Episode Date: March 6, 2023

Today, Dan and Jordan do the show live at the X-Ray Arcade in Milwaukee, where it is time to celebrate Texas Independence Day, Alex Jones style.

it's Thursday March 2nd the second day of March on this Thursday March 2nd the I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are bad guys knowledge fight fight need need money 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 all the hard work hello Alex I'm a first time caller I'm a huge fan I love your work knowledge fight

knowledgefight.com I love you I love you everybody welcome to knowledge fight I'm Dan I'm Jordan we are a couple of dudes who like to sit on a stage

worship at the altar of Selene and talk a little bit about Alex Jones oh indeed we are Dan Jordan quick question for you buddy my bright spot today Jordan is we are here at the famous X-ray arcade

just a fantastic venue lovely crowd here in front of us we got DJ Danarchy on the ones and twos give it up for him Marty Dorosa telling some jokes Marty Dorosa I mean it's just it's bright as hell you know what I'm saying

yeah I know I think this is probably as good as it gets yeah let's get out of here yeah no shit bye what about you what's your bright spot because I stole the big audience popping one okay I suppose my bright spot is

tomorrow I'm gonna go to target with you I'm not coming you're not coming no you're going to target by yourself I gotta think of a new bright spot then alright for the sake of argument I'll come with you to target okay okay alright

well then I'm gonna get a pair of swim trunks yeah that's true yeah and then we're gonna get into a hot tub well that's I mean come on man and then we're gonna find another globalist well look and then we will be three globalists in a hot tub I know anything if two of us

the two of us get in a hot tub a third will just show up yeah that's that's that's true probably Soros I don't think we rate Soros yet anybody tracking we've gotten bigger but we're not Soros level yet I don't know I feel like we could probably

get a nod from Soros you know what I mean maybe not a check maybe not attention but like a polite Midwest nod I want a nod from a billionaire fuck you so your whole bright spot is going to target with me and getting a swimsuit tomorrow

no obviously my bright spot is these motherfuckers out here what do you want from me what do you want from me nothing is everything is anticlimactic to that like oh the drive was good yeah the drive was nice the drive was good it was only an hour we made it was good time such good time

you were all over the road like speed racer yep yep so um this is surreal I don't know why there are so many people here

who are who are fully aware that a large part of this show is going to be watching me read something from a word doc I guess it takes all kinds but Jordan we have an episode to go over today oh do we? yeah we do

I think there's always a little bit of a tension if you're doing a live show it's really difficult you want to do a normal show because people are coming because they like the show we're going to release it as a podcast anyway I mean you guys are important

but you're like 150 people or whatever so that's important so much for you guys being his bright spot you guys are nothing compared to downloads harsh

but like just doing a normal episode doesn't feel kind of right if we're doing a live show it feels like there needs to be something special about it and so I was poking around trying to find famous people from Milwaukee are there any? well that's not fair

you have Dahmer right? isn't uh I'm not doing that one that's not fun for a live show there was William Rehnquist Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist we were considering

covering the episode where he died the day after he died but that seemed a little dark that's a little bit on the nose Cato Kalen? I think Milwaukee gets to claim 50% of Mike Myers like Canada gets the rest?

yeah exactly he did the Millie Walkay if you even have that in your movie that's about as good as it gets alright that was an easy negotiation you all get half of Mike Myers unfortunately it's the love guru it's ooh

oof the pentaverit I was trying to find something to do something that would be fun and today is March 2nd and you know what that day is right? 3-2? 23

it is also Texas Independence Day nooooo it's a palindrome and an independence day today the greatest holiday for a Texan and as our show is about the world's greatest Texan I thought well hell let's go and see what he was doing

on a Texas Independence Day I assume he is still in the White House known as the Texas sure Biden calls him that it's grandfathered in it's printed all over the place it's already on the stationery

you can't do anything about it yeah we recently talked about Texas Independence Day on the show it recently came up on the podcast so I was really inspired by the history that I learned of at UT and so I decided

to really pull out all the stops and we have with us here tonight the last living member of the 1896 law school we don't have that I was gonna try and get a fake canon

I was gonna try and support you in that bit but I'm sorry I just could I understand I wouldn't have either so today we're gonna be going over March 2nd 2006 okay time in Alex's life

certainly 2006 I had just dropped out of college for the first time congratulations one of four we've been doing this podcast for many years and we've been friends but I didn't know it was four I've dropped out of

five colleges I mean technically according to some people I have a master's degree but according to more important people I have no degree that's a feat so we're gonna be going over this episode but before we do we should say hello to some wonks

oh that's a great idea so it's a little special thing people have filled out wonk names we did a thing you know what I'm realizing right now I don't have the wonk sound effect so I think people will have to say Europe policy wonk I think that's gotta happen

how many people can do the entire technocrat drop we're not gonna mess wait which one how many people can do all of the technocrat drop so first page just page

you're now a policy wonk thank you very much next KG at home you're now a policy wonk thank you very much I'm guessing that's somebody who could not make it they're one of the important people who will be listening later

ooh this one's blank thank you very much Maxwell of the poor historians podcast you are now a policy wonk thank you very much alright that's enough of that it was like it was a

