Starting point is 00:00:00 Music Music Music Music Music Andy and Fanzis Music Stop it.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Andy and Fanzis It's time to pray Andy and Fanzis you're on the airplane受 the Airplane Hello Alex I'm a Cicason color I'm a huge fan I love your work Knowledge Fighting No, no, no, no, no, Knowledgefight.com I love you.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We're a couple dudes that sit around, draconality beverages and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. Oh, indeed we are Dan. Jordan. Dan.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Jordan. I have a quick question for you. What's up? What's your bright spot today? My bright spot today, Jordan, paradoxically very strange unexpectedly social media. Social media. The thing that you have left as soon as you finally
Starting point is 00:01:22 realized after eight months that you should have been gone from it. Yeah, I don't like social media in a lot of its manifestations for mutations. Sure. Because I find that it just doesn't match with the way my brain works. Not no shade on people who do enjoy it or like Twitter and
Starting point is 00:01:39 Facebook and stuff. I just it's not for me. As I've gotten older, I recognize that it's confusing. I don't like when I was running the Knowledge Fight Twitter account and it became a thing where it's like, I know I'm using this. Everybody who listens to the show knows I'm using this. Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:00 So if I post promo stuff, it feels dirty. Yeah. Yeah. It feels like I don't know. Yeah. So get a version to self promotion. But I understand. Anyway, the reason that I'm throwing a bright spot to
Starting point is 00:02:13 social media is I started to think about like what are ways that social media can be used in ways that are fun and not dumb. And everyone keeps asking for pictures of my plants. Oh, yeah. So I've started an Instagram account called plant underscore fight. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:32 All right. Post pictures of plants. I like it. And so far, people have enjoyed it. I posted a picture of the quinoa. So far, I like it. And periodically will feature different plants from around Dan's Wild Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:02:44 But I figured that was like it's not connected to the show. It's not too intrusive on my personal life. And it felt like that writes that nice sweet spot and something that people enjoy. People like seeing these plants. Yeah. I think so. I think so.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Yeah. So I think maybe this is a function that social media can serve. Although I still think most of it's trash. Here's what we'll do. I'll make an Instagram account for my two dogs. People have asked for me to post pictures of your dogs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I'll go with Westies underscore fight. We'll compete to see whose, I guess, growing things are better. I'm afraid that your dogs are cuter than most of my plants. I think I'd probably lose that underscore fight. But I'm not as popular as you, Dan. I don't know about that. Oh, yeah. So what's your bright spot?
Starting point is 00:03:34 My bright spot today, Dan, is it is back to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. But it is a specific reference in Valhalla that I particularly enjoyed that came out of nowhere, which was a reference to One Punch Man. Do you know about One Punch Man? Vaguely, yeah. Yeah. So One Punch Man is a manga and an anime
Starting point is 00:03:55 about a very depressed guy who can defeat anything and anyone in One Punch. Yes, I believe you've told me about this. And he's so existentially destroyed by that, like how bored and awful it is to be the ultimate power in the universe, I guess, that he's just a real bummer all the time. And there's a perfect reference to that in Valhalla,
Starting point is 00:04:18 where you have to fight a guy who will always defeat you in One Punch. OK. And he's a real bummer about it. People could have guessed that was going to be the spoiler. Yeah, it's a reference. Yeah, so it's very, very, very funny. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I enjoyed it. It's a little Easter egg. It's nice to be surprised by a little reference in there. Sure. That's good. I have a gripe. I don't know what the deal is, but I lost a bunch of time on Valhalla.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Did you have a corrupted save, where you kept falling through the? No, I hit a bug, though, that I ran into. And that was, and maybe this is just one of those problems that happens when you play games, when they first come out, that I'm not really used to. But I had, there's a mission at a certain point, where without any spoilers, you talk to a guy,
Starting point is 00:05:03 and then you've got to get to another city. Sure. You've got to take a boat to get to the other city. And every single time, after I talked to this guy, the boat would spawn in the middle of land. Like, just as if it were a horse. Sure, sure. Just in the middle of a path.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I can't do anything with this. And so I had to go back to my most recent auto save file. And it had auto-saved so many times, while that boat was. Sure, sure. You restarted, like, 50 times, and all your auto-saves wound up getting you back to where the boat was. So the last save before that was a great. Four hours, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Yeah. It was very frustrating, but it is what it is. Yeah, I had the same thing happen on one mission. All of a sudden, every time I loaded the save, the entire screen would just start shaking. And then my character would just fall directly through, and then fall forever until she died. And that was it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Even great games, sometimes there are little problems. Launch date, release bugs, it happens. And you know the other thing that's really exciting for me, too, is that I know that Age of Clamity, the Zelda game, Hyrule Warriors, has come out. Oh, it has. And I haven't even touched it or got it. I haven't even thought about it.
Starting point is 00:06:28 You don't have time. No. And that's a nice feeling to know that that's there. If I ever, ever, because it may not ever happen. You've got another 80 to 100 hours to put into that. If I ever finish with Valhalla, then Age of Clamity is there waiting for me. And that's a nice comforting feeling.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Anyway, I had second bright spot there. Yeah, that is great. So George, today we had an interesting episode to go over. Alex went down to Georgia. All right. Shout out to the couple people made audio versions of that. Yes, they did. My parody song, which is very interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:06 This is a new level of fame. Oh, yeah. I'm quite frankly uncomfortable with, but I think it's delightful. You reached a lot of people. People have put my parody song to music. Honestly, I think a lot of people were expecting a sequel today.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I don't know if is there a sequel to The Devil on Time for George? Yeah, not a Charlie Daniels version. No, no, no. But there's a million different. In that case, mine was a sequel. That's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:07:35 No, there is no sequel. I figured, you know, can't force it. But Alex, he went down to Georgia. And I will say that this experience was not what I wanted it to be. It lacked a lot of the charm and the fun of the caravan. Sure. And that's because the caravan allowed
Starting point is 00:07:56 me to paint a picture, whereas in this case, it's kind of Alex, the pictures painted. You realize every time we get excited for something, we're talking about people who turn every good thing into shit. Yeah, yeah, we're getting excited about the potential that never gets realized. We are the fucking Lucy. Or no, we're Charlie Brown.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Every time they set up that football, we're like, we're going to fucking do it this time. We're going to kick it. It's going to be a caravan field goal. It's going to be amazing. And then they slide it out from under us again and again. Yeah, it is unfortunate. So there's still some fun to be had a long way.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And I actually had a number of interesting things that I want to bring up and discuss in the course of this. But we're just going to be talking about November 18, 2020. I'm Dan. This is 2020. Hey. Oh, you're still all right with it. I told you, we're still all right with it.
Starting point is 00:08:50 It's too late. I've accepted it. I also want to say that when I discussed this on the last episode, it was actually the stuck in my crawl a little bit. I said that you were submitting to the bit. And I don't actually, that was not the right choice of word. I meant surrender.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Surrender is that was the word I was looking for. Surrender is a good word. It bothered me for like an entire day that I couldn't come up with that word. You ever have something stuck in your crawl? I was laying in bed and was like, I meant surrender. Damn it. So the reason that we only have this one day is because I
Starting point is 00:09:23 think the trip to Georgia is pretty unimpactful. I think that it's repetitive in nature what Alex does when he's on the road. And at the same time, there's enough stuff that happened during this episode that's worth talking about to try and force it and do like the whole rest of the week would have ended up with like a six hour episode.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I still hasn't pulled a computer chip out of that homeless person. So still has not. We're on eight months of not pulling the computer chip out of somebody. Yeah, I'd like to. There's so many running tallies. How many days has it been since Rand Paul
Starting point is 00:09:58 has refused your challenge to debate? We're getting up to close to 150. We are currently on day four of this scourge of gun toting Daleks running around the streets. We are in like, there's a lot of tallies. There's a lot of things to keep an eye on. Yeah, but you know what I'd like to keep an eye on? What's that, Dan?
Starting point is 00:10:18 My gratitude and our gratitude for the folks who have signed up and are supporting the show. I like it. So first, like to give a shout out to Caden. So the C, C-A-Y-D-E-N. Thank you so much. You are now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Thanks, Caden. Thank you. Next, Joe the fourth with Roman initials IV. Thank you so much. You're now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thank you very much, Joe the IV. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Next, Darren M. That's D-A-R-I-N. Thank you so much. You're now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thanks, Darren. Thank you. Next, Taylor D.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Thank you so much. I'm a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thank you very much, Taylor. Thank you. Next. That's Taylor Danes. Sure.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Okay. Next, Zoe P. Thank you so much. You're now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thanks, Zoe. You ever get into a Zoe Zoe argument? No.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Good. Okay. Next, this fella asked me to say how I thought his last name was pronounced. Okay. And I know that this was just because it looks like wiener. Sure. I knew it was wiener.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Sure. I have one. Like, maybe, maybe. Sometimes it's wiener. I think it's rarely. I mean, like Matt Wiener, isn't he the guy who made Madman? Sure.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Isn't that Matt? I might have the first name wrong. Something like that. Yeah. So anyway, Jason, thank you so much. You are now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thanks, Jason.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You ever get into a wiener-wiener argument, Dan? Yes. That one I have. Next, Quasar the Corgi star. Thank you so much. You are now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thanks, Q, the CS.
Starting point is 00:11:51 And finally, I'd like to thank you to a couple people who donated on an elevated level from abroad. Ooh. So first, Jan from Denmark. Thank you so much. You are now a technocrat. And Mirjam from...
Starting point is 00:12:03 This is a name that I'm not going to be able to handle. You're going to do this. Hammond Linnah. Thank you so much. You are now a technocrat. I'm a policy wonk. Crocky, mate. That's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Have yourself a brew. How's your 401k doing, bro? We got to go full tilt boogie 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 00:12:30 Thank you so much to our representatives from Denmark and Hammond Linnah. Hammond Linnah. Yes, thank you very much to the both of you. I look forward to your correction about the pronunciation of it. It'll be great. It's pronounced quaka.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Probably. So if you're out there listening and thinking, hey, I enjoy this show, I'd like to support these Jants. Do you can do that by going to our website, pressing that button to support the show, or? If you are experiencing any kind of malaise or perhaps existential crisis, what you should do is fill yourself with a generous spirit,
Starting point is 00:13:00 channel that Chi energy all the way up into your fist, and punch a local charity or bail fund but metaphorically and with generosity. All right, that works. So Jordan, this is the reverse of the caravan. And I don't know why I didn't see this. The Navarroch. I don't know why I didn't see this in advance.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I'm so blind. I'm so blind to what's actually gonna happen. Sure. Because Alex going down to Georgia, it's like, this is exciting. Alex is gonna be rampaging. But I forgot that that means that Owen is gonna be hosting the show.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And I forgot that, oh, it's the flip of the dynamic from the caravan where Owen's out on the road and Alex is, you know, throwing to him in the field. Now we've got, God, I was just like, as soon as you get into it, you're like, oh, no. How does Owen try and really pull off three hours? Well, one of the ways he does it is he mostly plays a live feed of Alex
Starting point is 00:14:03 and Ali Alexander yelling in Atlanta on this episode. That's smarter for him. There's a lot of that. So thankfully there's that. Sure. And I will say I appreciate it. And the episode starts with Alex doing a little bit of a message.
Starting point is 00:14:16 This is the Mark and the Beast out of Revelation. It's not coming. It's here. And so many of the big Baptist churches and Catholic churches are putting in the QR codes and doing all the same thing because they're not churches. They've been taken over by this system. So it's gonna all get rapidly worse very, very quickly.
Starting point is 00:14:32 So Alex has got some fear of QR codes he wants everyone to have. I don't know what he thinks QR codes are. The thing that's been around for 15 years? It's been around for a while. And in the real world, they're just an advancement of the same idea behind a barcode which is used by many retail outlets.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I say many because if you don't want to use barcodes and UPC scanners to ring up products, you don't have to. No, you do. It's compelled by the Mark and the Beast. You don't have to. No, it's compelled by the Mark and the Beast. It's just efficient. The main reason I pulled this clip
Starting point is 00:15:05 was to illustrate how deep into the nonsense Alex is to start this show off. The second reason I included this clip is probably more important. And it's to use this as an opportunity to explain how people like Alex are broken records trying to make everyone afraid of everything for no reason. QR codes are something that Alex
Starting point is 00:15:20 is trying to scare his audience about. And interestingly, if you look into the history of the thing that preceded QR codes, the UPC barcode, you'll find hysterical people doing the exact same thing 50 years ago. According to an article about UPC history in Wired, quote, when the first UPC scanners arrived in the early 1970s, according to various IBMers
Starting point is 00:15:40 who worked on the project, there were protest at grocery stores, even though the codes appeared on Coke cans and jars of applesauce, not right hands and foreheads. I love Christianity. And in the year that followed, an urban legend arose warning gullible types that the number 666 was hidden in each barcode.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Some of these paranoid types noted that there were often sixes in the barcode, which were in fact arbitrary, but it doesn't matter. Again, from the article, quote, early test films of the scanners were labeled with the letters F, G and H, and some saw this as proof that the code would wind up on more than just Coke cans,
Starting point is 00:16:14 assisting the H stood for head and the F for forearm. Sure. People do this, it's inevitable, because change and the future are both scary things. The more complex the system is, the greater possibility it has in terms of productivity and effectiveness and ability to help people live better lives, but as that complexity increases,
Starting point is 00:16:33 the theoretical damage that it could cause go up to. A simple example is just the internet. The ability for people to communicate and digitally interact over great distances, it's revolutionary in terms of information flow and directing charitable assistance to places that need it, but it's created a gigantic tinder box that could explode at any time.
Starting point is 00:16:52 For instance, back in 2013, the Associated Press's Twitter account got hacked. An a fake tweet was posted about two explosions going off at the White House that had injured President Obama. This wasn't true, but the effect on the stock market was real and it's the byproduct of a volatility that would not exist without the ability
Starting point is 00:17:11 for information to travel exceedingly fast. Almost every technology you can imagine could be slotted into this kind of balance. Having a centralized power company in your town relieves you of the burden of having to run a generator yourself, but also, if there's like a bad storm in your area, your whole block might end up losing power for a while.
Starting point is 00:17:30 The complexity of emerging technologies provides benefits, but also increases the problems when something goes wrong. Alex is just one in a long, long chain of hysterical idiots yelling about how some newish, not even that new, newish invention is the end of the world. He's rambling about QR codes just like his forefathers who protested barcodes outside grocery stores.
