I love you
Hey everybody
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,400
I'm Jordan
We're a couple dudes
like to sit around
to acknowledge the beverages
and talk a little bit
about Alex Jones
Oh, indeed we are, Dan
Jordan
Jordan
Quick question for you
What's up?
Shut up
Oh, shit
That's a trick, Daddy
Now we're doing a different show
Immediately we just skip
into a different show
What's up?
Rebix
Rebix Knowledge Fight
Uh-oh
Y'all thought you were
coming for Alex Jones
One of my two favorite things
that what's up
Shut up
Another one is the
Hey, you know
What's your favorite
ice cream flavor?
Jordan
I'm serious
What's your favorite
ice cream flavor?
It doesn't matter
What's your
The rock
You're going to ask
what my bright spot is
Jordan
Yes, what is your bright spot?
Today my bright spot
is we're checking in
on the Hot Sauce of the
Month Club
that policy wonk
Lisa signed us up for
This month
I was a little late
getting over to the box
because of snow
and schedule and stuff
But this month
we got the Slow Death
Hot Sauce
and
this is
this is good
It's good
This is quite good
For now
you don't know
what's going to happen later
It's the Slow Death
I might die slowly
You don't know
how slow it is
It's very hot
but it also is a
Trinidad Scorpion Pepper
Okay
based sauce
and I like the flavor
of that
What kind of hot
Now that I'm a hot sauce guy too
Taste a little bit
Let's talk
I'm not ready for that
You said very hot
Nothing comfortable
with very hot
I can handle it
Sure
but not before
the show is over
It might
it might
make things go down
a strange path
You can try some
after the show
It's pretty good
I like it a bit
I could use it
I could see myself
using it for
like dipping chicken
maybe
or adding to a sauce
Nice little
kick it up a little
Throw a little
in some soup
Maybe a little
meat sauce
Put a little
hot sauce in there
Sure
Why not
Yeah
What's your favorite flavor
spaghetti?
I don't know
It doesn't matter
What's your favorite
Okay
You have to interrupt
You understand
You're too fast
So what's your bright spot
My bright spot
Dan
is
We were talking about this
earlier today
My bright spot is
the Chris Gethard
show
Oh sure
As you and I have
spoken
back to our early seasons
We have spoken about this
show so much
and you know
I'm a huge fan
obviously
Chris Gethard
has talked about me
through the medium of money
like some sort of indentured servitude
You thought your book was in Barnes & Noble
Yes
And we've developed a great friendship
Yes, absolutely
But
Yeah, no
I've been starting so many projects
I've been trying to find something new
to like really sink my teeth into
and watching the Chris Gethard show
and just that like
unfettered creativity of it all
is very inspiring
and it's like
don't give up on doing weird shit
Yeah, it's good
to reconnect with that
Yeah
Like that sort of mentality
Absolutely
And that whole like
We're a public access show
We know no one's watching
That's why we're free
Yeah
You know
That's something beautiful about it
that embracing of like
No, we're not trying to get famous
or anything like this
It's really interesting too
to consider that both
Chris Gethard
and Alex Jones
grew out of public access too
That is interesting
Yes
The two people
who affect my life most today
To very divergent
individuals
Very different paths
They have been
Yeah, a little bit
Both of them started at UCB
That's true
No, no
Alex was a ground link
Oh, that's right
Sorry, my bad
So Jordan
Today
we've got an interesting thing to go over
We're talking about Friday
of last week
It's February 19th
Blackjack
I think that counts
You got 2020
I think we gotta
We're gonna leave that to the judges
Okay
The judges in the audience
will determine
I think the only question
is whether or not
I finished the 21
I think you started
before I finished
and that's why I stopped
I think
Anyway, it's Friday of last week
This episode is nuts
Okay
I imagine so
Yeah
Power's back on
Okay
Pretty much in the Enforced studio
although maybe it's running on generators
It's unclear
Alex is really, really mad
He is really mad
Well, yeah
Yeah
He has a lot of breakdowns
on this episode
and some will be fun to laugh at
and discuss what he's lying about
in order to get himself
in the place where he can
Yeah
freak out
Yeah
But before we cover this episode
Jordan, let's take a moment to say thank you
to some folks who have signed up
on our sporting show
That's a great idea
So first, I like his name a lot
It's an affirmation

I'm a policy wonk
Thank you very much, Heather
And I'd like to give
a little technocrat
shout out to
someone who I think
has two aliases
This is just one
shout out
Right
Two
two names
So, it's
Old Dirty
Dirt McGirt
Oh, Dirt McGirt
Old Dirty Chinese
Rebellious
Yeah, I was gonna say
Yeah, how many
Is he back?
No, knock, knock
You busted
Oh, okay
One of our first bits
Way back on the show
One of the beginnings
Yeah
Who's there?
Uh-oh
I don't remember
how this bit goes
And then
Yes, thank you
very much
You're now a technocrat
I'm a policy wonk
Crikey, mate
That's fantastic
Have yourself a brew
How's your 401k doing, bro?
All right, we gotta go full
tilt buggy on this
Watson, all right?
Let's just get down to business
We ain't making that money
off that heroin
Why are you pimp so good?
My neck is freakishly large
I declare
Info War on you
Yes, thank you so much
to the both of you
Yes, thank you so much
to the both of you
It's very complicated
to know
So, Jordan
What's that?
Shut up
I'm a little silly today
You're a little punch drunk
You know what the deal is?
You're a little dancy
I've had very little sleep
because the neighbors downstairs
have been partying
Oh, I got you
And I'm a little bit on fumes
I'm a little bit loose
Right
My connection with the
present is tenuous
You've got a runner's high
A little bit
I think that there are some college
students who live downstairs
And
I will text you and complain
about this every now and again
Yeah, man
I can hear them yell singing
through the floor
So they'll just be like singing
wet-ass pussy
Yeah, yeah
This sucks
I'm waiting for you to get a saw
and just get a whole circle in the top of your...
I've thought about it
Drop it down
I'm inches away from old man
stomping on the floor
but I just can't do it
And I feel right
knocking on the door
because of COVID
I don't want to...
Anyway
You're going to need a broom
That's why I'm a little silly
But the good news is Alex isn't in
like a totally centered
presence of mind himself
on this episode
So we kind of match energies
We're all...
We're all playing in a level playing field
Yeah, here's an Out of Context drop from today's show
That's why we're in this position
where there's a bunch of lawyers
a bunch of candy-ass lawyers
covering their ass so much
the Chinese are running the tables on us
get ready to nuke our ass
because you little chicken-net-american
hating bastards
have taken over the damn country
Ahhhh
Brava
Brava
If I were Alex in the position he's in right now
I think I'd probably hate lawyers too
Yeah, yeah, I believe it
You know what? I like this
I like getting back to where we should be
which is everybody hating on lawyers
It's been a while since everybody's
really agreed to just hate lawyers
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it used to be what we did
in our early 90s, late 90s
I remember Jurassic Park
Oh, everybody hated lawyers
Lawyers were more of a villain in Jurassic Park
than the dinosaurs
Exactly, exactly!
