Andy and Kansas.
Andy and Kansas.

Andy and Kansas.
Andy and Kansas.
It's time to pray.
Andy and Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding me.
Hello Alex, I'm Mr. Stem Color.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
Knowledge fight.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, knowledge fight dot com.
I love you.
I love you.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
I'm Jordan.
We're a couple dudes like sit around, drink novelty beverages and talk a little bit about
Alex Jones.
Oh, indeed we are Dan.
Jordan.
Jordan.
I have a quick question for you.
What's up?
What's your bright spot today?
My bright spot today Jordan is Panino's Pizza.
Panino's Pizza.
Okay.
I used to live fairly close to them and it was sort of a bit of a thing where I'd go
there and get a slice pretty regularly.
Sure.
Like it.
Good slice.
Good.
I have moved since then.
I don't, I no longer live near Panino's, but I did see that there was a place that will
go nameless because I don't actually remember what the name of the place was, but there
was a by the slice pizza place.
All right.
I'll be near my house.
I was walking in the terrible snow.
Sure.
Sure.
A couple of days ago and I saw this and I said, it's tough to walk out there.
You built up a hunger.
I said, I would like a slice.
See this as good as Panino's.
Right.
Terrible.
Not as good as Panino's.
So my bright spot is remembering how much better it's Panino's.
No.
A couple of days after that, I ordered Panino's because I was pissed.
I'll see you at home.
Yeah.
So I ordered it and it was as good as I remember.
Shout out.
That's fantastic.
Congratulations to Panino's for making good pizza.
Sure.
How about you?
My bright spot, Dan, is I finally tried out Hades.
Oh yeah.
The video game.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Really, really fun.
It's nice and it's got a great, I like the mechanic of the, like, the, like, the, the
like, uh, you're supposed to die.
You die and that's part of the story.
Yeah.
It's like, it's that like, uh, Sisyphean trapped in the, in the sense of-
I need to talk to Sisyphus too.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
It's very, it's very fun.
It's a nice little take on mythology.
I enjoy it.
I don't know if I have made this complaint, um, but I have one complaint about the game.
What's that?
And that is, I don't think Hephaestus is in it.
I have not seen Hephaestus yet.
Hephaestus is the reason, Hephaestus should be making all of these buffs that you're
getting like-
He should.
He should have the-
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
Very glaring omission.
That is a huge one.
Yeah.
Anyway, that was one thing I just thought when I was playing it, but yeah, it's a lot
of fun.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It's a good time.
I, uh, recommended it to another friend and, uh, she enjoyed it quite a bit as well.
It was delightful.
It seems like it's a-
It's a good game.
It's a good game.
It's a good game.
It seems like all the good reviews are merited.
Do you know what it, do you know what it makes me?
It reminds me of a, uh, old, old PlayStation one game called Azure Dreams.
Okay.
And it was that same kind of infinite dungeon crawler that would populate a new dungeon
for you every time, but you would capture, uh, monsters.
It was like a mixture of Pokemon and, and, uh, that same kind of Hades dungeon crawler.
That sounds fun.
Fantastic game.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was, it was that weird kind of PS one game though, where it was like, also there's
a dating simulator for some reason.
You know, you're like, I don't need this guys, but I've heard that I've heard the relationship
system and Hades compared to that as well.
Really?
A dating simulator.
Oh yeah.
That's a good point.
Gifts to all those people.
That's right.
And, uh, boost your relations.
Yeah.
And that opens up different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, then that's almost exactly what it is.
Yeah.
They remade.
They remade Azure Dreams.
A very weird PlayStation one game.
Yeah.
That's true.
You don't really.
Hmm.
Anyway, Jordan.
So to go over, uh, we're going to be talking about Valentine's Day 2021 blackjack.
I was even ready for it that time.
I was like, so prepared.
I was hoping I could distract you by not saying the date, the holiday, talking about February
14th, um, Sunday, Alex has a special every year he does a special Valentine's Day episode.
I just, I just love it.
Well, it's a family show and you know, I'm being completely facetious is not a special
Valentine's Day.
I would fairly certain that I wasn't being serious about it being a family show.
Um, so, uh, we have some interesting fun things to talk about.
But first, let's say thank you to some folks who signed up and are supporting the show.
That's fun.
So first, sign me up to be a globalist.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy walk globalist.
I'm a policy walk.

Thank you very much.
Thank Bill Walton's favorite tie dye t-shirt.
Now, uh, it's interesting, Jordan, because, uh, Austin right now is in the state of Texas.
That's true.
Currently.
Yeah.
But right now in the state of Texas, they're experiencing an incredible ice storm and I
hope everybody, uh, you know, all of our listeners in that part of the world are staying
safe.
Uh, it ain't no joke.
Yeah.
From what I understand.
It's not for you guys.
We're, we're meant for that.
That's where we're, that's what we're here for.
But even us, that'd be a challenge.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's not fun.
No.
Um, and, and, uh, so Alex decided, who cares?
I'm coming into the studio.
Sure.
Sure.
Fuck it.
Yeah.
So it was a Sunday show on Valentine's Day when he could have very easily done it remotely,
not done the show.
No problem.
Have Harrison Smith ramble about white genocide.
Everybody been fine.
Yeah.
So here's an out of context drop from today's show.
So here's the video of the granny being thrown off the cliff.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Glad you came in to work.
I assume that wasn't a Walker, Texas Ranger kind of situation here.
No.
So Alex came in and he starts off the show as anyone would if they had just come in
to work, uh, driving through chaos and that is complaining about driving.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Um, this has got to be an incredible show today because I've grown up born in Texas and
I've grown up in people not being able to drive with ice on the roads because it only
happens a few times a year, but I've never seen anything like this.
This was road warrior level.
