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.
Andy and Kansas. Andy and Kansas. It's time to pray. Andy and Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding us. Hello, Alex. I'm a Christian color. I'm a huge fan and love your work.
Knowledge fight. Knowledge fight.com. I love you. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Knowledge
Fight. I'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We're couple dudes like sit around, worship at the altar of Celine
and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. Oh, indeed we are Dan. Jordan. Dan. Jordan. Quick
question for you. What's up? Is your bright spot today? Why don't you go first? Dan, do you know
what my bright spot is? What's that? Oh, God. No, it's not tennis. It's Sarah and I went and
played tennis earlier this afternoon. Wonderful. Yes. Sarah, Shaki, Fred, the Joe Barty and Sarah
Love Wrestling. She is good. She's got to serve, man. She was blasted in some event. I was like,
well, I'm going to take a little sit down. I could see that. I feel like she probably is a
person who has about a million talents that like you just don't expect 100% every everything you
accidentally. Like you go to like a knife throwing place. She's a dead eye. No, I threw knives for
a while whenever I was in college and you're like, what? Yeah, that's what she collects. Being good
at skills. So you got your ass kicked? No, I think we were on a pretty even keel. This is just your
way of bragging. No, no, no, no. Everywhere but that serve where she was just so just acing you.
As in me. Like it was like it wasn't even hard. Well, as many people know, I have started to grow
some plants again. Indeed. And so I've got a couple of cucumbers coming up, a couple of seedlings. I
also have some grow bags with potatoes that I put in there and I have no faith in these potatoes to
grow at all. You have no faith in yourself or in potatoes in general. Myself. I just feel like
there's something weird about putting a potato in the ground and then expecting something to
happen. It's very weird. That is fair. But I was just in there and I was looking at the soil and
little buds are coming up out of the potato nice like out of the dirt growing from the spud. So
that's really exciting. It is fun that sometimes you can really like take a step back and think,
you know, I bet a long time ago, somebody just threw a potato and then a bunch of potatoes grew
wherever it landed. You know, like whenever the land was was filled with nothing, you know, you
just threw a potato and potatoes would show up. Yeah, I had magic. I had like a little compost
thing going and I had a bean, I think a pinto bean, maybe I'm not sure what it was. But yeah, I
think it was a pinto bean and like it was in the it sprouted. Whatever like it was in the
garbage and it's still sprouted. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was it was nuts. It was like just coffee
grinds and dirt and like it just took. It's so funny how so many plants are like there's just no
way to make this grow. And then there are tons where you're like, stop, leave me alone. Get away
from me. Yep. So something that also you would yell, stop, get away from me to is Alex. There
we go. Now that's that's a segue and you're going to feel that way today as we continue our
part two or we go into part two of our examination of his coverage of nine eleven. Yeah. 2001
surreal. We are now on to the evening show, which is nine to midnight and if you haven't
listened to the first one, go ahead and do that because it's there's some prerequisites
to get better. Does not. I was thinking about it. Get ready for a weird ride. I was thinking about
it after we left, after we were done recording and I'm just like in my head. I really don't believe
if you had told me 20 years ago, if you had showed me the broadcast, I would not have believed it
was happening. Right. Right. If I came up to you and I was like, Hey, Alex Jones says that the
100% 100% in order to help strengthen the euro. This is before YouTube. That was great. That's a
great observation, I guess. Sure. Absurd. Yeah. Yeah. There was a lot of a lot of surprises
going on and there's some more today. But first, before we get into any of that, let's take a
little moment to say hello to some new wonks. Oh, that's a great idea. So first, Frank of
Frank's Beach. Thank you so much. You are now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thank you very
much. Next. Alex It's atrophies, sense of shame. Thank you so much. You're now policy wonk.
I'm a policy. Thank you very much. Also, this is we're not too late on this. Just
now. We're not too, just a little bit late, but happy birthday to Rachel S. Thank you so much.
You're now a policy. I'm a policy onto thank you very much. Link sdew from Arkansas. Thank you
so much. You're now policy wonk. I'm a policy. Walk. Thank you very much. Next. Nicht. Alex the
space ace. Thank you so much. You're now policy. Walk. I'm a policy. Walk. Thank you very much.
And Kirby's return to dreamy, creamy land. Thank you so much. You're now a policy. Walk. I'm a
policy. Walk. Thank you very much. That one was well done. Yeah. That's a good one. So before
we get into the episode proper, I wanted just to give a little bit of apology and clarification,
I guess I use the term Afghani to refer to a person on the last episode and that is incorrect.
I was unaware of this. I got a tweet about this and I appreciate the person
correcting me on that. It just, I don't know why. I guess I had no idea. It's Afghan is the
term for a person. Afghani is a monetary unit. It's just completely in my blind spot. I've
heard people referred to as in that way in way, in contexts and places where it didn't seem like
it was offensive. And so I guess I had just assumed. Straight up, if you had told me, I would
have told you that I swear I heard people say it on TV like a few days ago. I have no idea.
I'm glad that I didn't say it and you did. I appreciate learning more though. Yes, me too.
So look, I decided that if I was going to do this episode here covering Alex's shows on 9-11,
it'd be important that it not just be the only way that I experienced the tragedy. Sure. I was
alive when this happened, of course, but it's been 21 years and some of the memories have faded.
It'd be wildly incomplete for me to approach this and just rely on my own memories and Alex's
bullshit. Yeah, of course. Fair. Yeah, I can read documents and reports, but those are a little bit
sterile and unfeeling. And one of the unexpected things about Alex's morning show that we covered
on our last episode was that he didn't seem to have a human response to the attack.
Though he said it was the most important day in like a century, the show didn't have a feeling
that conveyed the gravity of what people were experiencing. He took calls and people were
crafting conspiracies out of bizarre numerology. He had guests, but they were people who,
you know, weren't that affected or they were trying to sell gold. This all felt like a huge
disrespect to the people who were living through hell, pushing their experience to the side in
order to use it for your own purposes. And I wanted to make sure that I held on to a little
bit of the severity of the subject we're covering. This is a show that's meant to be funny and
entertaining, so it's easy to put on that facade of not taking things too seriously and being like
glib. In order to make sure I held on to some semblance of perspective, as I dealt with Alex,
I decided that it would be helpful to also watch various news outlets live coverage
of the tragedy. So I watched hours and hours of live CBS, local Fox affiliates, CNN coverage
of the day. And I have a lot of feelings. I believe you. Yeah. I was telling you that I'm a bit
tired. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you spent all night watching 9 11. Not all night. A lot of that
was during the day. Sure. Sure. But I mean, it is a strange day to be like, Oh, you know what I
think I'll do? I think I'll just do 9 11 again. A couple times because there's different channels
part of it was I wanted to get a sense of like the information space that Alex would have been
living in before he got on air at 9 p.m. I wanted to get a sense of how the media was covering it
because so much of Alex's entire point about anything is drawing broad conclusions from
how he feels the media is doing about other people's reporting. Right. He takes cues that he sees
imagined or not the media and pretends that they're the directives and marching orders of the
globalists. And so something that I felt would be kind of important was experiencing a bit of that.