That's the whole thing
Yeah, I don't know
Alex is in a weird state
So Alex starts the show
by talking about how like
maybe I shouldn't do the show
Which is nice
That's a good way to say it
It's always a good sign
for the show that's about to happen
You know, I learned something
during the Trump administration
I had never tried to be in L.A.
or be in New York or be in D.C.
and to be, you know
around the power
I had never
tried to go be a sycophant
and in the system
But I noticed very early on
they would work around the clock
to try to make sure
that I didn't have access to the president
or access to anybody
high-level government because
I always just thought
inform the public about things
and then that would percolate up
into government and into governance
and then we would be able to
stand up against tyranny
and take action against the globalist
But it's a balance
It's a balance
You also need to target
obviously people that are in a power structure
and I'm almost tempted right now
with the news I have
that I've been working on the last hour
to just not do the show today
it probably would be better
if I just call Tucker Carlson
call Steven Crowder
call Roger Stone
and try to get on the phone with Trump
because I can get on the phone
if I need to
I'm not putting the audience down
we cover so much hardcore stuff here
but we're here every day
no one kind of takes it serious
we just drop bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb
but familiarity breeds contempt
and I get it
I have contempt for myself too
I don't realize how important we are
and the great work we've done
I understand that
this is an interesting headspace
that is a startling number of words
for a very simple concept to express
yeah, yeah
other people have better reach than I do
I think I need to probably
I could do better
but it is also like
really shitting on the audience
it's really like
my job
you guys are so used to me being the best
you don't even give a shit how great I am
you're a bunch of asshole
you've gotten soft because I'm so good
you don't even have to try
I wish I was worse at my job
so you guys would have to raise your level
if only I killed time
most of the time
and then dropped a bomb every now and again
you would know to amplify that bomb
exactly, exactly
that's my problem
uh
also why do you need to hold a Trump
he's not the president anymore
no, he's the president
he's the president
he's the secret president
it's very strange, very strange
you ever been at a comedy show Dan where
for whatever reason the host
has just like
their opening set was just something really weird
and everybody in the audience in all of the comics
got the vibe of like
this is gonna be a weird show
that's not gonna change
this just happened
it doesn't matter that there's an hour and twenty minutes left
for the next hour and a half it's gonna be weird
yeah, you've set the energy
exactly
you could dig out of the hole and we might have some enjoyable
whatever
but it's still gonna be weird
it's gonna be, yeah
it's gonna be strange
this is what I'm hearing right now
yeah, and you hear it a lot too
like this tone of like
I don't even want to do the show anymore
but it's particularly severe on this episode
that's what I'm saying
distance makes the heart grow fond
familiarity breeds contempt
a contempt
so I'm gonna go to re-broadcast for a while
we're gonna get real re-ready to shoot the show
go live here today
and then
I may not do the show today
just because this is too important
I won't do it
have the smoking gun
absolute
total
complete
master plan of the enemy
we have them
by the short hairs completely
and no one is gonna care
it's always the same
it's always the same
all of you listeners
I bring light
the evil conspiracies of the globalist
I give you all their plans
that nothing happens
I've got to call Tucker Carlson at Stephen Crowder
I'm gonna be honest with you
I don't think that familiarity
always breeds contempt
you know what does though?
contempt
really?
when Alex shows this contempt for his audience
that would breed contempt
I would also argue
continually starting the show with
my news is too big for me to do the show
is something too familiar for me not to be
contemptuous about
yes yes there's a lot of
there's a lot of intersections of familiarity and contempt
in this equation
so yeah Alex freaks out
he's just screaming
how he wants to quit
sure
to tell you we're gonna
we had to get back in the new studio today
we weren't quite ready to launch
it's okay
don't blame the crew
that's okay it's gonna give me some time
while they get set up and ready
to go and to prepare my broadcast
because here's the deal
I'm not just gonna sit here
and put this information out
and just have it nothing happen
I'll quit today
I want to walk away from this place
so bad
do it do it
because we have all the evidence
of what the enemy's done and
I don't know why people don't have an instinct to victory
but it's incredible
it was bleeped out
he didn't say no one gives a shit
he is very mad
he is pretty mad
I do
I mean there's something
there's something weirdly noble
about the tenacity he has
because
every other human being I think on the planet
would at a certain point go like
well I've seen every other major news organization
release huge information
and then change the world
and I think I've done that
literally every day for my entire career
and not once have I changed the world
yeah
perhaps it is me
yeah
maybe my radar is busted
maybe I can't tell what's big news
maybe it's me
maybe I should look a little bit harder
at the stories I cover
nope
nope
it's everybody else's fault forever
I just gotta get so mad
the end
it's everyone else's fault always
and one of the things I really love about his broadcast style
when he gets into these moods is like
he doesn't say what the news is
yeah why would he
it's too big
he can't handle it
I enjoy that
he's busy being petulant
I enjoy that because it's really the tell
that this is performance
yeah
on some level
like I think he's really mad
there's something that is definitely pissing him off
for sure
and it's probably financial
and maybe the staff sucks
I would imagine it has something to do with lawyers
probably lawyers
the staff probably also is incompetent
and not doing the job that he needs them to do
but he's not that mad about what this big news is
he's clearly still using this
breakdown lashing out as a way of like
anybody who's watching
they'll tell people that he's saying he's gonna quit on air
no it's him being like use it
there's something else pissing him off
I'm gonna use it in my speech today
yeah
what am I talking about
what's the big news
no one cares
I shouldn't even say it probably
at least when I call other people that are influential
they care and look into it and put it out
I call Paul Watson with this
oh he's busy out on the date or something
I'm not mad at Paul
he already wrote like five articles today
it's just that I don't have the people
I don't have the infrastructure
I don't have anything
I mean we can have the keys to put Lucifer into the pit of hell
no one would care
they'd be busy getting their fucking nails done
if I were Paul I would not appreciate the way Alex talks about him
he seems to be pretty unprofessional
oh man weird weird to have to work with that guy
yeah
it's almost like he lashes out at the people around him
as well as the audience on a constant basis
yeah yeah
like he's a child
almost
so anyway we get to the big news
sure
Alex does let it
eventually
let it rip what the story is
and it is bullshit
you understand ladies and gentlemen
we have the smoking gun
of what did the power outage
100% it was the department of energy
and their order to keep the power off
you understand we have that
and no one gives a damn
I quit then
screw this whole freakin place man
I mean this is just all out of control
unbelievable
we have released so many smoking guns
so much proof
Joe Biden is on TV on CNN
saying Gigi Ping is doing a good job
invading Hong Kong
and running giant death camps
fine if America wants that
then frickin have it
and if you want your power turned off
by the department of energy
then enjoy it
I'm gonna run some tapes
I'm not even sure I'm coming on this
screw this whole place
God this country is totally out
God Almighty let it all burn then
I mean we can't even admit
aborting babies is murder
so we don't deserve to have power
oh tip of the spear
tip of the spear
I'm gonna lead you into the next
screw this place
we all deserve to burn
okay Trump did win
but it's a setback
I'm still gonna lead you into it
nope
everyone dies
all this emotional outburst
and this childish pageantry
but he's still able to
say frickin
he's still able to recognize
he's on the radio
and he doesn't want to get fined
totally
so I find this a little false
yeah