Starting point is 00:17:53 It's a real bummer that John of Patmos really maligned a more efficient system. Like maybe if Satan were less of, like God is kind of a Luddite in this scenario, right? So the Antichrist is like, hey, let's give everybody a mark so we can do the whole thing. You can do commerce, you can do all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Yeah, I get that that can be abused, but it's still a more efficient system, all right? God is out here like, let's give everybody free will. Fuck that noise, that gets everybody complicated. See what we're talking about with Twitter? People are jumping out there lying, screwing in the stock market in two seconds. Put the mark of the beast on everybody, forehead,
Starting point is 00:18:30 call it a day. All right, that's my plan. I lost myself entirely in that speech. I was like, all right, yeah, let's do that. You have a hypnotic power today, Jordan, I'm worried about it. So Alex is on the scene in Atlanta with Allie. And the beginning of the show is
Starting point is 00:18:53 what appears to be a prerecorded, or it could have been live. I'm not entirely sure. Thing of them just sort of yelling about this guy. And Allie has some big news to break down. This is just one example of dozens that have already come out in the last day. This is just now breaking in Georgia where we are.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Just this morning, it is breaking news. David Schaefer, the Georgia Republican Party Chair, tweets this, one of our monitors discovered 9,626 vote air in DeKalb County, Hancock. That is in Atlanta. One bachelor's label, 10,707 votes for Biden and just 13 for Trump. An improbable margin, even for DeKalb standards.
Starting point is 00:19:32 The actual count for the batch was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump. Had this counting error not been discovered, Biden would have gained enough votes from this one batch alone to cancel out Trump's gains from Fayette County, Floyd and Walton. Folks, we have to audit the vote and we have to check the signatures in Georgia.
Starting point is 00:19:54 That's why Alex Jones and I are here. So Allie is reporting based on a tweet that was posted by David Schaefer, the head of the GOP in Georgia. But it's a very misleading tweet designed to be used by bad faith actors like Alex and Allie to fuel their machines that they're trying to use to overturn this election.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Naturally. Basically what happened was this. They're conducting this recount in Georgia and during the recount, someone made a recording error. That is to say that they mistakenly put down over 10,000 votes for Biden and 13 for Trump when in reality, the total was just over 1,000 for Biden and 13 for Trump.
Starting point is 00:20:28 This mistake was caught in the recount and that's what Schaefer is yelling about. This counting error was not made in the initial automated count of the ballots, only in the recount. So it does not actually affect the totals for the state at all. But that's the impression that Schaefer's tweet
Starting point is 00:20:42 and Alex's coverage are designed to leave the audience with. The idea is supposed to be that there's sleuths uncovered 9,000 votes from the actual election for Biden that were erroneous when in reality someone involved with the recount made a mistake and the process caught it before it actually was a big mistake. Yeah, that'll happen.
Starting point is 00:20:58 The DeKalb County CEO released a statement that basically said that they were unable to verify the claims of this error, but to put it in my words, even if everything Schaefer said is true, it doesn't matter. Quote, based on Chairman Schaefer's Twitter storm, I was a little surprised by the tone of this statement.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Chairman Schaefer, okay. No, I was more about the Twitter storm part. Based on Chairman Schaefer's Twitter storm, the alleged vote error was discovered, reported to DeKalb elections officials and corrected prior to the transmission of the official audit report to the Georgia Secretary of State's office.
Starting point is 00:21:31 If the scenario occurred as Chairman Schaefer alleges, this is evidence that the checks and balances established by Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to ensure the accuracy of the election results performed as designed. As is always the case with Alex and Ali, this is a dud, but it's a dud that they're probably going to use as a piece of evidence of fraud for.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Sure, forever. Yup. And it's not just Georgia, baby. It's not. Somebody during the recount accidentally put an extra zero and then they found it and now it's all over. More or less. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah. Okay, cool. But it's not just Georgia. Thanks, America. It's also in Michigan. Sure. Michigan's got problems. Odd.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Breaking news, Ali, on the situation that it's just explosive, like out of a Hollywood gangster movie, in Michigan, tell us about that. So in Wayne County, Michigan, that's a Detroit, the Republicans to Republicans, the two Democrats sit on the canvassing board. The Republicans decided not to certify the election,
Starting point is 00:22:31 but under duress and threat from hundreds of thousands of tweets, the leftist, Antifa, BLM, they reluctantly agreed under the condition that the secretary of state would do an audit. We are illegal and constitutional limbo as we don't even understand what that means. Are they right? So you don't understand what that means.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Rolling from the left against people who just want to certify clean elections, not bad elections. What Ali is saying is inaccurate, but let's pretend for a moment what he's saying is true. That would mean that the Republicans on this council he's talking about were willing to certify an election that they felt was fraudulent
Starting point is 00:23:06 because people were mean to them on Twitter. Yep. Alex, I'm sorry, Ali is saying that like it's an understandable thing. Like the leftists were just too mean on Twitter. They had to certify the results. Well, when you say mean things, that's how the American revolution started.
Starting point is 00:23:21 George, sure there was the taxation thing, but George was like, these guys are a bunch of dicks. And they were like, well, we got to tear this place down. Yeah, I mean, it's like in the Declaration of Independence, cyber bullying comes up a lot. How dare you write letters to us? Ali is saying like the people tweeting stuff, this mean stuff, it's like the equivalent
Starting point is 00:23:41 of having a gun to your head, which is ridiculous. If it's your job to make sure the election is fair and your decision-making process is in any way affected by what someone on Twitter says, you've proven exactly one thing, and that is that you're not qualified for your position. Yeah. The Wayne County Board of Candidators met
Starting point is 00:23:58 to certify the election results and things broke down on a party line. With the two Republicans, William Hartman and Monica Palmer voting against certification and the Democrats voting for certification. At issue was the number, there was a number of precincts that had an unexplained discrepancy in vote totals.
Starting point is 00:24:14 According to the Detroit Free Press, most of them recorded discrepancies of three votes or fewer. In 2016, there were similar discrepancies in voter totals and Jill Stein's campaign had pushed for a recount. This recount was ended by a court order before it could be completed, but after the election was over,
Starting point is 00:24:31 the state of Michigan did do an audit and it found that a vast majority of the unexplained discrepancies were easily explainable by human error. And that, quote, many of the problems encountered in Detroit are attributable to a lack of proficiency using EPB software
Starting point is 00:24:46 or the mishandling of provisional envelope ballots. They found in their audit that votes were accurately counted, but that there were mistakes made in terms of being able to correctly match each vote with its ballot because of these various human errors. It's incredibly likely, almost to a point of certainty,
Starting point is 00:25:03 that this same phenomenon is present here in the 2020 election. Ultimately, Palmer and Hartman agreed to certify the Wayne County results when the Democrats on the board agreed to do an audit of the votes, but apparently Palmer and Hartman didn't realize that the audit would be literally impossible
Starting point is 00:25:19 to do prior to the certification of the election. And so they tried to recant their certification, which is something they can't do. So that's where things stand right now. You know, you can recant a certification after an election. That's how it always works, Dan. The cynical-minded fellow out there
Starting point is 00:25:33 might think that the real reason that Palmer and Hartman decided to recant their decision to certify is that Trump called them personally, but what do I know? Oh, that'd be crazy. Now, Rhonda McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chair,
Starting point is 00:25:44 is calling for Michigan to adjourn their board for 14 days to get to the bottom of these very serious, or possibly wildly, overblown issues. At the point of us recording this episode, we don't know how this is gonna shake out, because the board in Michigan is set to certify on Monday, which is in the future from us right now.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Great. All signs appear to indicate that, like Georgia, they will certify the results, but this world is fucking insane. So I am not going to take anything for granted. Yeah, come on, why not? The reality is that there were precincts. Let's get a nice Andrew Johnson in there
Starting point is 00:26:16 to help take us over. Couldn't hurt. You know, what's the wrong with it? No, no, no, no, no. No, whenever there's a fraudulent election, you want an Andrew Johnson to come back in there. Well, there were issues of voting discrepancies that are to an extent normal.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Sure. And that is something that's being weaponized by Ali, and one of the ways that he's doing it is just outright lying. They're still calling for an audit, but they did go ahead and say they're going to certify it because things were quote, out of balance at a record level.
Starting point is 00:26:46 So they're out of balance at a record level. I think it was double from 2016 to now. That's just categorically not true. Alex and Ali are making this stuff up, knowing that no one in their audience will question them or go consult the 2016 audit, which I would bet anything I own that even these two dudes don't know exists.
Starting point is 00:27:04 It'd be really hard to find. You'd have to Google it. It's not hard. And then you'd read it. That part might be hard for them. Have you read things before? That's hard. The Detroit Free Press said this
Starting point is 00:27:13 of the unexplained discrepancies in Wayne County in the 2020 election, quote, of Detroit's 503 election day precincts, 85 recorded unexplained discrepancies in the vote totals, as did 94 of the city's 134 absentee voting counting boards. Most of them recorded discrepancies of three votes are fewer. If you consult the 2016 election audit
Starting point is 00:27:35 conducted by the Michigan Department of State, you'll find that quote, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers reported during the post-election canvas period that concluded November 22nd, 2016, approximately 392 precincts appeared to be out of balance. If you combine the in-person and absentee counting boards from 2020, you have a decrease of 213 out-of-balance precincts
Starting point is 00:27:58 in this election compared to four years ago, not double. Sure, sure. But that's by 10,000 each time. Sure. Every single one of those is an accidental adding of 1,000. No. These numbers probably sound high and they kind of are,
Starting point is 00:28:13 but these are almost entirely indicative of minor human errors that do not actually affect vote counts. But they do lead to accounting problems. For instance, the audit report discusses the case in 2016 of precinct 152, where the sealed ballot container, it only had 50 votes in it at the end of the night, but the rules indicated that 306 votes had been cast.
Starting point is 00:28:35 This was because poll workers had accidentally left the rest of the ballots in the tabulator and failed to put them then into the sealed container. Sure. It's a problem and it will lead to a discrepancy, but it doesn't actually have any bearing on the vote tellings or mean there was any fraud. Most problems that you will hear people like Alex Yell
Starting point is 00:28:51 about fall into this category. And I would be willing to venture a guess that in a few months, whenever there is an audit of this election, which Alex will ignore by that point, you'll find a lot of similar human error issues. Sure. Have you ever counted to 1,000 and then counted to 1,000 with two people over your shoulder,
Starting point is 00:29:12 six feet away from you going like, no, that's one more for the other team. Like of course you're going to get three wrong. I mean, look, in Mario Party six, I think, there was a little mini game where you had to remember the order of fruits. Yeah. Yeah, you remember four fruits usually.
Starting point is 00:29:32 And sometimes my friends got it wrong. Of course. Well, I'm granted we were high as hell when we would play it, but still. Sure. One time my buddy Swearingen, it was a bundle of grapes, was the thing he had to remember. And he said, I think it was grapes and he pluralized it
Starting point is 00:29:50 and he got it wrong. You went off on it. No, he got it wrong. Oh, that's right, because the game does it for you. Yeah, because it was the voice. It was that weird. Scatter Gory's argument that everybody got into. It was that weird period where the,
Starting point is 00:30:04 I think it was the GameCube had a microphone that you could have like a couple of voice commands. It would recognize you'd be like, banana, grape. Sure. And he got it wrong even though he had the right. I think so, yeah. Lives on in my memory.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Forever. Anyway. Yeah, my point is that people can make mistakes. People make mistakes. The larger point here though is that Ali and Alex are completely wrong and absolutely just making up that there's record levels of precincts being out of balance.
Starting point is 00:30:33 They have no idea what they're talking about and the actual numbers are the exact opposite of their narrative. There wasn't record discrepancy. And if you go by the strict numbers, there was a 54% decrease in precincts reporting unexplained discrepancies this election cycle. Seems like a progress.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yeah, that would make sense considering for the like three months up to the election, everybody was constantly screaming about how there's no possible way that this would be a fair counted election. So everybody went so fucking overboard. Well, and because of those discrepancies that happened in the 2016 election,
Starting point is 00:31:05 there were probably a lot of conversations about little things that could be done to limit. I think that, I mean, obviously you'd like to see that number even lower, but that much of a decrease from one presidential election to another seems like pretty good. I don't know. I mean, let's say we've got, what is it?
Starting point is 00:31:26 Almost 150 million votes cast or over 160 million now, something along those lines. And we have, what? It's 50% of the counties in Michigan in 2016 reported fewer than three, three or fewer. Like that's a vote tally of discrepancy less than 1,000. Well. In Michigan, that's ridiculously.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah, yeah. And reading over this audit, they were discussing that like the really bad ones are ones that had over three. And that, you know, it leads you to recognize that these ones that are out of balance aren't out of balance by like 1,000. That would be egregious.
Starting point is 00:32:10 That would be like national alarms going off. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's severe when there's three or four. Somebody added a zero and it's a story for months now, you know? Yeah, and it was, you know, in a recount and it got caught before anything. Sure.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Before it had any impact on anything. Totally. So anyway, these are kind of the big sort of election fraud narratives that they got. And both are just like, oh, here's the real story. I understand where your lies are coming from and the spin you're putting on, but it's just, it's flimsy as is this.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Ali has some things he wants to complain about the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in a 5-2 decision said it doesn't matter that there were no Republicans in some of these polling locations, it's fine. That is not true. Well, that sounds true. Here's what's going on here.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Trump's legal team had argued that their poll watchers in Pennsylvania were not allowed close enough access to voters, vote counters, excuse me, in the Philadelphia Convention Center. Because of many factors, perhaps most importantly, COVID-19 related social distancing, the poll watchers were kept behind a barrier approximately 15 to 18 feet away
Starting point is 00:33:22 from the first row of canvassers. So the workers would have a safe area to come and go as needed like they had to go to the bathroom or whatever. The Trump campaign argued that this was not appropriate and a lower judge reached a compromise where they could set the barrier at six feet. Then Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit claiming that the votes that were counted before the barrier
Starting point is 00:33:40 were moved were, they shouldn't count since the watchers didn't have appropriate access. The matter reached the Pennsylvania Supreme Court who ruled that the initial distance was appropriate for the requirements and the election code and to mandate that the distance was too great would be the state encroaching on the county's right to run its election through the Philadelphia County Board
Starting point is 00:33:58 of Elections. That does sound right. Yep. They vacated any previous order and denied the Trump campaign their request. Oh, that's fair. This is not what Ali is reporting. He's saying that the court decided that it was fine
Starting point is 00:34:10 that the Republicans had no poll watchers, which is not at all the issue that was before the court. He's lying about it because it sounds better for his side. Sounds way better. Yeah, because he's a liar. This same strategy has been employed by Trump's legal team, including noted weirdo Jenna Alice who said, quote, it's inexplicable that five justices
Starting point is 00:34:27 on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would conclude that watchers observing from distances of up to 100 feet away is reasonable. And then she pulled out her slide whistle and went, boop, no, downward. Oh, yeah. Okay. There is no evidence that this is the case at all.
