Starting point is 00:00:00 Andy and Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding. Hello, Alex. I'm a first-time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work. I love you. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We are a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. Indeed, we are. Dan.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Hello. Dan, how would you describe this podcast to somebody who perhaps, for the first time, for some reason they found this podcast, this specific episode, had never heard our show before. That'd be tough. Already, five minutes in, baffled as to why other people listen to it, and somebody recommended it to them. I would say, first of all, mind your business,
Starting point is 00:00:40 stop being a judgemental asshole five minutes into the show. Dan, that's an aggressive way to start. And I'm sorry, because I kind of judge things pretty quick, too. All right, but now that's just too supplicant. I'm sorry I blew up at you. All right. Look, this is a podcast where me and my friend Jordan here, we sit down, we talk about Alex Jones.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Land it. Sometimes we talk about him in the present day. Land it. Sometimes, like today, we talk about things he's done in the past. Bring the plane into the runway. Other days. Usually on Wednesdays, we sit around and talk about other people, like Secret Space Program Weirdos.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Perfect. And Jim Baker, those sorts of con men. Oh, shit. I want to listen to this show now. It's pretty good. That's the show. So anyways, you know a lot about Alex Jones, and I know what you tell me about him.
Starting point is 00:01:23 There we go. That's our specific dynamic. There we go. And like I said, Jordan, today we're going to be back in 2009. Continuing that would be going over February 19th and 20th. Gotcha. In 2009, I was hoping to cover a wider swath of time because we're trying to get to this tea party breakout.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Yeah. Yeah. But just we were, we're like, we're on seven or eight episodes and we've done two weeks. Maybe. Weird shit keeps happening. That's the beauty of Alex Jones. I thought for sure we'd be able to get through three days.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And as I was going over the episodes, I'm like, nope, nope. This episode is too much, too much fun in it. So I'm very excited to tell you about a couple of the things I've learned. But there's one thing I'm more excited about. All right. And I was giving a shout out. Ooh, is it a new donor?
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah, actually today it's not a new donor. It is a donor who's taking their donation and bumped it up a little bit. Hell yeah. Very excited about this gentleman. We met us down in Austin. So it's not even a stranger. Very thrilled to be welcoming Chris into the realm of the
Starting point is 00:02:24 globalists. Chris, thank you so much. I'm a cozy wonk. Four stars. Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. Someone, someone, Sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. Daddy shark. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Thank you so much. Thank you so very much, Chris. You were a delightful man. If you would like to support the show, you can do so by going to our website, KnowledgeFight.com. Slightly remodeled now. Ooh. Didn't do all that much just took some of the clutter down.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Gotcha. There's still a button there that you can press to support the show. Frankly, at this point we should just have, seeing as how little we've updated a lot of content, we should just have a website that is the button. Yeah. Just a giant click this button to donate.
Starting point is 00:03:01 You were saying you don't have many hot takes for your blog lately. And then I've, all my writing about Alex has been so focused on this side project that I'm working on that I like, I don't want to write a blog post. Right. About like him saying something stupid. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:17 And just the impact value wasn't that. We should just change the website to a big flashing. Please support the show. Please support the show. Or. I want to write, I have takes. I want to write things. And then I get like, I finish it and I read it back and I go
Starting point is 00:03:33 through the rest of the internet. I'm like, who the fuck cares what you think? Right. Why in God's name would you care what I think? Yeah. There are so many people. It's mysterious. Every time I see Connor Friedersdorf's name in the
Starting point is 00:03:46 book, I'm like, why do we even bother? Let's all just quit. If that guy is allowed to have a job, fucking we should all quit. I bet you also think that his name is a little too long. That's my first thought. That's. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:58 See, now this is why that person judging the show five minutes in dead on, you are absolutely guilty of the same problem. We're only four minutes in. And also Jordan today is a special day in the neighborhood. Yes. Because Mr. Rogers is alive again. He is.
Starting point is 00:04:14 We brought him back. Ladies and gentlemen, Fred Rogers, he has some thoughts about Alex Jones. I believe it. I believe it. He's going to have to wait though because we have an announcement, Jordan. This is so big.
Starting point is 00:04:26 This is so big. Oh, yes, this is big for the longest time. We've been flirting around with the idea of being able to take phone calls and having a dedicated phone line. And now we do. This is going to be a disaster. So here's at least for now how it can work since we're not doing a lot of episodes live or any episodes live currently.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Yeah. Which we may get back to on a trial basis, maybe. But we have a phone line now and people can call in and leave messages and we can play them on the show. What? So for right now, we have a situation where if you call this number at any time, you can leave a message and we might screen them before we play them.
Starting point is 00:05:11 We also might not. There's a low probability. So I spent a long time, Jordan, going through phone numbers, trying to find acronyms. Yes. You were very excited when you found what you settled upon. I'm not. It's not perfect for our show, but I will say that the runner up
Starting point is 00:05:28 as I texted you was a phone number that spelled out tug fail. Yeah. No, tug flub. Tug flub was it? Yeah. I found both of those. I was like, that's a little too risqué for our show. Two of my favorite Robin Williams movies.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Flubber and flipper. Tugger and flub. All right. So, Jordan. Yeah. I haven't even told you this. Would you like to know what our new phone number is? I suppose I would.
Starting point is 00:05:55 It is American dialing code one. Area code. No. No. Just end with American dialing code. One, five, three, zero neon nips. Yep. Five, three, zero neon nips, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Hit us up and leave a message. If you can leave us a message with a better name for that. No, neon nips is real strong. That's what they used to call me in high school. What are the numbers? I don't remember. It's on any phone. Those even have the letters.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I have no idea what the phone number is. You know what? You know people give the thing to remember, and then the actual numbers too. It's like a reinforcement technique. We don't need to reinforce shit. Like neon nips is so strong. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Tell me, how do you call Forfeld Co. Right. For window siding indoors? It's, what? I don't know what the numbers are. I will never be able to call them. Do you have a phone, though? I'm not going to look at my phone.
Starting point is 00:07:06 That's the second step. You're not going to remember. That's the second page of Google search results. If I were to tell everyone the numbers right now, they wouldn't remember them, but they're going to remember neon nips. No, but they would have the tape to reference when they wanted to call.
Starting point is 00:07:19 They also have a fucking phone that has the letters on it. It's a lot of sixes. I'll tell you that much right now. That's all I remember. Probably should have written it down for you, so I'll give you that. One, American dialing code, one. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Area code 530. 530. That's a California number. Then a bunch of sixes, some of which spell neon nips. Neon nips. There we go. N-I-P-S.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Alright. Nipples. So. Yeah, we got it, Dan. Thrilled. We got it. Thrilled with this. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:07:53 It's neon nips. N-E-O-N-N-I-P-S. The S is irrelevant. If you dial the number and you add an extra number, it doesn't matter. You could throw nipples on neon nipples and it would be the same thing. The phone stops recognizing it
Starting point is 00:08:06 once you've dialed seven numbers. See, that's too many numbers, though. Yeah, it doesn't matter, though. So our number is neon nip. Yeah, but nips. Well, no, you don't know. Oh, that's cheating. Look, I wasn't going to go.
Starting point is 00:08:22 I wasn't going to go with. You quitter. I wasn't going to go with tug of flow. We need to have a vote on this. I've spent three fucking hours just looking at phone numbers. And you know what's really hard? You didn't consult our board of directors,
Starting point is 00:08:38 which consists of you, and then I have a qualifying vote that does not matter in the end. You know, one of the real difficulties, and I don't want to complain about anything. What's that? But when you're trying to make a word out of numbers in this way,
Starting point is 00:08:52 it's really difficult because... Standard boggle rules apply. Well, zeros and ones don't have letters attached to them. So any phone number that has a zero or a one in it is going to automatically chop up the world. You're right. So it became this really difficult thing of like trying to find cities in America
Starting point is 00:09:07 that don't have the first three letters, including a one or a zero. So I ended up in Chico, California. Chico, California is where we're from. Yeah. All right, we're going to have to... Skype has a really inefficient system for letting you buy a phone number.
Starting point is 00:09:20 We're going to have to get an LLC in order to make sure that we don't get sued by wherever it is. What's the name of it again? Chico. Chico, California. Well, Chico, welcome your two newest citizens. I was trying...
Starting point is 00:09:33 I was hoping to find something from, like, a city that actually had some meaning to me, like maybe somewhere in Missouri. Right. Or like my dad's from Fresno and Bakersfield, California. Maybe I could find one of those numbers. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:45 We couldn't find any. But there you go. Neon nips! Anyway. Jordan, are you ready for today's episode? Sure. Okay. So we're going to get down...
Starting point is 00:09:54 And if you're not ready for today's episode, we're going to call American Dialing Code 1, 530... Neon nips. Neon nips. So, like I said, we're back in the 2009... Yes. ...business, February 19th to 20th. And here is an out-of-context drop
Starting point is 00:10:08 from today's episode. Crocky, mate, that's fantastic. Have yourself a brew. All right. Don't mind if I do. I'm not going to lie. That was a lot better than I would have expected. That was a terrible accent.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Right. Terrible accent. But from Alex, that... Great grading on a curve. Yeah. That was not bad. Yeah. But he's also sitting with a couple of guys from Australia
Starting point is 00:10:31 while he's doing it. Oh, so it's offensive. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, good. Then we're still on brand. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:39 So here we go. We're starting off in the 19th. And Alex has seen a viral video that he wants to discuss. It's of Dick Van Dyke doing a cockney accent, which inspired him to be worse. Oh, no, no, no. Okay. There's a guy who has a conspiracy,
Starting point is 00:10:53 and this has triggered Alex a little bit. Just a novelty here. There was a viral video on the web a few days ago of someone opening up one of the digital TV converters put out by Magnavox, and saying that there was a hidden camera and microphone in it. Well, we went out and bought the very same model and opened it up,
Starting point is 00:11:17 and it does not have a microphone or camera in it. I can say that maybe this guy who put this video out, maybe he did have a camera and microphone in his Magnavox. No, he didn't. A digital TV converter. But we have some engineers here, degree engineers, and they looked at what was supposedly the camera and microphone
Starting point is 00:11:37 and said it looked like it had been stuck on there and was not connected to any real circuitry, because all the circuitry was the same. We know what the circuitry does, and the camera was not connected to the right type of circuitry. Here's to be a hoax. We're live on PrisonPlanet.tv, and at the end of the show,
Starting point is 00:11:52 I'm going to show you the TV converter box that we opened up and dug into and document that that's a hoax, because not only do we try to expose the mainstream media when they spin or lie or have an agenda, it's just as important that we try to keep the alternative media to a high standard as well. I mean, you don't,
Starting point is 00:12:12 but I like the sentiment, but you know what's going on here. Oh, yeah. They got their, they got their dicks hard thinking, oh, shit, we've got a whole new thing to talk about forever. And even then they were, they even had to say, we can't do this. Now, that is a good instinct on your part,
Starting point is 00:12:30 but it's slightly incorrect. One of Alex's big claims to fame is from like way early in his career. He on air opened up like a cable box and showed that there was like a microphone inside or something along those lines. He talks about it a lot. Like it being one of these things that was like,
Starting point is 00:12:47 it was one of my first rebellious acts and they told me they're going to arrest me if I did it. Sure. And of course it's from like way too far back that there's any video of it for me to go find and look at. But it's something that's really important to Alex's self mythology. So the idea that this guy is putting out a viral video
Starting point is 00:13:03 that's very similar to one of Alex's greatest hits is something that he's got a police. He's got to police that space a little bit. He's taking the opportunity to be like, look, we call out the mainstream media, but we also call out weirdos on YouTube. Yeah. His fake self-righteous bullshit is not fun.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I do enjoy how low the stakes are now though. God, the stakes are so low. Some random YouTuber and he's like, I'm taking this guy down. Love it. Beautiful. Not entirely different than it was even just a few years ago from present day.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Like in 2015 he was, I believe it was 2015, when he was like complaining about that guy with a like blog talk radio show. With probably like 20 listeners. So good. So yeah, until he got involved, like mixed up with Trump, like really, he would have engaged with us probably before all this.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I love his show when he's not trying to defend the fucking president. Like if Trump was just a guy and he was defending him, that'd be great. It's the fact that the stakes are too high. But it's fake stakes. It's like Trump's stakes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 All right guys. We're going to have to shut this whole pocket. All right. Thank you all. Area code 153. Neon nips. Yeah. I mean, the stakes are an illusion.
Starting point is 00:14:22 They're not real. Yeah. But it does feel like the stakes feel higher for him, but we know it's all a charade. The stakes are higher for us. Emotionally. No, I'm not. No, I don't mean that.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I mean, as far as somebody who's listening to it, the stakes are much higher in that I can listen to him talk about this shit or, you know, whatever, whatever it is that he's talking about in 2009. And I'm so emotionally detached from it because it's random and nonsense. Right. Whereas now if he's talking about anything,
Starting point is 00:14:51 if he's lying about anything the president's doing, it still reminds me that the president is not going to reunite those fucking kids with their families, that people have already been deported before being reunited with their kids. Right. Like you're defending a true legitimate monster who will go down in history as being the dumbest person and also
Starting point is 00:15:12 the first person since 1974 to be burnt alive by the entirety of America at the same time. Bold prediction. 340 million people all standing around in a big circle. He's, I'm going to, how tall do you think it would have to be to get everybody to be able to see it? Like the tower that, I'm talking about the wicker man that we're going to burn him in order to make sure that
Starting point is 00:15:34 the rains come. I mean, I don't know. The like Sears Tower is really big and you can't even see that from like more than three miles away or so. It's going to have to be real tall. It's going to have to be super big. It's going to have to be real tall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I think it's going to have to be prohibitively tall. Well, and as we know, if we build it too tall, God will of course feel like, oh shit, they're coming after me. They're coming close. Yeah. Again, his feet will hit the tire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I don't know. Dude, I think the issue that you're trying to, you're articulating is that like back then in 2009, a lot of his stuff, his rhetoric is very similar in terms of there's still a lot of bigotry and shit like that, but it's kind of impotent deceit that he's throwing out into the world, whereas now everything he does is in service of like reinforcing and defending a cruel, cruel system.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah. And even if he isn't really a part of that system and he's trying to attach himself for personal gain, it's still a reminder that that system is there. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's exactly how I feel about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Well, let's get rid of that and then go back to 2009. I've gotten rid of that feeling. I'm moving on. Right. I'm definitely not bringing some shit into this. That's why I like to start the weeks with the 2009 stuff so we can start on sort of a rosy. Then things get worse as the week goes along.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Like Wednesday, we find out like a real weirdo and then Friday, if we jump back to the present day, we all end the week bummed out. Bummed out. So here, Alex talks a little bit about what happened during the election there in 2008 and some things that I didn't know about this and I don't think it's true, but man, if it's true, bad times.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Troubling. I remember hearing rumors that in Connecticut and in Missouri Don't report rumors. You were criticizing Obama. The police would threaten to arrest you or would arrest you. Then it started coming out in mainstream news and police went on TV and said, if you talk bad about Obama, we're going to arrest you.
Starting point is 00:17:38 No. I said, that sounds like Nazi Germany. And if anybody had any questions about whether Obama was a carefully packaged corporate fraud, now we know the evidence is in. Like it's been a month at this point. I have to stress that the inauguration was like literally a month before this.
Starting point is 00:17:59 There's a difference between criticizing the president and then burning an effigy of him. One of those is more of an arrestable offense and the other one is pretty cool. Generally speaking, if I recall the time period immediately following Obama being elected, it was more the ladder that people were doing as opposed to the criticizing. Like pinching puppets of him and setting a fire?
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah, they were usually doing that. But I think that's actually even a little bit later than where we are here in February because a lot of that was part and parcel of the Tea Party protests. That's true. I know that that image is in people's hearts already a month into his presidency, but perhaps that wasn't being publicly done as much at this point.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I don't know. I don't have time-stamped pictures. I do have pictures of that, those protests, but I don't know the dates on that. We all keep them on our mantles. So at this point, Alex is so excited about the Obama deception coming out in March. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I think it's coming out March 15th. He's announced. Yeah. He's so excited about it that what he does is he decides to read his voiceover script on air. He spends an entire- Whoa, no, no, no, no, no. We're not going to listen to any of it.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Okay, okay. But he spends an entire commercial-to-commercial break, goes to commercial, comes back, does another half-segment, just reading from this script. One of the things that really stuck out to me was like, this is the same topic as end game. It's all the same shit. He's just repeating the same shit.
Starting point is 00:19:33 He's just plugged Obama in there. Yeah, exactly. He's like, oh, wait, end game, but Obama is a tool of the things that I talked about in end game. I'm going to just repeat my material. It's like he didn't think that he'd burned that material in end game. It's a comic who's trying to do late night again with the same
Starting point is 00:19:48 set. Pablo Francisco. It's like, that is dirty pool, man. We already saw this stuff on TV. Oh, yeah. You're not going to get any bookings. Put it on TV. It's burned.
Starting point is 00:19:57 So we're going to cut that out because who needs to listen to that if you want to. How's the performance though? Does he do a good voiceover job? He's definitely hamming it up. Has he improved since? I haven't watched any of his documentaries since end game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And I pray to God we never will again. Oh, we will. I've actually been hankering. Oh, god damn you. We may do that. God damn you. It's okay. It's on par with end game probably.