so also it appears that Alex is
very mad about a document
from the department of energy
that he's been shown
and I would guess that he hasn't
read this document
he claims that it's smoking gun evidence
that the power outages in Texas
were intentional
which is why he's putting on this
shamefully childish display of fake rage
at the start of the show
we'll get into the document
as Alex covers it
but at this point
let me just sum things up
to say that Alex is entirely wrong
about it
that's not hard
no
that's not hard to believe
no but it does
like the level to which he's wrong
about it
makes all this outburst
really really funny
what I do appreciate
about all of this
is
there is
you can't deny that being your own
boss is great
right
sure
I mean he technically said I quit
yeah exactly
like
that kind of outburst
you just can't get that
if you work for someone else
no
Wolf Blitzer is not going on TV
on election night
being like
shit I don't even know what the results are
I quit
let's
let's imagine that Alex did have a boss
but he had such a good contract
that they just couldn't get him out of it
like firing him
would require paying out
ten years of this contract
or something
something ridiculous
if he did that
and he just yelled I quit on air
and I was his boss
it'd be like he said it
he said it
no I've got a plane in the court
a plane in the court
he's gone he's gone
I accept your letter of resignation immediately
that's the other good thing about not having a boss
nothing you say means anything
yeah exactly
so like this is a smoking gun
sure
there's another smoking gun
and then there's another
there's so many
Alex has so many smoking guns
okay
this is smoking
gun
stuff
and then I've got a bunch
of other
big
giant
smoking
but I'm too angry
to do the show right now
I am too damn angry
to do this broadcast right now
and there's a lot of other stuff going on
so
I'm gonna just
and I gotta go find my stack of news
from yesterday
I gotta do a lot of stuff around here
sure
I watched somebody walk out
on my stack
and I was like oh no
you got the stack
well I'll go get it myself
but
and I'm not even bitching anymore
I just can't do this
six seven days a week
and just with the public
like zombies everywhere
just like walking into
globalist machine gun fire
and then that weird reanimated corpse
Biden stumbling around up there
just all of it
it's just
it's a joke
because people are
unconscious
from watching TV
and playing on their phones all day
oh that's it
yeah
that's the problem
yeah
the public
yeah
hmmm
he's having a bad day
yeah
you know
I can't help but feel like
I've been there before
and what comforts me
all the time
is when I just go
oh no
I'm just an asshole
yeah
like everybody else is asleep
and everybody
no no no
I'm just being a dick
my bad guys
I'm an asshole
I just
I'm having a bad day
some didn't like
you know some
I got overcharged
for something
totally
maybe I'm taking it out
on the people around me
subconsciously
I'm sorry
and you tell them
and they're like
you know what
I get it
yeah
I've been in that experience
yeah it happens
and then
you're just like
we got a de-escalate
for Alex
it's an essential piece
of his showmanship
he's having a bad day
yeah
and that means everyone's got to die
yeah
people are unconscious
from watching TV
and playing on their phones all day
it manipulates all the
dopamine receptors
where people think
that's the real world
and the real world
they're all
ooh
ooh
like this
and I decided
I'm going to be around this anymore
maybe Bill Gates is right
just kill everybody
but use neutron bombs
at least
and kill them quick man
don't mutate them
and torture them
and dumb them down
but Bill Gates
writes that
Bill Gates
is just neutron bombing the public
just neutron bomb everybody
then we don't kill the earth
that the humans
are gotten rid of
maybe he's right
maybe I should go work for Gates
and just come up with a neutron bomb plan
I know Bertrand Russell had one
before they called it a neutron bomb
do you know anything about neutrons?
gotta start over
you know God did it
so I guess they're just imitating God
maybe I should just salute Bill Gates
right now on there
pledge allegiance to him
nobody else cares
do it
at least he actually wants to run something
it's me the devil do it
you must
I have the giant news
but no one no one cares of course
I'm serious I don't want to fit here
just no one cares
maybe if I freak out
maybe if I cut a few fingers off
with loppers
and people go
and this is really important
this will bring down the globalist
here let me cut my pinky off
oh now you pay attention
the department of energy
on record told Texas
you can't produce more power
I have the damn document
with a direct link to them
they'll just have snopes saying
it isn't real
hell we wouldn't be able to
pull it up in there probably
so anyways
I'm gonna go to rebroadcast
for a while
I'm gonna try to settle down
and then
I'm gonna come back and lay
all this out for you
it's so incredible
it's incredible
that is
that wasn't a display
that was a show
that was a baby
it was just
man you know what would suck
it would really suck
if his conspiracies were actually true
oh yeah
cause now the movement
about these things
are so beholden to him
that like
like imagine
like having to fall in line behind him
brutal
oh this guy's onto something
brutal
this whiny little asshole
you know
you know who
thankfully he's not
you know who goes down in history
for being a hero
people who
weather adversity
you know when you think of
Nelson Mandela
and you think of being put in prison
for all those years
and then
not just surviving through it
but then going on to
help found a fucking country
for a real
opportunity at equality
but you read
you read his speech
no one cares
I don't even know
I don't even know if I want to do this
you guys imprisoned me
for 25 years
and I don't even know
if I want to help any of you people
you know what
how about you all are owned
by white supremacists
how about that
huh
I quit
no one gives a shit about me
Bishop Desmond Tutu's an asshole
yeah
very stupid
that's who I want to
follow into the
into the war
Alex is a noble
noble leader
so I think
part of his anger
is coming from
a place of like
he wasn't on this sooner
he's like this document
was available before
and he could have been covering the story
this way before
and said he had the
sort of childish
oh it was the windmills
narrative
and what have you
I think that's where
a little bit of this anger comes from
before I went live on air
I got a bunch of extra news
that I would already was told
by a very close person to me
and I dropped the ball on
Monday
and just said
I've been told by inside sources
in Texas power plants
that the feds ordered them
not to increase power
I should have followed up on that
I already knew there was those agreements
I already knew about those documents
I should have gotten the current ones
I should have found out
well let me see the directive
instead I
just went and poured another glass of wine
and set up a fire in the dark
and then son of a bitch
a whistleblower
inside Department of Energy
contacted
someone that works here
and said
why is Jones not covering this
no one else is
and I read it
20 minutes before I went on air
and I already knew all that was real
we went and checked
it's on the Department of Energy website
and it was like being punched
in the chest and the stomach
over and over again
to read
for sure they raped us
for sure they're doing it
I am so fricking pissed man
I can't take much more of these people
and the way it's written
you sound like the demon
it's all slimy
the way it's written is all slimy
what is wrong with this man
I don't know
I'm not sure exactly what the definition
of slimy documents are
but I guess for Alex
it's when the document says
the opposite of what you need it to say
and so you have to argue
the one they say yes
they really mean no
exactly
just slimy
slimy as shit
super slimy
also I think that
young thug thinks it's slimy again
I think Alex is really using the term
whistleblower too loosely here
there's a publicly available document
on the Department of Energy's website
so I would say that this is a tipster
if anything
wow
maybe someone who's doing Alex's work for him
I don't know
maybe somebody who's just been
to that website
that's not a whistleblower
no
the document in question is titled
order number 202-21-1
it's four pages long
so there's no way
I believe Alex read it
and it's really easy to find
and if you do find it
what you'll read is an order
that is designed to increase
the electric capacity
of the Texas power grid
in order to deal with the emergency
that the state is going through
sure
on February 14th
quote the Electric Reliability Council of Texas
an independent system operator
whose service territory includes
90% of the electric customers