I probably saw a hundred wreck cars on the way here, smash signs, glass firefighters
trying to block major roads.
I wouldn't even be here if I hadn't just gone ahead and gone around them because I was driving
my wife's all wheel vehicle.
My favorite thing about this way, wait, I need more explanation for how he went around
him.
If his next line is with an all wheel drive vehicle, we'll get to it in a second.
Okay.
Let's talk more about that.
Okay.
I have an idea that he's starting off the show with like this better be a fucking great
show.
This has got to be a road warrior.
This has got to be worth it.
Yeah.
So you, you're asking about this, uh, this car situation.
Yeah.
Little did you know he would just talk more about this and this basically turns into a
car commercial.
Sure.
Oh, I tried to leave the house in my truck and it was not for all drive and, uh, that
that truck isn't, and I had to turn around and go back and I got her car.
That's the only good thing that German car is good for, but she wanted an Audi and man,
I was just going, cause I live in West like up these big hills, everybody else's wreck.
I mean, just wreck.
I saw 300 wreck cars, not a hundred.
It was a thousand wreck cars and I'm just like going, I mean, I'm not trying to do an
Audi commercial here, ladies and gentlemen, but my Lord, that vehicle is incredible.
And there were all these other four wheel drive cars just wrecked everywhere.
Range robers are all wheel drive.
They were wrecked.
Subaru's wrecked everywhere.
That Audi was like, oh, just a robot on rails through black ice, 20 miles to the office.
Unbelievable.
But a lot of people died in Texas.
It's really sad.
Jesus Christ.
Tonal shift.
Wow.
Yeah.
That sounds sincere.
Yeah.
A lot of people died, Audi's great, but a lot of people died cause they didn't buy an
Audi.
I'm not making a car commercial, but if you don't buy an Audi, you're going to die.
Yeah.
About a minute of rambling about a great wife's car is leading into going out to break, reminding
you that there have been fatalities and there have, but that's, that's fucked up.
Yeah.
It's, it's a little uncouth.
Yeah.
It makes me feel bad for making fun of something that's awful that he did.
Yeah.
And now I feel like one degree removed from being an awful person.
Yeah.
I think that's what we do though.
We live in that shame of being one step removed.
Yeah.
That's fair.
So, um, I wanted to cover this episode number one cause it's Valentine's Day and number
two because, um, this is the point at which Alex would know that Trump had been acquitted.
Yes.
He did a special report on Saturday, which I tried to watch a bit of, but it was mostly
him talking about vaccines and I got really bored.
She wanted to hear about his take on the impeachment because he had said it was a setup.
He said this, this whole trial was a sham and it was all just set up to get Trump.
So now what happens whenever it worked out the way that we all knew it was going to?
Well, I think Alex has a, I mean, it's bullshit, but he has actually a pretty decent spin,
I think.
All right.
We have the insane trial of the president that they suddenly ended as you had three
days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 10 hours a day of total lies against the president,
30 hours of garbage, three hours by his lawyers doing half a decent job, I'm going to kill
Trump, the vice president, we're going to burn everything down and they had to put their
tail between their legs and drop it because it was another giant fraud.
Yeah.
So, I mean, that's, that's not a terrible spin of like AI.
They showed all these videos of Democrats saying things and then they had to quit.
Yeah.
Because having a conversation about like they weren't going to, I mean, they weren't going
to vote in convict him.
No, no, no.
And the fact that, well, how many Republicans voted with the Democrats?
Seven, I believe.
More than one is a crazy number.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's it.
That was a pretty high.
Well, one of them was directly going to be murdered.
So there's that.
I would, I would assume he would be a guaranteed vote to convince.
Romney's a lock.
He's saying that if you are going to be murdered, like, I assume if Mike Pence was in the Senate,
he would be like, yeah, I'm going to have to know hanging for me, you know, like that
kind of feel.
Mm-hmm.
I'd prefer not to quit this.
Yeah.
And Alex doesn't want to talk about like things like McConnell's comments about how Trump totally
is responsible.
He did it.
It was his fault.
I wish.
But we have a constitutional argument.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that, that just, that gets too messy.
That's so stupid.
Yeah.
And now you should be embarrassed if you even try and say they did a half good job.
Van der Veen.
You should be embarrassed.
That was really, really shameful stuff.
It was.
Yeah.
Although, you know, we learned a little bit about what happens in Philly.
That's true.
He did learn a lot about Philly little Philly Delphia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I enjoyed that the portion that you and I watched, he was talking about Philly and
then a different point.
You said Philly Delphia.
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah.
Great.
Yeah.
That's good stuff.
Yep.
That's good stuff.
So when you're, you know, a radio show host and you come in on the Valentine's Day Eve
through a, a movie like Storm.
Sure.
Yes.
A perfect storm.
Yes.
You gotta, you gotta cover the important stuff.
Right.
You gotta take care of the really important business.
This Audi.
We've got a lot.
We've got Saturday Night Live is on a jag.
They're on a roll.
More jokes about pedophilia not existing and more attacks about children being abused
ritualistically because I can tell you a large part of their writing staff are pedophiles
and are devil worshipers.
Wow.
I'm going to, I'm going to have to send a couple of texts.
Steve, Steven, I heard some disturbing news.
Alex Jones is informed me that that is a bit, a bit much.
So what's going on is that the last two weeks there have been QAnon jokes on Saturday Night
Live.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
The first one was about the Super Bowl commercials and there was a commercial for QAnon where
it's like, you know, Papa John's pizza, you know, we, we know no sex trafficking in
the basement.
Sorry, Democrats.
And then apparently this week, Kate McKinnon did a character where she was a witch, like
a QAnon witch who was really interested in eating children.
