Knowledge Fight - #307: February 3-5, 2013
Episode Date: June 10, 2019Today, Dan and Jordan take a little look at a very uninspired string of episodes of the Alex Jones Show. In this installment, Alex gets condescending about the Super Bowl, has a caller accuse him of b...eing controlled opposition, and throws an impromptu rally to yell at Piers Morgan, who is in Texas doing some filming.

Andy and Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding.
So Alex, I'm a first-time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work.
I love you.
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan.
I'm Jordan.
We're a couple dudes like sit around to technology beverages and
talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Indeed we are, Dan.
Jordan.
Dan?
Jordan.
Who has won 12 French Open titles?
Okay, I know. I know nothing about the sport.
Today, who has won his 12th French Open title?
I know nothing about anything you're talking about, but I know that it's Rafa.
Since you're talking about it.
Rafa.
Yeah.
Rafa, no, no.
Everyone out there who doesn't know, Jordan is an insane fan of tennis,
and specifically Rafa, and I'm happy for you, man.
I didn't know that. Congratulations.
It was amazing. It was a great morning.
It's a good day for fandom.
Yeah, it was fantastic.
Kicked it. It was a tight matchup, tight, and then Rafa just murdered him
6-1, 6-1 in the final two sets.
Great.
Incredible. He's got a perfect forehand down.
He's getting looped around.
So glad you asked me this question.
Look, you always get your spot.
That's fair enough.
It was a podcast where I don't know anything about tennis,
but I do know a lot about Alex Jones.
And I have the reverse situation.
Indeed. Today, Jordan, we got an interesting episode.
We're going back to the past 2013 to check in about Alex's path
in his coverage of stuff after Sandy Hook.
We are currently today covering February 3rd through 5th.
Very interesting stretch of time where nothing
ground breaking happens, but an interesting, uninteresting stretch of time.
No, I find it very interesting, but just not for any big, big picture reasons.
Maybe outside of this podcast, what happens is not interesting at all.
But for our interests, very interesting.
I like it.
And very excited.
But before we get to it, I'd like to take a little time to say thank you
to the people who have signed up and are supporting the show.
We really appreciate it.
So first of all, John Pantz, thank you so much.
You're now a policy walk.
I'm a policy walk!
Thank you, John Pantz.
Next, Nikolai, thank you so much.
You are now a policy walk.
I'm a policy walk.
Thank you, Nikolai.
Not Chaucixy.
Definitely not Chaucixy.
We wouldn't accept that.
If Nikolai, if it's you.
Next, Skyler, thank you so much.
You are now a policy walk.
I'm a policywank.
Thank you, Skyler.
Next, Jeff, thank you so much.
You're now a policywank.
I'm a policywank.
Thanks, Jeff.
Finally, I'd like to say thank you to somebody who donated on an elevated level.
And we appreciate it very much.
So I regret this, but Penisaurus Dix, you are now a technocrat.
I'm a policywank.
Crikey, mate.
That's fantastic.
Have yourself a brew.
How's your 401k doing, bro?
All right, we got to go full tilt buggy on this Watson.
All right, let's just get down to business.
We ain't making that money off that heroin.
Why are you pimp so good?
My neck is freakishly large.
I declare info war on you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Penisaurus Dix.
I feel like that's extortion.
I feel like that's extortion.
You gave us money in order to elicit some terrible reaction.
Yeah, yeah.
But thank you very much.
Anyways, absolutely.
And if you're out there listening and you're thinking, Hey, I like this show.
I'd like to support what these guys do.
You can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button
that says support the show.
We would appreciate it.
Yes, we would.
So Jordan, I don't know if you know this, but February 3rd, 2013 was a special day.
It was a Sunday.
It was Super Bowl Sunday.
Oh, it was Super Bowl Sunday.
So we've got some bitching to do about stuff that has nothing to do with the
real world, the sublimation of masculinity, primitive, perfect war ritual.
Yes, absolutely.
It's, uh, there's a lot of bullshit on, uh, on that day about how like, I'm not
into football, I'm in the arena of the real world.
Great, Alex.
Thank you very much.
Does he do, does he just do the same episode every Super Bowl Sunday?
I feel like I've heard him say that he's not into football every single time
we've covered one of those as somebody who's heard a number of them.
There are differences, okay, but it's very close.
They're very similar shows.
That's what I thought.
That are just like, he uses the Super Bowl existing as a reason to just punch
football and like, like imply that he's more of a man than sports fans, right?
Right.
Which is cool.
It's a great use of time.
He seems a little bit upset about the commercials and he seems upset about,
uh, Sandy Hook choir performing and the halftime show, but he's not really that
upset about it outside of being like, they just want to turn everyone against guns.
Right.
Right.
Right.
It's not, it's not really that, that offensive.
It's not really that crazy.
That's because they're probably, they were their props to him.
So why would he continue, uh, attacking them from that point of view?
Because he stopped caring about them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, so the show itself is not really all that interesting, uh, but he does take
calls in the second hour and he gets a call that is very important stuff.
This caller is nice to Alex and then flips it on him and drops a reference that
Alex knows what it means and anybody who studies Alex knows what it means.
Uh, but might confuse the uninitiated.
I have a question for you Alex.
Yes.
Who's Mallory Mahoney?
Mallory Mahoney is one of our graphics people that works here at the office.
Wasn't she formerly with Stratford?
Yeah, you guys are mentally ill and I appreciate your call.
You know, we are six graphics people for the magazine and for working in here.
And the university of Texas is here in Austin.
Stratford is like, um, uh, private intelligence gathering firm that in
my opinion puts out propaganda is like a feedback loop to like agree with the
Pentagon's, they can say, look, this private group said somebody worked there
for a month and a half as a unpaid intern and helped write a paper on China.
And, and, and I mean, what am I going to do if somebody was ever in the military
or somebody ever in, you know, how many people, you know, about a third of the
UT journalism people that we bring in here for interviews, because we hired a
couple from UT, actually three of them are from UT, because you know, about
half of them or more now had an internship or there's not many places to
get a media internship.
The Austin American statesman, the Austin Chronicle, this is for print.
The Houston, uh, the Texas Observer or whatever it's called, that's small.
And it's Stratford because it's mainly writing thousands of things a day.
That is mental illness.
So this caller is laying a criticism on Alex that is around and circling the
idea that Alex is controlled opposition.
Right.
This is what this is big about.
So Mallory Mahoney has become a code word in these conspiracy worlds, these
conspiracy circles.
When someone uses her name, what they're trying to signal is they believe that
Alex is controlled opposition, which is proven by the fact that he employed a
woman named, uh, Molly, Molly Moroney, who, uh, whose name this guy is getting
wrong, uh, who had previously worked as an intern at Stratford.
After Alex didn't pay, uh, him enough, uh, to write some of his books or, uh, to
sell some of the books that he was putting on his website, Mark Dice turned
on Alex Jones and started making videos about how Alex was full of shit.
During that period, he would often bring up Molly as evidence that Alex was
controlled opposition.
Those videos mysteriously all disappeared when Mark and Alex made up and, uh,
Mark changed his tune real fast.
Surprise.
Some might say that, uh, that's an example of Alex paying off Mark to shut him
up, but an equally likely possibility is that Mark was mad that Alex stiffed him.
So he started making shit up.
And then once Alex paid him, he, uh, got back to being friends again.
Yeah.
That's an easy way to retain friendship whenever your friendship is based on a
transaction anyways.
Either way, as a non insane human, I definitely respect Alex's response to
that caller.
