I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys knowledge
fight.
Dan and George knowledge fight.
I need money.
Andy and Kansas.
Andy and Kansas.
Stop it.
Andy and Kansas.
Andy and Kansas.
It's time to pray.
Andy and Kansas.
You're on the earth.
Thanks for holding me.
Hello Alex, I'm Mr. Tim Collette.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
Knowledge fight.
No, no, no, no, no, knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
I'm Alex and I'm Mr. Tim Collette.
I love you.
I love you.
Hey everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
I'm Jordan.
We're good.
We'll do it.
Sit around worship at the altar of Celine and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Oh, indeed.
We are.
Jordan.
Jordan.
Quick question for you.
What's up?
What's your bright spot today?
My bright spot today.
Jordan is the continuing of the buttons.
Yes.
I'm sending them out.
Indeed.
And one of the things that I mentioned on a previous episode was that, you know, we're
taking care of the postage and everything.
Sure.
But if people feel so inclined because a lot of people have offered to pay for postage
to, you know, like there's a number of people in foreign countries and you're sending it
to the Netherlands.
We get it.
I understand why you want to offer postage.
Yeah.
And I appreciate that.
I don't want to sneeze on, on people's generosity.
Of course not.
Metaphorically.
I don't know why I used sneeze there, but be that as it may.
We've said that one of the things we can do is find a charity and donate in the name
of Celine.
Yes.
Yes.
Of course.
Let's take over the world and I got a really awesome thing that I wanted to share.
This is my bright spot.
Okay.
Okay.
Frederick H. adopted an elephant in Kenya.
All right.
All right.
I'm listening.
I'm listening in honor of Celine.
Fuck yes.
Celine.
My cat, Celine is now the foster parent of bondenny baby elephant in Kenya.
I feel.
That's amazing.
I feel so good about that.
I feel so good about that.
Oh my God.
I can't believe that we, that's, that's one of those moments where you're like, I didn't
realize the scope of this.
Yeah.
All of a sudden your cat is fostering a baby elephant and then you're like, okay, the world's
gone crazy.
It's something so great about the creativity of listeners like Frederick as well.
Like so much.
Yeah.
Taking the ball and running with it and doing something really cool and, uh, uh, overwhelmingly
helpful and beautiful.
Yes.
Also a personal message came in with that that is, uh, my neck is freakishly large.
I assume is from the elephant.
Yes.
They have thick old necks.
They do.
That's true.
Um, so thank you Frederick.
That was really awesome and it really brightened my, uh, my day and week, uh, just, uh, and
you know, my mom is a huge elephant person and so it's also, it was a nice coincidence
of a, of a.
She's a huge elephant person.
She'd be thrilled by the idea of my cat having a foster parent relationship with an
elephant.
Now we just need, now we just need to unite them and have Celine stand atop, uh, an elephant
at all times.
We're heading to Kenya.
I think we have to.
Yep.
Live show.
Absolutely.
Live show in Kenya.
Just to get that picture of Celine on an elephant.
That's what we need.
What's your bright spot?
Uh, my bright spot, Dan is far less consequential, uh, kind of makes me feel a little embarrassed
that this is my bright spot.
Uh, but have you ever had a cotton candy grape, Dan?
No, I was trying to think of what that, I think I feel like I've had grape flavored
cotton candy.
Yeah.
See, now this is the opposite.
It's cotton candy flavored grapes, grapes that taste like cotton candy, but to be fair,
cotton candy really is just sugar, right?
Right.
Sugar grapes.
Now here's what you need to understand.
All right.
And this is why it's my bright spot.
The packaging is exactly as defensive about that as you would imagine.
It's not just sugar.
Seriously.
It's like, they taste like cotton candy and you, they know that your, your first reaction
is going to be like, Oh, okay.
So they're sweet grapes and then you eat one and you're like, shit, this tastes like cotton
candy and their packaging is so fucking different.
It's like, no, we know you think it's just sugar.
Give us a chance.
Give us a chance.
It's really cotton candy.
Where'd you, where'd you get these at?
The grocery store?
Yeah.
I got them at the grocery store.
Weird.
Yeah.
I know.
Mm.
Fantastic.
You can't eat these grapes.
Me neither.
Oh, that's cool.
That's, I'll keep my eyes open.
It's a bright spot and it's great.
Oh, also I saw that someone posted a picture of the Skittles gummies with weed in them.
Yes.
Yes, they did.
Those do exist.
Well done.
Or at least Skittles with weed in them.
Please don't mail them to us.
I think that's still a federal crime.
I think so.
You should be able to find them though, based on the legality here in the city of Chicago.
Yes.
So Jordan, today we have episode to go over.
We're going to be talking about the 4th of July, which is Alex's 4th of July, honestly.
Yeah.
You know, like it's metaphorically, it's his big day.
It's the Christmas and July sale of Christmases.
Yeah.
So we're going to talk about that a little bit and then something else entirely.
But before we get to that, we're going to get deep.
Giving someone life is giving someone death.
You could say that life is death.
You could.
God, I'll never get tired of that.
Just the simple, the simple minded confusion whenever he lands upon, you know, life and
death are one and the same.
It's just perfect.
Yes.
I just love it.
I love it so much.
He is a philosopher.
He's a philosopher.
So Elaine, out in New Zealand, want to wish you a happy birthday?
Also I will say this, from the people who are requesting buttons, we have a listenership
in New Zealand that surprises me a little bit.
I love it.
And that is something that I definitely would consider going to do a show.
Oh yeah.
An excuse to go to New Zealand.
I am pretty sure in order to get citizenship in New Zealand, you need a sponsor and hey,
if you are a wonk, I might need it.
Also Jeff reached out and wanted us to wish Diana a happy birthday.
So happy birthday, Diana.
Happy birthday, Diana.
And brother Sean, Sean, the brother of this person, messaged and wanted to wish his brother.
Well, I didn't know how to phrase this.
Okay.
Anyway, Sean wanted to wish his brother Cody a happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Cody.
And Sean said, quote, thank, I don't know, I have to say, quote, like it's a primary
source.
You're quoting from the Washington Post, quote, thank you for helping me become the wonk
I am today.
Or perhaps I should be asking for an apology.
Unquote.
Yes.
Well done.
Yeah, I would.
I would very much be disappointed if you didn't end those brackets, otherwise we could be
in trouble.
Yeah, the whole rest of this episode.
Yeah, we could.
We could be slanderous.
So Jordan on the fourth, that was over the weekend, Alex Jones put out a special report
or put out a report on the fourth sure that I thought was, you know, eh, underwhelming.
Okay.
So I want to encourage everybody to be the captain of your own life and to think about,
even though it's cheesy, metaphorically putting a captain's hat on.
He's got to stop right there really quick.
He is wearing that captain's hat that may or may not be the same one from his Halloween
story.
Is he wearing a Nazi cap?
It might be the same one from his Halloween story where everyone said it was a Nazi hat
and he got really defensive about it.
But yeah, he's wearing the hat in order for him to be like, be the captain of your own
life like this.
I'm wearing a hat.
Oh boy.
That's bad.
I'm going to try to chart my own course in life.
I'm not just going to believe CNN or the New York Times or the United Nations or Dr. Fauci.
And there's a great example of declaring independence from the New World Order and the
globalist and taking our lives back one person, one household, one town, one state, one country
at a time.
And it's a big interview, an emergency broadcast that Joe Rogan did an emergency podcast with
two scientists that have been censored, demonetized and persecuted.
Because they're covering mainline truth.
This episode of Rogan's podcast that Alex is referring to came out on June 22nd and
didn't feature two scientists, COVID scientists.
It featured one scientist named Pierre Corey and one member of the intellectual dark web
named Brett Weinstein.
Sure.
If you don't remember Brett Weinstein, I envy you.
He rose to prominence because he was a professor at Evergreen State College and he got really
mad about the 2017 day of absence.
If you forgot about that, it was a thing where every year, minority students and faculty
members can choose to stay off campus as a way of celebrating the things that they bring to the school.
Yeah, I remember that now.
In 2017, they decided to try to reverse the experience and asked white students and
faculty to voluntarily stay off campus for the day.
Oh my God, I hate this guy so much.
Brett Weinstein made a big deal out of this and took it upon himself to enlist the help of Fox News
and countless other shitheads to turn this into one of the most pressing matters of free speech in America.
Eww, eww, eww, eww, white racism.
This national attention naturally made the situation on campus more intense and
protests began and escalated, which culminated in Weinstein and his wife resigning from the school
and suing for $3.8 million, claiming that the school had failed to protect him from students.
Uh, sure.
To get some sense of how frivolous his shit was, the school settled the case with him and his wife for $250,000 each,
which is a ridiculously small amount for the couple to accept unless they knew they were lucky to get anything.
Yeah, they were very lucky to get something.
Since then, Weinstein's been a guest on Rogan a few times and is just a general dum-dum,
hanging out with idiots like Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin.
In the 2020 election, he used his position to try to draft Tulsi Gabbard and Dan Crenshaw
onto a ticket to run for president on the Unity 2020 ticket.