Starting point is 00:20:20 But at one point he does say, I wish I did it. I wish I would have taken this clip. He does say, there's a whole lot of voiceover in this one. It's a classic Alex Jones documentary. Yes. So at this point in time he's released what, two? No, he's released a fuck ton. He's released a ton of documentaries?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah. Obama deception I think is his maybe second to last one. He's released like 20 documentaries. He's released 20 documentaries? If you count loose change which he produced, he didn't direct or write that one. But yeah, he's a, there's like martial law. That was his Robert Evans phase. Whenever he was just putting, you know, he was just producing great movies.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Rosemary's baby. Sure. Sure. Kid stays in the picture. Yeah. All of those great movies directed by Jason Burmese. Jason Burmese's Rosemary's baby. Probably he would do another one of those.
Starting point is 00:21:15 The people who are satanic would be very different. Yeah. So yeah, he's done a fucking load of documentaries. Didn't know that. Most of them are like, we should never cover them because they were made on like shoulder cameras. Like they're very DIY. Like shoulder cameras from like the 90s.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Yeah. Okay. Like stuff that I was using for my broadcast production class at high school. Yeah. Yeah. And like I'm not saying that to shit on him. I respect the hell out of that hustle. When I was in high school, I did the school TV news program.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Uh-huh. And like I had to... Because you were the coolest. So cool. In doing it, we had those cameras you'd put on your shoulder. They were super heavy. You had to white balance them and everything. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And then they recorded on VHS tapes. And in order to edit, you had to go from VHS tape to tape. Like you had to... Editing was a disaster. Yeah. It was so time consuming compared to like digital editing stuff. And the fact that Alex Jones really put in the time to do all that, I tip my cap to it. The content is terrible.
Starting point is 00:22:18 You know, that's why professional operations... The effort is there. That's why professional operations used beta long past the beta wars had ended because beta had time stamps on it. So it would make editing a lot easier for you. Even back then he knew beta was cuck. Even back then. And give a shit.
Starting point is 00:22:36 So I do want to do another documentary. Certainly not soon. Because it takes way too much. Let's just do one about the beta VHS wars. Oh, I'd do that. Okay. Any day. So Jordan, what city do we live in?
Starting point is 00:22:47 Chico. Now we do. Now we do. We live in Chicago, Illinois. Okay. And at this point in the show, Alex gets a call from a guy named Steve from Chicago. And I'll tell you, Steve from Chicago is from Chicago. But he's one of the bad people.
Starting point is 00:23:08 He's the most from Chicago you can be. He sounds a bit like he's from Chicago. Okay. All right. Here we go. But also, he also spiritually sounds like one of those assholes that you meet from Chicago. Oh, that we know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Okay. Okay. Let's go ahead and talk to Steve in Chicago. Welcome, Steve. You're on the air. Hello. Yes, sir. I hear a lot of music.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Okay. I'd like to say about that cartoon that it's just Lenten cartoon set. Cartoon satire about the chimpanzee. This is a like a, this is like an editorial cartoon that had come out where Al Sharpton is a chimpanzee. So keep that in mind. He's going to be, he's going to be, he's going to be pro Al Sharpton as a chimpanzee. You might just be using that as a jump off.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Okay. Okay. But what I'm calling about is that there's an article in the Washington Times. There's an article talking about the holder says us cowardly on race back about six months ago or whatever it was. You know, I kind of figured that this was going to be a black power grab. And I said it was, I could excerpt some of the comments here. Criticism from conservatives, Tom Fenton, conservative judicial watch.
Starting point is 00:24:21 He says, quoting, I think we're going back, going to revert back to the old days of the federal government pushing quotas and race conscious of policy, public policy. Yeah. They'd be terrible. Steve, I hear you and I appreciate your call. I'm going to say this about it. You know, we don't let the news govern what we talk about here. He just rambles from there, but I do admire, I think he, Steve, I hear you and you're
Starting point is 00:24:44 going to drop the N word soon. So I'm going to let that was going close to a Chicago N. Like I love our, I was down at the bar the other day and this, whoa, Steve, we're going to have to let you go. We're going to have to let you go by Steve. There is a real branch of Chicago racism that is very rich in character and you can feel it coming from him. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:09 I don't know how to describe it. But when I was listening to this, I was like, oh boy, I've smelled that before. That took me to so many different dive bars. Oh yeah. Like I heard that voice and I was like, oh my God, I'm having flashbacks to this dive bar and this dive bar. Places where you accidentally did stand up and then accidentally stayed after the show. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Should have gone to bed. Yeah. You're talking to Steve from Chicago. Hey, you're, you're really, you're a real funny guy. You're a real funny guy. Let me ask you, let me, have you heard this joke? No. Steve's from like some sort of weird suburb, by the way.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I don't think he's from Chicago, Chicago. I'm guessing he sounds Chicago though. He does. Yes. But that voice extends to some of the, some of the, some of the suburbs. All right. My, my issue here is like, I think Alex let him talk too long. I think once he said, this is a black power grab, Alex should have been more like, all
Starting point is 00:26:04 right. Cause you can tell his response has nothing to do with what the guy's bringing up. Yeah. His response is like, I gotta spin this. What am I going to say? We don't listen to the news on my news program, but I do respect that he did cut him off before it got too harsh because it was gonna. That was solid.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah. It was gonna go real bad. You and I both heard after the first sentence that the N word was coming. It was around the corner hard. And it was going to be the Chicago or, which is even worse than the regular or deep dish. Oh yeah. Oh, not good. So, um, Alex spins his wheels for a bit and talks about, uh, nothing primarily.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And then he gets back to the topic of race and racism and this gets troubling. I assume he got it right. Modern multiculturalism constantly points out now are so-called differences over pigment in our skin in the name of fighting, uh, discrimination and things when I live in the United States. I'm young. I'm only 35. I grew up. I didn't see a lot of racial strife.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I didn't hear a lot of racial strife. It's the media that makes people look at each other different and makes people think about it. And we have a lot of problems in this country and we certainly don't need Eric Holder calling Americans all cowards on race. I would, I would say that most of what Alex talks about, about his childhood is either how many people he had sex with or how he's never been and he's never seen whites do racism.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Well, there's alternating. I've never seen whites do racism and then, uh, I was such a victim of racism. Oh yeah. Such a victim. And then he also just says a bunch of racist stuff. So I don't, I don't know how to parse that out exactly, but that is so like, if there is a wrong place to take this, that's probably it. Like I said earlier, I admire him shutting down Steve from Chicago, but then you don't
Starting point is 00:28:03 have to do this. But then he got, then he got introspective about it. And that was the worst thing he was like, well, I can't let this guy be racist. And then he starts thinking about it. He's just letting all of his, look, the moment is like, I'm kind of feeling like being racist. You know how racist somebody is whenever they get something so obviously wrong, wrong. Like, uh, when he said so-called differences in pigment and it's like, no, there are difference. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:27 There are differences that their, their, their skin is different because of pigment. Right. There you go. That's a normal thing. We're all fine with that. You don't have to fake politically correct. That one. No, that one you can be fine with.
Starting point is 00:28:38 We're all cool with that. Everybody agrees that there are differences in pigment. If you're starting from a, let's, let's put this whole so-called pigment difference out of the place. You're like, oh, you're super racist. It's a little facetious, a little glib for sure. It's preemptive. It's, it's too preemptive.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I would, I would definitely agree with that. Yeah. Um, so I, if that was all that happened and Alec, that was all he did, uh, in response to this conversation brought by Steve from Chicago, I'd be like, man, all right, whatever. But then he says this. Uh, you know, there's barrios right here in Austin, Texas with the Latino folks and they will tell you that, that, that they enjoy, they, they, they want to move to that area. Not all, you know, people want to be around folks that are like themselves.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Take, take Canada on the bordering areas where it's French and English. You will go there and you will see it's all, you know, it's white people, uh, you were French and English predominantly, but the neighborhoods are along, in many cases, lines of French versus English speakers and it's not because they hate each other. It's their culture. So there's a couple of problems here first. The French do hate the English. Uh, yeah, but also rightfully so, you know, the definition of barrio is that Alex is
Starting point is 00:29:55 just throwing around all flippantly. Uh, legitimately, I call, I might have thought he said Sabarro's these Mexican people want to move into this. Sabarro's, it's a buffet sandwiches and pizza barrio is the Spanish speaking quarter of a town or city, especially one with high poverty levels. Ah, it's essentially, so he said slum, right? Yeah, or a ghetto. It's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:30:21 It's like, you know, there's a lot of these, uh, these Hispanic folks and they want to move into the ghetto because there's people like them there. Right. That's where they want to move. Uh, that's where they want to move. It's definitely not a policy of redlining that has existed since, I mean, who could ever have imagined they want to move there? Alex, you're looking at the wrong variable.
Starting point is 00:30:41 No, they want it. They want to move there. It's, it's their, it's their choice. It's their choice. Please back up a tiny bit and also think about what exactly you're comparing this to because there aren't barrios for the French or the English speakers in like, uh, Quebec. Uh, yeah. Well, well, I mean, you say that and you're right.
Starting point is 00:31:02 So we can move on. There aren't poor areas of town that are almost exclusively one ethnicity living there in, uh, in Quebec. Oh, you know, the French barrios and the, well, man, that's stupid. That's dumb. Yeah. Where are you going? What do you got?
Starting point is 00:31:19 What do you got? It's a plate. Um, the baguettes. Uh, take that baguette and go to your barrio and shut up, you know, what do you got? No, you're just, you're just, you're just growling. No, no, no, no, let that go. I mean, I put ham on my baguette. It's the only meat I could come up with.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Wait. There you go. Chicken. There you go. I know a little bit of French. I mean, very emphasis on little. Oh, that did not stop me from this up on Thursday. No, that Thursday on Friday.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Yeah. I did. I'm not going to get over. I'm bonning it up. It's pretty good. That's pretty solid. Might have enough shirts. That's it.
Starting point is 00:32:19 That's a new. Yeah. That's our new thing. If only we had endless shirt possibilities. Um, but on Friday, I was like, uh, if only we had a shirt. Possibility. Yeah. Single shirt.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Um, the, I might have to move at the end of this month. Yeah. Where my, my living situation is a little bit up in the air right now. Yeah. Um, and it's causing me a great deal of stress to the point of on Friday, I was legitimately looking at apartments in France. Yeah. Use.
Starting point is 00:32:45 I was like legitimately on websites doing conversions of euros to American. I believe the text I received was that the rent in Stockholm is prohibitively high. Yep. That's another, I, well, I looked at a number of countries and I was blown away at how expensive it is to live in Sweden. You get health care. Yeah. That's probably part of it.
Starting point is 00:33:04 You'd have to get a gig though. You'd have to get a job. I got a job and that's staying alive. Jesus. All right. All right. Too silly. Let's get back on track.
Starting point is 00:33:12 What do we do? Well, we, it's just sort of like trying to dance around, not talking about Alex being more consistent, but he does, he does continue his thoughts and it leads to this. And we do see people working together and living together and getting along and you know, going out to restaurants together. But we don't, you know, it says we need to talk about race at work. We need to, you know, I find that that actually causes problems. Play him off.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Play him off. I'll just be friends. Turn it up. We not talk about what people are all day, but see the establishment wants to inject that into the debate, inject that into the debate, inject it into the debate so they can then get all this white guilt going and then attach different government policies and programs onto that. So we can all be sharecroppers on the plantation.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Okay. So just a huge distraction and diversion. I would say you shouldn't talk about race at work. You individually, that will cause problems. And for people who are emotionally equipped to deal with it, who don't have a massive chip on their shoulder and think that anybody who's talking about race relations and systematic racism and power imbalances are just trying to create white guilt. I think if that's in your worldview, you probably aren't ready for it.
Starting point is 00:34:30 But everyone else I think would handle it. And I think that conversations about race are not like, Hey, look at you. Look at that skin on you. Yeah. That's not what the conversation is. Look at your so-called pigments. It's not about like some sort of weird, like, aren't we different? It's about like, Hey, I, you know, it'd be interesting to understand how you see the
Starting point is 00:34:50 world on an empathic level, like understanding the things that go on in people's lives that you don't have access to because it's not part of your experience. Yeah. Like I was just reading a story. It happens all the time and it just keeps on repeating over and over and over again. I saw a story just on like an end of last week on Democracy Now about a girl who was eating lunch at her college and someone called the police because they said that she didn't look like she belonged.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Yeah. It was just a black student. Yep. And she posted about it as like the only thing I was doing was being black. Being black while eating. Well, but like, I know that these stories keep happening and it's almost redundant to bring them up, but there are those things that are outside of your experience. And if you don't talk to people about racial issues or you shy away and think everything
Starting point is 00:35:35 is about white guilt, you'll never be able to understand them. You'll always have that sort of stupid idea. And then you end up like Alex Jones. Well, just on Saturday, my girlfriend and I, my parents came up to visit and we went out to eat lunch with them. And afterwards, we had to continue talking because, you know, families and stuff. It's polite. And my girlfriend just told my parents because she grew up in South Africa during apartheid.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Right. And so she told my parents the story where this black person who worked on their ranch because that was just how everybody did stuff at the time. Right. Was bitten by a snake and her dad runs out and it calls 911. And the ambulance that shows up says, oh, I'm sorry, we don't handle black patients. You're going to have to take them to a black hospital. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:36:31 And my parents just heard that and were like, what? I mean, racism? I never even, like they, I saw their faces and it was legitimately, they never thought it was real because they'd never heard of a person who experienced it telling them before. There's less of an awareness of those things because you've never saw them out or you've always been defensive whenever you've heard them. Exactly. And it's a troubling, sad state of affairs.
Starting point is 00:36:58 And it doesn't apply just to race. It applies to sexuality, gender, nationality, all sorts of immigrants. Immigrant status, all those sorts of things. They made me feel like genuinely, if I just brought all of my friends from varying backgrounds into talk to my parents and tell them, tell them one story, they'd like, you know, week in a week, they'd be like, oh, shit, I think there might be something to this whole liberalism thing. We've made a huge mistake.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Whoa. We are years behind on this thing. Wait a second. So you're telling me that gay conversion therapy not only didn't help. It made you want to kill yourself. Oh, shit. I thought it was super chill. I thought it was great because God, remember when God was there?
Starting point is 00:37:42 Oh, God wasn't that the gay conversion therapy. It was just violence. Oh, no. And sexual abuse. Oh, boy. That's not good. Yeah. So, I mean, I guess to put a button on all that because we're out of the racist chunk
Starting point is 00:37:53 for now, although there's another one coming up, don't get me wrong. There's just a lack of willingness to engage. That's all I hear. Yeah. So just someone who just is like, this is my opinion. I'm going to take it as an affront on myself when anyone tells me anything that is outside of whatever I believe. And also I'm super not mad that the president is black.
Starting point is 00:38:16 I just don't like him for other reasons. Totally not mad that he's black. He goes on zero madness about him having a so-called different pigment. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He goes on like this really long thing about the thing, like the problems that he has with Obama.
Starting point is 00:38:30 And what he spends the most time on is the idea that Obama said that he wasn't going to be having a bunch of lobbyists in his administration. And then there were lobbyists that popped up. And I would say fair play. Fair play. Yeah. I'm on board. Fuck that guy.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Right. But if that's what you spend the entirety, like almost the entire time he's complaining about specifics about Obama, there is like, he said he was going to bring the troops home day one. And maybe he aspired to, but then when he got in, he realized he couldn't. That would be rebuttal to that. But also I agree. It sucks that he wasn't able to follow through with that.
Starting point is 00:39:06 But in terms of the lobbyists, that's what he spends. Closing Guantanamo, of course. But he might have also realized the logistical nightmares of that. Agreed. Like the quagmire of legal issues that would come with just letting people out. Which I think he still should have done. Take the hit. You know?
Starting point is 00:39:22 Right. Bite the bullet and make things as right as you can. I mean, that's the thing. We can re-litigate Obama's presidency for forever. And we can imagine what we would do in that situation, but we don't possibly understand exactly the name of the plate. But in terms of the, what was I saying, the people, I keep trying to keep coming up with sponsors.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I know. Sponsors. The Coca-Cola. Lobbyists. Lobbyists. Yeah. Sponsors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Sponsors. So with the lobbyists, that's one of his chief complaints about Obama, he should have the same complaint about Trump. Oh, you think? I mean, so it just rings false to me. I don't think that everything is just because it's a black president, but I can't get away from that has to be a part of it. The way he interacts with race, the way he feels about being made to feel guilty about
Starting point is 00:40:17 white stuff and the fact that his complaints about Obama are things that he should complain about Trump for. And we'll get to a fucking huge one in a little bit, but like it just doesn't track for me. It can't, there has to be a bigger reason and it's not, it's not that Trump is against the globalist. It doesn't track for any reasonable human being. No. But there's zero way to look at Trump as president and not think, oh, this is because a black
Starting point is 00:40:45 guy was president. And the whites had to fucking rise up or whatever it is, fucking, we're aliens. So speaking to aliens, get rid of us, speaking to aliens. Nice transition. The, the thinker, Alan Watts often talks about aliens. Not Rodin. The alien Rodin. The alien Rodin.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah. The space monster Rodin. Also the rapper from the monster islands ours. Second rap reference. What's the third one going to be talking about the sculptor, but fine. Okay. Oh, I didn't realize that. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:41:19 You didn't realize that. I didn't realize that the Godzilla monster had artistic talent. Was he an alien? Or was it an alien? I don't know. I think it was. Which one was Rodin? Rodin wasn't the dragon.