He's clearly a bit frustrated by these accusations, but he doesn't seem like
he's responding with the kind of blind rage he usually uses to deflect from
valid criticisms.
His explanation for why someone who used to be an intern at Stratford might end
up working at Info Wars makes total sense.
So in order for someone to make this look suspicious, I'm going to need
something a little bit more damning in order for this.
Like, Oh, she was at Stratford.
She now works at Info Wars.
It's a clear, it's proof.
Yeah.
Um, so I need, I need more.
And before I get into any of this, let me be clear, none of this should be
interpreted as me saying that Stratford is not a shady and suspicious entity.
Uh, that's a matter that other outlets will probably cover way more
competently that I can.
I am only concerned with checking in on the arguments that people make that
try and connect Alex to Stratford.
Uh, that is my only interest.
Gotcha.
A lot of the belief that Alex Jones is an agent of Stratford traces back to a
February 12th, 2012 article written by a guy named David Chase Taylor on his
website, truther.org.
Before addressing his specific points, it's worth noting that a
related article link on this article is quote, 10 reasons why Alex Jones is the
biological son or grandson of one Adolf Hitler.
Okay.
So we know we're dealing with some well resourced, calm headed shit.
Yeah.
I was going to say, I don't think there's anything I would believe less than
something that came from truther.org.
Like if you just name your website, yes, you know, that's why I'm, that's why I
don't trust you.
Uh, also before we accidentally take too much of what this guy says seriously,
it's important to know what he's up to in the more recent days in 2017.
He put out a press release saying quote, after months of deliberation and with
great trepidation, I begrudgingly announced that I am the so-called messiah.
You know what?
I appreciate that.
He is willing to admit that it is a big grudging responsibility and so called,
you know what, you don't want to be the messiah.
Dad, I believe that whole hearted.
Yeah.
And the, the, the king should not want to be king.
Yeah.
And it's just so much work.
Yeah.
I do not reveal this for fame or gain, but rather out of self-preservation for
it's far less likely that the Geneva based CIA will assassinate me prior to the
end of the Maya calendar.
That sounds right.
Once I announced that I am the messiah, the last thing the CIA wants to do is
martyr the whistleblower journalist who exposed CIA headquarters beneath Lake
Geneva, right after he declares he is the so-called chosen one.
Right.
Right.
All right.
That's, that's like mailing something to yourself because you can't afford the
copyright is that what we're doing?
So here he goes on to say, quote, although Jesus Christ allegedly existed 2000 plus
years ago, he holds the title of messiah and has been deemed the savior of
mankind.
The reality is that mankind didn't need a savior back then like they do now.
Therefore the story of Jesus depicted in the Holy Bible is the story of the
future messiah, which has now been identified as David Chase Taylor.
Aside from all the physical traits and similarities, the trials and tribulations
suffered by Jesus are reflected in the life of David Chase Taylor.
Hold on.
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,320
He looks like Jesus.
According to him, yeah, I can't vouch for that.
That is to say the persecution allegedly suffered by Jesus has been inflicted upon
Taylor 10 fold who has been subjected to unspeakable tortures and persecution over
the last seven years, his quest to save humanity from extinction.
10 times as many holes in my hands and feet.
How dare you?
Yeah.
That's a, that's a cool dude, a real good source of information, guys, winners.
I'm liking him.
I'm liking him.
So how's he doing?
Like, where is he in 2019?
We still need a messiah, buddy.
From what I can tell from his website, he's mostly posting open letters to
journalists every few days that are basically on his website.
In case I get killed in the next few days, here's who did it.
Just for over and over and over again, and he never gets killed.
So, yeah, there's a, there's a purity of that that I just totally, it's so pure.
It's an insanely high level paranoia, but you're right, pure, pure.
So when we talk about the accusations that Alex works for Stratford, consider
that the source of those conspiracies trace back to an article written by that
dude. I went through the original article and here are the basic claims that he
makes. Alex is in Austin and Stratford is headquartered in Austin.
So there's a geographic connection.
Done.
You've, you've already, so you've already solved that conundrum.
I believe him wholeheartedly.
Well, I mean, Boeing has run out of Chicago.
So I, you know, are we connected to them?
Oh shit, we are.
Oh no.
All state and state farm are both based here, but I don't even, I don't have
private insurance, let alone does our show have any connection to the
insurance industry.
Geography is nothing.
That means zero.
Yeah.
Uh, the second piece of information, uh, that connects to them.
Stratford was founded in 1996 and according to Taylor, Alex's career began
in 1996 while it is true that Alex began his run on KJFK in 1996.
His public access show predates that also in four wars itself wouldn't
actually be founded until 1999.
So I don't really think there's even a, like a chronological connection here.
He's just, just throwing spaghetti.
Yeah.
I like to entertain it, uh, for, for humor, but that's, this is just nothing.
Three, both Stratford and info wars use intelligence employees to create
analysis that they disseminate.
That's barely worthwhile as a connection.
That's not it.
That's, that's a two bit, you know, they both use pizza ovens to make pizza at
Papa John's and Denny's connected, exactly connected.
Uh, the fourth, uh, Alex Jones is supposedly a conspiracy theorist and
outsider yet's friend, he's friends with celebrities like Jesse Ventura and Joe
Rogan is celebrity that's not suspicious.
Uh, then the fifth one, uh, both Alex Jones and Stratford released intelligence
predicting nine 11, but so did a whole lot of people.
So did Bill Cooper.
So like, this doesn't mean anything.
Yeah.
This is just selectively using a couple pieces of information to create a
false connection that you want to appear in the world.
And so David Chase Taylor took all this information, uh, and made his argument
that Alex is working for Stratford and is a, uh, shell.
Yeah.
I think he probably was up until about 2012 and then they, they just let him go.
That's what makes the most sense to me.
You think that, uh, David Chase Taylor was right based on this information.
Man, there's one other piece of his argument though.
Uh, and that is that, uh, David Taylor says that Stratford is a Zionist, a
Mossad front and Alex is married to a Jewish woman.
So you do the math.
That's a big part of the, yeah.
Okay.
I was wondering if the, if the, the, yeah, the, it was, it was going to come in.
That is what's really behind all of these people.
So the people who push the Alex Jones works for Stratford narrative that's
based on the incredibly inconclusive blog post by David Chase Taylor, they
aren't doing so because they're worried about Alex secretly working for the feds.
It's all about the idea of Alex working for Stratford as an explanation
for why he won't come out and admit what they think is an obvious truth.
And that is that the NWO and all the world banking system are a big Jewish conspiracy.
I've reviewed a ton of conspiracies that have spun out of David Chase Taylor's
blog post attempting to, they're just attempting to expand on the theory and
make more connections between Alex and Stratford.
And they're all super weak and they all come back to people who are mad that Alex
won't publicly say that the real enemy is the Jews.
One thing that I've always considered and kept in the back of my mind is how
valuable having enemies like that is.
Yeah.
For someone like Alex who's vulnerable to accusations of anti-semitism based on
his anti-semitic worldview, it's almost a get out of jail free car to have a
loud group of people who are way more anti-semitic than you attacking you for
not being anti-semitic enough.
It's a really valuable thing.
It turns out that semitism and anti-semitism are a spectrum and that's
what makes it so difficult.
Yeah.
Also, if Molly Moroni was some kind of deeply embedded intelligence agent working
for Info Wars under the cover of being a graphic designer and editorial staff
member for Info Wars, it makes no sense that they would credit her under her
real name.
Or why would they credit her at all for being a graphic designer on the Info
Wars magazine?
I mean, look, hey, just because you're a secret operative doesn't mean you don't
want to see your name in the credits.
You do the work.