You know, I did an interview with a weekend update and Alex is like, they're up there
pretending this is the news.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's an, it's an albany.
He's very mad.
He's very mad.
Have you ever imagined for a second what the SNL cast that we grew up with would have done
if QAnon was around then they're, they just went, what is Chris Farley going to do about
QAnon?
They're just not prepared for that kind of stuff.
That's just not in the, in their, in their wheelhouse.
Yeah.
I don't want Adam Sandler doing prank QAnon.
Never mind.
I want Adam Sandler doing prank QAnon phone calls.
Sure.
Yeah.
So that's important business.
Sure.
Very important to talk about how SNL is making jokes about QAnon that Alex tries to misconstrue
as them making jokes that pedophilia doesn't exist.
Yeah.
Good job.
Yeah.
Things he does are, you know, kind of distasteful too.
I don't, I don't know how to say this, but I found this really repulsive.
Alex plays a video fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
Alex plays video of the pile up it outside Fort Worth.
Oh, that's a giant 100 plus car pile up.
That's fucked.
He plays video that someone captured from like the other lanes.
Yeah.
It's just playing the entire like collision.
It's terrifying and there's no real value to it, but Alex tries to pretend that there
is.
Yeah.
But I want to give you some viewer discretion when we come back.
I don't show horrible tragedies to just show you a horrible tragedy because some people
like a train wreck.
I see this.
I was shown this on Friday by the crew.
I didn't know after 24 hours of this stuff happening at Fort Worth and Dallas of what
really happened.
I'd seen the helicopter footage of a couple hundred cars all piled up.
We come back.
I'm going to show you what really happened from someone on the ground when it happened
up close.
I've never seen anything in a Hollywood movie like this one.
Cars are crashing and flipping and exploding.
Wait till you see on the ground the actual pile up and the reason I'm going to play it
will be explained when we come back.
So viewer discretion advised because people were dying, seven people died on the footage
you're about to see.
And I'm showing it to save some lives and to illustrate something.
Okay.
Let's stop right there.
We're not going to be on air in a year.
And you backed us last year.
I told you that last year you came through.
We made it this year a little bit in the black.
Just don't do it a little bit to be able to keep our projects going.
You don't have to fund some other secret projects we're working on.
Gosh, I could do a lot better if I had more money.
I'm not talking about.
I'm about to show you footage of seven people dying.
Yeah.
Now I need money to stay on air.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This was repulsive.
That is fucked.
I was shocked by the sort of the gross coldness.
Yeah.
The cynicalness of this.
And when he was saying, I'm going to show you what really happened, I was like, are
you trying to say there's a conspiracy here?
He wasn't.
There is no real value to this unless he wants to turn into a road safety show.
Sure.
And then it's still a little bit, first of all, too soon.
I don't think you could use this footage to illuminate any particular finer points of
hazardous driving.
Yeah.
It was just like, there is no reason to play this other than shock value or something.
It's offensive.
Yeah.
I mean, it's it's nakedly exploitative and macabre in a way that like makes you like
it's hard not to think that he gets some sort of like weird fucked up.
Like you know that the people who watched Faces of Death where you're like, there's
something that you get out of this that I'll never understand.
Yeah.
I just won't be there for you.
Yeah.
You know, like that kind of thing.
Yeah.
And it's a deal breaker.
Yeah.
It's a real bad.
Yeah.
So he said that there's a reason and it's going to become clear next segment and this
next clip kind of is him expressing what that reason is, but I would say one, this reason
is stupid.
That's to say.
And second, the connection that he's trying to make, you don't need to watch the video
to get.
I'm showing you footage of Dallas, Texas, a live shot there from top of one of the
little tallest buildings.
You can see it is a icy wasteland.
No one on the streets.
Now, if you're in Chicago or you're in New York, you laugh at that.
You say, hell, we drive all the time.
Well, we're not used to it.
Only happens once or twice a year and hundreds of people die statewide when it unfolds.
And that's a teaching moment.
Americans haven't been under a Hitler.
They haven't been under a Stalin or a Mao or Fidel Castro or a Hugo Chavez.
So what he's trying to illustrate with playing this video is these people in Texas
aren't used to ice driving.
And so there's a giant pile up.
Much like Americans aren't used to dealing with a Hitler or a Stalin.
Yeah.
And the tyranny and therefore we're metaphorically going to have a pile up.
Now, you don't need to watch that video to make that metaphor.
At all.
There's absolutely no reason it doesn't add to your understanding of the metaphor.
Yeah, you could just say it.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
And also, what about fucking Obama?
What about Bill Clinton?
Nothing.
They were fine.
They were they were no big deal.
They weren't working for the devil yet.
I think they were.
According to him, you know, he wasn't comfortable enough talking about it.
He didn't remember that they were also president.
He was trying to pretend he was serious back then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's not good.
No, I'm not like one of those people who says that everybody's the devil.
I'm not like David Ike who will become my best friend in 10 years.
Anyways, we've had about four devil presidents in my time and all of those.
We've never even had to deal with anything new like a Joe Biden.
Right.
I just think I think it was it's the most tenuous connection to make in
order to justify playing this video.
Yeah.
And I don't respect the decision at all.
I think it's disgusting.
And Alex even knows that.
This is on the ground in the other lane.
The radio listeners.
Horrible footage.
You're lucky you're not seeing this.
18 wheeler, 50 miles.
You're lucky you're not seeing this.
It gets worse.
One's going 70 in a minute.
Alex is saying you're lucky you're not seeing this to the radio audience.
Wow.
But he's playing.
I know you could just not know it.
Everybody could be lucky.
Yeah, we could all be lucky right now.
Yeah, I would like to be lucky.
Yeah, don't be like you.
Don't be like you're lucky you're not watching my show.
