I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys, shang me are the bad guys, knowledge
fight, then enjoy knowledge fight, need money, Andy and Kansas, stop it, Andy and Kansas,
it's time to pray, Andy and Kansas, you're on the air, thanks for holding, hello Alex I'm
assistant color, I'm a huge fan, I love your work, knowledge fight, knowledge fight dot com,
I love you, everybody welcome back to knowledge fight, I'm Dan, I'm Jordan, we're couple dudes
like sit around trick novelty beverages and talk a little bit about Alex Jones, indeed we are Dan,
Jordan, what is your favorite tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, have you ever had a favorite tweet or is
this a completely like do not give a fuck situation, I think my friend comedian Zach Peterson a
while back, I only remember a few actual tweets, right, well that's what I'm saying,
they're so ephemeral, it seems important if there's one that you do remember, his Zach Peterson,
great comedian, wrote one time way back, back in the olden days, I don't know, years back,
his fud ruckers is run by the builder burgers, builder burgers, that's not bad, that's not bad,
and then the only other one I remember is Murphy Lee from the St. Lunatics,
we were me and some other comics were going to St. Louis to do a show and we were driving on the way
and Joe McAdam, very funny comedian, check out his sketch group, but absolutely, he was in the car,
we were heading to the place and we're like let's see if any St. Louis celebrities will come to the
show and so we're like trying to tweet it like Nelly, yeah, yeah, and of course we ended up getting
into the other St. Lunatics and Murphy Lee, we're checking out his Twitter feed and it was great,
he was dropping some gems and the only one I remember was, don't nobody love these hoes,
but everybody loves Raymond, that's pretty good, what does that mean man, I don't know, but it's
pretty good, what does that mean, that's not bad, I don't know, good pairs, anyway I thought it was
funny, that is funny, there's a show where I know a couple of tweets and quite a bit about Alex Jones,
and I don't know any tweets and nothing about Alex Jones, good, Jordan today what we're doing is
we're in the present day and we'll be going over the span of August 4th and 5th 2019 and be covering
Alex Jones's immediate coverage of the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, great, that's what I love,
I hope that this won't be as awful as that sounds like it's going to be, because I don't, I guess
what I'm trying to sort of string out here is sort of the, I think that if you're particularly
sensitive to these topics then proceed with caution, but also I don't know if it's as horrible as
you're going to imagine the content we cover will be, but then again I'm jaded and I don't know,
I could be entirely off in terms of how people experience things, so anyway fair warning I guess
that's the headline, so we're going to get into that, it's interesting to see how narratives are
built in crisis mode and in real time and I'm excited to go over all of that, but first Jordan

clicking the button that says support the show we would appreciate it, it would be lovely, now
Jordan this is going to be an interesting thing, I've been really, I was struck with a really
interesting thought while I was going through a lot of this episode and one of the things that
I wanted to do is I wanted to sort of pose a question almost sort of a guiding idea or thought
to have in our minds as we go through this okay and it's a it's kind of a question that's been
taken over by conspiracy theorists and people who oftentimes are leading people down bad roads
right right who killed JFK well I mean you could apply it to that yeah and it's the question of
what if you know what if Oswald didn't shoot him right what if and that leads you down the road
to considering possibly you know unwise sources and you know it leads you down bad roads and I
want to I want to hold on to that idea of what if particularly in terms of Alex Jones what if
he's wrong you know like for himself what does that mean he's doing you know like if we're wrong
what does that mean that means well first of all Alex needs to show me he needs to prove any of his
points right and I'm I'm willing to be wrong right what real world consequence does it have if we're
wrong um uh oh people could uh erently start caring about other people uh and become empathic
right or you know in in an incorrect way it would be terrible if people did that I mean that's
certainly a possibility maybe we would be negligent to a globalist takeover but I'm not sure we're
going to be able to do anything about that as is or anybody listening doubtful so there's that
what if Alex is wrong he is uh causing terrorist I want to hold on to that question as we go along
and just let it ruminate um so also one of the things I wanted to point out before we get started
is that I've been noticing in the present day that Alex Jones has a fucking catch phrase
that he's working on did I do that oh it'd be great if that would be great the tone he delivers it in
is kind of the same okay sort of like uh mischievous tone okay here is a super cut of him saying his
catch phrase from these two days episodes see how it works see how it works see how that works
so he see how that works see how that works see how that works he says that condescendingly after
he thinks he's made a point yeah oh my god in 2019 times he says it all the time see how that
works is his mic drop yeah so I'm gonna keep uh track of I'm gonna keep running uh track of the
see how that works uh so we can see how it works yeah so you start on the fourth and that was Sunday
and he records in the evening time I think it's like four to six his time so by that point he had
every reason to be aware of both shootings yeah um he does not seem to be aware or he seems to be
aware of but doesn't seem to care all that much about the date and shooting uh on the fourth
almost the entire thing is about the El Paso one and I don't I don't know why that's the case I'm
not entirely sure it would be probably unwise for me to speculate but just so everyone's aware
almost everything he talks about for this first uh August 4th episode is about the Texas situation
and so he starts and one of the things that's really important that Alex needs to do whenever
he's getting ready to get into um speculative I'm going to create a conspiracy mode he needs
to justify that he needs to justify behavior since people rightfully call him out all the time
about how what he does is really fucked up um and so he does that by appealing to history
start of the next segment right out of the break we're gonna come with music
we're gonna play Madeline Albright here on air saying 500,000 children is a good price to pay
cutting off their medicine that's what Bill Clinton did sanctions 10 times worse than what George
Herbert Walker Bush did and he was a war criminal as well but oh they would never stage a false
flag terror attack they would never wind up a leftist to carry out an event no no
so uh we already have the insinuation that uh this uh this the shooter in El Paso is a leftist
which will develop as time goes on but he he appeals to this like why shouldn't we question
things Madeline Albright said that uh these sanctions that killed a bunch of kids were a good
like a good price to pay um and uh so they don't care about kids why do you think they care about
people uh shopping and that being how Alex starts his show has me really worried for him if Alex is
relying on an argument as flimsy as Madeline Albright said something really fucked up 23 years
ago so obviously the globalist would do false flag shootings like that can't mean he's got much to go
on if that's the opening volley that's been yeah well it is unimpeachable logic then well certainly
the comment that she made Madeline Albright that is she made that in an interview with 60 minutes
where she expressed that the consequences of sanctions against Saddam Hussein's government
were worth it when weighed against the benefits that's a horrible thing to say and she definitely
shouldn't have said that that is my position and it's also Madeline Albright's position
Alex always plays that clip of her little tiny clip from the 60 minutes interview but never
discusses how she deeply regretted that interview and guilt about her comments plagued her she said
in her book Madame Secretary quote little effort was made to explain Saddam's culpability his misuse
of Iraqi resources or the fact that we were not embargoing medicine or food I was exasperated that
our tv was showing what amounted to Iraqi propaganda I must have been crazy I should have answered the
question by reframing it and pointing out the inherent flaws and the premise behind it Saddam
Hussein could have prevented any child from suffering simply by meeting his obligations
instead I said the following I think this is a very hard choice but the price we think the price
is worth it as soon as I'd spoken I wished for the power to freeze time and take back my words
my reply had been a terrible mistake hasty clumsy and wrong nothing matters more than the lives of
innocent people I'd fallen into a trap and said something that I simply did not mean this is nobody's
fault but my own it's interesting to me because take whatever you like you know whatever you feel
about battling Albright good or bad out of the equation it's really hard for me for this not to
be seen as one of the most apologized for incorrect statements made by a politician that I can think
of Albright's been very clear that she didn't make the point that she'd meant to that she wishes
she could take it back and that what she said was stupid you find so many times where she's
criticized herself like from her own book to the time that Amy Goodman bumrushed her at the 2004
Democratic National Convention she'd been very clear about this it's just kind of wild to me
that Alex takes this as proof of exactly what he wants it to be proof of by depriving it of context
and any of Albright's later statements where she tries to clarify what she meant it means what
Alex says it means because this show is about constructing a narrative also it's hilarious
to me that Alex spent so much time discussing how horrible Madeleine Albright's comments are about
sanctions but simultaneously supporting Trump sanctions on Venezuela Trump is legit talking
about a blockade to push for regime change there which would be devastating to the citizenry
it's basically an act of war but something tells me that Alex is going to be totally cool with it
because globalists yeah I'm pretty sure blockades are only ever used in in wars it's a it's a real
aggressive act yeah yeah well I mean if Alex doesn't turn on Trump for that I mean I don't I don't
know what like what you could say right like why would why would you and then think that you get
any mileage out of playing a clip of Madeleine Albright miss speaking on 60 minutes yeah but
see this is the thing it's important that he justify ahead of time what he knows he's about
to do yeah so if I'm going to get into rank speculation about these these horrors these atrocities
that have happened then I'm going to need to be like well they do this stuff yeah so that's what
he's doing it is it is interesting to me that I can't think of any Star Wars movie where Alex
isn't probably on the bad guy side like he's already on the the trade federation's blockade
of Naboo he's already there man he loves that shit yeah that's why I always plays the imperial
march we need some Jedi so we've already got a horribly out of context clip of Madeleine Albright
that Alex is going to use his preemptive justification for his narrative spinning so it's
really funny to me that this is what he says almost immediately after that if you tuned in today
and you want us to break down the current climate current system we're in you found the right place
that's what you found really I don't know uh exactly what's going on you know Paso
but I do know that the media is using the crisis to try to cause a race war in this country
and that the corporate media has been pushing massive massive massive cultural
division in an attempt to get an explosion there's been a full on full on press for that non-stop
continually so it's interesting to me that he says that I don't know what's going on but I do
know that the media is making a race war yeah it's uh it's amazing to me that we do this show
because that means that you continued listening after that point whereas if it were me or a
right thinking person I assume it'd be like the media is trying to start a race war cool click
click out wait are you the media aren't you the media haven't you been inspiring racist
terrorism for a while now does feel like that is the case yeah um but you know what the thing is
that you we're wrong and everybody uh like us is wrong because what if we're dumb uh uh
crypto globalists or something yeah that sounds right because Trump doesn't foment hate Jordan
that's dumb I don't even like hearing you sarcastically say those words it makes me so angry
if you don't like hearing me sarcastically say them you're gonna hate hearing Alex sincerely
I can't do it I can't beto auror can all the rest of them up they're totally capitalizing on it
blaming the president when you can clearly blame the democrats if you believe their official story
about what's happened here by foaming all of this up and making it about race war when Trump's not
made it about race or your color or where you're from he's made it about the law well they're the
ones they're invoking all this hate always saying that Trump is the one that is invoking at all
but you're dealing with people that think hey 500 000 kids
have died I mean I mean that's like 1999 under the clintons in just a few years
and and and they admit they've died because you won't let medicine or food come in and she says
yeah it's a good price to pay they don't care about 500 000 dead children but oh oh 20 innocent
people get killed in El Paso all gun owners are to blame Trump's to blame Alex Jones is to blame
humanans to blame they're all the blame ladies and gentlemen they're all the blame
how illustrating is that I'm really shocked he didn't end with see how that works yeah
that is a very current style of his broadcast I cannot believe that he's trying to variation on
the theme yeah it's pretty close yeah um so you see there he has to weave it back to uh the
Madeleine Albright comment because it's so foundational for what he feels is justifying
like he knows what he's doing like he oh absolutely there isn't any part of me that doesn't
but like no I guess I can't be a hundred percent certain but everything I've learned from studying
Alex Jones makes me uh very confident yeah that he enters the studio and he knows that he's going
to be producing manipulative uh narratives about real world events like he knows that's what he's
doing and in order to make it feel like this is justified and make it look like that's not what
he's doing point to Madeleine Albright saying this bada bing bada boom we're in the clear
they don't care about human life because of this now I'm cool yeah I am uh I don't know if I'm uh
too jaded or if I've become more mature for I'm just older but I managed to keep the red
flames of fire and uh burning hatred uh in my head instead of screaming them out through my mouth
because once he started talking I swear to god I just wanted to uh you you're the the level of
neighbors that you would have to yell back at me would make your neighbors angry you've got a tough
day ahead of you here I know this is going to be rough a lot of this is going to be fucking rough
Dan LaCroix isn't going to be enough I'm listening to this and I'm going well like here's the only
thing I can think of is at least it doesn't sound like he what he woke up and was super stoked to go
on uh his show and uh justify white nationalist terrorism like it seems like so many of those
GOP people were like will woke up yesterday morning filled with like can't wait to tell people why
white nationalist terrorism is uh not a problem it was it's disgusting I think you might be wrong
about him uh a little bit maybe he's just a little tired well he also recorded his like
16 minute immediate report on Saturday oh so this is he'd already like worked on his day off yeah
so he was a little excited gotcha gotcha um but halfway expected him to pop champagne just like
a 2016 election and fucking laugh well uh we'll see where it goes um there's a uh there's another
thing that he needs to do like he needs he needs to fully cloister himself within some sort of
protective blanket about his behavior like it's it's clear like he has to paint the globalists
who he's blaming for all of this as heartless non-caring about human life the totally demonic
boom so you do that with the metal and all bright thing then you have to defend uh against the idea
that this person who committed the actual crime could have been motivated by anything really oh
you kind of have to diffuse that from your conversation um and you can do that by also
sort of blaming the globalists sure you know why I question mass shootings because real mass
shootings happen we have a lot of evil sick people in the world but why do mass shootings
happen they're statistically still rare but the media hypes them up and so mentally ill people
begin to think it's how they become superstars in the old days it was known that whether it was
the sears tower or before that the world trade centers or uh the impar states building or the
chrysler building in new york that you might go six months when nobody jumped off of it
this is in criminology manuals it's it's taught in psychology this is well known information
that when one person jumps off the sears tower or the chrysler building or the impar states building
or any building that almost always within a few days someone else comes and tries to jump off the
very same building it's it's how copycats work it's how lemmings going off a cliff operate well when
you've got hundreds of movies and thousands of tv reports every year and just newspaper articles
everywhere about mass shootings and instead of suicide by cop just just go out and shoot a bunch
of people so um what alex is doing here when he's talking about is a real thing yeah um but he's
kind of close to describing a real thing i would say he's still a little bit off there's a phenomenon
that researchers have found where media coverage of notable suicide seems to lead people to emulate
the circumstances of the original suicide this is called the werther effect named after a character
in girtha's book the sorrows of young werther in the book werther is rejected in love and shoots
himself after the book's release there were reports of young men emulating werther uh though
it's hard to tell how much of that reporting is sensationalized in and of itself connecting
disconnected cases to the book it was the late 1700s after all and it's hard to say with certainty
how much of that is you know accurate yeah whatever the case the phenomenon was named and history has
shown that there does seem to be a bit of a connection between high-profile suicides and
rising suicide rates this was seen after robin williams took his life when researchers saw on
almost 10 increase in suicides over what their model would have predicted this is something
that's really almost impossible to prove a causal link between though there's no way uh that demonstrating
interesting patterns that seem to indicate that uh suicide numbers go up after the media covers a
suicide there's no way to definitively say that's what's causing it there's a ton of other variables
that could be influencing that pattern they're impossible to control for in any ethical experiment
that said if alex wants to take the position the coverage of a suicide does trigger copycats
i'm not going to fight him too much on it it's worth pointing out however that studies trying to
determine if this effect applied to fictionalize portrayals of suicide like in the show 13 reasons
why uh they they tried to study that and they found that the results were inconclusive so it's
pretty ungrounded for alex to assert that movies and tv shows or the rights favorite boogie man now
video games have any bearing on causing this sort of copycat behavior in an article in scientific
americans said that this phenomenon doesn't seem to apply to tv and movies because quote
it does appear the public at large are able to distinguish fact from fiction which we know is
a struggle for alex yeah one thing i'm going to take a strong issue with here though is that he's
trying to make this apply to all phenomenon which i don't think he's in any way established if we
take is accepted that high profile suicide can have an effect on suicide rates in the immediate
aftermath of news reports about it it doesn't follow that this phenomenon exists for mass shooters
it very well may but the research that he's using to justify his claim about suicides does
not extend to mass shooters that's a leap that he's earned he has not earned the right to make
is based solely on his own assessment i find the evidence to be pretty overwhelming that there is a
copycat phenomenon going on as it relates to uh to mass shootings but i don't believe it's
appropriate to say that it's the same phenomenon that's uh is seen as it relates to suicide when
you make that simplistic and unfounded leap what you're doing is attempting to whitewash all the
other motivations that the shooter may have had none of them matter because all they were doing is
there's just another suicidal kid who the media convinced should go shoot up some place that is
in in essence the sort of behavior you would expect out of someone conducting a cover-up not
because they were involved in the shooting or anything like that because but because on some
level they know that their ideas and the things that they put into the world might have been
beyond anything else i find alex's position on this to be absurd and downright offensive
if he believes that media coverage of things make them more likely to be copycatted
why does he spend so much time salatiously covering any crime and immigrant commits
isn't he worried that he'll cause copycat immigrant crimes if he's so worried about this
phenomenon why does he obsess about the threat of antifa isn't he concerned that that's going
to cause copycats the way he carries out his broadcast doesn't support the argument he's
making here he's absolutely fine engaging in the exact same behavior he's condemning the media for
in every single other circumstance that doesn't involve gun violence and there's a very easy
to figure out reason why so what is that i think we can guess so uh you've got this deflection
you've got you've got this framing uh with the madeline albright quote uh you've got this deflection
with uh miss misinterpretation of the copy cat effects that that that people experience
and then what you need to do is you need to minimize the situation sure it's bad but it's
not that bad yeah so what i'm saying is just in cancun it's all over mexico there's thousands
a week getting killed you never hear about it and their lives are just important as the poor
people god rest their souls the 20 people got killed at the ball at walmart they're saying
fuck you know paso so you know alex is playing fast and loose here a little bit i think like the
way he's talking you could easily get the impression that he's saying that thousands of people are
killed in cancun a week which is completely insane there were 540 murders in cancun in 2018 which is
way too many uh to be comfortable with but it's far less than thousands a week if he's trying to
say that there's thousands of murders a week in mexico that's even an absurd number there were
33341 murders investigations opened in mexico in 2018 or approximately 641 a week again that's
much higher number than uh we would like to see but alex's embellishment of these things is super
irresponsible to say that there are thousands of murders a week in cancun or even mexico as a whole
is to create an exaggerated image of what's going on in that country ironically if he believes that
there are thousands of murders a week uh in a city in mexico or just mexico he's even more of a
complete monster for opposing people making refugee claims but that's a separate issue and don't
don't need to get into that necessarily and furthermore it's kind of offensive to say that the media
doesn't talk about the violence and cartel crime going in mexico uh from my perspective i've seen
plenty of coverage of it alex is trying to paint a false equivalence by making an exaggerated
completely untrue claim about the murders in mexico and saying uh that that is what the media should
be covering simply as a way of deflecting from people having a very needed conversation about
gun violence in our country and again it's pretty simple to see why he would do that
i hate that fucking uh oh yeah yeah yeah no you're gonna complain about the mass shooting at
waco or at el paso or whatever it is what about in laos a guy was killed yesterday isn't his life
as important as and the media is not talking about that what about that what about that dan
come at me it's a strategy that's just inherently a trap yeah it it it it makes it so no matter how
you reply you either get bogged down into an unwinnable conversation that the person who's
trying to bait you into the conversation they also do not care about that at all no not even a little
bit and then the alternative is that they get to paint you as someone who doesn't care about people
in foreign countries dying yeah it's possible to care about multiple things simultaneously
even passionately yeah it's possible it's war games the only way to win is not to play
perhaps so uh we get to the big narrative uh now in this next clip here this is what's
going to guide alex's belief that this is a false flag uh that the el paso shooting was set up by
the globalists um and then they're using it to demonize trump alex the patriots all that good
stuff right they were wearing adidas shoes which everybody knows is the official footwear of the
globalist sure that could be that that's that's probably a more interesting theory than what
you're here you're probably this will be the underpinning of it all so up to this point we've
got all of the preparation that's needed in order to justify this sort of behavior and now this is
the behavior but we're hearing on every sunday news show donald trump did it donald trump alex
jones paul joseph watson southern prairie law center has put out the reports within hours of
the shooting it happened at like 11 30 in the morning i knew about it at 12 30 i was already
working and here came a southern prairie law center article and oh social media showed he
liked alex jones and q and on then i noticed it was confirmed that someone was in control of this
person's social media and was erasing that he was a democrat and was erasing that his dad gave money
to mass shooting victims and was an anti gunner and was a psychologist at a uh running a psychiatric
facility it's always the same and so in a live time and i have the articles i'll cover them
they were removing he was a democrat they were removing all the stuff they were putting my name
in there i would say that uh when you hear stuff like that you kind of get the sense that alex is
kind of eager to be associated i really think i just wrote down remember when you said earlier
that he doesn't seem anxious for it never mind yeah i just i just wrote down he's like i really