And luckily you can find pretty much full coverage videos on YouTube. It's pretty well
documented day. And there's yeah, I found a YouTube channel that has a lot of very important days
like just straight news coverage. Oh, yeah, it's a very good resource. That's kind of interesting.
Yeah. So I didn't watch too much of that. Yeah. Some of that will inform some of the stuff that
we get into today, but I'll give you the Cliffs Notes version version of this. Alex's show is
really bad. It's terrible. We rightly criticize the media for a lot of sensationalism. And there
are tons of other problems with the big networks. But for the most part, and I'm not vouching for
anything they did on September 12th. But they seem to handle a lot of that coverage fairly well.
Right. Right. I was pretty impressed by the coverage as events were unfolding. Yeah. There
was a respect for what was happening. There was a restraint in leaping to conclusions.
Like the CBS one was the first one I watched and they took forever to even admit that it wasn't
an accident. Right. You know, they had a real resistance to using terminology around terrorism.
We don't know who's done this. We don't have a clear picture. There's not enough information coming
in yet. We know this is a tragedy, but we don't know who's, you know, all that stuff. Yeah. And
another point that I really found, it didn't jibe with how I remembered things and how the
stories are told about 9 11 was that there really wasn't a like hard finger pointed at bin Laden
until quite a bit later. It was it was it was in the evening. No. I mean, in the evening,
there was sort of a consensus coming around that like it's probably him. Yeah. This is a good
suspect. Yeah. But the the story that we tell is that like immediately they said it was Osama
bin Laden and that isn't the case. Oh, no. There's a Palestinian group that took responsibility
for it initially. Yeah. And that was a lot of the conversation of like, is this a credible
taking responsibility for this? Right. And then, you know, bin Laden is brought up as a possible
person because he attacked it before. Right. Right. Right. Right. It's kind of past behavior is
a predictor a future. It's a bit in the M.O. Yeah. But then also like the possibility of state
actors. Of course. You know, there's there's more of a conversation about possibilities.
And I was I was kind of surprised to experience that because I thought I'd go back and to be
like so much bin Laden talk like straight out. Yeah. And that was not that was not the what do
you find interesting. Yeah. Maybe not maybe not super earth shattering. But right. Right. Right.
Right. No, I mean, that's that's a question that I really hadn't thought of in the past. But I don't
like my memory of it. I didn't remember people even throwing around like
here's who did it at all for a while. Like for at least a couple of days or so for me is just
people were like, whoa, that was fucked up terror, you know, like that whole thing. They
they didn't actively put a name on it for a while. Yeah. And I think that a large amount of the
coverage that you find or that I was watching had to do with more with a human end of it than
the who did this. Although as the day went on, certainly there was some conversation of who did
this and some of the points that some of the people made were racist. I didn't see as much
racism as you would have expected. Interesting. But I did see violence. Got a lot of people
for blood. Yeah. Those I do remember happening right away. Yeah. There was a former secretary
of state who was on CNN. I can't remember who it was. It was like Eagle Burger, I think. Yeah.
And he was like, look, we got to kill somebody whether we could prove they were directly connected
or not. We got to go and kill somebody. Oh boy. There was that was what's funny about Alex saying
we got a nuke on that earlier episode is that I do remember being briefly a fairly mainstream
thought people would like bandy about like, OK, so what do we do? Do we nuke him? Right? That kind
of thing. It's a visceral reaction that you have to tragedy and like a like a punch that's coming.
Yeah. Yeah. And the thing that I found more interesting was that that was part of Alex's
response as well because he likes to pretend that he's above that kind of not be that emotional
response or, you know, he's into peace and he doesn't want to expand wars. And the idea of
nuking some fucking country, the you can't possibly be in favor of that. Even if you prove that they
they're government at 9 11, you're just going to kill so many civilians. What are you doing?
It's it's I mean, essentially you're declaring war on the earth, not on people, you know. Yeah.
And so here we are. Yeah. That's where that's where my thoughts and there'll be more along
the way. I'll keep it going. But here we start Alex's evening show and striking a familiar tone.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're live. It is 9 11, 9 1 1, September 11th, 2001,
an Ampley numbered date, isn't it? Ampley. We're going to be live until midnight this
evening and then more live shows throughout the early morning hours.
I have been one of those lone voices out there warning you about government sponsored terrorism.
So there's again, like an I told you so immediately in the show and that's that's really bizarre.
Yeah, I was expecting it this time. I was ready. I was prepared for it. I was like, I know right
out the gate. He's just going to be like, look at how right I was. It's it seems like one of the
seems like one of the most important things that he wants to stress. Yeah.
And to me, that seems shitty. I am a prophet of doom. Follow me for I have predicted what has
befallen us up. Yeah. So Alex has been watching some of the local and national news and he has
some words interesting. I have the latest developments and news and information and
that I witnessed joining us live from a mile and a half away from the collapsed world trade
centers and World Trade Center number seven, a total of five buildings that have collapsed total
burned to the ground, collapsed from shape charges, even local news. Wrong song for that.
Wrong song. We're involved. Well, we get back. I'm going to go back to April 24th and the
Baltimore Sun, new book on NSA shut light on secrets. U.S. terror plan called Human Invasion
Pretext. They say the casualty list that's dead people in U.S. newspapers will cause a helpful
wave of indignation. This is important information. Your call is coming up. Stay with us. So local
and national news outlets were definitely not reporting that shape charges were used to demolish
the building. That is just made up. Yeah. I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that five buildings
had fallen partially because I just don't know what the definitions we're using are. Right. World
Trade Center one, two and seven definitely fully collapsed. And the falling debris essentially
destroyed the smaller buildings three, four, five and six. But also there were many non-World
Trade Center complex buildings that were destroyed in the attack. And it seems difficult to precisely
quantify that. For instance, the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was destroyed by falling debris.