in the state of Texas
filed a request for emergency order
under section 202C
of the Federal Power Act
the beginning of the document lays out
how ERCOT had foreseen
the possible issue
and that quote
this weather event is expected
to result in record winter electricity
demand that will exceed
even ERCOT's most extreme
seasonal load forecasts
to try to adjust for this
ERCOT attempted to maximize
energy generation
by doing things like
having the Railroad Commission of Texas
put out an emergency order
that quote specified
increasing the priority of gas supplies
to ERCOT generators
one of the main things
that this order is about
is that the electricity generation
that they were needing to engage in
would almost certainly not be possible
quote
without violating federal air quality
or other permit limitations
so ERCOT appealed to the Department of Energy
to get an order allowing them to work
outside those regulations
due to the emergency situation
on page two of the order
it says quote
given the emergency nature
of the expected load stress
the responsibility of ERCOT
to ensure maximum reliability
on its system
and the ability of ERCOT
to identify
and dispatch generation
necessary
to meet the additional load
I have determined
that the additional dispatch
of the specified resources
is necessary
to best meet the emergency
and serve the public interest
for purposes of FPA section 202C
okay so the document
Alex Jones is saying is them saying
you can't have more power
is them saying
yes you can have more power
with some limitations
well sure I mean you can't destroy the earth
right
yeah
the order is the acting secretary of energy
replying to ERCOT
saying that they have permission to break regulations
up to a point
yeah yeah yeah
the order literally says quote
ERCOT anticipates that this order
may result in exceedance of emissions
as well as wastewater release limits
to minimize adverse environmental impacts
this order limits operation of dispatched units
to the times
and within the parameters determined by ERCOT
for reliability purposes
yeah that's great
it's pretty simple
this is just an order
where ERCOT
asked for permission
to wiggle around some regulation
in order to be able to meet
the increased demand
of the energy emergency
the Department of Energy
replied that they could do so
but that wiggle room
only existed for the purposes
of re-establishing
reliability of the power grid
they couldn't just flout
all federal pollution regulations
but some would be less rigidly enforced
given the human need that existed
yeah we don't want to destroy the earth
but people are freezing to death
so let's find a better place
then find a way to make this work
exactly
there's nothing here
quite honestly
it doesn't sound like it
which is why Alex is doing this
high school drama club play
about how serious
and smoking gun it all is
it's actually a document
that says the opposite of what he claims it does
and because that is the case
he has to claim that it's slimy
this is the level of work that he's doing
and it really makes you wonder
why he doesn't just quit
like it's
this is nothing
I don't know
because he's his own boss I guess
slimy
slimy
he doesn't want to start all over again
anyway
I don't think he's even read it
so I wouldn't expect him to understand
some of these like
dynamics and all of this
but I think that he realizes
like I don't know if I can really even
fucking explain this to the audience
in a way
yeah
that's gonna make them
motivated
this might be too hard for me
yeah
better call Tucker
oh boy
I can get more done
if I call a bunch of influential people I know
and tell them to look into this
and let them break it
I don't care about breaking it
and then it will actually have an effect
instead
the audience is great
but I say so much stuff
people just hear it
and just think
oh that's another thing Alex just said
no it's not
it's the biggest
whatever happened to Plan B
smoking gun I ever saw
to quote
Robert Duvall
in network
it's a big titted hit
okay
I mean
this thing would hurt them
so
freaking bad
I hate the New World Order
I can't stand Bill Gates
I can't stand Warren Buffett
I can't stand Ted Turner
I can't stand Barack Obama
I can't stand him anymore
I want him off my back now
you mothers
and then I sit there
and I read
exactly what I was told by my family
that works in these damn plants
that they're ordered
to go
at zero or quarter power
under
the freaking federal government
because
Biden put him back under
the son of a bitch
two weeks ago
now we all knew that
did we
did we all know that
I feel like we did not know that
no
and I don't
I read this document
I still don't know it
yeah man
you know
here's my pitch for Alex
and I mean
this is gonna sound crazy
alright
but he's sick of being
under the backs of
sure
Bill Gates
Warren Buffett
Ted Turner for some reason
join
the socialist buddy
we want to try
and get rid of these rich people
and remove their power
come on man
no
you wanna get rid of them
let's go
no cause socialists are working
for Ted Turner
they don't just don't know it
oh
how about this
how about this
what if Ted Turner
here's my cell
here's my cell
back to you Alex
yeah
what if
Ted Turner
thinks we're working for him
but we're actually
working for our own goals
using his money
and power
that he thinks he's
bought us with
what
another possibility
would be
move to Antarctica
okay now that's also
a good one
Alex
you can also go to
Antarctica
yeah
so
one of the features
of Alex's coverage
of this document
from the Department of Energy
is
one of those strategies
he uses a lot
I call it
making things up
oh that's a good one
and guess what's in the document
the Department of Energy
told Texas
under federal law
you'll be prosecuted
unless you exhaust
outside power
supplies first
there's no mention
of prosecution
the relevant part
that Alex
is talking about
is as follows
quote
consistent with
good utility practice
ERCOT shall exhaust
all reasonably
and practically
available resources
including available
imports
demand response
and identified
behind the meter
generation
resources
selected to
minimize
increase in emissions
to the extent
that such resources
provide support
to maintain
reliability
prior to
dispatching
these specified
resources
when in reality
this is very much
a document that is
the Department of Energy
giving ERCOT
a fair amount of leeway
and trying to keep
the system online
frequently in the document
you see it made clear
that if the determination
of what is necessary
is that they need to
put on more
save lives now
yeah
save lives now
if the determination
of when it's necessary
to put on
all these other
things
that's at the discretion
of ERCOT
that is not
that's left up to them
yep
and so
like behind
the meter
generation resources
for what it's worth
is like
solar
and batteries
and stuff like that
so
I don't know
I just don't
I don't see
I don't see what he's saying
I don't find this
very compelling at all
no
Texas always had
more power than anybody
we used to supply
before Obama came in
the states all around us
remember that
our grid supplied
much of the country
that's what we were proud of
it
got to where
it was the biggest supplier
of energy in the world
for the first time
since the 50s
again
this is just something
Alex is making up
the power grid in Texas
specifically exists
in such ways
to not supply
power to other states
to avoid interstate
energy sales regulation
from the federal government
someone to pretend
persona that Alex
has should really
understand that
dynamic well
and be proud of it
also
Alex is just
reporting something
Trump lied about
and pretending it's real
Trump basically
lied in his
energy but that's not true
no
anyway prices
for energy
are going up
oh well
yeah I imagine so
Reuters
Texas wholesale
electric prices
spike more than
10,000%
amid outages
and what is this
little sweet document
show that I'll show
you the print of
next segment
they had to
first only buy
from outside
sources
including
available imports
and demand response
you look those
terms up
that means
demand response
is a term meaning
outside power
when you don't have enough
demand response
is a key term
means you buy
from available imports
these are all lawyer
terms
once again
I think that one's
just an economics term
well Alex
is just making things up
because he knows
that his audience
doesn't care
and they're never going
to check on anything
why would they
demand response
according to Alex
is lawyer speak
for I mean
you gotta buy
outside power
he knows this
because he looked it up
demand response
is an energy
efficiency strategy
that involves
giving customers
the ability
to adjust their
electricity usage
away from peak hours
by doing things
like
offering cut rates
at other times
when the burden
on the electric grid
is lower
or putting
small tariffs
on power