Starting point is 00:34:42 In fact, the only reference to 100 feet in the court decision is, quote, the campaign contends that the board set up opposing a barrier and having some tables in the area over 100 feet away from the edge of the security fence effectively deprived its representative of the ability to be truly present and effectively eliminates the representative's ability
Starting point is 00:35:00 to perform his or her role of ensuring openness and transparency in the electoral process. That idea only exists as a thing that the Trump legal team claimed, but isn't substantiated. I like that the Trump legal team could just be like, yeah, we're claiming that 30 different drone bombs killed all the Republican in the United States. And nobody is talking about that.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Nobody's, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court isn't even going to certify that the election was stolen since all Republicans are dead now. Sure. If you look at the findings of the suit, you can find out what the maximum distance from a person the watchers would be. There was a 15 to 18 foot divide
Starting point is 00:35:37 between the watchers and the first row of tables. Then from the suit, quote, a designated area of the convention center was divided into discrete sections, each devoted to various aspects of the pre-canvassing and canvassing process. Each section contained three rows of folding tables, each table separated by five to six feet.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Even if you assume that each table takes up six feet on its own and you use the high end of 18 feet for the initial barrier, you still end up only with a distance of 54 feet from the barrier to the furthest table. But of course, also people could observe from different angles. Sure.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Anyway, my point here is that you can easily see how talking points get created out of this. For someone like Jenna Ellis, she can claim in a suit that people are 100 feet away. And then when the suit gets thrown out, she can claim that the court determined that people 100 feet away is totally fine. And that's not necessarily accurate.
Starting point is 00:36:28 No, they can make any claim they want. But this is how you can spin this case rightly being rejected. And that's for someone like Ally. You know, he doesn't have to worry about things like getting disbarred or anything. So he's free to just make up anything. Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 00:36:41 Which is what he's doing. Go for it. It's great. There's just no way, I'm a blown away that at no point in time do any of these courts just be like, we're holding you in contempt for this dumb argument. One time, hold them, it's pathetic.
Starting point is 00:37:00 It's pathetic. Well, I mean, it's- It's a shameful thing to be, I can't imagine being a judge reading one of these things and being like, my job is valuable. How could you possibly think that? I mean, you see how long it took to like disbar Larry Klayman though.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Or like get him suspended. They'll do anything to avoid telling each other that they're doing a bad job. Does seem that way. So there's a plan in Georgia. And it's not a fiddle contest, but Ally has this plan. He's gonna lay out.
Starting point is 00:37:29 He's one of these guys who really likes, I think he fancies himself a Bond villain. Sure. He really likes to lay out his plan. Okay. We're in Georgia. Tell folks about what we're doing the next four days on a row at high noon.
Starting point is 00:37:43 So at high noon at the Georgia State Capitol, Alex Jones, myself and other Patriots are here and we are marching and we are telling the Secretary of State, stop, don't certify. The chances of that happening are zero, but we might stop the deadline that happens 24 hours after that. And that's when Governor Brian Kemp,
Starting point is 00:38:01 who's been wobbly in his whole issue, then has to certify the election from his office. So- Whoa! That was less nefarious than some of the other times. But like he's being a little blunt. I kind of appreciate that. It's like there's no chance we're gonna achieve this goal.
Starting point is 00:38:17 We're gonna fail? But maybe we won't fail later. Even though it seems like planning to fail from the beginning would suggest that we are going to continue to fail. Listen, every day at noon, we're gonna be marching for something that is not gonna work. And then maybe after that, the governor will do some,
Starting point is 00:38:35 and by the way, Kemp did certify. Yeah, well, of course. That also had 0% chance of working. You fucking lARPing pieces of it. We're going to the high noon. High noon. Get the fuck out of here. Get a job.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Get a job. Guns blazing. Get a fucking job. He has a job. This is it. Yeah, well, get a different one. Well, he might have to because even Ali recognizes here that if Brian Kemp, if he certifies-
Starting point is 00:39:02 If even Brian Kemp isn't on our team. We might be fucked. We're fucked. When he signs a piece of paper certifying the election, it puts a Democrat slate of electors to the Electoral College. We cannot have this happen. If this happens, our remedies in court
Starting point is 00:39:17 then become next to nil. Well, that's where we are now. You've lost Georgia. Move along. Let's get Alex to Philadelphia or something. Let's get him in a fight with Grady. Yeah. These fucking guys.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah. I wonder what the next state will be. Alex went to Arizona. He went to Georgia. This isn't gonna work in Georgia. What's next? What's the next state? He's gonna do another one.
Starting point is 00:39:43 I don't know. With the weakness of all of these legal challenges, they're not going to get less desperate. Like these are already incredibly pathetic. What happens when all of these fail? They have to do something. They have to do something and it's going to be even more desperate than what it is now.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I think it's gotta be go to DC again or something. Yeah, it's gotta be something like that. Or maybe Lexington and Concord. Because you know how much they love the evolutionary war stuff. So maybe try and recreate that. Go down to Boston or something. I'm waiting for them to be like, okay, we're gonna head to South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:40:19 There's a couple forts around. Oh boy. And we will just see what happens. I got a crazy idea. Alex is gonna occupy the Alamo. I don't think that's a bad idea. This is my destiny. Leave him there.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Sir, we have a group of tourists coming through. We're gonna need you to leave. I'm part of the exhibit now. I am Colonel Travis. That would be great. That would be great. Late career change for Alex. Living museum display.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Like instead of going around with this Mark Twain show. Yeah. He's just like, I am Colonel Travis. Yeah, you could just drink. Ah, I like it. I think it'd be great. So now we get to Owen helming the show in studio. And he's sort of just given a little talk
Starting point is 00:41:03 over the footage and he gets surprised by a little someone he sees hanging out with Alex. And Alex Jones is right there on the screen. Bullhorning the state capital building in Atlanta, Georgia. I think that's Nick Fuentes to his left. Rob Dew there on screen is well-filming. Yeah, Nick Fuentes is hanging out with Alex in Georgia.
Starting point is 00:41:28 There's Alex Jones and a Nazi standing next to him. So I think we're doing great. Having a great time. I think we're doing great. Yep. So Owen is just throwing to this video as much as he can. Sure. The globalists have been caught red-handed engaged
Starting point is 00:41:47 in massive fraud. And the people know that the people will not accept this fraudulent election. And just like in other countries, we need a new election called in the disputed states. Wild. Stop the steal. Stop the steal.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Ah, yes, such a great constitutional plan. It's called for new elections in the states that your hero lost. This is really stupid. But for the first time in a long time, Alex makes sense. He's back to being in an opposition role to the rest of reality, which is where he belongs. It feels.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah. Yeah. They just know they want fascism. Well, they've kind of had to be blunt about it now. Yeah, they can't, like with the election results in Michigan, like, OK, OK, I get you. What if we just throw out all black votes? How about that?
Starting point is 00:42:44 Does that count? Would we still have an election there? Is that still good? But Alex seems right out on the street. Yeah. That's more what I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying? No, no, no, he's home.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah. He's home again. I compare things to wrestling a lot, but that's because there's a lot of similarity to the distorted reality that exists on Infowars and in the WWE. To get really basic with things, there are good guys and bad guys in wrestling.
Starting point is 00:43:10 The good guy is the face, the bad guy is the heel. The ultimate goal of a feud is to have the bad guy anger the audience, whether it be by cheating in matches or having a shitty personality or whatever, to the point where the audience wants to pay to see the face kick his ass. There are variations in some middle grounds, but this is the basic dynamic.
Starting point is 00:43:28 There are character types that only work as a heel or a face. And trying to make them work in an opposite alignment does not play. A cocky showboat who thinks they're too hot works as a heel, but not as a face. Because the things that they have to do to play their character are inherently annoying. The exception to this would be Shawn Michaels,
Starting point is 00:43:46 but he was a once-in-a-generation talent, and rules don't apply to people like him or Stone Cold or The Undertaker. I got you. It's fine. We can move on from that. Similarly, the scrappy, try-hard wrestler who refuses to quit does not work as a heel.
Starting point is 00:43:59 The audience watching a person take a horrible beating and still kicking out of pins makes them cheer for the underdog who won't give up. The giant they're fighting has thrown everything they have against them, and they just won't stay down. People love that shit, to the point where it's such a powerful thing that it was used to turn Stone Cold's face in his match
Starting point is 00:44:18 against Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13. Bret went into that match as the face, and the two had a brutal match that resulted in Bret getting Stone Cold into his submission hold, the sharpshooter. Stone Cold was bleeding profusely from the face, and he refused to tap out to the sharpshooter, with Bret ending up winning when Stone Cold passed out
Starting point is 00:44:36 in the hold. It left an iconic image, and that performance, where he refused to give in, made it impossible for crowds not to cheer for Stone Cold, and thus he had to be a face. Of course. Consider that previous to this, his gimmick had been that he was a homicidal redneck that was inspired
Starting point is 00:44:51 by the emotionless serial killer Richard Kuklinski, aka the Iceman. Who among us has not turned face after being like I look zero kills? Less than a year prior, he'd broken his former tag team partner, Bryan Pillman's ankle, and then was trying to invade his home to continue attacking him, which led to Pillman pulling out a gun on television
Starting point is 00:45:12 to protect himself, which was super fucked up and really scared people at the time because, well, the feed cut out right as Pillman was pulling his gun. Well, that's not good. No, it's Stone Cold was rushing into the house. That's not good. Anyway, the point here is that there are characterizations that only work in certain contexts,
Starting point is 00:45:29 and Alex Jones only works outside any connection to power. Everything becomes incoherent once he's trying to make excuses for the president who he supports, but everything is still a conspiracy, just a conspiracy that doesn't involve the president and everyone who blindly supports said president. It's nonsensical, like trying to boo a wrestler who has too much heart to give up.
Starting point is 00:45:48 You just, it doesn't make sense. This, I think, more than anything else has made me feel substantially better since the election, and I wanted to take a moment to address that levity that we probably have on the last couple episodes. It would be easy to get the impression that I don't think that Alex is a serious problem anymore, or that I feel like the work is done
Starting point is 00:46:06 now that Trump is out of office, and I wanna make sure no one- Strongly disagree. I wanna make sure no one thinks that that's where I'm coming from. It's my job to watch Alex Jones and critique him, and for a long time, he's not made actual sense from the standpoint of what his character
Starting point is 00:46:19 is supposed to be, which is infuriating. He's supposed to be the only person who can see through the elaborate communist plot to take over the country, but he's apparently also supposed to be the guy that has the president's ear, but he's also the guy who's mad that the president isn't doing everything he says.
Starting point is 00:46:33 It's convoluted. The truth teller persona needs to be someone who is ignored, or is listened to by people who are perennial losers, like Ron Paul. If you don't do it that way, too many unanswerable questions come up that penetrate the facade. I'm grateful to be able to study Alex Jones
Starting point is 00:46:51 during this period where his persona was completely out of sync with the reality he's trying to present, but I'm also incredibly relieved to re-enter a world where he's back where he belongs. Time will tell if he's able to pull off the transition back to that place where he gets to yell on the street and everyone, you know, chants and stuff. Time will tell, but if he can,
Starting point is 00:47:11 I have a hunch that there's a lot of money to be made off semi-red-pilled folks who find themselves unsatisfied by Fox News, but think QAnon's insane. Yeah. I think that Alex could have a pretty fucking profitable time if he's able to thread the needle back. I can't believe that we're positioned in a place
Starting point is 00:47:29 where it seems like all of these right-wing people are just gonna slide back into their positions, but we're gonna have a higher tolerance for it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it could be a situation where some people are gonna come out of this more sanitized to normal reality. People like Mitt Romney, Barco Rubio might come off
Starting point is 00:47:48 with a sort of a sheen of sensibility because they're not saying Trump should say he's the winner or whatever. And then other people might, I think that there's gonna be a drastic reorganization in terms of like media folk. I think that's so much radicalization and so much nonsense has happened in the last four years
Starting point is 00:48:17 that I don't think most people are gonna be satisfied by Fox News. The audience that they have catered to, I think might have progressed past the point of what they're able to create. Yeah, they radicalize them beyond a point where they can control or satisfy them. It feels like that's a real possibility
Starting point is 00:48:36 and that could be an amazingly huge market for people like Alex if they're able, like I said, if they're able to thread the needle. And I think he wants to, I think he would love to because he loves money. And he also seems to be having just a blast. Listen to this, this is Alex like, you know, I don't remember how free Willy ends,
Starting point is 00:48:58 but I imagine that it ends with that whale getting to swim in the ocean free. I think he jumps over the kid too. Yes. It's very majestic. And it's really moving to see him like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is kind of like Alex as free Willy.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Okay. This is just the way it ends. And on it's salute and committer by the show number today. It's gonna get bigger and bigger as papers are on the country. See this? And I know it's setting beyond nearly 10,000 people,
Starting point is 00:49:26 but I know that all the million's watching. We love you and we appreciate you and we'll never give up on America for this new old order takeover. Yeah! He just gets to say nothing. Yeah, that's great. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:49:40 That's great. He never gets to hear cheers whenever he's on the show. No, and he could just yell catchphrases and people get excited. Yeah. And I want to salute all of you that came out here today. You are just the beginning of the Second America War.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! You are pioneers in the next wave of the Republic. Yeah! Alex Jones has been right about everything! Come on, Allie.
Starting point is 00:50:13 You don't need a job right now. All right, we don't even need to. Look, look, look, look. Even Alex doesn't want to hear that. 99% of the time, yes. He says it. You don't tell him that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah, Alex could just yell these catchphrases. People get really excited. And then when he runs out of breath, he'll have someone like Allie there to tag team the mic with him. It's great. It's perfect. That's Alex swimming free in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Yeah. It's a little, you know, I can understand that. It's a little bit the difference now between like doing an online comedy show for people watching a screen versus going and doing a live stand-up set. You're not going to get those same laughs, man. You go out there and do it live.