You get the credit.
No.
Yeah.
Come on.
The government always gives those secret operatives credit.
I think the fact that she's listed in the credits is almost an indication that
this is not suspicious at all.
Something that makes me even less suspicious is that Molly seems to have
gone on to have a career in visual arts as opposed to in propaganda.
In 2013, after she ended her very short time at Info Wars, Molly started an
art collective called Spratix, SPR ATX, Austin, Texas.
Yeah.
And they, uh, they do this really cool thing called Free Art Friday.
I'm not sure if they still do, but they did this thing where artists would hide
pieces of art they'd created around the city for people to find and take home.
They'd post clues on Instagram as to where the pieces were hidden.
So everybody got to play a big city wide game of hide and seek.
That is the most fun.
Yeah.
I probably don't have the energy to partake in something like that, but I am
also not so jaded that I think it's not cool.
Yeah.
No, especially if you, come on.
A former Info Wars employee goes out and goes, fuck that entire world.
We're going to play hide and seek with art.
That's beauty.
Cause she's just an artist.
Yeah.
She's just an artist.
Since then, Spratix has, uh, grown into a full fledged artist oriented agency.
I was waiting for you to say cult.
No, they connect people who need art services with providers and have all sorts
of other art related business wings.
I've never met her, but from everything I can tell, Molly Moroni seems really cool.
In fact, the only negative thing I can really find about her is that she worked
at Info Wars, which totally is understandable, uh, given that like coming
out of college, Alex's, Alex X explanation for why somebody would take
that position at Info Wars makes perfect sense.
No, his, his explanation for why someone would have a internship at Stratford.
Oh yeah.
But it still works as to why she worked at Info Wars.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, and understandably, she leaves Info Wars off her resume nowadays.
Surprise.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I think this is a load of bullshit, but it's a big important piece of like the
anti Alex Jones world, like a lot of the people who were critical of him to
the level that you and I are, a lot of them get really sidetracked into that.
That sort of, uh, Molly Moroni world, he works, he works for Stratford.
Yeah, boo.
Yeah, absolutely.
Lame.
Yeah.
Get a better conspiracy theory.
Um, so in this next clip from the third, Alex says something that seems to imply
that he does believe that they were actors at Sandy Hook, uh, which,
is not good, but it's, it's clear that that's at least in the background and kind
of what he believes.
See, what's happened is the public has lost faith in the mainstream media and the
government, which overall is a healthy thing.
The founding father stated that history shows that, but they had judgment.
It doesn't mean that then everything is fake.
It doesn't mean that I'm, I'm Bill Hicks or that I'm, I'm really an actor and
the professor in Florida who says that Sandy Hook may have been stage with crisis
actors, which they really have that I'm him.
I mean, mental illness, mental illness.
I think that what he's saying is that, uh, crisis actors do exist.
Yeah.
But it's so, uh, muddy, like what he's expressing, that it could easily be
interpreted as him saying that like this, this professor, uh, from Florida, it says
that there were crisis actors at Sandy Hook and there were.
Right.
It's, it's, it's a reasonable mishearing of that, I think.
Yeah, I, I, I think I agree with you.
I, his meaning was, and that has happened.
There have been crisis actors.
He is not necessarily confirming Sandy Hook in specific, but it's close.
It is real close.
Um, so that's about it for the third.
There's really not a whole lot going on.
It's a pretty boring show.
Cause I think Alex wants to go watch the Superbowl.
Yeah.
So, uh, I think he got him at a minus three.
Yeah.
I think he's probably concerned about his, uh, his bets.
And, uh, so he doesn't put in the best show ever.
Um, so we get to the fourth, get to get into Monday and Alex has a big fucking
bone to pick with the president of the United States.
Oh yeah.
Which one?
Uh, Barack Obama.
Oh, okay.
He has put out a picture of himself skeet shooting at Camp David.
Oh, no, how dare, how dare this man pictured with a gun.
What are you talking about?
Well, you got to get them coming.
You got to get them going.
That's a good point.
Both, uh, there's nothing you can do that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know shotguns and I have photographed and video taped even as a novice
before I had a TV show firing shotguns and firing rifles and firing, firing
handguns over and over again.
And I can tell you right now that looks like a fake photo to me.
And I actually noticed that first there's a controversy that, oh, he, he
doesn't really skeet shooter like guns, which they kind of stirred up.
And then the White House over the weekend, and I'm going to cover this.
I have it here in the stack once we get over some of the top news.
The White House comes out and says, don't you claim this isn't real?
And then another little comment, they say, by the way, this is copyright.
No one is allowed to Photoshop this.
This is only for media.
So, um, first things first, there is nothing suspicious about the White
House saying that people can't Photoshop or use the image without permission.
That's a boilerplate disclaimer that's literally applied to every picture on
the White House that they release.
No one ever enforces it, but it's a universal thing that Alex is making a
big deal out of because the daily caller, the conservative trash rag run by
Tucker Carlson, made a big deal out of that.
Yeah, the idea that you can't Photoshop it.
They pretended that it was a suspicious detail only relevant to this image,
which isn't true.
The daily caller article is then boosted by Drudge, which Alex picks up.
And now we've got a conspiracy that Alex says you can't Photoshop a picture
of him with a gun.
Dan, I will tell you this right now.
The Cubs won last night, but I can't tell you anything further without the
express written consent of Major League Baseball.
Right.
And that's only that game.
And it's only that game because something happened in that game.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's, it's just a completely manufactured pile of bullshit.
So, uh, I'll tell you this too.
The fourth, not much going on.
Yeah.
Uh, not, not a very exciting, vibrant show, but one thing important does happen.
And it's not that Lord Monkdon shows up though he does.
Okay.
Of course he does.
That is not what's important.
What's important is that Alex gets a call that tips him off that certain
somebody is coming to Texas and Alex is not happy about this.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no rest for people that want to fight
tyranny.
I can't help it.
Here's Morgan is coming to Texas.
He's going to Katie, Texas.
That's a West of Houston.
It'll take me about two hours to go there.
Red alert.
When this radio show ends.
Red alert.
You know, I've got a chiropractor appointment on my shoulder.
I got to reschedule that.
Anyways, I've never even been to a chiropractor with my shoulders real tight
and I've been trying to lift weights again.
Yeah, I'm going.
That's it.
I'm going to Katie, Texas because he's coming in to our territory.
So Alex has heard that Pierce Morgan is going to a gun shop in Katie, Texas.
And he is going to fucking finish the show and run to Katie.
What is this round?
This is the thriller in Manila.
This is what's going on.
This is the third match up between the two of them.
That's what Alex is the rubber match, man.
It's yeah, it's very exciting.
So Alex kind of as the show is coming to an end as, you know, he's getting
towards the end of the show.
He's struggling with this idea because he's like, it's a long trip to Katie,
Texas, almost by Houston.
Like I got a, I don't know.
Is Pierce Morgan actually even going to come?
Like he's really, he's like, I've got to do this.
He's amping himself up at the same time.
He has doubts and then those doubts go away.
I mean, this is a anti gun gun shop that that is groveling up to Pierce Morgan.
It looks like, and they're located on 1200 S Mason road in Katie, Texas.
Our store and range hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
but they said February 4th, 2013, 6 p.m.
That they're going to be closing early for a special event.
And what, what Cal Calardly, I'll guarantee you when they hear I'm coming,
they're going to have police out there.
They're going to be freaking out in fear.
And all I'm doing, by the way, I've got all his producers, phone numbers.
I need it all.
Okay.
And by the way, I got to get on the horn.
I want to get some of the retired cops.