Starting point is 00:41:32 No. That was King Ghidorah. Yeah. That was definitely King Ghidorah. The three headed space monster King Ghidorah. Yeah. No. King Ghidorah came from a volcano.
Starting point is 00:41:40 It wasn't from space. It was from deep within. Space. It's from another planet. The monster is zero on. If you not seem to destroy all monsters, how dare you? Trying to think. Mothra was a moth.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Mothra was a moth. Mothra was actually the. Mothra was awesome. Mothra was the protector of earth. Mothra was the protector of earth. Yeah. That was a big part of Mothra's backstory is that he, he, it was like had light powers and shit.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Yeah. And then he came into this. I have a lot of thoughts about the theme from Mothra. About the cast of characters in the Godzilla universe. Well that too. But also that the theme of Mothra was specifically sampled by Pharaoh Mothra. We're not doing this again. We're not doing this again.
Starting point is 00:42:25 We're not doing this again. I've done this before. We're not doing this again. I know. I know. That's why I tried to stop myself. I just wanted. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Anyway, Alan Watts. That's where that started. Yes. There we go. It's not on this episode. God, I want Alan Watts on info wars. So bad. Every time Alan Watt is on, I get a little bit like, yeah, and what would that combo
Starting point is 00:42:47 be? And Alex Jones, the art of Zen. But Alan Watt is on. And I will say that I think that, I think I've probably made this point before, but I think that Alex got a lot of his early narratives from Alan Watt. I think that he is responsible for a great deal of the fake source information that Alex uses in end game because their interview is just rehashing end game shit. And I'm pretty sure the last time we talked about him, we had the exact same conversation.
Starting point is 00:43:14 The lights just went out a little bit. Everything should be fine. I mean, my recorder is on a battery and everything. Okay. So I don't think that. All right. I was odd. It did that earlier today too.
Starting point is 00:43:25 If I were Alex Jones, I'd be like, Hey, it's the globalists coming to get us trying to turn off the lights. I wish I was exploitative. Yeah. No, I think it was just like a power. This house is also kind of shit. Yeah. You know, it's just one of those things.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Maybe it's a good thing. I want to go to France. It might be a good thing to move to France. We've got a phone number now. I can just call in and we can do the show. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Or I can move to, we could both move to Chico, California.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I think neon nips also translates in French. Neon nips. Neon nips. So Alan Watt also, like the thing that really stuck out to me and because we covered it so much in the end game coverage, which if you want to go listen to that, you can send the archives. Yeah. We don't need to, I think we learned our lesson on the last episode of like doing too much.
Starting point is 00:44:10 We covered this already. Yeah. But it's interesting because they, like Alan Watt has a very specific reading on the club of Rome. And because I've read their shit, I know that he's wrong, but I also know that it's exactly what Alex puts out. So I have a working theory that Alan Watt is the one who has like led him astray. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Down that path. So, so he's Alex's pez. He's like, Alex is a lot dispenser. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah. And it's interesting because Alan Watt is like in the same vein as Alex Jones, absolutely, but he's much less famous.
Starting point is 00:44:43 So there is this weird thing where he's the less famous one, but he's also clearly the one who's like a pipeline for narratives. Right. It's kind of like, if you're like a famous comic and you have a friend who's funnier than you, but he never made it, who, who's like, yeah, you're like, God, you're never heard of that situation happening. I think it's been in a lot of movies about stand up. So I don't want to talk about the stuff that we've already covered with Alan Watt, but
Starting point is 00:45:06 I wanted to let him be represented on this episode. And so I have one clip of Alan Watt, which we have not heard before. And I think that this is ludicrous. It's also something that was discussed over a hundred years ago at world meetings. And that was, that's what this guy sounds like. Identify those who could have leadership qualities down the road and go against the agenda and, and get the public to follow them. That's also part of this big screening process.
Starting point is 00:45:33 They've done the same thing with the drugging of children, mainly young males in school with pro with the different drugs to give them, riddling, et cetera. This is to these guys are generally very inquisitive. They ask lots of questions. They're diagnosed as being hyper because they ask questions or they're not happy with the answers they get. And they generally have leadership capabilities. So the agenda has never, ever faltered from how it was set down a hundred years ago.
Starting point is 00:45:59 They're, they're right on track with this. So, yeah, I mean, you nailed it. All right. I mean, that was kind of where I wanted to weave the end of the clip is like, why are you so focused on men? Oh, maybe it's because that is what you think that leadership is, that leadership only exists within the male of the species. And it's just, it's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:46:20 He certainly talks about white fears more than male fears, but he talks about male fears quite a bit. Male fears is number two. White number one, male number two. Christian is really strong in there too. Christian is real strong in there. That's also more current than in 2009. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:37 He's absolutely still a weirdo Christian in 2009, but he is not as like, he doesn't hate Islam in 2009. He does not trust them. Right. But he doesn't hate them. He doesn't hate them in the same way. Like it's really weird. Like I, I, when we started this 2009 shit, I had made, I like in my head, I was going
Starting point is 00:46:58 to make a point of like every episode being like, Alex still does not think Muslims are demons. Also has not brought up George Soros once. Right. Like I was, I wanted to keep a running tally of it, but I haven't. Like somebody, like somebody in a prison cell putting down the, yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:47:16 He's still not brought up Soros at all. But he does talk about other globalists. And of course at this point who he thinks the chief head of the globalists are is a Rockefeller, David Rockefeller. So he says this, We'll take David Rockefeller, what he said before the builder group and then a similar statement before the trilateral commission in 91. He laid out the elites ultimate goal.
Starting point is 00:47:37 He said, quote, the super national sovereignty of an international again, quoting the super national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practice in the last centuries. Yeah. That's just standard new world order speak 101. And of course, you know, the other famous quote from, from David Rockefeller, who's like the poster child of the bad guys. The Omni Budsman.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Yeah. As far as we're concerned. What do you think about that? That first, I mean, especially what do you think of that last word? Omni Budsman. I mean, generally it's called an ombudsman. Well, he's trying to combine omnibus and omnibudsman, I think. But also I wouldn't call David Rockefeller an ombudsman because the definition of that
Starting point is 00:48:22 is an official appointed to investigate individual. Oh, do you have the definition up against you? Yeah. Now administration, especially that of public officials. Yeah. I don't think he's an ombudsman at all. Also, it's just to be even more petty. Supra national, not super national.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Oh, even to be further petty. That's not a real quote. Sometimes it's fun. Yeah. That's a quote that has like really shaky attribution. No one can really pin down. It just started appearing like a year or two after the 1991 Bilderberg conference. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:04 The people who were pushing it the hardest and the most from people who have gone in and tried to figure out where did this quote originate because it's not recorded anywhere. It's not in any solid reporting. Right. It was pushed very strongly by the National Front. A publication run by the National Front. Yeah. Which is the French political party that was run by Marine Le Pen's dad.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Oh, I... It was a Nazi. Oh, no. People say Nazi. And what they mean is vichys was. That's a soup. Dude, I don't. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:43 I just want Alex to fucking pick a side on the Nazi issue once and for all. Why is it that earlier? Why is it it's like, oh, that sounds like Nazi Germany. And then later on, he's like, I love Hitler. Like just fucking, if you're going to do the Nazi thing, then just embrace it or walk away from it. Don't live in this half, half measured bullshit. I think that's what all Nazis have to do though, because everyone hates Nazis.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Yeah. So they have to publicly decry and complain that who they don't like are the actual Nazis. Are the actual Nazis. You also would love to adopt a lot of the strategies of those people. Yeah. You want to use a lot of the rhetoric. Brilliant. You want to incite them as sources against your globalist enemies and what have you.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I mean, it's, it's a good game. No Nazis. So always punch Nazis. I agree. I agree. And if you can find. Apparently the Portland cops are far for Nazis and very anti anti Nazis. I saw some weird footage of that protest.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Yeah, it's so strange that law enforcement would be on the side of white supremacists. Man, it's almost like there's a concerted effort within the community. I mispronounced weird. I meant predictable. I know, right? Yeah. You read you. I read that Guardian report and I was like, Oh, you guys are surprised.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Aren't you? Come on, man. Come on, man. Come on guys. So Alex has a couple of film crews in the studio at this point because apparently the IFC is doing a like an episode of something about conspiracy theories. The independent film channel. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Okay. I have no confirmation of them actually being there. Okay. He also has this. He could just be making this up. He also has this Australian film crew that he does that impression of right. Right. Who are doing a show called a conspiracy hunter, which I tried very hard to find online.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I searched IMDB. I searched the name of the show. The only thing that came up if you search the show number one answer on the board, Bogan Hunter might be very offensive. I'm not from Australia, but I think that might be super offensive. Well, the reason that it didn't become a show is because it was actually about a guy who hunted conspiracy theorists and Alex killed him and ate him. So they couldn't make the show.
Starting point is 00:52:07 That's entirely possible. Yeah. You can't make a show about a conspiracy hunter if he gets killed by his first conspiracy hunter Van Helsing, the shooting Van Helsing conspiracy theories. I would posit a different scenario. Okay. These guys were working on spec. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:21 And they were trying to make a show that didn't have a home on any channel. And then they got the footage together and people are like, nah, not buying this too soon for the history channel guys. You should have waited around another five years and then you would have been fine on the history channel. Alex was on that show. Brad Meltzer is decoded. I think that's Brad.
Starting point is 00:52:41 It's something Meltzer. There's two guys named Meltzer. One is a wrestling journalist and the other is a conspiracy theory dude. And I can't remember which one is both named Brad. No, it's just Meltzer. Even more confusing. It could be both of Brad Meltzer's. I only know this because those are two topics that I talked to Marty DeRosa about a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:59 And that's why they've become completely messed up in my head. Yeah. Much like Gavin and Nigel McGinnis. I have no idea which is which. Same fucking shit. So I mean Alex was a consultant on that show and it was on the history channel. So the history channel clearly isn't like Alex can't come anywhere near our shit. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:53:14 He also was on Jesse Ventura's show, but I think that was on true TV. Fair enough. Also, everyone should go watch that show. It's embarrassing. But Alex is thrilled that he has this film crew in studio and he accidentally let something slip that works into one of my theories that had been up to this point kind of vague. I'm lying about everything. No, that's not vague.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Oh, that's a very strong theory. You know, I want to do something in here live on TV. Because this is crazy. We got two different crews in here and a bunch of folks out there. Guys, rotate this camera around right here and show the boom mic and some of the stuff and rotate this camera over here around and kind of get the back shot of this fellow with a big camera here. This is cool.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Make it look like a black exploitation film. What's going on in here? And plus people keep wanting to get a tour of the new studios. I'm so busy finishing the Obama deception, literally working 18 hours a day, many days. Most days about 16 and a half, 17, not counting transit time that I haven't had time to shoot video of the studio. The new studio. This is only important to me because it works into my theory of they moved into a new studio
Starting point is 00:54:20 around the time when oil was through the roof. Yeah. And Alex Jones' dad had a ton of surplus revenue coming in. Yeah. So it works from a timeline standpoint. I have nothing concrete backing this up, but man, the circumstantial evidence is starting to pile up that Alex was making a lot of money off his dad's oil. Now see, it works into my theory that Alex is always actually including transit time
Starting point is 00:54:43 even when he's saying he's not including. Oh, no, that part also is hilarious. Totally true. Yeah. 18 hours a day plus, not including transit time. Come on, Alex. Come on, Alex. Weird.
Starting point is 00:54:55 You know, it's, you know, it includes transit time. And even then you're dicking around half the time being racist. Right. You're just texting weird white shit on your phone. Weird white shit. I don't know. Now that's, that's our history channel show right there. Weird white shit.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Weird white shit. First episode. We'll just show episodes of naked and afraid and be like, what the fuck are white people doing? First episode, miracle whip. Manny's already exists. Why do they do this? Tasty zip of miracle whip.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Get the fuck out of here. Are you sweat macaroni and cheese? What is that smell? There was a time in my life. So there's some stuff that I ended up having to cut out because of just time and we couldn't enjoy all these clips. Alex suggests that Austin. What got cut?
Starting point is 00:55:41 Austin police chief, Art Acevedo is trying to set him up. Who again, we turns out like the only, he's the only police chief I've ever liked in my entire life. He seems like he's above board. Yeah. I'm not entirely sure. He seems like a cool dude. Let's talk about how is this Obama thing going to end a bunch, which is like, I'm becoming
Starting point is 00:56:01 president. It's been a month. But then even further, he brings in this guy named Bob Dassy, who's a Austin local conspiracy weirdo. He's a libertarian weirdo. We have talked about him before and I swear to God, every time you say his name, I hear Bob Fosse. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:19 And I cannot not think about it. Like there's the, that's the only thing I think about. There's also a great improviser who's been on improv for humans whose name is Bob Dassy and that threw me for a fucking yeah, because there's a great episode with just him and Andy Daly and Matt Besser. Uh-huh. And I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Just kind of a second.
Starting point is 00:56:36 That would be great. That freaked me the fuck out. Do you know what else? He's actually Brendan Dassy from making murder. Yep. Yep. It's all the same guy. Finding out what the murderer is within.
Starting point is 00:56:50 What is a murderer? So unnecessary plug for another podcast, but if you want something really funny, my buddy Kyle Ayers made a podcast called faking a murderer where he lured other comics in to do a podcast about making a murderer, but he'd never told them that he had not watched it. So he just bluffed having watched the show with a bunch of comics. So he did a mini series of that. That's really funny.
Starting point is 00:57:15 That's pretty funny. Called faking a murderer. That's pretty funny. I recommend it to everybody. All right. So this guy is a guest and also Mike Rivera, they sort of three man it, they do a little thing. Mike Rivera is calling in from Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:57:27 He's the guy who has the show called what really happened with Mike Rivera. He ends up maybe a year from now, maybe a little bit past that, leaving Alex and turning on him because he's like, this guy is puppet of Israel. Mike Rivera hates Israel. Yeah. Cause that makes as much sense as anything else. We'll see how this progression works out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:47 He is on calling in from Hawaii. Bob Dassey is in studio. They've just had a nice bull session where they're saying Obama sucks and it's nothing substantial, nothing meaningful. But then we learned that Bob Dassey runs a hardware store in Austin, wait, right. Wait what? So he runs a hardware store. We're going to run the hardware store.
Starting point is 00:58:09 We're going to learn about that. Like, is it a mom and pop hardware store? No, it's like a true value. Oh, okay. Well, then fuck it. I don't give a shit now. Mom and pop place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:18 If it was a mom and pop place, but if it's a true value, go fuck it. He's just a manager. He doesn't run a hardware store, perhaps franchisee, maybe. So he runs this hardware store. We're going to learn a little bit about it. But then something far more important happens and that is Alex maybe has a stroke and turns into a character, much like someone might do on improv for humans. Like if Bob Dassey, the other one was on improv for humans, he might do a character
Starting point is 00:58:43 that goes this fucking long. Tell folks where your little hardware store is in Austin. Your little hardware store. Well, you know, we're the local true value franchisee here in Austin and we're at Spouse with the Springs Road in 183 in Northwest Austin and we have a hardware store and we make screens and we sell Alex Jones' videos and do a little bit of locksmithing and do all kinds of things. What?
Starting point is 00:59:05 Do you even sell guns? Real quick, this goes on a while, but like this did not, there's nothing that's set up. No, this is, this is not seem set up at all. No, no, no, but there's also nothing before this that leads you to believe, oh, he's about to do a British guy. So Bob Dassey himself is even like, I'm just trying to talk about screens, I'm trying to do screen doors, man.
Starting point is 00:59:36 And I sell guns at my hardware store. Yeah. That's not a hardware store anymore. It's a Texas hardware store. I guess some people, some people call guns hardware. I assume every, but every store sells guns in Texas. Yeah, probably. I would like a whole booth gun.
Starting point is 00:59:50 The problem with the selling of guns right now, Alex, is it's awful hard to get right now. But the rather you can't have the slaves, you could still go on. A lot of slaves. Barack the quack has made everyone want to buy guns. He's been really good for the gun industry. North Obama is a sensible individual, total disarmament of the civilian population under the unity of 2001, July 7th agreement to disarm all civilians for a power monopoly of the
Starting point is 01:00:18 state under UN law is the only sensible system ever going to carry out eugenics against these slaves. They're rabble scum, they need to be authorized immediately and how dare they not want to be slaves. Are you okay? They're going to be in inner city reservations. How dare they not submit to microvarious still hanging out on. I was going to say, Mike, Mike has to be like, uh, are you, should I be asking if you're
Starting point is 01:00:47 okay? I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to punt on this. There's your, there's your home life. Okay. Alex, there's a whole another minute of this character that can't be real. I'm just going to cut it off. No, we can't do any more of that. I think everyone got the taste.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Yeah. The taste of it is, he's ironically saying that, uh, he's, he's playing a character about how slaves shouldn't have guns, but he's actually literally saying that because black people and other disassociated groups have power now, they're saying that white people can't have guns. And so it's echoing the very real crimes that white people committed. And yet at the same time, they're not actually happening. So it's a white person once again saying, Oh, of course you're doing this to me because
Starting point is 01:01:32 this is exactly what I would do to you. Interesting. Um, so that's the end of the 19th. The only other thing that happens is that Alex predicts to a caller very specifically that within a few years, the dollar is going to go away and be replaced by the Amaro, which I don't know. Did that happen? Nine years.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Let me check my watch nine years later. Nope. Still got dollars. What is the conversion rate though? To the Amaro. Yeah. It's an infinity. Because it doesn't exist.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Is it infinity? It's like the Venezuelan currency. It's a 1 million percent inflation. More or less. Gotcha. So now we move on to the 20th. This is a Friday. So Alex is ready to get the week done.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Um, and he wants to come pretty correct. He wants to come hard on this, uh, this Friday. Sure. Sure. And so you might have noticed that there wasn't a lot of talk of what is the predominant narrative in this patch of February, 2009 that we've been going over, which is all of these states with their sovereignty bills. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Stuff like that. I thought he'd let that go by now. He's not. He gets back to it. Uh, as soon as we start up the 20th. But we have more guest. Representative Leo Berman, who's a senior member of the house of Texas representatives, has introduced an extremely powerful state rights declaration in Texas.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Why are you using that? Because the listeners of this radio show and others in the last two weeks hammered him and pointed out what was happening. So he got involved. He will be joining us. What? Very exciting tease. What is, what is that voice?