wish i got more headlines saying that i was involved in this he's going out of his way to
put himself in the conversation yeah donald trump and me you know two equal people who are part of
this whole situation went on yep even if there's a loose connection between yourself and a shooter
like he was your fan there's a way to cover that with dignity and this is not it what alex is doing
is trying to deny that the shooter was his fan if he was and then creating a greater conspiracy on
top of the whole thing that places this focus squarely on himself this is alex's strategy to
make himself the real victim of the shooting more or less which is a monstrous behavior and something
he should be deeply ashamed of i really wanted to get to the bottom of this and see if there was any
truth to what alex was saying but i was kind of impeded on my ability to do so because there wasn't
any coverage of this social media stuff on info wars website which is really where you think the
proof would be if this was a conspiracy that alex is going to put out on his show and yet there
was nothing to be found there it took a little bit of digging but i figured out was what was up
this is a story about the shooter's my life page for those of you who don't know my life is a website
that uses publicly available information about people to create profiles of them it's super
fucked up and i hate that i now know that it exists wait wait wait so it's just a data aggregator
that creates a profile for you sort of yeah you don't have to have any involvement with it so it
can make a profile regardless of whether or not you have ever heard of my life i yeah i believe so
after the shooting there were allegations that someone had gone into this uh shooter's my life
page and changed his political affiliation from democrat to republican they'd further added references
to him being a qanon believer an nra supporter and an incel obviously this was the work of leftists
trying to cover up that this guy was one of them and then they're gonna leave that noble the noble
donald trump holding the bag sure the problem is that the shooter didn't even have a profile on my
life until after the shooting one was made for him in the right after the first news broke with his
identity and when it was first put up there was no political affiliation listed after that someone
edited to say that he was a democrat with no evidence provided they also put his religious beliefs
and ethnicity as antifa then people started editing it to say that he was a republican and
into qanon and honestly from there it got even wilder people just kept editing it yeah this became
a wikipedia entry each each Donald trump is a national hero edit donald trump is not edit yeah
yeah at the point that snopes decided to stop following the edits to the profile his bio said
quote registered democrat and his political affiliation was listed as republican yeah so it kind of
come to a truce sure sure fine this is a case of dum-dums on both sides trying to edit this guy's
profile in order to make him fit a specific box that they wanted to fit my life is a super easily
edited website and they explicitly say about the information on the site quote we cannot fully
guarantee its accuracy the point here is that even in ideal circumstances my life is not a
place where real information should be pulled from unless it can be verified elsewhere alex is
pretending that it is his social media page and it was scrubbed when in reality it was a page
created by people wanting to portray him as antifa that was then edited he's reporting the second
part but not the first because alex jones hates context he loves narratives it doesn't matter
if they're true it just matters if they sell also here's the story that alex is spinning about the
shooter's father the father is a mental health counselor who treated people with post traumatic
stress disorder about a year or so back the veterans administration had referred a guy to his clinic
to help with his ptsd which was the result of a man showing up at his door and shooting him
the father had worked with the guy and had set up a go fund me page to help him with the immediate
expenses that he was unable to cover on his own this is what alex is making sounds suspicious
and it is proof of a conspiracy the fact that his father worked in the mental health field and
that he had helped one of his patients setting up a crowdfunding so they wouldn't go bankrupt
as a consequence of them being shot legitimately alex is a huge piece of shit there's no two
ways about this shouldn't he be in favor of veterans receiving treatment for post traumatic
stress disorder shouldn't he be in favor of therapists helping them set up crowdfunding
for their bills since alex is so goddamn opposed to the state paying for that shit
think for one second about why he would take these things that he should be in favor of
and just put a little tone on them and make them seem suspicious and proof of a conspiracy in this
instance and i think you'll pretty easily figure out why he's operating this way
why is he operating this way i don't know every time every time you do that i'm gonna
wait a beat and then ask you the question so get prepared for that do you see do you see now so you
see see how that works you see the narrative that alex is setting up which is that this page
was edited to cover up that he was a democrat when in reality the situation is super easily edited
page by anybody publicly can do it it wasn't even there before the shooting it's nonsense
pointlessness that shouldn't be addressed it was a propaganda it was an attempt at propaganda
then ping-ponged back and forth between people who are editing his page and then that ping-ponging
itself is now being used as alex for propaganda to make his spurious claims yeah yeah so that's
where we're at it doesn't matter now alex lies explicitly about that my life page but here it
is left to change shooter patrick crucius's my life page after saturday's shooting from democrat
to republican it'd been up for years that he was a democrat up there for years years all the stuff
it's seen now it gets changed after this is our after he's in custody
oh boy i'm busy lying thought hey thoughts uh what am i thinking
say that it's me that i made him do this here's a shot right here for tv viewers just just right
here so we're no one said you made him do it now i honestly don't know where alex is getting the
this page was up for years thing from but he's definitely trying to drive that point home
he says it twice in that clip and those weird long pauses are definitely upsetting but it's
absolutely not true i was thinking there would be a weird thing for him to make up himself
but if he did that would indicate that it's something that's important for him to attach to
this story the story of the my life page appears to have been broken by jim hoft at the gateway
it has a pretty uh a full encapsulation of the narrative the post on gateway pundit
namely that it asserts without any proof that leftists were the ones who were editing the
profile to hide that he was a registered democrat the article in its current form has a correction
at the bottom of the page saying that the page the my life page was created after the shooting
but it's not correcting any explicit claims that i can find in previous versions of the article
like the previous versions didn't allege that it had been up for years the way alex is
legitimately can't find uh that claim in any of the places where alex is known to gather
his information from obviously i can't possibly know what kind of sick and cheap impulses drive
alex to behave the way he does but if i had to guess i would say this is an indication that
he's fully aware at this point when he's reporting this that the page was made after the shooting
and uh that whenever whatever troll created it put the page up it was made to make it look like
the shooter was democrat and antifa alex needs the perception to be that this page had been up
for years because the fact that it hadn't completely destroys his cause for suspicion here
it also underlies how easy it is for anyone to edit my life pages if alex's listeners understood
the specifics of the situation they would know that there isn't anything suspicious about this
it's just trolls on the internet going back and forth editing a meaningless page that the
shooter had zero to do with if alex's narratives are to work at all he needs the audience to not
understand the specifics of the situation it's in his best interests that they believe misinformation
so that's what he offers them yeah it does have the feel of him like
grasping for some kind of lie something and then hitting on the like it's been up for years
almost in the moment right and and i wonder if that long pause afterwards was him being like
i know that it's not been up or i wonder if it's someone in his ear being like alex yeah that's
possible alex that's possible yeah that's that's just not true yeah you're asserting this as fact
and you're lying to people yeah yeah yeah you're either indicating that you don't know what you're
talking about or you're lying one of the two i would say the the worst that the part of the
voice in his ear would do is alex you made a mistake on that it has not been up for years
no way would the producer be like alex quit lying yeah that's their bread and butter yeah
but i think even they might realize like alex you're drifting into behaviors that have gotten
you sued before like you're not going to get sued about saying that this page had been up
for a long time like for years with like direct opposition to reality but that sort of behavior
if applied to other areas of this story yeah could get you screwed yeah alex rein it in
rein it in i think there might be i hope someone is giving him that call because he's not ready
to get in i'll tell you who isn't barns barns is in his ear going like keep on going barns i got
a job coming soon barns i think is smart enough to stay the fuck off air in this aftermath of a
tragedy i think he knows like fuck this i'll let alex do this yeah have fun it's so crazy what
guests he ends up actually having right right oh god is the newge coming on to say that everybody
was fine nope newge is smarter than that fair the people he gets oh boy so alex talks about
this how he talked to reporters that he works with on the ad info wars unfair to call them
reporters yeah that's his employees yes he had spoken to his underlings about the coverage that
they were going to put out about this story and i think he says a little bit too much in this next
clip about their intentions and then he just fucking fumbles the ball really hard while trying to
remember past conspiracies so we're punished for really reporting what's going on
so i don't know who this guy is but i'm talking to millie weaver and i'm talking to my reporters
yesterday afternoon and millie says to me well i'm gonna look and see if his parents are psychologists
because you know they're usually the psychologists like she sort of lists in the cases where
with a shooter and i'm gonna cover this coming up in aurora remember that colorata said he was
under mind control said his family did it to him said that a psychologist did it to him
and and it turned out that his psychiatrist was the former head psychiatrist in the air force
over a DARPA program that puts brain ships and troops you can't make that up well i remember
that one and yes you can someone can make that oh yeah uh first things first at the end there alex
is completely mixing up his narratives about the aurora shooting we covered it back in the 2013
investigation but the narratives about the DARPA program and the air force psychologist uh which
are both bullshit on their own are completely different lies it's supposed to be that james
holmes was in a DARPA program and got a bunch of money from DARPA and also that his psychologist
dr fenton was an air force mind control doctor because alex knows that all the shit he talks
about is basically bullshit he doesn't care about being accurate about any of it he cares so little
that he doesn't even realize that he's combining two narratives into one also i don't remember mind
control chips being part of the conspiracy back then so i guess it's a later development in the
story which also isn't real yeah i mean either i remember the the uh we talked about that pretty
very extensively and oh yeah well researched but uh now he's adding some manchurian candidate stuff
in there so i think that was always kind of the flavor of it yeah but then also he's lying even
about the lie about the jailhouse stuff like that was just comes from a book of a guy who was trying
to get like he wrote the book because the state's attorney didn't believe him yeah uh he was trying
to like shop for a shorter sentence yeah it's all it's all bullshit um and they said like oh my
family did it to me like that's completely that's not even part of the conspiracy back then why are
you doing this add a little add anything you want it's all lies anyways add whatever you need for
the narrative you're trying to push but it's such a lack of professionalism even within the area of
lying right that's why he's got the greatest job in the world it's crazy that doesn't even need to
keep his lies straight it's crazy that even people who believe him and listen to him don't notice and
be like hold on you are sloppy it's a doomsday cult saying we're gonna go down on december
15th 2003 and then when the date comes the cult stays and he's like i misread it now it's
four thousand they don't give a fuck what it is they're there for the fun and now they're excited
to learn that james holmes uh his family yeah exactly oh and that proves that i didn't know his
families are like when they're psychologists it's dangerous yeah so i think the most important
thing here is that what uh what alex is describing oh and he's talking about with melly weaver that's
a textbook case of confirmation bias like before setting out to do any of the research millie weaver
is told alex that she feels like a lot of mass shooters parents are psychologists she's entering
the research with a conclusion already decided she's not setting out to find out if mass shooters
have psychologist parents more often than would be expected she's setting out to find a few examples
that fit her decided talking point then she's going to make a propaganda video uh presenting it is
if it means anything i legitimately don't even care to engage with that shit no not even a little
such a transparently dishonest way to try and make an argument that what uh like whatever the ensuing
product is it's meaningless and ultimately whatever a bottle i could make would be equally meaningless
i could point out to you tons of mass shooters whose parents weren't psychologists but ultimately
that wouldn't really have proved any greater point other than to show that the examples that
millie or alex would be using would be cherry picked intentionally to make their argument
as opposed to being the product of thorough and methodical analysis of case studies i feel like
climate change isn't happening scientist here is a giant bag of money prove to me that climate
change isn't happening right the only reason that somebody would operate this way um uh the way that
alex is clearly describing millie is operating is because they're trying to create a distraction
absolutely anything to not talk about guns anything to not talk about radicalization both in terms of
right wing shit and in terms of misogyny all of these conversations are too threatening to the
underpinnings of the world that they profit off of so to defend that toxic hellscape you
just pitch the theory that all these shooters are the children of therapists and set out to
find a few examples to make a video about this is pathetic and transparent behavior um and uh
lame yeah lame i you know these people are such psychopaths at this point i i always wonder if
like uh mich maca like alex jones goes home and looks at rex and goes i'm helping to make sure
that you might die in a mass shooting i'm helping to make sure that the next match mass shooting
raise the risk yeah yeah i'm i'm making sure that another mass shooting is going to occur
that's my job today today is the day that i say one more mass shooting at least uh and i don't know
man it's uh it's they just don't feel well this is where we get back to that what if question yeah
it's like what if you're like what if you're just full of shit about all this what are you bringing
about what another mass shooting what anyway um in this next clip alex discusses the three
shooters from the past week or so uh and he says something about them and then realizes i should not
have said that mike down for this this is if there's a moment of levity in this it's alex's
response to realizing what road he's almost about to go down we've got the garlic shooter the
opasso shooter and the dating shooter these guys coming out of a cloning tank
i mean what the hell's going on with these boys that long pause i think is an indication that
what he had just done has been like these are all young white men
he's like look at these good point look at these three shooters from the last week they all look
the same oh oh what characteristics do they share oh no oh no oh no oh no i know it's not
funny to laugh about the you know these people being shooters but alex's like his whole thing
is so built on the defense of particularly white males he realized he accidentally stumbled on the
truth if i can if i continue to follow this thought yeah i am going to be like oh look at all these
young white men hey uh melly there's three these three guys look a lot of like do you want to start
going back through a lot of these mass shooters and see if they have a lot of things in oh we're
going to have to go to break melly you can't make videos anymore yeah melly who um so uh that's
that's kind of like the you know that's the silliness of his nonsense yeah um so i think
that alex realizes he's got to even further defend uh what he's doing and his behavior and so he again
appeals um to the past and other things that have happened so you see it's worth it to the left
to kill people to lie about wmd's to stage things and so if they lie about dead babies
and incubators or they stage other events where real people die but somebody else did it to get us
on board to their agenda then it's normal in fact you should question everything
and they caught the left we'll cover this next segment going on to all this supposed shooter
social media where he was a democrat and all that and changing it over to alex jones paul joseph
watson keelanon and donald trump and we have all the screenshots from the wayback machine
they don't even care they're getting caught so i mean that's all just the my life stuff yeah yeah
i think that that clip very neatly demonstrates alex jones manipulates people it's pretty complex
so i'm gonna take this piece by piece the first element is the completely deceptive argument
that he uh that he's just questioning an event that's bullshit he's building a case that these
shootings are false flags and he knows that's what he's doing because his shit is weak and he
doesn't want to get sued he hides behind this why is it wrong to question things for a shit
whenever all of his reporting is guiding listeners to a clearly planned conclusion
that this is a false flag and that is the work of a true coward the second element is the basic
argument he's using to justify the act of questioning things which again is not what he's doing he is
misinforming he argues that because something in the past was deceptive it stands to reason that
all future things could be and honestly i don't have a problem with that argument it's a basic
position of skepticism that's probably healthy the problem comes when we realize again that alex
is not just questioning things he's building misinformation narratives if he were questioning
things he would approach the situation from a position of caution and a hesitance to report
anything definitively instead what do we see we see alex creating a talking point that all
these mass shooters are the kids of psychologists who are probably secretly working for DARPA
and misleading his audience about the edits that were made to a my life page that the
shooter had nothing to do with this is not questioning this is misinformation propaganda
meant to guide his listeners away from the aspects of the story that are threatening to his business
his worldview and his revenue stream now he's only able to justify his argument by employing the
third element of his manipulation and that is on full display here and that is the complete
meaninglessness of terms the examples he comes up with the babies and incubators thing and weapons
of mass destruction who is responsible for those lies the first was an excuse to get into the first
gulf war and the second was a pretext for the war in iraq the first was a george hw bush
administration and the second was w bush and his administration ah but they're both globalists
well but see that's the thing in this argument alex has defined those two republican administrations
as the left yeah this is incredibly manipulative framing to call the bush administrations the left
is to give up on even the slimmest pretense that you're talking about anything real the left is
just another name for the globalists or the deep state for alex now so whatever anybody you know
whatever anybody he doesn't like did something hey it's all them it's the left this is how children
think and it's really stupid to your 45 year old man carrying on like this it's embarrassing um
but here's the thing there's no non-embarrassing way for alex to make the arguments that he's trying
to make oh no absolutely so he has to he has to do things like this and move around quick enough
and pray that people don't take the time to recognize what he's doing these are tricks he's
using tricks they're very very clear and effective unfortunately yeah yeah they're very distracting
yep because you almost didn't even catch that uh the left part um i mean i just i just filter out
whatever it is he thinks like if he says the left i'm like it doesn't fucking matter if he says
globalist it doesn't fucking matter it's anybody he feels like hating today is part of antifa
that's it that's fair yeah so um in this next clip we get to alex playing a special report that
is about how he predicted the el paso shooting uh in advance um as we said he did uh yeah we very
much said it when it uh when he was building those narratives way back when that he is pre justifying
uh a mass shooting being a false flag well certainly yeah but he did he i as i understand
at some some of the clips i had uh heard he did predict something was going to happen in el paso
but i cannot explain that entirely and i will over the course of the show um so i don't believe
that he gets credit for being psychic um but here is a bit of that uh special report two days
after alex jones predicts that false flags are going to be carried out and blamed on the qanon
movement and american patriots lone gunman patrick crucius is arrested for the el paso massacre
his social media page my life was changed to say that he was a follower of qanon
and his designation as a registered democrat was changed to republican so you can see that this
my life thing is just an essential yeah yeah yeah this is huge it's everywhere throughout the these
both of these episodes it's the bedrock of why are we questioning things well because
we're misleading you about this right um i i do not understand why you would do that unless you
are a fucking idiot well like that that whole like two days before this mass shooting happened
alex jones predicted that a false flag would right so you didn't do so you knew that some
shit was going to happen and you didn't do a goddamn thing about it does he yells about it that
so the fuck what that's not a that's not something you should take pride in i predicted that uh
that's fucking stupid he doesn't care no of course he doesn't see how that works see how that works
well the reality is that alex says that there's false flags coming literally every day yeah so
it's not that big a deal for him to have there was a propaganda narrative that was going around
that involved antifa and el paso right and that's the reason why alex said el paso when
he was talking about a coming false flag so it's just his normal there's gonna be a false flag
summer of rage it happens every single day yeah and it just so happened that he was in the middle
of working on this other propaganda narrative about antifa coming to el paso so it's it's a
confluence of events that is it creates the appearance that alex is on to something when in
reality it's the most normal thing for to expect from his show yeah and it's not that he has a very
strong predictive abilities so in this next clip there's a there's a the globalist created qanon
i don't know if you know that i did not know this is a new development this i was gonna say didn't
weren't we we've been pinging back and forth from liking to disliking qanon right for a while now
not you and i no alex alex certainly not no last i remember hearing he was anti but then he also
thought that there was some good information yeah yeah yeah out of it yeah i don't specifically
contracts uh or whatever that wasn't for you no that was for that's right those those four
chan gotcha um but qanon was on eight chan and uh bye bye i think i don't know i don't know what
the status is but i think it's gone anyway um alex thinks that the globalists created qanon
and there's a reason and they're cutting into his business nope this is a great conspiracy
if i were if i were like grading alex's conspiracies i'd be like you sat down and thought about this
for a minute at least this one's up it's not good it's still stupid but okay like compared to some
of the other like weak bullshit he tries this is at least like all right you at least have a cause
and effect here and i was just thinking about man antifa is getting ready to launch more terror
attacks how are they going to launch these attacks that have the media cover it up but then act like
it's part of a civil war they're going to need some type of right wing group that they can cut out
and blame but because libertarians and christians and conservatives know not to be offensively
violent because we're law abiding and because we understand they're trying to set us up we've
never taken the bait even when antifa attacks us but if you've got a cube movement it's perfect
to have globalist informants and foundation operatives and deep staters that are in the FBI
particularly go out reach out wind up people believing they're working with the president
to attack a dam or to go kill the gambino crime boss or to kill their brother with a sword or
whatever and it becomes this giant cauldron now because they identify whether they can then be set
up and then that can be the excuse to see oh it's not just antifa no no no q did this see that's a
good conspiracy and it's really what he should have been saying all along more or less like
because the vagueness and like the complete mystery and an anonymous aspect of q is the
sort of thing you can paint whatever you want on it right right right i think alex didn't do this
before because he was afraid of losing too much of his his audience who were into q yeah and of
course jerome coursey back when he worked for info wars was writing a fucking book about q right
right till till that would south yeah but uh yeah i think i think that this is the sort of thing