You're just listening to it.
Yeah.
You don't have to do it.
It doesn't add anything.
It's it was just outrageous.
It's because he wanted to watch it.
I think I think you might be might be on to something.
It has to be something with with that's personal.
I found I found that disgusting and unacceptable.
Much like Alex's thinking patterns.
Oh, that's fair.
So he has decided that thousands are dead from the vaccine already.
When? Why?
Well, for what?
Thousands.
OK, you just says it.
OK, well, then I guess I will move on.
But you got to know this.
OK, it's actually probably 50 times higher.
It's probably 50 times higher.
And we've now confirmed that.
OK, so I have a stack of news here where there are thousands
of dead admitted and I think about one in 50 adverse reactions
gets reported.
So if thousands are dead, that's 50 times bigger.
No one knows from the vaccines.
So can you can you identify like just really quickly?
If like it's on a surface level, the problem with that thinking?
No, no, I don't see any problem.
If there's some, then there's probably 50 times more.
That means it's proven.
Right. Yep.
This is dumb.
I mean, like if you were to if I were listening to a professor
again at school, right?
And I was in a lecture and they said something like that.
I would not trust them to teach the rest of the class.
I might withdraw.
Yeah. Yeah.
I wouldn't be real confident in a math class where they were like, OK,
what's one plus one?
But remember, one is probably 50 or it could be more or it could be fewer.
No one knows. Who knows?
And I might be making up the one.
And guess what? That one is the devil.
Yeah. Yikes. Yeah.
Not good. So that that's the kind of thinking that Alex brings to the table.
Just making assumptions and then multiplying things by whatever numbers he chooses.
Yeah, whatever he feels good about today.
And then the other thing he does is just make
shit up like he does about this US News and World Reports article.
Let's get to the good news first.
Because it's very, very important.
The McRibbit Pentagon touts vaccine.
Administration rate amid concerns of widespread refusal,
US News and World Report.
It goes on to say that the vast majority of the troops
are refusing the vaccine because it's voluntary.
They try to statistical manipulation.
They go, oh, but we did get a certain group that would said they'd take it.
And out of that group, 80 plus percent did take it.
So what do you do when the vast majority won't take it?
Ninety eight percent.
You take the group that will take it and then say, oh,
let's say, oh, 80 plus percent of them, 82 percent did.
82 percent. That's the statistical game they play.
Alex absolutely has not read this article about the troops and vaccinations.
He's claiming that the article says that there's a subsection of troops,
82 percent of whom have received the vaccine.
That's the statistical game.
Alex claims this article is playing.
The stat of 82 percent is actually in reference to the percentage of vaccines
the Pentagon has received that have been administered from the article.
Quote, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters
the department has so far ordered more than one million doses.
And as of Thursday morning had received roughly 968,000 of those 800,000
or about 82 percent have been administered.
Almost 600,000 were first doses and more than 200,000 were second doses.
So they just seen the number and made up what it means.
So they took the small subset of people,
otherwise known as the people who possibly could have gotten it
and they're manipulating those numbers to say that those people did get it.
I don't. And then the people outside of those numbers, well, they didn't get it.
No, Alex has just skimmed the article, seen numbers and written a story
in his head about what those numbers mean. Yeah. This is what he does.
He's really, really bad at this. Yeah.
I can't believe people actually take him seriously.
Yeah, he does. He does seem to play mad libs and then search articles
for like numbers to circle and be like, what if I put 82 percent here?
Yeah. Oh, it's great, too, because if you watch the video,
he's got like 82 percent underline. Of course he does.
Yes, that's exactly what he does.
He goes through articles and just underlines the numbers.
Like I do did it.
That's how I saw the underlined 82 percent.
He's like, I got to figure out what I think that means.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What could that 82 percent be?
You got to rip that out. Possibly read a sentence.
Can't be bothered to do that kind of work.
That's very hard.
Yeah, as we make some more shit about this article,
you just saw in US News and World Report, I mean, the military, these evil people.
I mean, you heard, you can't trust them from Joe Biden.
They said pregnant women shouldn't take it because the British military should.
They shouldn't.
They were the ones to start it before the US military.
British military said, yeah, pregnant women shouldn't take it.
We had a bunch of miscarriages.
Oh, oh, but you don't say that in US News and World Report.
You just say the US military, the rank and file, pull that out of their ass,
didn't you? This is me off. Excuse me.
The pregnancy stuff is so we covered on a past episode, so I don't want to get
too bogged down in here.
But this is just another instance of Alex making more shit up about this article
because he hasn't read it and he's just using it as a prop to get mad about.
If Alex had actually read the article, we would have found this quote
from Air Force Brigadier General Paul Fredericks.
Quote, are we seeing people who are declining to it?
Yes, I've had people say that for a variety of reasons.
They're pregnant, which is a very reasonable concern.
They want to talk to their doctor first, very reasonable concern.
So there are people who said they don't want to get it.
This whole article is actually a big problem for Alex's narratives because
he's been insistent that the vaccine is mandatory or it's going to be mandatory.
But the fact that the military is allowing enlisted persons to decide
if they want to get it or not makes him have to change the subject.
Because the thing he was making his audience afraid about didn't happen.
He now has to pivot to making it look like the enlisted persons
who don't get the vaccine are somehow being maligned, which this article doesn't support.
He didn't read it.
No one listening is going to read it.
So this technique works perfectly.
It's all just meaningless, though.
Yes, just like it might as well not to do this.
Yeah.
And with the military, that thing is your most people aren't going to look into it.
And for most people, I would imagine that there makes a certain sort of like sense
that, well, the military would be mandated to get it because they're the military.
And that's that's the perception that Alex goes with.
Exactly.
And that's what you can you because most people wouldn't even follow up
on that, especially not Alex's listeners.