50-50 proposition at best so I'm gonna spoil this right out of the gate the Texas independent state doesn't even come up once it's kind of a theme of these live shows I don't find what I'm looking for

and in this case we do not hear anything about Texas independent state or the wonderful law school students from 1896 but we do have some big news and so we'll start the episode here with this

welcome ladies and gentlemen it is Thursday the second day of March 2006 we're gonna be live here for the next three hours we're gonna have wide open phones on any news topic any issue any item you disagree with me you agree with me

comment 1-800-2599-231 Ron Paul will be showing up sometime in the third hour he is scheduled today yeah no Texas independent state but I heard that and I thought Ron Paul fuck yeah you know who likes you know who likes that guy

crowds of young non-insane people I am just now realizing that as what amounts to the audience surrogate I am no longer necessary once you guys are doing the oh in the middle of the clip

what do I do what do I do someone help me we'll get to that shortly I assume but yeah so how do you feel about the prospect of talking about Ron Paul in front of a bunch of people okay in 2006

what was Ron Paul most recently known for being racist against that is a great question yeah I mean it could be I mean he could run the gamut really true I don't know I mean he hadn't run for president in 08 and 12 yeah so he hasn't had that

so he's still kind of is he a house member now in 2006 still well see here's the thing I don't know because he was well now you're unnecessary to the show touche he was for a long time

he wasn't for a while and then he got in the house again he got in the house again I think he is back in 2006 is he back now in spirit he's not there but he is definitely he's represented and I mean we are our ancestors

so I mean Ron Paul is Ron Paul that is true but now he's switched over to the the senate I wonder what the next one's gonna do I was listening to this episode and I thought Ron Paul coming up pretty exciting but I got caught

off guard by a lot of commercials in this episode that I found upsetting so here is one of the commercials that Alex was playing in 2006 love me anymore you should take such good care of me is that my car

talking to me yes you neglect me change my oil late most of the time music eat this gas I'm getting sick one of these dates I'm just gonna give up wait a minute I've got three more years of payments on you if you want me to last forever you need to add protecta engine treatment

protecta transmission treatment and especially protecta complete fuel system treatment protecta's unique synthetic fortifiers treat the metal and the oil to reduce friction like no other okay I'll add some protecta but you'll have to perform how about faster acceleration

more horsepower longer lasting I'll just be there for you so if you want more treat it right with protecta by SFR okay so Dan as your Ford Focus if you do not take care of me I will fucking kill myself

that's my ad I kind of prefer that ad to be hey do you want to fuck your car do you want it to feel better when you fuck your car are you experiencing a weird abusive relationship with your car and the other part too of it that's really bizarre

is that like there's some sort of an interpersonal relationship going on but he has three more years of payment he has bought this personified car he's fucking now there's a whole host of questions that arises once you're there is indentured servitude

okay if it's a car these are the questions that transhumanism and robots are night writer night writer keep saying it I'm just concerned like is this the conversation we didn't hear

you think that's kit I think that's kit might have been kit there's a lot of characters in 2006 who were there there's a number of characters who aren't there but as we know from monitoring Alex Jones over the years

Paul Joseph Watson is a pretty consistent presence on the show that's fair I mean it was a little mild of a boo alright I like that so here whoever yelled fuck him

what you don't know is that in 2006 Paul Joseph Watson was on fire he was doing such a good job so I don't forget and not cover this let's just do it right now two articles by Paul Watson who is a man on fire

Paul is working I can report to you 18 hours a day without being pushed and prodded because he knows the time is short he knows the enemy is coming he understands how serious things are and he is now working as hard as I am and I commend him

Steve's working pretty hard as well being a rockstar in London and beating the women off with a stick you ought to witness it when I was over there with him but he's putting in about 8 hours a day he needs to get on fire I'm just teasing you Steve

I'm just teasing you Steve I love Steve he's a great guy great guy Alex seems fun to work for I don't understand how it is that he can be proud of a guy who is obviously not working 18 hours a day and then shit on the guy who's

traveled to work yeah but you know what it is fun to have these brothers Paul Joseph Watson and Steve Watson both work for Alex and him go on there and be like Paul's doing such a great job that dude is so on fire Steve sucks he'd be good if he wasn't trying to get laid

all the time is this like a Japanese management technique where it's like you play the brothers against each other I have to assume he thinks they're like would never hear this but it's on a regular show it seems like personal shit I mean that just means he knows

they don't listen to a show or he really doesn't like Steve that's fair so Paul Joseph Watson has these articles okay he's working on them all this is so exciting I just gotta commend Paul Joseph Watson

right now because he's on fire let me just read this little article he wrote about the Simpsons situation what is the Simpsons situation in 2006 can you guess what the Simpsons situation is

Homer Simpson war address that's interesting no would you like to make another guess okay Lisa Simpson was like maybe people should have healthcare oh that sounds like her

yeah that does sound like that I feel like that's reasonable for in character stuff yeah single payer sax break when did they kill Mr. Burns that was in the 90s right that was like 95 no no no

also Mr. Burns is still alive what? yeah this is news so here is what the Simpsons situation is okay what's the Simpsons situation why Americans know more about the Simpsons than the Constitution and why it is

a benchmark of how much danger we are in most Americans can name Simpsons characters then they can the freedoms that the First Amendment upholds again more Americans can name Simpsons characters and they can the freedoms

that the First Amendment upholds this is a benchmark of how much danger the country is in and the blame can be laid with public education damn okay so if I understand correctly

people can name too many Simpsons characters too many in comparison to the number of freedoms we have well there's five protections of the First Amendment and there's five primary family members of the Simpsons so you can't just throw around smithers

and ponds mole man okay what about Moe nobody out there help him I'm sure you don't you dare ask me this I'm sure you can name all five family members I'm sure you can

