Starting point is 00:00:30 Dan and George, Knowledge Fight. We need money. Andy and Kansas. Andy and Kansas. Stop it. Andy and Kansas. Andy and Kansas. Andy and Kansas.
Starting point is 00:00:46 It's time to pray. Andy and Kansas, you're on the earth. Thanks for holding us. Hello, Alex. I'm Mr. Tim Collin. I'm a huge fan. I love your work. Knowledge Fight.
Starting point is 00:00:54 No, no, no, no, no, Knowledge Fight.com. I love you. Hey, everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan. I'm George. We're couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Indeed we are, Dan. Jordan. Dan, what was your first social media page? Were you MySpaceGuy first, or did you do Friendster? Like, where did we go? I didn't go Friendster. You didn't go Friendster. That's a good question, though.
Starting point is 00:01:18 I think probably MySpace. I know that I was on Facebook, like I've mentioned this before, back when it was the Facebook. Yes, yeah. And you had to be... In college, right? Yeah, you had to be in college.
Starting point is 00:01:28 You had to be in college email address in order to get on it. It was wild. I remember the scandal of when they started allowing non-college people on. It was, Everworld was up at ARB. It's comical to think back on that now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:41 With the state of social media. Now that they own the world, yeah. I very strongly resisted getting on it because it seemed like a very much like a frat kind of thing. There seemed to be a Greek world connection to social, like at the old Facebook. No, no, no, that makes sense, yeah. It definitely had that vibe.
Starting point is 00:02:00 But I wrote a column for my campus paper and I got some, I got like hate mail from people, like just people like dumb, dumb, dumb dumps. And one of them, I was like, I wonder what this dude, like he wrote me a really mean piece of hate mail. Like, I'll beat your ass kind of. Oh, of course.
Starting point is 00:02:18 And so like, I was like, I wonder... And this was back when it was still mail. No, no, it was an email. It was an email. But like, I was like, I wonder who this guy is. I remember my brother being like, you could check if he's on the Facebook. See if you can find out some information about him.
Starting point is 00:02:32 That was the beginning of the end for humanity. That was the beginning of the end. Yeah. Right there. That's what motivated me to join the Facebook was to find out like, how can I insult this guy who sent me hate mail? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:02:45 That is so microcosm of the human races and demise. Yeah, unfortunately. That's what suckered me in to Facebook. And I guess, I mean, my personal, I don't use Facebook personally, but I mean, I guess all that information's still there and shit. Yeah, they probably know everything
Starting point is 00:03:03 that we're talking about right now. Yep. It's terrible. Anyway, this is a show where I know a lot about the Facebook and I guess MySpace. I was on there, but... Right. Fair. Nobody remembers MySpace. Terrible functionality.
Starting point is 00:03:14 And it brought us Dane Cook. Yeah, that was MySpace's claim to fame. I know all about that and Alex Jones. And I only know what you tell me about any number of those things. Correct. Jordan, today we got an interesting, we're staying to the present day for today's episode because Alex, I don't know if you know this.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Don't. Earlier in the week, doing Clown World part two. Did not know that. What? Alex named his first debate coverage. The whenever they did the first Democrat debates. I recall. He did the Clown World special,
Starting point is 00:03:47 which he named after a vaguely anti-Semitic and bigoted meme. Yeah, cause of course. And he decided that not only is he gonna call his second debate coverage, Clown World two, he has bought ClownWorld.us. No. Is a URL to host all of it.
Starting point is 00:04:03 No, come on. You go with two Clown, two world. Come on. Perfect. What are we doing? Clowns and Shaw is coming out this weekend. It's perfect timing. Yeah, exactly. Tie it in.
Starting point is 00:04:11 You could probably get some sponsorship money. I don't know about that. But he is trying to get some money because this is a 40 hour live marathon. No. He's doing money bombs all the time now. It's almost like this. The other one was a huge 40 hour specter,
Starting point is 00:04:27 or at least like, I don't remember if he was going the entire time, but it was at least a two night, really long live spectacular. And now this one's like two days straight. Clown Stravaganza, if you will. Yeah, which is a mess. And I've learned my lesson with Alex Jones,
Starting point is 00:04:44 money bomb marathons that is like, don't even bother with the times that Alex is gone. Yeah, you're just, you think it's gonna be, you don't think it's gonna be fun. I think it's gonna be all fun and games. I'm just gonna sit here and listen to 40 hours of this dumb bullshit. And then you're like hours and hours
Starting point is 00:05:02 of Harrison Smith phoning it in at two in the morning, and then them just playing half hour commercials to fill time. It's not worth it. It's stupid. The only value in it is Alex Jones getting drunk in the evenings, which he's on a tight leash now. They don't let him do that.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And then Alex's show, whenever he's doing his normal show, those are the only times that the content during the marathon is in any way digestible. Wait, so in the 40 hour marathon, he still only just does his show for three hours at the times that he normally does it. And then maybe he'll guest on something,
Starting point is 00:05:34 that kind of thing. He'll come and yell during the war room intermittently. And like in the past, he's done his Ask Me Anythings in the evening. He'll do like an hour block to do an AMA. Right, the drunken AM. Yeah, or in this case, he'll show up for part of the debate coverage
Starting point is 00:05:49 that Robert Barnes is basically hosting. Why is Barnes there? Yeah, it is. God damn it, Barnes. Well, cause he, I think he's got blackmail. Barnes has got some shit. He's gotta know something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:00 This is not normal. The way he's taken over this network. Alex, if you are listening, Barnes is not your friend. No, he's trying to kill you. He's doing, he's single white, femaleing you. It's like a less understandable version of what Roger Stone did to Alex. The way that he insinuated himself so deeply.
Starting point is 00:06:16 But that made sense, cause he had presumptive access to Trump. And like that, that's a rat fucker of the highest caliber for 40 years. Right. Of course he should be rat fucking you. All it shows really is how desperate Alex is to glom onto some powerful personality that wants to take him over.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Yeah, he needs a dad. He needs a daddy. That's too busy. The HR department. So anyway, I wanted to look into his debate stuff, but I didn't want to watch the whole thing because I know that he's not gonna be there for the entire time that they're doing
Starting point is 00:06:49 the debate coverage. It suffices just to listen to his show. Now we're gonna be going over July 31st, 2019. That's the day after the first night of the debates. I don't really care about the second night of the debates cause that's not interesting to anyone. I don't care about either night. I'm not over the moon with any of it.
Starting point is 00:07:11 But the larger conversation of anybody who's maybe me or Alex Jones is probably gonna be surrounding the first night because you had Bernie Sanders. You had Elizabeth Warren. You had Mary Ann Williamson. You had everybody who is gonna make things interesting. What do you got? Yang?
Starting point is 00:07:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on. You got Inslee. You got your boy Inslee. Yeah, yeah, my boy Inslee. Well, I mean, anybody who focuses that much on climate change is technically my boy. You're right. Don't, don't.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Look, I'm in the bag for Warren or Sanders and everybody else can fuck off at this point. Right, but don't forsake Inslee three times before the crows. Less climate change never be solved. Come on. I'm mixing metaphors. But I don't really care about what Alex's take
Starting point is 00:07:57 on the night, the second night is, particularly because, I mean, what are you gonna do? Yell about Biden? I'm not gonna give a shit. Yeah, yeah. So I found, I thought it would be much more interesting to look at the first Alex's episode, the day after the first night of the debates,
Starting point is 00:08:11 which is what we'll be going over today. Perfect. But before we get to that, gotta give a shout out to people who've signed up and are supporting the show. Hell yeah. I appreciate it. So do you. First, Brendan, thank you so much.

Starting point is 00:09:24 Have yourself a brew. How's your 401k doing, bro? 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.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Thank you so much, Callie. Thank you so much, Matthew. And thank you so much, Deepak. Thank you so much, Callie, Matthew, and Deepak. We appreciate it very much. If you're listening out there and you're thinking, hey, I like this show, I'd like to support these guys do, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com,
Starting point is 00:09:53 clicking the button that says support the show, we would appreciate it. We'd love it. So now, we're coming off debate night one. Sure. Deepak was there for the live coverage and then left. He was only there for part of it. They did it.
Starting point is 00:10:05 But the reason is because he thought it was a snooze. He thought it was so boring. Fair. Okay. I would like to be able to focus here today on the incredibly boring, but at the same time, horrifying second round of the Democrat debates that kicked off last night.
Starting point is 00:10:28 So I have a bigger theory about this and that is that I think that Alex realizes that the conversations that some of the candidates are bringing forth are things that he can't really argue with. Oh, no, he doesn't want to get anywhere near it. He's not really good at a well articulated argument for Medicare for all. Like he's really good with these distractionary things
Starting point is 00:10:48 like raises taxes. It's not really good with addressing the point of, yes, your taxes will go up, but your premium and your copay will go away. Right, right, right. It's a net. It's a net gain. Yeah, for citizens as opposed to it.
Starting point is 00:11:02 It's already got the taxes. But if you want to frame it as a bullshit. Right, but when people are clearly articulating it and pushing back against the misframing of it, I think that Alex is like, wow, this is boring and horrifying. Because he's not good at that. He's not good in the weeds.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Well, because the ostensible enemies that he's facing were also the ones who are yelling at Sanders about how it's going to raise your taxes or whatever. So he's already got the Republican party fucking avatar there for him in the form of everybody who wasn't Sanders and Warren, all pushing, especially the CNN hosts, all pushing. And that's a complicated position for Alex to be in.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Exactly. I don't think that he has to agree with one of the Democratic candidates. Well, or the quote unquote establishment of CNN to some extent, like it's not really good for him. So I think that is part of the reason why he ended up just like leaving his own show the night before.
Starting point is 00:11:57 I'm not supposed to be here. Yeah. He's like, ah, fuck it. I'm going home. Quite frankly, last night, I was up here for part of the live broadcast, doing it tonight. This one should be even more lively
Starting point is 00:12:10 with Joe Biden being attacked. But it was nauseating to watch. And in fact, at one point, anybody who wanted to tune into another place could, I just cut away for 20 minutes at a time because I just couldn't watch it and couldn't listen to it. I felt my time would be better served by rambling.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah. But I mean, to be fair, like I watched all the 2016 presidential debates on info wars, like I watched their coverage of it. I made a point of doing that for God knows what reason. Yeah. That was an interesting time in our lives. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I thought it was all fun and games to some extent, but I was watching it and he doesn't really cover what's happening in the debate. Even like in the best of times. Right, right, right. He still just yells over stuff and like, you know, so I think that he just didn't have the material he wanted to work with.