Starting point is 01:03:04 Um, what is his intent? That's a, I don't know. I think it's, I think it's lascivious. I don't know what he's intent in 2009. I don't know what his goals are half the time. He's just throwing shit out and I don't understand what was that British voice. That's true. He is having fun.
Starting point is 01:03:20 That's it. There's no goal. Yeah. He's just throwing this shit at the wall because he knows that it doesn't really matter. He knows on some level that what he's talking about isn't real. Right. He's just drumming up here and selling his wares and he's got a stable operation going. But it only, it's this weird, like terrifying ground that he must be walking on where in
Starting point is 01:03:43 in order for him to stay okay as the economy gets worse. He has to pretend that the economy is going to keep getting worse. So he has to keep being really negative if things are going to stay positive on his spreadsheets. For him. Yeah. So it's a very, it's a very weird line to walk when I'm sure for him, he was like, everything's going to be fine. I don't really care.
Starting point is 01:04:05 And that's why he allows himself to do three minute long British impressions yelling about UN treaties that don't exist. Right. That's why he allows himself to do that lascivious voice about this Texas house concurrent resolution that doesn't mean anything. Again, what is, what, yeah, I'm, I, I enjoy, I enjoy untethered. I enjoy untethered Alex where it feels like he has no agenda with this other than just like, there's an agenda is bigotry still for sure.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Well, yeah. But I mean, like that's, but that's always his agenda. We can, we can let that go because now he's just being a dick for no reason. Right. Right. Like the guys even coming on his show and he's already starting up like, and he comes to us from a resolution like, fuck you, but I don't think that it was an elitist voice that he was doing there.
Starting point is 01:04:51 I think, like I said, I think it's lascivious. Like it's almost sexy that this bill is getting introduced because Alex and his audience are so powerful that they can get in touch with the Texas state legislature and make them do things. Hmm. That's what I think that voice, that's what it evokes in me. I don't understand his British accents then. This is, this, this is the next day.
Starting point is 01:05:10 This isn't necessarily British. I think it was. That one sounds British though. Play the clip. I don't want to play the clip. Play the clip. All right. Get played by.
Starting point is 01:05:18 But we have more guest. Plurals. Representative Leo Berman, who's a senior member of the house of Texas representatives, has introduced an extremely powerful state rights declaration in Texas. In Texas. Because the listeners of this radio show and others in the last two weeks hammered him and pointed out what was happening. So he got, he got involved.
Starting point is 01:05:42 All right. Now, you know what? I think it's a little. I think you're, I think you're, I mistook the Lilts for a, for a British accent because we were coming right off the heels of the British accent clip. That was on me. Yeah. I apologize.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I appreciate that. You're a big man. I accept my, uh, incorrectitude. So because we played that clip twice, we have to cut this next one and I don't really care about this. He's just talking about how, um, the, the people are cracking down on Swiss bank accounts and this is an attack on the new voriche. I thought it was an attack on the Swiss.
Starting point is 01:06:12 No, but I would also say that most people don't have Swiss bank accounts unless they're hiding something because of Swiss, uh, secrecy banking laws and what have you. The only reason to have a Swiss bank account is if you want to hide something new voriche or not. Hey, you know what? And it's not even popular anymore, uh, but the Cyprus bank account is a great way to hide money unless you are Paul Manafort and you are about to go down for it or incorporating an Ireland.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Yeah. You know, there's all. Incorporating Ireland is a great idea. So that's all. So give us a call from Chico, California over at five, three, zero neon nips. So, um, that is dumb, super dumb, but this might be dumber. Okay. I mean, it's official army war college doctrine.
Starting point is 01:07:03 They put it back out in 2000. It's in my book to send into tyranny. It's all public. This is sick. You know where they got the idea for the matrix, bro? They got that from Pentagon plans. Look, I know it sounds insane. I know putting satellite tracker boxes in your card and taxing you sounds insane, but
Starting point is 01:07:28 that they say that humans will be put into tanks in hive mind and that for our safety, there'll be no more murder or crime. We will live in tanks from birth. This is the, this is it. Um, that's the Pentagon's plan. And so the Wachowskis got it from the Pentagon. Um, well, there's one problem that I think of, no, I can't think of any problems. And then the date he specified there is 2000.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Don't understand. Matrix came out in fucking 1999. No, I can't think of any reasons why that would be different. Also big problem is I read a bunch of interviews with the Wachowsky siblings, uh, about this, about, you know, the inspiration, uh, for the matrix. And you think something like that might be hinted at. You know what I mean? Well, I mean, even if you're, even if you're a Kubrick, uh, uh, conspiracy theorist with
Starting point is 01:08:21 the shining, you're still like, well, he hinted at it. He's raising his eyebrows all the time. Yeah. You know, that's sort of Kubrick. Yeah. Um, and, and in these interviews that I read, they were all basically about the ideas of Buddhism, quantum physics, mathematics, a lot of cyberpunk influences and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:08:41 And various, yeah, various, and, uh, and comics that, uh, they were fans of, there's a bunch of direct references to Akida, uh, big time. Yeah. And other things to the point of, uh, people saying that it was a kind of just a remix movie instead of a, yeah. And the other thing too, that is really important is that Alex, the way he's presenting this is the idea of it, like it comes into his concept of, uh, predictive programming, where you put out the movie, that's the truth, that's science fiction, and it's just preparing
Starting point is 01:09:12 the public for the reality. Right. And if that were the case, I would argue that the Wachowskis had a, would have had a much easier time making that movie because if you go, if they just had the Pentagon to go right off of, well, yeah, because if you, if you look at the interviews with them and you hear about what it took to get that movie made, they were not able to secure funding until they had proof of design, like the idea that they were able to actually do the things that they had conceived of, and then also had Keanu Reeves signed on right before that, no one
Starting point is 01:09:46 would give them funding. If it was a predictive programming situation where the government wanted this message to get out, they probably would have fast tracked it and made it a lot easier. In one interview, they're talking about like, how did you get the funding? Right. Uh, I think it was Lana said, we had to go all over the world to get funding. They had to go insane hoops had to be jumped through in order to make that movie. I'm not saying that in this, in some way that it's like, thank God they did.
Starting point is 01:10:14 It's the best thing ever. But if you think that that was a cakewalk, you are an idiot theory. Keanu Reeves works for the Pentagon. That's possible. Every movie he's made has been predictive programming because what else, what else has he made? Time travel movies, Dan, uh, underground fight movies, like Angel movie, the Angel movie. No, that was Constantine.
Starting point is 01:10:35 That was kind of an angel. Right. It's based on a long standing DC vertigo project. Anyways, uh, what about, what about his band dog star now dog star does not work for the Pentagon? No, that's just joy. They work for the heart. That's what they work for.
Starting point is 01:10:49 I, look, what was it? Shit. Now I can't even remember. I can't even remember the number. Uh, no, that one, that one is not from the Pentagon. Okay. They disavowed that project a long time ago. I actually, what about, what about the Nia soundtrack for sweet November?
Starting point is 01:11:05 Was that the Pentagon? God, anytime we talk about Keanu, you always bring it back to end. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now, cause we're eventually going to live in a world where John Wick is normal. Who can say who isn't going to be John Wick only time at the end of John Wick too.
Starting point is 01:11:20 It turns out that everybody in New York as an assassin. So that's fine. I should say I've not seen John Wick, but I really should anyway, I'll see it eventually every single person listening to this podcast, just through their headphones onto the ground. Probably. And I'm sorry. They threw their headphones to the ground. I'm not a movie guy.
Starting point is 01:11:38 I know you're not a movie guy, but everybody's a John Wick guy. I understand. Everybody's a John Wick guy. I understand. If it was on Netflix, I would have watched it by now. Anyway, instead, I've just been watching more of that Phil Rosenthal and getting confused. Why are you doing that? I want to finish it.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Anyway, uh, I realized the other day that I spent a disordered amount of my time doing things that like, and watching things that I'm not interested in, which might be the theme of my life. Yeah. No, absolutely. Anyway, Jordan, in this next clip, we meet a guest. Okay. It is not that Texas legislator, but it is another guy.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Did the Texas legislators later show up though? Period. He comes in later. Okay. Okay. Good. But before we meet him, we meet a Montana legislator. And this guy.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Do they have legislators? Yeah. They got a few. This guy learning about this man was so exciting because he is a player in a couple of stories that I've told you in the past that I didn't realize he was a piece of... They are all fucking connected. God damn it. This is fucking amazing.
Starting point is 01:12:42 The connections that come from this guy. All right. And we'll get to it in just one second. All right. It is just off the charts. What is happening? Representative Joel Bonick Montana was going to be on it about five minutes. He called him a little bit early, so we're going to go ahead and go to him.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Now, Montana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Wyoming, a bunch of other states are moving out of past laws that are defending the Second Amendment declaring state sovereignty. Representative, thank you for calling in. Thank you. It's good to be with you. Do you know anything about Joel Bonick? Yeah. What do you know?
Starting point is 01:13:17 Tons. What do you know about this... Oh, he is from Montana. He was elected to be a state legislator. Right. I would say probably right around 1998. That was when the massive red wave in Montana happened. Sure.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Definitely not whenever it was started. I don't know anything about it. Okay. Well, I'll tell you a little bit about him. Don't pull your fucking... You just leaned back in your chair like you were fucking stoked about yourself. I'm so excited. Disappointed in you.
Starting point is 01:13:51 This guy is pretty amazing. Okay. The interview is a zero. The interview is a zero. All right. But he's lived a fucking life. This guy. We've been over this so many times in terms of the people who are putting forth these
Starting point is 01:14:05 house resolutions that end up going nowhere. Right. And so... Hold on. Let me ask you a question. And I know this is going to be wild because I genuinely don't know the answer. White dude? Oh, big time.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yeah. Okay. As they say in the streets, he's mighty white. So it's interesting. This guy has a bit of a career of trouble. Okay. In 2010, Joel Bonick was found guilty of corruption and banned from participating in future elections and ordered to pay fines of over $54,000.
Starting point is 01:14:42 All right. For some behaviors. Now, you might be asking... So was Lula in Brazil and that was all trumped up bullshit. Come on. You might be asking what some of these behaviors were. I would be interested to know. I'd like to read to you from a Bozeman Daily Chronicle article.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Quote. Do they have newspapers out there? You are such a bigot against flyover country. You're such a coastal elitist. Quote. A Montana district court judge on Friday found a former lawmaker from Livingston guilty of corruption and banned him from future elections. Great Fall District Court Judge Gregory Pinsky ruled that former Representative Joel Bonick,
Starting point is 01:15:21 Republican from Livingston, failed to disclose $9,060 in contributions from Western Tradition Partnership, a conservative nonprofit corporation which conducted a direct mail campaign in support of Bonick's 2010 House District 61 primary election bid. The judge said that in exchange for the appearance of a grassroots campaign, Bonick promised, quote, unswerving fealty to the corporations carrying out the direct mail campaign. Unswerving fealty? Complete opposition to union bosses, 100% in favor of your gun owners rights, 100% pro life stance, and 100% opposition to radical environmentalists.
Starting point is 01:15:59 But that's just standard Republican stuff. That's not even, like you didn't even, you don't have to swear fealty to that. They already knew you believed that shit. This is going to get so much weirder. This is so weird. You were writing a note down, so I want to let you get a question out if you have one. The only thing I wrote down was $10,000? How quaint.
Starting point is 01:16:20 How quaint. Hold on to that thought. That's beautiful. Hold on to that thought. Imagine if corruption only equated to $10,000 these days. Good stuff. Hold on to that thought because it comes back. So when asked to respond to these allegations, he said, quote, they don't like Joe Bonick,
Starting point is 01:16:36 and this is how they're beating him up. He said in the third person. He said that in the third person. Oh yeah. All right. Well, then fuck this guy. I'm a conservative and I'm a champion. He called the judge a fraud with a political agenda and said he had no plans to appeal
Starting point is 01:16:49 the Supreme Court. Admiralty law. He had no plans to appeal to the Supreme Court because they're also corrupt. Okay. My carefully reasoned legal arguments were called Jabberwocky by Pinsky, Bonick said. Quote, they treat me like an enemy of the state because their agenda is socialism. I don't fear them anymore. I'm a political dissident.
Starting point is 01:17:08 You don't get attacked by the system unless you stand against their injustice. I have the courage and I speak for the little people that are powerless. I'm a servant of God. I'm in his protection. I stand on my integrity. That's all a quote? Oh yeah. From one thing?
Starting point is 01:17:23 One very defensive man. Man. One very, very defensive state representative. That's a, that's a, that's a Shakespearean level quote right there. So I need to, I need to tell you that this, this story goes. What that there's trouble in Denmark? Oh, there is. There is trouble in Denmark.
Starting point is 01:17:39 So it seems pretty clear that Joel Bonick is an asshole from that quote. Yeah. And from the court case, it seems pretty clear that he accepted illegal campaign funds from the Western tradition partnership, but that is not where this story ends. In 2012, pro-publica came out with an expose about the WTP, the Western tradition partnership that is downright, that is downright surreal. And I quote, the box is landed in the office of a Montana investigator in March, 2011. Found in a meth house in Colorado.
Starting point is 01:18:11 They were somewhat of a mystery holding files on 23 conservative candidates in state races in Montana. They were filled with candidate surveys and mailers that said they were paid for by the campaigns and flyers and bank records from outside spending groups. One folder was labeled quote Montana money bomb. The documents pointed to one outside group pulling the candidate strings, a social welfare nonprofit called Western tradition partnership or the WTP. So are you tracking what's going on here?
Starting point is 01:18:39 There's a money bomb. And apparently the WTP is keeping records on all of these conservative politicians in order to eventually later on influence them by having too much information about them and their voter base. I think they already have the influence based on the sort of arrangement that they've worked out with them. They just accidentally, there's a box of evidence. Wait.
Starting point is 01:19:03 So they accidentally mailed it to somebody? It didn't get mailed. But it is in a meth house. So that is weird. Okay. Yeah. Are you curious? Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:15 How did WTP documents wind up in a meth house? So before we get to that, the issue here legally speaking is that while groups like the WTP are allowed to give money to campaign, it's against the law for them to coordinate with campaigns or candidates. Many, many investigators and experts who looked at the documents recovered from this meth house say that it is a very easy conclusion to come to the WTP was essentially pulling the strings of various state legislature campaigns in Montana and Colorado at least. So quote, the group is now locked in an ongoing dispute with Montana authorities who ruled
Starting point is 01:19:49 in October 2010 that the nonprofit should have registered as a political committee and should have to disclose its donors WTP sued a hearing is set for March. In the meantime, the group has challenged has changed its name to American tradition partnership. Yeah, you know me. Reflecting these larger ambitions. ATB. This month, it's that Rafa played on that tour for a while, I believe this month.
Starting point is 01:20:11 It sent Montana voters a mailer in the form of a newsletter called the Montana statesmen that claim to be the state's quote, largest and most trusted news source. The front page accused the Democratic gubernatorial candidate of being soft on sex offenders. So they've shifted so they just they were just like, Oh, that's not going to work. We're going to change our names to this. And then we're going to pretend to be a news organization newspaper with sound Montana statesmen sounds like a newspaper. Can you just can you just lie like that?
Starting point is 01:20:42 I feel like you can't just lie like that. Right. You can just lie like that. Like you can just send everybody everybody in Chicago. If I want, if I had enough money, I could send them a newspaper and say it was the most trusted news source in Chicago, every fight, the fact that it's never existed before. Every single comedy show says that the best show in Chicago. So I mean, fair enough, you know, you're not you're not wrong.
Starting point is 01:21:06 I want to spoil this for you a little bit. It's just going to make you more mad. This ended up going to the Supreme Court and they won. Did they win five, four, baby? God damn it. Fucking Scalia. They ended up ruling that yeah, because it was before he died. It was fucking Scalia.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Wasn't it? Yeah, he was. I want to kill him again. It was still the Roberts Court. Take him up and then burn him again. Have the Illuminati kill him again. Yes. It was an issue where they were like, no, it would infringe on this company's free speech
Starting point is 01:21:37 to not be able to give unlimited money and like pretend that they're not actually influencing the campaign. Citizens United was the best ruling in history. You might be asking, because this is, you know, 2010 stuff, you might be asking, what does this have specifically to do with Bonnick? Quote, the documents cited the group's success in 2008, saying in confidential grassroots membership development, saying in a confidential grassroots membership development proposal that 28 Montana state legislatures quote wrote into office in 100% support of WTP's responsible
Starting point is 01:22:14 development agenda. Yeah, you know me. Joel Bonnick was first elected to the Montana House of Representatives in 2008, where he weirdly raised $9,060. It was a real grassroots campaign for his campaign efforts, all small donors in a race where he was running on a post. That's always going to be a little bit suspicious if you're running on a post and someone just gives you about 10 grand, something fishy is up, generally speaking.