during peak periods
this department
of energy
document is saying
that in addition
to using
available reserves
demand response
strategies
should be employed
when possible
I was
I'm fairly certain
that you did just
say buy all your power
from China
sure
it would be easy
for someone to hear
me make this
correction of Alex
and say that I'm
just nitpicking
and fact checking
him pointlessly
but there's a
really serious phenomenon
that I'm trying to
illustrate here
Alex Jones
constantly pretends
to know things
he has a consistent
pattern of just
making up definitions
of words
and details
about news stories
and then pretending
he does this
about the small details
of his day to day
conspiracies
in the same way
he does
with the larger
worldview level
conspiracies
his workflow
is essentially
like watching
a shitty improv show
rooted in terrible
racist politics
he uses
headlines
and words
he skims in stories
as the suggestions
from the audience
that he takes
and then he riffs
a scene out of it
I would implore
anyone who takes
him seriously
to consider
that dynamic
of the stories
that he's covering
in order to make them
fit his predetermined
narrative and worldview
which he absolutely
wouldn't need to do
if he wasn't
full of shit
as for the
skyrocketing prices
of energy
some consumers are
seeing
that is being
reported in
reputable outlets
and it does appear
that some of this
is going on
the public utility
commission of
Texas is opening
an investigation
into possible
price gouging
and I would
guess that
if they find
a small number
of people in Texas
use a company
called Gritty
to provide their
electricity
which operates
on wholesale prices
most people use
providers who
have fixed rates
but going through
a company like Gritty
actually saves
people money
on their
electric bill
generally
the downside
is in a situation
like this
their rates
are not fixed
and they can
skyrocket
even so
I would
guess
that these people
believe
that
but I don't know
yeah I mean
I don't know
at this point in time
it's safer to assume
that people are
going to get
fucked over in some
massive fashion
possibly
possibly but
I would
guess that
there will be
some forgiveness
yeah
but
something
but the examples
that you see
are these like
really really
high bills
and the ones
that I've been
able to see
and someone could
see
are wholesale
prices
which are not
the majority
of electric
users
in the state of Texas
most people have fixed rate
and there
obviously their prices
will go up too
but not
per
like the rate
they will need
to use more electricity
to heat their house
because it's
colder outside
but they won't
you know
that's just
a natural
phenomenon
you know
and like
I mean
just price
like
if that's going on
people will
get to the bottom of it
will help
yeah
so Alex
you know
he's got this document
that he's lying about
yes
and he feels really
excited about this lie
he's pretty pumped about it
and
he's like
you know what
these fucking
people in
Congress
in Texas
and our governor
they need to
lie about this document
too
oh no
and all
Ted Cruz
has got to do
is to
pursue the redeem himself
all
John Cornyn has to do
is come out
and read this on air
and it's game over
by the way
I've had my problems
with Ted Cruz
but I think he's a good
constitutionalist
Ken Kuhn is like
going out to get
a cheeseburger in Texas
it's an hour
and 45 minute flight
his daughters
were going down there
why do I care
if he flew down there
with his daughters
to get out of this hell
when it turned out
his power was off
my power was off
a bunch
my water
just came back today
we go
Mexico
see we live by Mexico folks
we go down there
but I'm not even
defending that
how is that the news
how is he horrible
and the Democrats are all
oh look he doesn't care
about you
he didn't want the
lockdowns
he didn't want to wear
the mask
it's not like he's
for a lockdown
and he's caught
getting out of one
ladies and gentlemen
Alex Jones with a
master class
and intentionally
missing the point
yep yep yep
remarkable
I think the
the point could very
easily be made
because he too
is rich
could be
could have something
to do with that
could be
could be one of those
things where rich people
don't really understand
why poor people
get mad
yeah and I think
that it's a
it's a really
interesting way
that Alex
engages with
Ted Cruz
and his
responsibilities
as an elected
official
as opposed to
the
responsibilities
of other
enemy
well you know
it's weird
he's mad
at ERCOT
now I should say
that he doesn't know
that it's the
Electric Reliability
Council of Texas
well
he doesn't really know
what it is
he thinks
he seems to think
that ERCOT
is like basically
Enron
oh okay
I get what you say
he thinks it's a
company
yeah yeah
of course he does
yeah it's weird
and I'm just
reading it
made me so angry
that I almost
turned this desk over
seriously man
but you know
they're not just
robbing our future
they're blaming us
they're starving people
they're bankrupting
all these communities
they killed over
50 people
and then now
they're going to
rape us more
and are telling us
permanent blackouts
because the feds
put ERCOT in control
because you can't
have the state managing it
the feds
put ERCOT
the feds
put ERCOT in control
Alex has
no idea what that is
wow
he seems to think
it's like a power
company as opposed
to being the
management entity
that's overseen
by the public utility
commission of Texas
and the state's
legislature
the public utility
commissioners responsible
for overseeing
ERCOT are directly
appointed by
Texas's governor
there could almost
be no system imaginable
where the state
would have more
direct control
over the power system
other than one
where the state
itself runs
all the power
plants itself
which I can't
imagine Alex
advocating for
no no no
Alex knows
nothing about the
subjects he's covering
larger themes and
narratives
none of this is based
in reality at all
yeah
it's outrageous
also you don't get to
you don't get to care
he doesn't get to care
you already did
the coronavirus thing
where you denied
all of that shit
you don't get to be like
oh how dare they do
this now
nah fuck off
it's remarkable
how everything
is a conspiracy
oh shit
yeah
anyway
Alex gets back
to this document
and this is
kind of
I guess one of the
other reasons
because he's talking
about the docs
he's talking about a document
yeah and I always
like it when we can get
grounded
you like the docs
yeah
in the ERCOT region
that's Texas
the generating unit
specified resources
that this order
pertains to are listed
on the order
202-21-1
resource list
as described below
and it's
oh hydroelectric
and it's oh this
it takes him a week
to turn a coal plant up
didn't let him do that
so Alex is reading
this
part of the document
that he's skimming
and he should come
as no surprise
but he's just
making shit up
the resource list
that's referenced
in that department
of energy order
is available
and it's easy to find
it's just a list
of power generation
plants in Texas
that are relevant
to the order
each plant
is listed
and the third column
in the spreadsheet
is the type
of energy
that they use
okay
literally zero
are solar
or windmills
or hydroelectric
because that's
not what the order
is
the way
that the
energy
is
and it's
a
bituminous
coal
or distillate
fuel
oil
power
generators
which
are being
given special
permission to
operate
in ways that
would
exceed
environmental rules
specifically
only when
doing so
would be
needed to
be done
abundantly
clear
we have an order
saying that
these evil power
companies can
destroy the earth
in order to save lives
but all the
renewable energies
are just like
eh you guys
keep on going
like it seems
it seems very obvious
that
one of these is a
serious polluter
destroying the world
and the other
one they're like
okay well
you guys are
fine
yeah
so alex
is you know
again
in the relationship
of the federal government
the feds
are in charge
man
I think a lot of people
are confused as to how
this happened
we're gonna come back
and read all this for you
it gets really bad right here
it's really really bad
but the point is
the feds are in control
the feds wouldn't
let them up the power
till the power grid
was going down
and then limited
what they could do
and then sat back
and said texas is
a bunch of idiots
a bunch of hayseeds
who are watching
he-ho right now
I'm a
where go Joe Biden
lay over
Joe Biden knows how
to cook a possum
oh yeah
I'm not sure
that's what's happening
I'm fairly certain
that I have heard
many comments
on
Biden's ability
to
cook possum
not cook possum
the jury's out
from what I've heard
sure
some people like it
some people don't
let me be
just above board
and totally clear
any kind of like
texan bashing
that's going on
I think is wrong
I think it's misguided
it's counterproductive
yeah at least
to the extent that
that is going on
I am
I don't know
what extent
it is