I don't know if this is counted in Alex's, you know, factoring. No, it's a particularly,
it's a minor point, I guess. But I just don't think that five buildings as an accurate count,
regardless of how you define it. Also, it's important to note that Alex seems to also
still not know the name of Operation Northwoods or want to say it or something. Strange. Strange.
There is a consistent non use of that name. Whereas now it's a buzzword for tossed around
all the time. Yeah. Yeah. He loves operation names. Yeah. Not, not on 9 11. Well, I mean,
that is the most respectful thing he's done so far. Not remember. Exactly. Yeah. That's about
as good as it were as we're going to get from him. I'm assuming. Yeah. Yeah. I would say so.
So there's some things that Alex is just wrong about. Sure. But again, I think that there's a
number of things that he's wrong about that are totally acceptable and very understandable.
At least five towers are down. Two of them, the fourth largest buildings on the planet.
Upwards of 20,000 people are dead. At least
those towers held 50,000 people. Thank God a lot of them haven't gotten to work yet.
They're on the east coast today. 50 when that first passenger liner smashed into the south tower.
His number is higher than a lot of the numbers that were being thrown around in other news
outlets, but I, I understand that feeling and I understand that sense of, like I said,
you know, you look at something like that and you can't imagine it not killing a million people.
No, I know. I mean, yeah, it is like it was a bit like seeing Godzilla knock down a tower and then
being like there were only a few thousand dead and you're like, I mean, I know that's a tragedy.
That's horrific, but also I really thought the entire fucking area was going to be flat ground.
Right. And then you, you see the videos of people running from the debris cloud and like
the way that the debris cloud like envelops them. Exactly. And you, I just, it's, it's,
it's unthinkable that, you know, you wouldn't assume 20,000 people. No, totally. For sure.
Yeah. He is reporting it as like 20,000 at least. Right. And that's a little bit strong.
Yeah. But I get it. I, I, I don't feel like, uh, I want, I wanted to include something like this
and you know, I try to, whenever there are things that he's wrong about, but he's right to be wrong.
Right. Right. Right. We didn't have official numbers. He probably shouldn't have thrown
around that number that high and definitely shouldn't have confirmed at least. But if
you just, if you had asked me, I'd have been like, yeah, sure. 20, 30, 40, that sounds right.
Right. You know, I'm not here to nitpick Alex. I'm not here to be like, ha, ha, you got this
wrong because I could, I wanted to with that, but I would much rather spend my time on stuff like this.
And then the towers began to collapse. I have one of the designers in the Chicago Tribune
saying, this is impossible. We've been trying to get a hold of General Bittenparton all night,
but his phone has been busy perpetually and we actually had a structural engineer on the show
today. That is not how buildings go down in five seconds. So you can see here already that Alex
is claiming that he had a structural engineer on his show this morning who said it was a demolition,
when in reality he had a friend of his on who had studied some engineering in college, but now
worked in a, in a financial sector job. Yeah. The way Alex is seeking to solidify this talking
point is for the perception to be that the guest he had on was a person who worked professionally
as a structural engineer, because that perception strengthens the illusion of his claims, whereas
presenting his guest accurately would reveal how flimsy his shit is. Also, this article in the
Chicago Tribune, you can find it, it has the headline quote, engineers shocked by towers collapse.
And nowhere in the article does this supposed co designer claim that the way that the buildings
collapsed was impossible. Right. That's a claim that Alex is inventing from thin air. Just adding
the article discusses how Les Robertson, one of the structural engineers of the trade center,
had given a talk in Frankfurt, Germany a week before the attacks and had brought up the build
that the buildings were designed to withstand an impact from a 707 jet. This is likely an
accurate statement, but it's being published in the Tribune, not as a direct quote. They're actually
quoting an engineer named Joseph Burns, who was at the conference relaying Robertson's words.
The article literally says quote, Burns said Robertson did not elaborate on the remark. The
buildings were designed to withstand a crash from smaller planes like a personal plane or even up to
a 707. But the jets on 911 were bigger and modern. Yeah, I think one of the reasons Alex is doing
this is because he's not very creative. This this game isn't creative. We can see in present day,
every single mass shooting is basically the same thing. They want your guns, the guys on psychmeds,
he's an in cell. There's basically just bullet points that he applies to each new shooting,
regardless of the actual details of the real situation. This kind of feels similar. He did
the control demolition secret bombs in the building conspiracy with Oklahoma City. And now here he
has another situation where buildings were destroyed that he needs to turn into a conspiracy.
It only seems natural that he would do the same thing over again. It's so much easier for him,
particularly because whenever he's making any kind of argument, he can just say,
like they did in OKC. And the audience is primed to lend whatever Alex is saying more credibility.
Looking at Alex's behavior here on 911, I really don't feel like he's doing anything different
from what he always does. He's got a conspiracy archetype that he's working with and he's
applying it to the current hot topic. He has a guest whose expertise is being exaggerated in
order to bolster their claims. And he's got headlines that don't say what he reports they do.
It's kind of dark, but I mean, I don't really get the sense that this is much more than another
day at the office for him. It really is. Yeah, it really is. I mean, I'm assuming that in two
or three days, his friend is going to be the top structural engineer in New York City, one of the
most prestigious, one of the most prestigious. He's no longer in the financial sector. No.
Actually, I know what he I can I see the trick that he's doing already in this episode. Yeah.
And it's not that what he's doing is he's going to try and create a bifurcated identity. Oh,
okay. So he'll have his friend who is a financial analyst who was there was a first hand account.
Right. And then there's another guest. And then his friend will also be a structural engineer,
but it's not his friend. It's his other friend. Well, it's implied that they're two different
guests. Yeah, we had a structural engineer and also I had a friend who's a first hand account.
Yeah. So that that's a smooth way to do it. And then you never name that structural engineer.
Right. And you don't point out that he was actually a financial advisor who may be undergrad.
Yeah. Yeah. It's like when somebody's an expert on MSNBC and then a few years later,
they show up on Fox business with a completely different specialty. And you're like,
what are you fucking doing? So here we see, I mean, look, this is just,
I had to, I had to sit with this clip and think about this one for a while. Yeah,
it really frustrated me. Oh boy. And I was actually listening to local KLBJ radio
when they had another structural engineer on from Texas A&M who did part of the analysis
back in 1993 for the first World Trade Center bombing saying that this wouldn't happen.