Starting point is 01:22:55 So they clearly were. What was that for? TV ads? So they, well, but that's, that's one of the reasons why it's important for me to like, we got to hook this story backwards, because in 2009, he's on Alex's show and you could be telling yourself like, Oh fuck, this happened later in his career. He got corrupt later. No, no, that's why he's in office in the first place.
Starting point is 01:23:14 No, he was in bed with this WTP from the jump and he was purchased. He was bought for 10 grand and that seems way too low to be able to buy somebody. It seems like it. You should be, look, I want to make a lot of other money through other side hustle. I'm, I'm fine with selling influence and shit. I don't want to be corrupt, but there's a number, you know, there's probably a number for me. I would corrupt myself for some number.
Starting point is 01:23:43 I just hope it's high enough to feel justifiable 10 grand too low. I want to be corrupt. Yeah. And then that, I mean, I want to do an album with Dazz Dillinger. All right. Fourth and fifth rep reference. No, no, no. Anyway, Jordan, no, we're going to take those away from you.
Starting point is 01:23:58 This story is so Supreme Court has ruled four, four against you. Tie is pushed. So this story is so fucking weird, man. Yeah. So here's what happened. A felon found the documents in a meth house, right? And asked around at the meth house and no one really knew where they came from. So eventually he gets to talking to somebody and they say that they think that they were
Starting point is 01:24:18 found in a car that someone had stolen. So someone stole a car. Someone stole the WTP's car. Yeah. Accidentally found a treasure trove of documents proving massive corruption on a statewide scale and a felon was just wandering around a meth house. Right. And they were like, Hey, is my civic duty to solve this problem?
Starting point is 01:24:43 No, no, no. I actually think that they were getting a little bit creative and I like this. Okay. So what the dude did is he was looking through the documents and he contacted the Democratic people who were being smeared by the WTP. So then he was trying to run his own scam. Well, no, I don't. Not scam.
Starting point is 01:24:58 I don't think he was trying to distort them or anything. No, no, no. Hey, you might want to know that. Finders fee. Finders fee. Come on. That's not in the story. Give me a finder's fee.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Pro Publica did not go over the. I want a finder's fee. So if I'm in a meth house and I find a massive corruption document trove, I'm going to ask for a finder's fee. You should at least get a little. You should get a big $8,950. So he sends it to one of the Democratic people who was the target of these people's campaigns and they're like, that's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:25:28 And so they just send it to the Minnesota investing or the Montana investigators who already had an open case about them investigating it. And so that it came to light all of this like rampant corruption. And then of course it gets escalated and it ends up getting appealed to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court's like, hey, who cares? That needs to be a documentary, right? It's that's a whole story. That's a whole story.
Starting point is 01:25:52 Yeah. And there's details that I've even left out in terms of like, who was the guy who might have stolen the car? I know. Whose car was it? Whose car was it? There are a lot of the car stolen or was the guy's car left at the madhouse? There's a lot of the madhouse because that guy was doing that.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Well, a lot of it is kind of vague and I can't really parse what it is. And that's why I leave those parts of the story out. There's more to it if you want to go read the full pro-publica story and like try and put the pieces of the puzzle together yourself. But if you want more information as to why Brett Kavanaugh should never be allowed to be seated as a Supreme Court justice. Let's just go with this bullshit story of what Scalia's brought upon humanity. Jordan, I have to talk more about Joel Bonnick.
Starting point is 01:26:35 I'm not nearly done. How are you not nearly done? Joel Bonnick is also friends with the sovereign citizen guy. We talked about in the past. He's come to his defense on a couple of occasions. He's the guy who I've talked about before. He is famous for wearing a Tri-Corner hat and a Bolo tie in court. Oh, it's this guy.
Starting point is 01:26:52 He's the guy who repeatedly called himself the living man and accused the judge of not being qualified and under the sway of the Jolly Roger. This is the guy who when the judge leaves the court because she's so frustrated with him. He's like, the judge has left the chambers. This case is dismissed and leaves and goes out to his car and then gets slapped with another contempt of court charge. He's a weird guy. So he gets charged with the contempt of court for leaving when he had no reason to leave.
Starting point is 01:27:16 You would have expected so. And in his return appearance, he wouldn't stop interrupting the judge to the point where he had to be handcuffed and taken into the observation room for the rest of the trial. I love it. Before he left, he shamed the prosecuting attorney for being an agent of the British because he was a lawyer. It sounds right. I don't know if you know this.
Starting point is 01:27:33 I believe he called him a solicitor, sir. No, sovereign citizens believe that some lawyers, because they use the honorific title Esquire, that means that they are British nobility. Because Esquire originally was a title under British nobility that and part of their understanding of the Constitution is, is that the federal government can give no nobility titles to anybody. And even though Esquire is not a formal title for lawyers, sometimes they take it on this weird tradition that no one really knows exactly why they do it.
Starting point is 01:28:09 And so sovereign citizens hate lawyers because they think they work for the British. Now, it's amazing. And this guy, Joel, on the whole, I think literacy is a good thing. There are times, however, where that belief is tested because what if this guy couldn't read? Maybe we'd all be better off. Well, no, he has big binders full of things. Now that's the problem here.
Starting point is 01:28:35 I don't want him to be able to read words. If he was, if he was only capable of like signing his ex whenever he was prosecuted for being a dis, like designs, little drawings. You know what? I think I'm fine with that. Here's what I want. I'm saying that let's go back in time and just destroy the Gutenberg press. Well, Alex would be mad about that.
Starting point is 01:28:54 I don't want people to be able to read. I want people finish my sense. Whoever's, whoever's listening at it, at it point. I want people to be able to read. Well, that's what I want. I don't like, if you are able to just read a sentence, I mean, that's good. That's a starting point, but if you can't understand what you are reading, you end up being a sovereign citizen.
Starting point is 01:29:19 You might as well not be able to read in the first place. Exactly. It's a waste of literacy. Yeah. So now we're not done. Ooh, that's a great insult. You're a waste of literacy. I like it.
Starting point is 01:29:28 So Joel Bonac is a complete lunatic quote. Bonac is no stranger to courtroom fracases. He was hauled into court. That's not a sentence I want ever associated with me ever. Wait for it. I want to be, I want to be a stranger to courtroom fracases. Wait for it. He was hauled into court last year to answer charges that he'd sped through a
Starting point is 01:29:47 roadblock in defiance of an officer's order to keep out. Bonac was trying to get to his house, but his house was in an area where a forest fire was burning and had been evacuated and blocked off due to the emergency. Yup. As a devoted tea partier and general wing, general wing, general wing nut. Bonac did not recognize the authority of the policeman to keep him away from his private property.
Starting point is 01:30:07 Also during his encounter with the officer before he crashed the barrier, Bonac allegedly reached for a gun that he had with him in the front seat. For his day in court, Bonac brought with him an angry mob of supporters who shouted down the judge and prosecutor in such a menacing way that they fled the courtroom, fearing for their safety. At that point. Wait, what? At that point, Bonac stood up and proclaimed himself regent over the
Starting point is 01:30:28 courtroom. What? And decreed. Wait, what? Hold on. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.
Starting point is 01:30:36 No. What? He's declared himself king of the court. I'm the regent of the courtroom. He's declared himself king of the court. I've seen video of this, but I didn't know it was this guy. It's amazing. Okay.
Starting point is 01:30:46 All right. So he declared himself regent of the courtroom and decreed himself innocent of all the charges and then in parentheses before the bailiff told him otherwise while brandishing his own weapon. Before the bailiff didn't run. The bailiff told him otherwise. The bailiff was like, get down and then pulled out of his gun. It's such an understatement.
Starting point is 01:31:05 I love the bailiff told him otherwise as opposed to the bailiff being like, fucking dude, I'm here all day. Yeah. I hate by the hour. Yeah. Come on, man. So not surprisingly, Bonac was found guilty and given a fine of just. What?
Starting point is 01:31:21 But he was king of the court. He's given a fee of a fine of just over $1,000, which is about what he got from the WTP and he got a suspended sentence of 10 days in jail, which he didn't end up having to serve, which I think is like, I mean, I get like that kind of crazy. If you see that video, I wasn't able to find it again, but I have seen that video and the fact that he created it is pretty amazing. I don't think that a judge and prosecutor should have to flee for
Starting point is 01:31:46 their safety in a courtroom, but. I got killed, murdered by the cops for selling cigarettes. Jordan, don't. And this guy. Don't bring that in. 10 days. Oh, fucking. No, you're right.
Starting point is 01:32:02 But don't bring that into it. No, I know. This is fun. He actually stands up on a table when he declares himself the regent. God damn it. He's up there like, like, God damn it. Like he's a little boy who just won a basketball tournament. A hard yes.
Starting point is 01:32:14 There's a bunch of like his angry mob cheering him on in the courtroom. It's bananas. Hard yes. Like genocide now. Like, no, but these sovereign citizen folk, man. And, and like, I know that like. I know from all his language and I'm the regent of this court and all this stuff, he believes in sovereign citizen citizenship.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Oh, oh, yeah. Much like his friend, the living human who, uh, the living man who wears Bolo ties right to the best, the hardest laugh that I've had probably in the last few weeks. I was watching the videos of the living man. And that should be a horror movie when he has to be the slender man sequel, not a real thing that happened when he has to come back to court and the time he ends up getting handcuffed and taken away
Starting point is 01:33:00 because he won't stop interrupting. Right. He's sitting there and the bailiffs are trying to get him to stand up and he's like, I cannot stand up because if I do, I recognize your authority. So he's like, you must pick me up. So they pick him up and they handcuffed him. They're all, they don't rough him up.
Starting point is 01:33:14 They're very nice with him. And then as they're about to take him out, he's like, I would like you to give my Bolo tie to a friend of mine for safekeeping. I lost my shit. I'm so glad he called out the Bolo. At least, at least he's a man who knows what's important. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Jesus Christ. He's fucking people. They're wild. Oh, so Joe, Joe, Joe Bonac kill him. That I love it. Whenever we get a guest that pops up like I can really sink my teeth and you like that, where is he now me? Joe Bonac.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Yeah. I mean, he didn't get reelected. He was against the law for a while. He tried to run for like lieutenant governor in 2010 because the sentence didn't come down until 2012. Well, he can't run for office anymore. Of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:02 But X post facto can't pro can't prosecute me in advance, but he lost. Yeah. So he's out of public service. He is. I don't think he's dead. He's back into private crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:14 He's out of public crazy. So at this point, Alex has now had this weirdo on and he's like, fuck, that was a fresh weirdo. Yeah. Now we got to get a familiar weirdo on. And so he brings on Ted Anderson and this is nuts because I think Alex is in a bad mood. Ted Anderson from Genesis communications.
Starting point is 01:34:33 No, no, Ted Anderson interview is nuts because these are all very predictable for the most part. It's just people selling gold. The second half of this interview is very predictable. Okay. It's the gold part. Right. But generally when Ted comes on, it's all business because
Starting point is 01:34:48 it's commercial. That's why he's there. Right. But in this case, Alex is in like, I don't know what's going on with him exactly, but he's in a bad fucking mood. And so he just freaks out at Ted for a while, which is kind of fun. Weird.
Starting point is 01:34:59 Well, it's kind of like, I can't do this to a lot of my guests and I know you're a pushover and you know that I sell all your gold. So I'm going to yell at you for a little while. Right. I'm not going to be mad at you, but I'm going to yell at you and it's not going to be fun. He's venting.
Starting point is 01:35:12 Yeah. Yeah. We got a bunch of dirt bags, Soviet touch scum, the people that funded the Bolsheviks and the Nazis running things. They want to do what they did over there here. They want to call our butt, Ted. Yep. And you take away the guns of the people and then you gain
Starting point is 01:35:27 full control. I mean, that's, you know, that's where you're ready for the conversation. I've got the Australian news crew here where they had their guns confiscated. I mean, you know, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Ted. I mean, they're arresting, they're arresting the people
Starting point is 01:35:40 that are using guns to defend themselves in England. And, uh, and, uh, letting the criminals out of jail. I mean, that's what's going on over there. That's what that kind of law would do here. I mean, we need to have our weapons. They want to set the precedent that citizens cannot protect themselves better people. Ted, if somebody bashes a vase over someone's head when
Starting point is 01:36:00 they're raping them, they arrest the woman that it's not. They don't want you defending themselves. Look, if criminals ran government, they would pass laws where good people couldn't defend themselves from criminals because the low level criminals are their brother and Ted, I have mainstream articles. What if the higher levels are hiring aggravated felons? The government is criminal.
Starting point is 01:36:22 Period. What more do you have to see? I'm sorry, Ted. Stay there. Let's come back. Tell them about the gold prices. I can't even take pleasure in the fact. We've been right about the gold and all of our list of gold
Starting point is 01:36:36 are making huge profits. I can't even enjoy anything. I can't enjoy anything anymore. All I do is worry about my children and this country and there's all these stupid yuppies calling me a conspiracy theorist while the whole world goes to hell in a hen basket. We'll be right back. Stay with us.
Starting point is 01:36:52 Transmission continues. I think that might be one of the commercial breaks where he ended up throwing a chair or something like that. Yeah, that sounded real rage. Yeah, he's real mad. I can't even enjoy my sales pitch, Dan. I can't even enjoy it. That's it.
Starting point is 01:37:10 They're ruining my day. We hate doing this, but this is an instance of like you got to you got to give it up to Alex a tiny bit in terms of like he's not lying about gold prices. He's lying a little bit. He says that they're over a thousand dollars and I think they might have been up over a thousand dollars for a little bit during the day.
Starting point is 01:37:32 But I have all the graphs here in front of me and in February 2009, it was like at nine fifty or so and that might be a small distinction, but it's not because it never reached a thousand until like September, like as a stable price. It might have fluctuated throughout the day. Like we peaked there, but where it settled, like in terms of a closing price was not that until September. Now, so had you bought gold in February and then sold it in
Starting point is 01:37:58 September, even if you had bought it from GCN, right? You might have made money. Well, you would have been fleeced because of their like service charges and shit like that. That's what I'm saying. Even from them, you might still have made money. Here's where we have to talk about the logistics of gold for a second, which I still don't understand.
Starting point is 01:38:16 Well, but here's the thing. If you're not, do they mail you coins? No, because they hang on to it, right? Often. Yes. That's crazy. I believe that there's different arrangements you can have. But yeah, generally, they do have like lockers that they
Starting point is 01:38:29 keep it in crazy. When we're looking at this, this increase of gold, it ended up peaking in September of 2011 at about 850 an ounce. And so if you'd bought it when Alex is selling it down there at like 800, 900 an ounce and it gets up there, then you've made $900 from that ounce over two years, which isn't terrible. But at the same time, if you're going to drop that money, you have to have money.
Starting point is 01:38:58 You know what I mean? Like, yes, you're getting a 100% return over it that ended up falling after that to the point where it's at like 1200 now after it stabilized a little bit. But like, you would have made $900 on this investment if you cashed out in September of 2011 off of a $900 investment. Right. If you're not buying in bulk.
Starting point is 01:39:20 That's a great investment then. It is, but if you're not buying in bulk, that's not a meaningful transaction over two years. No. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like it's not really meaningful in any way to the consumers that are probably listening to his show.
Starting point is 01:39:34 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like I know that I'm saying I wouldn't put my IRA into it. Well, I'm telling you that gold is rising and they're not lying about that. Right. One of the things that they are kind of lying about is if that means anything to you.
Starting point is 01:39:47 Oh, yeah. It costs a lot to get into the game to buy any meaningful amount of it because like, you know, whatever money you have around like, let's say you have $300 to invest in gold, you buy $300 you get like at this point in time, a third of an ounce of gold and then two years later, it's worth $600. Is that really life changing? Even though the price has gone up double?
Starting point is 01:40:12 It's not really. No. You have to buy a lot of it for that to make a difference. Right. So he's still screwing over these people who are buying little bits. Well, yeah, I mean, but I still turn 20 bucks into 40. I'm never, I'm never going to understand the gold commodities
Starting point is 01:40:32 market, Dan. No matter how many times you explain it to me, I'm still going to get stuck on like, it's for very, very rich coins from a sunken treasure ship. I really don't understand it. It's not doubloons. I'm never going to understand how it makes any sense. It's very weird.
Starting point is 01:40:50 It's, I mean, it's a, it's sort of the thing for, you know, traders, maybe on like a gold futures or something like that. Like, yeah, I'd like, if somehow I understand Bitcoin and I do not understand this, Well, maybe we could spend a day sometime. I have a picnic and we could explain those to each other because I don't understand Bitcoin. Okay.
Starting point is 01:41:10 But so that, that's one piece that I think that we've been remiss in talking about is like, for this to mean anything, the price of it. You have to be a massive investor. The point of entry is very difficult for folks. It makes sense if you're a billionaire and it doesn't make any goddamn sense if you're just a person who's buying gold coins. Right.