I know that every once in a while, do bodyguard work.
I got to get one of them to go with me just because no telling what the other
side will try.
Anyways, the whole point is that is just amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, absolutely amazing that all of this is happening.
All of this is unfolding right now.
I mean, this just makes my head spin.
I'm going.
In fact, when this show ends, I'm saddling up.
I'm going to Katie, Texas, and I want to see you there.
So Alex is trying to get his audience to come too.
He's trying to turn this into a big mess.
Yeah.
So this is exciting to me.
My favorite part is anytime he has a surprise, like, Oh, I've got to go here.
He always tells us what he was going to be doing.
It's he had to go, but I got to go to the chiropractor.
I've never been to the chiropractor.
I got a bum shoulder going on.
Anyways, here's where it's great.
Dichress.
So this is like, I was listening to these episodes and I'm like, there is very
little to talk about here.
Very little that interests me.
Like he's spinning this whole bullshit about the Super Bowl because there's
the power outage during the Super Bowl.
Yeah, it was that one.
He's going on about how like it was 33 minutes long because of the
Illuminati signaling that they, the globalists want you to get used to power
going out.
I just said, they're like, Oh my God, this is so bad.
I just listened to like, I don't, I can't, I can't, I cannot interest myself in
researching that.
I just cannot.
You don't want to research why 33 minutes is the exact amount that the
globalists would require to use you to love that number.
Right.
See, there you go.
You already did research it.
I think it's implied, but I did look into the power outage and like what caused
it fucking wasn't the Illuminati, but so I just like, I was so desperate for
something I needed.
I needed a taste and Pierce Morgan coming to fucking Texas is exactly what I
needed.
The idea that Alex is like, he hears that Pierce Morgan's coming and he's
like, Oh my God, the last time I fucked with that dude, I got so many ratings.
I was so popular.
King shit.
Yeah.
I talked about it for weeks ever.
I sold so many pills.
It was great.
I gotta do it again.
I have to.
So here is Alex Jones confronting Pierce Morgan.
He shot video of this.
He shot video of this.
There's a video.
This actually happened.
Yes.
Oh boy.
Now, pay very close attention to how sad Alex sounds in his quote unquote
confrontation.
Nice to see you, man.
Good to see you.
Yeah.
Hope you have it back on.
Well, you're a big customer here.
Oh no, but some of my listeners already said it's the best around here.
Yeah.
You're good at enjoying global fame.
Oh, well, I already had quite a few listeners, but no, it certainly went viral.
Yeah.
That's why we should do another interview.
Yeah, I did.
And my ears haven't recovered yet.
Be what?
My ears haven't recovered.
Well, it was good that I had a fever and was actually sick.
That's why I was sweating.
I mean, I almost didn't come because of that, but I said I'd do it and that's
kind of why God, I didn't blow up on purpose.
But I thought it turned out as, you know, good for people thinking about the bay.
So in 30 seconds, Alex, multiple times asks to be back on this show and not in
a, you're afraid of me kind of way, no, grovely kind of way.
Oh yeah.
And I like, well, I mean, like, okay, when viral, like a lot of people, you know,
like you should have me back on.
Right.
It's, it is not the Alex that he likes to present himself as that is an Alex
that is where he's like, I, if I can pull this off, I will get back on CNN.
My reach will expand even further.
That is, that is literally like a first time screenwriter walking up to
Spielberg and being like, Hey, you know, if you want to take a look at this, you
know, it's no big deal.
I wrote it.
It was, it's, I think it's pretty good.
And I have my friend read it and yeah, you just, you just take a, you know,
send it back to me, whatever you need.
So in this next clip, Alex goes even further and asks again to be back on the show.
Are you going to have me back on?
Well, I don't want to promote you that much, Alex.
I know exactly, but I thought you won the debate though.
You were saying it was the best interview ever.
You said on your Twitter, you wanted to shake my hand and have a civilized
conversation.
There we are.
No, right.
Good to see you again.
You said a civilized conversation.
I've had very civilized conversations in Texas since I've been here.
All right, well, good.
We'll see.
We just had a friendly talk right there.
Good to see you again.
All right.
Good to see you and you.
Good luck with the show.
Good to see you guys.
Then he gets kicked out.
That was lame.
Then Alex gets kicked out by the CNN producers who were like, you can't be
at worst filming.
Yeah.
And Alex is like, I talked to the owner.
Where is he?
You have to go.
And so Alex gets kicked out.
Poor Alex.
There's a clip of him talking to one of the producers and it's like, it's, it's
presented like a sort of stealth footage.
And it's again, it's her being like super polite to him and being like, oh, I
should come back on and they're like, Oh yeah, great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now that was very sycophantic, very weasley, very, very, you, you, you hate to
see a guy brought that low.
It's really not how I wanted to see Alex.
Now, how you would like to see him and how he would like you to see him is how
he sounds once he gets outside and he has his rally in front of him and all of
his fans, he sounds very different.
We're here saying we don't agree with what you're doing.
Come into Texas to quite frankly, piss on us.
All right.
That's what's going on here.
And listen, Pierce Morgan, Obama's out there with a shotgun shooting it right now.
Oh, I don't want your guns and you're here shooting guns.
You know, you've lost this round.
So now you want to play possum and go back to the old thing of Obama saying, I'm
not going to take anybody's guns.
I promise.
And Biden, that's what you're doing.
That's what you're doing.
Okay.
And then implying that, oh, we're not going to have you back on right now because
we don't want to give you too much attention.
That's because I kicked your butt.
Your show got attention from me.
You have a half million viewers.
I have three million a day CNN's crumbling.
It's all over the news.
Yeah.
Mainstream media is a joke.
You're here because you're a red coat in our country saying take our rights
opportunistically that brags you stand on the graves of children.
You're the worst gun control salesman ever.
So we're exploiting your red coat treason to the whole world.
We're showing everybody what a globalist collaborator scum you are.
So that's how he wants to present himself, as opposed to the guy who goes
into the green room is like, Hey, man, coming back on your show.
No, Alex.
If you wanted to make the claim of like in court, if they want to do like, Hey,
this is all an act.
This is all bullshit.
Play those two clips back to back and everybody will be like, Oh, yeah, it is.
It is an act.
It is all bullshit.
Fine.
And you know what's wild to me is that Alex put out the video where he's talking
to Piers Morgan.
He put that out.
Yeah, I didn't have to put that down.
No, I thought that was the CNN.
I thought that was somebody from CNN who's just like, look at how fake and
bullshit this guy is.
Alex put that out.
Yeah, what a fucking moron.
Yeah, it's insane.
I hate it.
I can't imagine what would possess a person to to do that, like just present
themselves as so two faces.
Yeah, but whatever.
Man.
So Alex has his rally.
He's yelling into a bullhorn.
And there's tears and a crusher one through six or something.
And there's tons of video of him getting interviewed by the local news stations.
And it's like, he got exactly what he wanted out of this.
He went down there to cause a scene, get a few of his listeners out in order to
create the appearance that there's something actually going on.
That'll attract the local media.
He gets some sort of footage of him with Piers Morgan, even if it is fucking
embarrassing to him.
And then it doesn't matter because who he really is, is who he is outside with
his fans behind them where he's doing a wrestling promo shooting on Piers as opposed
to like, hey, man, I was just trying to, I was just trying to be nice to him because
I didn't want to offend the gun store owner.
That sort of shit.
Right.
Fuck off.
That's who you are.
You are the guy begging to get on CNN.
Man, see now I feel like that's a good idea.
And when we were in Austin, we should have gotten a few listeners and held a
rally outside of his studio, tried to get the local media on there.