They'd be like, yeah, the military is forced to do everything.
Yeah. So in this next clip, Alex claims to have some information
that he does not produce, which means he's making it up.
Yeah. I got so many adverse reaction death reports.
I got over 200 up right here in just the last three days in the US alone.
They shoot old people up.
They're dead in 15 minutes in many cases.
Well, I mean, folks, here's the thing.
I used to be worried about stuff because I wanted to win the fight.
I was worried about my family and everything.
Oh, things are so crazy now.
This thing's going to go on long.
Whatever's going on, whatever's happening, the number of people they're killing,
whatever's going on, baby, we ain't never seen nothing like this.
This is big.
I thought they put something in there killing five years.
Oh, no, they don't kill your ass right now.
So yeah, I mean, if you have these these two hundred bunch, you talk about
any of them doesn't produce any. Yeah. Yeah.
I would I would I would argue that I mean, you know,
if you just say something and you don't prove it or demonstrate it at all,
I can just ignore it.
Yeah, especially something that when tied to your other rhetoric
is, I guess, licensed to go murder whomever you want, right?
Because they're killing you in 15 minutes.
They're killing your grandma right now in 15 minutes, Dan.
Well, you thought you were going to have a lovely five years to like hold
your grandfather's hand as she dies from the government murder vaccine.
But now you don't even have that much time.
The only comfort I really take is hoping that people who listen to this
would ask themselves at some point, does Alex actually read the things he talks
about and look into it?
And then that might erode public confidence in his dumb ass.
I could.
So a lot of the times when Alex is just rambling about something on air,
it's something that our old friend, Paul Joseph Watson, has written it.
And Paul has struck again.
Oh, some of that news links to BBC.
UK government could grant vaccine exemptions to ethnic minorities.
I heard this a few months ago in MPR.
Well, black people are dumb.
You know, we're liberals.
We can say that there.
Did the UK say that shots?
They just they're like the US military.
They're dumb.
You know, they just they just don't trust us.
And so we're going to have vaccine waivers for them.
All right.
But they won't be able to leave their house or have a job, you know, how they are.
But white people, you're going to take.
So show the black people not to be scared and you roll up your sleeve and take a shot.
This is just a total attack by these criminals to cover up Jeffrey Epstein
and whoa, all the corruption, the banking and the derivatives of the scams
of the dollar implosion and the New World Order and the rigging and the cloning
and the until they just want to make the whole world hellish with mask on
and checkpoints and passports.
So you forget all the crimes they committed and don't do anything about it.
It's a dumb plan.
It's a dumb, dumb plan.
Boy, it is hard not to think about what would have happened if you
and all of your right wing lunatic, dumb, dumb friends had decided
to take this whole fucking thing seriously way back in February of last year.
Dan, well, I think they did take it too seriously.
I'm sorry, I apologize in March of last year.
Would have been it.
It would have been interesting.
Would have been interesting.
So quick point, there is no link to the BBC and Paul's article.
There's a link to a story in the spectator and one in Sky News.
The Sky News article says nothing about exemptions.
But what Paul does is he cherry picks a very minor side point in the
spectator article, which he then turns into his headline because it has
the potential to help boost white victim hood feelings.
This is an editorial column and one of the concerns it raises with the idea
of vaccine passports being required for travel is according to this column,
vaccine skepticism is higher in non-white communities in the UK.
Sure, it's really interesting how Paul works here.
Paul takes this quote from the Sky News article.
Quote, a government insider stressed there's nervousness about when such
a system will even be announced publicly, let alone rolled out for use.
If you read the article, it does seem to be implied that the nervousness
in question is about the vaccine's efficacy and not moving too fast.
However, here's how Paul uses that line.
Quote, part of this nervousness is based around the perception that
mandating mandating vaccines for travel could be seen as racist because
suspicion of vaccines and poor inoculation rates are commonplace within BAME communities.
He's taken the concerns raised by the editorial in the spectator and applied
them to the quote from the Sky News article without in any way demonstrating
that the two are connected at all.
No, no, they're connected.
This is Paul just kind of making things up in order to justify writing a blog
post about white identity fears that Alex can then report on in a super
racist way on air because that's what their audience needs to stay interested.
Yeah, I do appreciate the real lack of effort that went into that for Paul.
You know, like it is, it is always real, you know, heartwarming to know
that some people wake up at nine, go to work and they're done at 10.
You know, it's just nice to know that that's a, that's a dream that
somebody can accomplish, you know?
Yeah, and so transparent about it.
Yeah, that's not very, very weak.
So not good.
So so far, I think we've seen just a real tragedy of a show.
We've seen real sad.
Alex play a car crash, which is makeup nonsense about a couple articles.
I didn't drive through a snow storm and I'd storm for no reason.
I'm going to deliver the goods because I'm alive and I'm not backing down.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare war on Satan.
Boo. Good work.
Yeah. You know what?
Four out of ten, four out of ten, maybe.
I would argue that this is a good teaching moment as well for Alex.
All right.
Now, I understand that we're not going to get anywhere with the coronavirus
with him. It's too, we're too far gone for that.
But let me toss this out for you, Dan.
If there were fewer cars on the road during an ice storm,
don't you think that would be better at preventing accidents?
Yes. Right.
So perhaps if Alex wanted to do his part to prevent accidents,
he could have stayed home and done the show remotely.
Now, do you understand how those things might be a connected?
I understand the metaphor that you're making, but I'd also like to say
he did come in.
You see, now that is the problem that we're having all across the board.
It is. It's an issue.
So when Alex comes back from break after that pathetic growl,
very fake, very long, passionless growl.
Yeah.
He starts complaining about how people think that he supported Trump
because it somehow is good for his business.