Starting point is 00:13:01 And like, fuck it. Barnes, Owen, you got this. Yeah. Enjoy. I'm going home. But he does have a conclusion about, Oh yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Despite not really paying attention to or watching any of this other than maybe some select clips that people have given him. He has a definitive statement to make about all of these candidates. Okay. There is no doubt that these individuals are absolutely financed and paid
Starting point is 00:13:35 and put into their positions of power to sabotage and bring this nation down. That sounds right. I mean, that's what's going on here. Obviously. And I know all of you know that, but when you really need to let that burn in. Feel it.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Let that burn in. I have to. Feel the burn. I have to assume he's using that as sort of subtle coding to Bernie. Yeah. I don't know. I think that you're going to have a tough time
Starting point is 00:14:05 trying to unify all of those candidates. You know, like, oh, all of these people are paid to bring down America. All of these. Really? Yeah. Different philosophies and different backgrounds that are represented on both nights of that stage.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah. Like it's insane. Yeah. Yeah. No, there is a variety of ideology and just maybe even less interesting than the ideology is the practical way that each of the candidates is talking about achieving these goals.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, these detailed plans are interesting not just because they are very, very progressive, but also because they're concrete. They're putting together steps forward. Sanders is, you know, willing to do what Sanders has always been willing to do
Starting point is 00:15:00 for 40 years, which might as well be fucking walk up in front of the White House while he's supposed to live there and protest himself. Like, there's all that. And then you have Pete Buttigieg, who is a small town mayor, who's fucking up his own town. Why are we pretending that he should be there?
Starting point is 00:15:15 And then you got Beto. You got Beto, who doesn't actually know anything. I think he's confused. He's very sad. And then there's a bunch of people who I have no fucking idea who they are. Who are you? That's the time somebody spoke.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I was like, no, you're not even a person. And then, of course, he got the winner of the night. Right. The night is Marianne. Marianne Willis, of course. Which is Alex's angle on it. Of course. And he has an interesting take.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And I think it's really important to trace things like this. Now, let's play a clip first of Marianne Williamson, the newager, who in a drudge poll won, a Google poll won, a bunch of other polls won by a huge margin, even though she was given the least amount of time. And even though they say this is her last debate.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Now, why was it that she was so popular? Because she was the only one that was genuine. Spoiler alert. That's not why. Yeah. She was genuinely wrong. She was genuinely saying a lot of things that weren't true. But she meant well.
Starting point is 00:16:19 It was from a position of a useful idiot. To me, the headline Marianne Williamson won the debate, which is something that I read too many times. Well, it's like wins the internet. Yeah, is the reason that these debates are pointless political ratings grabs. Right. There's nothing real.
Starting point is 00:16:37 If you're a headline, because the narrative that they're building around it invalidates the entire point of the debate. Sort of. But I actually think that there's something else going on here that's worth mentioning. And so what you're talking about is absolutely true. And there were a lot of opinion pieces
Starting point is 00:16:52 that were written about how Marianne Williamson won the first night of the second round of these debates. But a lot of these were the kind of clickbait headlines with articles that discuss how she did have some good answers to tough questions, things surrounding reparations in particular. She makes a lot of sense on it. People have enjoyed that.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Everyone did point that out specifically. Yeah. Also, she used the term dark psychic force, which led to an immediate spike in Google traffic for the term. Fun. The one part of this narrative that's real is that Marianne Williamson was the most googled candidate
Starting point is 00:17:24 name after the debate. But that's not necessarily an indication of support or a belief in these people that she won the debate. That's just proof that people thought that she was interesting and wanted to learn about this here dark psychic force. Yeah. What Alex is talking about is completely
Starting point is 00:17:39 unscientific internet polls on sites like the Drudge Report, where right wing dicks mounted campaigns to drive people to vote for Marianne Williamson to create the appearance that she's a far more popular candidate than she is, with the hopes of muddying the waters. The right sees Marianne Williamson as a joke candidate. So helping her create the air of legitimacy as a real contender is in their best interests.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Coordinated campaigns on 4chan's poll board encouraged followers to spam the Drudge Poll, saying, quote, Marianne Williamson is the craziest person up there right now. She is an unhinged lunatic. Would be perfect candidate to have no chance. People responded with things like, quote, anybody know of any other polls to vote besides Drudge?
Starting point is 00:18:20 Luneanne Williamson needs our support, to which another user posted a list of other polls. Another user put it bluntly, quote, you guys are rigging the Drudge Poll and that's a good thing. From there, right wing sites used that poll as well as other easily riggable polls on sites like the Blaze and Breitbart to create their new talking point
Starting point is 00:18:41 that Marianne Williamson was the winner of the first night of debates. This is a very clearly coordinated plan to spread a talking point with the hopes of boosting a candidate they felt Trump could easily defeat. And Alex has unquestioningly picked up that talking point and is disseminating it. He has literally zero standards for what he's willing
Starting point is 00:18:58 to report as long as it suits his interests because he is a beholden propagandist. Well, now that I know that and it was alive in 2015, it's very obvious Marianne Williamson will be the next fucking president because what else did people say whenever Trump was running in those first fucking debates? I think that's the reason why,
Starting point is 00:19:18 I believe it was on Vox, I read a piece about like, this isn't funny, this is scary, the way people are responding to this candidacy. Like, yes, she does make some good points, which she should have a column or maybe she could be a comment, a talking head on a show or like, you know, put her on MSNBC to comment on some stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Maybe fits in well there. Running for president, we are so far gone that this isn't it. Like- Seriously, how about we have two people who should be on reality TV shows instead of the presidency when the president's- Right, that's a scary proposition. It's an indictment of where we're at right now. Even though, that's not to say like,
Starting point is 00:20:00 everything about her is terrible, even though there are a lot of really messed up things that she's stood for in the past, like anti psych med kind of narratives, anti Vax ideas. Like- Why not? There's plenty of really bad in her past, but you notice that people like Alex won't criticize that. It's surprising.
Starting point is 00:20:19 They don't even bring that stuff up. They want to ignore the bad stuff and then turn the good stuff- Because they agree with the bad stuff. Yeah, exactly. And then turn the good stuff into a negative for her. So that way, from the left, all the bad stuff is viewed as bad. And from the right, all the good stuff is viewed as bad.
Starting point is 00:20:33 And so that means she will be the next president of the United States. Right. They did this like the troll brigades and what have you, did this during the first debate as well, like the first round of debates. They've, like all of these polls that don't have any kind of controls of multiple voting,
Starting point is 00:20:50 these are, they're very easily cheatable. Right. And when you have enough people centralized, that are willing to just keep voting, you're able to rig these things so fucking easily. And that's what they're doing. And a media that is willing to take those bullshit people and signal boost them to an extent
Starting point is 00:21:10 that almost creates the reality that they're trying to create out of fucking nothing. Yep. You have to be very careful with these things. And it's one of the reasons, like I think if, even if you know nothing else about Matt Drudge, the fact that he would run a poll like that on his site that has like this huge credibility on the right wing.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Yeah. Like it, it tells you everything you need to know about how little he cares about influencing narratives. Absolutely. And being able to be a conduit for bullshit. Right. So one of the things that Mary Ann Williamson said during the debate that was, that got raucous applause
Starting point is 00:21:47 was her discussion of the situation in Flint and about how it's not just Flint. There's a lot of under privileged communities that have these same sorts of issues. It wouldn't be happening in a large, well-to-do city. Right. It's bullshit. Gross point isn't gonna get bad water.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yes. Yeah. And so Alex plays her commentary. It's gonna get some John Cusack anyways. Hey, Blank. Hey, there we go. Alex plays those clips and then misrepresents it to pretend that she's saying that Trump is poisoning
Starting point is 00:22:21 Flint's water or something. But you'll see how he uses this. Because keep in mind, this is his show, but it's also part of a 40-hour marathon where he's doing a money bomb. So Donald Trump, he's poisoned in the water. Not the Democrats and the globalists that set all this up. And by the way, remember David Hogg attacked me
Starting point is 00:22:40 for saying you should filter your water and then he goes, and he sells water filters. He's trying to make money absolutely off doing something good. You can't trust the government. You can't trust the globalists. You've got to filter your own water yourself and the water you shower in if you want to live longer. Didn't get caught off guard by that break.
Starting point is 00:23:02 He got his plug in and was like, all right, two seconds left and I'm good. Yeah, it seemed like he was just gonna be quiet until the end of the... He did. All right, all right, good on him. Yeah, I mean, so it's perfect. Marianne Williamson talking about the water in Flint
Starting point is 00:23:15 is a perfect opportunity for him to use as a sales pitch for his water filtration. Unreal. No, but that's what this show fucking is. I know, but that's really, really exploitative. And it's too obvious. It's a bummer how obvious it is. And she never blamed Trump for Flint.
Starting point is 00:23:31 She's talking about how it's a problem that's existed for longer than this, but she brings up that Trump and his administration have crippled the Clean Water Act, which is fair. So yes, if you want to create a straw man out of her argument and say that she's saying that Trump is poisoning the water in Flint, then great, you can respond to that,
Starting point is 00:23:53 but your response doesn't mean anything. Yeah, there aren't... That's the whole game too. There aren't many things where you can say Trump is the direct originator of this awful thing that the government is doing. I bet if I sat down, you could come up with a few. There are, no, there are a few,
Starting point is 00:24:09 but there are so many more where it's like the government has been doing this awful thing and Trump has exacerbated it to a level that might as well be in its own stratosphere. Or he explicitly refuses to help work towards solving it. Everything he does is making something worse, whether or not he was the originator of the bad thing in the first place.
Starting point is 00:24:29 So most of this show has been, up to this point, him using this fake poll about Marion Williamson winning the debate to present her as like the whoever one's into, the left all loves her. Like the left is fucking voting in a drudge poll. Get the fuck out of here. Wait, wait, wait, you weren't on that drudge poll? I was clicking refresh over and over and over again.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Certainly was not. I wanted to make sure Drudge knew that I thought Marion Williams had won the debate. This is very useful for him in many ways because it first of all allows him to paint so much of the people on the left who would vote Democrat as like, oh, they like this orb shit.