Homer, Marge Marge you're so fancy Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie that's correct now what do you want from me

the First Amendment all five of them freedom of speech, freedom of the press freedom of religion freedom to congregate and freedom to masturbate all five baby

the fifth one is you have the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances the one everyone remembers because it makes so much sense it doesn't feel like it fits in with the others so obviously people would mistake them or mess up that one but also the Simpsons

are characters I think that if you had fun cartoons that were slightly offensive and really funny for 20 years and the characters in it were the amendments freedoms people would be able to name them what kind of proof of concept would you have

like some sort of cartoon that is beloved across generations about how bills become law there's no way that exists so this also was a poll that was carried out by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum

which is actually in Chicago I'm sorry we should go visit it are they like an accredited poll what's their bias are they like Rasmussen what kind of five points they're a freedom museum

they are and it was basically this whole article was just a clickbait press release type of thing because the freedom museum was opening in April 2006 so this was just getting the word out about the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum

and then they closed after three years because no one gave a shit they should have opened the Simpsons Museum clearly yeah the Simpsons Museum still going strong I don't know there's like 40 of them it's a nevergreen concept it's basically in most people's homes

there's so many towns named Springfield you can put it anywhere alright I don't fault silence there because that was not anything that meant anything it was just a sentence the silence is my fault

is how this works that's how this relationship works so Alex gets to talking about how much these freedoms no one knows about them public education's fault and this launches him down

an entire rabbit hole about how the globalists are intentionally making sure that no one gets a good education school is making you dumb I just have one thing to question is like if you have freedoms shouldn't you not know

what they are that you being free to do them that's interesting so you're saying you can only know the boundaries of your freedoms you cannot know your actual freedom you can only really know that it exists once it's been breached so shouldn't you not know your freedoms

if you were free maybe and you're really smart because you didn't have those public education graduation a degree school didn't have a chance to make you dumb so anyway Alex talks a little bit about this

similarly the Rockefeller education board which funded the creation of numerous public schools issued a statement which read in part and in my first film America just went by design I go show a model U.N. brainwashing session at UT with high school juniors and seniors

and I've been researching at the UT library and had read quotes by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation saying this and guess what I went and pulled the actual report by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation

and actually read it from their own report when I read this 10 years ago I did not believe it and back in the day you couldn't find this stuff on the web I spent every week I was down there for hours at UT and every time I read a quote somewhere

I said that's not true and I go down every time patriots have been so honest especially back in the day it was just all true no matter how horrible it sounded no matter how horrible it was it was true see that's my experience too back when they were like

aha the shape of your forehead means you're evil they knew what they were doing back then the patriots back then were so honest everything was so correct and true absolutely that's why they edited their bibles so Alex

pretends that he's reading a Rockefeller document here that he's gone to libraries and founds so let's enjoy a little bit of that beginning to realize how bone chilling this is let me read to you from the Rockefeller Foundation

Rockefeller Brothers report quote it continues similarly the Rockefeller Education Board which funded the creation of numerous public schools issued a statement which read in part so he's not actually reading a Rockefeller I was about to say that doesn't sound right

yeah no he's reading off like a conspiracy blog that's what he's doing that sites or I should say miss sites a Rockefeller adjacent I just read Moby Dick and now to quote a book report by somebody who didn't read Moby Dick

gotcha so he talks a bit more about this here he goes on and a passage from this Rockefeller document continues similarly the Rockefeller Education Board which funded the creation of numerous public schools issued a statement which read in part

now hold on to your hats and I have read this from the report in our dreams people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands the president educational conventions intellectual and character education fade from our

minds and unhambred by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk we shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science

we hate and it goes on we have not to raise up from among us authors educators poets or men of letters we shall not search for the embryo of great artists painters musicians nor lawyers doctors preachers

politicians statements of whom we have ample supply the task we set before ourselves is very simple we will organize children and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way

did you hear that and then David Rockefeller another speech he gave paraphrase this and said the public schools are helpless people yielding themselves to our molding hands our molding hands he just gave like a fucking four paragraph quote

and then his his paraphrase is like hey public schools need help that also that last part not true not real he was paraphrasing the thing that he had just said so that wasn't written by any Rockefeller

nor was it from a Rockefeller brothers foundation paper it's a quote that's found in a paper called the country school of tomorrow written by Frederick T. Gates in 1913 Gates was the chair of the general election board which John B. Rockefeller did donate to generously

but passing this off as a statement by the Rockefellers is kind of dishonest it's also a completely butchered quote with pieces removed in order to give it a completely different context than its original meaning yeah I mean the problem is that it didn't make sense at all

like I understand giving it a different context but you removed anything that would make it mean anything in words yeah I feel like that's what happens you know things make less sense when you take pieces out of them when you remove meaning from words they can mean whatever you want yeah Alex and all conspiracy theorists present

this quote as proof that the schools are designed to dumb people down but they leave out one important point which connects to the larger context and that is this is about country schools in 1913 the problem that the text is when the marm enters the room

the problem that the text is presenting is that the education that takes place in rural schools is disconnected from the concerns and real life experiences of the children in those schools observers visited schools and found some where everyone quote teacher and pupils alike were suffering from hookworm disease

and even estimated that as many as 40 to 60 percent of the children had disabilities that would be easily preventable with the correct intervention you should learn about hookworm then stop with the schooling just tweak the schooling a little just start with hookworm and then move forward

simultaneously quote the farm demonstrators of the general election board of which there are several hundred in the south complete with a series of pictures of rural life in the more neglected sections of worn out soil inefficient cultivation scanty crop abandoned field

overgrown with bushes deeply washed and gullied hillside rotten orchard sprawling fence tumble down house with unkempt and littered surroundings they like lists back then yeah that was a list fan a hell of a sense this paper proposes that the state of