that you can you can get some mileage out of because it does it achieves the goal that you
wanted to achieve right which is um it creates a justification for all right wing violence right
more or less you can just attribute it to that it's all the left actually right all real stuff
yeah is the left yeah and then all the rest of it is also the left but they're doing it through
cubanon uh because of the mysterious anonymous nature of it yeah yeah yeah all the foundation
people can hide and it's i mean it's really it's the greatest gift alex could have ever had he's
not i don't know why he hasn't used it yet i will give you one theory on why he hasn't used it uh
because he just said that they they convinced them that they're uh convinced them into believing
they're working with the president oh sure so that kind of suggests that i might be projecting
it's very easy to uh work with the it believe that you're working with the president while
committing white terrorism it while committing terrorist acts i guess it seems it seems like
you know it definitely does yeah it seems like it would be easy alex's conception to trick yourself
into thinking that you were doing uh that for the president based on everything the president says
i'm clearly working with the president which alone is a bad sign yeah um i would say
also that it like he doesn't want to attack people who imagine that they're working for the
president because it opens too many boxes right for him about his uh tenuous association with
the white house yeah he needs people to believe that they're working for god and uh vengeance is
his say at the lord and then alex is in constant contact with the white house absolutely he doesn't
want to call that into question um so there's a lot of stupid shit that alex has been saying so far
i think uh i think i can say that with some confidence um but you should know that he's
very smart i really don't think but do you know what why he's smart uh providence he studies no
that can't be it so the study wasn't on his four ways to learn well i study things i i watch what's
happening and i saw the fbi director ray come out that's a deep stator and say white people are
terrorists they're striking everywhere they're incredibly dangerous even though the statistics
really don't even show that he gave out false statistics they ignore all the quote minority
crime against whites that is exploding because the media is promoting it we're not saying the average
minority is a bad person but the media is promoting his attacks and then i saw all the fbi reports
coming out saying the conspiracy theorists that say the clintons are involved in child trafficking
why they're gonna launch terror attacks that was clearly a cover for all the jeffrey ebsdie news
that's coming out and then i saw the fbi come out and say that is the clintons that still kind
of run most of it and say that q anon's gonna launch terror attacks with alex jones and i went
okay it's clear antifa says they're going to uh el paso they said they're gonna blow up ice facilities
they're gonna need a pretext to make it look like that's legitimate and lo and behold it happens
two days later did they blow up ice facilities while we weren't paying attention no i didn't see that
so you literally can't see things like that what he just said in that last clip on this show where
you're trying to hide behind the i'm just questioning things defense what alex jones
did right there was make a gigantic conspiracy in order to maintain his absurd and dangerous worldview
which is not the same thing as being skeptical just imagine all the things that alex needs to
substantiate to make that clip mean anything he needs to provide real crime statistics he feels
the fbi is covering up he needs to validate his contention that the crime statistics are fake
he needs to substantiate how lowering media coverage of ebsdine matters at all in terms of
his prosecution he needs to substantiate his claim that the media is promoting minority crime
against whites he needs to demonstrate the fbi director rey as a deep stator he needs to prove
that the clintons run most of the fbi he needs to specify what most of the fbi means he needs to
show a citation for where the fbi said that q anon was going to launch terror attacks with alex
jones he needs to show when antifa said they were going to blow up ice facilities he needs to show
literally any connection between the el paso shooting and antifa uh coming to el paso he needs
to do all of these things and he can do all of those things in one second hold on dan jangling
keys jangling keys he just doesn't have the time on his show because it's not four hours oh wait it
is four oh it is four hours oh all right jangling keys until he demonstrates or proves any of this
stuff it's all just rambling bullshit based on nothing none of that means anything that was a
one minute clip and there's like 10 unsubstantiated claims that he throws out in order to build his
notion that the el paso shooting was done to create a justification for antifa to attack people this
is shitty work and i need to be clear about two things one i don't need to robot any of this
it's all meaningless ramblings rolling forth on the head of a paranoid man who knows his scam is
running out of gas i don't give a shit about trying to demonstrate why this theory is stupid
it makes no sense two this is not questioning things this is a narrative that alex has built
both from his own imagination and things he probably found on fourchan or eightchan which
he's now passing off as the official unofficial story of what happened i know this is probably
getting repetitive but it needs to be said over and over again alex is not questioning things
he's creating and disseminating talking points for misinformation campaigns which is all he does
he's creating facebook arguments he's creating you post somebody post something ironically he's
not on facebook no exactly but somebody post something like we got to stop gun violence and
then here's a study and then somebody goes well it's fucking pointless and stupid and it just
keeps us from doing anything he's trying to give a little bit of like he's trying to disseminate
talking points yeah exactly that's that's all it is yep so one of the things that alex kept
bringing up i think i've mentioned this already is that the idea that prior to the shooting in
el paso antifa had announced that they were going to lay siege to el paso burn down ice facilities
and try to start a civil war i really don't remember the official spokesperson for antifa
bringing that out on account of one he doesn't exist it's antitifa and two what are you fucking
talking about yeah i mean for most of the episode he's talking about i just kind of let it slide
because i know that alex is full of shit especially when it comes to railing about antifa
yeah he just makes shit up and even when it is based on something it's based on some random
post on a message board full of nazis there's a deeply unpleasant user interface so i don't want
to dig through and try and find the fuck he's talking about but after he keeps bringing it up
i was like fuck all right let's see what he's talking about did antifa plan to invade el paso
all bite this is all based on a right wing misinformation campaign that mostly traces
back to andy no the completely neutral and very legitimate journalist who helped fuel the concrete
milkshake's narrative a little while back on july 29th andy posted a couple pictures of flyers
put out by a group called border resistance uh advertising their upcoming tour including stops
in santa cruz oakland minneapolis chicago and then their last stop in el paso on september first
andy posted these flyers with the commentary quote antifa is leading a border resistance
militancy training tour that will converge on a 10 day siege of el paso the promotional image shows
border enforcement officers being killed and government property fire bombed from there the
narrative got rolling people just started to mirror andy's framing of the event fox news used andy's
tweet as a source so they could write a story about how antifa was going to start a terror campaign
in el paso and now the narrative is found its way to alex uh and that's what he was basing his
prediction that there was going to be a false flag in el paso on according to them this was
antifa and they were coming to bomb ice buildings in el paso unfortunately all of that is right wing
propaganda bullshit the website for border resistance clearly lists the groups involved and
none of them are known to be associated with antifa which is a stupid framing of the point
since antifa isn't a centralized group in any meaningful way one of the main groups involved
the hecate society said quote we are not offering militancy training we're having educational
workshops about what's happening on the border and how to work better inside of communities
it's not militancy training in any way which was andy's framing of it well not reality but that's
because they're a preempting uh uh or or at least co-opting or maybe just full on projecting that
that's what they're doing well of course they're they're creating militant operations so they have
to attribute to the left a military operation in order to justify them creating a military
operation which is what alex is doing in that clip that i said was a fairly decent conspiracy
exactly at least cause and effect wise right uh so the hecate society said that the image that
they used on the poster uh the one of protesters shooting arrows at an ice castle uh was meant
to satire and not to imply any kind of intention of violence and that they were going to change it to
avoid any further misunderstanding which i would point out is an intentional misunderstanding
yeah and fuck that fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you the reality the reality of the
situation is that an immigrant rights group was planning a tour where they would have workshops
about how to best respond to worsening situations in their communities and around their communities
and they chose a possibly ill advised picture for their flyer from their imaginative imaginative
shitheads like andy no ran with it and created a whole narrative of planned terror campaigns and
decided to call this group antifa because it fit their pre-existing narratives this story was a lie
but it didn't get a ton of traction until after the shooting in el paso at which point it could
be incorporated into a larger conspiracy it's fascinating really now it started out as just
a way to smear and obstruct the organizing capabilities of non-white peoples trying to
protest conditions at the border and ultimately through the worst possible coincidences it turned
into a narrative that alex is using to argue that the el paso shooting is a false flag
why hey that's that's just synergy dan that's uh in their world a uh happy accident i guess
that um uh that dr seuss book oh the places you'll go comes to mind yeah i don't know why
yeah this conspiracy narrative when it's born you don't know where you're gonna go
it's uh it's bad do you see now yeah i see how it works um so in this next clip
alex uh does something he this is another really essential in uh framing for him whenever he's
trying to craft the presentation of these uh horrible events as false flags there is something
that he he has to do this is i don't know how to set this up but this is important it's their
pre-hype that's so obvious oh my god the nazis are going to be attacking any man if they're
everywhere they're trump and then it happens so what he's talking about with the pre-hype
there is that fbi memo that came out that was talking about conspiracy theory related uh
violence is a rising threat right alex jones is a painfully stupid guy but this is one of those
moments where you see how he's been pretty smart in crafting a worldview where the exact consequences
people warn his rhetoric has can be recontextualized as proof of the very conspiracies he talks about
alex is absolutely a stochastic terrorist he demonizes particular groups and individuals
he disagrees with in such a way uh that he he absolutely has to have reasonable expectation
that someone might be inspired to hurt or kill them yeah i don't believe an adult could not
understand the connection between rhetoric and possible inspiration yeah between this strategy
and the leaderless resistance organization of the right wing extremist cells it's very easy to
inspire lone wolf terrorists to action all while keeping any real fingerprints or concrete connections
to a minimum it strains my credulity to imagine alex hasn't been aware of this phenomenon for a
long time because of the lies he told about his trip to the bohemian grove he inspired a man to
show up they're heavily armed intending to kill grove attendees who alex had convinced him were
there worshiping the devil and possibly even sacrificing children to malik 37 year old richard
mccaslin calling himself the phantom patriot entered the grove explicitly hoping for a shootout
he told the san francisco chronicle quote i was expecting armed resistance and i would have
fired back if i was fired upon when sheriff's deputies found him he was armed with quote
a double barreled shotgun assault rifle hybrid a two foot long sword a 45 caliber pistol a crossbow
a knife and a handmade bomb launcher handmade bomb launcher that seems just like too much to carry
i would also guess you know the handmade bomb launcher might not have been affected i really
kind of hope should that have been field tested i imagine if he had used it we wouldn't have had
to worry about him anymore is kind of how i feel about that he would not have been uh successful
in the handmade bomb launcher situation quite possible yeah in court mccaslin testified that
he was inspired to do this from watching alex's documentary dark secrets about bohemian grove
so he quote spent a year collecting weapons and staking out the grove he said quote i was acting
on reports that inside the bohemian club were incidents of child abuse and human sacrifice
those weren't reports he was acting on they were alex's propaganda having its intended goal
the story is honestly a pathetic tale from this article of san francisco chronicle quote
mccaslin was wearing a bulletproof vest blue fatigues with phantom patriots spelled out in
red letters across the chest and a rubber skeleton mask when he crept into the grove
fuck you cosplaying pieces of shit fuck off he quickly found himself uh hopelessly lost and
bouncing off trees in the pitch dark after his flashlight went out fucking good feeling almost
silly he said he felt his way into a cabin flopped down on a cot and went to sleep the next
morning mccaslin said he discovered the club's giant owl idol and would have blown it up if he
had explosives instead he placed an old testament verse from leviticus at the base of the statue
alone with no enemy or anybody else in sight mccaslin decided to set fire to the camp's mess hall
but sprinklers quickly extinguished the flames what a what a loser oh you're pathetic it's
kind of funny the mental image of him going in and thinking he's about to get into a gunfight and
then yeah like what like his flashlight goes out and he's just like oh oh i would go to bed yeah
paul blart white terrorist like it's uh it's it's goof it's goofy but i mean it it's goofy with a
murder intent behind it it's really scary kind of goofy yeah mccaslin did all that in 2002
alex had to have known as early as then that what he was doing was playing with fire and he
doesn't care he knows the consequences of his actions he knows what could happen and he knows
what he's doing to people and it just doesn't matter to him alex knows he's not the only person
who has this effect on their audience he knows that plenty of right wing terror cells exist in
this country because he often interviews people from them he had has steward roads on from oath
keepers a ton over the years is that gavin mcginnis from the proud boys on a ton he even
pathetically tried to debate david duke on his show he knows this ecosystem exists
that he's a part of it and that there are people who are much more dangerous even than him
he knows that this country has a right wing violence program problem and he's known at his
whole career he knows that if the right law enforcement bodies started taking that problem
seriously he's completely fucked even forgetting about possible legal consequences of his actions
that could come i don't know how that would work but you gotta be kind of worried it's a
hypothetical thing but even leaving that aside if society started having the right conversation
about the nature of this form of inspiring terrorists he knows that his business model
doesn't work anymore so he preemptively attacks any attempt by law enforcement to even look at the
problem rationally we saw this with the mayak report back in 2009 and we see it here again
as the fbi is released a report discussing the connection between conspiracy theory and the
growing terrorist threat in this country he has to attack these things and pray they go away
because it's his only shot at self-preservation yeah it's exactly like the uh gun lobbies getting
a bill passed that says it's illegal to investigate gun violence you know like that's a huge win
that's a huge win for them and a huge loss for the fucking continued existence of humanity
and here's where the craft of it comes in jordan he could easily just say that they're trying to
make us look bad uh and he does that sometimes but the way he frames it here is gorgeous um the fbi
put out this report about conspiracy theorists and terrorism and then someone committed a terrorist
mass shooting a little while later well one might look at that and say that the mass shooting
validates the warning of the fbi report and demonstrates that this is a problem we should be
taking seriously and should have taken seriously long ago alex goes the other direction the fbi
report was pre-hype for the shooting so when it happened it would be blamed on people like alex
sure this is self-protection this is a man who knows that the world that he's helped create
the world of paranoid anti-government extremists is one where this is going to be uh there's
gonna be way more violence in the coming weeks and months most likely the only way to continue to own
the market space that he does as this world worsens is to do everything possible to make
sure that law enforcement doesn't take this issue seriously and the best way to do that
is to frame every attempt to take it seriously as a piece of the false flag shootings themselves
honestly this is pathetic and for where i'm sitting all its signals is fear in 2009 alex
wasn't afraid of the mayak report he saw it as a ratings bonanza his show has changed a lot
since then though and now a report like this coming from the fbi it seems like it terrifies him
yeah and i think it should because i think his show has changed i think i think i think that
uh i like it maybe in 2009 you could make an argument that fbi making a report um like the
mayak report doesn't really affect alex it doesn't really yeah no it was first of all it was only a
descriptive report it wasn't prescriptive in any way but even if it were it wouldn't really involve
him it was about actual militias it was about actual extremist cells so like
that is just red meat for him this i feel it seems very different it it seems like he recognizes
that all right this is an actual threat now yeah i and his show exists in such a way that like he
is now kind of what they're talking about oh yeah no absolutely now granted he's not in that memo by
name at all but either way no they i mean in in the wake of uh what was it the Nebraska GOP
the representative who was like hey dudes we gotta stop with this whole like let's kill immigrants
thing and the GOP party there was like register as a democrat you're out it's kind of like wow you
guys are all in on terrorism you know there's no if you're kicking people out for saying please stop
inciting terrorism that kind of suggests that you're a terrorist party or at least you just don't care
or at least you just don't care which is i i don't know i i'm in some ways worse maybe you know yeah
yeah i think from a from a moral standpoint yeah so i think uh that alex is a little bit afraid
of this memo i think it's possible um i sense his tone being a little bit different um but i also
have a strong suspicion that he also just hasn't even read it exclusive fbi document warren's
conspiracy theorists are the new domestic terror yahoo thursday q and on alex jones and it says
anyone claiming there's pedophile rings with the clinton's actually says that actually says that so
they're talking about you alex i'm positive based on that riff that alex hasn't read the fbi threat
assessment that came out uh at the end of last week but he's using it as a basis for saying that
this whole weekend's of shootings was a globalist false flags yeah uh where he's using it as like
this was the pre-hype they got it going this report came out uh it was the pre-hype as alex
saying then the shootings happened conspiracy what this fails to take into account is the fbi
didn't decide to release the report when it did it was written in may 2019 and it was clearly the
product of a bunch of research considering that it covers extremist actions from january 2008
to the present the document was released when it was because that's when yahoo news obtained it
and printed it to assert that the timing as a conspiracy is to claim that prior to may the
globalists knew that these three dudes were going to commit mass shootings when they did
so they would know when to leak the report to yahoo it's a completely absurd thing to think
when you actually take a second to stop and think about what alex is implying i mean unless you're
also including that they were already planning the attacks and so of course they knew when the three
people were going to cause these mass shootings right still crazy yeah no no don't get me wrong
still crazy i agree but that's the only way it implies such a bigger conspiracy than what it
sounds like at first when alex is pitching it yeah coming out of his mouth it sounds like no
i guess that makes sense the report came out and then there were shootings right but what that
would require is insane i'm certain that alex didn't read that report mostly because he's just
completely lying about what's in it at no point do they say that anyone who believes in conspiracies
is a domestic threat and the report doesn't mention clinton or alex once if you read the
report i do think that alex has every reason to be scared by it quote the fbi assesses in some cases
anti-government identity based and fringe political conspiracy theories very likely encourage the
targeting of specific people places and organizations thereby increasing the risk of extremist
violence against such target the fbi is mostly talking about qanon but i think that sounds
pretty much sums up how i feel about alex in the present day yep so i can't disagree with them
so they don't even get rid of the word fringe from there this report is a threat assessment
and it assesses the threat posed by anti-government identity based and fringe political conspiracy
theories to be a real one welcome to the party fbi it's probably too late to do anything about it
and i do not trust the fbi to follow through on this not even a little bit but it's a positive sign
i'll reserve judgment on this until we see more of how things play out but for now i'm gonna treat
this as it is an internal memo that doesn't necessarily change anything yeah the uh the
who was it the guy was like we're we don't want we're discouraged from doing anything about white
nationalist terrorists because we don't want trump to feel like we're attacking his base like that's a
simple encapsulation of america right that's it it's a bummer yep so the main narrative i would
say that alex is selling a lot of these things the fbi memo the talking about the babies and incubators
weapons of mass destruction madeline all bright stuff a lot of that is justification the main
narrative is that the my life profile was changed yes that's the big piece they changed it from
democrat to republican to cover the tracks blah blah blah that's his smoking you might as all be
antifa yeah so that's one and then number two is that his dad worked in psychiatry or in psychology
enough for me proven so alex gets back to that second narrative now the idea of shooters
having uh parents who were in the psych business um this isn't this isn't good yesterday on the
phone with my reporters and i and literally we're like yeah let's see if the family are working
in the psychiatric business because it's always that and maybe it's just an anomaly
you know maybe it's just that because you know document camshaft place here's here's some of
these articles this is out of psychology today harvard's experiment on the unabomber cia mind
control he fails to provide any other examples of a mass shooter whose parents were psychologists
or psychiatrists yeah but one of them was the unabomber so what does that even have to do with
anything well he well he bombed uh universities and his parents put him in mk ultra uh i mean you
know it was a summer program and they didn't want to deal with him while he wasn't in school like
that's the only thing that makes sense to me fair enough it's like boarding school the mk ultra
program so you got um you got that which is great because he's saying that there's multiple examples
he doesn't have any examples then he jumps over to distracting you with like look over here right
may i tell you about my friend the jangling keys jangling keys um and then he skips from the unabomber
over to the aurora shooter james holmes and he's already completely fucked up his conspiracies
from uh 2013 about this and he goes even farther for it like he really is adding a ton to that
conspiracy now this is an emergency situation man you gotta you gotta throw everything in the
kitchen sink yeah you understand the aurora shooter told gelmates i was drugged up i've been
electro shocked i'm in a DARPA program and i blacked out and i don't know what happened but please
get me out of here they're gonna kill me it turned out he his dad runs the DARPA nasa human brain
interface with computer program including electrodes in the brain that was 12 years ago
wherever was that happened you can't make that then they what what what is he talking about yeah
you can't make that stuff up dan you can't assume if you just google who his dad is you'll find that
he's the head of the nasa brain interdimensional travel project of uh uh 2028 that wasn't that
wasn't part of the narrative like that wasn't part of the conspiracy theories at all back
when alex was going over this stuff and also that 12 years ago timeline doesn't work out
because that would have been 2007 and that was before the shooting that shooting took place in
2012 yeah so the aurora gunman james holmes his dad his name was robert holmes he uh testified
at his son's trial and in the course of the investigation a lot of information became publicly
available about him he was a retired financial analyst working in the field of credit card
nasa he was a nasa financial credit analyst he did not work for nasa in mind melding or
whatever the fuck alex is rambling about his mother arlene was a nurse so that's in the healthcare
field nurse a financial analyst to the stars i don't think that's what alex is talking about
doubt there's a large chasm between nasa mind control expert and registered nurse okay uh