I have not really
been exposed to much of it myself
sure
I imagine
if I spent more time
on Twitter
maybe I would have seen
some dumb comments
yeah get them out of here
but whatever
that said
what Alex is doing
is trying to take
valid criticisms
about how texas
their power grid
is operated
and then he turns
that into people saying
that texans just
he doesn't have a response
to the arguments
about the grid
because he doesn't
actually even understand
the conversation
the people are having
not even a little bit
but he can get his audience
personally offended
if he makes the whole thing
about how the coastal elites
think people in the middle
of the country are stupid
that's pretty much
the tactic that you see
being employed here
it's infuriating
I do not appreciate
that he is talking
about a problem
that is almost
entirely the result
of a state
desiring more than anything
for the federal government
to get out of their fucking business
and then
to blame the feds
for being in their business
yeah I mean I think
I think that
I think that there's a
piece of it
that you can probably blame
on the organizational structure
of the disconnection
from the interstate
sales of energy
but also like
I think that you also
have to be very careful
with that
because of how severe
the storm is
like
like even in
ideal circumstances
there would have been
power outages
like 100%
perhaps not to the extent
that
you know we have seen
sure
and maybe not as severe
as we've seen
but
a storm like that
in Texas
is something that is
just a recipe for
there's going to be
a lot of trouble
sure sure
and
I'm just saying that
if the reports
of them being that close
to having no power
for months
are true
that is 100%
look
there are going to be
power outages
and here they happen
everywhere
and
it can be dealt with
but if you have
a system
that is like
well we were
a James Bond
moment away
from fucking
never having power
for the next year
then
yeah
you're done fucked up
in the planning
somewhere along the line
yeah
and it's really tough
to say
if that
problem
is
essentially
related to
the
non-interstate
energy sales
also a fair point
or if it's just
unrelated
mismanagement
or something
entirely possible
I don't know enough to say
for sure
but I think that those things
are important to tease out
sure
before you make too much
of a judgment
but it does seem like
whatever it is
it's something
yeah
yeah
I mean
at the very least
it would be hard to
imagine
if there was
some sort of
unified
or greater
area
of power control
where it wouldn't be
able to be
transported
effectively
much much better
to the point where
we would have
a better response time
at the very least
you know
it may be
yeah
but
who knows
for now all we do know
is that Alex
overprepares
indeed
for his show
that sounds true
I want to be
totally clear with you
I
massively prepare
for the show
I have
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
15, 16 stacks of news
that I've seen over in red
and I've not even hit
can't believe you count it
all the way up to 16
like one story a segment
and they go oh coming up is this
no
no
no
no
I will not sit here
and watch the Department of Energy
override
Trump's executive orders
and tell Texas
they couldn't increase power
when I have the smoking gun
I just want to
I just want to see this
all over the news
I want to see them go to prison
got bad news
yeah that's going to be trouble
yeah it's probably not going to happen
yeah good luck buddy
so
Alex is personally offended
because this is about Texas
yes of course
you know
yeah yeah
and what he wants you to know
is the Texas
what about it
you looking at me
I am looking at you
straight on
Texas
what about it
those people take action
and Alex might have
the worst example
that he uses
okay
did some mistake
that this operation comes out of Texas
did some mistake
Kennedy got his head blown off down here
people are ready to take action
down here ladies and gentlemen
I am not defending what happened to Kennedy
I am just saying
the new old man
was playing with a lot of fire
and they take our kindness as weakness
because they are stupid
because they have a studied history
and they have no idea
about people
dedicated to an idea
dedicated to their family
dedicated to God
dedicated to war
to definitive need be
why did you say
look
Texans
Texans
will fucking kill the president
we'll do it right fucking now
that's weird
I thought it was a
right now
I guess
I guess
like
if there's one thing I know about the south
it's that
they murder presidents dad
huh this
this adds a wrinkle to the conspiracy I guess
I suppose
so it had to have been a Texan conspiracy
yep yep
this is interesting
it was not the mob
it was not the Russians
it was not a single lone actor
it was the Lone Star State
George H.W. Bush
is from Connecticut
yep yep
yeah I don't know
this could be a tough one to sell
do you think it's a coincidence that
Info Wars comes out of the same state
where Kennedy was killed
what
I don't think it is
I don't think it's a coincidence
I was hoping it was a coincidence
nope it's not
I thought Ted Cruz's dad did it
no Alex Jones's dad did it
he was a CIA dentist
oh shit
he shot him with a tooth
exactly
the magic bullet was actually a tooth
no it was an exploding tooth
it was a dune situation
yep that's
that's Dr. Jones's calling card
so Alex goes to calls
and not a lot of these are
worth even mentioning
although I will say that this next call
is probably the saddest
I've been listening to Alex
in a long time
oh boy
with my three kids
this is a Memorial City mall
right in the thick of this whole thing
and I can just want to say thank you
to you guys because there is not a chance
I would have gotten through this
with myself, my wife, my three kids
without two things
first thing the water filtration system
is incredible
anybody listening please
please get prepared
you do not want to be
a victim to this government
to this please
thank Info Wars
and Alex and this entire crew
because every day you guys get uncomfortable
and you have the uncomfortable conversation
and you teach us here on the ground
to be uncomfortable
and to talk to people
and to have the uncomfortable conversation
and the reason why I let you so much
so much Alex is because you're real
you say when you make mistakes
you say when something got by you
when the Q thing
you're just a real Info Wars
as real as it gets in America
and I can tell you
from listening to you guys
from my generator power this week
you kept my connection to humans
you kept my connection to God
Alex and I'm telling you
I have been freezing my butt off
me and my family
in 40 degree weather all week long
but I can promise you
every morning when I wake up
I was going to Band-Aid video
waiting for your reports
because you guys keep our connection
to God and our human connection
well brother that's so beautiful
that's exactly what John
John the boom on Red River said
doesn't matter Jones you blew up earlier
that's real they're looking for red blood
and that's it
all I've got is I'm real
oh boy wow
that just bummed me out so much
everything that dude was saying is so wrong
wow just brutal just
oh that is
that's just what's the uncomfortable
conversation I don't know but that
that guy has just enumerated
a crime like what he has
just described is somebody
so destroying his mind
that he is enthralled
to the point of death
the idea that in a
disaster
I will say that this is one of the situations
where some of Alex's
products actually probably be quite useful
like I take less issue with this guy saying
I bought a water filtration
I was like hey man hey
how about that it paid off
so that I take less issue with
but the idea that
in a disaster in this
scenario that he's in he goes to the generator
to try and find Alex's
videos to keep his connection
with humanity and God
is just dark
yeah that is a dark thought
that is a dark thought
especially when like okay your connection to humanity
just quit earlier in the show
your connection to humanity
said fuck this
Bill Gates should neutron bomb everybody
I mean it just makes
you think about all the
horrible shit that's happened in the past
and you're like why would people follow that guy
and you're like oh
they don't follow any old asshole apparently
yeah I believe the expression
they used to say in Missouri was it takes all kinds
yeah it takes all kinds
so
why would anyone listen to a 13 year old pope
and then you get that guy and you're like
well yeah I guess believe whatever you want man
so I gotta ask you I don't know
I don't know a whole lot about this 13 year old pope
was that the young pope
was that that HBO show
no no no that was uh that was what
what's his face British dude
the type who told his audience to prepare
kill lists yeah actually he was
oh he and Alex have that in common I believe you
ladies and gentlemen