Well, that would have done it.
Yep.
That would have solved it.
That would have fucking, who filled the Americas?
That's what would have happened on that one.
What ticket would appeal to the left and the right or nobody?
I can't think of more of an oxymoronic statement than emergency podcast.
Yeah.
Oh, that is that.
Well, I mean, we, we, I guess we're sort of joking whenever we say there's an emergency episode.
Very joking.
Um, also, uh, Brett Weinstein's brother is another member of the Intellectual Dark Web, Eric Weinstein,
who's one of the managing directors at Teal Capital.
That company, of course, is run by Peter Teal, who famously made giant donations to Trump's 2016 campaign,
spoke at the Republican convention that year.
And of course, Bankroll, Hulk Hogan's lawsuit that took down Gawker.
Yeah.
There's, there's very little difference between Teal Capital and the Legion of Doom.
Yeah.
My point here is that the Weinsteins are super cool.
Yeah.
They're great.
Lately, Brett has been getting into some COVID territory and has been widely rebuked
for his public promotion of ivermectin as a cure for the virus.
God damn it.
He was going on Rogan's show to discuss this along with this doctor friend.
Pierre Corey is a doctor who's been making very suspect claims about ivermectin since
at least late 2020, calling it a quote, wonder drug, even though the actual evidence for
such a claim is very lacking.
There are some studies that appear to indicate slight benefits that could come from ivermectin,
but they're far from definitive.
Other studies show no benefit from the drug.
There just isn't consistent good data to show that it's a cure, and people who go around
promoting it as such are acting in ways that are super dangerous for the general public.
Yeah.
Anyway, Alex is doing a fourth of July special report and he decided to open by talking about
how Joe Rogan did an episode two weeks ago with this doctor and Brett Weinstein overhyping
ivermectin.
And that's a declaration of independence or something.
This is sad.
Yeah.
That's that's great.
That's great.
This is a mess.
You know, this is the fourth of July.
America's history, if we're going to talk about the fourth of July episode, let's get
into the history of the United States.
I just want to say that one of the big problems that really is coming back to bite us is our
long history of loving snake oil salesmen to the point where now you can hear the word
wonder drug and I go, oh, you mean snake oil and other people are like, I love wonder drugs
and you're like, well, we're just stuck with this forever.
This is just how we live.
Yeah.
We made a mistake in being like, like cheer rooting for the scam artists to get out of
the monorail.
If it weren't for Phil Hartman crushing the monorail song, we would be way better off.
You think that's where I think that's where it started.
I think that was all.
It all goes back to the Simpson stand.
So everything goes back on this episode or this special report to Rogan, I guess.
That's what the fourth of July is about.
Sure.
We've got these two big scientists that are very well known being censored and demonetized
off YouTube or their platforms.
Tell the truth.
And Joe had the courage to have them on and have them lay this whole out.
And it's a very, very powerful interview.
I watched it a few days ago.
So I guess Alex watched the whole thing and didn't realize that Brett Weinstein isn't
a censored COVID doctor.
What is weird?
Courage.
It takes to bring two dumb, dumb scam artists onto your $100 million podcast.
Listened by the most number of people in the world.
Very brave.
Out brave.
Out courageous.
Also, since that episode had come out and before this fourth of July report that Alex
is doing, Rogan had Quentin Tarantino on as a guest, which would infuriate Alex.
Alex hates Quentin Tarantino and Joe should know better than to have that kind of a globalist
on his show.
That's trouble.
Yeah.
That's going to get people in trouble.
I got to do an emergency episode about Joe and Quentin Tarantino on no matter about
that.
Oh man, I'm going to try and get back on.
So we got a little headline here that Alex brings up.
All right.
The defender had a good boil down of it.
Joe Rogan's emergency podcast questions YouTube censorship of Quentin showing Ivermectin
as an effective COVID-19 treatment.
You ever hear of the defender?
No.
It seemed like an interesting citation.
I hadn't really heard him toss out that as a place he got news from before.
Oh, I thought that was just like a person who was defending this bullshit.
I thought it was like a Twitter defender.
Oh.
You know, like that.
No, the defender is a publication.
Yeah, it's an outlet.
Oh.
Turns out it's an online publication put out by a group called the Children's Health
Defense.
There we go.
That's an anti-abortion group.
That's an anti-abortion group.
Oh, come on.
That's an anti-trafficking, anti-abortion bullshit group.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Children's Health Defense means anti-abortion.
No, no, no, no.
That sounds great to me.
I love defending the health of children.
No, everybody does.
That's why it's an anti-abortion group.
Case closed.
Sorry.
Children's Defense of Health.
Great.
It turns out it's an anti-vax outfit run by Robert Kennedy Jr.
They began in 2016 being called the World Mercury Project, but then changed their name, probably
because they want to try and obscure the fact that there are out and out intense anti-vax
advocates as opposed to independent purveyors of information.
I thought the estate of Freddie Mercury sued them.
No, no, it was about Mercury being in the vaccines preservatives.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
They're kind of anti-vaccine propagandists, so it makes sense why they would call their
outlets something innocuous like the Defender, so you can cite their articles without sounding
like the kind of person who takes Robert Kennedy Jr. seriously.
Yeah.
Because that's one of the sources Alex considers not fake news, which is pretty sweet.
That's great.
That's real great.
That's real great.
Yep.
It's kind of funny how they get paid by people who are anti-vax people, who get money from
being anti-vax people, and by putting this out, people are less likely to take vaccines
and more likely to give money to the anti-vax people who pay for the coverage in the Defender.
So people, I'm starting to see how this business model works.
I think it's a good one.
It is.
It works.
It does work.
So we have one last clip of this Fourth of July special report, which is just Alex in the
middle of a field or maybe his backyard.
I don't know how this had on.
Sure.
Sure.
It had taken a break from the barbecue.
Yeah.
This is a barbecue that if you turn the camera around, there's a ton of people all enjoying
themselves.
Rob Doos passed out on a lawn chair.
Totally.
Yes.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Some random dude is fishing nearby.
Yep.
Got it.
Buckley is mixing on the ones and twos.
They had to ask him to turn off the music for a little bit so Alex could do a special
report.
Yeah.
This is the last little clip I have.
So I hereby declare my independence on July 4, 2021 again from the New World Order.
I declare my sovereign free human being.
Again?
I say I'm not their slave and I pledge my life, my honor, my funds, my children, everything
I am on the altar of liberty as Thomas Jefferson said over every form of tyranny over the mind
of man.
So I mean like your response to that is so right.
I mean, again, this is so meaningless.
Again?
I know it's been a while since we've done a little bit of discussion about Jefferson
and Alex quoted him.
So I don't, I don't, I think that we've gone into this a little bit in the past, but I
want to read you the larger context of that Jefferson quote that's thrown around a lot.
Yeah.
This is from a letter from 1800 that he sent to Benjamin Rush.
Right.
Quote, I promised you a letter on Christianity, which I have not forgotten.
On the contrary, it is because I reflected on it that I find much more time necessary
for it than I can at present dispose of.
I have a view of the subject which ought to displease neither the rational Christian
or deist and would reconcile many to a character they have too hastily rejected.
I do not know, however, it would reconcile the irritable tribe of prophets who are all
in arms against me.
Their hostility is on too interesting ground to be softened.
The delusions into which the XYZ plot shoot it possible to push the people.
The successful experiment made under the prevalence of that delusion on the cause of
the Constitution, which while it secured the freedom of the press, covered also the
freedom of religion, had given to the clergy a favorite hope of obtaining an establishment
of a particular form of Christianity through the United States.
And as every sect believes its own form, the true one, everyone perhaps hoped for its
own, but especially the Episcopalians and Congregationalists.
The returning good sense of our country threatens abortion to their hopes,
and they believe that any position of power confided to me will be exerted in opposition
to their schemes.
And they believe truly, for I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility
against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
But this is all they have to fear from me.
And slavery is...
Every form of tyranny over the...
Anyways.
So while it is true that Thomas Jefferson said essentially the words that Alex loves
to quote, the reality is that every time Alex repeats that saying, he's using it incorrectly.
The context that Jefferson said those words in had to do with an opposition to Christian
churches using the First Amendment freedom of religion to establish what would effectively
be an official religion of the United States.
If Alex had been around in 1800, he would have absolutely been one of the irritable tribe
advocates who were at war with Jefferson.
100.
And the irony of Alex using this quote to pump himself up in his quest to bring about
a Christian theocracy in the United States, that is not lost on me.
No.
If Alex understood the primary sources he uses, I honestly think that this would be A plus
trolling.
Yeah.
Using this quote in the way that he uses it.
Oh yeah.
While pushing for the things that he pushes for.
Yeah, it's analogous exactly to their form of Christianity insofar as it's like, it says
we say it does and God damn you if you read it.
That's a terrible idea.
You'll realize that it doesn't mean what we say it means and that's why we tell you
not to read.
Don't read.
Don't read.
So I found this video message really confusing.
The title of it is We're Winning.