uh let me try and bridge that with uh darpa darpa darpa i think what's going on here is really
simple actually and it might demonstrate how stupid alex jones is and how dumb he thinks his
listeners are there's another guy named robert holmes who was an amateur astronomer who was a
subject of some human interest stories uh that it came out in 2007 which is 12 years ago just in
the time frame of what alex is talking about so he's got some shitty googlers working for him and
that's what we're doing now that's where we're living now that's the world we're living in so
this other robert holmes was so good at watching the skies that nasa gave him a grant to do it full
time so he could quit his day job which led to a lot of feel good press around it because it was
this guy who just was passionate right about astronomy right and nasa was like you're so good
at this we want you to be able to do it on your own right um but as a job which is so cool that is
very cool i i man with the telescope should really look into that bruce sees all yeah yeah no nasa
grants for him i'm doubtful honestly this might be generous of me to assume that alex is talking
about this like it legitimately might be that he just made this up but entirely pause enough details
are similar same name as his dad time frame being like relevant to like when the this grant right
story was coming about there are enough coincidences there to uh to give you a pause before dismissing
it as a as a an outright coincidence but whatever the case it's not true of the aurora shooter
this is alex just talking shit that's fucking stupid financial analyst irritating yep so um alex
in this next clip we already heard him at the beginning of the episode say he doesn't know what's
going on um and he repeats that and then gets close to what might be what do you want to call it
flippant libel okay all right flippant slander okay so i don't know what's going on
i just know oh this the shooter's dad was ptsd expert had a two-year degree but was above
a bunch of psychiatrists with 10 years of education running pentagon programs in dallas oh okay well
why is it always that well why why why why is oh but daddy's also a new age guru
it's always the same like sandusky's a new age guru see what i'm sure there's nothing going on here
everything's fine nothing to look at here anymore i feel like what he's heavily implying is some sort
of like he abused his son or mind controlled him like i think i would i would assume he's trying
to describe him as having like fucking his i mean if you're going to compare him to sandusky yeah
that's the only why why else because he's a good football coach like what are you fucking doing
yeah i it's close there's no other thing he's known for other than being a pent state football
coach 100 percent there's no other thing but i'm saying i think alex is real close to that line
here like if he continues down this path he's going to be behaving in the exact same way
as he did towards the family members of victims of uh sandy hook yeah and countless other things
i think someone around him better stop him i i don't don't don't slander us come on come on
is it good give me one give me one so the shooter's dad had uh and does have a master's degree which
is all his line of work requires he apparently also practiced some non-traditional medicine
which is why alex is calling uh him a guru right all this is complete bullshit and alex needs to
calm the fuck down pretending that a veterinarian and chiropractor uh pretending they were actual
doctors is what bought him a house so you can take that tone and shove it right up his ass
i don't give a fuck about your impugning this guy's uh mental health credentials uh chiropractors
have to have a do they even have to have there's a special degree yeah yeah that's a that's an
issue but it's it's it's more legitimate than oh for sure for sure than like a homeopath yeah
yeah also are a natural path whatever the fuck also i found the article that alex is reading
there uh it's it's on the inquisitor and he just doesn't know how to read uh this is really a big
problem he's saying that the father was over pentagon programs in dalis but the actual sentence
that he was reading was quote uh that uh the the dad was quote a facility director of da pa
psychiatric programs in dalis dappa alex thought it said no no no no no no no no no no no no no
alex thought it's no no no no no that's too stupid that's too stupid that's too stupid i
don't know i know it's true it is but that's too stupid it said dappa and he thought it said dappa
that's so stupid dappa stands for drug and alcohol program advisor because he works in addiction
medicine works in addiction alex is legitimately the most embarrassing person to study in the world
you always want there to be something interesting at the root of his lies but sometimes he just
doesn't know how to cold read yeah this is embarrassing alex lame shit if you are listening
you are a cowardly moron you fucking piece of shit so in this next clip alex gets a guest
i haven't heard this guy on before but man he has got the lamest voice okay i hate to critique
people for their their voice because a lot you know a lot of that you can't really control
i would never critique him for his voice if this wasn't a completely fake voice okay i just wanted
to bring up one thing i have yet to find a shooter and obviously we're still learning about these two
nut cases from the last 24 hours but i've yet to find a shooter who was not on ssri's or some form
of brain altering chemical in the short time that i've been following this i'm sure in your 25
years you have yet to see a single shooter who did not have some kind of brain altering chemicals
shrinking their grain i mean that's it and almost always their parents are psychologists are in
so now we've got that reinforced so alex is really crushing it with the big name relevant
guests this day uh these days this is a guy named tom pappert uh i'm guessing that robert barnes
thought the block was too hot and count dankula was busy so alex got tom pappert to come in this
is uh this pappert guy he runs a twitter page called the honest media and it is a ghost town
it's just dumb maga retweets being spammed out to his less than 400 followers i guess he's relevant
here because he created a facebook page called god emperor trump which seems healthy uh i don't
like that uh i would like him to be eaten by sandworms so there's something similar there
his linkedin page has a bio on it and it's just quote as seen on the alex jones show and then
in parentheses lol i'm not sure what the lol is supposed to mean there but whatever ah man
you guys gotta figure out humor yeah the right is not doing well tom pappert has that dumb maga
radio voice i've come to hear so often from these guys with aspirations of starting their own media
outlets on youtube i swear that vocal cadence he's putting on is all over the place it's like these
dumb dumps don't realize that people doing the impressions of the eighties and nineties dj bullets
they're making fun of it yeah i know it's not like hey that voice is cool hey we're gonna be out here
out the way like yeah no you're fucking stupid anyway tom pappert opens up his appearance on the
show by saying that he's never heard of one single case where a shooter was not on psych meds and to
that i say you should probably shut the fuck up because all you're really saying is that you've
never looked into it yeah it's so manipulative to be like i don't know anything about this topic but
you should probably accept my blanket assertion about it why isn't anybody who's uh supporting
islam why aren't they coming out and condemning these acts of terrorism very similar nobody ever
does that's what you look in the media and you never see it all you're doing is showing your own
stupidity and saying i don't know what i'm talking about tom asked for one example so i guess i can
start with 15 year old jared michael pageant who killed a fellow student wounded a teacher and then
killed himself back in 2014 actually uh he can't start there uh he can get to that right after he
goes and straight up fucks himself this level of irresponsible bullshit misinformation particularly
after a weekend of such tragedy is seriously dangerous and for him to have no information
to base his point on uh and make it anyway is legitimately the act of a sociopath yeah no i
don't understand it's one thing to have a point i guess it would be hard to make this point yeah i
don't know i can't defend it never mind no i don't understand how we're not having the conversation
that all of these people are complicit in these mass shootings well because no one's ever heard of
tom papper yeah well i was uh it was it he's not related to tom papa no very funny comedian tom papa
no so according to a 2015 study by dr peter langman who runs school shooters that info 73
percent of cases of high school shootings that he studied involved shooters who were not on any
psychiatric medication at all nor had they ever been that number dropped to 71 percent when he
looked at college shooters and 59 percent uh in the stray adult cases that he included in his studies
even if the number went down as the perpetrator got older the vast majority of cases did not
involve shooters who were on psych meds some of the higher profile cases involve people who had
histories on meds but not all of them do for instance in the case of columbine eric harris
was on psych meds but dylan kleibold wasn't how does that affect her into this overly simplified
stupid narrative that they sell psych med by osmosis by proxy you can you can if he touches
your hand you get psych med on you you've got munchausen and psychs yeah um one of munchausen
psych also i i was looking into this there's this insane thing where like right wing sites and like
these anti psych med sites were like yeah eric harris is on psych meds but dylan's records have
never been released and they they have oh fuck you so they're pretending that there's a cover up
because it doesn't match the information get the fuck out yeah it's wild i am not going to engage
with an argument until you're fucking it oh god so look here's the deal these people don't know what
they're talking about ever tom pappert is saying that he's never heard of a shooter who wasn't on
psych meds and when most uh when most of them aren't in his defense he is deaf oh that's a good
theory that explains the voice that's the only thing that he's only heard of them uh because
there's a huge talking point in the right wing conspiracy world most likely because it's an
extension of the globalists are trying to pacify everyone with meds so they can take over and make
a one-world uh government narrative and throw a little anti-vax stuff in there too get it on
anti science anti medicine yeah put it on there if you only take in media through the lens of
liars like alex you get the sense that hey all these shooters seem to be on psych meds if you
look at reality you see that alex is lying to you and it's not hard to see why people like him
are lying also i'm still waiting for alex to give me one more example of a shooter whose parents
are in the psychological community i'm sure there are some but he steadfastly refused to give me
even one example um so i choose that to uh mean not good things for his argument so tom pepper
sucks a little bit i was wondering like why is he on the show i mean i know that he does this god
emperor trump account and like that makes some sense but like it really shouldn't be that easy
it's not that easy to rock a ride that's right on time it's tricky and it's tricky to get booked on
alex jones's show here's what you have to do tom papper was a great patriot he heads up some of the
biggest pro trump sites out there which is important because they can censor everybody off facebook
twitter youtube but info wars dot com news wars dot com that's really important because then people
have their own sites and he's also the manager of one of the great tv stations we're on oh okay
there we go he's the manager of one of the great tv stations we're on there we go that solves problems
yeah that that makes that's why you're having this really quick yeah this completes zero on
your show yeah yeah um so we you know the the prevailing consensus is that this uh shooter in
el paso released this manifesto and it's being treated pretty roundly as his actual manifesto
and if it's too believed i think the assumption can easily be made
that he is inspired by a lot of the very similar motivations that are amplified by people like
alex check people like tucker carlson people all over the right um so you have that perception
and that's what's being discussed in a lot of the more sensible areas right of the internet
but tom pepper man he knows that this guy was not right wing he knows okay and here's his evidence
he look at his linkedin profile he doesn't have any second amendment stuff on there
he doesn't have any alex jones quotes on there but somehow they managed to learn all this it's
absolutely fascinating so in order in order for him to define somebody as a right winger they
must have second amendment stuff or alex jones quotes on their linked fucking in page i didn't
see either of those necessarily on his i just saw i was on the alex jones show lol Jesus christ
this is a real stupid that's your standard of proof huh but i mean i just i you know play stuff
like this to like this is the stupid shit these people are saying yeah at what point are we gonna
really get into it like if you can't yell fire in a crowded theater what when are we going to
deal with obfuscation being applied to mass shooters and you're complicit like there's no way
and i get maybe the reporting side there's a first amendment argument but the opinion side
it's it's got to be we've got to start prosecuting these people and then you're like oh no they're
gonna scribe you my free speech by itself they already fucking are well and it's not happening
so fucking do it well but also i mean what you're getting at there too is the kind of important
point and that is that we already have qualifications about free speech that have to do with mitigating
damage yep you can't do things that cause harm to people with your speech you can't threaten to kill
people you can't extort people through your words you should be able to it's free speech yeah you
can't do those things those are crimes you yell fire in a crowded building or whatever you cause a
stampede you could be held responsible for your words legally yep so there is already a precedent
that some sorts of speech do cause the kind of damage that we do not believe that it's protected
right so i mean it's just a conversation and i don't think it's as simple as like as saying like
these words hurt somebody therefore they're bad no they're not legal absolutely no i don't think
it's that simple i think it's a hard conversation that we all need to have like i think i think
that if we're going to help this problem that is that is a priority conversation to have
so we can get the sense of where people land on it i think absolutists are probably going to get in
the way yeah and i think that maybe unsurprisingly and maybe sometimes their absolutism about free
speech really belies other priorities yeah that they're trying to hide behind free speech to defend
right i think that's the case with alex yeah absolutely absolutely these people know what
they're doing so also this episode is really weird to me because i kind of expected to get in and it
be a lot of the stuff about the el paso shooter a lot of stuff about the datan shooter i expected
to be largely focused on that and alex doesn't talk about a ton of it like he does absolutely and a
lot of the stuff is related to those things but a lot of the things that i think are the most
interesting things he says are side points kind of okay sense yeah yeah that belie incredibly
fucked up positions yeah in this next clip uh that we're going to listen to here i think he's
advocating for retaining the death penalty but his reasoning for it is ludicrous it was a middle
game parton was the former head of air force weapons development he was retired three star general
and he said alex they get rid of the death penalty in countries that communists are about to take it
over because they know they can have their own communist stage terror attacks blaming on the
nationalist and then they got out of jail later and i was like really and see so think about the
really smart ones don't just do a jesse small it where nobody attacked him they actually do the
real attack with their cohorts sometimes people go to jail and play the part of a nationalist
you see how that works that's the next level of this but you see how that works i know so we
have no idea how that works dad so now it's important to retain fucking capital punishment
because if we don't then the communist agitators will know that they can commit whatever crimes
blame the nationalists and they'll just go to prison and blah blah blah they'll get out yeah wow
i want to say uh i understand some of that oh i mean i it doesn't make a goddamn better sense
and he can go fuck himself no absolutely what the fuck are you even talking about here's the
position i'm coming from i understand exactly what he's saying oh yeah i just don't understand why he
believed yeah yeah exactly betton k parton told me this shit jesus dude um yeah i don't i don't
think that's a good reason to keep the death penalty around i feel like there's so many
problems with the administration and uh you might as well and in his in that sentence you might as
well be like we need to keep the death penalty around because if we don't the snorks are going
to come to real life and they're going to attack us all and take our shoes away you talk to betton
k parton i had i did he was a retired air force general talking to me about snorks um
i think that all this is uh is that there's a conversation that's starting up about how
trump wants to bring back the federal death penalty yeah and alex needs a defense for that
and because the defense he's decided to go in whatever that's pretty lame i think you like i
don't know this to be a hundred percent sure but everything i understand about his earlier positions
i think they would be very anti the death penalty yeah it seems like that would be in line with his
more libertarian stance and and also just the government shouldn't be allowed to kill people
yeah i don't know but now he's fine with keeping them in cages and letting them die in there so
who gives a shit so that's one thing that i found that i was like holy shit what are you doing this
is nuts um and and in this next clip uh remember earlier i mentioned that he needs to no it was a
long time ago i mentioned that he needs to substantiate some of these stats that he uses
yes yes in this next clip i'm thankful that he tries sort of uh but he also fails but having the
fbi come out last week along with the fbi director and say white people are the threat white people
are the racist when the statistics don't even show that i mean i'm not being mean because
it's still a low statistic but you got a 10 times chance of your white being attacked or robbed or
killed by a black person you got a 10 times chance of your black being killed by a black person
doesn't mean average black person is a criminal it just means there's a certain percentage that's
super criminal and believes that's okay to do because whatever reason but you see it's all
how they play games with the statistics swing and a miss it's hot it's all about how they play
games with statistics he's playing a game here he's fucking it up whoa so it's almost breathtakingly
unsettling to hear alex make literally no differentiation between white supremacist groups
and white people he hears the fbi director say that white supremacist groups are committing
more violence and the way alex reports that is that he thinks the fbi director is saying
that white people are bad and a threat i don't think it's an unfair reading of that to say
that alex jones seems to think that being white and being white supremacist are the same thing
and that's a deeply disturbing thing to hear from someone who's so clearly into white identity
yeah we uh yeah yeah yeah you were you were uh like uh what was it uh was it the crossover
episode we did where i said he thought we were race traders and you were you were a little bit like
whoa hold on you're like you and on and on oh he's he thinks we're race traders then probably
at the end of that clip there he accuses the fbi of playing games with statistics playing games
with statistics which is funny because just before that that's exactly what he was doing
exactly when the fbi is discussing a rise in white supremacist violence they're talking about
crimes that were specifically motivated by white supremacy not crimes that white people do where
a non-white person is the victim if a white guy robs someone who happens to be black and in the
process kills them that's not necessarily a crime motivated by white supremacy so it wouldn't be
included in their statistics it's very easy to understand this is elementary stuff yeah it is
not hard and the fact that fact that alex is operating on this completely infantile level
means that he either doesn't know anything about what he's talking about or he's confident that
no one listening does it kind of makes sense why he always screams about how the main street media
thinks the public is dumb that's really just him projecting his own feelings about having cultivated
such a stupid uncritical audience yeah i imagine stefan malinu feels the same way a lot of the time
probably bangs his head on that vent a lot yeah the bureau of justice statistics released a report
in 2017 that analyzed connections between violent crime offenders and violent crime victims they found
that you're overwhelmingly more likely to be a victim of a violent crime perpetrated by a person
of the same race as you then by someone of a different race if you're white you're four times
more likely to be the victim of white on white crime then uh black on white crime what alex is
saying is not true and it is a racist talking point this is just super racist shit that alex is
saying on its face this is what this is is a misuse of statistics in the name of creating a racist
talking point uh which is then being used to somehow deflect attention away from the very real
fact that white supremacist violence is on the rise the adl identified 50 extremist related
murders in the united states in 2018 the highest number since 1995 when the oklahoma city bombing
happened uh and this was a 35 percent increase from 2017 every single one of those extremist
related murders was carried out by extremists with links to right-wing groups all of them
when fbi director ray gets up and says that they're seeing an increase in cases involving white
supremacy related violence that's why there are more cases because there are more crimes alex
knows uh that he can't have this conversation on real terms because reality does show that right
wing white supremacy motivated violence is on the rise so he moves the goalposts and it's not
surprising that he chooses to move the goalposts into outright racist talking points like black
on white crime it's because he's a huge racist yeah another thing alex probably doesn't want to
address is a recent study that came out of the university of north texas researchers compared
counties where trump held his rallies in 2016 with completely comparable counties with similar
populations racial demographics location level of known active hate groups etc they found that
counties that hosted a trump rally saw a quote 226 increase in reported hate crimes over similar
counties that did not hold a rally but that's probably a coincidence oh or maybe maybe jordan
it's just that the globalist reported a ton of fake hate crimes in the counties where trump held
his rallies so some political science professors could uncover those statistics two years later
that's probably what happened that's the only explanation that i think makes any sense because
these globalists are sneaky they're sneaky do you see now do you see how it works do you see how it
works yeah mother assholes that uh that that uh sums it up um so if uh you know if you need to
i think we all at this point probably need to get this out like a little bit of a pallet cleanser
we're all not feeling great probably a little bit mad at alex think he's doing a terrible job
so if we want some if we want some schadenfreude uh just a little bit i invite you all to enjoy
what i'm going to describe as one of the least inspired plugs i've ever heard him give other
talk show host plug every segment because everybody knows the real advertising is during the show
well whatever we had a big sale last week it's extended a few more days we got to end it it's the
giant mega sale save info or sale stop the clowns when we covered the whole debate sale
50 to 60 percent off store-wide info or store.com double patriot points in your next order
who gives a shit wow that's uh that's uh whatever that is that is a man circling the
fucking drain if you recall last we left off in the present day episodes alex was talking
about how if he doesn't sell out the warehouse you might be done yep he has not sold out the
warehouse doesn't seem like it the uh save page save the info wars special is extended another
few days yeah but it's his fourth of july special as well well there is a new special oh yeah yeah
easter uh no he does announce it i don't think i have a clip of it it's the anniversary of him
getting banned from facebook sale oh man oh man it's the banniversary uh-huh oh boy it starts
up a day after this or whatever whenever it this one ends whatever the save info war sale ends
the banniversary sale ends with the same exact price exactly yes okay there we go that's what i
thought 50 for 60 percent of everything free double patriot points absolutely when he was
listing off the new special like you just changed the name yep this is ridiculous Jesus Christ yeah
so good i we can all enjoy that a little bit yeah um so at this point i think alex is kind of bored
with tom pappert uh they do not have good surprise yeah i find him to be a chore um so alex goes to
calls and i'm playing this call because you should man because we should all be afraid
very very afraid yeah i'm afraid of this caller it is is it actually fucking anders brevic for
christ sake no i don't know if he has a long distance that's tough although it is very nice
sell apparently but uh he you know this caller is scary and then secondarily the fact that alex
doesn't hang up on him immediately also scares the shit out of me how you doing alex good brother
hey man i've i've experienced this myself and i was ready for it uh i was in a cybernetic
program in the army i should say that he's talking about the the idea that these shooters are mind
control right right he experienced that himself because he was in a cybernetic program yes that
makes sense so i'd already been through something similar to what they're doing to these people
and uh you can youtube targeted individuals and just look at the people that are given their
testimony there and it'll show you how this mindheim technology is creating transhumanist
which all of the media all of the media is trans you know that the supposed aurora shooters dad
ran the DARPA program and he the son was in it and he said he was under mind control
look that is a misdirection i guarantee you that everybody has this nano technology that's driving