Starting point is 00:25:11 They like this crystals and, you know, so you get that benefit. And then when she doesn't get the nomination, he gets to trot out like she won all the polls. The DNC is fucking her over. Right, right, right. He gets to play that narrative over again. I get the feeling.
Starting point is 00:25:25 The DNC is too busy fucking all of us over to worry about her. I get the feeling that she is being set up to fill that sort of a role for Alex in some way. Maybe it won't be her. Maybe it'll be Tulsi. Whatever the case is, he's trying to establish some sort of a someone else should have run,
Starting point is 00:25:41 but the Democrat party is so corrupt. Right, right, right, right. Whatever. Fair enough, fine. I don't give a shit about his version of this. And then the rest of it is just him ranting about his own life and like his own victimhood and stuff. Like there's not real content to it,
Starting point is 00:25:58 which makes this extra funny when he has run out of time to cover the news. You see how it works now, don't you? Because when you don't care about yourself and you're willing to die to defeat the enemy, then you're truly strong and no longer a coward like these men that only seek power over others instead of turning humanity loose.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Oh, they might have physical courage to kill somebody, but they're doing it for their own evil aim. Selfishness. So then is that courage? And their selfishness has blinded them. Oh, I said I'd get into the big top story. I'll do it next segment because there's not time in four and a half minutes.
Starting point is 00:26:43 What the fuck is happening? Like that would be parody if it wasn't his actual show. Like he's just rambling about how he's a big strong boy. And then he's like, fuck, I don't have time to get to the top story because I rambled about being a big strong boy too long. I'm glad you audience, you don't have any standards because if you did boy, I would be not living up to them.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Is there any better proof for why you wanna be your own boss than how bad he is at his own show? I think that it's actually good evidence why you don't wanna be your own boss. Because if no one can stop you, no one can stop you from doing terrible work like this. It's just embarrassing. Oh, God, I love it.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Anyway, the top story is that China's gonna invade Hong Kong. I don't think they should do that. No, no one thinks they should do that. I think that's a bad idea. He's gonna get to that a little bit later. I don't care about his analysis of it, but we'll touch on it a tiny bit. It's a lot of the episode is him talking about
Starting point is 00:27:44 this is gonna be like Tiananmen Square times 100. Sure, sure, sure. But more importantly, I don't know if I mentioned this, this is a money bomb. Yes, I've heard that. This is a money bomb. It seems like even in his lies, he's already set up at least two ad pivots.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Yeah, and he does a lot of ad non-pivots, just straight up sort of messaging for money. And this is one of them where he explains what he needs money for. And I forgot to even add, this is a fundraiser to launch the next phase of the operation, some overt, some covert, 50% off to 60% off, store and free shipping,
Starting point is 00:28:20 double patriot points, haven't had a deal this big since Christmas. You've had this deal going since Christmas, isn't it? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Double patriot points, half off everything is the consistent fucking, that's the fourth of July sale all over again. Give us money so we can run covert info wars operations.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Why, what does that mean? We're sending them overseas to find out what China's up to. It's legal fees. Why isn't Barnes like in the background of the shot over his right shoulder, like fucking Dracula? Because he's too busy laughing in another room, by how much money he's making off this rub.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Cha-ching, cha-ching. He's got that giant accounting calculator that Alex was using to count up Instagram accounts. He's like, oh my God, I can't believe that this is amazing. I don't know, I think the covert stuff he's talking about is probably like paying Caitlin Bennett to go places with a non-info wars microphone.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Or like some sort of a knockoff project, Veritas, type nonsense. Right, that's what I was thinking. That kind of bullshit. I kind of have to assume that's what he means. Or he's just lying. Or he's funding like militias, but I don't think that's the case.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Because that, I mean saying we need money for covert stuff, you look at what Alex stands for, what his world is. Right, right, right. Like he might be paying Matt Bracken to get a troop together. Yeah, no, no, no, that's possible. I don't think that's likely, but. Like when Ross Perot hired people
Starting point is 00:29:44 to fucking storm veterans. I don't remember that. You don't remember that? No. Ross Perot set up a, I'm pretty sure it was Ross Perot. He was super into veterans. And he paid a lot of money and set up a covert operation to rescue prisoners of war.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Good on him. And he built a fake version of a prison and then they tried to go and the prison, they moved the, it was a whole thing. Good on Ross. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure that was him. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Well, good for him. I don't think Alex is doing that. I think he's probably just paying his lawyers. But in this next clip, we get to that story, a little bit of the story of China and Hong Kong. If you want to know what the real story is, I recommend you read something. Don't listen to Alex.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I'm only going to play this clip because I think it demonstrates even in Alex trying to cover like just a normal news story, which is China is making overtures that it might come into stamp down protests in Hong Kong, right? Just that story. Yeah. He still has to get fucking racist.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I'm not going to even hedge bets. I think within the next week, you're going to see a Tiananmen Square level event. Only if the Chinese government backs down and their dictator, given more power than Mao Zedong, has not been showing any signs of that. So this is going to get extremely violent, extremely quickly because I'm telling you folks,
Starting point is 00:31:18 studying warfare and the Asian brain and everybody can turn it loose and kill people. What? But once the Asians start getting into a fight, it gets real bloody real quick and both sides don't give up. So this is going to get really, really, really nasty fast. The Asian is a ferocious people. What?
Starting point is 00:31:37 That's... Can you do that? Yeah, I guess you can. I apparently you can. When you don't have a boss. Yeah, well, and I guess nobody is really paying attention to him anymore. Otherwise, usually you would at least see a headline
Starting point is 00:31:49 that's like, Alex says the Asian brain murders people. What? When it gets going, it keeps going. Yeah, I mean, like that's crazy. Oh, when the going gets Asians, the Asians get going. Yeah, I mean, between him thinking that South Koreans are Chinese and this, I mean, you got... What is this?
Starting point is 00:32:11 To be fair, I think I have heard him express this exact sentiment in the past. This idea of like Asians being somehow... I think so, but I thought he was talking about it. More genetically violent once they get violent. Yeah, I thought he was talking about the Japanese, but in like the context of World War II. Like kamikaze pilots or something.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah, so it was racist. Like we all knew it was racist, but it wasn't as just blanket like, Hey, anybody from Asia, if they start to get that bloodlust going, it's never going to end. Look out. Yeah, watch out for Asian bloodlust. I know, because my daughter's wife is South Korean
Starting point is 00:32:43 or whatever. This is, I mean, it's not good. I don't like it. No. You know, especially when you're saying that like this group of people by their like genetic predisposition is violent when they get going or whatever. So then immediately, just after that,
Starting point is 00:33:04 just a little bit after that, have him say this is like, what about you, Alex? You know, if you're not Antifa swinging the hammer, you can actually get something done. I could kill 10 people in about two minutes with a hammer and a fight. Thank God I didn't even know how to use one. He's usually hitting people with those hammers.
Starting point is 00:33:20 It's almost as if when you see those videos of Antifa hitting people with stuff, or maybe they're not trying to kill anybody. Maybe, oh. They're just bad at killing people, Dan. Yeah. Look, if you, man, he's a bad human being. Yeah, he's really, he's a real bad human being.
Starting point is 00:33:39 He's a real bad dude. Real bad dude. Almost like he's proud of himself for his hammer killing abilities. Yeah. It's almost like he's about to say, I could kill more people than an Asian who's gotten going. Now, now my, my best, my career best is six.
Starting point is 00:33:55 But I could get 10 in two minutes. Jesus fucking Christ. If I had gotten to my prime, I took my knee went out in double A ball. If I had gotten to my prime, if I'd made it to the show, I'd be knocking 20, 30 home runs out of the park. With a hammer.
Starting point is 00:34:10 With a hammer. I just think like, I hear these things and just, you know, his version of what he likes to brag about and how he likes to like amp himself up. The particular ways he does, just so gross and childish. Yeah. So stupid.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Anyway, that's not a surprise. He is all of those things. Absolutely. But he does, you know, I mean, I don't know exactly what the actual geopolitical ramifications would be if China were to, you know, encroach on Hong Kong. I don't know what the exact consequences of it would be.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I hope we don't find out. Yeah. Alex believes it will be a giant war. And he also thinks that there's other ways that a giant war could start. Sure. Particularly the Middle East. Bunch.
Starting point is 00:35:02 And Africa. Them. Well, I mean, it's like, okay. You're saying, okay, well, there could be a giant war and it might start in one half of the war. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Or the other half. And when we come back, I'll get into the other two areas that could start giant wars in the Middle East and in Africa and another area that's happening there in Asia as well. But this is a big, big deal. Separately, let me do a proper plug. We're in the middle of a fundraiser.
Starting point is 00:35:30 If we sell a million dollars a product. Nice. Then we'll only make like $150,000. We sell a million. We'll probably make about 300,000. I got up at 5.30 this morning. And I went and looked at infowars.com. Ford's last show where you can make donations
Starting point is 00:35:43 and where you can also purchase products at huge discounts. And then all those numbers are added together by some computer program they put together every 30 minutes. Not your fucking calculator, that's for sure. And like at 6 a.m., I'm text messaging Michael Zimmerman and I'm saying $700,000? I said, when I went to bed, it was at like 300,000.
Starting point is 00:36:03 And he said, let me check. Well, an hour later they go, oh, when they batched the orders that came in on the shopping cart, it triple batched that batch. So yeah, that removed $200,000 from it. So it's at $389,000. And again, it's just a system that adds the donations that get entered in and the shopping cart stuff
Starting point is 00:36:21 and updates every 30 minutes, I'm told. So it's not exact, but it's around $389,000. And that's triple what we normally bring in in the last few days. And so that's good. But when we're selling this stuff, some of it is very close to no profit. The supplements, all of it.