Starting point is 01:41:27 And none of his listeners are billionaires. Exactly. So they are the people who are getting screwed over and Ted is just the vampirically sucking off of them. Exactly. But at the same time, like it's, it's pretty similar to a stock that's already expensive. Like even if let's say,
Starting point is 01:41:43 Apple just became the first trillion dollar corporation and even if you had bought stock, when it was 500 billion a share, 10 years ago, would never be 500 billion a share. You would still, you would have to be a massive investor to make enough money off of them being a trillion dollar company now in order for it to make any sense for you to do so in the first
Starting point is 01:42:03 point. The point of meaningful entry is inaccessible to most of Alex's listeners and the funnel, the conduit with which they could get in is a shady business called Midas Resources. Right. So they're screwed on both ends. And now the third thing that I want to bring up, I think it's a third is that this is exactly what you would expect to see.
Starting point is 01:42:23 This track upward of gold. Yeah. It's absolutely what you would expect to see after a financial crash. Right. You know, after that people are panicking a little bit, gold prices obviously would rise. And because gold prices are just fucking gold prices that seem
Starting point is 01:42:38 almost untethered to the other commodities markets that you see. Well, we've talked about this as it relates to gold. A lot of times the price and those sorts of things with commodities are based on scarcity. And some of that scarcity can be a little bit artificial. So the idea that Alex always is talking about how it's really hard to get a gun. Well, it's not because the government doesn't want you to
Starting point is 01:42:59 have a gun. It's because all you're creating all this fear and everyone's going and buying guns. Yeah, fever pitch. Yeah. And then there's no more guns to buy. And that scarcity is why Venezuela has a 1 million percent inflation rate right now is because OPEC and other oil producers
Starting point is 01:43:17 have artificially deflated the prices. I get it. But that one also has to do with the Dutch disease. But I don't want to get too deep into that because we've already talked about that. Oh, you mean Sybilis? Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:28 But what he's doing, whether or not it's all of his listeners and it's not just him. There's all these gold bug assholes out there who have their own cottage industries. Yeah. They are the people who are pushing this gold when there is fear and when there's anxiety. So what they do is they end up having a lot of people who are
Starting point is 01:43:49 buying gold and that makes the price of gold to go up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like so in the same way that they're artificially creating this pretend scarcity of guns, they are feeding into the scarcity of gold that ends up raising the price of gold. It's kind of a self perpetuating cycle. No, I get that.
Starting point is 01:44:08 That only ends up hurting the customers of Midas Resources. I just don't. So, so let me get this, let me get this really, really straight like down from the very bottom. Okay. Gold is expensive because it's shiny. Well, and because of its many uses and like electronics and there are a bunch of like cables and stuff like that that
Starting point is 01:44:31 specifically need gold. Okay. There are a lot of there are a lot of very specific uses for gold as like a semiconductor and shit like that. So there are like functional reasons that gold has like an intrinsic value, but then the other reason is just because of this idea that it's been valuable for a long time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:51 In the same way with diamonds and stuff like that, even though diamonds have a like a functional use too. Yeah, they're really sharp. Well, there's that. I know about the hustler scale. But they're all yeah. So there are like functional uses, but that's not the primary driver of the price.
Starting point is 01:45:09 That's what I'm saying. It is that there are like it comes from a million years ago whenever it was like this is shiny and it was hard and there's not a ton of this. It's been traditionally hard to get. Yeah. And then once it became easier to get it was hard to get for you and I, but the companies who could get it controlled the
Starting point is 01:45:27 supply right in order to raise demand. Does everybody kind of know that our economy is built on magic? I think that I think everyone should suspect that. Does it? Everybody kind of gets the idea that our economy is just like smoke and mirrors. And if everybody just realized that like a refrigerator was more valuable than gold, we would lose our minds.
Starting point is 01:45:49 Yeah, be crazy. Yeah. I remember one like foundational moment for me was when I was in probably like my freshman junior freshman sophomore year of college. My buddy, my buddy John found out that his dad owned like a ton of land. And it was usable land.
Starting point is 01:46:09 And the government paid him not to grow things there because if they did grow things there, it could hurt the supply. It would inflate the supply. Yeah. And like corn prices would end up going down. Yeah. And so in order to offset that, the government pays a lot of people who have land to not do anything with it.
Starting point is 01:46:27 And so he had this plot of land where there was just a shack out there and we would go and get drunk and have bonfires and stuff like that. And that was the price. Oh, and I guess his dad would go like maybe kill a deer every now and again out there. Maybe what are you? What are you a loser?
Starting point is 01:46:43 Yeah, but that that to me was always like, oh, I had no like because of the family that I come from. I have I had no access to that idea that that was a part of the price modifying price stabilizing mechanism that goes into just the food we eat. Yeah. And if you extrapolate that out to gold diamonds, any of these commodities and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:47:04 Obviously, there are people who are manipulating everything, but it's not an evil manipulation. It's a stabilizing manipulation. It's that I think that I think that that is an important line to draw because any manipulation could be seen as suspect. No, I get that. But at the same time, even that manipulation is a tacit acknowledgement
Starting point is 01:47:24 of the meaninglessness of the entire system. True. It's a weird. We are doing this because we know that if you know that this all means nothing, shit would get wild. Right. But why do you do assignments in high school? Like, you know, like, why do you do that's what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:47:43 Right? I mean, I'm I'm saying I look, I'm not putting you on trial Dan. I'm putting the whole system on trial 90% of the things that are done in mainstream society are pointless. Yeah, that's all it's all imaginary. But you do it. We all live in such a weird imaginary world.
Starting point is 01:47:57 But we do it because it maintains the status quo in a pleasurable way for everyone. You know what I mean? Well, ideally, ideally, you hope that's what social progress is about. Yeah. Getting to the point where it is pleasurable for everyone or comfortable for everyone or not.
Starting point is 01:48:14 The concept of not abusive for everyone. You hope to get to that point with the the illusions of society that we all agree just to live in. Yeah, because whatever. Yeah, I don't think any of this makes sense. But where is Steve from Chicago at now? Oh man, he's probably in the self suburbs. You think he's Orlin Park?
Starting point is 01:48:33 Yeah, probably. I think I've been to Orlin Park. I think he's Orlin Park. Oh, no, no. He's definitely Orlin Park. That was in my head, but I couldn't come up with the name. Yeah, I think I might have met him. So local jokes means local work and local laughs.
Starting point is 01:48:52 Cut this out. 520 neon neps Jordan. We have now a very large story that Alex is going to get into. He has a big narrative. It's all bullshit, but here we go. And it is being reported in the Daily Times, Harold and Carol Iowa. I want to pause and I'll tell you why this is so important
Starting point is 01:49:15 and so different. I want to pause just real quick because I don't know if you've heard, but Alex keeps going like, yeah, I don't know why he's doing that. I've tried to track through the episode. If it's a nervous tick, some sort. I think he just has something in his throat. You think he's just got you think he's just playing his
Starting point is 01:49:30 Michael Jordan flu game. Like he's still bringing it. Yeah. Even though his, his, his skill level isn't at the level that it should be. I mean, he's working 16 and a half hours a day, not including not including transit time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:42 And so that probably is maybe he has something going on. Maybe he's, he's fighting cold or something like that. What do you think his transit time is 45 minutes each way? I actually probably would be able to find out exactly. I know his address and I know where his studio is. Probably figure that out. All right. Well, we need to go back to Austin and we need to drive back
Starting point is 01:50:02 and forth because this claim is bullshit. No, I could just look at a map and figure it out. Yeah. I imagine he speeds. So anyway, from other operations, I'm going to start reading now guardsman to conduct and remember, they're not guardsmen now. They've been federalized in a Northcom.
Starting point is 01:50:18 So federal troops to conduct urban training at Arcadia in April. Listen carefully. The Carol National Guard unit will train on urban military operations by holding a four day exercise at Arcadia. The purpose of the April 2nd to 5th drill will be to gather intelligence, then search and apprehend a suspected weapons dealer. According to Sergeant Mike Knotts, readiness in CEO for Alpha
Starting point is 01:50:45 Company. Now remember in my film Road to Tyranny, I have a Marine Corps officer. He showed me all the documents. There's nothing to secretly was doing raids on gun dealers with the police in Virginia in Norfolk in the late 80s. This has been a covert plan. No, what?
Starting point is 01:51:02 And they go on the article that met this because of today's political climate in the U.S. This they're not even to say this is for overseas now. They are though, man. They are. I read this article that he's talking about and this is National Guard trains at Arcadia to find weapons dealer living really close to Alex Jones crossing the Rubicon.
Starting point is 01:51:23 Gonna solve all of our problems. Got to call the omnibudsman. Got to do it. He's in the barrio. Who else is there going on? So this is just another Jade Helm type thing. Yeah. What are the situation that he's lying about?
Starting point is 01:51:36 So the article is from this Daily Times Herald, probably, but he's actually reading from an article in WorldNet Daily. Even the WorldNet Daily article doesn't really back up his claims. So the National Guard is running a role playing operation where one person is inserted into a small town, in this case, Arcadia, Iowa, who's playing an illegal gun dealer, like an arms dealer.
Starting point is 01:51:59 So is he is he like a half orc? No, no, straight human. Straight human. It's not that kind of role playing. Okay. But like human role playing. Okay. But who's no cosplaying?
Starting point is 01:52:10 No, but who like, okay. So then give me a rundown of his skills and abilities and perhaps magic spells. Charisma is six. Charisma is six. That's a low charisma. He's a rogue. He's a rogue.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Rogues have high charisma. These are the only references I know. I don't play these games, although I wish I had a child. If you're going to run a car, look, a rogue is a conman. You got to have a high charisma for that. This is not necessarily a conman. It is an arms dealer. Okay.
Starting point is 01:52:36 It's a very blunt business as opposed to fair enough. So that means that his wisdom has to be pretty solid. Oh, I would assume so. Oh, yeah. So the guard is going to come into this town and whichever houses consent to be involved in the role play, but they might get a knock on the door and get pretend to search. The issue is that the Iowa National Guard needs to train,
Starting point is 01:52:55 but quote, there are no active duty bases in Iowa. So there are no urban warfare training centers of any size. Right. Lieutenant Colonel Greg Hopwood said, quote, in order to get that larger neighborhood feel or city feel, we have to be creative and partner with our communities. Yeah. So the way the role play would go is like, let's say we live there.
Starting point is 01:53:15 We say, no, we don't want to be involved. Right. Then we just get inconvenience a tiny bit while they're running around town doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:31 01:53:23,380 --> 01:53:24,780 They're fucking up traffic. Right. This is a, but it's also a city where the population is 400 something. Right. So like, So you know, traffic is going to be really fucked up if there's like 30 guys around. No, it's not because you can drive on the grass.
Starting point is 01:53:34 Hey, You don't need to go on the road. But where are they? Where are they driving? Just go around the roadblock on the grass. So do they each start with a hundred gold pieces or like 50 gold? A hundred gold pieces would be prohibitively expensive. Okay.
Starting point is 01:53:47 All right. That's thousands and thousands. All right. All right. But what are we talking about? Are we talking like a broadsword or Not in the mood. Not in the mood for RPG talk.
Starting point is 01:54:06 I'm not. I got no references, man. It's not my style of video game. I'm going to let it go. I just felt the need. I like Donkey Kong country. I just needed to take it to the point where you couldn't take it anymore. That's just all I needed.
Starting point is 01:54:18 I just needed it for my soul. Feels like that very often on the show. All right. Fair enough. Yeah. Don't get him. So this is fun. I would love this.
Starting point is 01:54:31 If that sounds like a tons of fun. Yeah. And I would be like, oh, fuck. Yeah, you can involve me in this. Yeah, absolutely. Because they very clearly point out to like the way it works is that like the people who are the guard officers who are coming into the town don't know who the person inserted is who's playing the arms dealer.
Starting point is 01:54:53 Yeah. And so they'll go to the houses that consent and they'll like knock on the door and they'll have a picture and they're like, you seen this guy? Yeah. What do you know about him and then pretend to search the house? Yeah. But like it's like a real game of murder. Right.
Starting point is 01:55:06 Yeah. It's like a whole fun party. It's like a it's like a where they like a parlor game, but there's like cops involved, but also the way that they run the searching of the homes. One of the things they're training for there is how to do that respectfully because when you're in wartime overseas and you're looking for a specific person, you might not treat that foreign citizen with the respect that they deserve.
Starting point is 01:55:30 So doing it with fellow citizens might be advantageous in some ways for you to learn how to do this safely and responsibly. So you treat people like people because you treat the people who look like you like people. I mean, I wish it was a training for treat people who don't look like 01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:46,880 I wish it wasn't like that, but yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:47 That's essentially what that is. Yeah. But then also if it is your first time searching a house, let's say when it's high stakes, you might really fuck up. Yeah. I would much rather people in America consent to a fake search of their house to train troops to not murder foreign citizens. Right.
Starting point is 01:56:07 You know, I don't think there's anything wrong with this and I mean all of the fears that Alex has certainly haven't been materialized in present day. Question. Do you have to quarter them as well? No. Okay. Well, then I am fine with it under the terms of the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:56:21 It's probably a Ramada in or something like that. Hmm. So Alex lies a little bit more about this situation here and I only keep this in mostly because he does a funny voice. But they're going to go to real people's houses and then it says they're going to ask them about their guns. This is it folks and they're going to spend 40 first. It was five then 10 now 40 something billion quote for the image of the
Starting point is 01:56:44 military in the US media and find me. I mean folks, it's 40 something billion just brainwashing everywhere. They're making a move. This happens in third world countries all the time. It's a military coup and they've got to acclimate us to accept it. So Jules will knock only in households that have agreed to participate in the drill not said I've been to the other drills and I've got it on video and police state to the takeover where local said, yeah, they came to our
Starting point is 01:57:10 door and told us not to talk to you that you're crazy. In fairness. If I were I would also be like, look, would you know what we're doing? That guy is trying to stir shit. That guy is totally no if this was trying to make a police state to documentary. He's going to create a scene. If this was happening, if this was happening in Austin, Alex would
Starting point is 01:57:33 totally have written. Oh, agreed. Please come search my house. Oh, just so we could just so we could do that. Yeah. And then pretend it was a real. So just absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:57:43 So also it doesn't say in that article at all that they're going to ask about whether or not you have guns. That's just him editorializing and completely making stuff. You know what bums me out is that again, we get into this place where I kind of agree with Alex. No, I know it's it's tough. It's so frustrating because yeah, look, I want to money on glamorizing the military is fucking weird.
Starting point is 01:58:03 I went to the idea that they pay all this money to have these things at football games. Exactly. I was at the Cubs game watching the game and they had this whole like this is your servicemen and everybody, everybody stood up and fucking standing ovation them and I'm like, fuck all of you. What are you fucking idiots doing? Do you not understand what the fuck is going on here?
Starting point is 01:58:24 This cost the military and then you a million dollars to advertise you loving how much we murder everybody all over the world. What are you fucking idiots doing? And nobody I agree with Alex. That's bullshit. It's insane. Right. But again, this is just the secondary point that you agree with him.
Starting point is 01:58:41 No, I know. I wish he weren't right when he's so wrong. Yeah, he has no business being right about things that don't matter when exactly about the things that do. Yeah. Well, yeah, something like that. That was the best I could do with that sentence. Anyway, we now get a new guest and I don't mean new in terms of like we
Starting point is 01:58:59 haven't seen him before. He's stolen a lot of gold from various boy apartheid. We got it. We got a sweet lander. No, I don't know. Not necessarily, but we had a Rhodesian. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:12 I want to bring up Bob Chapman. God damn it. The largest financial newsletters in the world. One of the largest private silver and gold brokers. So at this point, I'm like, wait, Ted's already been on the show when Alex screamed at him. What's going on here? Is Ted going to come back to complete the three-man game with Bob Chapman?
Starting point is 01:59:29 In 2009, I've never seen Ted and Bob not be a partial dealer. Right. They're always running the two-man game. Right. So I'm like, wait, Ted's already been on the show. This is weird. What are they going to get into? Is Ted still on hold?
Starting point is 01:59:41 No, he's not. Okay. I'm like, what the fuck are they going to get into? Because it is also, it is probably like half an hour later in the show. Yeah. Alex rambles a ton about that Iowa shit. And actually, spoiler alert, he ends up getting a guy from the Iowa National Guard on as a guest at the end of the show.
Starting point is 01:59:57 And the guy's like, I don't have any clips of it because the guy is just like that. No, no. I've been a member of the Iowa National Guard for 20-something years. I'm in public communications. I know what you're saying. It doesn't make sense. Hey, first off, Alex, do you know what a National Guard does?
Starting point is 02:00:19 And no, no, no. The bigger point that he makes that Alex can't argue with, but he keeps trying to is like he, and he said it in one of those last clips was that like the National Guard has now been federalized. And what this guy keeps pointing out is, well, yes. We exist as a federal entity when we are activated in that way. Like if the National Guard goes to war or if we are in some sort of defensive capability, yes, we become a federal entity.
Starting point is 02:00:46 Yeah. But other than that, 99% of the time we are under the direction of the governor of whatever state we are the National Guard of. So we're kind of like the state guard. Yeah. Yeah. But it and he keeps bringing that up and Alex has nowhere to go with it and it completely punctures all of his narratives.
Starting point is 02:01:04 Like the idea that these people are all just under the sway of the black man in federal power, which is really, which is essentially what it's coming down to that is most of the black president is going to make white people feel bad. Right. So he does this really, really fucking disappointing interview that I actually, I thought about cutting some clips from just to hear Alex go a bunch of times, but it wasn't worth it.