Now, I know that I've heard him a hundred times say that his traffic
went up ridiculously once he started to get in with Trump and all that.
It was really good for his business.
No, no, no, he'd hurt his business.
He was persecuted.
Sure. Alex was persecuted.
I got persecuted for supporting Trump.
You got persecuted for supporting Trump, but we're not losers
because we supported President Trump.
He really won that.
Election.
And I don't just say that if he lost, I'd say he lost.
I'd still say we have a Chinese agent in charge.
I don't lie to myself.
OK, I didn't even ask 10 years old, but not since about then.
I want to know what's really going on.
That's what gives me an effectiveness in my life.
Read that US News and World Report article, then.
That's a good starting point.
I would. I would argue he really wants to know what's not going on.
Or he doesn't want to know what is going on.
Yes. Yeah.
He desperately needs not to know what's going on to avoid what's going on.
Yeah, in order to make this work for business, which is why you support Trump.
Yeah, but there's bad news about Trump.
But it's bad news mixed with good news. OK.
But it's all bad news. OK.
But maybe it's good news. All right.
Trump is basically bankrupt.
He's not just lost two billion out of the inside baseball.
They've got four or five thousand lawsuits against him.
But you know, he's a treated man.
He's actually stronger than ever.
And he understands that.
And if more men were like President Trump,
if more men were like the supporters of this broadcast,
and I mean that, it would be in this position,
but he understands leadership like Colonel Travis did at the Alamo.
Drunkenly. Travis knew he was going to be killed.
He sent that final letter. He knew what was about to happen.
But he couldn't back down because he believed the cause and he signed on to it.
He wasn't suicidal.
I can't get out of here.
So much like Jesus Christ said, he was one to lay it down for others.
So that's what this comes down to.
Colonel Travis had nowhere else to go.
No, no, no, no, he had nowhere else to go.
Trump may have nowhere else to go.
That's probably true.
So Trump put out a little statement about the impeachment acquittal.
Did he? Yeah.
And Alex, Alex has kind of pissed off that no one's reading the full statement.
Oh, isn't that nice?
So nowhere do you really see the president's statement?
You hear he made one, but you don't really.
It may be a line here, a line there.
Let's read the whole thing together right now.
It's beautiful what he said.
And it's totally true.
National follow up the story.
It's up at info wars.com.
President Trump released a statement on second impeachment acquittal.
President Trump, through the office of the former president,
was a statement celebrating his second Senate impeachment acquittal.
Damn right.
He's the man in the arena.
I go, oh, look, he's under attack.
You're like, oh, Jones, you're under attack.
Oh, boy, they're coming after you.
What do you think I did?
You think I did this not to be attacked?
You think I did this because I don't expect a war.
Oh, people don't get when I'm talking to our enemies.
You think I just want to line my pockets and sit around with you
in some country club?
That I do think.
Yes, I agree without fighting evil.
I feel alive.
I feel strong.
You understand that you can put a gun to my head.
I'm not back it down.
You dumb sons of bitches.
Back down.
Shadowgate.
I don't want to be with you.
You've got to stop reading the statement.
It's a real shame that no one's reading the Trump statement.
I do.
I do appreciate that it does.
It does appear that for most of the world,
we're finally past like having to deal with stuff.
He says on the daily.
Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah, everybody.
Everybody enjoys that.
I had.
I have personally some trouble whenever I see too much of him.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't want.
I don't want people that I would normally think of as saying
to talk about him and not because I want exclusive domain
over Alex.
No, no, no, no.
I just don't think it's worth it.
No, no, no.
Yeah, I don't.
This is a problem for us, too.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't value my own time, but I value other people's time.
Save yourselves.
We're too far gone.
Yeah.
This all means nothing.
Yeah, we're not the people who hide a zombie bite.
We have a zombie bite.
Kick us out of the mall.
We're not supposed to be there.
We'll be on the roof.
So Alex does get around to reading the statement.
And I will say, I think he reads it in full,
but he does add some commentary.
And some of it is a little bit ridiculous.
No president has ever gone through anything like it.
And that's true.
That's the key.
And it continues because our opponents
cannot forget the almost 75 million people way more
than that, the greatest number ever for the sitting president
who voted us just a few months ago.
And that's the thing.
Trump had victory.
It's there even though they lie about it, folks.
He won those other six states by half a point or less.
He won them by five points on average.
You understand that that's like it's way more than quadruple
the number of victory numbers.
That's why they're crapping their bridges.
That's more than quadruple the number of victory numbers.
Yeah.
Kind of feels a lot like that 50 times
the amount of imaginary vaccine deaths.
That doesn't sound like a reasonable number
for someone to toss out there.
I feel like Alex doesn't know much about numbers.
Math?
No.
Anything?
No.
Very little.
So he gets to complaining about SNL.
And of course, this leads into him yelling a bit
about abuse towards children.
Sure.
Sure.
I don't respect his position on the issue.
Man, I got a lot of complaints about SNL.
I think we can let that one go.
I don't think we need to worry about that.
There's really not any reason to engage.
So that's one break.
And then he comes back.
And I want to tell you.
He's not killing time.
I would argue even mentioning SNL
on your apparently political talk show would be killing time.
Well, that, you know, debatable if it's killing time.
Sure.
This next minute, definitely not.
This sounds like it's going to be.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Alex Jones here back live.
Two more segments left than Owen Schroyer,
if he can get here in this snowstorm.
We can run a rebroadcast if he can or just loop this show.
M4WarsLive six to eight Sunday nights is coming up.
If Owen can get here.
You guys call him and see if he can get here
because it is just insane.
Yes.
Who's hosting?
Ask him to come to work.
Oh my gosh, Tom Pappert.
Emperor Palpatine, the son.