The media would be interested.
I think they would love it.
I think that would be two weirdos screaming about Alex Jones.
I think the local media.
I think that would be a zero for the press.
I don't know.
But it, but the 99 theses on his door and we get shot by the
sniper claims he has on the roof.
So he goes out and he does that.
And he has a good time.
Obviously has a great time.
Uh, then he comes back on the fifth and I have a strong suspicion that he might
have partied the night after, uh, going to yell at Piers more surprise.
All right, folks, get ready.
I'm running on about three hours sleep and selection, uh, provide us with
a interesting show.
I've noticed some of my best broadcasts when I'm exhausted.
This does not, uh, end up, this isn't one of those.
Doesn't, uh, no, that, uh, the prediction does not come true.
Usually they're really great cause I do a lot of crank before the show, but
I forgot this morning.
So, uh, this one's probably not going to, not going to be that great.
Whatever the case, uh, whatever the reason he's, uh, on, on no sleep, he is on
no sleep.
Yes.
And it's not, it just, it, I don't know.
He, I think he made some unforced errors on this show.
And if that's a product of not sleeping, then, then that's good.
But, uh, it's not as crazy as you kind of want it to be.
Yeah.
He just starts off the show, uh, expressing support for violent militias.
Of course.
And vigilante-ism against immigrants.
Yeah, but why wouldn't you?
Uh, America next vigilante militias patrol Mexico.
And in the areas where they're doing, it's the only areas that are safe.
Yeah.
When the government's corrupt, people take the law on their own hands.
You cannot support that, Alex.
Alex, that is not good.
You don't want to be in the business of determining what is and what is not
since you're vigilante is all right.
All right, Alex.
So, uh, so the cops are killing unarmed black people.
Government's corrupt.
I assume that you want them to take justice in their own hands when those cops
are, uh, you know, you present an interesting case study.
Alex, uh, the mom, uh, I don't know.
I just think that's a, like an insanely, uh, dangerous precedent to set.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Because if you're supporting, uh, like vigilante groups, uh, then, uh, you,
you don't have a lot of, you don't have a lot of firm ground to stand on.
So, uh, in this next clip, Alex talks about going to yell at Pierce Morgan and
he has his standard, uh, excuse for why the footage isn't better.
This happens every single time he goes and does anything.
It was just amazing how CNN was behaving behind the scenes.
And then as soon as we turned our cameras off, they ran up and said,
are you ready to come back with Pierce?
You'll be, you know, you'll be nice.
Do it by satellite.
You're, are you ready?
That's just so funny.
So, uh, that almost turned into a cry.
That almost turned into a cry.
That was a laugh cry.
It felt a little sad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's always off camera, man.
It's always just, we didn't get it on camera, but, uh, you know, it's, uh,
it's, it's lame.
And, and, but also that's, that's such a fun feature that dovetails with
everything else because if you're a conspiracy theorist, of course you
couldn't get the good stuff on camera.
They're too smart for that.
Like being lazy plays into the, the good conspiracy theorist as opposed to
actually putting effort into making something work.
Yeah.
Like it's perfect.
It's, it's good.
It's real good stuff.
It's a good hustle.
Yeah.
Um, so in this next clip, Alex, uh, talks about his like, he doesn't really
want to go back on Pierce Morgan's show.
Now, now granted, there's a video of him asking three times in a minute to
come back on his show.
Yes, a lot.
Uh, but Alex is like, nah, he needs me.
Right.
Some people ask me, why are you talking about Pierce Morgan?
If he has a half million viewers on average, when I went on, it was a million
than 800,000 for the next week.
And we have the CNN head producer saying, Oh, we want to get you back on soon.
It's just peers really doesn't yet.
We've never had ratings like this.
Yeah.
Never had ratings in his two years on CNN until I went on there.
And now he doesn't have them anymore.
He's trying to get them back with Ted Nugent and people.
It ain't going to happen.
People are sick of it.
They want folks to get in the face of the gun grabbers.
It's just sad.
I just, I just hear sad.
Like I, I Ted Nugent's crazy.
He's going on.
Why can't I get back on?
I need another hit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do believe him when he says that even Ted Nugent is going back on and people
are sick of it.
Like I, that was a very direct quote.
I enjoyed that.
Yeah.
That, that checks out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So at this point in the show on the fifth, Alex interviews the guy who owns
the gun store where Pierce Morgan went to, how is he still making hay out of this
shit?
I don't know.
This is insane.
This guy has some complaints about Pierce Morgan.
He says that Pierce edited the interview to make him look stupid.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
I don't know how much that is true.
I don't particularly care.
Nope.
But Alex has some slightly pettier complaints about Pierce Morgan.
You know, one reason I blow up at Morgan too is that I'm in there about 10
minutes before we go live sitting there with him.
He's looking at me, looking at me real coldly.
And they're like, yeah, look, he's not wearing a jacket.
Move him out front.
Yeah, look at the belly and I hear him and so they move us out.
Okay.
Alex with his tucked in shirt is a little bit of a pot belly.
You're parents.
And I mean, literally, I hear them whispering how to make me look bad.
And it's just like you're a bunch of cockroaches.
Ridiculous, ridiculous.
I heard these producers want to make me look fat.
It is fun when you can blame any moment of insecurity you have on actually real
things making you feel insecure.
Like he can't just wrestle with the idea that this insecurity is self generated
from him. It has to be some even, even that has to be a cabal of people forcing
him to feel embarrassed.
Yes.
We have sneaky plan of people trying to highlight his belly.
Get the fuck out of here.
Just say like I do a crunch.
I wore the wrong shirt.
It didn't look good on camera.
I just say you didn't wear so ridiculous.
So I, I wouldn't care about Alex interviewing this gun store owner.
It's not particularly interesting to me.
There are too many dead horses about that are getting beaten.
Right.
The only reason that I actually even think that it's very worth our time is
that I think that this next clip is one of the few times I have ever heard Alex
give an actual apology.
I have almost never, even when he's had to give formal apologies to like James
Alphantis and Hamdi Ulekaya, I still think that this is one of the only real
sincere apologies he's ever given.
Oh God.
All right.
Well, listen, I want to get you up for a full hour sometime next week to just
talk about the American success story.
And I'm glad Mike Adams called me up and say, look, that's a baloney media article.
And I'm, I apologize that I bought in to what the media was saying.
I've got to learn just like you said, I can't believe I trusted him.
I called you and said, don't trust him, but I trusted him.
So I apologize for believing them and saying that tactical firearms was a
not pro-second amendment.
I apologize.
That's all right.
Thank you, brother.
He, wow, he is the only people he will apologize to full-throated apology for if
you remember in the first, uh, earlier episode, uh, he said that this was a
anti-gun gunshot.
And so he has to give an apology.
I'm so sorry that I bought to the bullshit that I thought that you were a
gun store that was against the second fucking amendment.
Jesus.
It is, it is almost like that is almost like he's apologizing to a high priest of
guns.
Like that was very much like my only real God is, is represented by you on this
earth.
The trigger.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, I just feel that way.
Uh, it's very, it's very weird.
It's, uh, I mean, it shows that like he is afraid of being out of the good
graces of gun weirdos.
Yeah.
Like it's, it's like, if he will go out of his way to apologize for that, as
opposed to, uh, just like leaving it be, I mean, it means that someone is mad at
him on a gun forum.
Right.
I would assume.
Well, the, the, the worst thing that, uh, you can call somebody in the gun
community is an apostate, which I suppose is what he's describing.
An anti-second amendment gun shop.
Yeah.