these people these days and if you want to see that's the problem this is going back and forth
you've got these different nano mafias and everybody tries to pin it on the other people
with technology and well said that they'll leave little details in there like that that set people
up and it goes back and forth back and forth and nobody wants to talk because if it does it
buries all of them all right and i've had to deal with this this technology came here and tried to
turn me into an operative and if you ever want somebody to give you a uh an interview and tell
you exactly how this stuff operates i'll be more than happy to do it alex and well god bless you
brother give us your info let me ask tom papper what yeah what what hold on i know that's a brush
off yeah yeah but no yeah jesus so there's nano mafias there are nano mafias i've always known
are they small people in mafias or are they mafias that are small i believe from context clues
that what he's saying is that everybody has a chip in them everybody's got a chip in them
and then there's these these nano mafias that control certain people like this this mafia controls
billion people yeah this mafia controls a billion people and they're at war with each other
using the people whose chips are in them yeah against each other yeah that's what i hear that
guy saying and i'm just like i thought he was just talking about how everybody in the media is
transhumanist with well that's in there too okay well yeah okay of course of course well that one
i should have taken his red sure if we've got nano mafias we're all in trouble james holmes is dead
is a DARPA mind control guy but that's a misdirection it is it is he's part of the nano mafia this guy
holy shit uh you know it would have been fun it would have been fun i want to hear that call
on a show in 2009 i would we could have had a great time i would rather hear that guy get a show
than barns yeah um so at the beginning of tom pappert's appearance he showed up and he said
i've never heard of a shooter who was on uh who wasn't on psych med right and now as we close the
interview with tom pappert here's his tone he's changed it ever so slightly the way he's presenting
the information it's irresponsible to not point out that every major mass shooter again
the information has not come out about these two most recent ones but virtually every single
mass shooter has been on some type of prescription mind altering chemical drug and ssri anti-depressants
something like that it so the first time he was saying i've never heard of one who wasn't i don't
know i haven't looked into it too deeply now he's saying virtually all of them it's irresponsible
to not point out the virtually yeah virtually so you see the ever so slight qualify that statement
just a little bit but it's also making it much more of a declarative thing as opposed to i don't
know uh that's how this works by degrees you go from you uh you acclimate to a narrative and then
set it up and then say it's yours with a slightly different variation on it to cover your ass so
we got one last clip of alex here from this uh fourth show august fourth and i i mentioned this
at the beginning of the show he almost doesn't bring up the date and shooting at all and i think
that's really weird i think it's a little bit weird it is but i have some other thoughts on it
which i'll get into in the next uh episode as we go over the next episode um but as he closes the show
um i think i'm only i don't know why i'm playing this clip i think it's upsetting uh it has nothing
to do with the shootings um i think this is just deeply upsetting to show that whether or not this
is sincere this is the way alex wants to present that his mindset is and that to me is just deeply
deeply disturbed i'm a selfish person i'll tell you i need your prayers because the enemy is attacking
all my family because they they're trying to get me but my they're attacking all my family so people
just pray for my family that would be really good i'm not trying to be a wimpier or a victim
it's just that my family and and i'm and i'll be honest they need to burn burn them you know
i mean god knows that the enemy knows like if my family's got to get burned and all this i'm not
happy about it but it's gonna happen because i'm gonna lose them anyways better they get burned
up right now but they're coming after my family politically psychically it's not fun and and
i'm not i'm not i'm not a wimp about this but i'm glad you're dialed in brother because it's
really painful to put it on the line but you know what we're never gonna get across the line if we
don't put our family on the line does that make sense well i'm fighting for my 10 year old that's
for sure i'm fighting for my son in his future still talking to a caller that's really fucked up
i don't i don't i really really really don't like the mindset that's being set there because
whether or not alex is sincere about that in terms of his family who knows yeah he could just be
bluffing and talking braggadocious because he knows that at the end of the day there aren't
real stakes for him he's talking bullshit this is he's not up against some kind of fucking new
world order one world government some kind of like assassins psychically trying to take him out
nothing like that it's all bullshit he knows that all this is is like entertainment and performance
yeah so whether up against filing chapter 11 as well as up against well but that's the thing is
like i can't say with any certainty whether or not he believes his own narratives enough to actually
be feeling that way or whether it's entirely performative but what i do know is that by talking
like that he is making it okay for his audience to feel like that yeah he is normalizing the idea
of like well if your family's got to be sacrificed it's yeah i am a leader in this community and
that is the way i view our struggle and so you need to get yourself to a point where your families
can burn if they got to yeah it's it backs up his whole or maybe it more aptly fits in with his whole
where we're fighting a holy war situation like if god is involved and god knows everything and your
family gets taken away that means that your family was meant to get taken away and you should still
be willing to sacrifice everything because god is there for you and they're gonna get their reward
in heaven which is totally not 72 virgins it's a completely different reward in heaven i i yeah i just
i don't know it's it's unsettling it's unsettling to hear stuff like that and i think that this is
probably one of the longest times we've spent on a sunday episode and i think it's because
alex is grappling to try and understand how to proceed after this shooting in el paso yeah
and i think that because of the the freshness of it because of how he operates we're able to
really see a lot of illuminating points about how this propaganda works and i think it's
it's i think it's worthwhile to take the time to get into that yeah now i just keep thinking about how
like the thought that keeps coming into my head is how many sanctions the us would put on a country
with our current government so many fucking sanctions an interesting thought interesting
thought maybe an embargo yeah exactly they blockade around us yeah yeah um so when i was going over
this i was like fuck this is so much there's there's a lot to get into and a lot of it is
side issues to the to the shooting like do i not get into this like i think that all the side issues
kind of relate back a little bit to the mindset that alex is in and how this is unfolding
absolutely i felt like there there wasn't really a good option in front of me but i also knew that
there was more news that happened by the fifth and alex would have had to like be aware of more
of the fullness of the situation of the multiple uh events and um and so i felt like it would be an
incomplete thing if we didn't get into the fifth so i was struggling with it and i thought like
okay maybe we should do two episodes and put them both out on on wednesday yeah and what i decided
is that's stupid let's just do a long episode yeah if we're gonna do two and put them out on the
same day might as well do one and especially as i got through the fifth as i started getting into
that i realized that so much of it would be relying on things we talked about it in the
coverage of the fourth it didn't make sense to do it separately so anyway i mean maybe do a
couple policy walk shout outs now i was thinking about doing uh interlude music yeah but when
have we ever let's all go to the love when have we ever gilded the lily like no never so here is
alex starting out the fifth uh monday episode um and i think it says all you need to know
uh
i don't know uh exactly what's going on in el paso okay
i was like this music is taking a while and and that's not all of it there is a full minute of
music at the beginning really really jesus christ and i think that that i don't really know what's
going on el paso i think that's a part of a like pre-recorded special report because it then goes into
like a special report so i don't think that alex just said that and then started one i think they
just played a bunch of music probably alex was like yeah i fucking play special i don't want to do
the yeah i don't want to do the five minutes that doesn't go out on most radio stations
fuck it play john bound's report bury him so i just like that jam too that's pretty it gets me a
little and you like i do okay all right in terms of alex jones's intro music that's up there it's
certainly no policy of truth but it's still pretty good so um we get back into this episode alex
comes in he's actually in studio and uh we got an interesting uh the thing here where alex once again
needs to deflect from the fact that there is this gun violence in these these shootings
and he does so by pointing again to mexico most of the deaths were caused though by firearms
and mexico has a complete ban on the civilian ownership of firearms but mexico has a crime
rate and a firearms death rate that is the second highest in the world only after guatemala that also
has a total ban on guns so um you know alex is playing really fast and loose here again like he
he's really irresponsible with a lot of these times he cites anything like what is he saying
is he saying that the crime rate in mexico is the second highest in the world or that the gun rate
gun death rate is is he saying both like it's unclear what are you saying i'm not too positive
that i care to compare countries by crime rates i just don't know if that's a really productive
statistic to use as a measuring sticks and different countries have different laws so
something that's a crime in country a might not be in country b similarly different countries have
variably functional criminal justice systems and varying degrees of systematic corruption so
i'm not positive that comparing crime rates is going to be the best use of our time also even if
you met it meant anything there's no way in hell mexico's crime rate is the second highest in the
world and there's even less of a chance that guatemala is number one did alex forget how
many countries there are in the world they forget about all the countries in africa and
the middle east that he loves to demonize so much like what is he doing i i find it to be a
specious and stupid argument to even bring that up just because that is like saying well
he's not talking about a country he's talking about its people he's not saying right mexico
has a crime problem he's saying mexicans have a prime problem have a crime problem somewhat but
it's weird that it doesn't even track with his other sort of perception yeah yeah but i mean now
he's he's he it's off the top of the dome i guess so he's just like whatever he has a you know
whatever's in front of my face at any given point in time i can remember and then beyond that i'm
sure you know i also have no idea where alex is getting his numbers from but mexico having the
second highest gun death rate behind guatemala because he never cites where he's getting it from
and i can say that i've poured over data from npr tons of news stories the journal of the american
medical association and none of them come close to matching what he's saying i do not accept his
point which is to say i think he's making that shit up countries like honduras have way higher
gun death rates than mexico and it's totally illegal to buy and own guns there it doesn't matter
all this is just a ploy he's using to try and argue that we shouldn't take gun violence in the
united states seriously because we don't get all bent out of shape every time someone in mexico
gets shot and fair play to him sort of i mean people absolutely should care a lot about the
violence in other countries and particularly we should care about the ways in which our countries
foreign policy is affecting the violence in those countries i think there's a lot of credible
credible voices uh out there speaking on this topic and i just don't think that alex a guy who
overtly supports bolson aro and has been vocally in favor of regime change in venezuela is the sort
of guy i want to listen to on that subject bolson aro who came out and said that he hopes all criminals
are shot dead in the streets hey yeah crime rates yeah also there's a gross irony that every single
fucking thing that alex is about everything he's about is america first everything is about
our sovereignty and fuck the rest of the world until the conversation becomes about gun violence
in america and then we got a deflect so weird so weird odd so weird so weird uh man so uh in this
next clip he begins to finally talk about uh the shooting and dating and um of course it's just
deflections right right right um but he also is trying really hard to tie the el paso and
dating shootings together okay that's important for him now in every case where they have social
media that we're able to see these shooters are obsessed with shoot them up video games
they're in cells they all basically look the same and they say that they're in to the occult
almost all of them there was another shooter a few years ago remember down by galveston south
of houston and he was into satanism and he was mad at everybody well guess what the individual who's
a big antifa leftist on his facebook on his instagram paul watson's written a big article
about it with screenshots of it said i love satan i hate christians i hate trump supporters
and so he was wearing a mask and ear protection and all the rest of it just like the other shooter
in el paso texas isn't that interesting isn't that interesting so one thing that i find very
interesting about these two shootings happening in the span of a few days was that it offered a
really interesting glimpse into how different groups of people take in information when the
information was coming out in the case of the el paso shooter that he'd been involved you know
there was a lot of posts on a chan that he'd released a manifesto clearly laying out that he
was doing his shooting as a political statement against the immigrants who he felt were invading
the country there was a response he was a terrorist well sure yeah you know he was saying himself
putting out that yes again we're working under the assumption that the manifesto is a hundred
percent real which i think that there's good reason to believe that to be the case even if it's not
100% concretely sure but you know so that caveat aside you know that was the conversation that
people were having there is a clear motivation that was behind it and people were on the left
were quick to point out that the rhetoric was nearly identical to the rhetoric that's put out by
trump and fox news and they probably would have said alex jones too but no one really cares too
much about him anymore except us yeah they pointed to a trend of people online particularly on han
and gab who are radicalizing each other and how this trend is something that would be unwise to
think stops here unless we take things seriously people in the right wing world were defensive
as we saw in the last episode with alex yeah because of course they were but this is an
important distinction i don't think that anyone i saw commenting on this was really trying to
connect the el paso shooter to trump and the world of right wing propaganda based on superficial
similarities it's not like you wore a maga hat in one picture and everyone was like aha that's why
he did it the connection was made because in that manifesto is clearly expressed why he did the
shooting and the reason for doing it is you know a central talking point of all these right wing
media outlets the demographic fear uh propaganda of quote-unquote americans being replaced by
immigrants is the bread and butter of alex jones uh talking points uh i always call turning
points talking points very different uh talker carlson and countless other outlets yeah the
important connection is that the guy uh isn't that the guy possibly liked alex jones or paul
joseph watson it's that he was motivated to commit his crime by the same erroneous and and white
nationalist rhetoric that they make a living off disseminate yeah when the Dayton shooting happened
it was very interesting to see how these very same groups responded to a different set of
circumstances again i'm not saying any of this as if i'm making a universal claim that every person
on each side of the ideological spectrum behaved a certain way but generally what i saw was one side
go 180 and the other side reflect when information started to come out that the shooter in Dayton
wasn't a right wing extremist worried about the invasion and quotes of immigrants and that his
politics might have been to the left the right wing propagandist who are running interference for
trump a day earlier and saying that just because he loved trump doesn't mean they're guilty for
the shooting immediately flipped the script and started saying that this was an antifa lunatic
and started blaming all leftists the surface level details were in their favor on this one so they
did what they always did attack conversely what i saw from people on the left was uh the exact same
level of horror and heartbreak that they felt for the people in al Paso but with a layer of
introspection there was an acceptance that just because this person is on your side ostensibly
politically it doesn't mean that they might not also be a murderer and i saw people trying to make
sense of that throughout the day as more information became available a clearer picture took shape it
became increasingly clear that the shooter was a dangerous misogynist a classmate of his from
high school told the daily beast that she called the police after he started uh she started getting
texts from him about how she was on his quote rape list she told the daily beast quote i was not
surprised at all when i heard his name on the news yesterday we all predicted he would do this 10
years ago when she called the police uh back in high school he got a slap on the wrist over the
threats and because they weren't taken more seriously and the process didn't go through he was still
able to buy guns for the most part i saw people taking stock of how even in presumably uh progressive
communities there's still a lot of unaddressed uh and under addressed problems misogyny is not a
right left problem and i saw many people taking note of this and discussing it i don't know like he
might have had a undiscovered manifesto about metaphor Medicare for all uh being behind his
shooting but until that comes to the surface it just doesn't appear that the date and shooting
was motivated by his politics which is a big distinction it's not really a productive discussion
just to know who did something it's important to get into the why of it it really feels deeply
inappropriate to make these situations analogous the way alex is doing trying to make them the
same i've researched a ton of killings for this podcast and the Dayton one kind of fits more into
the mold of the non-political versions of this which is to say that uh there's a history of
violence directed towards women in his past from everything i can tell that's what's going on here
yeah it's a truth that we've mentioned uh over and over and over again is that
there's usually violence against women if not always yeah it's a very it's a very high indicator
yeah and uh it's dudes it does appear that this is more the story of this and sure he had
left opinions yeah and that's something that we all have to we have to grapple with
we have to understand that you know agreeing on political issues doesn't necessarily
mean that everybody is on the same page yeah people in this right wing propaganda sphere are
working hard to make these two shootings equivalent and honestly watching it has made me sick i know
it's not new behavior but the way they pivoted from defense and deflection about el paso to
feigned moral outrage about Dayton was shocking even for someone like me who watches a lot of this
stuff it really seems to me that this sort of behavior only really makes sense in the context
of these propagandists being fully aware that their rhetoric in worldview that they're perpetuating
may be behind the el paso shooting and they need to protect themselves from that reality being
discussed i didn't see any prominent voices on the left arguing that the Dayton shooter was a
false flag because he agreed with some of their politics i didn't see anyone insisting that he
must be a staged killer who did what he did to demonize the left so he can't we can't ever pass
the green new deal there this is a very teachable moment because i want to make this abundantly
clear these people like alex do not question things and come up with insanely stupid conspiracy
theories because they're questioning things they do it because they're trying to cover up and deny
the real world consequences that come from having a thriving extremist right wing media in this country
without that extremist right wing media most of these people have nothing so they need to protect
it like like legitimately who the fuck is tom pappert without this white nationalist wave that
he's riding that's an extreme example because even with it he's nobody but like who is jack
pasoba without all this disinformation game that he's running who's jacob wall who's scott adams
i mean i guess he has dillbert who's carpe dunked him who are any of these motherfuckers
their relevance and revenues rely on the protection of this extremist right wing media
and so they protect it no matter what and i don't see that similar behavior being engaged in as it
relates to uh people on the left uh with a dating shooting i see i see circumstances being dealt
dealt with as uh they are from people except the right wing propagandist yep yep i mean i don't
know i don't know what else to say other than like at this point in time it's kind of pretty
clearly obvious that the right wing media is complicit in mass shootings yeah and i i
in continued mass shooting maybe maybe 10 years ago we could have had a different conversation
maybe that's a different story but at this point in time there is nothing else to say but
they are complicit it's it's it's horrifying yeah anyways um and just to be clear i think i i did
you know i i saw some people in the initial uh right after the dating shooting uh speculating
that it was a white supremacist shooting and i think that part of that is because we just had
a white supremacist shooting six hours before well and there are uh there are often uh those
indicate like a lot of times that is the case yeah yeah and those people that uh were making those
speculations generally i saw corrections after it turned out that this wasn't the case yeah
and i saw restraint on other people's part in terms of like let's not uh assume what motivations
are there and tell there's more information and i just i don't i don't i do not see that from people
who are associated with info wars no of course not i see intention behind what they're doing
and it really bums me out but it is interesting like i don't i don't i'm i'm i'm horrified about
the events that have happened and i feel terribly for the people in Dayton and al Paso and everywhere
else that have been touched by this and i know that there's some listeners that we have uh who are
from those places and it's just awful and i i don't know i don't know i just uh it sucks
it is something that i have also been thinking about recently to what extent are
have we helped create this rise in white nationalists you and me um no i mean people
everyone like the the constant capitulation of like okay we need to stop and think about
how the right wing is going to take this yeah that thought process to me has been one of the
sleeper factors in creating all of this of right wing power like this constant like what do they
think about what do they think about you see that now with all the think pieces about like well they
could take the problem seriously but it would be seen as being biased against conservatives yep
all of this stuff is like every step of the way we have enabled them by considering their feelings
above their actions i do how can how else can we put it other than to say we don't want to say
this uh because they'll get angry about it and so now we are allowing them now we're not pushing
through gun control at obama doesn't we don't want to put single health pair forward because
they're going to demonize us on the right they're going to demonize us so what we want to do is we
want to create a compromise we want to create this compromise where one does not exist for them
they are not at a negotiating table they are not negotiating this is not a negotiation this is not
something where the right and left can yeah it is an absolute hostage crisis and they are holding
all of us hostage yeah and it can't and like i don't want to i don't want to go too far because
we've had this conversation and i've gone too far true although it does seem like when i went too
far back then i was i i'm not in the current you can still be fairly accurate and still be too far
yeah you can't be both oh yeah that's that's certainly true but it's it's hard not to ascribe
a certain amount of desire to these people as well it does feel that way it's hard not to say that
mitch McConnell wants another mass shooting but it might not you know it might not be that that's
the primary thing that's desired absolutely decide things that unfortunately cause this right um yeah
it's grim it's grim it's grim shit um so in this next clip alex talks about the uh shooter
and Dayton's appearance and uh i mean whatever evil evil eyes always got that weird lazy satisfied
look that's the look of demon possession that's the look they've all got that sick enjoyable look
how much he loves elizabeth warren how much he loves bernie sanders how he wants to kill fascist
and he loves antifa now he can't wait to go to hell and serve satan and he hails satan almost
every one of them when you dig is into the same thing right i thought they all were the
children of psychologists yeah so this is going to be one of the larger overriding things about the
Dayton shooting and i'll be honest alex alex doesn't talk about it nearly as much as you might expect
him to based on the fact that it's like well he is you know very clearly on his social media
accounts indicating that he uh it has left politics yeah it seems like this would be what you want
to dance on instead he turns it into just like it's all about him being into satan yeah which is
weird to me it's very weird but i think i can make sense of it as we go along uh but the only thing