Starting point is 00:36:38 So it takes a lot of sales to do it. And I'm just gonna keep pushing. And I hope by tomorrow we bring a million dollars of gross sales added donations. And we're getting a lot of gross sales, not a lot of donations, but it's easy to do that as well. And donations are better as we get 95% of the money. And that's really needed for the next project.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So check it out, infoworksstore.com, thank you. This is a bummer. This is not a jubilant Alex during his money bomb. This is a like, had that number been real in the morning, I think he would be pretty excited. But as it is now, that is not where he wants to be in terms of this money bomb. He's, because he also knows that there's so much dead space
Starting point is 00:37:18 during that 40 hours that no money's coming in. No money's coming in when Harrison Smith is hosting. Almost nothing is probably coming in with David Knight with all his people who are on, you know, they're on set amounts to live. They're all retirees listening to David Knight. No one's paying any money for Owen Schreuer stuff because no one's watching him.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Right, because he sucks. Yeah, he has very little opportunity to actually hit his goal probably. Man, it feels like if you're bragging on air, I don't know if it's, I mean, if you're lamenting on air about how you need as much revenue as possible and you don't particularly care about the profit.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I think he's embezzling money from his own company. I don't know what, I don't, I think that's how he's paying. I know how Barnes is going down on this. Yeah, could be. I don't know, I don't know enough about finances to know anything, but I can tell just on a human level, I don't feel like what he's manifesting
Starting point is 00:38:17 is someone who's doing good. No, he's not doing well. I don't think the money bomb's going great. I don't think anything is going great, which makes me, I mean, it's close to Schadenfreude, but it's not quite, because I still don't rejoice in his downfall or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I am mildly amused by it, but I'm more interested in like his actual substantive, yeah, arguments and worldviews. Like I'm more excited when I find a lie than I am in him going out of business. Yeah, cause I still don't, like him going out of business, I still affects a lot of people who are maybe not,
Starting point is 00:38:55 who aren't Alex Jones, who I will have far more sympathy for. If Alex goes down and it was in a vacuum and everyone in his orbit remained at their status quo, I'd be like, that's pretty funny. I feel a little sympathy for his employees who would be out of job. They, you know, presumably if they have skills,
Starting point is 00:39:13 they could find another job and. Just a race info wars. I think everybody, everybody's better off not working at info wars, I would assume. So as family, I feel bad for them, but he also has millions of dollars. So even if they go out of business, they'll be fine. That's true.
Starting point is 00:39:29 What I would really worry about is, I think that there might be something to this. Alex Jones might be one of the few things that's holding a lot of people back from being involved in QAnon. So we're here to go out of business. Those people, they got to go somewhere. Nature abhors a vacuum.
Starting point is 00:39:45 They've got to fill that like paranoia space somehow. Right, and Ben Shapiro is not going to do it. The best, next best game in town is kind of, you know, jumping over to Q stuff. And that might be more dangerous. I'm not entirely sure. So people actually believe in the Q stuff, huh? It appears so.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Like for real though? It appears, I don't know. You know, from where we're sitting, it's very easy to believe that it's all just bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just people pretending to believe. It kind of feels like that. I feel like there's a couple of dead bodies
Starting point is 00:40:15 that would beg to differ. Yeah, that's actually very true. Yeah. So this money bomb is not going great. So Alex knows that he needs to do the one thing that is going to get the donations coming in. Eat a horse's heart on air. That would be awesome.
Starting point is 00:40:30 He chose something else. Okay. All right, guys, this has become a good friend of mine, a really smart, funny fella, and one of our top hosts here now, a host of this and our chief legal strategist, Robert Barnes, joins us. By the way, he didn't get his Covington Kid lawsuit thrown
Starting point is 00:40:47 out this week. That was the other fellow that filed lawsuits. I've got a bunch of calls about that. You haven't filed your suits yet because you've been strategically planning them. We're both a couple months behind right now, but those suits are very, very close. Our suits are very, very close.
Starting point is 00:41:00 So, I love this. First of all, Robert Barnes is on again. He's on all the fucking time, but it's so fucking hilarious. So, the Covington Kids, they had filed a lawsuit against... Washington Post. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And that case got thrown out. Because, yeah. And everybody was clowning on Robert Barnes because he presents himself, I'm representing the Covington Kids, and everyone is like, ah, you got your case thrown out. And I love that Alex's defense is like,
Starting point is 00:41:26 that wasn't his case, because his case doesn't exist. Wait, so he was saying that he was representing the Covington Kids? I think he is on some level. I don't fucking know. I don't care about the, like, particulars of Robert Barnes' scam lawsuits.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Right, right, right. He's doing, I just don't have the mental space for all of that. I just think it's funny that Alex's defense is, he couldn't have his case thrown out because there isn't one. He didn't even have it ready yet. I told him, he doesn't even realize
Starting point is 00:41:55 how stupid he sounds there, because he's saying like, I told him to put together these lawsuits a while back and they're still not ready. Anyways, here's the guy who's supposed to be getting those lawsuits ready on my fucking show. He's too busy being on my show all the fucking time. He's too busy trying to pivot careers
Starting point is 00:42:13 and to take it over for me. Writing lawsuits is hard. Yeah, I just, I can't say enough how much that is like my kind of comedy, is like, you guys think you're insulting him because his case got thrown out? Little do you know, his case is imaginary. It's like, it could not be a worse rubble.
Starting point is 00:42:39 We've just been bluffing. I like it. It's a refreshing bit of honesty. Yeah, I suppose so. So Alex, I believe my firm conviction is that he left the coverage of the Democrat debate because he realized like his skill set doesn't work well in the setting of the Democrat primary season this year.
Starting point is 00:42:59 He can't yell over them and they'd be allowed to talk. Well, it just, it doesn't, it's not, it's not the same thing. He doesn't have a lot of his built up characters in there. You know, he doesn't have a Hillary Clinton to yell at. He doesn't have, like he could just do a Bernie voice for 45 minutes, but that's exhausting on his throat. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And people would rightfully be like, hey, that's, that's fucked up. Click. Moving on. I mean, the impression's good, but it's not 45 minutes good. Is it good? He doesn't have like anything really on
Starting point is 00:43:31 a lot of these people other than superficial complaints. Like he can do the same thing that Trump does and talk about Native American with Elizabeth Warren. He can call them all demons. He can say that Pete's gay, but like, Yeah, no, they, I was, I was just thinking that's the only one where everybody on his staff is like, Don't talk about Pete.
Starting point is 00:43:52 You're going to use a homophobic slur. It's going to come out of your mouth. Just don't talk about it. I think that, I think that that really limits his abilities. I think his, his skill set has diminished considerably, especially during the Trump years. And I don't think that he has what it takes to take in information about these new people
Starting point is 00:44:11 and insult them correctly or dismiss them correctly. And I think that, I think that that's what happened, but it turns out that that's not what happened. I was wrong. It turns out that Alex just can't handle looking at Democrats anymore. Oh, that's interesting. And then next few seconds we'll play some of the highlights
Starting point is 00:44:29 of the insane debate last night and the ratings crashing. I mean, I'll be honest. I went home and watched the show. I was just sitting here all night. I couldn't look at them and watch them. I can listen, but I can't look at Democrats. So I went home and got on the computer and listened
Starting point is 00:44:45 to our covers. It was great. I literally couldn't sit here looking at them and calling the shots and go to this, go to that. I had to get out of here. I mean, I literally got depressed watching it. And I'll be honest, I feel good watching Trump. I feel good watching, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:58 the other shows we do. I feel good watching Tucker Carlson. I feel good looking at DrudgeReport.com. Cause you know, these are good people. I cannot stand watching or listening to people, but Pete. I can only take in information through white nationalist leaning channels. I can only handle my own coverage, Trump, Tucker and Drudge.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I have become so insulated that I need a safe space to take in information. I can't handle the wild west of a CNN fucking debate. How sad is this? Yeah, that's a hiding behind like somehow it's visually the Democrats look a certain way that makes me sick. Yeah. How pathetic is this?
Starting point is 00:45:37 Look, he doesn't like the idea of looking at other human beings who disagree with him. That is the, that is the fundamental underpinnings of a healthy democracy, dad. I do believe that that's in the anti-Federalist papers. Oh, okay. There we go. So Barnes is a full of shit.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Although he does agree with everything Alex says. Absolutely. And in this next clip, we hear him expressing what is legitimately, you know, it's at least white nationalist adjacent, the ideas of demographic anxiety. Sure, sure, sure. And we get the treat of seeing how Alex responds.
Starting point is 00:46:17 As we have fewer children, as abortion is increasingly incentivized, as we basically have American populations in the west, not reproducing at a rate that can replace our own population, that we become more and more dependent on foreign populations that they believe are more malleable. Which is in the 1960s Ford Foundation documents.
Starting point is 00:46:35 They said, we will promote transhumanism, sexless society. That's a brave new world. 1932 has written about, this has been a long-term plan. Barnes, I love it when you get on every subject. You always cover the law or this or that. I don't care, you're a smart guy. We need to get to your show.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Oh, sure. That'd be fun. That'd be fun. I mean, Alex has already said he wants to give Barnes a show. Yeah. He's already said he's giving Barnes a show, but like,
Starting point is 00:46:59 I think Barnes goes home and sounds like fucking, Mr. Burns is like, yes. Everything is going according to plan. Yeah, it's just his, he has like a war room with like a map of Alex's studio that he's pushing pieces around. Yeah. Oh, first I'll get in with Owen Troyer and I'll impress him.
Starting point is 00:47:20 And then Alex will give me a show. He's got to have a bunch of fucking voodoo dolls of some sort. It's pretty wild. So Barnes' ideas that he's expressing are terrible. It's a simulacrum, that's what I was thinking about. I don't believe that these things that Alex is talking about are from the Ford Foundation. And I'm not entirely sure that transhumanism.
Starting point is 00:47:44 I think he's just referencing the idea that the Ford Foundation did give some grants to work that like Julian Huxley was doing, who was into transhumanism early on. I think that's all Alex is going on. I don't, I don't, I looked around. I can't find what he's talking about. And Orwell's Famous Book, 1932.