So Alex has that guest, uh, which great guns.
Then he has another guest.
And this guy really, really bummed me out.
All right.
For the rest of the hour, we are joined by syndicated radio host, uh, and of
course, uh, doctor, and he is on the broadcast, uh, with us here, joining us
from his office, Dr.
Peter Glendon, and I wanted to get him on to talk about 780,000 people are
killed each year from MD treatments.
That's conservative, uh, at least 31 school shootings have been on the, uh,
psychotropic type stuff.
We're going to get into all that and a bunch of other statistics that are
hard numbers that we need to talk about, uh, here today.
But I wanted to get, uh, Dr.
Glendon on first to talk about, uh, several, several new big announcements
that just show the total twilight zone level that we're in.
We can have a document cam shot here for TV viewers.
Harvard study confirms fluoride reduces children's IQ.
Okay.
Now this came out last year, but now there's another report in the
Huffington Post about this who's called me a conspiracy theorist, uh,
talking about this in the past.
This is interesting.
So here we have a doctor showing up on Alex's show.
We can just assume right off the bat, a couple of things.
Veterinary.
What are they?
What are the things that we can assume?
And not a doctor in the field that we are going to be discussing.
Obviously that's the first thing.
Not a doctor.
Yes.
Peter Glendon has a degree in naturopathy, which is not the same thing
as being a medical doctor, probably some jail time.
Maybe.
So what's the second thing we can assume?
Do you think it's jail time as incorrect?
Okay.
The second thing is that they're probably connected to a product
that Alex makes money off of for sure.
A very quick search of the name Peter Glendon reveals that he's a quote
member of the scientific advisory board at young Jevity, the supplement line
that sponsors Alex's, uh, show at this point in time, much like all the
fucking assholes who come on Alex's show from young Jevity, which I stress
is run by a veterinarian pretending to be a human doctor.
Uh, Peter Glendon is somebody who espouses sincerely dangerous ideas.
One of his big claims to fame is arguing that chemotherapy doesn't work.
And it's just a scam by doctors to keep cancer patients sick and make
more money off them.
Instead of getting that chemo and lining your medical doctor's pockets,
you should use naturopathy and line the pockets of non doctors like him.
Uh, Glendon justifies his claim by citing a 2004 study from the clinical
oncology journal.
He has selected one line that he uses, uh, to make his argument that says,
quote, the overall contribution of curative and adjuvant, uh, cytotoxic
chemotherapy to five year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in
Australia and 2.1% in the USA.
And then he concluded that this means the chemotherapy only works and 2% of
the people they use it on.
Of course, Glendon is intentionally misleading people about this study.
The 2% number is 2% of the total people diagnosed with cancer, not 2% of
the people who get chemo, which is very different statistically.
A large number of the people considered in that statistic didn't get chemo.
So the 2.1% is in no way related to the efficacy of chemo as a cancer treatment.
The mis, uh, misrepresentation of this study is important.
Uh, it's attacking science in the name of young Jeviti.
And the real consequence of someone believing, uh, him is that they might die.
I know that chemo isn't a hundred percent a sure thing, but I would love to see
double blind peer reviewed studies on beyond tangy tangerine, uh, before we
start having any of that fucking conversation.
Alternative medicine is all good and it's all good and well.
And there's nothing wrong with studying natural, curious ailments, even ones
that have mainstream medical treatments already.
Science is a big 10.
Uh, that said, uh, where it all becomes a huge problem is when you use your
unfounded medicine, uh, bullshit, uh, this alternative medicine bullshit,
primarily to attack mainstream medical treatments.
This isn't trying to advance medical treatment.
It's not based on a concern that patients are getting the appropriate care.
It's a transparent attempt to trick vulnerable people into spending their
money on you instead of doctors.
And man, that sucks.
Oh, also Peter Glitton also hosts a show on the Genesis communications
network called fire your doctor now.
Stop it.
Synthesis.
How dare you?
All, all of his doctor guys are all people that are making money.
They're all on the grift.
Yup.
That is awful to have the double whammy of where 100% get as many guns in as
many people's hands as possible and at the same time remove as many doctors as
we can from this world.
We want to get you hurt and we want to make sure you stay hurt.
It's deeply disturbing.
Yeah.
That's fucked up.
So now about this fluoride study that he mentions, Alex has no idea what he's
talking about, but also part of the reason that, uh, the misuse of that study,
uh, the Harvard study became so prevalent is that larger platforms
allowed themselves to be infiltrated by anti science, bullshit artists who
used their platforms against them.
Right.
The Harvard study is an analysis that some researchers did of a bunch of studies
on the effects of fluoride and IQ.
The researchers at Harvard didn't run any new trials.
They merely reviewed 27 already existing studies and discussed what they
purported to have found.
Most of the studies they analyzed were about 10 years old and from China.
The studies were looking at people living in villages in China, Mongolia and
Iran, where the natural fluoride levels, I stress, not added.
God damn.
The natural fucking people, the natural fluoride levels in their drinking
water was approximately 12 times the level it is here in the United States.
Oh, I remember this one now.
Yeah.
Now I remember this one.
I don't think that anyone would dispute that even beneficial chemicals being
taken in at that high of a rate can be dangerous, but that's not how Alex or
his fake doctor friends present that information.
They point to this meta analysis of studies and just flippantly declare
victory and pretend that the Harvard, Harvard came out and admitted that
they were right all along and that, uh, fluorides and attack on the population.
The researchers who did that meta analysis of studies, uh, were also very
clear in their paper that the 27 studies that they reviewed had serious issues
regarding the scientific method.
Some of them would probably not stand up to scrutiny if they were, uh,
submitted to be published on their own, but they exist within the body of this
meta analysis.
Yeah.
Subsequent studies have found no link between fluoride and IQ, but it doesn't
matter.
The misrepresentation of that Harvard study had already taken hold in communities
that wanted to believe the false conclusion.
So no amount of proof that that conclusion is wrong.
It's going to be sufficient.
And one of the biggest reasons that this narrative became so popular was
because exactly what Alex pointed out, there was a Huffington post headline
quote, Harvard study confirms fluoride reduces children's IQ.
No, however, you fucking, it wasn't written by anybody who's written on
the publicly generate God, and then the one that they got rid of because of
stupid shit like this.
God damn it.
It was on the HuffPost contributor platform.
Motherfucker.
Yep.
The HuffPost contributor blog post was written by Joseph Merkola, uh,
who is an anti-vax pseudoscience grifter and has been for a really long time.
Multiple times the government has had to tell him to cease and desist of making
medical claims that he was, uh, uh, putting forth about products he sold.
And in 2016, he had to pay back over $5.3 million to customers.
He defrauded, uh, by selling them tanning beds, which would reduce their risk
of cancer.
He's a real pile of shit and probably worth a whole episode at some point.
Uh, and if you ever shows up on info wars, look forward to that.
Uh, but for now, just know Joseph Merkola sucks.
Uh, Huffington post did a lot of damage by allowing people like him to, uh,
have free reign to attach their misinformation to the presumably
legitimate name of their platform.
Even people like Alex understand that mainstream media outlets have more
rigorous editorial standards than he does.
That's why he constantly backs up his stories by saying it's in the mainstream
news. He knows that makes his bullshit sound more believable because the
mainstream news does fact checking.
Yeah.
The huff post contributor platform does not, but shares a name with an
outlet that you would expect does.
That's so annoying.
And they are so stupid.
It's such misinformation, such a stupid thing that they did.
Wow.
Pretty wild.
So anyway, fluoride doesn't affect your IQ unless you take, uh, tons of it.