that i think is super important about that club is just it's so highly demonstrative of how he operates
it's like when there's a right wing guy who's into trump and uh you know loved alex or was a huge
bench appear of him it doesn't matter it doesn't matter who cares who cares if you know no no
psych meds it's antifa right but then you've got this he loves elizabeth warren and satan that that
behavior is is uh nuts and the thing that it you can hear is that that level of glee like
look at look at me i get to do my i get to do my fun voices now yesterday when it was a right wing
terrorist i'm not allowed i'm not allowed oh no it's a deflection but now today i get to be like
he wanted to kill your children and he wanted to eat you and that's because he loves you know what
else do he spirals on this episode yeah starts talking about some stuff that i never expected
like to hear which is so weird like he's sitting here i expect i show up and i'm expecting like
just nothing but dancing on democrats and yeah for sure hey there's your boy i expected that
kind of childish bullshit and instead i get this but here's the big issue i'm going to tackle first
president trump came out after the vegas massacre that was an internal saudi arabian civil war
they used a cia us gun dealer to bring guns to the hotel room to get around the fact that
they couldn't fly in with the guns there were 10 000 soddies meeting in vegas they flew in on
their jets from the saudi military mainly the saudi air force was having a convention there
ground prince was there whole nine yards using the same hotel he goes believing he's gonna sell
weapons to them they kill him and then carry out the mass attack as a way to terrorize trump
and embarrass trump this is ludicrous what the fuck did he just say to me i've never heard alex
lay out exactly what his conspiracy theory is about the las vegas shooting and man it makes sense
why he rarely does because that sounds nuts so 10 000 soddies right and the crown prince
mbs are all staying in the same hotel well not the 10 000 i don't think are all in the hotel
yeah that'd be a big hotel yeah it's even the mandalay bay yeah what are we what are we talking
about quadrupling up got get some bunks quintupling up on these uh yeah some pots yeah man this is
part of like a fourchan conspiracy theory that has to do with like an attempted assassination of
prince uh mohammed bin salman uh that was supposedly carried out and then the las vegas shooting was a
distraction to get people to like the paddock came and he was supposed to be selling guns to
these people or so he thought but it was really they were going to cause the they were going to
do this shooting to cause a distraction so they could have their assassins kill the crown prince
oh okay right well that's right that's what alex is sort of cribbing from yeah he's taking that
and then getting the assassination of mbs out of it and inserting embarrassing trump right which
is crazy trump went to saudi arabia in may of 2017 and touched the orb the las vegas shooting
wasn't until october 2017 so maybe oh get this maybe what do we got here maybe the orb was the
first attempt to embarrass trump but it didn't work so they had to do the las vegas shooting
maybe that's what's going on here that it seems a bit like a strange escalation sure i would assume
there would be a middle step touch the orb between touch the orb and let's kill hundreds of people i
think there's a there's a middle ground there like what motivation did the saudi government have to
want to embarrass trump like when he went to saudi arabia he and the king signed a series of letters
of intent to sell saudi uh 350 billion dollars in weapons over the course of the next 10 years
trump has been very consistent about being into saudi arabia before the las vegas shooting
after the las vegas shooting after jamal kashoggi got murdered after congress blocked eight billion
dollars in weapons sales to saudi back in may and trump just ignored it went ahead with the sale
anyway after congress passed resolutions blocking him from selling arms to saudi arabia in concern
about their actions in yemen back in july and then trump vetoed it went ahead with the sale anyway
trump has been very consistent since day one he does not give a fuck there's literally no motive
for the saudi's to concoct some elaborate terrorist attack in the united states to embarrass trump
into doing what they want because he was already doing exactly what they want this is a theory like
i said that was circulating on that poll board but it's so completely full of holes that if you
find it being discussed in other non-insane message boards it just gets torn to shreds there are
thousand holes in the story not least of which uh why there are 10 000 holes in the story uh if
steven paddock was a patsy arm dealer why had he been casing hotel rooms overlooking other music
festivals why did he book rooms uh hotels in chicago boston and another one in los vegas
all overlooking big tourist venues if he was just a guy getting some guns for these saudi folk
why was he doing that shit for it's not like this is even worth exploring alex would just say that
the saudi arabians tricked paddock into going to those hotel rooms so they would leave a compelling
paper trail to keep people from finding the real truth yeah that's why this game is never worth
playing i have no interest in if you said 10 000 saudi's i didn't or no no no i heard he said
fuck you fair enough fair enough fair enough uh yeah he said 10 000 saudi's in prince mbs and i was
like get the fuck out of here i'm not even gonna listen it's nuts fuck you yeah so that was like
all right we're off track here yeah yeah a little bit we are off track a little bit we're uh we're
in uncharted territory if uh 10 000 saudi's and mbs are hanging out five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred saudi's i just want to show off the pipes well done um so uh that was wild then alex
just starts rambling about uh guns and how they're great and he he gets into something very interesting
like this is i loved this clip because it's he's so wrong it's amazing like he's just so wrong
he couldn't be more wrong but the truth is you've got a lot better chance of somebody trying to
break in your house with a gun in cities where the public's been disarmed because let me tell you
thieves will break in your car and stuff in most areas of texas but they don't come in your house
because they'll get their ass blown off home invasions are very rare here in chicago in new
york and detroit in every leftist area like baltimore maryland they are epidemic oh my be an ease
i i i think that makes no like even on an on an intuitive level it makes more sense for the
opposite to be true oh interesting because if you're in a city you don't have to well there's
some interesting things going on you know alex has absolutely no idea what he's talking about
he seems to think that burglaries are happening all the time in these blue cities where the public
doesn't have guns but that's entirely just based on his feelings that's not backed up by any proof
if he spent 10 seconds looking into this he would realize he is a big dumb ass hole
first things first as a chicago in i feel the need to point out that chicago doesn't even have the
highest burglary rate in terms of cities in illinois that honor goes to danville the hometown of gene
hackman which is 50 miles closer to indianapolis than it is to chicago danville is in vermilion
county which voted 62.4 percent for uh for trump in 2016 to so whatever the u.s city that is the
highest rate of burglary is bastrop louisiana which is in a morehouse parish which voted 55
percent for trump in 2016 both u.s senators from louisiana are republicans and five out of the six
people they send to the house of representatives including alex's good buddy steve schliece
are also republicans the city in the u.s at the second highest rate of burglary is blitheville
arkansas which is weirdly in mississippi county which voted 53.4 percent for trump in 2016 both
senators from arkansas republicans and four out of the four members of the house uh from the state
are also republicans it is a very red state the third and fourth most burglarized cities in the
country are lumberton and lorenberg north carolina north carolina was trump country in 2016 and both
senators from north carolina are republicans as are eight of the 11 uh house members uh there's
actually 13 seats but two are vacant you can totally have guns in louisiana and even get
concealed carry permits you can absolutely get all the guns you want in arkansas and you could
totally open carry your gun without a permit you can definitely own guns and conceal carry in north
carolina as securelife.com uh the website's security company they reviewed the 2017 fbi
statistics and you know what they found new york is the state with the least burglaries in the
country chicago's burglary rate isn't even 10 percent of bastrops and it's actually slightly
lower than austin's nothing alex is saying means anything he's just making shit up that feels right
to him and he's making a pretty safe bet that no one in his audience is going to doubt him or have
the mental uh horsepower to realize he's full of shit but he is full of shit he has no idea what
he's talking about and more often than not he's just saying shit with no evidence to support and
he's saying it as it's as if it's a definitive fact as he did here they have to be very stupid to
trust this dude he's a bluffer he's bluffing you know what's interesting too like uh i was looking
into this and some of the people who are experts in the field that i don't know if they even prove
this necessarily but they they theorize that urban areas actually have much lower uh uh
rates of burglary and one of the reasons is because there's apartment complexes and high rises
which are much more difficult to uh commit burglaries in well i the thing the only thing
that makes sense uh or like the the intuitive thought i had is just there are so many people
crammed in together and uh b and e tends to make just enough noise to fuck up everybody else's night
that's probably a huge factor you know like if you're in the suburbs or if you're in a small
town in the middle of nowhere there's so there's a yard between you and your neighbor you see that
fifth floor up there yeah how how's anyone gonna break into that no shit you're gonna have to go
through you're gonna have to break it later exactly it's much easier to break into something
that's just a single unit on a ground floor than it is so like there's tons and tons of
like just dwellings that are super elevated or behind multiple walls well even and even our houses
are a ton of houses a share of fucking wall half almost yeah you know there's a foot of space in
between each house or there's tons of buildings that have like uh entrances that are only accessible
through courtyards right which make it like why would someone break in you're completely exposed
in this area yeah and there's always somebody awake and there's always a light on and there's
always somebody looking or at least you assume there that doesn't mean there aren't any burglaries
in the city or anything like that but the rates in these uh uh the the you alex thinks yeah are
happening in these i mean let's be fair mostly predominantly non-white popular at least he
associates with non-white populations baltimore chicago cities yeah so i mean like that's that's
the perception that he has but it's not true it's based on him just making things up on what he
assumes is the case which like honestly behaving like that kind of puts a little bit of a
asterisk around most of the things you say right like you can if you can that confidently deliver
something you're making up yeah man you are a suspect well it's because he thinks that if so and
it i can kind of see where he might feel confident when he's making that up is if you think that
chicago is murder city usa then i'm guessing he probably just assumes that if chicago has a high
rate of murder then it must have a high rate of every single possible crime available we're just
crime ridden doing everything everybody in chicago is committing crimes all the time if that's the
case and i would really love for him to say i assume the chicago has higher crime burglary rates
right because that would be honest because the fact is it doesn't no of course not so go fuck
yourself alex no on behalf of chicago yeah go fuck yourself for so many reasons go eat a hot dog we
catch up we'll catch you on damon and fullerton and we'll fuck you up that's what we're gonna have
six corners yeah wait which one the new six corners of the old six what the old town what are we
talking about the original sears six corners they say there's yeah yeah me me at willis tower
doesn't exist i don't do a good chicago accent um so both of those last two clips were like
what are we doing yeah las vegas shooting conspiracy okay uh burglary's are high in uh
cities uh wrong okay this next clip blew my fucking mind it legitimately i was like alex
what are you saying what are you saying he seems to be expressing a desire to go back
to a bygone age but that's not out of the norm for him no no he wants a farm he wants to retire
he wants to live in the forest right but the specifics of the context in which he's talking
about it make me very upset because there always has been some people but in the old days we dealt
with them the village would recognize them and the first time they got caught doing something weird
sick well you know what the village would do
and usually their parents will even join in beat their brains out
people didn't put up with this kind of crap the old days you acted sick and weird said you
wanted to kill kids got caught doing something weird well where'd bob go well nobody knows where old
bob went the last 10 shooters or so all said they hated christians
and that they love satan except the el paso shooter because they've expunged all the stuff
and were and then putting fake stuff up about how he's a trump supporter you know that's admitted
that his social media was anti-trump democrat i mean there's screenshots of it it's confirmed
but it didn't matter it all got put out there it all got force fed on saturday we've been banned
from the larger internet we couldn't counter it and so now it is the accepted fact that the
supposed lone shooter in el paso texas was a trump supporter even though we have all the
screenshots from his social media and they changed it we ought to be asking who changed it within 30
minutes who was able to do that anybody anybody can do that literally anybody who knows how to use
the internet it's not like i you need a super hacker no to change my life thing yeah and that's the
other thing too i think we didn't do a good enough job of like really calling him out on this is
like presenting my life as social media yeah is absurd that is that means something very different
it's closer to the white pages as i understand it yeah yeah kind of a profile not the white papers
no but like a phone book could be the white papers we call that um so yeah that's and this is why i
wanted to really drive home at the beginning of the episode how central that is to so much of his
suspicions because now like anything that happens can be called into question because of this right
misunderstanding that he has about the my life profile right being changed anything he can get
away from any kind of the the assertions that this manifesto is his yeah he can get away from any
indications that he had similar beliefs to the right wing media sphere right the conveyor the very
it's very useful the very convenient misunderstanding of how my life almost too convenient almost
too almost suspiciously convenient now i want to talk about the rest of that clip let's do it
alex is so goddamn fucked up every time i think i've heard his weirdest position he goes and swings
for the fences and catches me off guard with something like back in the day the village would
kill people before it gets to this point yeah haven't you read haven't you read the lottery
down or the fucking crucible the lottery was like random though right so there there was a
part of me that was inclined to just say hey look at this weirdo who thinks it's a good idea for
communities to kill people who break and break their local mores but i think there's something
this this is so weird that it deserves a little more analysis what alex isn't mentioning is that in
these villages he's talking about presumably in the early days of america that he fetishizes so much
these rules were straight up theocratic in the early 1600s in uh virginia it was illegal to not
attend church twice a day you had to attend church twice a day if you broke that law three times
you'd be enslaved for six months rowing boats man yeah humans are stupid these early systems of
village justice were not at all what alex imagines they were where the community just gets together
and deals with the problem early and then everyone seals their lips like they're in la costra nostra
la costra nostra more often than not the people who were the targets of community justice were
such uh because the community just thought they were weird probably because they were gay or just
they didn't fit into the insanely rigid social structure that was enforced at the time the Salem
witch trials are a great example of this getting way out of hand like many of the victims of that
chapter in our history were just women who didn't play by the repressive rules of the patriarchal
system in the villages that they lived in one of the people who was killed was a woman who married
a slave another was a woman who just didn't want to go to church neither of these women posed a
threat to others in the way that a mass shooter does today and killing them was not an act that
protected anything other than the repressive status quo many groups like the first nations and
Maori uh they had in place systems of restorative justice on the community level but uh that they
didn't involve secretly disappearing people so i think that might be a little different than what
alex is talking about although an interesting uh idea that they have yeah it is a uh unfortunately
tony morrison uh died rest in peace she she was amazing but the quote that's going around
recently to paraphrase is something along the lines of uh if you need to tear somebody else down
to feel tall then you have a problem and uh it seems like white people need to do that uh maybe
they have a problem is that a quote uh no i paraphrased it okay yeah uh yeah fair enough
if you take alex like what alex is saying is plainly as you can i think he's saying that we
should go back to a system where we kill people we're suspicious of so they don't end up becoming
a problem later and i gotta say that's an insanely big swing for someone who claims
that one of his favorite parts of western culture is due process it sounds kind of like uh that might
just be a buzzword for him back in the old days back in the old days we didn't have due process
and it was easier to solve problems i love due process but we could do away with it you know
what i'm saying yeah uh do away with it he yells about due process all the fucking time like and
now he's like yearning for the days when the mob would kill weird people yeah i'm confused about why
their parents would bash their brains in along with like what the fuck get out of here no shit get
out so um one of the things about uh doing the monday episode as well as the sunday and looking
at both of them was first of all the dissatisfaction with alex not talking about both shootings on
sunday yeah and then secondarily that i knew that eight chan had their issue uh by monday right
so alex would be aware of that and i mean that's where he gets a lot of his information from
both four chan and eight chan so i knew he'd be kind of bent out of shape about it he doesn't
seem nearly as mad about it as i expected it's very weird i mean obviously he's opposed to them
not being around yeah free speech censored yeah sure etc etc yeah sure and he's misrepresenting
the story about what happened and so that means that he cares a little it's a weird way to put it
he cares so he lies yeah that's an accurate way to put it yeah kind of it's a weird thing to be
true but i think it is true yeah so here's uh here's him getting into that story the fact that
this individual supposedly uploaded this manifesto to eight chan and now eight chan's been taken down
off of their internet provider is beyond dangerous ladies and gentlemen and next they're talking about
taking away URLs as well as if eight chan caused this individual to go and do this it's just
preposterous i think there's an interesting conversation to be had there that's not preposterous
but alex is misrepresenting the situation here with eight chan a little bit for one there is a real
problem with dudes getting radicalized on that site and there's a very consistent consistent
pattern of it that we've been seeing beyond that a ton of alex's fake information he just pulls
directly from four chan and eight chan so making it a little bit harder for him to find that low
hanging fruit might actually be a good thing for him like maybe if he has to work for it a little
bit more it'll bring out that fighting spirit right that old that'll get him back in mid-season form
or he'll quit even sooner maybe yeah what happened with eight chan wasn't that they had their site
taken down were the government to do that i would agree that that would probably be a little bit of a
bad precedent to set and i don't know how in favor of it i would be that i would like the end result
but i don't think i'd like the process in reality what happened was that cloud flare uh internet
security company decided to stop working with eight chan leaving them with no protection from
hackers and denial of service attacks most websites have security services they can work with uh
that they do work with and that allows most sites to uh regularly uh not get disrupted all that
often those websites have terms of service though so if you're running a wordpress page and the
content is outside what they allow wordpress will take down your blog eight chan doesn't have really
any rules so in essence their relationship with cloud flare flare was becoming a thing where cloud
flare was just protecting a website where increasingly dangerous and illegal things were
going on and no one was doing anything about it cloud flare has no obligation to protect eight
chan and they decided that they'd had enough and severed the relationship that's their right to
decide after the unite the right rally cloud flare dropped their services from being used by the
daily stormer this is something they can do and honestly should do if eight chan or the daily
stormer exists as entirely toxic hate filled spaces no company should be forced to work with them
it provides services that allow them to maintain their space as long as there are other companies
in that market space you know so it's not like a monopoly it's not a monopoly yeah yeah i give
what you're saying yeah one of the things that no one man should have all that power yeah well and
and that's just i mean that has nothing to do with even protecting their free speech it's just more
of a this is bad yeah yeah one of the only things that allows these chans to exist and operate the
way they do is intense security and anonymity protection it's created a place where users are
free to throw out racial slurs cheer on mass shootings plan mass shootings call for genocide
and whatever other horrible shit you can imagine a lot of it's probably insincere but the single
thing that makes it possible is anonymity without a company like cloud flare providing that anonymity
protection the entire game falls apart because people be like oh this comment could be traced back
to me being a real racist pile of shit right no it's it's what protects them it's for people who
can still feel shame in the real world maybe yeah pretty soon after cloud flare dropped them
eight chan announced that they'd gotten security from bit mitigate but that quickly fell apart when
it was found out that bit mitigate was really just selling services from another company
voxility who said fuck that shit and pulled their services it's not a coincidence that bit
mitigate is also the company that came in to protect the daily stormer after they were kicked
off cloud flare i'm gonna guess they would say it's a protecting free speech thing but i don't
buy that shit for a second anyway the situation as it stands now as best as i can tell is that
eight chant doesn't have solid security uh in a company that will work for them and work with them
and that could effectively be the end of their effectiveness as a radicalization hub we'll see
though other you know some other shit had come along and work with them some other company could
agree to do it and may have already by the time we're recording this and put this out yeah or a
whole new hub could pop up in short order for the time being i think it's an effective disruption
of the process and while that doesn't necessarily solve the problem i think it's probably a positive
thing yeah that's my feeling on it platforming is a good first step there's never it's never a bad
idea uh or it's it's a it's an action at the very least it's fucking something because nobody
else is doing a goddamn thing mm-hmm so we've seen bad work on alex's part so far i mean the sunday
show was full of a lot of nonsense but so far we've you know we've seen alex misreporting this
story we've heard him read the dappa versus darpa thing is just that was on sunday on
unexcusable wipe it off the block yeah i can't wipe that off the block well i mean for the
purposes of this next clip well for jenny they never mind um so we i mean he's talking about
mexico's crime rate uh nonsensical ways he's rambling and just making stuff up about burglary
rates in america and so it's really funny when he says something like this we're gonna go to break
and we come back uh i've done too much preparation for the show my head is spinning sorry i don't just
put these hundreds of articles out here to it was a prop or look i've i've got all the research
i learned a long time ago that computers uh can crash uh they change stories they remove stories so
i've been on air 25 years for 25 years used to it took like a couple minutes to load an article
remember that 25 years ago so i learned that if i got an article loaded i would print it so i don't
have to read it um also if you hear that popping and stuff i've noticed that lately in his present
day episodes the sound quality is so much worse really yeah i don't know what the deal is but his
just present day episodes have like it's the there's high high level quality problems yeah
it's not your earphones it's not us that's that's on his end wow yeah it's pretty pretty that's
sad pretty weak um he goes on to ramble about how like people at old radio stations got mad at him
for using all the printer paper so he bought his own printer like why are you doing why are you telling
us this there's no way that those are not props yeah like they're they're maybe maybe too deep
maybe too deep on an article no rest is blank paper no come on alex so just admit it in this next
clip alex is complaining about trump uh and he's uh you know trump had been talking about uh putting
red flag laws in place where people who are red you know the red flags on this yeah maybe make
it so they can't get guns i at this point he probably you could have told me he was trying to