Starting point is 00:48:01 1975. So in this next clip, we get exactly what you were afraid of. And that is that Alex tries to comment on Mayor Pete. Oh no, no, no. He plays a little clip of Pete having some commentary and here's what Alex says. We're not going to be able to meet this moment
Starting point is 00:48:26 by recycling the same arguments, policies, and politicians that have dominated Washington for as long as I had been alive. We've got to summon the courage to walk away from the past. I'm gonna do what he says because he's gay. Out to commercial. Whoa, boy. That's, oh boy.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I don't know if I heard any other substantial commentary on Pete Buttigieg in this episode. Other than, I've got to do what he says because he's gay. Yeah. Fuck this, man. There had to be somebody with some fucking throwing knives or darts just throwing them right into his leg every time. Now Pete, oh, oh shit, my leg.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Anyways, we're gonna get back onto Biden. Now that Pete, he's got to, oh god. So in this next clip, Alex, he's still a little bent out of shape about Mary Ann Williamson's comments about Trump poisoning the water that he believes she made but she didn't. Sure, right.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Easy to hate somebody for something that you think they said even if they didn't. It is easy and he does it. So he plays her clip again and then at the tail end of it, he starts spiraling out about how bad the water is in LA and he tells, he lets us in on some of his hygiene routines. Oh god, no.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Why would anybody want to be this victim and say, I live in LA where it's toilet to tap, where they take the sewage, put it through all these expensive systems that the city bought billions of year folks who spent on this in LA, billions on the sewage. And then you drink toilet water filtered by the city and then you wonder, everybody's got cancer.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I mean, I've tasted LA water and it literally makes me sick. When I go to LA, I'm a neat freak. I take three showers a day at least. Okay, I do not shower when I am in Los Angeles. I take bottles of filtered water and I take whore baths as they're called, okay? I take a whore bath with washcloths and that
Starting point is 00:50:24 because I get sick and I'm tough. So I guess I'm going to donate to your children? I get sick when I take a shower in LA. All right, I mean, the place is a joke. First of all, good thing you're not, almost never in LA though. Yeah. Because I think, well, you've gone once maybe
Starting point is 00:50:40 by his telling of it. I think he's been to LA once. Yeah. I don't know if he's been other times on clandestine covert missions. I don't know. But I don't know if there's a larger definition of a whore's bath, but from where I come from,
Starting point is 00:50:54 that means just washing your dick. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I thought you added your armpits in there too. Oh, maybe, maybe. Also, it's a sex worker's bath. Thank you very much. Yes, yes, I apologize.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Yeah, that term to me is about your dick or I guess your genitals. I'm uncomfortable with whatever his definition of it is. Can you imagine another show that takes itself seriously, being like in the middle of some sort of like the primary analysis being like, water in LA is so bad, I take whores baths when I'm there?
Starting point is 00:51:30 I was just like, wait, we're still in the show, right? This has just become one giant inner monologue that's uninterrupted out loud. It's remarkable that he thinks anybody should take this seriously. Like it's really crazy. I think the only thing that's worth taking seriously is like his overt hatred of people unlike himself
Starting point is 00:51:50 and his incitement towards violence. The rest of this, like his analysis of stuff, his historical understanding of things, it should like, it really just deserves to be written off. Yeah. It's insane. So in this next clip, Alex talks about how the Dems are criminal election fraud people.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Mm, that doesn't sound right. All of them don't like the Democrats. What they do is the Democrats are so corrupt, there's massive election fraud proven in inner city areas, whether it's poor white, black, we know this. These are institutionalized criminal groups that are in control that people aren't actually supporting it. The polls are all fake.
Starting point is 00:52:22 The polls are all fake. Says the guy who cited fake polls that were completely rigged by trolls online earlier in this episode. Yeah. I do not trust his assessment of what isn't, it's not a real poll. I'm amazed at the power the conservative right wields
Starting point is 00:52:43 just by getting to lying about voter fraud first. Do you know what I'm saying? Before the Democrats pointed out like, oh, you guys have been doing all of this voter suppression shit for forever. The reason that you won these elections is because you cheated. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:03 You stole elections in Michigan. The Electoral College should not have gone that way. All of this is bullshit, but the Republicans got there first by being like, three million illegal immigrants voted. Boom, we win. Call it, we own this space now. Yeah, it is nuts how easily they own spaces. It is.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Well, I think it's because they're- It's targeted. It's focused messaging. Yeah, and they're always going to be unified on it. Like if a Republican- And they got people like Count Dankle out there making those hot beans. Making those Dank beans, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:33 But I mean, you're not gonna see a fucking critic of Mitch McConnell's voter suppression policy by ignoring the election security bills coming from the right and everybody taking it seriously. It's true. But on the left, you can look at voter gerrymandering in whatever state and you'll have the fucking intercept going hog wild on whatever Democrat is around, you know?
Starting point is 00:54:00 And it's good on them for it, but that's why the Republicans, you know- Yeah, there is more of a unity behind whatever is expedient. Yeah. So this next clip gets us to something that I love, although this is confusing. I love- Love is confusing.
Starting point is 00:54:17 We know that I love an Alex Jones story. Right. I love it anytime he takes a vacation and comes back with a completely not true story. Especially as it mutates. Yes, yes. This is the first time I've heard this particular story. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:32 And this has to do with ostensibly a conversation about white people virtue signaling that they care about black people and other minorities. All right, I already don't believe it. You shouldn't. Yeah. But I also don't know what not to believe. Okay, now I'm interested.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Because this story in a word is confusing. Okay. It's convoluted. All right. And probably offensive. I had a lake house just like eight, nine years ago and the neighbors were UT professors and they brought the gypsy king of the Roman people
Starting point is 00:55:10 or whatever to the lake. And they were so uncomfortable to be shared a dock. They were like, we don't dislike gypsies. You know, like I didn't know those people were gypsies. They had brown skin, whatever. I'm over here fishing with my son. So she walks over to like my five-year-old son who has a birthmark, Rex is like 16 now.
Starting point is 00:55:24 And she goes, she goes, what happened? Who hit you? Did he? She says, liberal white woman. And he goes, I've got a birthmark. She goes, oh, sorry. They all knew I was Alex Jones. They were just flipping out.
Starting point is 00:55:37 And then soon the gypsies are over at my house asking for something. And then they're digging in my yard for arrowheads. And it's like, they are the royal people. You must let them. And I said, well, I've seen them. I just told you, it's kind of rude to say to F off. They left me alone.
Starting point is 00:55:49 But it was literally this lepid thing like, here are the gypsies, you're racist, you beat your son. And it's just that she took mind control. These people are nuts. What they want is they want people in their local community. Well, these were professors all the time got ripped off by the gypsies.
Starting point is 00:56:01 But they're in this cult like, I'm with the gypsies. Oh God, they're so cool. Gypsies are so wonderful. Well, these are the people that, when they drive through an inner city, lock their doors or don't drive through the inner city at all. I love that.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Barnes is fucking killing it. Well, in terms of like molding with Alex. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, because after that story, here's what a human being would go. What the fuck are you talking about? What is the point of that story? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:56:26 That story makes no sense. None. Who is the... Who are they? Are you trying to talk about the Romani because we don't see any more. Because also it doesn't mean anything. Who is the Gypsy King?
Starting point is 00:56:36 Who is the Gypsy King? Are you talking about the Hobo King? Cause that's a real person. Digging in your yard, looking for arrowheads? What? What are you talking about? Wait, you let them dig in your yard? Why did this, who is that?
Starting point is 00:56:52 What's the connection with this woman who accused you of hitting your son? Why are you still living at this lake house? Why are you sure that they know who you are and are just accusing you of beating your kid? What is happening? What is going on? And instead Barnes is like,
Starting point is 00:57:05 yeah, these are the type of people that lock their windows. Moving on, give me one million points. I would love to refer Robert Barnes to some clips where Alex talks about Pam Handlers as if they are trying to murder him when he goes to East Austin. So Alex is exactly the sort of person who rolls up his window and he goes to the fucking inner city.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Stop trying to pretend you don't know who you're sitting next to Barnes. Alex's fucking story makes no sense. Barnes is killing it, but what he says also makes no sense. No, none. The two of them are doing nothing, but it's electric. It's the same sort of vibe that we got
Starting point is 00:57:39 on that old episode where Alex and Jerome Corsi were finishing each other's sentences. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was very exciting. Because Barnes is bringing that like, absolutely. Alex, yeah, not only that, but he's doing improv work with Alex. Barnes is Andy Daly level right now.
Starting point is 00:57:53 He's fucking killing it. He's crushing it and it leads them to just like, they go down like rabbit holes with each other. It's very annoying, but it means that Alex also doesn't like get to any real substance of any of the topics he wants to cover. And it leads him to be very frustrated.
Starting point is 00:58:14 They do not care about African-Americans. They do not care about improving the ordinary everyday lives of African-Americans. I agree, stay there. I'm gonna play this Logic Cummings clip coming up. Then hit a few other things. We have another guest coming up, but I've got so much to get to.
Starting point is 00:58:26 I'm gonna play my 26 month old daughter singing twinkle, twinkle little star. She was singing it this morning. I got her to do it again. I'm gonna play that too. Third hour coming up. That also sounds like parody. Like that is the craziest fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:58:39 That can't be real. Robert Barnes starts the clip talking about how white people don't really care about black people and there's virtue signaling. Alex's like, yeah, absolutely. I agree with that. I got a lot to cover, but my daughter's saying twinkle, twinkle little star.
Starting point is 00:58:51 I really want. I really can't handle that. I really can't handle that. I really think that you're fucking with me there. I'm not. That is crazy. I'm not. Yep, that's the real show.
Starting point is 00:58:59 It's pretty nuts. God damn it. Yeah. I just, do you remember when Ted Koppel used to go on and deliver the nightly news to the world and then be like, hold on one second. I got my little three year old son. He's gonna sing a little song real quick.
Starting point is 00:59:16 And then we're gonna get right back to the hard news. It's so insane just to imagine any of the behaviors that are manifested on the show existing anywhere else. And the person doing it, not feeling like, wow, I'm terrible at this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:32 I'm trying to do a show that people should take seriously about political topics and like, I'm presenting myself as the only one in the world who gets it about the like centuries old conspiracy to destroy the West or whatever. And you do shit like this. All right. Now this, it does bear repeating that the only reason
Starting point is 00:59:53 that we have done over 300 episodes of our show is because Alex is perhaps the most unique show thing. He's nuts. That can be. Like to be at that level of success is like a one in 10 billion chance. That's the only thing that makes this interesting. Like this exact show, like from somebody
Starting point is 01:00:13 who just had a YouTube channel or whatever, you know, like some independently run show that's like this, is a dime a dozen. But somebody who is like, actually, yeah, it's, it's wild. It's incongruous. It makes no sense. We're going to spend the rest of our lives
Starting point is 01:00:32 trying to understand it. Perhaps. I'm all right with that. So in this next clip, Alex, this is sort of an encapsulation of a lot of Alex's conversation with Robert Barnes. He's thrilled with Robert Barnes' prognosticating ability because Barnes predicted that more people would Google Marianne Williams after the debate, which is like, oh, great.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Congratulations. Do you mean the least known person there? After the first debate, if your prediction is she's on the debate again, people are going to be curious about what she says. Yeah. Congratulations, sir. You're a psychic.