fairs was not good for the state of agriculture nor for the people living in those communities and the educational system as it existed wasn't helping anyone thus you have the passage where Gates says the stuff about like we will not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or science

it's not about creating a school to make people dumb instead quote we are trying we are to try to make that life just where it is helpful intelligent efficient to fill it with thought and purpose and with the gracious social culture not without its joys

right also this sentence is literally always cut out of the quote when it's posted on conspiracy sites quote with respect to these high things all that we shall try to do is just to create presently about these country homes and atmosphere and conditions

such that if by chance a child of genius should spring up from the soil that genius will surely bud and not be blighted so it's not about making people dumb it's about like this let's give everyone a chance so this was written in 1913 right yeah yeah they were so

bored they had to write like this like they couldn't just be like okay we're gonna teach them practical shit you heard that list do you think that was like a first draft or no no no no see but that's the thing like I could take out this part about the fence see in the things that I didn't get a degree

in I learned that writing at that time lists were really really important and you only added on to them I don't know if you've ever read a book by Salinger yeah that seems to be like that was the time when you got paid by the letter to you did you did get paid by the letter you're not wrong

and Elron Hubbard made a religion out of that yeah yeah good on him it worked yeah it did can't argue with the can't argue with the results so anyway Alex is lying about this stuff he's just trying to bullshit about schools and I think essentially the connective tissue is he's complaining

about schools and how they make you dumb because more people know the Simpsons characters than the the was that the connection we're still on the Simpsons that's where it sprawled from okay all right so because children in 1913 learned practical things

and now we know too many Simpsons characters no one will become a philosopher ever again here's a fun game what's the most obscure Simpsons character you can name this is impossible for me to judge by the way I never watched many much Simpsons you could just

make up a name I don't even know what obscure means you should have gone to college oh shit hahahaha to be fair much like Sideshow Bob you walked into that rake absolutely happily

uh yeah I don't know Sideshow Bob who fucking cares nailed it and I mean with Simpsons characters it's like it's but we've been together too long that's true I know I know it too well it's like a brother that I don't want to see except for on holidays sure so I think

maybe after that lying about public schools maybe we should cleanse our palate and hear another weird commercial here's another thing that Alex is hawking back in 2006 months now you've been hearing about the incredible health benefits of Zango

the functional health beverage made from the whole fruit of mango scene what you probably didn't know is that Zango joined forces with the leading manufacturer and distributor of functional health beverages like Capri Suns, Sobi, Mystic and Red Bull to create the fastest growing business opportunity in America

today are you sick of barely having enough money are you tired of working so hard yet feeling like you'll never get a help are you ready to start investing in your own business instead of somebody else's whatever it is you seek Zango could be the special company that helps you achieve your hopes and dreams so take

matters into your own hands create a future that doesn't depend on a fickle 401k and lateral promotion Zango is what you are looking for yeah I was confused with the commercial what does this business do yeah I thought I was getting juice at first and then it's a pyramid scheme

alright what's going on alright we started with mango scene and then there is a conspiracy of people working together to destroy us how did we get to 401ks what's the journey there hey are you tired of aspiring to have a 401k that's what I thought

join my MLM all of your problems will be solved with mango scene so this was a company called Zango starting with an X and there's a couple of fun things about this company the first is that they at this point

were making completely unsubstantiated health claims yeah and they would go on to get a cease and desist warning letter from the FDA about this just a few months later in September 2006 the list of claims they were making is actually pretty impressive they were

trying to pull this off they claim that their mango steam drink could do everything from working as an antidepressant to preventing gum disease it would lower your fever and also prevent cancer sure it's honestly a little over the top even in the realm of products that are sold on info wars

their corporate structure is a huge mess too a couple years after this point in 2006 they would completely implode with lawsuits from investors making allegations of corporate looting where the founders just were like siphoning off funds like a pyramid scheme

yeah they claimed it could do everything what did you think I'm not gonna try and if there's money I'm gonna get it for me I'm not gonna leave it there in the company you don't understand the go away part of this transaction where I am going to go away

it's dangerous for that money to be sitting there because this business could implode at any moment listen you've got so many health problems I can see that I need to keep this money away from you you'll get it sick yeah so Alex is trying to like get his audience into a mangosteen MLM

a lot of really helpful ads is what I'm saying on this episode again I was looking for multi-level mangosteen Texas Independence Day I got weird commercials mostly I'm confused what did Texas declare

independence from exactly from your shit another rake oh boy I'm even annoyed with myself I like that you've come out of your shell and become more annoying what was it like

was it Mexico Spain it has to have been Mexico right sure because they stole it yeah that's gotta be it they declared we wouldn't know if Alex talked about it but he didn't it is it would be a little bit different if they called it

we own your shit day that would change the context it's potato potato so there's some secret documents that Alex is gonna be reporting on and this is exciting and then gets really dark a former dissident who was in prison in Soviet gulags

for a total of 12 years has warned that he personally saw secret documents in 92 which outlined a conspiracy to turn European Union into a socialist dictatorship well look what they're trying to do right now in a speech in Brussels 63 year old of Vladimir Bovatsky described the contents

of the still classified polta burrow and central committee documents it's kind of worrying that Alex doesn't know the word polat burrow did he say polta burrow yep yes he did he seems confused

first off I want to eat a polta burrow right now I just got hungry and I don't know what it is I mean look there's a lot of words I don't know plenty of them I mean but even if you've never heard

it's even okay so it's a word that polat burrow is a word that even if you've never heard someone say before you still won't go polta burrow you can if you're cold reading you cannot do that alright fair