Alex Jones is 2021 fourth of July message, which kind of flies in the face of his routine
outbursts about how we're all going to die whenever he has tech problems in studio.
Right.
But whatever.
Also apropos considering he's wearing a Nazi hat while he's doing this, they are
seeming to be winning right now.
Allegedly not.
The video itself was basically just I'm trying to pump himself up and talking about a recent
episode of the Rogan podcast.
He spends like a third of the video suggesting guests that Joe should have on.
It's absurd.
Did he suggest us?
No.
Oh, that's surprising.
And I'm going to preemptively reject that invitation.
I'll go on.
I'm going to preemptively reject that invitation that let's be clear will never come.
But I will go on.
If it's Tim J. Dillon and Joe Rogan, and I just get to shit on them all the time.
I'll do it.
I don't take that swing.
I felt like this video is just pathetic.
And it was the it was the energy that Alex was bringing on the fourth of July, which
should be this day to shine.
I just don't know how interested I could possibly be to see what he's doing on the fifth or
talk about what the I just like, if you can't like get it going on the fourth, you, you
have really disappointed.
Yeah, I really thought that he was going to come when you said there was a July fourth
special video, I thought he was going to come out swinging against critical race theory.
That's something that's the thing in my mind that was like, that's him going to be patriotic.
I thought I thought there would be something something.
So I just was like, OK, you're on time out.
I'm going to look around your website.
See what I can figure out.
See if I can get the temperature of info wars based on band.video.
See what's going on.
Yeah.
So I found a couple of interesting things.
The first thing I found was that all of Alex's shows have recently been pushing Nick Fuentes
quite a bit.
Oh, fuck me.
I suspect one element of this is I think that Nick was recently like in Austin.
So he just went and did all the shows.
Sure.
Also, I think that Nick might be realizing who cares.
Yeah.
What do I have to lose by trying to steal Alex's audience?
I'm already an out and out avowed white nationalist.
What's what's lower?
Yeah.
Where can I go lower?
Yeah.
The best I can do is probably co-opt Alex's audience, get them over on my side.
The worst thing that can happen is I get kicked off info wars streaming platform because I'm too.
No.
Right.
And then I get to call Alex a Zionist cuck or something.
Yeah.
Great.
He'll get publicity out of starting a few.
No matter what, it's a win for him.
He's a winner.
So also the other thing that I realized is bad news for them.
Yeah.
I compared the view totals of the other main shows that Alex has.
Sure.
How are they doing?
Oh, and Troyers War Room and Harrison Smith's American Journal.
Uh-huh.
Man, for some of their clickbait titles of their like little videos, little clips that
they put out of their shows, some of them have okay views.
But man, no one is watching their actual shows.
Yeah.
Of course.
It's a no man's land over there in terms of their full, full videos.
I almost want to go back and see how many old David Knight views we have now and just
see if he's really like kicking himself, just going like God damn it.
I've got Harrison Smith boring people with his white nationalist garbage.
I think that I think that David Knight had an appeal to a different segment than any
of these shows do.
I think so too.
Yeah.
I think it was a terrible decision from a business.
No, but no, you got to pick Stevie P's.
Didn't even give Steve his own show yet.
Nope.
So I felt like it was time, like I said, to take a little bit of a day away from Alex.
Let him cool his heels a little bit.
Sure, sure.
And honestly though, Owen and Harrison were looking like real disappointments.
But then I realized they're featuring Nick Fuentes a lot.
And then I remembered that Nick was just giving his own channel on Alex's website,
band.video.
Oh God.
He has his own America first channel on there.
Get the fuck out.
Like maybe it was time that we check in and see what kind of content Nick was putting
out and that Alex is signing off on and hosting on his own website.
Oh, fuck me.
No, it'll be fun.
No, why are you making me do this?
No, you're going to get so mad.
You already know what would happen.
I honestly think that when I started this, I was like, God, this will be fun.
This will make Jordan mad.
And as I got through it, I was like, wow, I can't believe that this is just on Alex's
website.
Oh God.
It is a bit even more overt than I was expecting.
Wow.
Wow.
Cool cool cool cool cool.
So the first video that I saw, I was like, let's check this out.
Sure.
The title of it is The Purpose of Juneteenth is White Replacement.
If they changed it to that, I'm fine with it.
But also, they'd have to change it to that.
Yes, they would have to change it to that.
But if they did, I'm fine with it.
Here's how this starts.
And here's our latest example, which proves I'm right.
You smug piece of shit.
Some R&B singer, and I'm sure this is a sentiment shared by a lot of black people in a lot of non-white people in this country.
She says, why stop at a dependence day?
We should have a new American flag.
And this is an op-ed, she wrote.
She said, quote, the Confederate battle flag, which was created as a symbol of opposition to the abolition of slavery, is just recently tired.
We don't see it much anymore, however, on the 6th, when the stormers rained on the nation's most precious hut, waving old glory, the memo was received.
The American flag is its replacement.
It's a little disappointing that the underpinning of Nick's argument is an op-ed that was written by Macy Gray that was published in, not in the New York Times or the Washington Post, but on MarketWatch.
No disrespect to Macy Gray or MarketWatch, but this isn't the level of thing that I would expect a self-respecting white nationalist to take seriously.
Yeah, no disrespect to Macy Gray.
Fuck MarketWatch.
If you pay close attention to how Nick is discussing this article, you can see a couple of really important assumptions and fabrications that he has to make in order for this to even be something he can use for his narrative.
Sure.
The first is that he has to take this op-ed written by Macy Gray and present it not just as her opinion, but as an opinion that Nick is sure is shared by a lot of non-white people.
I guess if what Nick was responding to is a giant groundswell of support for this op-ed, specifically in non-white communities, then he might be able to make that rhetorical trick work.
But as it stands, he's just responding to one person's opinion and then pretending he's responding to a consensus view.
He's doing that because he knows it would come off as a little sad if he were just this upset about an op-ed written by a singer whose biggest hit came out just after his first birthday.
He has to make a much bigger deal out of this than it is to justify his outrage.
The second thing he does is escalate the argument that's being made by Macy Gray.
Nick says, quote, she says, why stop at Independence Day, we should have a new American flag.
This op-ed says nothing about replacing Independence Day with Juneteenth.
That's just Nick's thing.
It just didn't happen.
That's complete distortion of the argument that Gray is making in the piece.
This is just about the idea that maybe we should get a new flag.
A bunch of shitheads are ruining this one and also DC and Puerto Rico should be states, so we should add more stars.
Gray does even bring up how our flag hasn't been consistent through the country's history and the current version's only like...
No, it's sacrosanct!
Okay.
The points brought up in this op-ed are things you can agree with or disagree with.
You can think it's a good idea to make a new flag or think it's a bad one,
but in order for your reaction to rise to the level of racist outrage that Nick wants to engage in,
you really do have to create a strawman version to attack, so that's what he's doing.
This isn't just an op-ed written by Macy Gray.
She's speaking for large groups of non-whites.
Sure.
This isn't just an idea about a flagry design.
It's secretly about replacing Independence Day with Juneteenth.
It's nonsense.
Man, he will not like my interpretation of Lisa Lefte and the correctness of Burning Down Houses.
Oh no.
I'll tell you that right now, because I'm pretty sure I read an op-ed by Lisa Lefte's ghost that said Burn Down Nick Fuentes' house.
How many shoes does he have?
I don't know!
Shoes plus bathtub equals...
It was in Benzinga or whatever fucking finance website there are.
So here's Nick talking about the horrors that will happen because of this idea of possibly updating the flag.
After this reaches its final destination, what do you have left?
Probably nothing before the 20th century.
Maybe nothing before the 21st century.
How long before they say that anything before Barack Obama is the new Confederate flag?
Anything before Barack Obama is the new Jefferson Davis.
Anything before Barack Obama is the new Ku Klux Klan.
How long before Juneteenth becoming a national holiday?
June 19th, 2021 is our new Independence Day.
And Barack Obama was our founding father.
What?
That seems to be where all of this is headed.
And tell me that it's me and the... and Pat Buchanan and Michelle Malkin and the Paleocons and Donald Trump fighting to preserve our white European Western Christian identity as a nation.
And these people trying to destroy that and replace it with a black, foreign, non-white liberation theology, post-colonial identity.
On the same side, against who?
All these Jews and all these intellectuals and all these other people that don't believe in race.
All these boomer, idiot conservatives that say that race isn't real and identity isn't real.
And we all have to build a new country on the fact that we buy Nike and we listen to popular music.
That's the nature of our struggle.
Holy shit.
That was an astonishing amount of racism compacted into a very short period of time.
Yeah, yeah. It is, I mean, these conversations and stuff like this is not unfamiliar to places like Storm Front or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
And this is what's on Alex's site now.
Jesus.
This is what he's giving a channel to.
Straight up.
Yeah.
Man.
I've realized, I think this is what I'm learning, is that there's just no way to talk to people like Nick Fuentes.
No, probably not.
You just can't do it.
No.
What we gotta do, all right, here's my new plan.
Cesar Milano, all right?