Starting point is 02:01:27 Like it really wasn't. Yeah. It was too boring and Alex was way too defensive, although I do wish I had this one last clip, like literally like right at the four hour mark, the end of the show, Alex, like he hears the exit music playing guy is still on the phone. I don't know how he hasn't hung up yet. It's been like 15 minutes.
Starting point is 02:01:45 He's having a great talking. No, he's not. He is not. He is very polite. He's polite. Yeah. He's a serviceman. And so at the end of it, Alex was like, well, you've been lied to and I'm sorry
Starting point is 02:01:55 that I'm sorry that I've talked to people up way higher in the chain of command than you, but hopefully one day you'll see the light. All right. Thanks for joining us. Replace starts now. Nicely done. Nicely done. Go after that's a dismount is what that is.
Starting point is 02:02:12 So, but at this point where we are in the show, Bob Chapman's in and Ted's already been on. So that's what's going on. What are they going to talk about? What are they going to talk about? We'll take Israel. There's no point in this. Netanyahu has now become the new prime minister of Israel and he's saying he's
Starting point is 02:02:27 going after Iran. Well, Netanyahu is a Nazi. They have a fascist state in Israel to be expected. He's a former. Well, probably still a CIA operative and work with them aside. So you can well expect that and the people of Israel realize, but you know, that's what they want. That's what they want.
Starting point is 02:02:49 But holy shit. Bob, Bob, did you actually did he accidentally get 40% of things? Right? Bob crazy, Bob. That's crazy nuts. Well, wow. I never really expected the, uh, the fiddleman to the, uh, the, uh, the gold sales guy, guy who's just sort of like, man, I'm playing background, trying to
Starting point is 02:03:09 give you credibility would come in with the harshest Netanyahu is a Nazi. Wow. That's bananas. Crazy. But I mean, at the same time, game recognized game, you know, when you're, when you're a part of a Nazi regime, you recognize when a, well, yeah, but multiple, yeah, you know, essentially gold. Essentially.
Starting point is 02:03:32 Yeah. You know, you know, when, you know, when a Nazi is in power. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you do, you do not not see the Nazi among you. Yeah. Yeah. That was the worst thing I've ever done.
Starting point is 02:03:43 You tried. You tried. I appreciate you recognizing that. Thank you. I'm not, I'm going to give that a wash. That's not a negative one. That's good. We'll go push.
Starting point is 02:03:50 Yeah. Um, so at this point, Alex makes what I can only describe as something that I'm so glad was an empty threat. I'm looking at the March 23rd, 1775. The war is inevitable. Patrick Henry speech and I'm going to know we've got all these guests on day. I've got to take time out to read the whole thing because in context,
Starting point is 02:04:12 it's just beautiful. I'm so glad he didn't end up doing that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What happened? It's too long. I know that he's better at reading in 2009 than he is in present day. But also, why would you call that the war is inevitable speech when it's
Starting point is 02:04:26 really the give me liberty to give me death speech? The war is the war is inevitable. But the is is now that's the end. That's called the war inevitable. No, that's how it ends. Right? No, the end is as give me liberty or give me death because the war and is it is inevitable?
Starting point is 02:04:42 No. No, I remember that speech, but give me liberty or give me death because the war is totally inevitable. He even said totally. That was a weird thing to say. He said totes. He said totes. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:54 No. Hashtag inevitable war. No, I'll give you. I'll read you the last paragraph. It's in vain, sir, to extenduate the matter. Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war has actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from north will bring our ears to the clash of
Starting point is 02:05:11 resounding arms or brethren may already be in the fields. Why, why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have if life is so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased purchase at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. But as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
Starting point is 02:05:32 God damn it. That's a good paragraph. It's not bad. It doesn't solid paragraph. It doesn't end with the war is inevitable. And also the title is the war inevitable sort of a poetic title. But be that as a man like all like look, he's not wrong. All I care about is that he didn't read at all.
Starting point is 02:05:49 No, I think I did a better job with that paragraph. Oh, I stumbled over a couple of words. You did fine. Yeah, you did good. So we'll give you two or three more read throughs and you'll fucking nail it. Yeah. This voiceover. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:59 Yeah. Oh, yeah. So now take it from the top. One more time. So now everything kind of comes full circle. Bob Chapman, the international forecaster dot com. Those can check the side out and send you an email and get a free complimentary copy that it's just invaluable information.
Starting point is 02:06:14 The international forecaster dot com. Thank you so much for coming on with us today. Thank you, Alex. See you next week. Bye bye. All right. Take care. There goes Bob Chapman.
Starting point is 02:06:24 I've never had to. I don't think on twice during one program. I'm going to spend about two minutes with him. I wanted to get him back on. Oh, I told you he was coming back on. Yep. I told you he was coming back on. I was honestly a little pissed that you predicted that.
Starting point is 02:06:37 Oh, of course. I know you were half joking. The two man game. It's a two man game. No, because he comes back and Bob is gone now. Right. But that's what I'm saying. They know the guy who has to make you afraid of everything needs to come on
Starting point is 02:06:49 before the guy who tells you what the solution to everything is. There is no doubt that Bob spent the last like minute and a half, two minutes of his appearance saying that the market is going to fucking collapse like crazy. For sure. Gold is going to be great and prices are amazing. Incredible. So all that did happen before that clip, but I think it's so it's nuts.
Starting point is 02:07:08 I've never heard that in my life. He brought Ted on to just yell at him for a little bit and like, fuck, we got to talk about gold price. I'm sorry. We'll do it after the break and then brings him back after they do the thing that they do all the time. Maybe Bob was at the fucking store. Maybe Bob didn't have the timing right.
Starting point is 02:07:28 And so Bob is trying to check out at at his local Kroger or maybe when they were supposed to do the two man act, that's when Joel Bonac called in. Oh, that could be because Joel Bonac called in five minutes early. Yeah, we do know that there's some that could have fucked up everything. That could have fucked up the timing. Yeah, there is some sort of like scheduling glitches here. That sounds like the most reasonable situation here is Bob was Bob was
Starting point is 02:07:52 sidelined and then first, whatever reason. I mean, what is this? Like if you if you consider that he doesn't have episodes on Saturday, this is probably the 45th episode that I've listened to from 2009 or so. And every time Bob Chapman is on, it's to set up Ted. Yeah. So the idea that they kind of fucked that game up a little bit on this one episode is a massive anomaly.
Starting point is 02:08:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do like that it came at the expense of just Alex yelling at Ted for a while. Just venting some of his like, I feel bad. Oh, Bob isn't here. Ted, Ted, I'm telling you this world is going to a hell in a handbasket. Ted, we are waiting for Bob to call in. Bob is not calling in. Ted, you are living in a world that is dominated by a piece of shit.
Starting point is 02:08:42 Ted, Ted, Bob Chapman is going. He's not called in yet. Ted, Bob texted me and said he's out of bouillon. Not gold bouillon needs beef stock. He's at the, he's at the Kroger shit. I'll be here soon. Why was Kroger the reference? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:08:58 Where did that come from? I don't know. It's a very popular chain. Is it? Yeah. So I mean, I know, but I'm just saying, why did I pull Kroger for no reason? Did we both? I, we both did.
Starting point is 02:09:10 Yeah, we both pulled Kroger. I gotta listen to the tape back. I guarantee, listen back to the tape. We both pulled Kroger. I'm going to freak out when I re-listen to this. Seriously. Cause I didn't hear you say Kroger and I thought it was weird. I know, right?
Starting point is 02:09:22 Yeah. It's insane for whatever reason. 2009. No Kroger in Chicago. No, I haven't seen a Kroger in 10 years. I have. I think my brother used to live in Columbus, Ohio. And when I, well yeah, but that's Kroger country.
Starting point is 02:09:38 Oh, totally. Yeah. Totally. I could have said snooks. It's a nice grocery chain out in central Missouri. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:47 Why not? How about a Jewel Osco? What about it? Yeah. What about him? Anyway, sponsor the show Jewel Osco. Oh, I'd love it. So, um, snooks.
Starting point is 02:09:58 We could, we could sell your double coupons. We, I would have said J and J peppers, but they are out of business. JJ Peppers. JJ Peppers. No, and in there. Sorry. I always feel like there should be an and anytime.
Starting point is 02:10:09 They did go out of business. They did go out of business. Hey, um, so this next clip, Jordan, there is another guest who is the Texas legislator who's still coming up. Yes. But Alex also throughout the show has been teasing that there's a surprise guest that he's hoping can come on. Okay.
Starting point is 02:10:27 Turns out that guy can't come on. All right. But he gets that guy's friend. Alex, I can come on. I'm still here. I've been on hold this entire goddamn show. Steve from Chicago has more to say. No, uh, this guy is a friend of the guest that Alex hoped to
Starting point is 02:10:42 get on, which is disappointing. He's a friend of the. Very disappointed. He's a friend of the guy. Okay. Alex tries to make it work though. And God bless him. We're going to get the fellow on from the seven seven ripple
Starting point is 02:10:54 effect who made the film, who mailed it out to a bunch of people and it mailed it to a jury. And you're looking at seven seven bombings and saying, look, you know, here's evidence that was an inside job and they arrested him in Ireland from and they've got some extradition order now from England. He was supposed to get out today, but he, uh, Anthony Hill has not been able to join us.
Starting point is 02:11:15 So Rob Freeman, good friends with him. What is happening right now? Good afternoon, Alex. It's nice to be with you. Is it as actually as we speak, um, Anthony John Hill has been released and he was, uh, allowed, uh, he was actually ransomed for the sum of 3,500 euros ransom. Again, this is for sending out a DVD.
Starting point is 02:11:41 Are you sure it's not just bail? Well, he was ransomed was a bale for sending out a DVD, but the issue is who he sent the DVD to a jury, a jury, that's probably illegal, isn't it? Who were, uh, uh, deciding a seven seven case and it was deemed jury tampering. Some kind of there's some, there's like a law that if while a jury's in deliberation, you can't influence them because
Starting point is 02:12:14 that would be some sort of like, also it's like a bad idea. Also really implies that you had to do some work to figure out who that jury was and find out how to contact them. He also sent one to the judge. All this is like, I mean, look sent one to the, that's just bad jury tampering, send DVDs wherever you want, but that's fucking just bad jury. But if you send it to those people, it's kind of it's real
Starting point is 02:12:37 adjacent to jury harassment. Yeah. What you got to do is you got to go to the trial. You got to find out what jurors kind of react with what facial expressions and then only send it to those jurors after doing a lot of research and finding out where they lived and then stalking them for you never send it to the judge. The judge isn't on your team.
Starting point is 02:12:55 Come on, man. They work for the Admiralty. That's just bad jury tampering. Right. I'm just, I'm not angry about the tampering. I'm angry about the incompetence. So this guy's friend, Anthony John Hill, he made this documentary called seven seven the ripple effect.
Starting point is 02:13:12 And what's interesting about that is that there's a group of seven seven bombing skeptics called the July 7th truth campaign who had this to say about his documentary quote. As far as I can see the materials in the ripple effect have been available for a good two years. So I'm curious as to why it's only now that this film has been released. They believe that the official account of the seven seven
Starting point is 02:13:32 bombing is full of holes, but they have an entire website cataloging the serious inconsistencies and irresponsible assumptions that Hill makes in his film. There's literally no way that he's in prison for revealing forbidden information. It's because he was jury tampering. So even the skeptics are like, you're wrong. Yep.
Starting point is 02:13:52 Even the people who you make us believe that we're wrong. That's how wrong you are. You give love a bad name. Yeah, on Jofi. Yeah, that's not right. So yeah, give myself another one for now. You cannot. I will actually give you a minus one for that one.
Starting point is 02:14:05 Now I would have left this out and said this is irrelevant for us to talk about because it's not even this guy. It's this guy's friend. Right. But there's two things. One this guy Hall who made the seven seven ripple effect. Right. And his other friend Oates.
Starting point is 02:14:24 You might remember the seven eight dance effect. Your bombing is on my list. Bad, bad, bad. Not a good riff. You got minus one. Yeah. I get my mind is to like back to back bad. Um, he is the guy who we've talked about in the past who
Starting point is 02:14:39 calls himself Muad D. Oh, he's this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Damn it. Yep. Oh, we talked about him a couple of episodes back this and we got into a goddamn Dune Dune confrontation.
Starting point is 02:14:53 This is that guy. Oh, man, this, this goes down a sand wormhole. I will tell you that right now. It does. So that's the first reason that I kept this in a second reason is this next clip. So everybody go get seven seven ripple effect on the web. They're trying to take it down on a lot of sites.
Starting point is 02:15:11 They're very much noticed because it proves exactly what they did and that's why they want to shut the web down. Well, and not only that, but you know it for people that don't know much about him. This is the same man who spent the last 10 years trying to raise the Ark of the Covenant in Ireland and knows the exact location of the entrance to the subterranean mergue that down to a six foot by six foot square of grass and they're not
Starting point is 02:15:44 about to let him dig it because they know that it's there and they know that he would be the one to bring it up. Well, the British Lords do and then the Queen and all them do claim that they have that. I don't know if that's true, but I know he's also been a lot of research on that very, very interesting. Well, we want to get him on. Good save, Alex.
Starting point is 02:16:01 Good, good fast talking there to cover up that he just said. Well, the real reason they want to keep him in prison and keep him down is because he knows where the fucking Ark of the Covenant is on a six by six basis and he also knows where the subterranean entrance to the murgate. The murgate. I don't know what that means. I am going to say this right now.
Starting point is 02:16:21 Yeah, that was the best job Alex has ever done of pivoting ever pivoting ever that was incredible sounds interesting. I know the Queen and the engaged with that none at all. And I barely noticed. I barely noticed like if we hadn't been watching this show for a long if we hadn't been listening to the Queen if we hadn't been listening to this for the whole time I would have been like, oh, yeah, you know, the Queen probably knows where
Starting point is 02:16:45 the murgate is and never realized that he just pivoted away with no engagement whatsoever. That guy just said Ark of the Covenant and Alex Jones at no point went. Well, that's the project Camelot equivalent of Steve from Chicago. So yeah, it's a black power grab. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:03 Yeah. He's like, uh, good night. But he's but that's what I'm saying. He did not panic at all. This is does because he doesn't cut it off immediately. He panics for a second. That's true. He regroups.
Starting point is 02:17:16 It's much like Jack in the first episode. Yeah, you watch. Yeah. Or it's like a cap to three. I let myself absorb all the fear. All right. And then I get to business. All right.
Starting point is 02:17:25 That's what Alex does. It's like it's like how Paul tradies. Okay. If you're going to make a reference, I get to make a reference. Fine. We're at we're at loggerheads. No, keep calm.
Starting point is 02:17:41 So we are now at the point. I mean, I feel like we we sorted that out. Everything is fine. I think we got that one down. Nothing is wrong in Denmark here. So now we move on. We I mean, I just love that like, okay. So the last guest that well, I mean, if you don't count
Starting point is 02:17:57 Bob Chapman because he's a regular, the last guest that we had was that Joel Bonnick. That was a fucking disaster road to go down was how crazy this dude fantastic roller coaster. So then we have the friend of Muad D, but who's on who's like, no, I need to point out that he knows where the arc of the Covenant is. That is an important thing to point out.
Starting point is 02:18:15 All right. We got a lot of crazies here. Frankly, I'm mad that that wasn't what he led with. And so now we get to the last guest, which is where we will end this episode. A couple of clips from this guy. He is Leo Berman, the guy from the Texas legislature that Alex teased at the top of the show.
Starting point is 02:18:31 Not to be confused with wonderful person and friend of the show, Leah Berman. Fantastic. She's fantastic. She's a good comic. Absolutely. Chicago lover. Great.
Starting point is 02:18:42 She's not one of the steves from Chicago. Now to be our shorthand for she's definitely not a see you from Chicago. No. So here's Leo Berman from Texas. In the last 36 40 hours or so, Minnesota, Texas and some other states have introduced declaratory statements of reaffirming their 10th Amendment rights.
Starting point is 02:19:03 Other states are on the verge of passing or have passed 10th Amendment bills saying no confiscation, no martial law. We had a state representative on his introduced one in Montana. That's already done two readings as a good chance of passing right now in their session. But folks want a statement in Texas about sovereignty and that is indeed happened in during this week.
Starting point is 02:19:24 It got written up representative Leo Berman representative of six legislative district. Smith County right here in the great state of Texas and you can go up to info wars.com and the sites and read HCR 50. But to go over that way, this is the man that pinned the bill and is now introduced it representative of Leo Berman. Sir, thank you for coming on with us. Alex, it's a pleasure to be with you and actually next week
Starting point is 02:19:49 I'm going to file another resolution and that resolution would do the same thing. However, it's going to cover both the 9th and the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution. Great. I mean, they're already in the Constitution. No, it's going to cover them though. They're already in it.
Starting point is 02:20:04 You don't need to know it's going to cover. You don't need to do this. He's going to write a resolution that covers them. You don't need to do that. It's already in the Constitution. No, but he's going to cover them. You don't need to do that. It's absurd.
Starting point is 02:20:15 No, he's going to get like, okay. So you think you know the 9th and 10th Revolution, right? We're interested. You think you know the 9th and 10th Amendment. Right, right, right, right. You think you know that. This ain't your daddy's 9th Amendment. But has anybody ever covered them for you?