but also Alex claims to be like the world's foremost expert on communism and a great cold reader yeah yeah also this guy's name is Vladimir Bovatsky not Bovatsky we all know who Bovatsky belongs to well that's the theosophist folks

now I'm confused but see it's it Bovatsky and Bovatsky is an easy mistake to make when you're cold reading but if you're someone like Alex who claims to be an expert on the evils of the Soviet Union you should know who this dude is he was a major dissident voice in a big part of the anti-Soviet Union

community throughout the years he claimed that he was shown these documents in 1992 when he was an expert witness against the Soviet Union this has never been corroborated and is almost certainly made up particularly damning that he's coming out with these allegations now at this point in time

considering two years prior he'd written a pamphlet titled the EUSSR and he didn't include this juicy tidbit then oh that's unfortunate kind of seems like it would have helped his argument at that point yeah it's always trouble whenever four years after an event happened you're like I totally saw it coming

oh also in 2015 Bovatsky was arrested in the UK for possession of child exploitation material wow come on one story doesn't end there

yep yep I told you not great dark he had been gathering stuff between 1999 and 2014 and he quote said in essence he didn't see what harm he was doing sky sucks

yep he died before he was able to stand trial so it's sort of a small victory I mean you know so let's move along from that because now that I've said it I almost feel like I shouldn't have

so let's get back to commerce in the past I feel like in front of a crowd my transition game might not be as strong you know it may it may make you feel for some reason like all of these years where I've said

that's a great transition alone alone in my room my transitions are growing it's great no no no so anyway back in the past Alex always used to have his water filter sponsor on pretty much every day

and Texas Independence Day is no exception got some new specials some new burkies out tell us about those different units and what they do and why folks need them well we have the new travel burky which I think is really a really good

product because it's a smaller burky than the big burky it only holds a gallon and a half it's made out of stainless steel it's available everywhere except Iowa and you can

hold two black burky certification elements in it that always struck me as weird because I've heard her say that a lot it's everywhere but Iowa what is it about Iowa that makes this particular burky unacceptable

well it's actually all burkies all burkies are white what in Iowa no burkies Iowa is staunchly anti-burky okay okay let me throw this out you let me throw this out listen I know a lot about Iowa and I know what they outlaw

are you sure they didn't misunderstand how to spell burka I'm not positive but I can tell you what the situation is for the water filter so Iowa is the only state in the United States that does not allow third party testing of claims made about water filter

efficacy that's actually great right isn't that good I mean for other states on the other side what third party meaning neutral or third party meaning like they can hire somebody to do it so it's good for Iowa to not allow that

no okay no they allow you to put a water filter on the market if you just buy somebody to do the testing for you whereas every other state requires an independent certification oh okay oh well then yeah what the fuck is wrong with Iowa

wait no I feel like you might be misunderstanding Iowa has a higher standard I don't understand okay so pretty much every other brand of water filter has this certification that's the NSF ANSI

certification and it is the mark of quality so if you're in the market like in any other and in every wait hold on I was confused wait now I'm yeah now we're going back I was taking it out on you and I was the one who was wrong see

that's what I thought but then now I don't even know I don't either I can't trust you should we put it to a crowd vote am I wrong that didn't work look here's the bottom line yes

burkey water filters do not have this independent certification and therefore they're not allowed to be sold in Iowa they can sell them in every other state they can't sell them in Iowa we established the thing that we knew five minutes before this whole thing started you bet okay

in 2002 the New York Times wire cutter did an analysis of burkey filtration systems and they found that they were very effective at removing lead from water and that was a strong indication that they were able to remove other heavy metals that's great however they removed way less chloroform

than burkey claimed they did which calls into question how good the filters are at removing organic material in the water or if they had other intentions for the installers of these water filters I don't think the testing for the New York Times

was a prank okay well that's fair so their test for the New York Times was a 99.8% decrease that's advertised by Burkey what did they do so the Times compared their findings with other available results

from lab tests with burkeys and found that the numbers were all over the place and none of the tests performed even came close to the rigor that's required for that full certification which is a cause for concern it's unclear from any available information but the inconsistency definitely makes

a person think that maybe Burkey knows that they could not pass that certification requirement so they just decided to say fuck it we're not going to sell anything in Iowa I appreciate that it's not a terrible plan honestly like their target customers are all people who hate the government I mean adjust your expectations accordingly

is a fair business strategy sure you have all these people who are like anti-regulation it's like oh this isn't certified who gives a shit they don't want to know if it's evil how many people are going to be buying their water filters in Iowa anyway two

I don't know I know nothing about the water filter market they're also too big for most countertops they're supposed to be countertop water filters they're 19 inches tall and the standard countertop is

18 inches there's a lot of I don't even want to read some of these because they involve like slime buildup and what have you built up I have some bad reviews of Berkeley water filters that I have decided to

go ahead and punt on yeah the other day these turtles suddenly became fucking ninjas the secret of the ooze it turns out that's what it was about is the big burke it might be on to something so Jordan

we heard earlier in the episode we're going to take some calls it's always nice when we go to the calls and we hear a friend oh is Dan from Illinois up here? no old man house phone? I need to leave if you're already there

I'm sorry to disappoint it is not old man house phone but it is the man that you have recently dubbed Louisiana Dentures oh Louisiana Dentures is back alright I have a firm that his name is Charles okay

I don't want to mention no names but I've got four phone calls this morning one by retired policeman on another program they're saying on a defense department of defense that this month they're supposed to go into Marshall all of some cities