He's like a hundredth generation clone of Palpatine.
Because you know that happened a long time ago
in a galaxy far, far away.
Tom Pappertine.
Oh, you don't know about Star Wars?
Great, great, great, great, great, great, great.
Thousands of clone is going to be hosting
the show after the broadcast.
You don't want to miss it.
All right, I have a lot of stuff to hit here.
In fact, I've got too much material.
It's not like I'm stalling out because I don't have information
to cover here with 25 minutes left to go.
It's because this is surreal.
I mean, it is.
It's just surreal.
There's too much.
There's too much.
Got a riff on Tom Pappert's name being similar to Palpatine.
Yep, yep.
For a bit.
What a dick.
What a dick.
People dying outside.
People dying outside.
Let's see if Owen can get to work.
Yeah.
Great.
Good boss.
Good boss.
Love working for you, buddy.
I'll say for what I would expect of Alex as a boss,
the fact that he's like, we can go to rebroadcast
if he can't get in.
That's true.
That's true.
That almost seems like that's how it's being kind of a stand
up guy.
Yeah, yeah, that is.
That is going to be like, no, he gets here now or he's fired.
Yeah, but that is also a scrooge being
like you get Christmas off.
Like, I guess that's nice.
So he's not killing time.
Maybe he's killing some time.
OK.
So here's the video of the granny being thrown off the cliff.
So he plays this video that's a guy rolling a woman
in a wheelchair through a park.
And then it ends with him dumping her off a cliff.
So it is like that Conan O'Brien, Walker, Texas Ranger
sketch.
It's, well, there's a little bit of, well, I mean,
there's some racial undertones for Alex.
God damn it.
Look at her fighting back that old white lady, old racist.
Get rid of her.
Yeah, there we go.
Ah, good.
Never on.
Oh, liberal.
This video is a campaign ad that was targeting Paul Ryan
because he was going to take away Medicare.
This is at least a two-year-old ad
that was against the GOP that Alex was playing
against some kind of attack on liberals or something.
Boo this man.
Boo this man.
Boo.
I was like, this is surreal.
And Alex clearly hadn't watched it in advance.
He just knew it was an old lady getting
dumped out of a wheelchair because he looks pretty
surprised when the thing comes up and it says call Paul.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
Hold on one second.
Oh boy.
Yeah.
So Alex, you know, he's, he's, he's, he's in a bit
of a fatalistic mood.
You know, he already said earlier that, you know,
we might not be here next year.
Fuck that.
We might not be here tomorrow.
I got a final segment, a bunch of news I want to hit.
I'm loaded for bear on that.
But I'll just tell you all this, ladies and gentlemen,
it's been a great pleasure to be on air with you.
I don't know how long I'm going to be here.
Things are so bad.
Things are moving so fast that I'm not even sure we'll
be here tomorrow, the next week or next year.
It's all up to God right now, but the bottom fell out.
And it's just they're euthanizing the old people.
I mean, we've got probably 5% death rates at nursing homes
to take the shot and they're, they've successfully
covered up most areas.
OK, that's a ridiculous number.
All right.
OK, hold on.
Even then, he had just make up numbers like that.
No, no.
But even then, what's the current bet?
Never mind.
I don't even know.
So just stop, stop, just stop.
One of the things I think is interesting
is Alex is talking pretty fatalistically.
He's talking a lot of we're gone.
We're done.
It looks like Blampy is back in play.
Now I won't say that I'm falling for it again
or anything like that.
I'm thinking that he's, he's talking for real.
But I do need to tell you this and I do think it's important.
What's that?
He's playing a lot of doors.
He's playing a lot of songs by the doors.
All right.
His bumper music.
So he's in a mood.
There's a lot of like, this is the end, my friend.
You know, a lot of those sorts of songs.
All right.
And it honestly bums me out mostly
because I don't like the doors, but also it has like such a
scent, like the mood of the music that he's playing.
Yeah.
On a very regular basis, like multiple coming in
from commercials per show.
A little more than our, yeah, our door songs.
Oh boy.
He has the tone of a dirge.
Okay.
All right.
Let's see how this goes.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just, I think I will say that if it doesn't end soon
and he keeps playing the doors, I'm going to be pissed.
You know, one thing that I realized after the impeachment
trial was that I, I don't think that's the appropriate
punishment and I think the same thing for Alex.
I don't think the appropriate punishment is to like take
him off the air.
I don't think the appropriate punishment for Trump is to take
him away from politics or anything.
They should have no money, zero money, take their money.
If the impeachment trial was like, yeah, sure.
Run for office again with nothing.
How about broke?
I think if people do things that have civic or civil
penalties, by all means, they should be sued and, and what
have you.
And I don't, I don't want Mike, what I'm about to say to be
like, no, don't sue Alex.
Like people who he has wrong.
Sure.
Sure.
But I think that I'm not particularly concerned with
him having money or not having money.
I'm concerned about the impact that he can have.
Sure.
Sure.
I think a far greater punishment for him is the
illumination and explanation of how bullshit everything he
does is right and how he's basically defrauding people
with the posture of like some guy who's against the system when
all he really is is a fucking idiot.
Right.
And I want to take away the thing he cares about most.
Memories of Colonel Travis.
I'll take those two.
If I could sue him for those, I would.
So this show has been largely devoid of meaning.
No, no, no, SNL.
Well, and there's some more pop culture grievance.
Sure.
Because Alex has found a video of Run DMC, Run DMC, the current
current current stars, current stars, Run DMC.
They did a little song about the vaccine.
Okay.
And Alex is not happy about it.
All right.
Run DMC members now put out this.
I guess the money must be good.
This type of garbage.
And I got something even sicker.
Here it is.
Look, I think that there's plenty of valid criticisms about this song.