Starting point is 02:20:33 Has anybody ever written into law those amendments? Has anyone done an acid jazz cover of the 9th Amendment? Has anybody ever really sat down and wrote down what those 9th and 10th Amendments mean? Well, they did that once when they wrote them. And then it passed all the way through. No, I don't understand. All the governments.
Starting point is 02:20:50 No, but they were short. How long was it? Wait, those amendments, they weren't that long. This HCR 50, not very long either. How long was it? Not very long. I could read the whole thing if you want, but it's pointless. Okay, could you first read the 9th and 10th Amendments today?
Starting point is 02:21:06 No, I can't. And then compare it with the length of these? No, or shall I? Actually, these are, this is probably longer, but it's also... See, there you go. That's why we got to do it. But one of the... We got to do it.
Starting point is 02:21:14 We got to clarify the language, Dan. Stop it. The reason it's longer, at least this HCR 50 in Texas, this is really funny. I looked into this. And so like a lot of those other ones that we talked about, these house resolutions, house concurrent resolutions, they died in committee or they never got brought for a vote, that sort of thing. This one did pass.
Starting point is 02:21:36 Because it's Texas. Well. Well. It passed because it was required to have a bunch of rewrites and amendments. Okay. They kept asking me, look, now rewrite that shit. Yeah. And so what it ended up doing is just rewriting the 9th and 10th Amendments.
Starting point is 02:21:52 Basically. Yeah, they just wrote the same shit down. No, they don't even rewrite it. They just talk about like, so, you know, hey, we like being a part of the United States, that sort of thing. Resolved the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring that the 81st legislature of the state of Texas reaffirms the pride of all Texans and both are one and indivisible national union.
Starting point is 02:22:14 And in our one and indivisible state, declared sovereignty, knowledge of both declared sovereignty further resolved that the chief clerk of the House of Representatives is directed to send a copy of this resolution to the president of the United States of America, the vice president of the United States of America, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the United States of America, and to the governor of each sister state as an expression of the affection of the people of Texas for our one national and indivisible union.
Starting point is 02:22:40 You know what? They ended up having to. You know what? I heard that and all I heard was Texas secedes from the union and declares its sovereignty against the United States. No, my buddy. It's the opposite. Oh, it's the opposite.
Starting point is 02:22:52 Because of the amendments that they, and rewrites the legislature cap being like, no, right, no, no, you, we're not going to vote yes for this until you rewrite it to say that all of this is as a declaration of love for the one national and indivisible union. It's an ironic declaration of love, Dan. That was the session. It's the opposite. I've never heard of states secede more.
Starting point is 02:23:14 It's the opposite of secession. It is them saying that we are sending this as a proclamation that we love being part of the United States. Now, at the same time, we declare our sovereignty, but at the same time, guys, we love all of you. I want the attorney general from all of these states to get a note. I want the president. You got to know guys, we love you.
Starting point is 02:23:39 Also our SVP. We're having a party, Texas. All the time. The beginning of this house concurrent resolution is them saying that the 10th amendment applies, right? And hey, so does the federal government is cool with that because the big part of the, you know, the constitution kind of our thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:24:00 So that is so comical to me. The idea that, like, we know what happens in the future and this bill gets cucked down to being like, we love the federal government, which is really awesome. But unfortunately, Leo Berman keeps talking. He says something, one word that's really weird in this next clip. I want to see Mike down. I want to see if you can guess what one word stuck out to me in this. God, if it's the N word, we're going to click.
Starting point is 02:24:26 It's not. And if you're going to mandate anything on the state of Texas, if it's not fully contained in the U.S. Constitution, we're not going to do it. And the reason we're doing this, we're taking action is because of the, we understand it's going to be a federal handgun registration. We don't want him to know where all of our guns are here in Texas. What's the word?
Starting point is 02:24:52 I'm going to go with him. Oh man, it was that obvious. I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him. Weird, Leo. Hey, Leo. Hey, Leo. Did you not want the government to know or did you not want him?
Starting point is 02:25:08 Hey, Leo, you're, you're showing whatever it is, you're showing it. You know, that's crazy. Leo, do you have six nipples and four of them are on your fucking face? You are obvious. This is bananas. Man, that's a mess. Him. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:25 Him. Yep. We don't want him. So that made me say. So he would have said that obviously during the. Any other, any other presidents. Any other presidents. Of course.
Starting point is 02:25:36 So that kind of crazy person would imagine otherwise. So that made me be like, I want to find out about Leo Berman. What's up with him? I bet this goes down a very short rabbit hole of a man who loves his family, has never committed any gross frauds of any kind. I regret to inform you that he has died. I don't regret that. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 02:25:57 I'm fine with that. In 2011, Berman was named the worst politician by Texas Monthly after he appeared on CNN and combatively argued that Obama wasn't qualified to be president. Leo Berman is a birther. When the White House produced his birth certificate, Leo Berman responded, quote, it will take someone like Donald Trump to really determine whether the president has pulled the greatest swindle, the greatest hoax in the history of the United States. What year was that?
Starting point is 02:26:25 2011. Because that was when Trump was on his birther shit. He was sort of leading the charge along with Joe Arpaio. No, I know. I know that. All the big monsters of our time. I know that. I just don't understand the idea that a human being would say it would take someone like
Starting point is 02:26:46 Donald Trump. And yet at the same time, that's a very apt statement really to make. Because it would take someone like Donald Trump to have zero, zero morality or just a deference to truth or anything like that. Just it would take a pure psychopath. It would take the fucking unabomber. No, not even that, because the unabomber believed in reality. Right.
Starting point is 02:27:11 It would take a fucking serial killer to have zero human empathy or actions whatsoever in order to reveal this fucking scam. It would take Leo Berman, you lying garbage pile of fucking shit. It would take you pulling this bullshit on national television for everybody in Texas monthly to be like, Oh, finally, the worst. A Texan who sucks. Yeah. It's kind of the bad version.
Starting point is 02:27:41 Like what he projects onto Donald Trump is kind of the bad version of that. Like, are you a bad enough dude to save the president? Yeah, a little bit. He's a bad enough to lie about everything. Yeah. So that same year, he sponsored a rally encouraging Texas to secede from the United States. Of course. 2011.
Starting point is 02:27:58 I like it. 2011 was a big year for Leo Berman. He also made headlines by claiming, quote, the judges in Dearborn, Michigan are using and allowing to be used Sharia law also in England, in France and in Germany. The use of Sharia law is being allowed as well. The claim was made almost certainly because Leo had read this on a right wing propaganda blog or where the story originated on an anti-Muslim blog called Creeping Sharia. The blog put up an article about how four Christian missionaries were arrested at the
Starting point is 02:28:28 annual Arab International Festival, one of whom was, quote, peacefully discussing his Christian faith with Muslim youths. So, so innocuous, so innocent, so innocent. What Creeping Sharia and Leo Berman failed to point out is that, quote, the Christians were charged with disorderly conduct after police said they received a complaint from a Christian volunteer working at the festival who said he was harassed by the group. It wasn't even the Muslims or the Arabs there who complained about him. It was a Christian.
Starting point is 02:28:59 Of course. Propaganda narrative got weaved into a thing where Leo Berman is coming around saying that Sharia law is coming to America. So, we have one more clip here to listen to and it's just Leo Berman being a pile of shit. And also, there's another bill, Federal Hate Crimes Bill. If you open up your Old Testament to the Bible and read in the book of Exodus that homosexuality is an abomination, you could be charged with crime under that bill and that's exactly what's
Starting point is 02:29:28 happening in Canada right now. So, we're just saying if it's not in the Constitution, don't tell us about it. Don't ask us to do it. Was the Bible in the Constitution? No. No, but like was the Bible in the Constitution? I just think like when you're talking about government overreach and stuff like that. Right.
Starting point is 02:29:49 Like one of your first go-tos is the book of Exodus. Crime protections. Yeah. And like your example is like, hey, look, this old ass book says the gays are an abomination. Is that a hate crime? I would say depends. Would you say depends? Yes.
Starting point is 02:30:07 I wouldn't even say depends. No, I would say depends. I'd say, yeah, probably a hate crime. If you're privately enjoying that, I don't give a shit. Enjoy your life. If you're sitting... Oh, okay. It's when you're yelling it at other people that it becomes an issue.
Starting point is 02:30:24 You know, when you bring out that it is Leviticus, I believe. Yeah, it is Leviticus. No, you're right. That's where all the laws are. Yeah, yeah. No, Leviticus was hardcore. Then you bring out to lay with another man as an abomination. When you bring that out and scream it at someone who is a homosexual or a part of the LGBT community,
Starting point is 02:30:41 then you are harassing them and being a dick. Yeah. If you just sit around and privately believe it, I wish you wouldn't, but what are you going to do? Yeah. That's your right to believe whatever you want. So, I would suggest I've never read any hate crime legislation that doesn't involve you doing something to someone else. So this falls on deaf ears for me. This idea of like, oh, it's going to be a hate crime to read the Bible.
Starting point is 02:31:09 Don't fuck yourself. That's such a hollow fear. Yeah. I'm vamping because you're looking at a text. No, I'm not looking at a text. And I ran out of steam on my... No, you did not run out of steam. I did a little bit.
Starting point is 02:31:20 You fucking nailed it. That is exactly what is fucking going on. I don't... Okay. Okay. All right. Well, then... What are we doing?
Starting point is 02:31:30 Well, it's because... What is this guy thinking is how it's going... How is this supposed to work for him? So, if you think... If you... How can you both believe that the Constitution is absolute and yet at the same time think that a non-existent verse of the Bible in Exodus can justify you committing hate crimes? As being an overreach under the Constitution. This doesn't make any...
Starting point is 02:31:54 Any sense... Well, none of this makes sense. Not even an unreasonable sense. This makes no sense. This is completely separated, unrelated concepts from all directions somehow being combined. Like, I don't understand. He wants to yell at gay people. Here's why it washes over me.
Starting point is 02:32:15 It washes over me because this doesn't make any fucking sense. You think you need to engage when in the reality is when you hear something like that, the only thing that person is saying is, I want to yell at gay people. I know. And I think I can't anymore. But why... Why are you pretending to make it? I don't understand. I mean, I...
Starting point is 02:32:35 Well, I do understand is because on some level they realize that other human beings are like, you can't do that anymore. So they have to say, well, I want to do it. But since you aren't going to let me do it, I have to create some sort of fantastical reasoning that might convince you as to why I should be able to do it. Well, even sociopaths have feelings about themselves. You know, like, even if they can't understand other people's emotions and feelings and stuff like that, they still care about themselves not being able to do certain things. Right. And so when, like, hate crime legislation is passed, they don't feel it in the sense of, like, understanding what someone might experience from their actions. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:33:18 But they... I don't know. I don't know how to... There was a road I was going down. I don't understand where I am. It feels... So because they can't experience any kind of empathy for other human beings, all they can experience is an attack on themselves. Yes.
Starting point is 02:33:33 So... Right. Because I used to be able to do that. Right. And nobody would stop me. So you're taking something away from me, even though you're not, and I shouldn't have been doing it in the first place, and I can totally live a life that's fine without it. Yep. Do they...
Starting point is 02:33:51 Do any of these people know that, like, their lives would be unchanged if they weren't racist? Like, it wouldn't even bother them. Like, how many people are there... How many people who are, like, oh, the worst thing that you can call a white person is racist, and that's in a slur against us. How many people... How many of them just realize, like, no, you could just be fine. Like, your day wouldn't be bothered. I know.
Starting point is 02:34:19 Maybe if you just don't say racist things, nobody would bother you with it. I think that in this modern era, so much of what the advice people need is let go. But it's not that easy. But that is the answer. Like, you're saying these... Go to bed. No, because that wouldn't help. No, I don't.
Starting point is 02:34:40 You're saying that these people who are, like, racists, if they just realized, if they stopped being racist, everything would be the same. Yeah. What that really is is letting go of something they don't know they're holding onto. And that's the same for a lot of people with unresolved issues from the... And I'm not saying it's as simple as just saying, like, well, I don't care anymore. Right. Or anything like that. But there's a process you can go through that involves letting go.
Starting point is 02:35:06 Just shaking off the burdens of whatever is stuff that you don't need anymore. Erasing old software that's in your operating system that you don't know why it... But it did, and you don't need it to run your computer. Racism is one of them big time. Misogyny is one of them big time. Those are homophobia. Those are systems that haven't been updated because they're antiquated and they're glitching. They're glitching in people's computers and they insist on holding onto them.
Starting point is 02:35:36 See, I kind of actually am going to go back to an argument that Alex made. My metaphor went way too far. No, no, no. I actually think it was very apt and I think you did a great job. Thank you. I'm going to go back to actually weirdly enough something Alex said in order to explain why it is not something that they can just let go of. What Alex said whenever he was talking about to bring it back, the so-called changes in pigment,
Starting point is 02:36:05 that kind of stuff, he was saying that people in power are using it to divide us, which is frustrating because that is true. It's frustrating that Alex can say that and it is a true thing that's doing, and yet he's the person who's doing it correctly pointing out that it's being done. Part of the reason that... He's the cause of all the problems he complains about correctly. Exactly. Like in post reconstruction era south, you don't want poor white people and black people to get together
Starting point is 02:36:47 and then they're going to realize together, oh, it's not the poor. It's the system. It's the rich. So the poor white people can hang on to the fact that, hey, no matter how poor we are, no matter how much we starve, at least we're not black people. Right. So that's to me what all this racism that people can't let go of is, is it's like, look, I'm actually living a shitty life and the only thing that brings me a kind of sense of security
Starting point is 02:37:15 is that at least I'm not gay. Right. I agree, I agree that that might be sort of a psychological crutch, but at the same time that doesn't really in any substantive way help your life. If you are using that to sort of bolster your own sense of self, if you let it go, the reality of your life, whatever your paycheck is, whatever your living situation is, doesn't actually change. Right.
Starting point is 02:37:45 Maybe you have to find new friends because you can't hang out with those racist bigots that you hung out with. That's true. That's true. That's only going to be an upgrade in your life. It's going to be a tough adjustment period when you have no friends and have to go, you know, meet new people. But other than that, no, I don't buy this shit.
Starting point is 02:38:02 Yeah. Everyone just need, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know either. Anyway, all this sucks. It doesn't really though. 2009 is still more fun. No.
Starting point is 02:38:12 2009 is more fun. And yet at the same time, so illustrative. Shout out to Joel Bonick for providing me with a nice story about meth houses. Shout out to Alex Jones for allowing Bob Chapman to precipitate two visits from Ted Anderson on one episode. Set in records. I got no more shout outs except that we have a website, knowledgefight.com. Also a phone number 530.
Starting point is 02:38:37 Serity. Wait. American? American number one. American number one. Five through zero. Five through zero. And I'm serious.
Starting point is 02:38:45 It's active now. As soon as you hear this, if you are listening and you want to leave us a message, you can do it anytime. Anytime. Anytime you have some weird thought. Save it in your phone. Save it in your phone as a number. You can just like, if you're out drunk and you want to just leave as a drunk message,
Starting point is 02:39:01 go for it. This is revolution. The opinions Dan expresses are not necessarily the opinions expressed out. No, no. We're also on Twitter. No, this sounds fun. Yeah. At knowledge underscore fight.
Starting point is 02:39:15 Yeah. We're on Facebook. You can go to our Facebook group. Go home and tell your mother you're brilliant. Yep. We're on iTunes. Apparently Dan is going to be working to get us on Stitcher and shit right now. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:39:27 Stitcher wasn't as easy as I thought and Spotify is not going to work. No. Spotify is bullshit. They keep everybody out except for Alex. No. Spotify we could get on, but they gave me a real serious warning message that like, if you have any copyrighted material, we will throw you right off. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:39:46 So then yeah. Spotify is not going to work. I understand that the Alex clips we use are under fair use. Technically public domain. Yeah. But then also he plays a lot of music that he has contracts to play, but I know from posting things to YouTube, like we posted that clip where he sung along with the highway men. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:40:04 And I got a message on YouTube that if we monetize that video, all the money goes to like RCA. Oh, whatever. Cause we played the highway men clip in that. So we can't play. I don't think Spotify will ever accept our show because it's not like clear. Cause there's too many highway men clips. Yeah. So I think we were in trouble there.
Starting point is 02:40:22 That's an interesting reason to be. Stitcher maybe in time, but I have to figure out how to hook it all up. But anyway, who cares. Anyways, the long and the short of it. It's your turn. It goes down to us all agreeing. It's not your turn. It's my turn.
Starting point is 02:40:36 Is it your turn? I think so. I think it is your turn. Yeah. I just always say it's your turn. Yeah. I know you. It's my new bit.
Starting point is 02:40:44 You don't like it. No, I don't really mind. It's just, it's a challenge for me because I sit with these episodes for much longer than you. I would say. Oh boy. Cause I know I have a, I know I have a top one. Okay.
Starting point is 02:40:55 I'd like to hear it and then I'm going to flip a coin. All right. No. What the? But go ahead. How dare you say Muad Dib. Muad Dib is the savior of the Fremen. Okay, they have been oppressed by the Harkonnen rule as well as the imperialists for such
Starting point is 02:41:13 a long time. You know what? This is a very important story that you need to hear about right now. So the Fremont only because their land and it's a whole morality tale. It's basically an allegory for the way that the imperialist tree, the colonial street of the Native Americans in the same fucking way. Anyways, my biggest issue is that Leo Berman can go fuck himself. Andy and Kansas, you're on the air.
Starting point is 02:41:38 Thanks for holding. Hello, Alex. I'm a first-time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work.