And then the host, Jeff Ward, said, yeah, I was watching local news this morning right
when it happened. And then about 20 minutes later, 30 minutes later, when the first tower
collapsed, the reporters were panicking, saying there had been a giant explosion on the bottom
floor and the sounds were picked up by the audio tape. But the spin machine is in overdrive,
just like an Oklahoma city telling us a truck bomb outside blows out columns further back and
blast them off cleanly at the bottom making rebar and concrete disappear. So you can see from that
clip what I mean about the OKC stuff. Alex wants to wrap up his talking points and references to
OKC. So in order to even address any of his points, it feels like you have to completely
relitigate all of his conspiracies about the Murrah building bombing before you do so. And
I'm here to say that you don't have to do that. This is a distraction tactic that Alex is employing
and it's totally OK to just ignore it for now. It's not relevant to the question of whether or
not bombs took down the World Trade Center to talk about his ideas about Oklahoma City. Right.
So I want to track this story here that Alex is telling and illustrate to you how pathetic the
level of sourcing he's using is to make this point. Alex was listening to a local show on KLBJ
where the host said that he had watched an unspecified local news show where they were saying
that there was a giant explosion at the bottom of the floor of the World Trade Center that was
caught on the audio tape. And now they're scrambling because there's a cover up because it got caught
to the sound. Oh, no. Right. This is useless. Even if you wanted to check on this claim,
what would you do? So you know that Jeff Ward is the KLBJ host in question. But what local TV
station was he watching? Wouldn't pretty much every local news station be running national coverage
since so many of them are NBC or ABC or Fox or CBS affiliates? Like I watched a fair amount of the
news coverage from that day. And this doesn't ring true to me at all. But because of the vagueness
of this claim, no matter what I say, Alex could just retreat to the claim that I just didn't
watch the right videos. It must have been on another channel. I can definitely say that reporters
were freaked out when the buildings collapsed. That was because two giant skyscrapers were
falling and dust clouds were racing down the streets towards them. And everyone was essentially
running for their lives, having difficulty breathing in thick air. Here actually is Alex's
nemesis, one of his many nemesis, Mika Brzezinski, who was reporting live from New York. And she
had actually taken up shelter in a school running from the buildings falling. Mika Brzezinski is
downtown, Mika. Hi, Mika Brzezinski here reporting from PS 89. It's near the scene of the now
collapse of what we believe to be the tower number one of the World Trade Center. I was
standing with CBS News correspondent Byron Pitts. We were coordinating our crews in a crowd of people
near the corner of Murray Avenue and the West Side Highway when the collapse occurred. And
literally plumes of smoke and gases as the collapse happened, I'm sure you're seeing in the video,
began to roll our way. And that is when the crowd went wild. People just began to run.
Our live trucks shut down. Crews were running. Reporters were running. People were running. And
the cops literally were just waving their arms saying, go, go, go. We are inside the school
right now, actually inside a small room trying to stay clear of the crowds that are trying to get
out of the way and also the evacuation of the school. School officials here are trying to get
everybody out of the building in an orderly fashion as quickly as possible. But again,
there is so much confusion out on the street. It is literally chaos out there. We've got a
short timeline here. The school right now is now putting on the intercom where kids need to go
to assemble classes near Chambers Street. They're trying to organize the classes and get these kids
out of here as safely as possible. Right now, we're dealing with the air because of the plumes
of smoke and gases. Byron pointing out to me, we needed to move quickly because the smoke that was
rolling our way and the debris as well was very thick and it could be very dangerous. It was
already a chaotic situation before the collapse happened. And this is just piling up more danger
and damage on top of what was already a very chaotic situation. I'm not sure any of the
reporters were too concerned with the bullshit games Alex plays, considering many of them were
huddling in a classroom where kids were trying to figure out how to reunite with their families
and everyone was worried about poison air. I don't feel like this is Alex being at all fair.
No, I'm going to go ahead and say that this one's pretty bad. The previous clip,
$20,000, doesn't look so bad in comparison to this clip. It makes things look real fucked up.
So the part about the engineer from Texas A&M presents the same problem as Alex's other sourcing
issues. The details provided cannot possibly be sufficient to trace down this claim. I went to
the Texas A&M structural engineering department website and they have 15 faculty members listed,
but you can see how we're no closer to knowing anything. I could go through all of these professors'
resumes and find nothing and well, what if the person Alex was talking about is retired or died?
Hey, guess what? There are multiple reports and official reports that have been made about
the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. I can go and find them and I have found many of them.
They don't have a professor from Texas A&M in it. I just didn't find the right report.
You really dropped the ball on this one, Dan. There are a lot of built-in loopholes to the
details that Alex rattles off to make them more protected from debunking. He attempts to make
people prove a negative like that no Texas A&M professor said this or that the local news clip
he claims he heard a local radio host talk about doesn't exist and he does that because
he couldn't do anything else. He has to force you to do something impossible to prove him wrong
because if you were forced to establish and defend his own claims, he will fail every time.
Oh, of course. And if you get him to stay on that, he'll be like, ah, but what about the
Oklahoma City bombing? And that will try and get you to start arguing about the OKC bombing,
so then you're already forgetting what you were supposed to be arguing about,
which was 9-11 in the first place. Yeah, once you're not allowed to...
He just will distract. Yeah, absolutely. Jangling keys, throwing balls everywhere,
just like anything shiny to get you away from the point. Yeah, I think this is a good example of
that. You're watching MASH Mind Control unfold. Whether the government was involved in it or
the European Union, as they roll out the euro that's partially gold back, already trading
above the dollar. Still going with that. All right. Or if this was actually a summer bin Laden,
I want to know why our government funded him throughout the 80s and early 90s,
why his family still builds our military bases in Saudi Arabia and around the Middle East,
why their family sits on the board of directors of Iridium satellite.
I want to know why we didn't take Saddam out in 1991, 50 miles from downtown Baghdad.
See, we've reached the phase of Alex's reporting where he asks a bunch of distracting questions
that he knows the answer to. Yep. CIA funded bin Laden because he was fighting the communist
enemy that you wanted people to fight. The bin Laden family get a lot of construction contracts
because they're not terrorists and they run a really big construction enterprise. Yeah. Terrorism
is not like, ah, it runs in the family. It is not a family owned business. Yeah, yeah. Same thing
with the Iridium satellite thing. It's just people who are doing business who happen to be related
to a terrorist and aren't terrorists themselves. Yeah. In order to claim that this is nefarious
or any of this stuff is nefarious, you need to provide some information other than say like,
oh, look, they're cousins. I mean, it doesn't work. You might as well just be like, I want to know
why they let Osama bin Laden into college. I need to know why that man was allowed to go to college.