And then you're into the, like you're poisoned at that point.
It's not, it's, it's ridiculous.
It is, it is a severe disservice that science journalism has done, uh, not,
not like intentionally, just it's, it's almost like there should be like in
the same way that there are top seed, there are clearance levels for stuff.
Like something like that study should be under a clearance level.
So you can't fucking abuse that kind of bullshit.
Yeah.
But if you do that, then you'll automatically, of course.
No, no, no, no, I know it's an unfeasible thing, but it's just like it
breeds its own problems.
Right.
But that just, it can't be allowed into the wrong hands.
You know, that's that kind of instinctual reaction you have to it.
I, I viscerally agree with you.
And you know, it's that same thing of like the lie travels around the world
before the truth gets out of bed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, it's so much easier for this to, uh, propagate and, uh, people, it's a more
compelling, interesting story that the government is trying to poison the water.
Right.
It's, it, it, it, it triggers your, your brain's desire for stories.
And because of the intersection between capitalism and journalism and science
journalism, especially, nobody wants to read headlines that are like incremental
benefits shown might occur based upon these controlled variables being applied
in this specific fashion.
Let's also not get into, uh, ideas about, uh, how, uh, accusations of well
poisoning are also a deep, uh, rich anti-semitic tradition, uh, from, uh, from
history.
Oh boy.
So it also triggers that a little bit.
It has that same sort of visceral history.
Um, so Dr. Glidden, I'm not, why am I calling him a doctor?
Yeah, they, that should be Mr. Glidden, not a Dr. Glidden Pete.
So Pete, he's just Pete.
Uh, this guy sucks.
He tells people not to get chemo and shit.
God damn it.
But he got in a little bit of trouble because he was calling himself a doctor.
Yes.
And that's not cool.
And I love the way he describes this, like getting in trouble.
This is so awesome.
Yeah.
This is a 30 second little clip.
And what he does is like, you first of all are amazing.
You're delusion.
And then second, you belong on Alex's show.
The only reason we put up with this nonsense is because there is not a free
medical market in the United States.
There isn't.
You want it?
You want a perfect example?
The state of Illinois just find me $5,000 for putting the word doctor on my
website, $5,000.
The only person that can call himself a doctor in the state of Illinois are
people that have MDs after their name.
It's ridiculous.
Ladies and gentlemen, which is why the best thing you can do for your health,
if you're suffering from a chronic disease is fire your MD.
Now get on board with medical nutrition and take your health back.
That's an ad pivot.
He did an ad pivot as a guest.
That was a fucking wow.
Cause fire your doctor today is the name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
I don't know if I've ever heard a guest do an ad pivot and he did it so smooth.
That was I don't know.
I bet Alex was even like, holy shit.
Good work.
It's like he heard the music come in and I must have listened to Alex's show or
maybe he does the same thing on his show right, right.
Fire your doctor now.
He does a lot of ad pivots.
Maybe that's where Alex got him from.
Yeah.
Man, that was smooth as silk.
He's saying the state of Illinois charged me $5,000 to say and I'm a doctor when
I'm not a doctor.
What's the fucking, what kind of oppression they'll relive in it?
I can't call myself a doctor.
There's no free medical market because I can't just go to school.
He was actually calling for free tuition.
Oh, that's what he was doing.
I mean, I think that's right.
I still, he's also still would never have become a doctor.
He's also calling for, you don't have to do homework.
Yeah, exactly.
You don't have to do any of that.
That's true.
It's not free tuition, free degrees, which is a mess.
Yeah, that is unfortunate.
So just the balls.
And you, they won't even let me call me a doctor.
It's me calling me.
You can only call yourself a doctor if you have a doctor.
I don't even actually think that's true.
Like if you're a DO, I think you can call yourself a doctor.
Yeah, like a doctor of osteopathy.
I just think that if you're a natural path, you can't call yourself a doctor
because it's misleading.
Yeah, because you're lying.
Right.
Because you're not.
So I think that this interview is low key, super important.
And it's one of the few times that I think it's totally not interesting
to anybody outside of our world, probably.
But to me, this next clip is one of the biggest case studies for like,
what could have happened if people paid attention to Alex?
Yeah.
How could differently could life have been if they actually paid attention?
I mean, here's an example.
Rob, do the head of the nightly news crew.
He was out tubing, got caught in some rocks, ripped.
I forget the names of it, the ACL, but also the other side of his knee.
They said the two different doctors, 100% you need surgery.
You'll never walk again.
I said, listen, go to a chiropractor.
He said, no, I'm going to go to one.
I said, try to work that out.
Six months later, he hiked four miles up a mountain with me and his knee is
completely better and he went to chiropractors and they worked it out and
realigned it and told him the exercises to do and also to take, you know,
high powered vitamins and minerals.
And guess what?
They didn't get to cut open his knee.
Ted Anderson, they told him, you've got to have surgery on this knee.
Six months on Beyond Tangy Tangerine, the essential fatty acids and other
products from infowarshealth.com.
Gone, gone.
They absolutely do not want you to know this because they want to cut you open.
They want to cut you open.
So first of all, that's fucked up.
That's, that's illegal.
You bet it is.
That's illegal.
You bet it is.
You can't do that.
You can't claim that you did that's illegal.
That's super legal.
This would have gotten Alex, uh, find a very serious amount.
If anybody was paying attention back in 2013, endorsements and testimonials are
really interesting things.
According to the law, when you're advertising a product, one of the more
powerful ways someone might try and discuss the efficacy of said product is
to vouch for it working personally.
I know this works because it worked for me.
A testimony, there are rules about how those are used.
Yeah.
Nancy's, uh, the FTC is pretty clear about how they can and can't be used.
And one of the chief guidelines is that if you're expressing an endorsement
from someone else, you have to accurately express their beliefs.
You have to represent them accurately.
So if Ted Anderson and Rob do don't believe that young Jebedee products were
responsible for their knee recoveries, Alex just committed a crime.
So they would have to under oath, say, yes, absolutely.
I have a reasonable, uh, basis for believing that young Jebedee helped
me get my ACL.
What are those, uh, what are those surgery scars?
Uh, hold on now.
Furthermore, making unsan, uh, substantiated claims, uh, in the context
of a testimonial in no way gets you off the hook for making unsubstantiated claims.
If young Jebedee is marketing by having Alex talk about unsubstantiated
and misleading medical claims, they are still liable for those claims.
It's not like, Hey, Alex said it's fine.
Right.
That's not how it works.
Also by FTC rules, Alex really fucked up because quote, an advertisement
employing endorsements by one or more consumers about the performance of an
advertised product or service will be interpreted as, uh, representing that
product, uh, that the product or service is effective for the purpose
depicted in the advertisement.
Therefore the advertiser must possess and rely upon adequate
substantiation through, uh, including when appropriate, competent and
reliable scientific evidence to support such claims made through endorsements
in the same manner an advertiser would be required to if they had made
the representation, uh, directly because he used two testimonials, uh,
endorsements, the law now interprets this as a medical claim that needs to be
supported by evidence in exactly the same way as if young Jebedee had come
out and said, our product cures ACL tears, right, because Alex used two
examples and at no point did they say something like these results are not
typical or something similar as a disclaimer.
He effectively committed a crime.
Perhaps the most important breach of ethics here, though, is that the two
testimonials are being offered, uh, they're from people with material
connections to the company they're making claims about.
Rob do is the Info Wars nightly news director and young Jebedee is one
of Info Wars main sponsors, uh, that this point Info Wars life and Info Wars
health are basically just resellers of young Jebedee products.
Rob do salary is in part subsidized by young Jebedee.