Starting point is 01:01:05 You're amazing. You've got a dark psychic force, that's for sure. He also predicted like Bernie was going to get a bump in the polls. Like I think that most people probably could have predicted that. But anyway, Alex thinks that he has the second site in terms of politics, and he brags about it.
Starting point is 01:01:21 And then come on the show tomorrow or something and really get with them and show. I predict I'll be on the show tomorrow. Forecasts should exactly what would happen in the last debate. I mean, word for word. And then you forecast it last night perfectly again. You should really meet with the producers today. You're so modest.
Starting point is 01:01:34 And get it done today. Or even sit down and should report. Because that's impressive. Like, see the top political gambler who even the Newark Times admits you are. Maybe you aren't, because they say you are, but the point is, it's liars, but none of you are. And show how you guys actually did this.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Like, watch the top political sports gambler predict the last two debates perfectly. That's the headline. That's pretty powerful. The boards could not take him less seriously. Nope. You're a psychic. You're doing great.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Yeah. And everything that you say is absolutely not a pursuit. It's like that guy on fucking storage wars. Yeah. So does not give a shit. It's worth pointing out that gambling on elections is illegal in the United States. So what Alex is talking about is literally a crime.
Starting point is 01:02:26 He's talking about you're recognized as one of the greatest politics gamblers. He had to go to Europe to bet on the 2016 election because it's illegal in the United States. So I don't know. It's one of those things. It's one of those things that I kind of think that, gambling on sports, I don't really think.
Starting point is 01:02:45 As long as you're not involved in the sport, it's generally, I think, it should be totally legal. I don't understand exactly why those laws are in place. Politics different. Yeah. I feel like that's different. And also, it's different when you are somebody who is now, I guess, a host on a political show.
Starting point is 01:03:08 When you're a political partisan, I think betting on politics, when you're involved in politics and you gamble on politics, I think that's so dirty. Yeah. I mean, first of all, even if you're not involved in politics, it's illegal in the United States. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:21 But even if it were legal, it'd be shady as hell. Yeah. For him to be an employee of Infowars and then also gambling on elections. Yeah. You're talking about the fucking stock market. Well, I mean, how do you? It is both.
Starting point is 01:03:34 How do you? It is both political gambling as well as gambling and it's all fucked up. How do you keep your content neutral if you're gambling for certain outcomes in politics? You don't. You can't. You cheat.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Right. Why wouldn't you? Or you do everything in your power to persuade towards the outcome that pays you the highest dividend. Right. Like whatever you're gambling on is probably what you're going to be advocating for.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Right. Well, that's why people are against gambling in sports is not because you'll make the person who makes five or 10 bucks off of a game. It's because when there's a shit ton of money involved, there's going to be a shit ton of people who are going to. Try and take a dive. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Yeah. Yeah. Like, hey, what are you going to do? And I just, I think it bears like really pointing this out. Alex will not stop talking about Barnes being a political gambler and a psychic about predicting. It's really not good. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:30 It's also not good when Barnes says things like he says in this next clip that indicate that maybe he doesn't know a whole lot about a lot of the issues that he covers. Yep. We do have a history of blood libel, and it led to the biggest purge and attacks and of anti-semitism and racial hatred in the world.
Starting point is 01:04:49 That's why they say, oh, this Jew did this 100 years ago. Oh, exactly. Or 2,000 years ago. I mean, they were the. That's right. You killed Christ. Exactly. Oh, that's the first reparations.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Exactly. The first reparations. Oh my God, you killed Christ. We're going to kill you 1,000 years later. What? That's not what the blood libel is. These two dudes are having it. First of all, I could just take that clip of we have a history
Starting point is 01:05:09 of the blood libel and be like, yes, absolutely. Very accurate. You and Alex Jones and that operation in force as an operation has a deep history of the blood libel. Love it. But he's trying to present, and he goes on, like the clip goes longer. They're very clearly talking about blaming Jews
Starting point is 01:05:28 for the crucifixion of Jesus is the blood libel. And that's not what it is. The blood libel is about accusations of Jews taking Christian children and using their blood to make matzah. Yeah. Like that is very, it's a different thing. Like them not understanding that and not
Starting point is 01:05:44 understanding the historical consequences of the subject that they're talking about and that they embody. I was going to say, yeah, if they, because if they said that, then they'd have to say, oh, man, that sure does sound a lot like when we say globalists take your children for adrenochrome. Those sound really, really suspicious. They're supposedly similar, almost a almost mad Libsian
Starting point is 01:06:05 similar, very, very similar. Yeah, weird. Yeah. Weird. Almost strange that you would use the term blood libel period. Yeah. Why would you do that? It seems like Barnes, you shouldn't have just brought
Starting point is 01:06:15 that up at all. I feel like you might have heard somebody talking about it and like, there's like, hey, I'm going to throw this in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck you. Anyway. Good work, Barnes. Info Wars as a whole, I would say,
Starting point is 01:06:27 is a white identity operation. Yes. The primary function is to launder white identity ideas into the West, like presenting it as the West. Right. And all that. So it's interesting to hear Barnes say that white identity politics, it's just a response.
Starting point is 01:06:52 It's just a response to things. The people who say that, they've been responding since the beginning, haven't they? White identity politics is a reaction to left-wing identity politics. They simply reincorporate the same language. So racists like Richard Spencer propagate, basically, leftist politics at the behest and behalf of the leftists
Starting point is 01:07:12 by just incorporating their terms into a different racial phraseology. I pulled my back out trying to understand that. Jesus Christ. I mean, I guess it's positive that he says that Richard Spencer is a racist. But I mean, outside of that, there's not much worthwhile in that clip.
Starting point is 01:07:29 But this is how people like Alex and the people on his world rationalize their dumb political positions. Like, we are only doing this because you made us do this. You got your leftist identity politics, and that makes me become an identity politics for whites. And it's pathetic. Just own what you're doing. Own what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:07:51 If you guys, if you black people and women and whatever, all you people on the left, if you would have just stayed quiet and allowed the status quo to continue running over you, we wouldn't have to be all white supremacy all the time. That's almost literally what he's getting at. That's exactly what he's getting at. And I would like to make another little point. I've never heard Pete Buttigieg say,
Starting point is 01:08:16 you have to do what I say because I'm gay. I've never heard him say that. But I've heard Alex say that as a way to delegitimize Pete's points or any of his positions. Now, I think that that's Alex doing identity politics. I don't understand what you're saying. He's minimizing Mayor Pete's points because he's saying, oh, I'm only supposed to listen to him because he's gay.
Starting point is 01:08:41 That's using his identity to demean and to delegitimize a point that he doesn't want to take seriously from someone he politically disagrees with. How dare you say. That is identity politics. No, identity politics can only come from within and then from without. They cannot be projected on somebody else
Starting point is 01:08:57 as though you were a false idol of who that person is. It's nuts. All this is is identity politics and then to crying identity politics. So pathetic. I'd have more respect for the positions that they put forth if they were a little bit more willing to own them.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Then it'd be like, no, this is what I feel. I care about my people. I don't care about any of you dumbasses. You should be able to vote. This is our country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would hate that. And I would still be as opposed to it as I am to this.
Starting point is 01:09:36 But at least there would be a moral clarity on Alex's part instead of hiding behind these dumb ideas about, I only do this because of their identity politics. I just like the West. I call that bullshit. Well, it's the way to trick the people who choose to live far less examined lives into believing that something they instinctively
Starting point is 01:09:59 know is wrong is still right. Well, I mean, he is still trying to do a money bomb. Right. Well, yeah, giving him money is absolutely wrong. Yeah, I mean, instinctively. I guess the message is you can't run the operation in any marketably viable way if you're honest about what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:10:18 You will be relegated to the same dustbin that David Duke is in, that Stormfront is in. You will be put in that same box if you speak bluntly about what you believe and the way that you wish the world to operate. So you hide behind these terms in order to hide your reality so you can fit in and try and infiltrate the mainstream of discourse.
Starting point is 01:10:46 And it's pathetic. And effective, unfortunately. Wildly uncontrollably. A lot of people are very stupidly effective. Very tricked by it. So in this next clip, Alex yells about how he thinks for himself. And he's, you know, that's how he knows everything. Like Robert Barnes knows what's going to happen
Starting point is 01:11:05 in these debates before they happen. Sure. Because we all just think for ourselves. It really doesn't sound right. It's not. And you know in their lawsuits against me, they keep saying, who's the secret group? What's the agency telling you what to do?
Starting point is 01:11:17 It's called not being a slave. It's called doing our own thinking. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Never having anyone tell me what to do every day, I made a lot of mistakes. You get better. Absolutely. It's being independent.
Starting point is 01:11:28 It's having an audience that allows this independence to thrive and survive by supporting infowars slowly. You are killing it, Barnes. Find the idea they like, support it. And they are the ones that are changing the world by allowing and authorizing us. Don't explain this equation.
Starting point is 01:11:42 It's like the sun growing plants or water or soil. Listen, if you're not just part of it, you're the entire biosphere. They are the sun. They are the sun. Store-wide free shipping, double-paid, 0.70% or more off. They are the sun. Major fundraiser, because we don't want to just sit here.
Starting point is 01:11:57 We want to expand in the face of the anime. But it is in your hands, infowarstore.com. Take action. Take action. Man. That's very desperate. It seems very desperate. Barnes is really, really killing the worm tongue roll.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Yeah. Like, he is supplicating in such a way as to manipulate Alex into thinking he's in control while the entire time being at Barnes' beck and call. 1,000%. It is real sad. But one of the things that he's also doing, and we noted this on another episode,
Starting point is 01:12:27 is like he's so much better at that smooth transition to an ad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, he's solving one of the most glaring problems in Alex's show, which is the really forced transition into salesmanship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Barnes is making that shit like, it's not seamless.
Starting point is 01:12:44 No. But he's making it much closer to like, you could trick people. No, no, no. Barnes is better call solving. Like, he is crushing it. Yeah. That like ambulance chaser salesmanship of like, Sleazy.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Yeah, hey, I'll get it. Yeah, no. Man, it's so good. Yeah, it's kind of scary. And it's terrifying. Yeah, it's that same kind of thought that people had with Trump. It's like, imagine a more competent person
Starting point is 01:13:14 who believes and acts the same way. Yeah. Barnes almost seems to be a manifestation of like a slightly better operating Alex. Right, which is why he'll never be as successful. Well, without Alex there to bounce off of his show, he'd be boring as shit. Yep.