Whenever somebody's nearby and he's like saying some racist shit, you just poke him right in the neck and you're like,
until he stops.
And then whenever he stops, you give him a nice little training treat, you know what I'm saying?
Like you got to do it the old fashioned, like skinner straight up behavioral fucking modification.
That's what we got to do.
That's the only way.
I mean, I think that I did make a reference to Danny the dog on our last episode.
So maybe I'm wrong about that.
I think I think that you're what you just said will be interpreted by someone like Nick as being like,
they want to put us in retraining camps.
Yeah, I mean, I just think I want to put you in dog camps.
All right.
This is Jordan's opinion.
So I think like I was watching that as like, this is pretty, I mean, this is it.
This is a distortion of what was being said in the in the op ed.
Yeah, that's being used specifically for the reasons of being able to create this backlash argument.
Right.
Right.
And I was like, well, that's that's a distortion that turns into wholesale fabrication on top of that.
Yeah.
So yeah, I thought this was this was pretty bad, just like as a first volley.
Yeah.
But I was like, hey, what else is going on over here on the old Fuentes channel?
And then I saw this video.
The screenshot of it, the image is Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor Greene,
an arrow pointing at Matt Gates says grifter and an arrow pointing to Marjorie Taylor Greene that says fake.
And says, these people are not America first.
And the title of the video is wake up.
The Holocaust religion is antithetical to America first.
Ah, bark, bark, bark, bark.
Yep.
That's about all I got for that.
So here's a little bit of that clip.
These people are not America first.
You can't be America first and go out weeping and apologizing about the Holocaust museum.
The Holocaust happened on another continent a hundred years ago.
There's a genocide problem so now against Americans and no one even cares.
And you think that's an exaggeration?
Marjorie Taylor Greene was called out because she compared the vaccine mandate to the Holocaust.
Do you think it's a little bit comparable that today in America, white people are not allowed to get COVID stimulus money from the government?
No.
That's a little bit comparable.
No.
You're a white person and you call your bank and say, I'd like to apply for the personal paycheck protection program loan for self employed people.
And they'll tell you you're white.
You're not eligible to apply.
You think that's a little similar.
You think if you're a farmer or a restaurant owner and you call up your bank and say, I'd like to apply for the COVID relief because the government wrecked the economy.
And they say you're not eligible to apply because you're white that that's a little bit the same.
I was unaware that white people couldn't get COVID stimulus money.
And in fact, I actually know many white people, some individual citizens and some small business owners who actually did get loans and stimulus money.
So I have no idea what Nick is talking about.
I know plenty.
I know plenty.
So I tried to look into this a little bit and I found a couple of stories that kind of are the opposite of what Nick is talking about.
The LA Times reported in April, 2020 that U.S. citizens who are immigrants and are married to non citizens were specifically excluded from Trump's financial relief package that covered over one million citizens who were cut out.
Yeah, I was going to say my problem with Nick's first thought that white people can't get it is that it is mathematically impossible, but the vast majority of those funds did not go to white people.
Sure.
It's like the vast majority went to white people.
Yeah.
What Nick is talking about was a provision of the COVID relief bill that provided $5 billion in relief to quote disadvantaged farmers, approximately a quarter of whom are black.
From an article in the Washington Post quote, black farmers in America have lost more than 12 million acres of farmland over the past century, mostly since the 1950s.
A result of what agricultural experts and advocates for black farmers say is a combination of systemic racism, biased government policy and social and business practices that have denied African Americans equitable access to markets.
Yeah, the farm version of redlining.
Yeah, discrimination started a century ago with a series of federal homestead acts that offered mainly white settlers deeply subsidized land.
Since then, local US departments of agriculture offices charged with distributing loans have frequently been found to deny black farmers access to credit and to ignore or delay loan applications.
Yeah.
Many black farmers don't have clear title to their land, which makes them ineligible for certain USDA loans to purchase livestock or cover the cost of planting, and they have seldom benefited from subsidy payments or trade mitigation compensation.
Almost all of President Donald Trump's $28 billion bailout for those affected by the China trade war went to white farmers.
According to the assessment, they cite the average white farmer received $3398 from Trump's bailout while the average black farmer received $422.
Right.
There's a larger problem regarding how independent agriculture is treated in this country regardless of race, and that's something that we do absolutely have to work on.
But it's also completely absurd to look at the history of black farming in America and not recognize that there was a concerted attempt to exclude black people from having access to and participating in that market.
You can be against this if you want, as Nick clearly does want, but to frame opposition to the provision of the COVID relief bill as white people are being genocided because they can't get COVID stimulus, that's a little bit much,
considering this is also just a $5 billion provision in a $1.9 trillion bill.
Yeah.
So yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I guess maybe if he's talking about something else where all white people couldn't get COVID relief.
I don't know what that is, though. I know that this was a big talking point among his community and his crowd.
Yeah, I really despise. I really despise that the people most obsessed with portraying themselves as like self sustaining, fucking amazing individualists only ever seem to follow whiny cowards who pick the tiniest bullshit to then tell them that every
victimization that they've ever imagined is true and they're all a bunch of morons and I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
It's infuriating and I think you're going to have a real tough time with some of the rest of the stuff we're going to be talking about.
So here's what I think might be a good idea. This might be an instance of an episode where it's all mic down.
No interruption over any clips.
I feel like an eruption, but from afar because otherwise I'm pretty sure you're going to yell over a lot of this and I would like to present Nick in his own words.
I don't want to. I don't want to show like a distorted version of Alex yelling over Brian Stelter show. I get it. I get it.
And I don't know if you and I'm not saying this is a failing on your part. I don't know if you'd be able to stop yourself.
I'm not worried that I will not be heard no matter where the microphone in this room may be as a default.
Keep it a little bit away from you is all I'm saying because we're about to get it to. Oh my God. How how is this possible?
So Nick put out a video that is it's got some real emotional music behind it and it is a plea about how the system hates white people.
System hates them. Which system? The system. The system. Which system is that? The system of my heart. The system.
You just got to understand it's the system. OK. So here's where we're going to begin on this and I've cut out very little from this.
The seven minute report. Oh God. A couple of little bits I did but they were where he's just repeating himself essentially. Here's the beginning and oh boy.
Let's just call what it is. The system hates white people. It's just what it is and everybody wants to call it everything other than that.
They want to call it everything other than what it is. You may hear conservatives talk about cultural Marxism. Critical race theory.
That's the new one. Got to ban critical race theory CRT and critical race theory has Marxist origins. It's socialism. It's communism. It's anti-western.
It's anti-western civilization. Anti-western culture. Conservatives even will call it anything other than what it is because it's not politically correct to say what it is.
You can't utter it in polite society but we all know what it is. It's racial. It's racial hatred. They hate white people.
This little boy, Cash Gernon, was murdered, dragged out of his bed in the middle of the night in his home and murdered outside his house in the street by a black man because he was white.
That black guy killed a white boy because he was white and this black guy hated white people. That's why he did it. It wasn't active hatred. It wasn't random. It was an act of racial hatred perpetrated by a black male against a white boy.
And why is everybody so afraid to call it that? Of course that's what it is.
So there's one really important thing that needs to be kept in mind entirely as we discuss this situation and that is that this case is pretty recent.
At this point there's a suspect who's been arrested and charged but he's not been found guilty and while it may very well turn out to be the case that this 18-year-old Darren Brown did in fact kill this 4-year-old child,
Nick Fuentes is making a lot of assumptions about the circumstances in order to make this child's death an emotionally resonant centerpiece for his white identity propaganda.
So the woman taking care of the child, the circumstance here is basically that the woman was the girlfriend of the child's parent and the child's parent father had left town and so she was taking care of the kid at the time.
So this woman, she identified Brown from surveillance footage of the child being taken from his crib and she knew Brown because he was friends with her son.
Additionally police have stated that sunglasses, shoes and hoodie that were taken from Brown after a search that says positive for the child's blood so it does look like there's a decent case coming together that he may be guilty.
Sure.
The court will determine what it determines but a case is being built.
Sure.
That said, even if you are to break with the American tradition, Nick loves America, you break with that tradition of presuming innocence until a court finds someone guilty and you decide that he is definitely the murderer, it's still super unfair the way Nick is presenting this case.
Nick is saying that Brown killed this 4-year-old child because the child was white and that he hated white people.
I've read a number of pieces about this case and I don't know where Nick could possibly be getting that from.
What seems much more likely is that Darren Brown is somebody who is experiencing a terrifying and awful mental disturbance.
In February of this year, Brown was also alleged to have broken into another home nearby and appeared to be in the middle of a burglary when he was confronted by the homeowner.
They got into a quarrel and Brown was removed from the house.
Thereupon, he re-entered and attempted to take the man's 2-year-old granddaughter.
The grandfather fought Brown off and protected the young child but decided not to press charges at that time.
From a CBS article about the situation, quote,
Two weeks after the incident, the man ran into Brown at Walmart.
He told police that Brown approached him and apologized saying he was sorry for breaking into his house and trying to take his grandchild.