He's a terrorist. He became a terrorist later on. Why didn't they let him, you know, like this is
post. You can't, you can't undo. Yeah. No. Also, as for why they didn't kill Saddam,
you got me. I don't really have anything. I don't know why. Who knows. Yeah. Honestly, why there's
probably a strategic reason of some sort. Maybe, you know, I don't know. Sometimes it's like who
they decide to take a shot at and who they don't is is not as it doesn't make any sense. You know,
like, ah, we're going to try and kill. We're going to try and kill this, this leader. But this guy,
nah, we're not going to do that. I'm, I'm not sure what calculus went into that. Yeah, sure.
So I guess if we want to get distracted with that, this is a good way for Alex to not talk about
9 11 on 9 11. I want to, I do want to know the math on the CIA's. Who do we kill list?
So I keep coming back to this because it seems bizarre to me. Alex seems to have no idea about
anything about Operation Northwoods except for a blurb from this Baltimore Sun article
right. It is about James Bamford who wrote this book that includes mentions of Operation
Northwoods. And it's wild. This is from the Baltimore Sun posted since April on info wars.com.
We have interviewed James Bamford, farmer, 2020 executive bestselling author on the Puzzle
Palace on the NSA. And of course, this new bestselling book still in New York times bestseller
list since April body of secrets and 900 page book that I've already read half of
U.S. military leaders proposed 1962 a secret plan to commit personal babies
Americans and blame Cuba to create a pretext for invasion in the outskirts of communist
leader Fidel Castro according to a new book about the national security agency. Now do I support
that filth bag that communist murder Fidel? No, but I don't support becoming Fidel to fight Fidel.
And the main headline is new book on NSA shed lights on secret U.S. terror plan called
human invasion pretext. Now this is from the NSA documents confirmed by the New York Times.
So he seems to think the name is Cuban invasion pretext. It does seem that that's what he said
called. Yeah, I think he's misreading this. Yeah. What what appears to be a book review
maybe that was in the Baltimore Sun, right? Of a book that he totally read half of already
already promised he doesn't have really any handle on much of the details outside of what
would be in that book review. And that does seem suspicious, doesn't it? It does, especially
considering that, you know, you're supposed to be this person who would consider a document
like that one of the most important things. Absolutely. To furthering your cause of spreading
the truth. Totally. You should probably know that thing inside and outside backwards, forwards.
I don't get the sense that he does. I'm pretty sure he has no idea what the name is because
earlier it's like maybe he forgot or he couldn't pull it right away. This is hours later. You
should I mean you could have even looked at you could have read the article in the between
organized, organized your notes. Yes. Yeah, he doesn't know, but he does hit the surface level
of Northwood's really hard. Okay. And let me read that quote to you again. Casualty list,
that means list of dead people in the US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of indignation.
And then they admit that we could seek a passenger ship. We could blow up airliners.
We could attack Guantanamo Bay and the Marines. They're using army dressed up as
Cubans. I mean, they're here in this article, quotes from the documents confirmed wanting
to blow up airliners. Now it was signed on to the Joint Chiefs of Staff wanted to do it.
The Secretary of Defense wanted to do it. And Kennedy, despite all his evils, God bless his soul
became a leader there at the end and said, no way. In fact, I'm abolishing the CIA and I'm pulling
us out of non don't remember doing that. Not. Yeah, that's a fun story. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
we've talked about operation operation Northwood's a bit in the past. And you know, it's not what
Alex is describing. Yeah, it was fake stuff. Yeah. Not not an actual no attack or people dying
or the list of casualties would be fake. Yeah, they would pretend or pretend people not actual
dead. Mm hmm. Yeah. Um, yeah, Diane really did a lot for Kennedy. Mm hmm. I think if he had lived,
he would be remembered as a real shit president. But Diane really gave him a lot of a lot of good
buzz. Certainly it leads people to come up with reasons for his death and a lot of them end up
where he's the hero. Right. Yeah. Well, the assassination of a president obviously would
have to be pinned on the bad guy. Right. So I mean, he must be the good guy if someone killed him.
What if the good guy? What if he was that? What if the assassin was the good guy and he
saved the world? I mean, we never even can. We never even addressed that possibility. Get me
Dr. Strange. That's what I'm asking for. So this show, my man, yeah, it's not a game. Uh-oh.
This is real. Is it? No. Oh, and I warned you on the air. This show is not a game.
This is not entertainment. This is information. And I warned you over and over and over again
to call Washington and to write letters and tell them we know you're behind the terrorist.
Are you blaming us for 9 11? I do have to tell you all welcome to a grocery store today.
This morning right after it happened down here from my house to get something.
Everybody announced Alex, we know you're right. The government blew it. I said,
I don't know if that's the case. It may be the EU doing. I want to announce this could be the
EU. I can hate your fishers and divides in this global power structure. Wow. What a time at that
grocery store. Everyone's like, Alex, you're so right. You're the hero of 9 11. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'll correct you. What might be the EU.
That might be too crazy even for fucking us, you nutbag. Alex, that doesn't make sense. What?
Oh my God. Alex, this is too hard of a swing for 2001. It's too hard of a swing. I'm not popular
enough for this yet. Not yet. Not yet. I the fucking abuse of saying if you had called your
senators more 9 11 wouldn't have happened. There is a little bit of an undertone of that.
There is an undertone of that. Yeah. If everybody had listened to me harder,
this wouldn't have happened. I think that's one reading of that. There's another reading that
kind of goes like we tried our best. You know, I could see that. No matter how many people called,
you know, you can have a clear conscience because you did what you could. I can't see that.
That's that's possible. But you know, being generous, I mean, I'm going to lean more towards the
ungenerous interpretation. I'm being hyper generous because what's about to happen is
unthinkably awful. You might. You have to in the pendulum has to swing so far to the generous
in order to understand how bad this is. Yeah. Gotcha. And whatever ill feelings you might
have about him for blaming his audience for calling senators in the side. They are
a pittance compared to what's about to happen. All right. So Alex is caught wind of the fact that
the people on board had box cutters. The sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. And so Alex's solution
is the same solution that he has for everything. Arm somebody. You know, they could solve this
whole hijacking thing. Arm the pilots with those exploding air marshal bullets that any of us can
buy. It'll go through about an inch or something, but nothing more. And put an armored bulkhead
door on those aircraft. And I'm hearing these guys supposedly hijacked these planes of paper
with box cutters. You pull a box cutter on me and folks, I grew up in Dallas, Texas. I had people
pull knives on me. I've taken them away and broken their arm. Don't brag about how Mr. Tough Guy,
but yes, you do. Dallas is rough growing up. Dallas is pretty rough. So the, you know, obviously
this machismo, this, I would fuck this guy up. Sure. That's to be expected for Alex. He has a
real macho problem. Right. But where this takes him, I think is unforgivable. The angle that he's
taking with this in this next clip, I was, I was, I was disgusted to hear this. Now that's a money
pointed gun at me. I just walked over and grabbed it. Maybe I'm stupid. But we've seen this in
schools and people pull guns, teachers tackle them. You got pilots and a plane full of people.