Starting point is 01:13:32 And the same way that a smarter Trump would never get elected because he would never want to be elected. Conceivably. That would be an insane thing to do. The thing that makes Alex's show listenable or watchable to anybody is the part that makes him a fuck up. Yeah. So same thing with Trump getting elected.
Starting point is 01:13:52 So in his next clip, Barnes seems to suggest that Infowars is legitimately the only free press in the world. Really? The American Democratic experiment can only work with an independent free press and the only truly independent free press in the world is Infowars.
Starting point is 01:14:09 And that's why they see it as such a threat. Big swing, Barnes. Too big. Too big. Transparent. Infowars didn't start until like the 90s. So conceivably before that American democracy was impossible. There has never ever been a free press.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Until 1995 or so when Alex got on air, Infowars didn't start immediately. I think that that's crazy. It's insane. Infowars is the only free press in the world. And free press is necessary for American democracy. It'll go. Infowars, if it goes, so goes democracy.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Yep. Wow. Too big a swing. Too big a swing, Barnes. You've got to reel it back just a little bit. Perhaps. So earlier in the episode, Alex mentioned that some of this money that he's trying to raise, right?
Starting point is 01:14:56 Yeah. It's for covert operations. Now, we still don't really know what those covert operations are. Even in this next clip, we're not going to find out. Are you destroying Scientology records in the FBI? I think it's legal fees. Still.
Starting point is 01:15:12 I still think that. Yeah. But in this next clip, Alex discusses these covert ops a little more. All right. Free shipping, double patriot points. We're trying to hit a million dollars gross to bring in about $300,000 extra that we would normally
Starting point is 01:15:25 bring in during a week so that I can launch some covert operations that are all legal and awful that are, let's just say, shouldn't say too much, should I? Let's just say White House approved. But this is all organic. This is all completely of the people. What? I think it's legal and lawful.
Starting point is 01:15:48 And I'm sure the White House would be fine if you paying your lawyers. All of that could be true of legal fees. Yep. I don't know what the fuck kind of bullshit he's trying to pitch here. But whatever. White House approved.
Starting point is 01:16:02 So earlier in the episode, I mentioned that I got the real sense that when he played that, or when he discussed waking up and seeing $700,000, it turns out it's really $3,000. I was like, this is not feeling good. And when we get towards the end of the episode, he breaks it down. And it's worse than even I thought. Oh, that's not good.
Starting point is 01:16:25 We're asking you to win the war of information, is reach out to people and say, hey, you've heard of Alex Jones. You've heard of Robert Barnes. But a lot of stuff. Why don't you tune in and see it for yourself? First of all, no one's heard of Robert Barnes. No one outside of your community that already knows who you are. And already listens to you.
Starting point is 01:16:42 Barnes is an international celebrity. No one. The greatest political gambler. I guarantee you, if we put a poll up on the Drudge Report, no one knows who Drudge. Maybe a couple people there. What they don't want you to see so that we're doing live coverage tonight, because that's how we get new people in.
Starting point is 01:16:59 And we found when we get new people, they stay. That's why the system is so scared. So what he's saying there really quick before we get to the rest of this clip is that you need to spread the word about our shit. Because that's how we get new people in. We find that when we get new people in, they stay. That's not true. The second part is not true.
Starting point is 01:17:18 When they get new people in, they stay for a little while and then they leave, which is why he's in such a desperate need for new people. Just why the ad pitch that he's doing here starts with we need you to get the word out. Which is why that's almost as important to him as selling his product is you need to advertise for me. Because without that, I don't have for it to advertise.
Starting point is 01:17:39 I don't have new people coming in who I can trick with how interesting I am for a little while before they get the sense like this is impotent bullshit. This is going nowhere. He's making up most of the stuff, probably. I would rather listen to something else and they move along. He knows that. And that's why you being my advertising network
Starting point is 01:17:59 is super important. It doesn't want us going in 2020. But the good news is we're here. We're together. We're strong. Now, let's let the enemy know what's really going on. If I sell out all the product I have, we can run for a year. If I make the decision the next month while I'm at it.
Starting point is 01:18:17 But if we don't reorder, we will shut down then. So I can fund this for a year with the product we have. The problem is if I don't reorder, then in a year or less, we won't have the product to keep going and we'll shut down. Which maybe that's our mission. And here we'll get a new job and everything else. But I mean, we are to that point. And I'm maxed out.
Starting point is 01:18:38 And I've been begging for help. And you've kept us there. But it's always God just gives us like the widows might exactly what we need. Folks, I need to make decisions. I need extra capital to do these projects. And I'm not complaining. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:18:50 You're amazing. I'm just saying, who has paid off like this? What system in your life have you bought products at Walmart or Target or wherever and hadn't politically saved your future? Just go to infooreshore.com. Make a straight donation. Or by the products, we need to see a surge
Starting point is 01:19:06 to know that we can launch these operations because I've got operations ready that are going to devastate the globalist. I know that we've heard a number of times him talk about the impending doom of Info Wars. And so I don't know how seriously to take any of that. But it doesn't sound like he's embellishing. There's a resigned-ness to it.
Starting point is 01:19:27 And we've heard him in the last couple of months or so. Like, there has been a ramping up and a more frequent thing. Like, I just wish I was in the woods. There is a sense that he might be feeling an imminent end to him being able to do this. Oh, no. I've worked for, I think, four independent businesses while they were in the middle of going out of business.
Starting point is 01:19:53 And that sounds very familiar. To, like, meetings. That sounds very familiar. Yeah, I don't. Like I said, I've learned my lesson in the past with taking anything he says too seriously. Right. Even if it's what you want to believe is true,
Starting point is 01:20:10 or even if it sounds sincere, it could be that just being another marketing tactic he's using, trying to use the idea of their imminent demise to really juice up the troops and get them to give him the money that he needs. I don't know. I don't know. But I would say that if he is being sincere in any way,
Starting point is 01:20:32 this is an indication that he has overextended himself. He should not be launching operations. He should not be trying to pay Caitlin Bennett to go do whatever. He shouldn't be paying all of these reporters that do dog shit work. And he should just focus. Like his mission, what he wants to do, he could do for so cheap.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Oh, yeah. There is no reason why he can't fight the globalists exactly the same way he's doing. Get the same information out. Probably better for cheaper. Almost impossibly better. He is overextended because he doesn't care about that. That's not the mission.
Starting point is 01:21:13 I think it's part of his delusion. That is a big part. Because the legitimacy of his operation is only ever going to be compared to CNN or Fox News. So I used to make that big studio. So it has to be as big a studio as they have. Otherwise, he'll look at that studio that he goes into work every day, look at how small it is,
Starting point is 01:21:36 and think, what am I doing this for? I'm never going to be any good at this. I'm so glad I disabused myself of any notions like that pretty early on in podcasting. When I was first starting, I just had a four-track. And it was terrible. The sound was awful. And I'd see the pictures of professional recording studios.
Starting point is 01:21:54 And I'm like, that's what I need. If I could get to the point where I have that, everything will be great. And so I spent a ton of money. And I got microphone arms to hold the mics on. Everything looked really professional. And then as I did it, I was like, this isn't satisfying in any way.
Starting point is 01:22:14 Like the arms were weird. They were not cheap. And these arms were weird. And you have to sort of talk into the mic. And it just wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I realized the experience of holding a mic and just recording, that's all you need. Yeah, I can't remember which show that we guessed it on.
Starting point is 01:22:37 But if that had the arm mics the whole time, I was like, moving back. I can't do that. No, you're too jury. Because I jiggle, I move around all the time. I can't do that. And we're used to doing stand-ups or holding a mic. Isn't any kind of weird experience.
Starting point is 01:22:51 But I don't have any conception in my mind of if this grows to the point where we were making Alex Jones' money, that somehow I would need to have a TV wall behind me. No, no. Yeah, we'd record it exactly right here. But maybe we'd both have insurance. It's nuts to me. Because we can do the show that we're doing.
Starting point is 01:23:16 No amount of money would make the content better. Alex seems to believe that he can't do what he does without millions of dollars. And that is his vanity. That is his greed. And that is deceitful to his audience. If they really love an anti-globalist message and they really love his analysis of the world
Starting point is 01:23:43 and all that shit, I would assume they would be just as happy with an Alex Jones podcast that he records out of his garage. Why not? He owns a house. Podcasting equipment that he could get for $1,000 would be better than 90% of podcasts that are out there. There's no reason why he couldn't do that.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Oh, wait, he's kicked off iTunes. I guess he can't do that. Well, a few years ago, he could have done that. But he was happier doing a show a few years ago. He was making millions of dollars. See, that's that thing. While I was working at Zain, he's doing Kennedy, and I were talking about how our dreams are so modest.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Like, if you got $1,000,000 and you didn't have to worry about work, and what would you do? I don't know. I'd probably do stand up for 100 people a night and not really worry about it. That's it. That's my goal. That's my dream job.
Starting point is 01:24:43 And I would just use all that money to finance that. I have no interest in a big house or blah, blah, blah. I want to live the most creatively satisfying way I can for nobody. Alex is a greedy sack of goo. He is the worst. And I think the thing that's the most dishonest and most awful about it is the way that he uses what I'd describe
Starting point is 01:25:07 as understandable emotions in his audience in order to fuel his own greed. Because a lot of the audience is probably feeling deprived of something in their own life, or whether it's real or not. Whether those feelings stem from actual problems or from perceived ones that the media will work up in people's minds.
Starting point is 01:25:33 I believe that he's taking those things, giving them an enemy, and saying he's fighting it for them. In the direct way that you can get involved in that fight is either promote for me or give me money. It's deeply abusive. Well, he's taking. I really don't appreciate it. I mean, he's taking the problems that people have
Starting point is 01:25:54 and exploiting them to give them a different perceived problem. If all the money that everybody in Infowars, that everybody who listened gave to Infowars kept in their hands and they used it to figure out what actually was the issue that is leading them to Infowars, we might have far more well-adjusted people. Because he's taking that. Maybe your problem is.
Starting point is 01:26:23 He's misdirecting that energy for his own profit. You can't afford your medical bills. That's because of the globalists. They run the medical system. Yeah, exactly. The globalists are all over the HMOs, and they're all trying to. Why try and fix the medical system?