Additionally, another neighbor, Jose Alvarado, decided to check his security cameras after the murder to see if he could find anything.
Ten weeks prior to the murder, he found video of Brown, quote,
Skulking down the street, opening Alvarado's backyard gate and peering in before quickly walking away.
Alvarado has multiple young children.
Brown's mother has also stated that he's a patient at an adult treatment center and there have been some speculations that he may be schizophrenic.
All of the details of this story are absent from Nick's version of it because those are indications that maybe there's more to this case
than just a matter of relative skin colors of victim and alleged perpetrator.
Nick doesn't want to tell people about the multiple other instances in that neighborhood of Brown appearing to be trying to take children
because it would overcomplicate the story and make it no longer useful for him to use as a prop that he needs to justify his white identity anger.
And that anger is something he's felt long before this case ever came along.
I'm all for humanizing victims of crimes and I think that what happened here is a complete unqualified tragedy.
From all available evidence, I just don't see any support for the version of the story that Nick is telling where this is a racially motivated crime.
By insisting that this crime is motivated by racial hate towards white people from black people,
what Nick is attempting to do is take the justifiable and understandable emotional reaction that a listener might have to hearing about this case
that he wants to transform that into anger at black people and a defensiveness about being white.
He's effectively trying to use this child's death as fuel for his racism machine, which I find repulsive.
One of the main points I want to make here is that all of the information that I reviewed,
I can find no indication that would lead me to make the assumption that Nick is making about the motive of this case.
Articles often even include a comment from Cameron, the son of the woman who was watching the child at the time.
Cameron also went to school with Brown. I think they were even the same age.
Cameron was asked about a possible motive and he said, quote, random, yes, random out of nowhere for no reason.
There's no reason for none of this. It's not from revenge, not from hate, not from none of that, nothing.
To get back at us? Nothing.
There are actually indications in the articles and primary sources from people involved in the situation that they don't believe that it was crime motivated by hate,
but this is the exact opposite of the story as reported by Nick Fuentes.
Because the reality is that Nick doesn't care about this story at all outside of how he can use it to push his worldview.
He doesn't care about this child or his family. He doesn't care about any of the pain that anyone involved is feeling.
That's just the facade that Nick puts on in order to give his bigotry some plausible deniability and make it acceptable to behave this way.
This is gross.
It's fucked up and it's an assault. It's an assault in the sense that the way that you interact with this story,
if you are at all an empathetic person, is to hear the story and just feel nothing but heartbreak for everyone involved.
Terror.
It's just absolutely nightmarish.
And then for somebody with a mental illness, that kind of other terror of like, there but for the grace, you know what I'm saying?
But whenever Nick Fuentes gets involved, you can't experience that empathy.
He blocks it by forcing you to feel nothing but rage, either at something or at him.
It is like if you are wandering up to somebody who is bleeding out on the fucking ground,
and then you have somebody just barge in and tell you why it's okay for them to be dying,
and you don't have time to help that person out because you're too busy trying to fight off how fucking awful this person is as they try and kill them.
That's a fascinating thought.
And I guess that kind of gets into like, I guess a little bit of the difference in our reactions.
You know, because I don't get that anger at Nick.
I mean, I understand it, but that's not my immediate reaction.
My immediate reaction is let's see what the details of the story are.
And I think a lot of people probably do respond the same way that you're talking about.
That's probably why he acts like such a big troll, is to elicit that angry response that does not allow you to deal with the reality of the situations that he's covered.
I can't do any good.
All I can do is feel fury at this human being that is exploiting people who I also can't help and just feel rage about it.
It doesn't help anybody do anything.
And it's simply an assault on everyone who listens.
It is an assault.
And that's what that's what fucking drives me so insane when we're talking about like illegality and freedom of speech and all that shit.
This is an absolute fucking override of any humanity.
Yeah, and maybe maybe that's maybe that's the lesson or maybe that's something that's good to recognize is like that anger is okay to feel.
But in its absence, it's meaningless or it's playing into the hands of the people like Nick Fuentes.
If all you do is feel like a fuck you at him or whatever.
Totally.
Now I can't help that person who's bleeding out.
Right.
All I have is fury.
Right.
Yeah.
There needs to be like a recognition of not a like you can't feel bad at yourself because you're angry at them.
Right.
But there needs to be another layer to it.
And that brings you to a resentment like my first reaction to him talking about this story is that I can't allow myself to feel that full open empathy towards the subject of his story.
Because if I do, that's his trap, you know.
And so my reaction to that, of course, is fury because you're taking away my ability to even be a human being.
You're forcing me to focus on your bullshit.
And then I feel a resentment that what am I doing being angry?
This anger doesn't solve anything.
It doesn't help us.
It doesn't help him.
It doesn't help the person who's suffering.
It's interesting.
It's a fucking assault.
So this goes on.
I'm doing great.
I'm going to put my mic down for the next two or three hours.
Sounds good.
Sounds good.
So this video continues with its very dramatic music.
What are people learning in the schools?
When you go to grade school and you go to American history class, what do you learn about?
In the new Howard Zinn curriculum, you learn about how white people genocided the indigenous Americans.
White people enslaved black people and brought them over here.
Once freed by whites, whites mistreated blacks by being racist towards them, terrorizing them,
clan, segregating them, making them drink in separate water fountains.
We hear about how white supremacist Nazis try to take over the whole world with their fascist ideology
in World War II with Adolf Hitler.
Real quick, so far this is just a list of things that are real.
This is a list of things that happen.
And it's not like in school, that's all you learn.
No, you also learn other stuff.
Yeah.
Is his problem that people just...
His argument is people always, always only talk about how bad white people are.
Why don't we get rid of that part and just talk about how great white people are?
I guess.
That's his argument.
I hate him.
And it was white.
It was because they were Aryan.
It's because they were white supremacists, because they believed in racial purity of the Aryan race.
That made them uniquely evil.
They perpetrated the Holocaust against Jews.
And that was, by far and away, the most obscene, worst genocide ever in the history of the world.
And then, when all was said and done, white people were racist to the Muslims that blew up the World Trade Center.
White people are racist to black criminals and the police.
Basically, people are bred from cradle until grave, thinking that white people are uniquely evil people.
White people bear a special guilt for all the problems of this country, all the problems of every other group,
and really, like all the problems of humanity.
This is legitimately indistinguishable from white supremacist propaganda that was coming out like...
That's a Nazi.
10 years ago.
Just throwing it out there.
10 years ago.
Jesus.
This is identical to videos that you would see from, like, white is right groups.
It's identical to fucking gerbils.
Like, this is nuts.
That is also just that fucking, from when they're very young, kids are taught that white people are bad.
I just want him to follow that up with, and I'm here to prove they're right.
Like, that's all you're doing is just...
Listen, here's all the stuff white people...
And the fact that he said this is the sequence of events is black people were enslaved, white people freed them,
and then white people started to treat them poorly.
That was his end then.
That was his end then.
It's an interesting chain of events.
Interesting perspective.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, this goes on, unfortunately.
And it's as a consequence of this that these things are becoming more and more common.
White people are being dehumanized.
And when white people are dehumanized, black people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
And other people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
How much do you want to bet that this, whatever his name is, Darren Brown, whatever,
was radicalized by the media into thinking that white people are racist and responsible for his suffering,
not just as a black man, but as a gay man too.
And that he committed this crime in retaliation for that perceived prejudice, perceived hatred against him.
That's the consequence of all this anti-white hatred and dehumanization in the media education system.
And it's even and tried in the law systematically through the government.
And what do you think affirmative action is?
So Nick is just making up details, circumstances, motives for this murder,
and then using those assumptions as justification that, like, it proves his white people are being dehumanized.
See?
Yep.
Like, what?
Yep.
This is nonsense.
I do love a full and completed mission that they are aware of what they're doing and are doing it on purpose.
Just that, like, see, black people are trying to dehumanize white people,
and when you dehumanize a group of people, they start getting killed.
Immediately after being like, oh, everybody cares about the Holocaust.
Like, it's a big deal.
Ooh.
I fucking hate him.
I hate him so much.
He's so fucking stupid.
It's an interesting implication that I don't think he was aware of.
So fucking stupid.
So Nick warns that because this dehumanization against white people is happening,
it's going to be a problem when this country is no longer white.
But here's the problem.
This is not going to be a white country forever.
And it's not going to be a white country for very much longer.
And a lot of places, it already isn't.
And in a lot of ways, it already isn't a white country anymore.
And as the percentage and proportion of white people diminishes in America relative to non-white people,
it's going to become more and more of a problem for white people that non-white people don't like us.
It's just that simple.
I think that white and non-white people largely don't like white people like Nick.
Yeah, yeah.
It has nothing to do with him being white.
It has everything to do with his positions and his beliefs that are abhorrent.
This goes back to a few conversations that I've had with the terrible comedians in the circle of the Joe Rogan sphere.
Ultimately, what he's really boiling this down to is a theory that he doesn't want to say straight out right.
But basically, white people, we kind of have it coming.
And if they have the numbers, they'll do what we would do in this situation, which is kill everybody.