They supposedly had box cutters. How do we know this? One of the former Clinton administration
people was on board solicitor general's wife was on board that aircraft and called from one of the
phones, a cell phone. And if you believe that no one on a plane was mad enough that those pilots
would give control over to a plane, because somebody had a box cutter, or you believe that
they would fly it in at 500 miles an hour, that thing was moving both those planes into that
building. I got a bridge I want to sell you. So the story we're getting there is bunk. I can't
believe that you had hundreds of sheep on those planes. You pull a box cutter on me. You can't
tell me with it. Go ahead and cut me. I'm coming in. Maybe a double-edged stiletto style dagger
might be more deadly. The person was good with a knife, but still I'm coming at you.
And any man would do that. Any woman would do that. So there's a lot of uncertainty in terms
of the details of exactly how these hijackings went. So I'm not going to dip too far into
that pool, but there's something I think it's important to point out. On the evening of 9-11,
Alex is getting on his nationally syndicated radio show and arguing that the people who
died on those hijacked planes were cowards and not big, strong boys like him. That's completely
disgusting. Years, years, years after this, after 9-11, more than a decade, Mark Wahlberg would say
the same thing. And still people would be like, that's fucking awful. You monster. And he didn't
even say it as bad as Alex did on the date. I'm not really caught up on all of Mark Wahlberg's
comments, but my understanding is just that it wouldn't have happened if he was there. Right.
And I don't know why, but somehow that's kind of okay, because that's not impugning the people
who are on board as much as it is elevating yourself. Right, right, right. Which people were
greatly criticizing him for. Sure. Alex is doing both. Right. Alex is elevating himself
and calling everybody else cowards. Right. Yeah. They're not man or woman enough to do what is
human nature. Right. Right. On the day. On the day of their... I find this gross. I don't know how to...
I don't know how to live life with these people. Look, I've never been in a hijacking situation,
but I think I can imagine some scenarios where you wouldn't think it was a good idea to attack
the terrorists who have taken over the plane. For one thing, it's unlikely that you'd think that
they were going to crash the plane into a building. A lot of hijackings are done to hold hostages for
financial gains or to spread political messages. And I can see thinking that you might survive
the ordeal. Like they might just land in Cuba. I mean, if you have a knowledge of plane history
over time, you're like, oh, shit, there were actually a lot of hijackings for a while and
most everybody lived. That ended without casualties. No casualties at all. Yeah. If it's a heist type of
hijacking, then you stand to make the situation worse by trying to fight back. Since you could
be increasing the chance that the plane crashes. And you or someone else is killed. Right. Yeah.
In hindsight, it's easy to see how the people on those planes were essentially doomed,
but it seems so unfair and disrespectful to take this kind of a tone,
particularly less than 24 hours after the attacks. Alex is so gross. It's the it's that impulse,
though, that they all have the people who are like, oh, this tragedy happens. Give somebody a gun there.
You know, give a teacher a gun in school. Like all of those things. It's because
what they're really doing is expressing their fantasy of give me a gun. Let me go back in time
in that situation so I can personally be a hero. Right. Because I know everything that
would have happened so I can be the winner there. There is a bit of that. There's absolute it is
self aggrandizement. If you are saying give teachers a gun to protect students, you are saying,
I could protect everybody if I had a gun. That's what you're really saying.
And that's what he's saying right there. I can I can fight off a hijacker. I can fight off a
terrorist. I can do it all. Just put me in there. I find it less abhorrent to say I could do these
things. It's maybe it's maybe an expression of narcissism. It's maybe wrong. It's definitely
not the time for it. Sure. The night of 9 11. No. But there is something different about
it being presented as I don't believe this story because any human who is isn't a complete pile
of shit coward would have taken over the plane from the hijackers. Yeah. I find that to be
like it's a bridge too far, man. I've been played Daria here for you. Maybe he was just thinking
that's a hopeful thought. Yeah. Let's get him. Let's get him under oath. Let's see what he says.
So Alex takes some calls and one guy calls in and Alex wants his take, but unfortunately he
does not give the right take. And so Alex has to sort of try and juice his take a little bit
to finesse him into the right place. Jim in Virginia. What do you think happened here today?
In what respect? Well, you're gut level from all the evidence we brought here
down on the air before the Sabbath predicting it and all the evidence we've been collating
out. Who do you think is behind this? Oh, well, it could be Hussain, but the people that probably
had most of the money and could have pulled it off would be probably Iran. Yeah, but who stands
to gain from this? That is something we're asking ourselves here and we really have to. Okay. I'll
tell you who stands to gain from it. Well, the New World War. Washington. The markets were already
imploding on Friday and Monday. They were already talking about suspending trading.
But even more than Washington, there is a Fisher in the New World Order
reported by our scholars. A Fisher? Dr. Coleman, Dr. Kaufman, Dr. Monteef, General Parton.
We're talking about the EU and what are they doing right now? Rolling out the EU currency,
delivering it to stores and banks. Yeah, man. He's really pushing the EU did 9-11 on 9-11.
And he's pretending that he's getting this analysis from all these people. I mean,
he is not getting it. I know for one, he said multiple times on the show, he can't get a hold
of it. He's perpetually busy. Yeah, his phone's been busy all day. So now he's telling us that
this guy has given him information that there's a Fisher in the globalist camp and that has led to
the EU 9-11 planes into the World Trade Center. I would say, first of all, fuck you.
Did they try a letter first? Second, why should I have any faith that your dumb, dumb friends have
any idea if the globalists are getting along? I mean, because they do they get us weekly or
globalist us? There's a there's a maximum magazine for but just for globalists. Yeah.