Starting point is 00:50:51 That's the juice. That's the way it feels good. Yeah, perhaps, perhaps. So Nick Fuentes is there. That's the downside of doing it. That is a huge problem for me. Yeah, downside of doing live comedy is you might get booked on a show with Nick Fuentes.
Starting point is 00:51:02 That's true. And so he's there. And he seems like this, this dude's scary as hell because I can kind of see what his program is right now. And that is, so earlier he did his thing where he brought like his, his griper movement. Sure. And they started trying to embarrass Charlie Kirk
Starting point is 00:51:19 right in turning point USA at all these live events. I mean, I don't know. I feel like they won. Yeah. It seems like they pretty much beat the shit out of turning point USA. Yeah. I don't know how, how effective turning point USA is.
Starting point is 00:51:35 And also another point, a point of that is also that like Charlie Kirk is getting older and his whole appeal as a college ambassador. Sure. Is maybe a little bit less sensible at this point. But whatever the case, I do think that, you know, he set his sights on them and whether he's responsible for them having a waning influence.
Starting point is 00:51:57 He's now, I think, moving on to the, the GOP. Sure. I think that there's a target on like the actual Republican party. Yeah. And I know that a lot of people, their mentality would be like, let them fight. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:52:12 But also, I think if you let them fight, you run the risk of like, okay, well, any gains made by people like Nick makes this even more Nazi-ish party. Anyway, he's not happy about the GOP. The Republican party has failed us. We know there was a fraud. We saw it on election day.
Starting point is 00:52:35 There is no question about it. And since election day, we have heard from our Republican representatives absolutely nothing. Nikki Haley has said nothing. Dan Kledstra has said nothing. Marco Rubio, in fact, supports Biden stealing this election. So what you have here is more or less them getting ready for Biden to win the election.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Right. And then their focus will turn to inter-GOP conflict. Right. This is sort of the model of the tea party, you know, with the fringe inside taking over the party. Yeah. Seems like they're just doing it again, but the figures that are doing it are even more extreme.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yeah. And great. I look forward to that because this cycle doesn't seem to just repeat itself and get worse as it goes along. No, it's a testament, I think, to the true level of contempt that the GOP party operatives have towards their voters is just like, we're going to lie to them, you know, essentially take them captive to our bullshit,
Starting point is 00:53:46 and then we'll be able to control them forever. And then we'll leave them sitting ducks to demagogues like these assholes. And then all of a sudden, you lose control when the mob comes after you and you're like, no, we don't even need to worry about them. The mob is just so stupid though. You know, Nick Fuentes is going to remain on the fringe.
Starting point is 00:54:04 He's never going to come in here. And in 20 years, you know, Supreme Leader Nick Fuentes is going to be great for us. So I'm worried about Nick Fuentes in the sense that like, this guy's a real shithead and he's young and clearly... His box has fewer air holes in it than Alex's. And Alex got rid of all of his plans, you know, that's what makes him worrying to me.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Though I will say that sometimes he has ideas that just don't make any sense. We won't stop, we won't stop. And if we don't get him, the trucker strike that is coming up this month is only the beginning. I'm not sure if Nick understands his political alignment very well,
Starting point is 00:54:51 but he should realize that it makes absolutely no sense for him to be calling for a strike of anything. He's either a paleo-conservative or a libertarian, depending on when he's answering the question. And both of these political philosophies are super anti-union and super anti-strikes. We want Trump, we hate unions, and we want every trucker in United 541
Starting point is 00:55:12 to stand with us and strike against their horrible oppressors. Typically libertarians view unions as an extortion racket, trying to get in the way of the freedom of an employer and an employee freely agreeing to terms of trading money for labor. They would likely support a worker's right to withhold their labor if the terms were unfair, but they would definitely, and I mean definitely,
Starting point is 00:55:34 be way more passionate about supporting a business's right to replace that worker with someone who would accept unfair terms. That's what freedom is about after all, according to libertarians. We are together recognizing that in the face of an overwhelming government entity, the only method of fighting back we have
Starting point is 00:55:53 is to unite together and all of us utilize our power to neutralize their power, and that's what we call libertarianism. Great, yeah. I don't see any possible way for Nick Fuentes to coherently call for a trucker strike in order to force Trump into office. If the truckers were to strike
Starting point is 00:56:12 over their disapproval about an election, Nick's political belief set should require that he support the trucking companies bringing in scabs to do the work these truckers refuse to do. It doesn't matter because this isn't a statement that's meant to make political sense, nor is it even something he can pretend would be effective. This is a line he's throwing out in hopes of incitement.
Starting point is 00:56:32 He's trying to pump up the crowd and planting images in their head of their side, throwing the country into chaos with truckers refusing to work unless Trump is installed as president, is exciting, it's exciting for them. I mean, that's the classic fucking takeover playbook, though, is to utilize all the power of the stuff that you hate
Starting point is 00:56:51 to get yourself into power, and then close the door behind you as fast as you possibly can, so other people can't unionize. Sure. Like, that's how you do it. Yeah. That's the game, man.
Starting point is 00:57:01 So they're out there, and it's fun enough, but there's also lulls, and when there are lulls, Owen's gotta talk, and... Oh, that's not good. Here he says something very unsurprising. Looking at the crowd here as they begin to march into the building, people who were on the caravan with me last week
Starting point is 00:57:18 who are still part of this. So Americans are ready to go. They are not gonna let this election be stolen from them. There are people you recognize from the caravan because you were in Atlanta. I don't understand. No, they were in the cars the whole way. No.
Starting point is 00:57:36 The people who are info warrior types in Atlanta are very likely to come to both of these events. Oh, I don't know if they have that kind of scheduling. No, freedom. I'm certain most of them are unemployed. That's not fair. So Owen gets talking about this dominion conspiracy. Oh, that's great.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Yeah. Love me a good dominion conspiracy. Man, he believes just the dumbest version of this. There's no record. It can all be done off location. It can all be done remotely. It's all been proven. That's why they run with these systems.
Starting point is 00:58:09 That's why they tested it with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. And then when it worked to steal elections for the communists in Venezuela, it went nationwide. You don't think that had something to do with- You know, it's so historic. Nevermind, sorry. So for the record, Hugo Chavez died in 2013 and won his last election in 2012.
Starting point is 00:58:31 So I guess the theory here is that this company stole the 2012 Venezuela election as a test run. And eight years later, paid it all off with the US election. This naturally raises the question of why the globalists didn't just use it in 2016, but we're playing with conspiracies. So let's not bring real questions into it.
Starting point is 00:58:47 They weren't ready yet. Chavez had just died in 2013. They weren't sure if it was gonna work out. It's three years prior. It's a mourning period. Have you not read about international and intergalactic contract law? So the conspiracy that Owen is spinning
Starting point is 00:59:01 is made out of combining details about two different companies and then insisting you've proven something suspicious. The two companies that issue are Dominion and Smartmatic. Part of the way this conspiracy is presented is to claim that these are the same company or that Dominion owns Smartmatic, but that's not the case.
Starting point is 00:59:17 They are unrelated. Smartmatic is a company that's provided election technology in Venezuela, but they actually have a history of calling out voting problems like they did in August, 2017, when they found that the results of the constituent assembly election had been altered,
Starting point is 00:59:32 which they knew because their system is tamper evident and set to quote self-report any attempt to interfere with it. Dominion has nothing to do with Venezuela, so the ability to connect Venezuela with Dominion relies on connecting these two companies, which are not connected and are actually competitors. It's important to remember here
Starting point is 00:59:49 that the game that these people are engaging in is not to make a coherent point. Their goal is to create a perception where they're right and everyone's out to get them. In this case, the connection to Hugo Chavez is really telling because it's not about a connection that's real, it's about tying this whole thing to a right-wing boogeyman.
Starting point is 01:00:06 The anti-communist right-wing view Hugo Chavez is one of the world's greatest evils, so involving him in this conspiracy is essentially, I don't know, fan service for weird right-wingers. I'm surprised they haven't just picked a bunch of the different left-wing governments America's tried to topple over the years. Why not?
Starting point is 01:00:24 Well, no, no, no, no, because Hugo Chavez is high-profile. Oh, that's true. And he's a figure that most like Fox News Watchers would be familiar with as a heel. Sure, as a boogeyman, yeah, as a heel, if you will. Yeah, so it's almost the perfect person to use as almost like a signifier.
Starting point is 01:00:44 And he's dead, so it's not like he's gonna come at ya. Sure, I don't know how he would sue anyway, but. I don't think he was interested in suing Dan. So in this next clip, this is where I just kind of lost my patience with Owen. We're gonna pick up the live stream from the Capitol again in about a half an hour. I've got other news I'm gonna get to
Starting point is 01:01:05 as well as video reports in the meantime. Boy, I mean, it's just so, do I go down the fake pandemic and everything they're doing with the torture, psychological torture? I'm speaking as a producer here. Info Wars is currently in a no-win situation. You basically have two main event players
Starting point is 01:01:26 in the entire company with Alex and Owen. Owen sucks and all that, but compared to the rest of these zeros, he's basically Dominique Wilkins, which I say because Alex is in Atlanta. Nice. There are two roles that currently need to be filled. One is in studio and one is remote. And because there are only two people
Starting point is 01:01:42 who can reasonably fill those roles, they have to do those jobs. With two roles and two people, there are only two possibilities of how to organize things and they're both trash in terms of presentation. One option is having Alex in studio and Owen on the road. This is good because Alex is much, much better as a broadcaster and he knows how to move the products.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And he can say nothing passionately for an hour. The downside, however, is that Owen is not a draw. So you end up with really lackluster, disappointing remote events. Even on his best day, Owen can't get a crowd revved up like Alex. Alex is old school on a bullhorn and Owen is just a pretender.
Starting point is 01:02:19 The other option is what we have here, where Owen is in studio and Alex is on the road. The upshot here is that you probably get more compelling video from the road because Alex is probably drunk and he knows how to get people pumped up. More people are also going to show up naturally if Alex Jones is somewhere compared
Starting point is 01:02:35 to if Owen Schreuer is there. He has a sideshow. Yeah, so if the goal is optics of large crowds, you really need Alex there. Yeah, at the same time, you run into problems with the show itself because Owen's just not that good as a host. It's so goddamn boring
Starting point is 01:02:50 and I can't imagine he's moving any pills. He says something like, we'll get back to the feeds of Alex and Ali in half an hour and all I can think is, well, here comes a shitty half hour. This is a substitute teacher showing a movie, you know? And the movie is Alex yelling into a bullhorn and sometimes that movie stops. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:09 And you're like, what do we do now? Let's play heads up, seven up. No, let's listen to Owen talk for half an hour. No, fuck that noise. It's a tough situation if you're in charge at Inforz and you have to figure out how to assign roles, but if it were me, I would never have Alex out of studio. He may draw a bigger crowd,
Starting point is 01:03:27 but there are gonna be a ton of people in Atlanta no matter what and Owen isn't as exciting as Alex but combined with Ali Alexander and Nick Fuentes, it might end up not being as poorly attended as the caravan. You need Alex in studio for multiple reasons. The first is that he's the only person exciting enough to make this dumb show watchable
Starting point is 01:03:46 and thus make people more likely to buy the pills. There's a financial reality that Alex is better for business as the host. Then on top of that, the whole point of Inforz right now is that shit is super dangerous. And Tifa and Black Lives Matter are trying to kill all the conservatives. Remember a few months ago, Alex said that China and MS-13
Starting point is 01:04:05 had teamed up with the Democrats to take out conservative talk show hosts? Legitimately? No. He did. In hindsight, that narrative makes a lot more sense if we imagine that Alex is just an out of control stimulant addict.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Yeah, that would make sense. Anyway, I would advise Inforz to lean into this whole thing and make the studio feel like Alex's bunker. The whole point of his career is supposed to be that he's the oracle, the only person in the world who can see directly through the globalist plans. The literal devil has been trying to enlist him since he was a child because the devil knew
Starting point is 01:04:34 that Alex was special and he was a psychic. If you expect me to believe any of that, you have to protect that person at all costs. The psychic who's the only person who knows what the globalists are gonna do before they do it is way too valuable to have out on the street yelling into a bullhorn with a couple of young enterprising bigots.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah, that's not the best military tactics I would suggest. No, no, no! I would say. Now that Inforz has become something so comical and hyper important, it's time for them to get right with the script. Alex is supposed to be this all important guru so he needs to start acting like it.
Starting point is 01:05:05 The studio's already established as having guns everywhere and being super well protected so Alex should only be making appearances from there. Owen is the young gun, the warrior in the fold. So he needs to be Alex's proxy on the streets, willing to risk it all because he knows that his muscles and physical form are all that he has to give to the Info War.
Starting point is 01:05:23 That's true. I'm gonna move on now because I'm getting lost in flights of fancy about the ideal direction for Inforz to go in the future and again, as we touched on at the beginning of the show, we keep coming up with better ideas for them and then they just don't do it. I've got you beat by a mile.
Starting point is 01:05:37 No, no, can I tell you one of my other things before you do? Sure, sure, go for it. So they like to try and present Harrison Smith as like the smart research guy. Sure. So I just had this image of him like every single fucking time you're on camera, you'd be peeking out from behind a comically large book.
Starting point is 01:05:52 With glasses all the way on the tip of your nose. Yes, and we're a fucking robe. Yeah, totally, totally. What are we doing here? Like, why not? You could bring Joe Biggs back in and have him always have grease on him somewhere because he's like a mechanic type or something.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Yeah, look like a monk. He's a monk in there. He's got the, yeah, yeah, totally. Joe Biggs has been fixing cars. Yeah, always, always been fixing cars. Turn this into an episode of Taxi. That's what I want. Danny DeVito should be hired by Infowars.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Why not? At this point, just fucking, like nothing that they say is real. So why not make all the characters actual fun characters? Yeah, that'd be fun. Christopher Lloyd could be involved. He's still alive. Alex, I know you're listening.
Starting point is 01:06:35 I don't think you're listening, but if you're listening, I will quit doing this show in order to produce the next season of Infowars. I've got you beat by a mile, Dan, and it's totally- I'll bring you in as a co-executive producer. It's easy.
Starting point is 01:06:48 It's easy. How can Alex be in both places at once, you ask yourself, why are you wasting money on a fucking tank when you could have a hologram? Yeah, that's interesting. Harrison Smith comes with you, puts the little hologram Alex on the floor.