That's their ultimate logic of if we are at any moment weak enough.
And that's why one of Nick's primary political motivations and one of the things that is like a primary goal is retaining white majority over all levers of power.
Because he thinks like, oh, as soon as we're in the minority, we're going to do what I would want to do.
What we would do.
Yeah.
It's a tacit admission that they're genocidal and that they kind of actually have internalized all the guilt that they're blaming other people for and recognizing that, you know what, white people may have a little bit coming their way.
Boy, it does feel like that is something behind Nick's politics.
It's so much like it's like as he's complaining about the education system and critical race theory, he's just listing all the things that white people have done that are evil.
And he's not even bringing up like and here's how to balance that out.
He's not doing that at all.
He's just throwing the great replacement theory out it with the underpinning that white people are genocidal monsters who maybe have some come in their way.
Like that's his that's his understanding.
Right.
But he's he's also I mean one of the things that I always present is like that that notion that like all you learn in school is these negative things about
white people.
Sure.
And anybody who makes that point is willfully ignoring all of these very positive things you learn about white history and all the negative things you learn about other cultures.
Yeah.
You know, you you learn all sorts of things in school if you actually do the reading.
Yeah, if you if you like I remember all too often in my elementary school history books hearing barbarian applied to non United States citizens often.
It's the same kind of thinking that leads you to be like you see one Gillette commercial with like a interracial couple.
And you're like, yeah, why are they trying to push this on me?
They're in he's bitter in every commercial.
So it's selective attention.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they definitely don't put in all the times that white people are propped up and told about how great white people are whenever the real history you look a little bit further into it.
Like, oh, all the work was done by non white people.
Interesting.
So here's what this this video ends.
The media attacks white people.
They say that white people causes suffering of non white people.
Increasingly, non white people don't like white people.
Nobody talks about that.
Increasingly.
We know that non white people largely regard white people with suspicion, distrust.
In some cases, just don't like them.
Hey, nobody wants to say that.
People are very comfortable talking about racism against blacks or other non whites, but nobody talks about the distrust.
Nobody talks about the resentment that non white people have for white people in the country.
And it's not everybody, but it is a lot of people and everyone knows that.
As the population becomes less and less white and as the people in charge of the country and the people enforcing the laws of the people in the country, in charge of the country,
become less and less white, that's going to matter a lot more.
These are not foreign ideas to the rhetoric that Alex uses.
It's just way more explicit.
Way more explicit.
It is overt.
He's saying the parts that Alex likes to obscure with.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is not the quiet part loud.
This is the quiet part screamed through a bullhorn on top of a fucking mountain.
Yeah.
Jesus.
For sure.
So Nick posted also on here on this on this band.video page of his posted a video, a little clip of him giving a speech at the Mer America first political action conference.
It's so funny because in the real world, if you heard a video like that, you don't hear about a follow up video.
It's not like this would be like if this is immediately after Michael Richards and we were done discussing that clip and you're like, all right, so the next night he was back at the lab factory.
Let's hear.
Yeah, you're like, no, this is the end.
Yeah.
Yep.
Cancel culture is out of control.
Out of control.
Out of control.
Out of control.
So Nick posted a video of him giving a speech again.
Mike down for this.
I'm going to play this entire clip in its totality.
There's a two minute clip that he posted titled We are the Americans.
This is terrifying.
Like this is at him.
Segregation then.
Segregation now.
Segregation forever.
America put simply is a particular people in a particular place is really that simple.
We are the Americans and America is the home of the Americans.
That's what it means to be Americans.
America is one people, one nation on this continent forged over hundreds of years by shared experiences descended from an English cultural framework and influenced by European civilization.
America is a Christian nation.
And that's not just a slogan.
When I say that America is a Christian nation, I'm saying that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
And this is one nation under that God.
Say his name.
So if America ceases to be this people, if America ceases to retain that English cultural framework and the influence of European civilization, if it loses its white demographic core, and if it loses its faith in Jesus Christ, then this is not America anymore.
That is about as overt as you can get in terms of making a non slur filled speech where you're advocating for a white ethno state that is a theocracy.
I think somebody's been reading their Henry Ford tracks.
I think somebody's really been going back to those sweet old days of why don't we join the Nazis.
Come on.
They're good people.
We're good people.
Parentheses white.
And it's great.
There's a there's an interesting thing that I wrestle with as I was sort of watching these videos and that is like how much of this is Alex aware of and how much of this is just like I don't fucking care.
Nick's popular.
Put his videos up all.
I don't know.
It's it's it's it seems like if I were him, I would think this is bad for business.
It's a little too over seat.
Now this is kind of my then again Harrison was doing that shit too.
My vibe on this is this is Alex fully dipping that toe into like can I.
So if Nick Fuentes is clearly trying to steal my audience.
Right.
If there's one thing I do believe Alex is smart about it's knowing what people are.
Yeah.
Knowing what people are stealing his money.
Yeah.
And knowing at least some elementary ways that he can sort of work with and co-op things.
Right.
So I think it's it's looking like to me that Alex is putting that stuff up to gauge what love because look.
Sure.
Owen and Harrison ain't doing shit.
Yeah.
So let's gauge what level of out and out white supremacy will do for us.
And maybe we have a whole new wing of the show.
Yeah.
I mean I think that a while back we had sort of a sense that like well I think this deep
platforming has a decent chance of Alex eventually just realizing fuck it.
Yeah.
Fuck it.
Speak freely.
You bet.
It's just us here.
I don't know if this should be taken as a sign of that but it feels like it could be.
It really does.
Because this is this is a bit much.
And you think about like OK so in the day in the in the old salad days of 2017 back
when we were young and bright and fresh faced you had Alex Jones's show you had incompetent
asshole and shrewyer and then you had boring David Knight.
Yeah.
This would not have flown.
No point.
No.
No.
Here's what we do.
It's amazing the deterioration towards just outright clear throated articulations of white
nationalist positions.
Sure.
But I mean it's been if that's the that's America like as we've Alex's Alex has dominated
the United States.
I genuinely believe that at a certain point Alex overtook his his one line of propaganda.
No naturally.
But that like straight up conspiracy laden white nationalist only is absolutely just
taking over that wing.
You know like though as we as we watch Alex go from having Jakari Jackson on a show to
now where I'm pitching him a Jakari Nick Fuentes double hander and we see how that goes.
I I mean so is the culture.
The culture at large has done the same thing.
Yeah.
It's fucked up.
Yeah.
It's fucked up.
So you got one last video of Nick's.
Oh God.
This one's about pride parades.
Well I'm sure they're going to be you know you know these people just delight in terrifying
us with those chants.
I really think the Christ is king they love that shit.
They love that shit.
That's creepy.
The merging of sort of ethnic demographic anxiety and terror the the hyper nationalism the the
Christian extremism.
It's very similar to what Thomas Jefferson was talking about.
It definitely doesn't lead to bad outcomes general no no no no no.
So also Nick is a big old homophobe that's not that's not surprising.
Really giving a speech that winds up having a Christ is Cring King breakbeat.
You know like like fucking Leonard Hubbard is putting a nice tasty lick underneath it.
Yeah.
I would say that this video even surprised me.
Oh wow.
In terms of it.
Jesus.
So it starts off with him complaining that the country is being taken from him.
Our country is being stolen from us and that's not just rhetoric.
Our country is being stolen from us.
Our schools.
Our neighborhoods.
Our places of business.
Our economy.
Our government.
Our sovereignty.
Our country is being taken from us.
It was ours at one point.
It belonged to our ancestors and now it doesn't belong to us.
It belongs to foreigners.
It belongs to the elite who hate us.
Our country is being taken and do not underestimate what that means in particular.
When it comes to this agenda they would have if they could that all of your children would
be indoctrinated with trans and gay ideology.
Think about a person like James Younger the eight year old in Texas who was being forced
by his mother under the order of a court to undergo chemical castration with hormone replacement
therapy to prevent him from going into puberty.
These are the kinds of horror shows, tragedies, the abominations that are occurring.
We talked about the Younger case a while back.
It wasn't about a child being forced to take hormone replacement.
No.
It was a situation where the child's parents disagreed on the best path to take in terms
of transition with the father wanting to take a more gradual watchful waiting approach
and the mother wanting to engage in social affirmation.
I've looked into the case and I don't really feel comfortable about how much of the conversation
is wrapped up in a clearly ugly divorce between the two parents.
I'm not going to engage with this use of the child as a proxy fight between the two
adults.
That's fucked.
The larger point here though is that it's important to notice that in recognize this
case has nothing to do with forcing a child to transition or take puberty blockers against
their will.
This is just a prop again that Nick is using another white child that he's using as like
look what they're doing.
It's almost as bad as a blue eyed blonde haired child being abducted at the board which totally
happened.
Totally happened.
100% happened.
Yep.
So this goes on.
This is...
Man.
At what point are the good and decent and Christian conservative people of this country going
to stand up and say that's enough and not ask respectful questions and not have a civil
debate and not be polite but to say that this cannot go forward one more inch.