I'm not sure they're going to shut it down George Bush has got a lot of heat on him right now they have to do something because they are mad here in Louisiana they're really mad they're really upset

I've been getting phone calls all morning and another thing what happens to this $85 million that George Bush senior and Clinton collected for the storm nobody has got nothing sir the UN is giving almost none of the money they got

they're about to crooks do you think that it's possible that the United States down well they've been saying for six months they were going in in late March to strike on Iran on election day what is it the 27th or 28th in Israel look I don't know

they said they were going to go into Iraq in 2002 of March they went in in 03 so I don't know sir I mean certainly the preparations have been made I don't think they're far enough along I almost want to give them a round of applause we're saying I don't think they're going to do Marshall law this month

that takes restraint what a very specific level of restraint though not this month dude look they're not ready come on not enough plans what are you talking about what month are we in we're in March

you start Marshall law in June right summer months it's a summer of rage it's a summer of lockdowns it's a summer of all of these things I do love the way that Charles from Louisiana says storm

I like how he's very non-committal about some or all cities will be under Marshall law there is a huge gap between some or all cities some could be two yeah

so is Minneapolis shut down but St. Paul is fine yeah St. Paul becomes the globalist base camp to enslave Minneapolis fuck knows what happens to the Quad Cities two of them globalist base camp

they have to fight each other to the death it's a game theory thing it's a whole mess right and you know who's in charge who? Quad City DJs damn it yes yes two claps exactly correct

for the Quad City DJs I do appreciate the enthusiastic clap of somebody who got it slower less committed clap of people who are like maybe I should have gotten it I have been emboldened by the first person clap I wasn't going to say anything

what a genre of music that was though them and like the 69 boys what fun 69 boys with a Z so you know it's good yep so good news bad news I gotta move

quicker so everybody can get on five calls right now as fast as I can I'm going to get back in the news and Ron Paul's floating next hour he's in a meeting with the general right now with his Liberty committee and they had to move it back but he's set for some time the next hour

and 90% of the time he joins us on the day he says he will but he's in DC right now in some committee meeting with the military so as soon as he comes out of that meeting in the next hour he's scheduled to join us so if Ron Paul's in the wind

we might not be getting anything from that old racist after all listen I understand that he was a congress person he genuinely had that power but there's a hard in my mind

Ron Paul meeting with a general is like what if we killed them all like that's all I hear in my head it's not like I don't get any of that I hear meeting with a general and I say whoopity shit I don't

I don't know how often people in the government meet with a general probably often does it help or hurt what does a general do at a meeting? tells you the land look I think that it's very funny it's very funny for Alex to say

Ron Paul is in a meeting with the military he's in a meeting with the military because that sounds like what a child says yes it does I'm going to meet with the military alright I will become king of the military sure you will little Alex

yeah I think you will so anyway Ron Paul may or may not show up but in the meantime we have another commercial do you know the truth about breast cancer did you know that the race for the cure is over? the best kept secret in the country today

is that it is now possible to kill cancer without personal suffering, mutilation and poisoning of your entire system now it's cancer's turn to die with laser med ink's patented methodology without cutting, bleeding, drugs or damaging radiation we can destroy tumors of any size

without adverse side effects at a physician's office Star Wars technology at its best for more information call 302-67-702-953-0267 or visit www.lasemedink.com something doesn't sound right about this this isn't the cancer you're looking for

was that technology? I guess maybe it was Star Wars technology so I assume that they are going to put you in a back to tank yup make you drink blue milk wear the thing and you'll do the okay, alright

so I mean, wow look, we have not had cancer since 2006 I have one problem just one? for a lot of things and that is if somebody says we can cure your cancer and you don't have to do anything

it's just not good we got magic hey you walk in we cure your cancer you get out the big macs are free that's the sketchiest fucking commercial I've ever heard so that was an ad for

Lasemedink which is a company that pushes the treatment they developed called Laish Therapy spelled L-I-E-S-H and it's all abbreviated like all capital letters all dots it stands for light induced enhanced selective hyperthermia

and I'm not sure what that means precisely but I can tell you that it's fraudulent light, read that one more time light induced enhanced selective hyperthermia okay, so that means that light induces a selective

hyperthermia so it's heat so it means that you are going to feel it's not even heat you're just going to feel a temperature a lot and a laser is going to do it so it could be like oh man you're going to feel the shit out of this 65 degrees

it is so temperate in here oh shit light induced hyperthermia yes so they put you in a sun lamp they put you in a tanning bed that's what it is, it's a tanning bed

you might be too generous that's fair, yeah it's a tanning bed that they can't afford to turn the lights on because a tanning bed you come out with a tan that's fair it does something and this one you come out with cancer yes

still who was found guilty of 29 charges involving defrauding cancer patients who she claimed she could cure resulting in her getting 5 years probation and 1.1 million dollars she had to pay in restitution has anybody ever noticed

how for a lot of these characters Dan has a habit of putting a comma right before was found guilty for the founder of said blah blah blah comma was found guilty for it's a lot easier to tell the tales of these

horrible people when we're alone in a room because there's not the very understandable groans and no aww so she was also successfully sued in civil court with a jury awarding the family of one of her victims 2.5 million dollars