Oh, do you mean that it's great that it's too good for the rest of us?
This isn't this isn't really my territory to critique too much.
But I will say that Alex was far less critical of Mike Adams rap career.
Yeah, that's fair.
That is fair.
Weird Ebola rap songs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's weird Ebola rap songs.
I mean, I respect what they're doing.
It's tough to hear an after school special from DMC.
It is tough to hear a PSA.
I just, I don't really know.
I don't know.
It just seems weird that Alex would care that much.
Why?
Why?
Because he's filling fucking time.
Right.
No, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, he's got nothing.
Like this is what he spends his other time with at the end of the show.
And Bill Gates says he wants to populate you.
You're going to take your shots.
Here it is.
What if Bill Gates disappeared?
No problem.
I will buy many gates and solve the problem.
Alex plays a video from like a YouTube channel called on some, I believe on some.
And it's like it's for kids.
It's an educational video for kids.
And they they have a big series of videos of what would happen if blank disappeared.
Uh-huh.
And so they like one of the recent ones was what would happen if the year 2016 disappeared?
What would happen if numbers disappeared?
Okay.
And it's like animations for kids.
And there's one about what would happen if Bill Gates disappeared.
And some of it is like, well, he's a big philanthropist.
So a lot of that money would be gone.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
And then the last one I think is like, Warren Buffett would miss his best friend.
It's like, why are you commenting on this stupid video?
Because that's the first thing that he can engage with on a equal footing.
Yeah.
It's it's it's embarrassing.
Um, it's for kids.
It's I mean, I'm not even I'm look.
I'm not going to say that that doesn't have a have a kind of propaganda feel to it.
I'm not going to say that making a video where you're like, what if Bill Gates was gone
that didn't also include like, well, it's possible that his money would be
shuffled back into the economy and put into places where maybe he doesn't have half of it.
Sure.
He's a philanthropist, but maybe he's still got $20 billion and he should go fuck himself.
That might be complicated for children.
It might be a little bit difficult.
I accept the point that you're making.
This is not the critique that Alex has.
No, that's true.
Uh, yeah.
Hey, I get what you're saying.
I hear I hear, um, it being a little bit weird, but it's also a giant public figure.
Yeah, totally.
I know, of course.
I, I don't know.
I didn't watch the whole thing, but the stuff that Alex plays is just like, all right, this
isn't like Bill Gates is our God.
Yeah, like, yeah, you know what?
If he went more like a Starship troopers route where he's like,
doesn't it seem a little bit weird that we're making these kind of campaign videos that
lionize these types of public figures when what we should be doing is talking about the
issues and policies and stuff like that?
But even then he's talking about a kid's video.
Put that look at Trump ads.
No, I know.
Of course that argument cuts both directions.
Of course.
That's never stopped him before.
True.
I don't know.
I just, you know, I was, I was feeling like there wasn't much happening here, but there
was a lot happening.
You know, like it was really disgusting.
Um, the, the, you know, playing of the, the crash, um, the, the, the going right into
an ad after talking about it and so much of this vaccine nonsense is, is, uh, sad.
Um, and, uh, you know, it really makes you think, uh, that this is how he ends the show.
I will now go into an incredible gauntlet of frozen roads and road warrior level crashes
to get back to my family and hopefully back tomorrow at Lebanon central for the live broadcast.
Want to thank the crew for a great job.
Coming up on the other side on the info wars network stream is Tom Pappert of nationalfile.com.
There's no reason that he needed to come in at all.
Nope.
Tom Pappert is in, uh, you know, he's not, he's not in Texas.
Nope.
Like he does it remotely.
Alex could have just set up a little cam at his house.
It wouldn't have been hard.
No need.
No need.
This is all for nothing.
Yep.
There's all the waste just to get out of the house on Valentine's Day.
Yep.
All right.
Okay.
Oh, also they debuted and I don't know if it was debuted, but this first time I saw it,
there was a new commercial for my Patriot supply and Alex is at their warehouse that
is in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Okay.
That's why he went to Utah.
That's why he went to Utah to cut a clip.
Oh, what a dick.
Yeah.
He's, he's there at the warehouse.
He's shooting promos?
Yeah.
What an asshole.
I think that must have been why he went or at least part of it.
Yeah.
Maybe it's, maybe it's, you know,
Yeah.
Killed two birds with one stone.
You're already there.
But that's at least part of it.
Yeah.
That explains why like, I mean, look, again, I love you, Utah, but not the number one
vacation destination necessarily.
So yeah, he was, I, I don't have any clips of it because it's just them talking about
how great the food is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
Although there, there is a kind of funny part where he's like, you know what,
that's like, that's a little bit like if you were to say, Hey, all you viewers or all
you listeners, you're lucky not to be watching this video right now, but instead you just
didn't play it, Dan.
True.
True.
Think about that.
Restraint.
Yeah.
Um, did you know that if you get my Patriots play stuff and you open up one of those buckets?
What's that?
You gotta be careful.
You might not be able to get it closed because there's so much food in it.
They say that like three times.
It's all just one, it's all just a muffin.
Like you pull it up and then it pops out and they're like, haha, it's a big muffin.
You can eat it forever.
I would be charmed by that.
Um, so yeah, I don't know, I don't, I found this episode to be a little frustrating.
No, it's great.
A little trivial children's videos, run DMC vaccine songs, SNL complaining, like everything
just seems so trivial.
I feel like it's trivial stuff is happening.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that I think that Alex on some level didn't have as much skin in the game with
the impeachment as you might have thought he might.
Yeah.
And then the spin of they just played clips of Democrats saying stuff and how do you defend
against that?
Right.
Uh, as if that was legally relevant.
Yeah, no kidding.
And I think that works for him.