Oh my God. Yeah. I think this is dumb, but it is really funny to see Alex be like,
oh, that answer is not good. 10 sex tips for the globalist in your life. Gotta try and get this
guy to say EU. So yeah, man, he's really into the EU now. So we're watching the destruction,
ladies and gentlemen. I don't know who did it. Was it been locked in acting alone?
20% chance. Was it this government? 30% chance. Didn't you say it was in 98?
The EU and their operatives and hired psychopaths or brine control subjects. 50% chance. Now,
that's my analysis. And frankly, I've never been wrong. I wish I was wrong every day.
Congratulations. Your wish has been granted. Yeah, you are wrong every day, every single day.
You have 50% chances. The EU. I do not need a genie earlier in the day. 98% chance. It was our
government, the globalists in our government. So Alex earlier in the day had Jim Wright,
his buddy, who was in a tower nearby and had witnessed the attack who may have studied
engineering in college. He had him on and it blossomed into a, oh, hey, there's probably
a controlled demolition thing. And so just for good measure, Alex has him back on. So the EU
did the controlled demolition. Yep. Okay. You bet. So you had people going into the building.
Okay. All right. All right. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know what I don't know.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So Jim is back and Alex has new bomb evidence for
him to sign off on. Okay. Now, Jimmy, you have a degree in engineering and without me even prompting
you, your wife called me here at home and we have the interview of that post on the website right now
and said, you know, Alex, Jimmy was there and then she gave us your cell phone number. We got in
touch with you as you were literally walking amongst the charred bodies that were piling up.
You, on your own accord, said that it was the most beautifully done demolition job you've
ever seen. Now I'm hearing on local and national radio and we've heard reports that this morning
there was a reporter out front as one building was smoking and the other one was smoking.
But as the first one collapsed, there was an explosion, a huge explosion at the bottom.
The reporter jumped for cover. The structural engineer who designed the building is in the
Chicago Tribune just out on info wars.com of the viewers. The listeners would like to see that
saying there's no way this could happen. He designed it to take the 777 hit.
I mean, that plane wasn't out at the time, but it would take, you know, bigger than any plane
that's been designed at this time. You know, it might even chop the top of the building off,
but those things are very strong buildings. Instead, you see a perfect falling as and then
as the top is disturbed, some fluffing off. What were your comments there as a degree to
person in structural engineering? Well, both myself and actually one of my
colleagues who's also in construction engineering. We watched it and both of our comments was that
the building fell so perfectly and vertically. There was no leaning. There was, it just came
straight down, which is a very hard thing to accomplish with a structural steel building
because the steel tends to bend. So we listened to the morning show and at no point during those
interviews was Jim walking through burning corpses that were piling up. That's a disgusting grotesque
and exploitative image that Alex is painting and he should be ashamed that that was his instinct
to do something like that. But in this clip, you can see the larger game that Alex is playing.
He's got his structural engineering expert back on so he can lay out this new bombing evidence for
him and hopefully get a more full-throated endorsement of the conspiracy ideas that Alex is
pushing. You can tell so clearly how Alex is listing this stuff off for Jim as if to explain
for him what he wants Jim to say in response. Alex is essentially trying to exploit his family
friend here and he's doing it using intentional misrepresentations of sources and meaningless
references to things he claims to have heard a local radio guy say about a local news piece that
he allegedly saw. It's ridiculous. The way he's talking to him is this is the type of coaching
you do off air. So on air it sounds natural when they actually say the shit that you want them to.
Or it's like in an interrogation room. Yeah, absolutely. No, if I was in the room with him,
I'd be like objection leading the witness, your honor. This is very obvious. Jim should be saying,
do I need a lawyer? Do I need a lawyer? No, you're not under arrest. You're good. You're good.
So I mentioned that there was a little bit of a repeated thing about the idea that bodies were
burning and flaming and like people are jumping on fire and stuff in the morning show and he's
still on that tip and I think that there's something admirable knowing nothing else about
Jim Wright and that he does try and moderate this a little bit. Jimmy, the bodies, the burning
bodies, the people coming out of the buildings, what did you see? Well, it was a little bit
of an exaggeration to say I walked among them. I went out the opposite side of our building, but
we did see building bodies. He is at least trying to not play along with the parts of
Alex's shit that is clearly exploitative. Yeah. Yeah. And this kind of feeling of like,
maybe this guy isn't so bad. A part of it comes from this clip. Anything else you'd like to add,
Jim Wright? Just pray in hope for the people that are in that building still trying to say
people are the people that are trapped. Nothing can be more frightening. All right,
Jimmy Wright, I really appreciate you joining us. So yeah, that's the first time that that kind of
concern has been voiced. Yep. And Alex's response to it was, okay, fine, moving on,
Dishquad, way to give me nothing. Well, but like, look at the look at what's being said. Jim is
pointing out that some people are still trapped. That's an awareness that Alex's listeners wouldn't
have. Yep. Up till this point. He's not reported on anything like that on the the circumstances
on the ground, the the human tragedy that's that's happening. It's because it's not important to him.
No, and it's not his movie. It's not his movie of the person walking through dead bodies and
the flames and the wreckage and there are no survivors. Because if there are no survivors,
you don't have to worry about helping people. Right. You just have to worry about Klaus Schwab,
who Alex won't know about for another 20 years. You got it. Yep. But it's the big bad guy.
If you talk about survivors, you have to start saving and helping people and
well, or at least you have to explain why you're not concerned. Yeah, you don't give a fuck. Yeah.
So Alex takes more calls and he gets a guy who brings up an idea that Alex will take to
quite a bit in the future. And that is the super EU. No, the planes were remote controlled. Ah,
yes. I'll tell you what this whole thing looked too too complicated. And I just wonder what the
chances are that, you know, the technology exists. Those aircraft operate totally on electronics
that the aircraft weren't fixed. I wonder if we will ever find that out. Well, you know,
it's funny you'd bring that up, Jim or John. That's okay. Did you see on my website the Fox
television piece about the second episode of the Lone Gunman this year? You know,
the X-File type show. I'll miss that. Alex, I'm sorry. A secret government agency takes control
of an airplane by computer and tries to crash it into the world trade center. Just like Governor
Keating's brother writing that book, Final Jihad, three years before the Oklahoma City bombing,
where he mentions Mr. McVeigh and the Alper P Federal Building. They like to brag, don't they?
Yes. The technology is there. The satellites are in place. So look, the Lone Gunman episode doesn't
prove shit, but it's the kind of evidence that Alex really loves because it blows people's minds.