The conservative movement is broadly Christian and you can't find a lot of devout Christians
or social conservatives or anybody that believes anything remotely like the country or like
the base within the leadership of the party.
That's why you get stuff like this.
We're talking about sick stuff and I'm not going to be respectful of what they're up
to.
I'm not going to be respectful of their anti-god, anti-family, anti-human, anti-conservative
agenda.
We have to say no not just to trans kids in girl sports and not just no to the government
forcibly transitioning children.
We have to say no to transitioning period and say no to trans period.
You cannot transition.
You cannot transition to other genders.
We have to say no to homosexuality.
We have to say no to lesbians.
We have to say no to the whole thing.
What they're pushing is something that is the antithesis of a traditional Christian
moral worldview.
Okay, so now we have spiraled into say no to all trans people.
They're very existence, validity, and also gays and lesbians who've gone pretty far down
this road here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All non-straight whites should be eradicated is not a good starting point for consensus.
I would say I feel I feel like holding these sorts of positions are going to make people
not like you.
I would say maybe they would make everybody not like you and in fact you would need to
have history books specifically written about assholes like you to get people away from
you.
So the issue is that the family, right?
The family is what's important and, you know, Nick's tried, Nick's tried to be tolerant.
Tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
I'm going to compromise.
There is no meet me in the middle between families with biological men and women and
men and women getting married and having kids and whatever the hell this is.
People are willing to put up, they're willing to tolerate some of this, they were willing
to say maybe, okay, people want to get married, that doesn't have anything to do with me.
Fast forward 15 years and the government is telling people we'll transition your children
and cut their penises off and put them on hormone replacement therapy and not tell their
parents and you have to be okay with that or you go to jail.
Well you're pushing the limits of people's tolerance.
People have their limits and they're being pushed right now and the person who's going
to stand up and say that when they run for office, that person I think is going to be
a very popular politician.
I love the idea that there's something you brought up, I think on the last episode too
is there like this rewriting of the Christian position on gay marriage is amazing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been tolerant.
Hey, we've given it our best go.
We've done, I mean, if you think about Christians and gay people up until this very moment,
you will notice that there has been nothing but tolerance.
Sure, we've killed them and hunted them and made it illegal to be one of them.
Massive opposition to fundamental rights.
There was massive opposition to not being allowed to fire someone because they were
gay, not even gay marriage, just not being able to out and out destroy their lives just
for being gay and that's being rewritten as Christians being tolerant.
That's great.
You can only push people so far.
It's kind of amazing how quickly conservatives forget things.
It's almost as though it's expedience almost like it's just a matter of convenience and
whatever will make the argument now.
Yeah, you know, and Dan, we've talked about this before.
I hate it when people are like, I'm going to challenge you to a charity boxing match.
That's stupid.
Yeah, what I am going to do is I'm going to challenge Nick Fuentes into a charity.
I'm going to pee directly into his eyes off.
All right.
Okay.
And whoever wins has to donate $10,000.
I think you have an advantage to the Ali Forney Center.
I think you have an advantage because you have glasses.
I do have glasses and also I will be the only person peeing into his eyes and that's the
whole game.
You better watch out man.
He is from the Chicago land area.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
He'll accept my challenge to let me pee directly into his eyes for a while.
I drink a lot of coffee and I would take my time.
It is true.
I would be packing up for a 24 hour span.
If I were you, I would be more worried about him cornering you and telling you opinions.
Yeah, that would be more scary.
I'm not worried about him physically.
I don't think he'll be.
I don't think he's the type.
So this goes on.
Oh boy.
And that's ultimately what it comes down to.
It's easy to condemn the horns and the pitchfork.
It's not easy to condemn the rainbow flag and two people that just love each other.
It's not easy to do that.
That's why conservatives now tolerate and support homosexuality, transgenderism and
a number of other social ills because they say even though it's immoral, according to
your own religion, if you're a Christian, they say if it doesn't hurt somebody else,
if I'm not forced to partake in it, then it's okay.
But if you stand against evil, you have to stand against evil all the time.
Wow.
How funny is that?
How funny is that?
The entire message of your religion is so difficult to follow because you have basic
human empathy that has nothing to do with your religion.
He's putting those two together.
He's saying that your religion demands you overcome caring about other people in order
to eradicate their style of existence.
Yep.
It's tough.
It's tough.
Good Christianity.
His version of Christianity is tough.
It's hard to overcome what you would have to assume God gave you, which is an instinctual
need to care for other human beings around you.
Then God demands you override that.
That's why life is hard.
It's a test.
It's a fucking test to kill as many people who disagree with you as possible.
Great.
But it's not, this is also, it should be clear.
Good God.
This isn't just Nick being mad about LGBTQ plus issues.
This goes far beyond that.
If you stand against evil, you have to stand against evil all the time.
It doesn't just end at transgender bathrooms or girls locker rooms, all of it has to go.
And not just trans, but gay too.
And not just trans and gay, but you know what else?
Promiscuity, abortion, feminism, it all has to go.
Because if you take our worldview through to its logical conclusion, why can't transgender
athletes compete in the girls' boards?
Because people can't transition.
And they can't transition because God made them a certain way and God made them different.
And the differences are real and significant and they matter.
And if the differences matter, then they have to be treated differently.
And they have different roles in society.
And so if women are bored with a reproductive apparatus and so far as we know that's the
only way to continue the human population, they have to be making the babies.
And if they're making the babies and they have a certain disposition to raise them,
they've got to raise them too.
And that's a full time job.
What they're doing is marginalizing normal Christian people.
They're marginalizing anybody that is not totally insane.
I mean, this, beyond just being outrageously bigoted towards all sorts of areas, that's
also just dumb.
It's insane.
It's really dumb.
Oh, it's insane.
I would ask a follow up question about this and I would say, where is the line exactly
on what you can and can't change about how God made you?
Can you take medicine?
No.
Can you dye your hair?
No.
Can you cut your hair?
No.
There are a number of things that seem to run afoul of it.
Can you get any kind of like cosmetic surgery?
Apparently not.
Can't get tattoos?
That's even in the Bible.
So I would ask about that, about the idea of changing how God made you.
See if we could figure out exactly where the line on that is.
Then I would ask, what does promiscuity mean?
How do you define that exactly?
And what exactly would you want to do about that?
Would you want to make sex illegal?
What do you mean you're doing?
It's so insane to me how these dudes exist.
These are dudes who are absolutely screaming, absolutely screaming about returning to these
Christian values that were their society ever to be implemented, they would be murdered
immediately.
Yeah, I mean, it's a standard joke that people make about the fact that Nick Fuentes is Nick
Fuentes.
Is a white nationalist with a Fuentes on his last name.
It's something that people bring up quite often.
It's like no matter, no matter, it's one of those just fucking classic fucked up brain
stories that have been written about so much as that person who is like, my last name is
Fuentes, but I want to be white so bad.
I'm going to try and be the most white.
I'm going to be too white.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Like it's that classic fucking, it's goddamn Greek.
Yeah.
But I think.
Escalus is bothering me now.
I think you you hear stuff like in that last clip and it's just it's like the implications
of the actual thoughts that he has on the the positions that he seems to be espousing
for like and how dumb they would be in their application in the real world.
Yeah.
It's the ideas are not really something you should take seriously promiscuity should be
outlawed and unacceptable and simple normal people like the 50 percent of marriages that
end in divorce, simple, normal, good questions.
Can I ask also not including half of the people?
Yeah.
I love too that he comes out of the sort of conservative wing that generally is in favor
of smaller government.
Yeah.
I don't know how you enforce anti promiscuity laws.
You would need soldiers on the streets.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even children, you would outfit by giving them tickets and taking them to an armory.
What I'm saying is like, I think a lot of the like the ideas themselves are stupid.
They're really dumb and they're not something you should take seriously, but he's still
someone that you like should be taken seriously outside of whether or not his ideas make sense
or anything because he is a terrifying human being.
Yeah.
No, he's really nightmarish.
Yeah.
I'm even really shocked at the amount of escalation and elevation he's been able to
engage in in a very short period of time.
Yeah.
He's somebody who I, when he first showed up on Infowars, I was like, wow, this YouTube
dickhole is, yeah, Alex has given him a little bit of a platform.
Yeah.
And the path since then is not something that people should ignore.
Yeah.
And Alex getting involved to the level that he is is playing with fire.
Yeah.
It's, I know that, you know, Alex thinks and he does have some skills in terms of co-option
and recognizing ways to make things work best for him.
Yeah.
But I don't know if he's met anyone like Nick before.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, not, you know, there's a part of me that says this isn't exactly that
new.
He even brings up Pat Buchanan, you know, like this, there is an audience for this
and there always has been.
But Buchanan was a presidential candidate that they allowed it debates and he was straight
up white nationalist and let's kill gay people all the time, you know?
You're not wrong.
You know, information space that exists now is so different.
So diffused.
And Pat Buchanan was an old ass, like by the time of it, you know, he was never a quote
unquote cool young boy, right, right, right, angry and full of enthusiasm and snarky talking.