I don't have words to describe to you
how serious the times are I know you already know that
and I'm not saying be violent
either because that'll be misconstrued and used against us
and the people we go after are just
minions they don't count but
they don't count
the globalist
and the people Bill Gates
controls need to know
in not a threatening way they're assaulting us
they need to know
they were aware of what they're doing
and that
God is going to hold them accountable
we're gonna pray for God to bring vengeance upon them
and that as they officially assault us
as they come after us
that we reserve the right to defend ourselves
he said threateningly I don't shoot my mouth off
I'm not Mr. Big Badass you know
talk about how I'm a big leader
of the military and all this I'm not
I just I can't sit there
and lie to you and tell you that you're not being assaulted
and so
like Santa Claus you should be
researching who's been naughty and who's been nice
who's gonna get cold when they're stalking
and who's gonna get little
bicycle or toys or candy
so that's where we are
we'll be right back stay with us
your calls are straight ahead
so Alex talks a lot about this idea of making kill lists
yeah and like I don't know
I don't know if it would hold up in court or anything
but I could see somebody
like trying to kill Bill Gates
or something
and then being like
I was advised that he was trying
to kill everyone with a vaccine
yeah and that we needed
it was a defensive really he was attacking us
yeah well who told you that
Alex Jones every day
simply every day
I don't I don't know if it's
like the kind of thing that he could get in trouble for
legally but like
actually or or just morally
yeah he's doing
everything that would
lead someone to do the thing
yeah just the thing hasn't happened
yeah I would I would just
say that it's
time to write a sequel to miracle on 34th street
where Alex claims
that Santa is making kill lists
out of this naughty and nice list
listen we all know it's in the white papers
it's uh
no I'm Santa Claus I'm real
we know you're fucking real
you're killing all of our children
they got kill teams of reindeer going around
and elves
why's that nose so blood red huh
Santa
yeah so we get another caller
here and he actually brings up an interesting
point that I have an answer for
there were people in Oklahoma
without power
freezing death you know
because we got hit with the same storm you guys got hit with
and they're
cold freezing and we've got
a national basketball association
team called Oklahoma City Thunder
and dad dad the whole
arena
with power you know they played their basketball game
and that was all good and fun while people sat in the cold
freezing that's what
technocracy is is they go oh
downtown Austin stays open
all air caught stays open but I'm
in the dark for six days
so some of the places that retain power during the
Texas storm seem a little bit strange
but a lot of it's actually really easy to understand
if you take the time to care
a lot of it have to do with sections
of the grid where essential services were located
like hospitals being a higher priority
than ones that say didn't
contain hospitals sure this could
easily create the impression that there was power
in downtown Austin but not in
outlying areas but if you look
at the proximity of downtown to not only the
capital building but also del seatan
medical center all kinds
of warming centers and saint
david's medical center you start to understand
how it might be impossible to retain
power to those buildings without also keeping
power on for some six street businesses
that maybe you're like why are they
why do they have a light also
it appears that you do correctly understand
why people are mad at Ted Cruz
oh is the basketball
being played but people are
oh are you flying to Mexico but
people are there we go now you get
it and to be fair I would guess a similar
thing is going on in Oklahoma City where
the thunder play at the Chesapeake
energy arena
which is within walking distance of the county
courthouse the county detention center
and st. Anthony hospital as
well as the entire university
of Oklahoma medical center complex
including the children's hospital in the VA
yeah but you know
everybody needs to suffer equally
I mean it's
it's a pretty simple explanation I just
don't understand why people get mad
or confused about things that are like they're
pretty easy to understand well because it
would be hard fine
so Alex has Max Kaiser
on and they just talk about Bitcoin
yeah Alex gets really mad
about how he could have bought
Bitcoin when it was like $5
and now it's over 50
grand well the thing is or whatever
it is um Max
10 years ago offered him 10,000
Bitcoin and
Alex is like how much would that be now I was like
oh it would be a lot buddy
it would be a lot of money buddy
I was like I missed the boat
there was one funny clip but I actually wish
I would have pulled this but Max's whole interview
is just who gives a shit it's just talking about
how great Bitcoin is and Alex being like
I'm ambivalent stop giving out your web address
makes it sound like your a sponsor
but when Alex
is talking about how much this Bitcoin would be worth now
Max Kaiser makes some kind of joke about
like ah that's why you gotta sell these boner pills
it was really dishy
nicely done Max
Max Kaiser has freedom
a joie de vivre that is
kind of enjoyable but it also makes
his interviews not really all that worthwhile
for our show but after he leaves
Joel Scousen comes in
oh shit
Joel Scousen is a mess
yeah he is a
weirdo and I just have four clips
of Scousen's interview
that are four reasons
why you should not take Joel Scousen
seriously
the first is that
he also along with Alex seems to think
that ERCOT is like a federal agency
or a company
they want to set themselves up as the saviors
I think it's important Joel do you agree with me
the evidence shows that it was federal
mismanagement and control with ERCOT
removing the state from the process that took one of our
best power systems and made it one of our worst
I completely agree with you Alex
there is no problem with federal
so why shouldn't you
correct him if you know
that ERCOT is a Texas
specific
if you understand the dynamics
at play you shouldn't go along
with Alex saying literally the opposite
I completely agree with you
what it is that he is saying is 100%
so that's not good and maybe just not going
to
go ahead and listen to anything that Joel has
to say about the storm
the power grid if he doesn't know this basic
yeah that would
be a problem I don't think I would want to
learn calculus from somebody who doesn't know
algebra now here's where it gets
weird reason number two
not to take Joel Scousen seriously
alright
where do you think
fossil fuels and oil comes from
oh god no
personally yes
I think it comes from god
and he put them there about 10,000 years ago
to trick us into making
petroleum geologists now it's becoming recognized
that oil is not fossil fuel
what is it
well
I'm afraid I have to get theological here
this was part of the creation of the earth
oh my god
the lord in his creation actually put oil deposits
look if fossil fuels
exist if you create
oil from deteriorating animals
and you look at all of the trillions and trillions
and trillions of tons of oil
which would only represent
a tiny fraction of
the decaying bodies of any dinosaurs
you would have had to have the dinosaurs
100 feet deep all over the
entire earth plants marine life
wow dude
this is a man
who knows what's up yeah no
Dan carbon only comes from
all dinosaurs and god
and he was making the earth put oil down there
I swear to god yeah
I swear Dan yeah I mean I would
say
I don't know this is really narcissistic
and I'm going to go ahead and preface this
by saying I don't actually believe it
but it's kind of fun to think about
I felt a little bit of resistance
on Joel Scousen's part to say that
and part of it I'm hoping
is him being like god damn it Dan's going to make fun of this
him being like well to answer that
question I have to get theological
okay
so Joel thinks that god put oil
down there for us to
to to use that's another reason not to
take him all too seriously
I just I just suppose that
look I'm a religion well
whatever but you can't do
that you know like a demonstrably
ridiculous thing
you can't just believe like that
you can wrong you can
wrong no no you can you're more than
free to
believe whatever you want to believe sure
however it will implicate
how I view your beliefs in
other subjects no I would like
that to be true as well
unfortunately that is
not true for most people sure
yeah like if you want to believe
anything
like that god put oil
in the middle of the world I think it's harmless
belief unless you're using that to argue
against climate change see there we go