So his testimonial is tainted.
Now it is completely ethical.
When Trump goes to one of his own golf courses, tweets out a lot of ads
about his own golf courses, pays all of our money to his own golf courses.
This is very ethical behavior.
He has, it's just because they're so great golf courses.
They're great.
Similarly, Ted is not an impartial party.
Uh, he syndicates Alex's show.
So he has a financial interest in promoting their sponsors.
Additionally, Ted syndicates Peter Glidden's show, as well as the shows
of multiple other representatives of young Jebedee.
When Ted lost his license till precious metals, Midas Resources, his company
went back to reselling young Jebedee products.
He is deeply involved with the company.
So his testimony is deeply, deeply tainted.
The FTC is pretty clear, uh, that using these sorts of testimonials are
an example of deceptive marketing, which is a hundred percent what's being done.
Yeah, you're really, I mean, a lot of that legal language is for parsing
very specific, different, little tiny changes here.
This is a great example of the layman being able to understand the law
pretty instinctively.
Just like when you hear that, if you have no idea, you have no familiarity
with the American legal system whatsoever.
You don't know if the FTC is a thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You hear that and you're like, no, no, no, no, that's not, that's not okay.
Okay, that's bullshit.
Yeah, yeah, we can't be doing that.
Come on now.
It's fairly intuitive in terms of what the guidelines are.
Like you can't lie about what people endorse.
You can't, you're fucking around if you have a financial interest in the
backs of your endorsement.
Right.
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.
And I know this is beating a dead horse, but in that very short clip,
Alex Jones manifested multiple instances of behavior that are directly
against the rules of the FTC.
If anyone cared about what he was doing or paying attention in 2013,
he could have been shut down years ago for using this kind of deceptive
and possibly overtly illegal business practice.
If the globalists actually existed and gave a flying fuck about what
Alex was doing, they could have had him anytime.
Which further reinforces my argument that Alex is pretty aware that he's
fighting against an imaginary enemy.
It further reinforces my argument that he is actually
OPPO controlled opposition Dan, they are keeping him in there.
That's the only way.
It couldn't just be that he's at this point in time irrelevant, pointless,
and not worth anybody's time.
Yeah, more, more trouble than it's worth to pay attention to him.
I can vouch for that.
That's my endorsement.
Yeah.
So you've got one more clip here because the rest of the show also isn't that
great. It's a it's a very uninspired stretch of a couple of days because I
think he wants to go to the Super Bowl or wants to watch the Super Bowl.
Yeah, he wants to overcompensate for how much he wants to watch the Super Bowl
and then gets sidetracked by his utter excitement to go see Piers Morgan.
And there's just not a lot of content.
There's not much new stuff other than, like I said, the the power outage
conspiracy. Yeah.
And I just I'm not interested.
This is frivolous.
It's frivolities.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's frustrating.
But I told you, Jordan, that I believe that what Alex is up to vis-a-vis
young Jevity on this episode.
Yes. Yes.
Deeply in ethical. Right.
Now, Peter Glidden would like you to know.
It's super ethical.
He's cool, man.
He's not up to fuck up stuff.
What are you doing?
Don't look over here.
Come on.
Sure. I'm a board member of young Jevity.
Sure. But I'm cool.
It's not fucked up.
Quick disclaimer.
I'm a chill dude, bro.
Yeah, I work for them.
But don't worry about it.
There's nothing messed up about what we're doing.
Don't get chemo.
Let's go surfing.
Come on.
He's really cool.
And if you were cool, you would do the fucking stuff he does.
By the way, Alex, full disclosure, I have extracted myself from the revenue
stream of the vitamin sales in young Jevity.
Dr. Glidden does not make any money from talking up vitamins.
I make zero.
Quite frankly, I got sick of people saying, Oh, Dr. G,
you're just trying to make money selling vitamins.
Well, guess what? I don't make any.
My fiance does.
My son does.
People in my family do.
People in my community do because they're not stupid.
I love that.
I love that.
Yeah, I'm not making money off my bullshit.
But everyone I know is because they're not fucking stupid.
That's so aggressive.
Balls on the they're not fucking stupid part.
That's amazing.
That is amazing.
Yeah, that's next level, like bullying as a as a grip.
I'm sick of people saying I only do this because I profit off of it.
My fiance profits off it.
We have a joint bank account.
I make withdrawals regularly.
Sometimes I'll move some of her money into my only account that I have.
It's I'm cool and you doing it is stupid.
If you don't do it, you're stupid.
It's crazy to me, first of all, him talking about himself in the third
person that makes me very uncomfortable.
But then the second thing, too, and if you really are listening to that,
the I've extracted myself from the revenue stream.
What does that mean?
Legally talks like that.
Yeah, what does that mean?
Legally, I've extracted myself from I don't know.
Well, as we, you know, time is a revenue stream.
So, you know, you get in, you get back in, you know, it's easy.
Also, these people are liars.
Yeah.
Why would I take that as truth?
Why would I?
I don't profit off vitamins.
I don't believe you.
You've lied about everything else.
You tell people not to get that, take chemo because it's a conspiracy.
Yeah, I don't care.
I don't trust you when you say you don't make money off your bullshit.
No, I trust him.
OK, there's a difference between you and me.
But I do like that claim because why the fucking wrong?
I love the claim.
Yeah, no, I mean, why the fuck wouldn't you say that bullshit?
You're already convincing people, look, if you if you're convinced by him
not to get chemo against the wishes of your doctor, of course,
you're going to believe that he's telling the truth on this one.
Yeah, you know, why not?
Definitely.
So I mean, this brings us to the end of the episode.
I know it's a bit shorter than normal, but I just, you know, there isn't
there isn't a lot of, you know, stuff to go over.
It's a no man's land.
It is what it is.
Yeah.
And I wish, you know, I wish I had more.
But, you know, I can only I can only do that, which Alex allows me to do.
Yeah, we can't manufacture the footage that Alex would have had.
He'd been able to videotape on CNN.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think there's nothing funnier than Alex begging to be back on.
So I mean, that was really exciting to me.
I don't think there's anything funnier than my fiance does it.
Members of my family do it.
People in the community do it.
And if you're not, it's because you're fucking stupid.
It's so weird to me that flex because it starts from a place of like, I
don't profit off this and you don't expect him to immediately talk about all
of his family profiting off of his lies, which means that he does indirectly at
best.
Yeah, it's so weird.
That's so stupid.
Yeah.
I love it.
As are you.
If you don't, if I don't do it, well, clearly I haven't been doing it.
Um, so anyway, we'll be back on Wednesday for another episode.
But until then we have a website.
It's knowledgefight.com.
Correct.
It was on Twitter.
At knowledge underscore fight and I'm at go to bed.
Jordan.
Yeah.
We're also on Facebook.
We are.
And we're on the iTunes.
We're on the other podcasts.
Sure.
Go to Libsyn.
You could find a meme somewhere that might link to us.
That might help.
Um, I don't know.
I think Peter Glidden's advice is probably.
Oh, he's totally killed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, no, Peter Glidden.
Necessarily, I mean, I guess second degree manslaughter.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how to ethically put that other than to say bad.
Yeah.
Shake my finger.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think we've used Pierce Morgan before, but it seems like one of the only people
in this, this cavalcade, uh, that is above board.
Yeah.
Cause I'm not going to trust the, I'm not going to trust the first caller who is
all about Molly Moroney herself.
Oh, she's definitely not hurt.
Yeah.
She's not killed anybody, but one guy who technically probably has is Alex Jones.
Andy and Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
Well, Alex, I'm a first time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
I love you.