I bet he was.
I bet in the fifties, everybody's like Buchanan was so cool to hang out with.
I fucking hate people.
He was a mean.
Yeah, totally.
He was the carpe doctor of his era.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
Yeah.
So Nick gets around to talking about how like transition is just impossible.
Yeah.
Talk about turf and I would say that Nick is not even trans exclusionary.
I mean, he's not.
He's definitely not a feminist.
No, no, no.
It's just a big old phobe.
I mean, it's a transphobe.
Turfs hate feminists too.
So it's just full of hate.
Yeah.
And this this clip is where I really think it took a turn towards the like, wow, I can't
believe he's actually even just saying this.
I do not think that transgender and transsexual should be normalized.
I think it's morally wrong.
I think it's morally bankrupt.
You cannot transition from one gender to another.
You can't do that.
Yes, you can.
You are born a gender and you died that gender.
And there's no crossing over.
You can put on a wig.
You can put on lipstick.
You can put on a dress.
It doesn't make you a woman.
What does not happen in our society?
We shouldn't have it on television.
We shouldn't have it in an elected office and we should be passing laws to prevent
this.
And the same goes for homosexuality and the same goes for abortion.
These things are wrong and we shouldn't have them in our society.
They shouldn't be glorified.
We should not get too comfortable with them.
They should not be normalized.
In fact, they should be marginalized and people should see them as what they are, which is
gravely evil and disordered and misguided.
Damn.
I mean, like bigotry is awful and it's really terrible.
And calling for legislation that would outlaw trans existence, outlaw being gay, outlaw
abortion.
It's that's pretty, pretty serious.
I've got some brand new ideas for you.
Right.
Brand new ideas, 2021, hot off the presses, never before tried.
Yes.
Ideas like legislating against the existence of human beings.
Yeah.
No one's ever done that.
And when they did do that, which I'm not saying they did, it went great.
See, the reason that people don't want to engage with people like Nick is because they're afraid
of this, this kind of brand new visionary thinking, visionary thinking, really cutting
edge.
What a fucking genius.
Here's what I think we should do.
Go back to the 80s.
Yeah.
I mean, so what you have is a guy who's very clearly a racist, homophobe, transphobe.
It's like he cares more about the bigotry than he does whatever the bigotry is about.
He just loves being a bigot.
It probably feels really good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Gets him a lot of attention.
It gets him angry.
So, but you have that merging of all of these disparate bigotries and a desire to advocate
for and work towards a governmental system that is theocratic in nature and operates in
such a way that would have public laws against being gay, public laws against trans existence,
public laws against feminism.
That's a terrifying prospect of what he is explicitly calling for.
Yes.
Yeah.
So, we have one last clip here from this report, then we'll get to a little bit of a breakdown.
Go for it.
The nation of the civilization is the family, and this much is obvious.
Where did children come from?
They don't come from factories, they don't come from the government, they don't come
from corporations, they don't come from farms, they come from the womb of women, and they
come from men and women, licently, within marriage, you know, having sex.
That's the only way that they're created.
The only way that you get babies, the only way that you perpetuate a society is by men
and women getting married and having children.
That's how you get society, that is society.
That is how society propagates itself, that's how it perpetuates itself.
That's the elemental foundation of the society.
And in order for that process to happen, for children to be created and for them to be
raised and inculcated with the culture and to learn what they need to know for the transmission
of knowledge, you need to have marriages, you need to have men, and you need to have women.
And by marriage, do not misunderstand what I mean, you need the union of souls between
one man and one woman in the church.
That's the only way that you get a society.
And anything that is opposed to that, anything that tries to confound that or confuse that
or obfuscate that is pure evil, and that is the enemy of society.
I mean, I just don't even...
I mean, yeah, this guy needs to be stopped.
This is supervillain shit, I don't know, if you saw that in a movie, if you saw that
in a movie, you'd be like, okay, well, how do we stop this guy?
This is not a conversation where it's like, how do we engage with this bad guy?
It's not like, hey, Lex Luthor, let's have a dialogue.
A lot of times in stories, like in like a fictitious setting, you'll see something like this once
it's too late.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
Once this person has already risen to power or something.
Yeah.
And this video is played in Times Square in the horror movie, He Thinks He's Living It.
Yeah, and to be clear, like saying need to stop Nick Fuentes, it's not a matter of hurting
him or anything like that.
It's a matter of dealing with what he's doing in a way that is responsible.
And that is to recognize that there is that angry response that you very justifiably should
have, but then there's the other response, which is like, he wants you to be angry, don't
be that angry at him and recognize how stupid a lot of these ideas are.
There's an impotent hatred, and I honestly think that there's a huge resentment that
he feels that most people don't actually agree with him.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Most people do accept that gay people exist.
Right, right.
Most people aren't.
Most people have the basic human empathy that his religion demands they ignore.
Well, his version of his religion, yeah, yeah, yeah, just to make sure people don't think
that I think the Christianity is like similar to what he is.
If there's one thing that we know very clearly, Christianity is not a block religion.
It's not a monolithic identity.
No, there's 10 million types of Christianity.
Yeah, so I was surprised, honestly, because I know Nick a bit, you know, I'm aware of
his stuff.
Sure, sure.
I know that I know what he believes, and I think it's a little, it's gotten probably
maybe even a little bit more overt in some ways from the last time I checked in on his
content.
Yeah.
And it was, it was bizarre to just click on band.video.
There's a section for him and these videos are pretty easily accessible and whether Alex
wants to take ownership of this or not.
He owns that website.
He's promoting this.
He's platforming this.
He's tacitly accepting this and he's profiting off it, you know, there is no other way around
it.
And can we find out what tags he has on Fuentes this page, like is there tags where it's like
if somebody's searching for white nationalist, this will show up just saying just tossing
that out there.
I think that Alex is aware that band.video doesn't show up in Google search results.
That's fair.
That's fair.
It might have been delisted.
That's fair.
Um, so I guess like, I guess this works for Alex as long as Nick doesn't put out any videos
that completely undercut the basis of Alex's entire conspiratorial worldview.
Uh-oh.
The chai cows want to destroy America from within.
I texted this to a good friend of mine.
And I said, these boomers are talking about trying to want to destroy America from within.
And it's a good friend of mine.
He's one of the funniest guys I know.
He goes, I would give anything for the chai cops to destroy America from within.
I'm like, I know, right?
And it's so true.
Ah, fun.
What a hilarious friend.
Just so funny.
Good luck with this guy, Alex.
Wow.
So I texted my friend about the guy whose website you're watching this on, this dumb
boomer, this dumb moron who thinks that the chai comms are a problem.
This asshole.
I texted the person who is hosting this content that you are watching this video on.
I texted my funniest friends about the dumb shit, the person who is hosting the content
you are watching.
We all laughed about how funny it was that he believes that and how we wish his conspiracy
were true.
And we'll be on the side of the bad guys and that conspiracy.
Oh, okay.
Well, maybe Alex doesn't know about this one.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know what the deal is, but this is this is pathetic and not good.
Yeah.
It does not bode well for the future.
I imagine if Alex finds out about that, we might be experiencing cancel culture.
Oh, you might get the David Knight treatment.
He's getting banned.video from this band.video.
And you know who's going to come out ahead in that exchange?
Nick.
Anyway, I wanted to take a little bit of a break from Alex for a day and so wanted to
check in on this.
And I knew that Nick had this channel and I wanted to give it a little bit of time for
some content to accumulate before we took a look at it.
And this is a cross-section of some of the stuff that's there.
It's extremely fucked up.
It is overt.
Yeah.
It is.
Yeah.
It is not making any bones about what his positions are and unbelievable, unbelievable
that you can have a video right next to another video.
And in one video, you say whenever they dehumanize white people, they think we're less than human
and that leads to white people being killed to the next video being like trans people
aren't actually people.
God demands that you get rid of them.
We should codify into law.
Into law.
They are less than human.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cool.
So I was terrified by this and I don't know, I'll check back in on his thing eventually.
Yeah.
We'll see how this works out for these dumb dumps.
There was a two hour debate about the Middle East between Nick and Barnes and the most
booze.
I did watch a bit of it and I was like, Oh, no, Barnes, you don't know how good Nick
is at this.
Oh, no.
Barnes is a shitty lawyer, even in the face of shitty lawyer.
He's fine, but like Nick is, he's the debate captain.
Yeah.
You don't, you don't want to don't debate.
Don't mix up with him.
No.
Barnes.
I'll debate him.
I don't give a shit.
No.
Stick to the IPA.
So we'll be back.
But until then, Jordan, we have website.
We do have a website.
It's knowledgefight.com.
We're also on Twitter.
We are on Twitter.
It's at knowledge underscore fight and that go to bed Jordan.
Yep.
We're on Facebook.
We are on Facebook.
If you'd like to show active red, if you could, please find a local charity or bail fund in
your area to help out people doing God's work.
Yep.
We'll be back.
But until then, I'm Leo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
I'm Darryl Rundis.
And now here comes the sex robots.
Andy and Kansas, you're 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.