Starting point is 01:26:40 I've got to fix the globalists first. Well, to be fair, fixing the globalists by funding Alex's torpedo of truth in the Infowar against the globalists will fix that health system. Then there we go. I guess I'll sit here, give you my money, and wait patiently for the results to come back. Right.
Starting point is 01:26:58 He stymies people's motivation towards solving their problems because doing so makes him money. And it's shitty. And that's all this fucking money bomb is. It's a real shitty thing to do to somebody. Yep. It's profitable. It is.
Starting point is 01:27:16 So here's the last clip. Well, not that much. It's not that profitable, according to his own numbers. It was. It was when he had a steady inflow of people. That inflow of people is really what screwed him over. Like that disruption of the cycle is completely devastating to his business.
Starting point is 01:27:38 I think that's what we're seeing is the ramifications of that. No, well, you made your bed. So speaking of people who make their bed, Alex's daughter. We're not going to play her singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Thank God. I thank God so much.
Starting point is 01:27:55 No, I believe that she deserves her privacy. Good. And I don't want to turn this into a thing where we turn into the judges on American Idol and critique a child's singing. No interest in that. That seems like a bad use of our time. But I do want to point out how Alex
Starting point is 01:28:11 uses the clip that he recorded of his daughter's singing in order to help with a narrative. Because I think that that's also pretty disgusting. And I was sitting there this morning at about 7 AM with my daughter's World Cup that came in. I was cooking them breakfast. And I just looked at them and I thought, you know, that's good right there.
Starting point is 01:28:31 Innocence, the whole future. Strength, the purity that God's given us, the seed of the universe. And I thought about the globalists. Now they target children and young people to rob their future, to abuse them, the terrible things they're doing. I thought, you know, I never include my children on air.
Starting point is 01:28:48 My son learned to be on air. He's been on air since he was 10 years old. So, you know, before we get to the point where a daughter comes in singing, you may notice that what he's doing is he's using this image of his daughter singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star as an image of innocence to juxtapose
Starting point is 01:29:05 with the globalists who want to destroy the futures of the children, destroy their innocence. Blood libel, whatever. This is probably becoming old hat at this point, but I'd like to read to you from the protocols of the Elders of Zion. Protocol number nine, quote, we have fooled, bemused and corrupted
Starting point is 01:29:23 the youth of the Goiom by rearing them in principles and theories which are known to us to be false, although it is that they have been inculcated. Or how about this from protocol number 16, quote, we must introduce into their education all of those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order.
Starting point is 01:29:39 But when we are in power, we shall remove every kind of disturbing subject from the course of education and shall make out of the youth the obedient children of authority, loving him who rules as the support and hope of peace and quiet. They have corrupted the children.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Yeah, those Goiom. Too easy. These ideas of corrupting the innocence of the children as an attack geared at setting up a one world government are very central to Alex's worldview and they trace back directly to the protocols of the Elders of Zion. This is bullshit.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Alex's representation of the globalists is all or mostly at least taken directly from archaic anti-Semitism, old fashioned anti-Semitic ideas about these Jews who are trying to take over the world. When you look at these sorts of things, you see like all of these people in his sphere also that are people who have been blunt about it.
Starting point is 01:30:35 You know, people like the David J. Smith's of the world. Oh yeah. The people who have read Beckman, the people that he looks at as anti-New World Order, icons. These people all were very clear that they think it's Jews who run the world. So when you have Alex doing all this shit,
Starting point is 01:30:53 all of these narratives that are so central to his ideas about the globalists are just mirroring the protocols. It's just lame. Just fucking lame. Yeah. Also, he sounds so much happier when he's talking about making breakfast for his kids. He should just quit.
Starting point is 01:31:08 Yeah. God, Alex. Don't order another shipment, Alex. Just quit. Just quit. Give it to Barnes. Retire to your fucking forest. You'll be so happy.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Barnes doesn't want it if Alex isn't on the hook for like. Yeah, that's true. Barnes doesn't want to take over. It's sinking ship. Right. Look, he's better at the ad pivots, but he can't save this. No, that's true.
Starting point is 01:31:27 This is true. Like, Info Wars is in. It dies with him. Yeah. Info Wars is in the shit. Yeah. And even if Alex did like have Barnes come in, like have a hostile takeover, there's
Starting point is 01:31:36 no way he could step aside. No. It's got to all die. Yeah. It has to go away, and then Alex can be free of this monstrosity that he's created. Sell it as a franchise. Then you got Barnes Wars.
Starting point is 01:31:49 You got Owens Wars. You got Roger Wars. Toss it all in there. I can't imagine the hangover a lot of these people are going to have, like, if Info Wars goes away. I imagine they all have to run to Brazil, maybe, and then get taken up to the Hague eventually. Like, that's bite.
Starting point is 01:32:07 They're going to boys from Brazil. That's all I got. I mean, it's an interesting image to have in your head, certainly. And if the world does go the worst possible direction, I think there is an argument. I think there is an argument to be made for whenever everything clears up, then having some responsibility
Starting point is 01:32:25 in things going bad. But I think more realistically, if they go out of business, because you can't afford to pay for this shit. If that does happen, you got to imagine, like, what's Owen Troyer going to do? He's unemployed. I don't know. Pipefitters Union?
Starting point is 01:32:44 Yeah, I'll just go work for one American News Network or something. He'll get a job at Breitbart. He's probably got somebody family business go become a plumber. Go back to St. Louis. I think it's an entirely honorable thing for, I think, he would be happier if he was just a goddamn plumber. I think all of these people would be happier
Starting point is 01:33:02 if they weren't career liars. Yeah. Anyway, this is the end of this present day episode. I think his debate analysis is thin. Is that what we were talking about? Yeah. Yep. It was a part of it.
Starting point is 01:33:21 So we learned that Alex thinks he needs to listen to Pete because he's gay. Right. And that Marianne Williamson thinks Trump is poisoning Detroit. Right. And his take on Bernie and Warren absolutely kicking ass. I'm not positive that he brought up Elizabeth Warren.
Starting point is 01:33:37 It kind of sounds like he wouldn't do that. She is not the person you want to bring up after that debate. I can't guarantee it. But I don't think I even heard him do this Bernie impression on this episode. Yeah. He might have at one point or something. But it wasn't rememberable.
Starting point is 01:33:53 I don't remember it happening. Yeah. Yeah, I think he steered clear in favor of more sensational topics. Absolutely. And he's trying to reinforce the idea of this drudge poll that Marianne Williamson is the leader in the clubhouse. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:06 And so why would he talk about the other people? Well, that's also why CNN and Fox News or not Fox News. That's why they have 20 candidates on these debates is because if you have the candidates with ideas like Warren and Sanders actually having a debate with each other, it's going to be riveting two people slightly disagreeing with each other on line item policies respectfully. Whereas if you have Warren and Sanders trying to do good
Starting point is 01:34:37 and then eight moderate candidates throw in bullshit bombs at them, while the CNN moderators themselves are like, your ideas are stupid and fanciful. Do you agree? What's your comment? Yeah, like what are we doing here? The entire thing is designed to make Warren and Sanders look ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:34:54 Yeah, and they kicked ass. Yeah, it didn't work. Yeah. I guess like, I mean, I'm not super interested in Alex's coverage of the second night. But I am much like Robert Barnes. I am psychic. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:35:09 And I'm going to guess that Alex made a lot of hay out of Joe Misspeaking, Joe Biden Misspeaking. And quite frankly, I would rather, on Twitter, just watch people who I agree with philosophically make fun of Joe for that. I don't need to hear Alex do it. No, if I'm going to look for Joe Biden criticism, I'm going to go with people I agree with.
Starting point is 01:35:32 Yeah, yeah. I don't need to go to Alex for that, which is just another indication of how useless he is. Anyway, we'll be back on Monday with another episode. But this show is stupid in the present day, Alex. I feel like I need to repeat that whenever we do a present day episode. This show sucks.
Starting point is 01:35:48 You haven't missed it. This show sucks. You have always gotten right on time. But it is important to remember that Alex could kill someone with a hammer, 10 people with a hammer in two minutes. For sure. That's, I think that's doable.
Starting point is 01:36:01 10 people with a hammer in two minutes? I really think it's a lot harder to kill somebody with a hammer than you think. I want to say. Does the person have to die within those two minutes, or can you just inflict the damage that kills them? I mean, it doesn't count if you die like two days later from complications.
Starting point is 01:36:16 I think it counts. I don't, it does not count. I think you get partial credit. Partial credit? OK, then I'll give them six and a half people in two minutes. Here's the issue. What kind of hammer are we talking? Ooh, gotta be ball peen.
Starting point is 01:36:27 No. Gotta be ball peen. Then you can't do it. No, the ball peen is the, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I think if you use a ball pen hammer, then you are going to be, that's easily deflected. I think if you get a sledgehammer, very doable. Sledgehammer, man, it's 30 seconds to swing a sledgehammer.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Claw hammer. Claw hammer. Then you could use the other side of it. Right. And that's dangerous. That's, yeah, but that's still harder to kill somebody. A lot of questions will remain. Don't think we're going to get to the bottom of this.
Starting point is 01:36:55 Where's the Discovery Channel's hammer kill week? I think this is the best takeaway from this episode. Is that Alex maybe could kill 10 people with a hammer. Doubt it. In two minutes. He's obsessed with that. Anyway, we'll be back. But we have a website, knowledgefight.com.
Starting point is 01:37:10 We're also on Twitter at knowledge underscore fight and at go to bed George. You can find us on Facebook. You can. You could go to iTunes. You could download the podcast. You could leave a review. If you wanted to, you could find your nearest abyss.
Starting point is 01:37:24 Stare directly into it. Once you realize that it is staring back at you, you will receive a small comment card. Fill out your reaction to our podcast and how you feel about the abyss. And then we will send you a free download every time. You bet. So until next time, I would say that the imaginary people
Starting point is 01:37:43 digging up arrowheads in Alex's lake house yard probably haven't killed anybody. The Romany King has. I don't know if that's a real person. So I'm going to say no, probably not. But one guy who technically probably has, maybe, with a hammer is Alex Jones. Andy and Chansel, sure on the air.
Starting point is 01:38:01 Thanks for holding. So Alex, I'm a first-time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work. I love you.