Carpenter told these suffering people that her treatment was 100% effective with no side effects which of course was bullshit what she actually did was inject their tissue with a quote mixture of saline solution and dye composed of either ordinary

food coloring or walnut hull extract was that a quote from her or from someone else from the lawsuit okay it wasn't a quote from her like here's what I got for you baby she would then heat the tissue with a laser and then boom

they're cured she would discourage patients from seeing other doctors for examination after their treatment which that should raise some red flags I think okay okay so I get it so the dye lights up under the so when you get injected no no no but you get injected

with the dye right and then you put it under the light and then you see a thing and you're like ooh I'm healed as fuck maybe that's gotta be it cause I'm imagining she just has the vials of the liquid and cause it has food coloring and it looks like it's something other than a saline solution

I'm imagining a whole psychodrama where somebody comes in and they're like I need another hit and she's like if you don't take this if you don't give me what I want and it smashes it on the ground so any negative experiences that the patients had after the treatment

like pain or other effects of untreated cancer were explained away by the body quote ridding itself of cancerous tissue in a natural and normal way 100% effective rate she told these people that the treatment she performed had worked and that they were cancer free

she's awful Carpenter's non-treatment has led to at least one death that of Cindy Babeka who sought treatment for breast cancer and continued to get worse as Carpenter took her money and provided fake medical care it's hard to precisely pin down how many other people

had been hurt or killed partially thanks to this fraudulent scheme people who are diagnosed with cancer are often scared oncologists aren't the types to throw around false hope so if you get a diagnosis and it doesn't look good it only makes sense that you'd be thrilled to hear any confident voice that's like

hey I got the solution for you it's one of the lowest things people can do to each other to exploit another person's pain and desperation which seems like the only explanation for what she's up to do you know what I think of immediately Daria

that's the type of psychopath this is where I bet if you scratched her she'd be like isn't it better for these people to believe that they're cured it's in line with her logic it really does seem like there's a good psychopath test there

John Ronson can go fuck himself with all that other bullshit just like is Daria a psychopath if you think no then you're a psychopath I look forward to reading your transcript it's gonna be a short book it's gonna be a short book so Alex is taking money to promote

this woman to his audience and I think there's only two things that can come from airing a commercial like this one, people with severe cancer get funneled towards laser med ink people scam a few grand off them while providing fake hope in colored water injections or two, people with treatable

cancers don't go to get appropriate care and choose something like colored water injections leaving them far more vulnerable to die and Alex is taking money for doing that why would you run that commercial? yeah, no when I was a hearing aid specialist

I had a woman come in one time who was like actually I can't hang out today my daughter and I both have Lyme disease so we're flying to Florida to see this homeopathic doctor and I want what do you do?

at this point, I'm theoretically supposed to be in authority in some fashion what do I just... NOOOOO what do I do? let me explain why homeopathy is stupid what do you just go sorry

so that's a bad commercial it's a bad commercial I think we've seen a number of profiting off tragedy the best commercial is the guy who wants to fuck his car that was a great one

I've warmed up to the Ford Focus trying to kill itself to exploit my love at the beginning everyone was like that's a perfectly normal commercial so great so I don't know if Alex is listening to his own show for the first time

but I found this moment incredibly bizarre because this is exactly I guess what he should be saying before I go back to your calls let me just say this if you hear my voice endorsing a product

on this radio show, that means I believe it don't do this I don't want people to get in trouble when they hear some of the folks saying we've got get out of debt systems that are 100% bulletproof I don't know if that's the case I'm just saying I don't endorse that

and I don't just sell any magic products or this or that I don't want you to believe that and not be the case and I morally have to say this and you hear it all over the top radio I'm not blaming anybody here that's the way the society is

and I'm just separating myself from it right here on air when I talk about real made America water filters at the top of the line industry standards water's full of poison you need to get everywhere but Iowa there we go

that is so fascinating because I'm listening to this episode and I'm hearing like what the fuck are these commercials this is a tragedy and then Alex out of nowhere is like hey look these commercials are fucked up I would never do this shit I'm not going to give you magic products

anyways these water filters that don't do what I say they do buy that shit these things that are advertised on the network that is my primary sponsor it really trickles down to me through the payment for my airtime I don't endorse these things

these things are nutty why don't you get Ted Anderson on the phone and tell him not to play the fake cancer at that dude seems like he has that kind of pull right all all info words ads should be limerick based that is my true belief I agree

in all things if you can't turn it into a limerick then it's gotta be dirty there was a calben soap commercial on this episode but it did not involve limerick well then who fucking cares cutting room floor

he doesn't get to be in the show if you don't do a limerick no it wasn't Marty Schachter it wasn't the guy it was Alex just he wasn't being forced into that situation so Alex he has this standard now that he's established and that is that if he's reading this then he believes in it and he is endorsing it

well here's a little commercial it's not Alex reading it but it's technically Alex's boss reading it which is weird I'm sorry what?

I'm sorry what? this feels great I love wearing windmills this is it no no you're absorbing the gender so try Vortex try Vortex okay

what shouldn't they tell you what vitamins you are wearing though I would like to know like right now no I mean they're gonna okay I'm gonna wear some vitamins what vitamin B12 am I gonna wear vitamin D these are the questions you answer

on this credit card page that's how they get you that's how they get you so try Vortex it's a company scam that's run by this guy named Brian Anderson and like this website is amazing there's a bunch of magical bullshit on there

he sells these discs that you can put drinks on like a coaster okay you can't sell cures and discs it's a disc that you put a drink on and it's like metal or something and it magically makes the contents taste better no you can't do that

no you can't sell vitamins you wear discs that make your shit taste better that's not how it works do you want to hear the beginning of one of the test absolutely the testimonials for the discs of course quote I love your product and so far I'm impressed

with how real they are and I definitely didn't write this to the owner of the company the discs the discs have eight testimonials and there's two of them that are like

there's one that's by name X and then there's a second I don't remember what the name is but there's two that are doubled up it's the same person who wrote two testimonials for the same product it's very sketchy it's definitely not the guy who owns the product

losing track of his illnesses so not only do they make liquids taste better but they also heal body pain they make cold body parts warm and cool down body parts that are too hot okay I don't understand stop it makes liquids taste better

everybody's fine with that everybody's fine with that it doesn't also have to cure cancer they also seal wounds actually I'm back in here is another very real customer's testimony quote I went in

to get my hair cut last month and my stylist had just cut her finger while clipping hair on the previous customer she had a lot of skin off rather than the stabbing type cut and it wouldn't quit bleeding she had gone through several bandages without a veil when I realized what had happened