right I'm going to use your
belief that god put oil
down there for us to use
that to inform my view
of your arguments about
anthropogenic climate change
sure I just I would just
prefer if we had to if
okay holy books now
have to have footnotes that's my new rule
if something is demonstrably true
it's a footnote in your book
I get it you stole that new
rule from Bill Maher is that from
Bill Maher fuck off I swear to god
if it is I'll kill myself it sounds like something
he would say he's all anti-religion and shit
and he had a segment called new rules I just
don't want oh that well that fine yeah
yeah fine I quit that's the
joke I was making I'm old and I'm
useless Dan
why don't you go turn into fossil fuel
haha nicely done because I'm not
a dinosaur and I'm still only six feet
below ground so where do you think
fossils come from oh god
no hmm oh god
I don't I'm you know what
fuck it Samson ever whenever
he pulled the temple down he made all the
fossils okay that's interesting yeah it
seems like it was intelligently
designed exactly
intelligently designed and I
I'm you know I'm
not even sure that
you know design you know
a lot of the fossils we find out those
actually lived on the earth it's very
very possible this earth was created by
layers from other previous planets where
these things are previously grown and
and put together oh boy
this is some this is Camelot
this is some project we have a lot of shit right
here yes and to be honest
like I knew that Joel Scousen was a bit
of like he has some weird beliefs
in such a lot of
like it comes from his
his family anti-communist royal yeah
yeah of course everything is a fucking
false flag to him he has strange
ideas about what communism is and is not
but this is this
is out of my
I did not know that the planet
itself was a false flag
from other planets it could
be he's not sure earth
could possibly be right
other planets false flagging us with
themselves these fossils they look weird
that's space well okay
that's from space man all right so I will
admit that there are millions of
people who have dedicated their entire lives
to studying and understanding what fossils
are and I could listen to any one
of them however they look weirder
to me than those people do so guess what
God space
God yeah but see here's the thing
that you don't understand about all those people study fossils
yes it's all a scam do you study
fossils because if you did
you would get into it and then
someone would come and put your put their arm around you
and be like listen it's all from fucking
space we're scamming people with
this academic I gotta get into this yeah
yeah that's why Indiana Jones was
so cool he knew it was all a scam
that was predictive program yeah exactly
it's a perfect grip that's why
you steal it from the foggy cult
yeah yeah um
so yeah I guess fossils coming from space
is gonna be another reason I'm not gonna take Joel Scows
them too seriously that would be a good reason
now I think you might also believe
in divine alchemy of some
sort this is this is also kind of weird
you know when you look at the chance
of this orbit of this earth
being so perfectly designed
in the tilted earth to have the perfect seasons
and the moon is in the perfect spot
and the moon is in the perfect spot
you're in the middle of an ice storm
perfect season there's just
no way that these things could happen
by chance this earth was
a design divine creation
and you know
most Christians believe in and they
should all believe in the fact that the lord
has power over the
over the elements meaning
the elements are intelligence enough
intelligent enough to obey commands
no no it isn't
natural law
that Moses smoked the rock and water poured out
it wasn't that he cracked it in the natural spring
you know the lord can
command that elements reform
and form any element necessary
because god is in command of everything created
and we're made the small image of god
we'll be right back
wait a way to throw it to break
now that that is a thought process that I
appreciate if god can
command the elements then the elements
must be smart enough to understand god
see now I didn't think of that
I didn't think that the
elementals could also obey
or disobey commands I suppose
yeah I guess the
the staggering
unlikely hood
of life leads one
to just decide
arbitrarily that it must be
fully designed and also the bible is literal
yeah how could how could we
have such a perfect environment a perfect
planet where massive
weather events are occurring almost
regularly due to our fault where
people are being destroyed
over and over and over again by droughts
because they get a perfect amount
of water wherever they go on the
the problem I'm guessing is that we're not burning
enough oil well carbon
is good for the planet is what I was told that's
what I'm hearing we're carbon dioxide
starved damn where's
my buddy Mark Moreno at when you this
dude is strange yeah
yeah and I was
listening to this I was like wow you're a much
weirder dude than I think
I I can kind
of see why you normally stick to
weird geopolitics as opposed
to some of these yeah more
esoteric beliefs because they're
very strange they
kind of make you look like a project
Camelot person to
answer that I'm gonna have to get the odd
theological oh well then I'm gonna have to leave
sir if the
question is why is there oil
and I have to get theological to answer it
good bye yes it was
lovely speaking to you don't have an answer
I
I mostly bring this up
and show this to be like
all right Joel Scousen
is somebody who Alex thinks is
super credible very
important source on
like geopolitics like
is Iran up to something
sure and he's also a person who thinks
that God injected oil in the world for us to find
and maybe fossils come from outer space
because they're weird look like
this is this is the level
of expert that
is hanging around here right right right beneath
the surface and you're going to find them
saying things like this
it's which is not to say that
you can't have some
out there beliefs and not
be you know like Jack Parsons
everybody who trusted him as an expert
when it came to rockets and shit
not when it came to elementals
not not true
sex magic was not real
yeah yeah it would be good if
you stayed in your lane say in your lane
now unfortunately
his lane is also bullshit that's a problem
thousands like
the difference between what lane
you're in yeah
I
don't know this was really interesting experience
for me because you know you start out with Alex
furious and just like I quit fuck this
I can't do this yeah this
sucks fuck this place I hate info wars
I want to quit yeah but
if he does start quite that bad you know
we're eventually going to get to
I'm going to have to get theological to answer that
question Alex you go
along the path you find out what's making him so mad
and it's just lying about this
department of energy document
yeah and
you know mellows out
says some bullshit and then you get
scousin and I think that this this illustrates
two really essential points
one is that Alex lies
like this document he's just
making shit up about it's just
over and over again finding
little things that he can use as like
like as if he's climbing up a mountain little
handholds that he can find to lie about
exactly and then the second thing I think
this illustrates is that like people like scousin
are
not reliable sources no
no so even if they have
the pretense and the aura and the
the the attempted facade
of being like a serious minded I look
at the documents and you know I go
where you know I I
I've read Carol Quigley's book and I am
left to assume that all
Democrats are evil or whatever the fuck
like even if you put on that hat
underneath that hat
is a dude who's weird yeah
the fossils and let's never forget
that patient zero
for COVID-19
was indeed Steve Pechenick
and he cured it with
antibiotics so
and
he rigged up this whole election
as a sting operation against the Democrats
yeah and Alex just can't handle his truth
nope nope nope
a lot of his experts are reliable he also
arrested the Pope
forgot about that year that's true that's
true there are a lot of exploits that are
are regularly
unmentioned despite their very
bombastic nature yeah
so anyway Jordan this has been fun
but we will uh we will
get off this uh this here horse
and we'll be back
but until then we have a website
it's KnowledgeFight.com
we are on Twitter is that KnowledgeFight
and I go to bed Jordan
we are on Facebook
please uh find a local charity
or bail fund in your area especially
to help out with people uh struggling
in Texas right now yeah we'll be back
but until then I'm Neo I'm Leo
I'm DZX Clark I'm Darryl Rundis
and I'm the juiciest ice cube
Andy and Chanza sure on the air thanks for holding
hello Alex I'm a first time caller I'm a huge fan
I love your work I love you