Starting point is 01:07:08 He's got a fake bullhorn. He does the whole thing remotely. Maybe he does a little moonwalk. I assume that they're gonna mix the Michael Jackson hologram with his to look a little bit better. With a record, you'd still need a recording though. That's true. Alex's time would still be strained that way.
Starting point is 01:07:24 He could sing Beat It for a while. Yeah, he certainly could. Beat it. No one wants to beat a feed it. Show him how funky, fat, the job- Put him in the, give him a hologram saxophone, just beat it, do-do-do. I could see it.
Starting point is 01:07:41 So, yeah, I just think that there's intrinsic problems with people in the roles that they're in. Like they can do specific things to a certain level of competence. And unfortunately, Alex can do multiple things, but the other people he has can't. Right. And the only way to really like,
Starting point is 01:08:02 to maximize everybody's skill sets is to have them all start playing characters. And in order for this to feel right, Alex can never be out of studio. I know that he wants to be, and it is like I said, his free willy natural environment to be out there yelling into a bullhorn. But that's not his place anymore.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Right, right, right. I mean, it is a little bit though that none of them really understand who they are because they all think that they're way better than who they are. They all think that they're full reviewer or some shit. Everyone who works at InfoWars is Lance Stevenson. They think that they're fucking Kevin Durant.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Okay. But you're still Lance Stevenson, okay? You're gonna blow in LeBron's ear. That's your job. That's all you've got. You're not gonna score 20 a night. It's just not gonna happen, man. It's...
Starting point is 01:08:51 You're a dick. It's... Play your role. It would be better, I think for everybody, if they did play their roles. Totally. And God, it would just be more funny for me too. It'd be great.
Starting point is 01:09:06 If everybody, but then that goes back to everybody would have to have a base level of competence that just simply doesn't exist. But they could. And we can't wheel it into existence. No, no, no. But they could if they focused. Okay, then everybody requires a base level of focus
Starting point is 01:09:22 that does not exist. The reason that Owen probably hasn't gotten better at going out and doing these road things. Sure. Because he also has to do the war room. Right. He has to do this. He has to wear these multiple hats.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Obviously, if he spent all his time focusing on, like, all right, how do we manipulate crowds to the best of our ability? Sure. What are the ways that shots work best in field pieces? Right. If he really studied his craft and really tried to hone that,
Starting point is 01:09:50 he could be an amazing tool for Alex to use while Alex is the guru in studio. Yeah. Doing what he does best. Right. If he had other employees that he had just work in specific areas to be like, you are the person that I need to cover tech shit.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Sure. Because I don't understand tech stuff. Right. Harrison Smith, you have glasses. You look like a dweeb. We need you for that. Step into it. It's kind of what Alex tried to do with Mike Adams.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Whenever there's a health story, we got the health ranger that can be the reliable voice on that front. Sure, sure, sure. He needs that. He needs the people who fit the tool or who are the tools for the jobs that need to be done. Yeah, but that would require Alex to have
Starting point is 01:10:35 any interest in in-house talent development, which it seems he has strenuously avoided. Well, yeah, because I think he's trying to go for these cheap pops. Yeah, and no one is. With someone like Ali Alexander or Nick Fuentes. It's like, all right, you're trying to capitalize on whatever audience they already have.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Exactly. But they're also using you. And it's not going to work out in any kind of long run. Yeah, it's a bad strategy. And I hate to keep giving him advice, but yeah, you need to develop some talent. And it's too late, probably. Has anybody he's had on camera in our entire time period
Starting point is 01:11:13 improved? Do you know what I'm saying? Like in terms of? I think Owen has some, but that's because he was super green at the beginning. I mean, other than a more increased, I suppose, professionalism as opposed to being like, although at the same time, he was like, fuck it.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Hammer and sickle and all that shit. I'm not saying he's good. No, he's not good. But I mean, okay, maybe Millie Weaver, but that's also just because the first time we saw her, she was rainbow snatch. That's true. And that stopped.
Starting point is 01:11:40 It's hard to come back from that. Yeah, no, I don't think that there's a lot of proficiency and skill development going on at Info Wars. But here's what I would say is one of the main problems. It's such a singular Alex Jones focused world that you have people like Owen trying to host the show and he's clearly trying to be Alex. Totally.
Starting point is 01:12:05 I feel that, oh my gosh, you've got Democrats, you know, I'm gonna try not to yell and scream and get frustrated today. It's just Democrats are the most disingenuous scum I've ever seen in my life. And it's just so sick. That's just a bad Alex impression. No kidding.
Starting point is 01:12:27 One of his fake breakdowns with long pauses for dramatic effect. He's just doing the exact same thing that Alex does, but it comes so false. Yeah, it's way less believable. Yeah. He's a bad actor. No, he needs to find his own lane, his own voice.
Starting point is 01:12:41 He's like a comic doing someone else's delivery. Yeah. Basically. It's tragic. Because you have stuff like that and that just falls fucking flat. Yeah, that's good. And then it goes to commercial and Alex is back
Starting point is 01:12:55 and he's doing shit like this and you're like, holy shit, you're running circles around people. Who do you think's up in that blimp? I'll tell you, it's been sitting over us for like 30 minutes. Brian Stelter, dumpy, dumpy, is up there surveilling us in that. And listen, I'm not saying he's a child molester.
Starting point is 01:13:14 I'm just saying I wouldn't want to be my kids and he looks like a child molester. What are you going to do? What is this? Aon Flux? Everybody's floating in fucking dirigibles above us watching everything. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:13:25 Oh, when he's in studio doing a bad Alex impression, then you cut to Alex in the field. He's accusing Brian Stelter of stalking him by blimp. Disingenuous, Democrats are just the most disingenuous people. I think God is in a blimp shitting on all of us right now. I mean, what do you do with this? Like, it is like watching Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 01:13:46 He's just too good. He's just too good. Oh, and just fucking sit down. Sit down. You're not your Horace Grant. You're not even Scotty. But there's a fuck out of you. There's a part of me that kind of like, I mean,
Starting point is 01:13:58 Alex is wrong and he's a monster. But there is a part of me that like, if he's frustrated with his staff, I get it. They're not good. No, he can do all of these things better than them. And I guess he should be able to do 26 years into this career. I mean, Owen started at Info Wars in 2016. So like, you know, it makes sense that he would be better.
Starting point is 01:14:20 But it's embarrassing. The level is better. It is. And he's doing a really bad job of fostering and sort of mentoring them in terms of whatever skills they have not being emphasized. If only illustrated by the fact that Owen's just doing it, Alex impression.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like it's like Trump and his whole administration and shit. It's like, I just, you bear the responsibility for hiring shitty people. You do. That's part of your job. Yeah, that's the administrative responsibility.
Starting point is 01:14:55 And if they're shitty, you bear responsibility for not improving them or even seemingly attempting to. Yeah, that's why there's performance reviews and a lot of normal work environments. Yeah. So, yeah, this is all Alex's fault. Oh, sure. I mean, the buck stops there.
Starting point is 01:15:09 But just in terms of pretending this is a chaotic environment where it's just perform. Alex is just running circles. It's just it's almost outrageous watching this episode the difference that you see. It's like, I want to give a round of applause that he thinks Brian Stelter is stalking him in a balloon. That is really great.
Starting point is 01:15:36 That's hilarious. That's really great. That's really funny. Not as good as a Dalek with a gun, but it's still good. It's still good. Yeah, I do like the image, though. Because I see Brian Stelter's got binoculars.
Starting point is 01:15:47 I see like the Hindenburg level where it's a giant blip and he's down and he's fucking he's got a ship's captain like vibe to him doing that whole thing, looking out the window, just leaning down, just be like that motherfucker again. He's bought the hat that Alex wore on Halloween years back. He's wearing it. He's playing Flight of the Valkyries while.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Yeah, with one of those a sextant. I don't know. Well, as we all know, Brian Stelter only navigates by stars. Yes. So I mean, like Alex is coming in with this like just dunking on Owen like Brian Stelter stalking me. And then like he's so good at this that he's even doing commercials from the road.
Starting point is 01:16:35 He's doing commercials from God damn it. Right outside Atlanta is the Georgia Guidestones, ladies and gentlemen. So we're here covering all this, trying to stop the steal, educating people about what's really happening. And the only way I could bring a security team with anti-fun Black Lives Matter threat here, and they're strong here.
Starting point is 01:16:51 The only way we could be here to cover all this and to seriously focus on what's happening is your financial support. So I want to thank you all for going to infowarstore.com, getting great t-shirts, books, films, water filtration, and then all the great supplements. These are the highest quality, highest in supplements. When I forget to take them, I really
Starting point is 01:17:06 feel it, I'm sorry, that burns the candle at both ends. And without DNA Force Plus. So yeah, he just goes into a net. I mean, it's remarkable. He even recognizes that probably Owen's not doing a good enough job of pushing the product, selling things to keep things afloat. So he knows that it's his job to not only go out there
Starting point is 01:17:25 to draw a crowd, to make the optics that they need to push this argument that the people are demanding Georgia flip, but he also needs to get on air and add pivot to try and sell pills. It's, I mean, the weight of the info war is squarely on his shoulders. Yeah, I really don't understand how. See, that's the other thing that I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:17:49 How is Owen not self-embracing? Like, do you think he watches clips of his own show? Like when I was doing stand-up, you know, I would listen to my sets over and over. I would watch myself do sets and I would critique my performance. You know he doesn't do any of that shit. But like, what's the incentive to exactly? I just, I mean, what's the good?
Starting point is 01:18:11 Be good at your job. I feel like that's a good incentive. I feel like Owen could probably make a pretty decent argument that he's as good as he needs to be. He has a show on info war. Sure. It's basically the top of the like commercial conspiracy bullshit world.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Like in terms of that media, sure, it's a job. Yeah. You're on info wars with Alex Jones. Yeah, but that's like somebody saying like, oh man, I have always dreamt of playing AAA ball and I made it and now I'm done. Like, don't you wanna, don't you wanna get to the show? Man, come on.
Starting point is 01:18:50 But the dark reality is for him, this is the show. Yeah, that's true. Ooh, that is a dark reality. Yeah. Cause like for us, we're looking at it. It's like, oh, you could work for a real outlet. That would be like the equivalent of going to the majors. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:03 But that's not the way he looks at it. That's true. That's not the way the people in this year look at it. The only place to go up would maybe be Breitbart and that's probably not even. No. Like you could work for Drudge, but Drudge is out of pocket now.
Starting point is 01:19:17 No, Drudge. So you can't do that. Drudge isn't a home for you. OAN maybe, but that's kind of a lateral move. And they don't want you. Probably not. Their hosts are boring, but in a different way. They might want Owen, but not Alex.
Starting point is 01:19:28 That's definitely true. Well, you could work for Rebel Media, but then again, that's another lateral move. Sure. He's about at the top of the mountain. That's sad. That is really sad. But Owen's peaked.
Starting point is 01:19:38 That's really, really, really sad. I'm bummed. Yeah. I'm bummed. I can't wait to have him pump my gas someday. And to your question about like, why doesn't Owen get better? One of the issues is whatever you accept becomes acceptable.
Starting point is 01:19:53 And if you can get away with just doing this, why not always do this? Oh man. I still sometimes like wake up in the middle of the night and I'm thinking about bits that I've done and been like, how can I improve those? I'm probably never going to do stand up again. There are stories all across the nation,
Starting point is 01:20:14 including where I found this story today. I was doing a deep dive into this, where the headline is from a black lady, Goodwill and Blasseter, who hates white people with the headline, should white boys still be allowed to talk? That's in the Dixon, Dixon, Dixonian at Dixon College in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:20:31 You're allowed to be racist against white people. Deep dive, Owen did on this. Did he read it, Dan? Well, there's a couple of important points I need to make. Okay. First, this essay that Owen found today on this show, he's complaining about, it was published in February 2019
Starting point is 01:20:48 by the student newspaper at Dickinson College, a school with an enrollment just over 2,400. It was written by a guest writer and it's obviously making a point that conversation in classes in the writer's experience are dominated by white male voices. Sure. From the essay, quote,
Starting point is 01:21:04 in my time at Dickinson, I've listened to probably hundreds of white boys talk. It feels incessant. From classes and lectures to the news and politics, there's an endless line of white boys waiting to share their opinions on the state of feminism in America, whether the LGBTQ plus population finally has enough rights,
Starting point is 01:21:21 the merits of capitalism, et cetera. The list of what white boys think they're qualified to talk about is endless. Something very few of them seem to understand is that their ill-informed, uncritical opinions do not constitute truth. It's kind of funny, actually, because the essay itself explains why Owen
Starting point is 01:21:37 being offended by this essay is nonsense. It's exactly why he is, yeah. Quote, the second thing most white boys seem not to understand is that they do not exist separate from the rest of the world. You do not speak alone. You speak with the weight of every other white man who has spoken over a woman,
Starting point is 01:21:52 erased the contributions of queer people from history, or denigrated broken English as unintelligent. No, no, no, when a black person does something, all black people are responsible for it. But as we all know, a white person is an individual and cannot be held against. You speak with the weight of policies and laws meant to forever define intelligence
Starting point is 01:22:10 by how it measures up to the bros of America. As is made clear in the final paragraph of this essay, this is about Black History Month and how the writer doesn't approve of overvaluing white opinions, particularly when it's to the exclusion of other quote, buried or ignored voices. Speaking as a white boy,
Starting point is 01:22:28 I don't take any offense at this perspective. The style of writing seems to be very intentionally to be confrontational because it's an opinion piece about how her perspective and voice were being relegated as being less important than others. So rhetorically, it works for the writing to be kind of brusque. It's stylistically sensible.
Starting point is 01:22:45 Now, as somebody with a partner who teaches high school, believe me, white boys talk too much. And I don't think, like, obviously this isn't this person making the argument that white people should never be able to talk. It's a perspective of all this conversation on campus seems so much about issues that are unrelated to their experience.
Starting point is 01:23:09 White males seem to take priority in precedence. Now, the other thing I would say is that the headline of this is, should white boys be allowed to talk? And I know from my time when I used to write for my campus paper, generally editors write the headlines. This person who wrote this article probably didn't write that headline. And she's being lambasted for the headline.