I found the stainless steel plate in my purse and told her to hold it on the bandage for three minutes she did this without question and the bleeding stopped immediately I mean she was quite impressed you know I was already to be like oh this is clearly a fake review

and then after it was like somebody who put a disc on a wound for three minutes and then it stopped bleeding it's like that would have happened with anything you put on that wound I mean it's really just applying pressure you could have put a door stop on that wound

still would have stopped bleeding I think it's a fake review because of the part where he describes that it's not a stabbing type cut that one's definitely a little too specific about the type of cut and a couple of people who emailed me saying that they're worried that it's a stabbing type pain

so I'm just going to put this out there so they also have like a pouch that you wear around your neck that has like herbs in it and then you absorb them through this magical amulet that's how it works and there's jewelry that you can get herbs in

I hate how much people who hate witches sell witch shit yeah that's one of the things that makes me so mad preach I do not get a push burn the witches but let's sell the things we find in their homes

they don't have bad ideas they're just women full stop so unfortunately folks we have only one last clip oh no holy shit how long have we been doing this for about an hour and 10 hour and 10 Jesus

I know you think you want that listen here's what's great about our three hour episodes two commutes not one commutes and you can listen to them at your leisure instead of sitting in a chair listen to half on the way

listen to half on the way to work listen to half on the way back this was a six hour episode don't get me wrong actually I wouldn't that was a good bluff though you shouldn't have given up on it immediately I've got a full house now

I got shit I had a pair of two one time I was playing poker with a buddy and I had a pair of twos and I loved the twos the doofs two twos even if I have one I like it

with twos so he had a pair of kings I go all in he calls and he's like do you have three of a kind and I flip over my twos and I say not yet and then the next card is a two and he threw the table

you're so mad at me you know there's always that so I recently it's one of the only times when my cocky response like that has ever materialized no no no for a short period of time

I got weirdly into close up magic on youtube I spent like three days just being like oh shit how did they do that that's very normal so there's every time on the pen and teller fool me show all the close up magic guys will eventually do this thing where they're like

what's your card and then they'll pull it completely blind like wouldn't it have been cool if I pulled this card like if that happened on tv like if it really happened you'd have to end the show like you'd be like no we can't we'll start over

what do you do everybody just stops and goes 3 people like jump off a roof I can't live in this world it's coming true so we've got one last clip was that the point

what so we get a little bit of closure Ron Paul was meeting with the military the whole military and he does show up for like the last few minutes of the show

and they talk about basically nothing okay we're up to get him up next week we got him for five minutes right now I'm twisting her arm to get him on just the listeners batter me to get him on so I lobby him and he's such a great American we got him five minutes congressman will you join me again next week for the customary 20

we'll do everything possible to do it I will give you almost an absolute that sounds like maybe not that's a big old no maybe Alex in 2006 didn't have as much pull hey are you gonna are you gonna click

yes on this facebook input really because you clicked maybe and I don't think I can handle the maybe buddy I think oftentimes maybe he really means no is that Jack Johnson

it seems to me that no he was asking that guy are you Jack Johnson sir Jack Johnson everyone's staring at me like I made up a musician has no one heard of Jack Johnson did I get the name wrong

what's up what's up oh shit my 23 year old self is gonna get his ass kicked by you later wait until we talk about how he badgered me to play Tim McGraw on the drive over here

listen two people in the car had not heard the song Indian Outlaw which is an incredibly offensive song and then two people heard one minute of the song Indian Outlaw and then refused to hear any more of the

it was a different time when Tim McGraw wrote no it was still offensive then it was about there so Jordan what what do you feel you've learned today I don't know I feel at the end of this here's the weird thing at the end of this

what I really take away is a lot of pathos for that car like as we've gone along like the more I've thought about the car and the way that the car might feel in the context of this episode is that if the car were an anthropomorphic

device and it were forced to participate in an infowars commercial this makes perfect sense and it's like that is a great takeaway it concerns me I'm worried about this car

so Texas Independence Day is not celebrated I do like that there's a narrative arc with Ron Paul will he won't he that was a nice thing that teased throughout took some boring calls we got to hear from Louisiana

Dentures is always great to hear from hey I mean it's a good day at the office Alex a clock out after that pretend that Ron Paul is going to come on next week I think go make some more money making money from people scam cancer patients hey you know awful awful this is

a show people came to see live yeah thank you all so much we've all been wonderful I guess I think we're going to have to do a little bit of an ending what's up we're going to have to do a little bit of the closeout yeah I mean look

we're going to need DJ Danerke up here obviously ladies and gentlemen DJ Danerke so give it up one more time for Marty Narosa please take care of the bar staff tip them well treat them right

and until next time we have a website we do indeed it's knowledgefight.com we're also on Twitter we are it's at knowledge underscore fight yep we'll be back but until then I'm Neo I'm Leo I'm DZX Clark I am the juiciest ice cube