outlaw red flags as a way to help gun control and i'd be like of course he maybe whatever so alex is
not into that but he's also not nearly as mad about that as you might expect i thought for sure
tune in this show and he'd be like trump's up in fucking ice he's not i don't know i don't know why
he seems totally fine with the whole thing yeah if obama had done that oh we there might actually
we might actually be in a civil war right now yeah so alex is like this is unnecessary because
there's already this sort of thing he said i love satan here's a little tip when someone says i love
satan and can't wait to die and go to hell that's what he said and i'm gonna kill people you don't
need some red flag act that gets rid of the process look at that guy pale so real quick
i just want to be clear alex is talking about like you can use the baker act to put these people
you know yeah and to that point people tried yeah how did it go people who are the targets the
young women who are the targets of his harassment in high school tried yep so alex i will say on
paper yes there are things in place that can help in these sorts of situations but the conversation
is about how these things don't work and we need to take this more seriously and possibly that can
be done through further legislation maybe i don't know but anyway would you would you believe that
alex spins his wheels a while and that kind of turns this into ranting about himself sure
have that distant stare like a little spoiled rotten baby
probably jerks off 50 times a day i mean we know the exact mo these dudes women run from them
they're creeps creep because i guarantee a daddy wasn't home and nobody ever beat his ass wow i hate
you so i mean that guy needed he needs his needed to have his ass kicked royal yeah when he was i
guarantee he was a bully when he was uh i love that you were a bully fake uh origin story they
put out on me totally made up all eyes that i was a bully that i was beating up people smaller than
me no i was bullied and i beat the living hell out of people once i hit puberty that's what happened
why are you doing this like why are you tell like why did you start ranting about the Dayton
shooter and then turn it into like he needs to get his ass kicked he was probably a bully everyone
says i'm a bully i was bullied why stop making this about yourself everything is about him
it's a malignant narcissist it's crazy so um this shooter in Dayton and also the one in El Paso
chose some accessories to use during their shootings and alex believes uh that he knows why
you know this ohio thing was a copycat dress the same or ear protection everything
because they're used to wearing the headphones when they play the shoot them up games
and he was into that too oh great fuck you i great we're not we're not talking about video games
i'm done if you if anybody's like video games then they're done there's no argument we're not
arguing this argument was settled 10 years ago go back and fucking time and do it i'm not i present
that without comment yeah it's just that's what alex that's the level he's operating oh i wasn't
talking about i wasn't talking to you specifically oh no i thought that was a suggestion that i was
going to say okay no we're not talking about this no no no so earlier on on sunday's episode alex
brought up the babies and incubators which he blames on the left strangely um uh and you know
like that's sort of the justification for why you get to question things and again he's not
questioning things he's creating misinformation it's very clear uh he brings back up the babies
and incubators and this is fucking fascinating to me we have a right and a duty to look at every
event as if it could be staged take the babies and the incubators again 1990 desert shield
the buildup before desert storm the offensive and they came and testified that they saw babies
by the hundreds pulled out their brains bashed out the girl had never been to collate none of it
happened she was the daughter of a pr firm controlled by the Saudis
she was four years older than they said she was 18 she wasn't 14 it was a lie there's a lie
we've talked about the specifics of the babies and incubators narrative on a past episode so i don't
want to go all the way back deeply into it but i want to point out just a few things here that are
a huge problem um there's a lot of problems with the 1990 testimony that was given about the iraqi
security forces stealing incubators from qaidi hospitals and leaving children to die i'll not
pretend that there aren't um however it's woefully simplistic for alex to pretend that the testimony
was the only reason george hw bush began the gulf war i'm sure it was a piece of it and while it's
an incredibly complex situation it does appear that some of that testimony was not accurate
all that's fine and if alex wanted to discuss the testimony on those terms
i think there'll be a great use of his time that might be something an actual skeptic might do
someone like alex would prefer to embellish and exaggerate things in order to use this example
to help justify his unjustifiable position that he deserves to have a knee jerk reaction to every
act of white people committing terrorist acts uh and assuming that they're somehow fake yeah
that clip we listened to right there was 31 seconds long and in it alex said seven completely not
true things one the girl who gave the testimony was named niara al sabah and she had most certainly
been to kawaii two her father was not a member of a pr firm her father was saoud al sabah the
kawaii ambassador to the united states three the pr firm in question was hillan noelton which was
working with a group called citizens for a free kawaii i can find no evidence to support the claim
that hillan noelton was controlled by the saudi's four there's no evidence that she was 18 five no
one claimed she was 14 she was 15 six in her testimony niara doesn't specify how many babies
were taken out of incubators but in written testimony later that wasn't under oath she put
the number at 15 which is far lower than alex's bullshit about hundreds seven nowhere in her
testimony does niara say that the baby's brains were bashed in she just said that they took the
incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor that is a staggering amount of details
to have wrong in such a short burst of words and some of this may sound pedantic but i really need
to stress that even when alex kind of has a good point he's wrong it's pathological for him even
when the circumstances of something are in his wheelhouse and a story should be a slam dunk for him
he can't resist the urge to lie about it and make it even more sensational part of that is just the
alex doesn't know much about the stories he's telling that's a big part of it but another thing
he's you know he's like a jesus lizard he's only able to stay above water and skip from spot to
spot on the surface because he has no conception of the depth of the water if the jesus lizard made
any use of anything other than the surface of the lake it would sink and the same is true of alex
both make a great impressive spectacle but there's not much more i mean there's so much more of the
water that they're missing and as i read that i'm like was i high when i wrote that
i'm sorry i gave you a face i gave you a face i'm sorry i was feeling it i'm sorry
i was like i must have written that three in the morning i stand by it but no no no i get it i get
the i get the analogy uh i i do it's it it works so anyway alex he doesn't know anything about this
case or if he does he's intentionally exaggerating and misleading things because it helps him make
his claim that it's more justified for him to quote unquote question everything which is
flimsy so um in this next clip alex man he's just all over the place but i i actually i
like this clip i'll be honest okay i like this clip all right you know they have hollywood movies
like wag the dog bill clinton liked that movie so much with dustin hoffman and willy nelson
point of order that's not the billing on it dustin hoffman robert deniro right right maybe
denis leary third okay i would uh uh uh yeah who's who's the lady and an haste and haste gets top
billing over fucking willy nelson get out of here just because you know him that he staged it
a year after came out exactly that in real time in the same area so if you're missing if you
miss like as we pause in the middle he's arguing that bill clinton loved wag the dog so much that
he decided to do it and man i love wag the dog i think it's a fantastic movie although i will say
i haven't seen it since i was 19 or so yeah i haven't seen it in a long long time i'll be the first
to admit there's a lot of similarities between the situation depicted in the movie and some of the
details of the lulinski affair there's also a bunch of differences that you need to wrestle with if
you want to make this kind of argument the first is that in the movie the war is fake they don't bomb
anyone actually it's just all for show if alex is arguing that the clinton like clinton faked
bombings because he loved wag the dog so much even though he would have to know that people would
say hey are you wagging the dog right now like legitimately clinton's secretary of defense was
asked about wag the dog under oath this is a very popular movie in 97 it's not like clinton would
see that movie and they'd be like we're gonna do exactly this and no one will ever put the pieces
together i would argue that the fact that there are many surface level similarities makes it less
likely that the bombings were an attempt to change the media coverage since that plan would be
painfully transparent and there was a cool movie with a catchy name people could use to be like hey
that's what you're doing yep it's a ridiculous now that said the bombing that the military
carried out around the time of lulinski uh when monica lulinski testified uh in front of a grand
jury the bombing was in sudan um and wag the dog they put up on a fake war in albania because they
know that no one knows anything about albania alex says that clinton carried out an attack in the
same area and i should tell you that albania and sudan are not in the same area a few thousand
miles give or take is no big deal about 2000 no give or take no big deal albania is in the
Mediterranean whereas sudan is south of egypt and africa in the sahara desert not very similar
or close as alex sits in his studio doing his show he's closer to nicaragua he's closer to
haiti than albania is to sudan and i would not say his studio is in the same area as nicaragua
ridiculous nonsensical but but i love that i love that alex lives in a world where he thinks
the bill clinton saw a wag the dog was like let's do it oh god love it uh you have to take those
moments because everything else sucks so much brief brief brief moment of of a unfiltered levity
yeah so in this uh next clip he plays a report from the weekend uh this this is from the weekend
right this is his monday show but he's playing a clip from the weekend and keep in mind a clip
from his own show yes yes okay and i think uh oh this is just trash oh boy trash they act like this
is somehow bad i'm i'm very proud of what i said here here it is nbc reports patrick crucius
the leftist savior who just shows up right at the moment where the left is being exposed
with our whole agenda is falling apart and when trump is defending our borders supposing
as evil racists right as antifa announces nationwide funded by alexander soros that
they are going to be marching and across the u.s and meeting september first in like 26 days
in el paso to cross the border patrol and to lay siege to them these are quotes
they put out graphics showing american flags burning they put out graphics showing dead ice
officers and i said what are they planning to stage i said this on friday show
what are they planning to stage and on thursday show what are they planning to stage
the head of antifa showing up right on time at el paso so that looks legitimate when they
attack physically the ice agents and call them nazis and say kids are turning out toilets and
the people are being killed who are actually coming here from the countries that are collapsing
so the the reason i play as much of that is because i want to make this abundantly fucking
clear alex is pretending that he's questioning things and that's why the media is afraid of
him existing that he's not questioning things that is a narrative he has a narrative and that was
during the weekend that isn't on monday's show that is his knee jerk reaction is a formed narrative
that has people to blame it has villains it has a storyline it has a reason it has a
baked in false narrative about this uh antifa tour that's going to end in el paso this is what he
does this is not questioning things this is disinformation and propaganda but it's not like
it's not good propaganda it's evil this is evil propaganda well i mean it's not just evil propaganda
it's not even good evil propaganda it's bad evil propaganda but it works man yeah well that's a
problem yeah that is a problem so um you know we got big guests so far we had tom pappert yes
we had tom pappert right we had that one guy who called in and he had nano mafia i don't count him
as a guest i feel like future employee um and now we get to guest we're more familiar with who's
just as much of a shithead as tom pappert and that is the health ranger no he's not allowed
mike adams he's not allowed um this is this is one of mike adams theories that he has going
about these shootings and man i want to say this before we start it i'm gonna say it after we start
and this dude is fucking stupid people were really shot and killed none of us are saying that that
didn't happen congrats what we're saying what we're asking the question is what why was this
violence taking place or why was this person a dispatched to this walmart in el paso to carry out
this shooting and if he was on a suicide mission why was he wearing hearing protection why was he
wearing ipro and ear pro as we say in the shooting community you only do that if you expect to survive
which is why i don't believe that his so-called manifesto is real at all i think the manifesto
let's explain how this works you think you're going to a drill or you think you're taking part of
something because you're in the queue movement and trump's got you as a secret agent and you get
set up in the process but then you get given electroshock therapy a few hours later and you
never remember what happened oh that's how it works i think alex is also eating lunch um so
that's stupid um i want to say i promise i was going to say this so mike is fucking stupid
and i want to say this he is a complete goober listen to this dumb fuck uh look this is insane
these dudes present themselves as gun experts and passionate about the gun world and yet
here they are trying to pretend that the only reason someone would wear ear and eye protection
is that they expected to survive yeah it's definitely not because you would want to continue
to be able to see and that's part of it like legitimately how fucking stupid do they think
people they're talking to are just off the top of my head i can come up with a bunch of reasons
why someone who expected to die would still wear ear and eye protection how about uh they're used to
doing so is it outside the realm of possibility that these are people who shot regularly so
they're in the habit of practicing appropriate safety measures is that seriously not even a
possibility what about comfort even if you expect to die that doesn't mean you want to risk blowing
out your eardrums right before you do or how about the notion that these dudes knew that they would
be more effective carrying out a shooting with ear and eye protection that's what i was thinking
it it's kind of like a you know like it's some kind of a kickback or powder or whatever gets into
your eyes mid-shooting that's going to limit your efficacy as will ringing pain in your ears
it's entirely possible that these guys just saw using ear and eye protection as being part of
maximizing the damage they'd be able to inflict because uh they would be protected from the little
things that could derail their shooting prematurely absolutely for mike adams to argue with a straight
face that using eye and ear protection somehow proof that the alpaso shooter expected to live
is a gigantic leap of logic he hasn't proven his premises and he hasn't earned his conclusion
he's just talking shit and he knows he's talking shit the reason the possible other reasons they
might wear protection aren't discussed is because mike and alex have a specific conclusion they
need to get to the misinformation is towards a desired goal not to some kind of skeptical
analysis of things that's just abundantly clear so now they're presenting the idea that you have
these guys who are like brainwashed or something and so they end up like the globalists have
dispatched them there that's now the the operating function that they're going off of and alex is
kind of being rushed out to break but he he he makes reference of something that has to do with
this the technique and the system that they the globalists use and it kind of piqued my interest
because i hadn't heard him mention this before we're going to break down how they set people up
on the other side the arlington road system stay with us he's like oh shit he's about to break
something real i'd never heard this discussed before and then it kind of disappointed me because
when he came back from the commercial break he explained it and here's what it's all about
folks need to know that the left's tools is trying to race war that's the race in the hole all the
movies all the netflix all the tv shows are race war race war race war and so i think trump's right
to come out and say hey white supremacism is terrible even though we know this guy's a leftist
and the other guys have an admitted antifa member that loves satan i get why trump's doing this
politically it's still very dangerous with his base to talk about getting rid of due process with
red flag laws but again arlington road came out i don't know 15 years ago jeff bridges
there's a libertarian professor all right he's a critic of the government okay having too much
power here we go and there's this weird shadowy right wing group the movie pretty much it's it's
shadow government cia nope they set him up he believes he's stopping the truck bomb
but all they really do is trick him to get in there when it goes off
so they can then put it on the news to make it look like he's the terrorist
and look he's a respected professor that did this let's go to the audio here it is
so then alex just plays minutes of uh the end of arlington road of course it's a
fucking movie yeah the arlington road system is a movie that's i was thinking that he was
genuine i was like oh i haven't heard about the arlington road system there must be some sort of
transportation or you you like nope arlington road system not the arlington road system you got
tricked the same way i thought it sounded like maybe it's something yeah it's a fucking movie it's
always a movie god damn it there's one crucial problem with alex's theory about the movie arlington
road and that is that in the movie jeff bridges character is not set up for a terrorist attack
by the fbi or the deep state uh but his neighbors uh the ones who do it who are terrorists who are
looking for someone to carry out the attack they planned uh in such a way as to make it look like
it's a lone wolf attack to protect their terrorist cell so they can continue operations again we run
into this thing where alex can't defend any of his ideas except by referencing movies and so often
the movies he cites don't even make the points he thinks they do especially when he tries to cite
a book that one's that's when we get into real trouble there it's so crazy so anyway alex plays
minutes of this and at the end of the movie it's weird that can't be true it is is he eating lunch
again i think he might be i think he might be but he does chime in a couple times i think it's pretty
funny really good movie you know how these people work folks this is it and tell him
you're right i don't see scripts see i am what yeah what did he just say he said that it's a great
movie and most of these scripts are written by the cia and by extension that means you can learn
about how they operate through this right i thought that's what he said but i assumed that you couldn't
possibly be that stupid arlington road was not written by the cia it was written by erin kruger
who also wrote the ring uh three transformers movies and the new dumbo i can find no evidence
that he is cia also arlington road is not a good movie it's a paranoid convoluted mess of a movie
with tons of plot holes that make no sense so alex did you watch it i saw it a long time ago
but i i have not i've not gone back okay but i did check some reviews just just refresh my memory
and it's not universally positive yeah gotcha um so uh like i said he plays a bunch of this
metacritic just gives it a rating of alex jones loves this movie which is enough for people to
be like okay good good i'm out so alex alex plays a bunch of the movie and i think he starts to
realize like i'm supposed to be a radio show yeah you're not good for radio but tv won't see it
all right good good good good good good not good for radio all right and that was minutes in yeah
okay so here is his sort of final piece about arlington road and i just think that there's
you could see like a real problem but it's so in line with his brain in this clip
that it's on the news he's the right wing terrorist
and now the police take him take over so the end of the movie involves uh jeff bridges being set up
for a bombing and what you saw there was the explosion yes at the end when fbi building gets
blown up right and alex is missing a very vital point in the plot of this movie and that is that
the bombing of that fbi building was still definitely a terrorist attack just because jeff
bridges got set up that doesn't mean that it wasn't still an organized coordinated attack
by an anti-government terrorist cell sure it's unfortunate that jeff bridges good name has to
be tarnished by the bombing but whatever it's saying but but whether it's saying he was a
right wing terrorist or saying that the group that set him up were right wing terrorists
either way it's still a movie about a right wing terror plot yes it's remarkable how alex rewrites
both reality and fiction to fit his worldview in the movie tim robbins and his wife are definitely
terrorists but alex watches this movie and decides that they must actually be working
for the globalist and that's the writer's real point i know that art is subjective and we all
bring a lot of our own baggage to any media we consume but i'm very unsettled by the way alex
consumes media we don't bring that much baggage i tend not to i don't think anybody brings that
much baggage i think if alex were to try and describe the plot to the writer he'd be like wow
yeah i did not that was that wasn't my point i don't i didn't even want to know
how alex understands a fucking wheel of fortune episode like i don't want to deal with how
he rewrites that whole fun it's a globalist so the whole time he's playing arlington road
mike adams is on hold good mike adams whatever as long as you're on hold you're not hurting
somebody else so mike adams started things off with a dumb argument about eye and ear protection
and now he comes in with uh maybe a dumber argument i would say this is dumber if you are
moving with a long gun an ar or an ak you're moving and trying to shoot targets that are running
it is extremely difficult that takes an expert marksman to pull that off that's not something
that a casual uh 21 year old with no experience can accomplish so uh mike adams is really bringing
some soft bullshit today uh this argument is absolutely nonsensical on its face because it
presumes one thing and that is that these shooters had targets they weren't going into places like
where they committed their crimes with the intention of shooting specific people which
admittedly would be hard and if that were the case mike mike might have a decent point oh yeah
yeah uh they were intending to go into crowded areas and open fire indiscriminately hoping to
hit lots of people it that's not quite as hard to pull off when you're moving if you aren't aiming
at something specific it's a bit easier to pretend that mike doesn't understand that is so far
beyond the realm of possibility for me he absolutely knows this shit yet he pretends that he doesn't
so he can spin these fucked up conspiracy narratives to protect his precious guns again this isn't
questioning world events this is intentionally misinforming people to build propaganda narratives
this is the business that info wars is in well that and movie reviews that's the other business
yeah yeah i wouldn't even go oh i wouldn't say they were doing too much reviewing so much as like
that's well i mean i guess i guess a review i guess a review is like you should see this
so fair they are in the business of movie reviews you're right you're right elitism yeah um so in
this next clip alex argues that the el paso shooting was fake uh for a weird reason he has a very strange
reason uh this whole situation i mean let me tell you if you just shot 20-something people i don't
care what police department is you're gonna get in your ass kick some this guy does not have a
blemish on it and i guarantee you this guy would have been jumped on you'd have a black guy with a bloody
nose he's lucky but no nothing's going on something's going on i think it's really fucked up uh for a
thing for alex to be using the absence of police brutality to be a standard by which he judges if
something was real or not i mean there's countless examples of shootings where people are taken in
with that incident generally when they're white and they surrender yep dylan roof and james holmes
both come to mind as shooters who were taken in without being beaten up i don't know what to say
other than i would hope that police never take it into their own hands just to rough people up for
no reason even if they have just committed a crime that seems like exactly the kind of jack
bootery that alex seems to have based his entire career on being against given that it seems so
weird to hear him legitimately suggest that the el paso shooter was probably not the real shooter
because cops didn't beat him up sort of implying that the normal thing for cops to do in his mind
is beat people up he's got a sick mind this guy yeah i mean on the other hand the normal thing for
cops to do kind of seems to be beat people up so i get that right thought process he's because cops
are are uh you know uh but he's not saying that to argue against cops beating people up i know
that's an important distinction that's what i yeah yeah that's that's what i'm saying yeah so
i guess that means that this guy wasn't the real shooter or something but now alex argues that there
were a bunch of shooters which is something that he is kind of going off of you know there were
first hand accounts of people who are saying that they thought there were or that they heard that
there were yeah but again a lot of that is not necessarily indicative of total truth i saw that
in the in the immediate aftermath of like it's possible that there may have been and and it's
like okay everybody is saying it's possible and there's a high likelihood that we'll we'll get
when we get more information it that it will be or it won't be but nobody knows and it's in the