Starting point is 01:23:36 The headline is more extreme than the actual article is. And if you're an editor trying to get more- Exactly. Than you would make an extreme headline so people would grab their attention. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. It's a willful misunderstanding of the point
Starting point is 01:23:54 that was being made in this student newspaper. And the right-wing media did a cycle with this back in 2019. They already did this. That's a yearly thing. And now, it's like Christmas season. It's 21 months ago. It wasn't last year. Who said it was an annual thing?
Starting point is 01:24:09 I said it was a yearly thing. It speaks volumes that Owen Schreuer decided to spend time on the show complaining about this college newspaper opinion piece from over a year and a half ago because he wants to whine about how bad it is and tough. It's tough to be white. I just- It's just very sad.
Starting point is 01:24:25 I just want to throw things. It's very, it's remarkable that length needs to be gone to. Yeah. I would argue that the person who is furious about an op-ed piece in a student newspaper that is thousands of miles away from him is the saddest person. Very sad.
Starting point is 01:24:49 Now, we go back to Alex out there, bullhorning. He's chanting. He's getting some chants going. Sure. There's some stop the steal chants. Are we going to do any locker ups? I feel like locker up never goes outside. No, I don't think there's any locker ups that I heard,
Starting point is 01:25:01 but there's definitely some U.S.A.'s. Okay. Quite a few of them. Great. And then we get another surprise guest appearance. Let's go back to the state capital in Atlanta. He's outside now with a big crowd, bullhorning. Special session now, special session now, special session now.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Special session now, special session now, special session now. Special session now, special session now, special session now. Hey, Enrique, good job being here, brother. Appreciate you, man. Enrique Tario enters the picture. So, Enrique Tario and the crowd boys have shown up with Alex and Nick Fuentes. Yeah, they're turning this into a real fucked up place.
Starting point is 01:25:45 It's the Washington generals of conservative propagandists. Yeah. But so Alex is out there. He's got this special session now chant going. And I've been pretty, you know, you know, effusive in my praise for Alex out on the street and his ability to rile up a crowd. But here is the point where I have to point out
Starting point is 01:26:06 that he is only human and he cannot get any chant going that he wants to. Because things fizzle out a little bit and Owen goes back to him and there's a little bit of a different picture. Let's go back live now, Alex Jones on the P.A. Joe Madden is a communist Chinese agent. Joe Madden is a communist Chinese agent.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Damn. Joe Madden is a communist Chinese agent. This is not a joke. America is in grave danger. Do you think he was trying to start? That is a chance? I think he was. Man, that's a long thing to chant.
Starting point is 01:26:43 Well, yeah. With a bad meter? Yeah. It's not good. No, it's not, but I think he was. I think he was trying to get it going. That's bad. And also you can just hear like there's just,
Starting point is 01:26:53 it's flattened. There isn't wooing anymore. It's, the rally is over. Yeah, those things have a time limit. It's true. Yeah. People can only yell so much. You can only chant for so long.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Sure. So Owen wants to make an analogy here. He's sitting, he's talking about these globalists, right? They're like bullies, steal your lunch money. All right. But they don't want you to talk about how they're bullying them because then people might bully them. Their analogies are spectacular.
Starting point is 01:27:19 This analogy stinks. I try to make analogies here. Try. You try. So people can understand. Cause I don't know if people can understand what I'm saying half the time. It's like, is it just in my head this makes sense?
Starting point is 01:27:33 Or is this translating on air? If you're in the high school lunch room and there's a guy going around stealing everybody's lunch money. Everybody's like, where's all my lunch money going? This is weird. And then you're like, hey, Steve over there has been going around stealing everybody's lunch money. I got to pause it real quick because I didn't realize
Starting point is 01:28:05 the first time I listened through this, that he's imagining a scenario where this guy is stealthily stealing everyone's money as opposed to. It's a pickpocket. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a high school pickpocket bully. Yeah, it's a high school bully cat burglar pickpocket.
Starting point is 01:28:23 And then Steve comes up to you and says, hey man, don't say that. That's hateful against me. That could lead to violence against me. Well, hold on a second, Steve. You're the one that stole all the lunch money. That's who the globalists are. That's who the Democrats are.
Starting point is 01:28:37 That's who the mainstream media is. They've stolen your country. They've stolen your integrity. They've stolen your freedom. They've stolen your reality. They've stolen everything. They've stolen your future. They've stolen your children's future.
Starting point is 01:28:50 They've stolen our education system. They have taken from us everything except the very breath from our mouths. And now they're coming for that too with a stupid face mask. And so you just point the finger and you say, you've done this. You've committed these crimes.
Starting point is 01:29:08 You've committed these atrocities. You're trying to make us a slave. You're lying to us. You're dividing us. You're gas-slating us. You're instigating us. You're doing it. And they say, oh, don't say that.
Starting point is 01:29:19 That could lead to violence against us. Well, you know what? Maybe you deserve what's coming. There we go. You ever thought about that? Waiting for it. Oh, wait, they have. That's why they're so scared.
Starting point is 01:29:30 Did you really think we would just take this on our backs? You really thought you could control the mobs? No. No. That analogy that Owen used is not great, but I think I get the point. Owen understands that his position in life
Starting point is 01:29:51 and his career is to be a stochastic terrorist and work really hard to inspire people to enact violence on his enemies, but he doesn't feel like he's wrong to do that because he's decided that his enemies deserve it, his imagined enemies. That's not surprising to hear. And honestly, it's a theme that kind of runs underneath
Starting point is 01:30:08 a lot of Infowars programming, but it's weird to hear Owen be so blunt about those feelings of wanting mob violence. Seems like a bad move. I, you guys stole everything and I want everybody to solve this problem and you deserve violence. So I think we all know how I wanted everyone
Starting point is 01:30:23 to solve this problem. It seems like a really bad move, particularly because we've done this enough times to know that should anything happen, they'll call it a false flag. Yeah, no kidding. You know? Also, it's almost impressive to me
Starting point is 01:30:34 how much that rant felt forced. Oh, so bad. The emotion felt ungenuine, but in a completely different way than the falseness of Alex's outbursts. Alex is way over the top, growling and fake crying, almost like a clown's take on performing an emotion. When Owen gets rolling,
Starting point is 01:30:51 it feels way too much like he's thinking in his head, all right, now it's time to get intense. You can almost hear him trying to figure out what to talk about next. It's a really boring version of insincerity and I just don't enjoy it that much as a style. Yeah, and as far, I'm sorry to say this, but his voice gets real whiny.
Starting point is 01:31:10 In the higher pitches, he cracks, his voice gets real whiny, and so you stole it and you did it. It just doesn't sell it to me. I try not to be too critical on those kinds of fronts because I think that most... Says the man with the golden voice. Yeah, but I also have, you know,
Starting point is 01:31:28 there are types of emoting that I can do where my voice is very annoying to folks as well. I think that a lot of people don't have... I call that talking for me. People don't have as much control over the tonal qualities of their voices they want to, without a lot of work going into it. So I always try and be understanding on that front.
Starting point is 01:31:51 I mean, just more in terms of the things that are very easily controllable. Right. You would think after four years you'd get a little bit better at faking an emotion if your job is basically to create and present emotions. But... Yeah, I mean, if your job though,
Starting point is 01:32:07 as you see it, is really just to do an Alex impression, you know. That's the problem. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So in this next clip, Owen writes some fan fiction about Trump and what he's up to while he's hiding. Sure.
Starting point is 01:32:20 And just listen to this clip and ask yourself, how is this any different than what people online do with QAnon? Okay. But you know what? I think what President Trump is doing right now is he's giving these people one last chance. What?
Starting point is 01:32:35 And he may have even given them a day and just said, you know what? I'm gonna go away. I'm gonna be quiet for about 30 days. And you guys can concede this election. And you can stop lying to the American people. And you can stop making deals with the Communist Chinese and stop working for the UN and the World Health Organization.
Starting point is 01:33:03 And let me be president. Or you can continue to tick off the Americans. You can continue to tick off the Republic. And I'll unleash this beast. I'll unleash this crag and I'll let this line roar. And you can deal with that instead. Because that's where this is going. Yeah, it's a million marchers in D.C. peacefully now.
Starting point is 01:33:30 Yeah, it's gonna be thousands of people peacefully in Atlanta this weekend. But let me tell you, if you steal this election from us and you put in a UN, communist, corrupt criminal Joe Biden in the White House, it's not gonna be a million peaceful marchers in D.C. No, no, no. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:49 Okay, so if Biden is inaugurated, we will kill. Yeah, I mean, more or less. Good work, guys. And thanks for your help. Thanks for your help. He's creating this fictitious imaginary scenario where Trump has given a deadline for the globalists to back down
Starting point is 01:34:04 and stop pissing off the patriots. And it's gonna be a terrible thing. And it's gonna be at high noon 30 days from now. Because he's such a good guy. You have to give him that chance to do the right thing. And now, this is where this idea that Owen is just creating out of his own fantasy. Isn't that the same thing the globalists have to do?
Starting point is 01:34:25 Hey, interesting thought. That is an interesting thought. Because that dovetails in this next... Okay, here we go. Yeah. Trump's giving them one last shot. And of course, they're not gonna stop. But see, just like they have to have
Starting point is 01:34:39 that metaphysical comfort, just like they have to have that metaphysical comfort of, you accepting the mask, you accepting the vaccine, you accepting the tyranny, you inviting the tyranny, that gives them the metaphysical comfort knowing they didn't force it on you, you accepted it. Trump, we have to have the same metaphysical comfort knowing that we gave one last shot too.
Starting point is 01:35:04 Hey, we gave him one last chance to stop it, stop with the enslavement of mankind, stop with the lies that you're telling mankind, stop all of it, stop the election theft, you can stop it all right now, the censorship, you're coming after all of us, and they won't do it. But they've been given the metaphysical opportunity now.
Starting point is 01:35:25 So there will be no excuses. Okay, this is a problem for me on a couple levels. Oh, there's a problem on a lot of levels. The first is that this is just a preemptive justification for murder. Owen is telling the audience that once Biden is president, that means the audience's enemies have turned down this imaginary last chance
Starting point is 01:35:41 that Trump is offering them to give up their wicked ways. It's gonna be tough to eat your neighbor, but take comfort in the fact that they deserve it because Trump gave them the last chance. They had a chance, they could have changed their mind at any point in time, they've earned it. That's the function of this. The second issue I have is with Owen's understanding
Starting point is 01:35:56 of Alex's bizarre moral system. Owen seems to think that it's about the globalists needing to feel comfortable that they give you a choice, but that's not what Alex believes. Alex believes there are literal cosmic laws that even the devil cannot break that involve you not being able to act counter to someone else's free will.
Starting point is 01:36:14 It's not that it's a comfort to know you didn't force people to do something, it's a belief system that involves instant karma coming if you do. It's a necessity. I worry that Alex may not have fully explained this whole system of how the cosmos worked to Owen, which is troubling.
Starting point is 01:36:29 I get the sense that maybe what happened is that Alex got pretty drunk a couple times and rambled at Owen about this. He misremembered something. This is all Owen remembers, yeah. It's about comfort, not the immutable laws of the universe. Even in, why, why, why are you saying that you have to do the same thing as the globalists?
Starting point is 01:36:49 We'll see. Shouldn't you be like, we don't have to do the globalists because we're not globalists. If you're saying we have to do the same thing as the globalists, that makes me think that you're actually globalists. It's not the same thing, it just has sort of similarities. Like, with the globalists, they're like,
Starting point is 01:37:07 they have to trick you into doing something. Sure, of course. That's deceitful. With Trump, this is straight up. How? Because this is him being like, hey, everybody knows everything. This is your last chance.
Starting point is 01:37:18 No, he would be straight up if he said that, but instead he's doing these weird esoteric legal challenges that don't make any sense. He's saying it to the globalists behind the scenes. Oh, okay. According to Owen's imagination. So then why do I have to die? Well, you had your chance.
Starting point is 01:37:34 Okay, that's a good point. You heard Owen. I did have my chance. I did have my chance. You heard Owen imagine this thing, and you refused to get in line. Yeah, you had your chance. I had my obsolete acquiescence, I guess.
Starting point is 01:37:46 Yeah, and I think that this also highlights the other thing where Owen is doing a bad Alex impression. Like, his version of Alex's stupid moral system isn't interesting. It's even more stupid and less interesting. It's not interesting. Whereas Alex seems like it's based on some kind of real fucked up belief system
Starting point is 01:38:05 that I'm interested in unraveling. I'm not interested in listening to Owen miscommunicate it. Well, he clearly doesn't share that nonsensical belief. Of course not. He doesn't share it, and I don't think he actually understands what Alex is trying to convey, and so he just sort of botches it.
Starting point is 01:38:21 But he is doing an Alex impression, and apparently this is some piece of this mythology that's important enough that he feels like he needs to also include it. Jesus. And it's just, bleh. Yeah. So anyway, I was about ready to say fuck all this,
Starting point is 01:38:36 but Owen, every time I think I'm out, he pulls me back. All right. Coming up in the next segment, we're gonna be joined by Alex Jones and by Nick Fuentes, and apparently Alex has a big announcement that he is going to be making, and he really wants me to emphasize that. So Alex is coming up huge announcement next segment.
Starting point is 01:38:59 I am not positive there is a huge announcement, but when I hear that, You gotta stick around. Well, hello. That would be cool if he was like going to sacrifice Nick Fuentes to Trump and like eat his heart in public. Alex has shown inclinations towards cannibalism.
Starting point is 01:39:15 I think that would work. I think I would definitely give Trump the presidency. Have Alex eviscerated Nick Fuentes and ate his heart live on air. The only thing that I think is kind of close to like maybe this is his huge announcement is something I don't know if I've heard from him before was he does say that the Austro-Hungarian Empire
Starting point is 01:39:35 did nothing wrong in the lead up to World War One. Okay. That's an issue for me. It is somehow. That's a new problem that I didn't know I had to converse with today. I didn't. Well, we don't have to. Okay, good.
Starting point is 01:39:47 Cause I don't think that's his announcement. He does say that and I got confused. And we can talk about that another time if he brings it up again. I would like to hear more. It could have been a stray thought. He doesn't elaborate on it. He says it's all the British fault.
Starting point is 01:40:01 Their fault. Sure. Sure. That sounds right. Anyway, that's not his announcement, but it could have been. Maybe it's that Nick Fuentes had the speech of the day. Best speech out there at Atlanta. And like I said, did he just hiss for 25 minutes? May as well.
Starting point is 01:40:17 But he hissed in the right direction. And that is at the GOP. Sure. Who are backing up Trump. Again, Nick is a guy who has a project. And his project now seems to be focused on being anti-GOP. He's a usurper. Mitch McConnell has said nothing.
Starting point is 01:40:33 Nikki Haley has said nothing. Dan Crenshaw, Madison Cawthorne, all the people hailed as the future of the GOP have remained silent. Well, people like myself and Alex and Patriots like you coming out to the state capitals have been doing all the work and fighting for this. So we have to take the fight to them,
Starting point is 01:40:50 no matter what happens with President Trump. And let's be clear. We know China Joe's a bought and paid for enemy. He's not even a trader. He's just a robot. But when you've got Marco Rubio and you've got the gay pirate Crenshaw and all these fake people doing all of this, they are literally worse than the enemy
Starting point is 01:41:13 because they act like they're with us when they're really establishment folks. Yeah, so it seems like this is the direction that they will probably want to go next with their targets. Obviously, you can always keep Soros and all that shit in the back burner. But yeah, ineffective cowardly Republicans and name only can be the new enemy.
Starting point is 01:41:37 The turncoats who didn't support Trump in his hour of need. Like, guys, I agree with you. They were lying to you the whole time. But in a different way than what you think. They were lying differently than you. Like, it would almost, I wonder, sometimes I wonder, like, what would happen if the Murdochs just like one day were like, hey, we don't want everybody to be killed.
Starting point is 01:42:00 So we're just going to announce Fox News has been lying to you this whole fucking time. It was our idea. We wanted to get you guys to do the bullshit that we wanted to. Now, we don't want you to kill everybody. Sorry. Someone would find some investor in news corps
Starting point is 01:42:17 and be like, well, this is why they said that, because he got bought off. But I would turn into a conspiracy. It's never going to change. No. So I think that Alex is really into this, too. And I think it's probably a really sound decision on his part in terms of where to take the rhetoric, where
Starting point is 01:42:35 to take the narratives. If you want to try and shift into some direction, going against the ineffective turncoat Republicans or whatever is probably going to be your best bet. Because then you'll probably get a little bit of the slack of people on the left caring about what you're doing. If you're attacking the people they don't like,
Starting point is 01:42:56 you'll probably like less mean comments on Twitter are going to come in. And you saw exactly this model play out with Nick Fuentes when he started attacking turning point. There was a lot of people who were like, let them fight. Or there were a lot of people who were like, ha ha, look at this, isn't this funny? And in the process, they passively
Starting point is 01:43:18 or by amplifying and laughing at them, making fun of Charlie Kirk, aided in pushing and furthering Nick Fuentes's goals. So I think that this is probably, if you're just trying to craft what do we do next now that we know there's no chance this is going to work out, it's probably a sound thing to do. Well, I mean, I'm going to, I would say,
Starting point is 01:43:42 going back to their terrible military strategy and then update it for us here. When your enemies are in fighting, it is a bad idea to just let them watch or just watch it. That's when they're weakest. That's when you destroy both of them. You can't allow them to regroup after defeating their inner power struggle in order to become even worse.
Starting point is 01:44:04 And the worst parts of it probably entrenched during that in fighting. Then we saw that in 2009 onward with a tea party. We are going to probably see that again unless, and I don't know what you do. Like, I don't like to talk about crushing because I think that that's kind of, I don't know, violent imagery.
Starting point is 01:44:25 And I'm not super into that. I don't know what you do to push back against this stuff, but I do agree with you, like watching and laughing, like, ha ha, they're destroying each other, is not good when one of the parties that is doing the destroying is far more extreme than, and that's not to say, hey, we should defend the mainline GOP.
Starting point is 01:44:45 It's just that neither of those is a winning strategy. No, I mean, what we should do is what the right has always done successfully to the left in the center, which is exacerbate whatever differences they have and force them to destroy each other instead of just the right never sits back and watches us fight.
Starting point is 01:45:04 Fair enough. But anyway, Alex says he's gonna take over the GOP, which is what he said years ago, and then he said he had, and then Trump did, and now I guess they're doing it again. But this is so lucky. Nick starts talking about his view of America. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:45:22 And the mic cuts out at exactly the right time. Yeah, I would imagine so. You know who the Rhinos are, and we're taking over the party, we are the people, we are the populist movement. How would you describe the new right? Because, you know, we're just the new populist. Not this.
Starting point is 01:45:37 Well, I call it America first. Not this. Because what distinguishes us from them is our interpretation of what is America. In our view, what constitutes America is the American people. It's not America as its economy. It's not America as its government.
Starting point is 01:45:51 It's not it's America. You gotta talk to Steven Pease. All right, we are live right now. We have Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes our transmission there, our connection has been interrupted. We will get them potted up. If I were a producer and I were watching this
Starting point is 01:46:10 and I knew who Nick Fuentes was, exactly. I'm not saying that's what happened. Red button, red button as soon as you can. He was about to say it's not America, the Republic. Stop it, red button. He's about to say it's not America, the country. If he's left to talk about what he believes the American people are,
Starting point is 01:46:25 it's going to become a little blunt what his beliefs are. I'm not saying that someone did hit the red button or anything. There's equally possible that their tech issues just suck so much. More possible. But if I were there, I would have done exactly that.
Starting point is 01:46:39 Totally. Because you can't risk that game getting blown up. You can't risk- You're just waiting for them to be like, and we're going to round up all the people with mental health issues and put them in the, whoa, whoa, whoa, who hit the red button? Who's it?
Starting point is 01:46:55 Yeah, exactly. All immigrants have to go and okay, well. Yep, yep. Anyway, I thought that maybe that trucker strike thing that Nick was talking about was just trying to rile up the crowd. It turns out he really is in support of this,
Starting point is 01:47:11 which is weird. That is weird. But then it's weirder that Alex is too. Okay, fuck off. And I'll tell you, I really like what I'm seeing with this trucker strike that they're planning later this month. I was about to say, I've been meaning to promote that
Starting point is 01:47:22 for a week. If the trucker strike, especially on the East Coast, they should shut down blue states and blue cities. Hey, you're shutting us down with the COVID hugs. We're shutting you down. And they should come to Georgia and other state capitals and just drive around honking the whole time. In fact, truckers, I'm calling for you
Starting point is 01:47:38 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday here at noon every day. Drive around the capital honking your horns. Honk for us. Nick is a child, so I'm less interested in his political philosophy making coherent sense. Sure. Alex, on the other hand, should definitely not be in favor of a strike just because he likes the goal of it.
Starting point is 01:47:58 The means that's being used to achieve the goal is the withholding of labor in an organized fashion, which he totally hates. It's interesting and kind of ironic why this plan that Nick is so keen on would never work. The biggest reason is deregulation and union busting in the shipping and trucking sector. According to Snopes, there used to be two million truckers
Starting point is 01:48:17 who were members of the Teamsters, and now there are only 75,000. Great. The institutional power that truckers had in the 70s from banding together and keeping those unions strong has disappeared, largely due to political influence of people who Nick and Alex would be largely in agreement with, at least as far as labor issues go.
Starting point is 01:48:34 Odd. There is often big talk about truckers striking because it brings to mind a complete shutdown of food distribution and the myriad issues that come along with it, but the sad reality is that these strikes don't really end up having any real impact because they can't. If you're a trucker and you wanna strike,
Starting point is 01:48:52 are you gonna get the Teamsters to strike to install Trump as president? Do you really think that's gonna work? That's probably never going to happen. So if you're working in a union shop, that's not gonna be a strike. That's gonna be you quitting. If you're an independent trucker,
Starting point is 01:49:07 or maybe you work for a smaller outfit that's theoretically on board with this strike, you probably can't afford to do it because there's no protection for you. You have no weight to throw around by withholding your labor since whoever's hiring you can just hire somebody else. If those tomatoes need to get to Kansas
Starting point is 01:49:22 and you're on strike to install your fantasy king, great, good for you, you're fired, and this other truck is gonna get paid to haul those tomatoes. The only way this kind of strategy could work is ironically, if the world was exactly how Alex and Nick don't want it to be. If the trucker's union was strong
Starting point is 01:49:39 and everyone in it could vote to stop work because they felt the election was stolen, it would be super fucked up, but they could make a pretty huge statement. The political movement that Alex and Nick are a part of has actually ensured that this can never really happen. It is because it's clearly them being like, well, we would love unions if they agreed with us,
Starting point is 01:49:57 and for some reason we can't get unions to agree that we should destroy unions, and I just don't get it. And honestly, even if this could possibly happen, this idea, it doesn't matter. On this day when this episode is recorded, November 18th, the guy who organized this strike called it off.
Starting point is 01:50:15 Cool. Probably because it was an absurd idea it would only hurt the participants and achieve literally nothing. Well, there is that. Yeah, I'm fascinated by this abdication of their political beliefs, though. Like, I don't understand it.
Starting point is 01:50:29 Their political beliefs are, we will do anything to get what we want. So that's why it always gets to me whenever somebody's like, oh, Mitch McConnell's a hypocrite or any of that bullshit. Their only political belief is, here is the thing that I want, and I will do anything to get it. So there's no possible way for them
Starting point is 01:50:47 to be hypocritical in this fashion. I understand that. You know? That's their belief system. I understand that with people like Mitch McConnell. Sure. I know that Alex isn't any better, but his brand is supposed to be that he's better.
Starting point is 01:51:01 Sure. His brand is supposed to be, yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. And that's why it's just kind of weird to me that like, I get it, but I don't get how you don't get it. Not you. Yeah, no, no, no, I know, I know. Anyway, Alex's traffic is way up, because of course it is.
Starting point is 01:51:18 Because of course it is. During these sorts of periods, Alex ends up getting much more traffic, I think a lot of the times, cause people want to see him drunk and crying or something. There's a lot of potential for something. And he said this a couple of times in the last couple of weeks that traffic is way up, but no one's buying anything.
Starting point is 01:51:35 Yeah, yeah. And that's sort of characteristic of either artificial traffic or people tuning in to be like, oh, something bad's gonna happen. Yeah, we saw that multiple times. He's like, traffic is so, it's triple the size, but people aren't buying anything. And I just don't, yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:50 Yep. We are seeing four or five times the traffic on the side. There we go. It's pissing off the globalists. They don't know what to do. They've got feds, FBI, they come in the restaurant, sit down every morning, we eat breakfast. They put CIA stickers on our car, even in locked up garages.
Starting point is 01:52:04 And they just want us to know they're watching. Of course we know that you're helping guide in the end of America and the merger with the New World Order. It's gonna be peaceful and good, but it's not. They're coming to sterilize our sons. They're coming with 5G. They're coming to fry us and kill us. That's their own damn admissions.
Starting point is 01:52:19 They're gonna depopulate us. And so all you FBI agents, remember, you're gonna be thrown to the wind, just like all these tyrants do. You're destroying America. You're destroying everything. So I feel good about what I'm doing and I'm not threatening, I'm not intimidated.
Starting point is 01:52:32 So I have a hundred feds followers if you want. You work for the Shai comms. And if you don't stand with us, you have that on your conscience. You have God to face and God's real and God's the real judge. We'll be right back. Wow.
Starting point is 01:52:42 Whoa, boy. That's something. That's intense. Yeah. That's a bit. Alex's traffic is way up and the feds are following him and putting CIA stickers on his car.
Starting point is 01:52:52 I wrote that down. I'm confused as to why they would do that. Is that just a gentle remind? Hey guys, we're watching. Just to let you know. We can put a sticker on your car anytime we want. Yeah. I don't know if the CIA is into pranks.
Starting point is 01:53:09 Do you think it might be a bunch of kids? It certainly could be. I mean, I think that or it could be people who used to like Alex and now decided he's a shill or something could be or like you're in the CIA. We're going to label your car. Yeah. I mean, or it didn't happen at all.
Starting point is 01:53:23 And Alex is imagining that's a possibility. He's just making all this up. He's just making up a bunch of bullshit. Yeah. Any of these things are possible. But what I think is not possible is that the feds are following him around Atlanta and putting CIA buttons on his stickers on his car.
Starting point is 01:53:37 It's not possible for the FBI to be going around and putting CIA stickers on Alex's stuff. I find it implausible. Where would they even get those stickers? I don't know if they exist. Exactly. So Alex gets in this next clip to what I think might be possibly his big news,
Starting point is 01:53:52 but it just makes no sense that this would be the big news. We're here. I've got big news, as I said. The Austro-Hungarian Empire. I want to start getting into it now. The freedom streak of those of us that were pro-Trump, pro-America, we don't go away just if they still selection from Trump.
Starting point is 01:54:08 And it's the fighting the fraudulent election that puts us in position to absolutely now. If you thought Trump put a big dent in the new world order, well, we're just getting started. Trump is just one wave. So I guess his big news is that Trump isn't the end, which is not news. That doesn't sound like news at all.
Starting point is 01:54:28 It's not big. Especially considering he said it in 2016 before Trump won the election. He was like, listen, here's the major victory for us. Trump isn't the end of things. Yeah, yeah. There's a step along the way. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:54:39 Yeah, I don't know. If there was some sort of actual big news, it's not gotten to at all. It's just that we keep on fighting and what have you. Sure, sure, sure. And then Nick phrases this in such a weird way, but it's actually not that weird. It's really revealing.
Starting point is 01:54:55 What they've done is they've disenfranchised 73 million Trump supporters. The president gained 10 million voters between 2016 and 2020. There's more Trump supporters than ever. There's more patriots than ever. That are aware of globalism. The idea that stealing the election from us,
Starting point is 01:55:12 canceling our votes and disenfranchising 70 some million people that we go away after all of that, if they just get through, you know, they speed through the process, they seat Joe Biden, that they think then that we just disappear into thin air. Losing an election is not the same thing as being disenfranchised,
Starting point is 01:55:29 but this is actually a really neat moment of clarity for Nick because it is the same thing to him. He believes that he's entitled to win everything, whether it be due to the color of his skin or his radical Catholicism. This is the same mentality you hear in that tape of Richard Spencer that Milo released. In his rant, Spencer said, quote,
Starting point is 01:55:49 like, this is never over. I win. They fucking lose. That's how the world fucking works. Little fucking K's. Wee. They get ruled by people like me. My ancestors fucking enslaved those little pieces
Starting point is 01:56:00 of fucking shit. I rule the fucking world. Those pieces of fucking shit get ruled over, ruled by people like me. They look up and see a face like mine looking down at them. This audio was allegedly recorded the day after the Unite the Right rally in 2017, which Nick Fuentes took part in.