immediacy of a fucking tragedy like this so much information is flying around yeah wires get crossed
yeah for for anybody to have been like there were you know every single time there is something
like this there are suspicions of multiple shooters there are people who are there on the scene who
think that they might have been multiple shooters a lot of the times that can be caused by like
echoing gunshot right um sounds from different directions right um and so i don't really care
too much about those uh first hand accounts at least it seems pointless to engage with them yeah
but alex has another reason to think there was a second shooter
anna giro tolly is a writer for the washington examiner she says according to my law enforcement
sources in el paso who gave me the apprehended shooter's name and age a second suspect was killed
when police responded to the walmart shooting police have not disclosed this info yet
mayor says otherwise but my sources says second suspect is dead that's a real tweet
anna giro telly did tweet out that law enforcement source of hers had told her that a second
suspect had been killed but by the time alex is on air here on monday she tweeted out a clarification
based on an update she received it turned out the police had detained a second person who was armed
at that at the scene but they released him it was a case of somebody passing along bad information
based on the chaos that was unfolding at the scene this is the sort of thing that happens
during every crisis and tragedy and it's why it's best for people who work for legitimate outlets
not to amplify uncredible uh unconserved reports when they do so it makes it easier for conspiracy
theorists to weave the credibility of their outlet into the later conspiracies as we see alex doing
here bad reporting and reports uh who uh reports of people who think that there were multiple
shooters on the scene are not evidence of anything suspicious these reports are all
investigated uh it's just that in the immediate aftermath of an event like this it's easy for
misinformation agents to use any confusion any slip-up to build to uh to make it look like
there's something more nefarious going on in the past i've likened it to concrete that's not yet
dried in the immediate period right after an event like this alex and his ilk can easily
imprint their suspicions and narratives onto the story but once the cement dries once the actual
information starts to come out that becomes a whole lot harder that's why alex made his video on
saturday on his day off about this yeah immediacy is key which is another big reason that he
desperately needs to get back on social media game is way easier right yeah it's uh if he was
like a jesus lizard running across concrete yeah fair fair enough i'm sorry i had to come back
fair enough it had to come back you knew it yeah you knew it um so alex thinks everything's fake uh
and it was all set up and one of the ways that he tries to argue that here is to bring up david hog
one of the guys from the parkland shooting and i think that's particularly offensive because he's
talking with mike adams the guy who made hog watch dot com uh and uh you know engaged in what
could amount to targeted harassment of a child whatever um so anyway uh here's what alex has
to say david hog said he was at home when the shooting happened and got there after but then
he's in videos i'm inside i'm in the closet he's outside shooting i mean which david hog is telling
the truth here this is based we talked about this before but this is based on um intentional
misrepresentation uh by the right wing of a video where david hog says after school he came back to
the school to shoot stuff he was in the school and then went home and then came back it's very
simple but because he says that he you know left and went back to the school in that clip that they
can take out of context they're able to create the appearance that his story is inconsistent
this is bullshit it's been explained over and over again yet alex continues to use it as some sort
of a way like everything's set up all the media lies and yeah no you just you're you're the one
doing it yeah it's pretty clear that our current strategy of like uh i suppose dealing with this
stuff is to counter it uh with either information or i i suppose the the left's own version of
misinformation uh is ineffective yeah that it's just not doing the job because he's still allowed
to say this bullshit yeah yeah so something needs to stop at the root before we ever even get to
like uh here's what here's snopes we need we need snopes to you know i think there just needs to
probably be civil consequences yeah there really does um i don't this shit can't go on but i don't
think it should be from the government i just think that people i honestly think that um
there should maybe be a class action lawsuit of all the people that alex jones has maligned
yeah uh because it would probably be too difficult for like one of them to go through all the
litigation right right maybe if tons of people who he's seriously maligned over the years got
together i i think i i don't know what the answer is that's probably not it either but
anyway alex uh you know he feels like he's being blamed for that el passive shooting
and uh he has a he has a culprit for the blame who's putting the blame on him it's the splc
i'm gonna go with and you can see the media saying it's trump's fault it's all gun owners fault
it's q anon's fault it's my fault yep it's paul joseph watchin's fault yep the southern probably
law center that kind of writes the scripts for all this we know they ran elain city the
oklahoma city bombing that even came out in federal lawsuits and court documents that they were
controlling major white supremacist groups across the country they came out and said oh look it's
q anon alex jones this guy's a fan of them off of people going on his social media taking down
that he was a democrat and adding that it's us i mean that right there is just bombshell information
this whole thing is unraveling my catam's incredibly quick well we know you'll be following and
covering it all probably will be poorly so we get back to the my life narrative there at the end
too this is so essential jordan did you know that elohim city still exists i did not know that
that's nuts that is nuts yeah eloha really yeah it does god damn it we got a man we got some
shit to figure out dad elohim city was founded in 1973 by robert malar after he had run a couple
of evangelical churches and camps around the country he had a smallish flock that he'd gathered
and they settled in the woods in oklahoma to set up their isolated utopia free from government
depression and that pesky multiculturalism oh also they were adherents to the christian identity
movement and thus they didn't feel like they're white supremacist beliefs or actual white supremacy
was just a recognition that they were white and therefore god's people yeah ha interesting this
keeps coming up uh they had a lot of connections to the arian nations as most right-wing separatists
do for elohim residents were members of the arian republican army who committed a string of 22 bank
robberies between 1994 and 1995 to get money to fund white supremacist groups many believe that the
400 acre elohim city compound provided a safe haven haven for a ra extremists to plan and train
the splc was not running elohim city they definitely had an informant there for some time
but nothing that alex is claiming to have been proven has been proven the splc was founded two
years prior to elohim city so you'd kind of have to believe that it was one of their early projects
that they cultivated for 20 years or so before the oklahoma city bombing or i guess you could imagine
that they somehow took over the compound which is pretty unimaginable considering robert malar was
in charge until he died in 2001 at which point his son john is taken over it doesn't make sense
that these hardline christian identity separatists now spades a spade dan they would shoot the splc
trying to take over on site they might shoot anybody who's wearing a shirt that says spl and
they just assume that it has the c after it yeah what alex is claiming requires evidence and he
never provides it this is the same sort of bullshit he tries to pull when he says that the clan are
all just feds it's his way of taking real rewing terror groups and entities that he's kind of some
ideological overlap with and then making them all fake oh sure the arian republican army robbed a
bunch of banks as part of a plan to violently overthrow the government and they had deep connections
to this christian identity compound but that was all just the splc none of it's real now
those antifa contact contracts i found on fortan those are totally real improved that the soros
is trying to start a race war to quote alex you see how that works god nice to see how his
manipulation nicely done now jordan i know we're deep into this episode but i think we're about to
get our second wind you know why because we had some bad guests so far tom papper shit mike
adams terrible but i got a guest coming up for you i know a few things about him he's neo oh no get
out of here stop it stop it he is the problem of he's not even allowed to be on this show now
this is it's today god damn it leo zegami is back these are the people who answer alex's call
what the fuck is he doing on um it's unclear um but we do learn something alex is he brings
up that he's about to be on the show and holy shit we learned something big about him that this was
not a part of his backstory before okay we got leo zegami who's an expert on false flags and actually
worked in the italian air force and was involved was that during the time of operation gladio
that was a nato plan staging hundreds of terror attacks to blame it on the left to maintain control
some of our other guests were in and around italy at the same time like steve pacinic
so um leo zegami again uh does not fail to bring the it turns out not only is he the air to the
illuminati throne not only is the reincarnated jesus as admitted by the vatican and the jews
not only is he single-handedly responsible for 9 11 he also apparently was involved in operation
gladio leo zegami is so full of shit but god damn it he's ambitious and i really respect him for that
according to his own bio he was dj'ing in the uk and had become a fixture at a bar called legends
when his career was disrupted when he had to return to italy to quote do it obligatory year of bollocks
in the military that was in 1987 so allegedly leo was in the military doing an obligatory year of
bollocks and that somehow led him to get mixed up in gladio gladio was first publicly recognized
by italian authorities in 1990 so alex might be taking that to mean that it was operational until
1990 so leo could have been involved in 1987 but this is not accurate even if you believe the
widest eyed conspiracy versions of what gladio was about it definitely was not in action as late as
1987 and a rave dj doing an obligatory year of bollocks before going back to the club circuit
would not be involved in any of the clandestine operations that were going on to begin with
but they weren't going on to begin with i he positions himself as like the forest gump of
stupid hundred percent it is he is anywhere and everywhere that's even close to a thousand percent
unreal is all bullshit fuck him but jordan you know what i love about this i love that the only
thing alex really has to sell this narrative to his audience on is that leo's italian that's all
that's it that's it yeah he might as well have a fucking uh uh what's his name uh mario no uh
shit uh father guido sarducci yeah yeah yeah yeah there's literally zero other proof uh of any of
the things that leo's saying yeah that alone is enough like just him being italian yeah
jesus christ everybody is stupid if you listen to anyone here fucking so bad also as it relates
to steve pochennec what alex is referring to is how steve was involved in the botched
hostage negotiation of kidnapped italian prime minister all don't morrow it's a really insane
and complicated story that i would love to get into right now but we are way too deep into the
show and i honestly think it kind of deserves its own episode so we might do that uh in the future
the tale of steve pochennec in italy which is real fucked up stuff so leo uh uh he's neo he's leo
yes yeah and he's here to stay the prophet of matrixism yeah um so he comes in here and he has a
different theory about these shootings and it's interesting because what you have to understand
is like even over the course of the last like three hours that we've been talking and listening to
these clips multiple different explanations have been proffered yeah um but they all are sort of
compatible to each other and in some form they literally every explanation that has been offered
has been as far away from akam's razor as like they are building a house around that very specific
razor in order to and it's in a fucking box locked tight even as the razor tries to escape
and tell them the very obvious reality it's fucking guns yeah it's and uh dudes uh guns and dudes
and white people uh toxic masculinity run amok yep um so but those aren't the theories that are
so here's what they're doing basically as i see it there is a unifying theory that is behind all
of the various different theories but they're throwing out a number of different things you know
whether it's brain control or their leftists yeah yeah whatever feels best is what they'll
run with right so in the day like the day after the next day um it's still in the sort of feeling it
out phase a tiny bit before seeing like what we'll run with and i guarantee that this is now what
they're going to run with what leo zigami brings to the table because this is nuts last week we had
this triggering word by one of the aspiring candidates this dark psychic force mentioned
by mariam wilson williamson and we'll play that next segment since you mentioned it well what was
she invoking there well this is a trigger word because once you trigger with these words subliminally
the agents get in action and mariam wilson williamson actually published a tweet between her and the
father of the air puzzle shooter that's right so so there is a connection that and we'll just say
it it's a new age cult people think they're getting into the new age but really they're once they get
into it they're being programmed you're getting close to slandering this father uh so yeah mariam
williamson said dark psychic energy and that was a trigger word to activate these shooters okay you
know i know i i know a lot i know a lot about my impulses and they come from an upbringing
of this type but god damn it if i didn't want to fucking slap leo zigami after i heard him say
those words like it's never a good idea no violence and shit but fuck somebody needs to slap him i
don't know that can't be done i don't know i think it can't do that it's interesting yeah also that
tweet between the shooter's father and mariam wilson was five years ago so i don't know i don't
know how deep can i and it was uh it was not a substantial tweet interaction who cares who cares
shut the fuck up leo so alex asks a rhetorical go back to the matrix matrix ism where he came
from i guess is that what we're doing i think so he's yeah exactly so alex asks a question in this
next clip that is meant to be rhetorical but i actually have an answer for him um and many spirals
after asking this question not coming to a good answer uh into just i mean his his theory and i
have this sense of urgency this sense of i'm upset at myself that there's something i need to do
there's something i need to say uh to stop this because we know more is coming and we know both
these guys were leftist and they were so sloppy they didn't even cover up their social media when
they said i hate god i hate christians i hate fascists that means conservatives and christians
i'm going to kill them and then it all gets taken down and replaced with fake stuff and you go to the
way back machine and the google archive and it's really them saying i'm a satanist hail satan
and then we watch him in real time change it i've now learned on both of them
and how huge is that how he's expanding this my life narrative now but when he starts that
he's like uh what can i say to stop this honestly him saying that makes me want to cry it does for
real i heard him say that i'm sorry the answer is literally the opposite of everything you
fucking say it's probably nothing go away go away stop it and he says because we all know this is
going to happen again yep that makes me want to fucking cry there's a very clear thing that he could
do there that is very clean come clean admit that he's been scamming people for a very long time and
it's gotten way out of control yep um but he's not going to do that it's too deep i guess yeah
so fucking monster i want to skip this next clip because just leo's again explaining this is all
about trying to take guns he's like the u.s is one of the only countries where you can have guns
that's not that's not true fuck off because we gotta i'm gonna skip it because we got to get to
this next clip because not only was leo's agami in gladio we find out he was also your forest
gump analogy is so right listen to this shit and i've actually infiltrated years ago the black
block groups that were basically what antifa has become and those groups are very easily to both
infiltrate manipulate and buy because i mean they are mostly of them are living with with money
that comes either from the rich parents or either from the state so he's infiltrated black block
man he has got some solid improv traps improv chops there because there's no way he had that in his
back pocket before getting on the show i started rambling about soros and antifa yeah and then he's
like and by the way i was in black block like no way do you just pull that you know like that's
pulled from thin air that i would love to that is solid shit i'm not in favor of torture so i would
not do any torture but i would love to make some sort of an arrangement where leo's agami would
have to answer my questions and just interview him yeah about everything yeah tell the truth or
just answer the questions tell the truth tell the truth yeah i was going to say no i i would
i would actually see both i would be fine with both i would want one interview where he gets a lie
and one where he gets to tell the truth i think i would prefer the one where he gets to lie because
it'd be way more interesting yeah it'd be way more interesting well actually and that's probably not
true if you told the truth those stories of his early dj days would probably be real crazy well i
bet he doesn't remember much i bet he does you think so he is pretty lucid he said he was known as a
i mean just of those days he said he was known as a the guy who's not all drugs ruin your memory
that's fair that's fair um so uh alex makes a we're coming to the end here and in these last
few clips i think um you see where alex um sort of the old alex not not like old old alex no no
the alex you you're used to in 2019 shows up he starts making panicky predictions he gets really
extreme and then he ends the show with outright narcissism here's the first clip where he makes
his uh insane prediction and keep in mind he's still throughout this episode both of these
episodes is trying to defend himself by like i just question we just question the events uh keep
in mind this is not questioning this is making a prediction we now know this is happening that's
the rubicon we've passed they intend to remove populist and trump they're committed now and they're
really gonna try it and when they finally try to remove trump and the rest of his support
they're gonna shut the internet off so i think that's why we're also freaked out this is it this
is it folks they're gonna go for it right now they're gonna go for it that's that's not questioning
things that's becoming they're gonna go for it that's the product of all the narratives that you've
created over the course of the last two days yep this is the now i am experiencing the narratives
that i have uh built along the way this is the natural end result of that if the if all of this
other stuff that i've said over the course of these uh episodes is true then the globalists are
making their move yeah which i mean we hear that all the fucking time but because of the severity
of the real world situation it becomes so much worse like he's using real tragedy to say um
a standard talking point of his that's what it all leads to is just the same shit yeah that's really
offensive going over the past two days of his show i it's almost like watching a man convince
himself he's not okay yeah yeah it's like it because it seems like he's this entire thing is
him creating all of these narratives and all and other people adding in narratives on top of that
all of which is to distract himself from the fact that he's a fucking murderer you know well if you
think that uh you might not be thrilled to hear uh as this episode wraps up he seems to be pretty
he almost seems to be expanding who he'd like to see targeted uh by uh by folks
democrats this year they love this kind of things and they like the love uh satan is because of
course they are all prevalently ataste they're not necessarily satanist they are satanist
without knowing it because anybody who is an ataste is actually a satanist and that's a big
problem that we're gonna have in the future we're gonna end up probably with a war of believers
against satanist so this is that's right let's talk about that coming war with the satanist because
it's here this is a war against satan it's god versus the devil that's all there's ever been all
there will ever be stay with us so i mean he's calling for a holy war that he says is already here
and it's a war between his version of christianity i suppose and all satanists who include atheists
who are satanists but don't know they're atheists also christians who don't believe what glitter bug
christians who are actually worshiping the devil all satanists the left satanists that you
hillary clinton is literally a demon yeah i'm sure you lump's islam in there too yeah oh for sure
what is it's just a battle between his christian identity uh veering beliefs against everybody
this is apocalyptic nonsense and it's fucking dangerous yeah i don't want i don't want to
get into a war because the right wing terrorists committed an act of terrorism and then blamed
it on the left and used it to justify calling for a holy war yeah i don't like that that seems
that seems unfair at least at least it seems like an escalation yeah it seems uncalled for yeah
so we have this last clip here and it starts with what i would describe as kind of an evangelical
plea like sort of a you know we need to get right with god which is what you expect it's
it's super weird that a lot of people don't understand this and we don't maybe make enough
of a point of it that so often the show does just turn into like god yeah it's just it becomes like
a weird religious show televangelism yeah yeah but it very quickly veers off course into what i would
describe as alex almost defining himself as what you need to find and they are planning a bloody
revolution here they're planning massive censorship across the country in the world this is a time to
be praying to christ for justice and for freedom and that god's spirit come into you and lead god
and direct you but it's also time to be politically and culturally active and it's time to spread the
word about info wars dot com and news wars dot com and override the ai sensors to override their
systems and to let people know hey here's the name that must not be spoken here's what the world fears
here's the guest and the information and the history and the analysis that is the cure to the
globalist poison there's a sense there that's almost like it starts with him saying you got to go get
god but also there's a ramping up is like you got to get people to come to me i am the only answer
to the globalist poison i am the cure that is a insane level of messianic narcissism that's coming
on the heels of him talking with leo zigami about having a holy war yeah and in the context of all
this stuff it's just this is insanity this whole thing is insane yeah yeah i've been writing this
thing so i've been doing a bunch of research and do all kinds of different stuff and that led me into
rereading the new testament uh actually earlier today and if there is anyone who is going to hell
according to jesus's rules alex is boom top of the list he's in trouble even in that clip he's nailed
like half the beatitudes like he's gone with the sermon on the mount get the fuck out of here with
that shit well that's just for glitterbug church even jesus's new covenant is gonna fuck him up yeah
and he was divorced so throw that on top of there oh boy yeah i committed adultery throw that in there
yeah he's he's in trouble and he is fucked i i mean we come to the end here and it's been long
i'm exhausted uh and i emotionally and physically yeah i i look at this and i think it's kind of
weird that we didn't talk that much about the shootings themselves or anything and i i don't
think that's weird at all i think that makes perfect sense i don't know if it's weird or not but i
went where alex led me yeah and that's kind of where we where we are why would why would alex
want to go anywhere near the reality the details yeah why would he want to go anywhere near that
because you cannot learn anything about those shootings and not go oh fuck we've got a real
problem yeah the details the details of these shootings point to many many problems but the
shootings themselves are part of the problem of guns that's that's a you know i i we should
absolutely be talking about white supremacist terrorism which is rampant right we should be
talking about misogynist dudes who are legion right but man they wouldn't be able to kill
all these people if they didn't have fucking automatic rifles that's true if they didn't
have all these fucking guns yep and maybe maybe there's a better converse there's a better conversation
than i can have on the best sure gun control measures but they sure as fuck wouldn't have
walked into a walmart and killed all these people if they didn't have a fucking rifle it's true
and there's a hundred other problems that we're facing in this country yeah and you know i don't
mean to give short shrift to any of them by focusing on this but it's what alex is talking
about on these two days and yeah um anyway we'll be back on friday indeed we will something less
this oh god please less this yeah too much i'm tired um but i can only imagine we'll be back
but we have a website it's knowledge fight dot com it is we're on twitter it's at knowledge
underscore fight grand at go to bed george we're on facebook we are on facebook you can download
our show by going to itunes you could also leave a review uh you could also just scour the internet
for different things that have both knowledge and fight in them generally speaking we keep uh
episodes of our show in the dg connection because you rarely see the edge e connection you know so
we keep them in between the d and the g cool uh put a little line in there and you'll get it i don't
feel like our outro is particularly appropriate uh for this episode so i will end by saying um
i am the jesus lizard andy in chansas you're on the air thanks for holding
hello alex i'm a first name caller i'm a huge fan i love your work i love you