Starting point is 01:56:18 It's not hard to understand that underneath whatever slick presentation folks like Nick have, that rage of entitlement is just below the surface. It makes total sense for him to claim that losing an election is disenfranchising his side because he's entitled to win. Would he ever think that all the people who voted
Starting point is 01:56:34 for Hillary in 2016 were disenfranchised? No, of course not. Because they're entitled to lose to someone like him. They're globalists and they're evil and they should be liable. Yeah, it's very fucked up. It's exactly what they are. Yeah, they want a, well, I mean,
Starting point is 01:56:49 if you want a homogenous nation, then the idea that losing an election is possible is kind of silly. True. And I mean, like, he's not gonna be pressed on this on Infowars because Alex doesn't want to open up this box of worms. But I mean, he believes that people who have like
Starting point is 01:57:07 immigrated here shouldn't vote and stuff. Nick, Nick, I have a couple of quick questions for you. Do you want a white nation? Wow. Okay, follow up question. Have you ever heard of what happens to people who don't have quote, pure blood in a white nation? I've heard of Nick Fuentes.
Starting point is 01:57:26 Yes, I've heard. Have you heard what happens to people who do not have pure blood? That's a point that comes up in a number of discussions that he's had that I've seen, the point about his last name being Fuentes. And I don't know, I don't know. I don't think he really deals with that.
Starting point is 01:57:44 I don't think he wants to. No, no. Anyway, I think it's interesting that, you know, this is all very revealing, this, the conversation that they're having, whether it be Owen being like, yeah, mob violence, they deserve it. Hey, they have it coming.
Starting point is 01:58:03 Okay. Trump gave them an ephemeral chance that they had no idea was happening because he put it in a court filing where he said that demons were flying in from stargates to shit on our shoes. Pretty blunt. All of their specific points that they're making
Starting point is 01:58:20 about these, the various states are nonsensical. Yep. You know, Nick is just talking about taking over the GOP. I think he is probably is the most singular focus. Yeah. And I don't know if he actually believes this or he knows that Alex believes it and therefore it's best to play into Alex's beliefs,
Starting point is 01:58:39 but he's presenting himself as also fighting the literal devil. Sure. We're fighting a spiritual war. You know, don't forget, it's not about on some level even Republicans and Democrats or globalists and people, although it is in some sense, it is about the rulers and the principalities
Starting point is 01:58:56 of other realms, evil versus good. That's what it's always been. It's timeless. Other realms, other dimensions. That's right. Yeah. So I don't know if Nick actually believes that or if he's doing this to manipulate Alex.
Starting point is 01:59:07 Sure. Either is possible. But also you see that Republicans or Democrats, globalists or people, that's the dichotomy there. That's strange. No, he's genuinely one of those truly terrifying psychopaths. You know? Like he's a guy who provides you,
Starting point is 01:59:27 I would say that 99% of the people in the world, you can actually talk to, they're reasonable people. But guys like Nick Fuentes are that argument for like, you can't talk to this. He's a terrifying psychopath. Yeah, like a couple of months ago. This can only be handled by a larger power, you know? Like a federal, or like a...
Starting point is 01:59:47 Not God. No, not God, obviously. Like a level of something, somebody needs to step in because this isn't a like one-on-one conversation that you can have with Nick Fuentes. If you were someone in his life, you might want to try and like get him help.
Starting point is 02:00:02 I mean, like a couple of months ago, he got, he posted a video of him going to like Troll of Black Lives Matter protest. Where like, he had one of his friends had a sign that said, I can't read. Like parodying, I can't breathe. These the type of person who does shit like that. Like that's just like, you take the political stuff out
Starting point is 02:00:20 of it, take anything out of it. It's just anti-social, disgusting behavior. And I don't know. Anyway, I think that what we saw a little bit in that CPAC appearance is sort of continuing. It's not been as consistent or direct as it appeared it might be, as it did appear that Nick Fuentes was kind of trying to like usurp a little bit.
Starting point is 02:00:47 And I think that he's taking up a mantle here as more of a like actual leader than Alex. And that's kind of scary, but also like, what are you gonna lead? Alex's kingdom is illusory, doesn't really exist. Yeah, that's the thing that I was wondering. Like what do you want to be? The next Owen Troyer?
Starting point is 02:01:06 Good luck. No, I mean, we saw this on, his ambition is clearly far, far higher, way, way higher than being a second in command to Alex, which is kind of why. His project involves using info wars, not being a part of it. As a stepping stone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:23 He probably is almost even embarrassed that they are the sort of people he has to use. He still has to, yeah. As soon as he gets outside of their level, he's not, he's not a ladder up guy. Uh-uh, um, no, that's- Owen who? What was the, what was the name of the event
Starting point is 02:01:40 that they went to? The RNC, remember when Alex got super drunk and couldn't give it- The deplorable? The deplorable when he couldn't even give his own keynote speech. Yeah. Was that the one where, no, no, no,
Starting point is 02:01:51 you're talking about CPAC. Yeah. The deplorable is where he got really drunk and peed on a tree. Yeah, that was a different one. Yeah. Oh, good type. No, at CPAC, whenever Fuentes showed up
Starting point is 02:02:02 and clearly stole the show from him, like even then, my first thought is like, Alex, this is not somebody that you can use. This is somebody you should watch out for. This is somebody who's gunning for you and if you can't see that, you're insane to me, you know? Yeah, but Alex and him can coexist as long as he follows Nick.
Starting point is 02:02:21 Sure. Yeah, I agree. And if the next season and the next project is destroying the GOP who won't bend to their extremist Tea Party will, then the two of them could have common cause and coexist perfectly fine. Sure.
Starting point is 02:02:37 It's just once Nick Fuentes in his larger project, leaning towards Catholic fascism becomes more apparent. That's where he and Alex might come to loggerheads, but that's a ways off. See, that's the thing though. If you're Alex, you have to see Nick Fuentes and realize two things. One, it's, he's never going to bend to you.
Starting point is 02:03:01 No. That's never going to happen. And two, there's only two ways that goes. Yup. You bend to him or he disappears. Those are the only options there. And when he's gone, when he disappears, he's planning something against you.
Starting point is 02:03:14 Exactly, exactly. What don't you understand about who you, why don't any of these people know who their friends are? Yeah, everybody who's run afoul of Roger Stone, Roger Stone has tried to destroy. Yeah. You don't think he's going to do that again? What do you think he's going to be like?
Starting point is 02:03:29 Well, I have some sentimental attachment to Alex. Get the fuck out of here. He used to be friends with Larry Claiming. We saw how that went. Exactly. It's not, don't, don't, don't get involved. So stupid. And Nick Fuentes seems like, I mean,
Starting point is 02:03:46 like just quite frankly, slick, intelligent, able to. Razor focused. Yes. To a level that you just don't see generally with people who are in the Info Wars fear. Yeah. I mean, like obviously I agree with you. If I were Alex, I would be terrified of him.
Starting point is 02:04:04 Yeah. And work to pretend. I would be trying to destroy him. Either that or pretend he doesn't exist. Yeah. One over two. But Alex can't because Nick is fairly popular in these right wing worlds and he has, you know,
Starting point is 02:04:19 whatever amount of juice that he does and the grippers and stuff. And Alex wants a piece of it. Yeah. It's just so weird to be watching a Greek tragedy happen and not have that. Like if you're watching a play and you're watching a Greek tragedy, you're like,
Starting point is 02:04:32 man, those characters have no idea what's coming for them next. Well, see, but here's where I would take issue with that. It's the same thing with me saying that like Alex should only be in studio and Owen should be as proxy. Sure. Like that is what they should do. And that is a way that it could play out
Starting point is 02:04:46 and it's going to be disappointing when it doesn't. Right. You looking at this as a Greek tragedy is also probably not how it's going to play out. It's probably way less interesting than it is. Yeah, that's probably true. Because people develop and people change over time. And honestly, I think the most likely thing
Starting point is 02:05:02 that's going to happen is that Alex and Nick will have some sort of an alliance and be able to work together, attacking the GOP. And then, I don't know, Nick can't help himself. He's also a fucking extreme troll. He's a lunatic. He'll do something that ends up getting him kicked off whatever streaming platform he's been relegated to now
Starting point is 02:05:27 or whatever. Like he can't, he can't not push the envelope. Yeah, that's true. And he'll just be some sort of an extremist voice. Next, George Lincoln Rockwell or some shit. Yeah, probably. Yeah. I just, he's just one of those guys who it seems like
Starting point is 02:05:43 he's that like dark candidate in the GOP that they cannot see coming. You know? They just don't see him coming. They think they're completely different people. And then Nick Fuentes is there and they realize they're Nick Fuentes. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:05:59 I don't think so. I think that that's writing a supervillain story where only a shithead, like a really dangerous shithead exists. We have a couple of last clips here and they're just a little check-in on how Alex's operation is going. He did a money bomb a little while ago
Starting point is 02:06:20 and he made a lot of money from that. But then he also decided to send a tank across the East Coast. So that was a bad idea from a... And then he's been flying all over the place and he goes with like a large security detail and then also has to broadcast remotely. Jesus.
Starting point is 02:06:35 And apparently this hasn't been a great idea. Yeah. Taking a break on election countdown at Nike as a limited crew. The Arnold Reigns not been gotten rid of. We're just taking a week off because there's no crew because we're all over the country right now.
Starting point is 02:06:47 We just don't have the infrastructure. So that's why I buy the products in fullwarstore.com. So we can try to hire more crew to be able to be on... He can't afford to do the nightly show now. He's just canceled it for a week. You know what I would say. Because I guess within a week, he'll be back in Austin and the manpower
Starting point is 02:07:09 will be able to be moved. That's a thin operation. There is like no... If there's no one else to run the board and you can't afford to pay someone, I don't know, 20 bucks an hour or something, you can't get someone like some freelance person to... Guess not.
Starting point is 02:07:25 Wow. Guess not. If that is the difference between like, we have the money for it, we don't, that is a razor's edge. That's real bad. That's real bad. I don't know if that's actually true or not.
Starting point is 02:07:39 I would assume that it's just not worth it. I would, yeah, that would probably make the most sense too. Yeah. And it turns out it was between that, cancel the nightly show or get rid of David Knight. It's just we don't have the forces to be able to have folks to run those shows. David Knight in the morning,
Starting point is 02:07:54 Info Wars, my show during the day, the war room. I mean, you know, which was it? Cancel the nighttime show or cancel David Knight? Well, we're not gonna cancel David Knight. We love him. So, but if you get to a point where the funding gets cut, David Knight goes away or only goes away. Please keep buying products at infowarstore.com.
Starting point is 02:08:10 This is a real fight 12th round, infowarstore.com. Great products, big sell about the end. Sean Rappaport, nomorefectnews.com. Taking over. God bless you all. We'll see you in Georgia at the state capitol. God bless. It takes zero for us to suddenly just start jamming a little
Starting point is 02:08:41 bit. Look, it's totally that is brutal, brutal shift. Yeah, I have no confidence in the staying power of my organization and I had to fire someone, whether it be the nightly show or beloved David Knight. And hey, you know what? If we don't get money, Owen might be gone. Get the fuck out of here, Owen.
Starting point is 02:09:01 Anyway, here's hauling oats. Here's a jaunty sex outro for the show. It's very, very jarring. Oh, man. They just hurt us. I've learned long ago, or maybe I should have learned long ago and learned fairly recently not to take anything at face value with Alex's financial, financial talks.
Starting point is 02:09:22 So this may mean something. It may just be a desperate ploy for money. I don't know. But if the nightly show is canceled for a week because Alex is in Georgia, that is not inspiring confidence in terms of maybe the arrangement just sucks. I mean, she does. She does.
Starting point is 02:09:39 So maybe they're just creating a fake reason to be like, Deanna, you suck. Yeah, we need to find a character for her. I'm not sure what it would be. I haven't watched enough of her to really know what character she would shine as in the way that Owen as the proxy on the street, Joe Biggs as the mechanic. Monochromatic snatch.
Starting point is 02:09:58 Oh, I see what you did there. Thank you. No. No. There's nothing better when making a little joke and having somebody say, I see what you did there. I just don't think that that conception of a character was any good.
Starting point is 02:10:14 No, it was not. The parody of the social justice warrior archetype or whatever. It just had no legs. Even a good performer couldn't have pulled that off. I would say, don't try and retread those boards. That's a bad idea. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever, we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 02:10:30 Anyway, I was a little disappointed by Alex in Georgia. Just as a whole, I think that it was refreshing to hear him yelling in a bullhorn and people yelling back. Yeah, that's great. Getting people excited. That's good stuff. But you also notice, once you watch enough of it, that it's like, this is really one note.
Starting point is 02:10:48 It's just that over and over again, yelling the same catchphrases, the same sort of little blurbs. If you want to fight, you better believe you got one and then everyone yells, yay. It's like him yelling his get or done or whatever. It's kind of, it wears on in a way that you shouldn't be in Georgia for multiple days. You should just be there for a sting
Starting point is 02:11:11 and then get back to the fucking studio where you're needed. But it didn't work out. No. Georgia did not work for Alex. Yes. And this is coming out on Monday. So we'll know for sure the certification status. But it does not.
Starting point is 02:11:29 Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, with Michigan. Yes. They were talking about that earlier. They were talking about Michigan. Yeah, so we'll see you on that one. And I don't know. I think this is going to fizzle and they're
Starting point is 02:11:39 going to need to find themselves on more solid ground. And it appears to me that's all at ground. If they're smart is a new tea party thing. Attacking the GOP. Yeah. Yeah, that would make the most sense. Yeah. So we'll see.
Starting point is 02:11:56 Ah, let's hope. Yeah. Yep. We'll be back, Jordan. But until then, we have a website. We do have a website. It's knowledgefight.com. Yep.
Starting point is 02:12:02 We're also on Twitter. We are on Twitter. It's at knowledge underscore fight. It at go to bed Jordan. Yep. We're also on Facebook. We are on Facebook. If you doubt us, you're right.
Starting point is 02:12:11 I tune in. If you could please find a local charity or bail fund in your area to help out people doing God's work right now. Yeah. We'll be back. But until then, I'm Nio. I'm Leo. I'm DZX.
Starting point is 02:12:20 Clark, I'm the juiciest ice cube. Andy and Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding. So, Alex, I'm a first-time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work. I love you.