What? Right. And that book by Keating, he could have easily put in the McVeigh and those details
after the fact. It was not published three years prior. That's all Oklahoma City conspiracy
lore nonsense. It's very important to pretend it is. A load of shit. So Alex has got basically
nothing, but it's exciting that nothing. These are exciting pieces of nothing. It is a little bit
of proving 9-11 was fake by pointing to a Mandela effect of the Berenstein Bears,
you know, and you're like, well, see, I gotta be honest, I'm convinced. Yeah. I mean, well,
if, if it's spelled differently, then, then I guess you're right. Yep. So now this next clip
blew my mind. Okay. I could not have been prepared for this. Okay. I told you we'd have
wide open phones and we do have wide open phones. We're about to go back to John and Kingsville,
Clayton in Missouri, Cindy in West Virginia, Mary in Oklahoma, Darrell in Texas and others.
But coming up in about five, 10 minutes, we have an unexpected guest that's going to be joining us.
We already had an eyewitness on it was in the world financial center right next door to the
world trade center towers. This unexpected guest is my friend Joe Rogan. What?
Joe Rogan. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Dan, Dan, Dan,
do not tell me that Joe Rogan was on Alex Jones's show on the night of 9 11. Yeah.
Dan, that's there are four guys. Okay. We need more guys need more. There are not enough people
because they keep fucking showing up everywhere. It's so bizarre to me though. You know, you have
Rogan showing up on, but I guess it's, it's kind of different because Richard Belzer was on the
day of the Boston bombing. Right. But that was just a coincidence. He was there and then he
decided to stick around because there was a bombing. Yeah. And he was having fun.
This is Rogan coming on because there was a bombing and he wants to talk about it.
Why isn't this known? Why don't, why do we, why is it this known? Why isn't he talking about it?
I feel like whenever he talks about his friendship with that, he's like the night of 9
11. I feel like that's a notable moment. Yeah. That is a remarkable thing that I would tell people.
Yeah. These, you know, you always remember where you were on 9 11. I was on info wars.
How do you not say that? That's weird. That is, why is this? I wasn't ready for that. He's not on,
he can't be on. Yeah. I was expecting literally any, I was like ready for the new gen. I was ready
for anybody, but I can't believe that on 9 11, 2001, Rogan to fucking news radio Rogan.
No, this is a few years after that. This is fear factor Rogan. You're right. You're right. Yeah.
This is yelling at people. Rogan. I don't know the, I don't know. You made this up.
I refuse. I believe you have gone back in time and forced these two men together. If I could
justify our life, I would not do that. Please don't. So Alex has basically convinced himself
of his own conspiracies. Sure. And for I let you go, Alex, I wanted to say, you know, the listeners,
get on the phone. The first thing I did today was I called Senator Upperson and Senator Graham
and voiced my concerns about what happened today. They need to hear from us right now more than ever.
And are you letting them know that you smell a rat? Yes, sir. I sure did. I love knowing what I
thought about the building and imploding also, obviously imploding. Well, you just heard a
structural engineer and the designer is in the Chicago Tribune saying that couldn't happen.
It sure did. Yeah, because of shape charges at the columns at the base. So none of that's real. I
mean, he had a friend of his who knows a little bit about engineering at best and amateur engineer,
which is not a thing. Sure. I mean, unless he's a train, a model train guy, maybe you could be.
I don't know what Jim's got going on in his basement. Probably a building.
Maybe. So yeah, you got that. Congratulations. That's not much to go on. Not a lot. And then
you have a lie about a Chicago Tribune. You got a big lie. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Well, it's confirmed.
There's nothing here. No, there's literally nothing. Yeah. But it's loud. Nothing. True. Yeah.
And it's interesting. Nothing like the lone gunman, the fund, the thought, the impulse that a human
being would have to think after hours after two planes took down the world. And you think 20,000
plus people are dead. You call Lindsey Graham to tell him that there were charges on the bottom of
the building because I misread or I didn't read a Chicago Tribune article that Alex is lying to
me about. Right. Right. And then Alex says they need that now more than ever. Yes. Right now.
That is the first thing that our Congress people now when exactly they'll never do anything about
it. Yeah. If it weren't for this guy. So Alex is just misusing sources and shit, but it's also
intentional. Yeah. It's very clearly intentional. Two large passenger planes, medium sized,
slammed into both the south and north tower of the World Trade Center today. We had a structural
engineer on the designer of the towers is saying in the Chicago Tribune that that is impossible.
What happened? Only shaped charges at the bottom could cause that. That's what he's saying. Kevin
Booth's brother-in-law, who I know very well, who is an investment guy that works in the financial
tower said that explosions obviously did go off. He was an eyewitness to several hundred yards away
from it. The buildings came down. We had the Pentagon being attacked. You simply would not act
like this if you were a sincere person acting with honest motives. If your goal was to deliver the
facts or even the facts as you see them, you would not mess around and fake your sources like this.
This isn't sloppiness. This can only really be the product of intentional deception. Yeah. There
are two giant manipulations that Alex is trying to pull off in that clip. The first is the way he
discusses the Chicago Tribune article. The engineers who designed the World Trade Center didn't say
that this was impossible, but now Alex is saying that and adding in language that makes it sound
like this source included them saying that only shaped charges could do this. He includes that as
an extension of his sentence where he's relaying the alleged comments from this engineer. So anyone
listening would obviously think this was Alex continuing to convey what was in this Tribune
article when in reality, it's just Alex making shit up. Yeah. If you read it, then there would
be quotation marks around a certain spot. Right. And then it would be a comma and then his editorializing
would continue. But if you're listening to it, you don't know where those scare quotes are.
It's true. There you go. This isn't something he's doing on accident. It's to make his shit talk
appear like it's reporting that's based on something. The second thing that Alex is doing
is the way he's characterizing his interview with Jim Wright. You can see in that 42nd clip,
he mentions talking to Jim twice, but he's trying to make it seem like these mentions are
about two different people that he's interviewed. One mention is of a family friend who was a first
hand witness to the attack and the other is a structural engineer. If you were just trying
to recap for anyone tuning in, you wouldn't present things this way. He mentions a structural
engineer that he had on, then lies about the Tribune article, then talks about his friend who's
an investment banker and first hand witness. The two characterizations of Jim's interview
are separated because Alex is hoping to disconnect these ideas in his listener's mind in order to
make the narrative stick easier. Right. The first hand witness, Jim Wright, who's an investment
banker and friend of Alex's, should be something interesting that happened on the show, but ultimately
it should be forgotten. All Alex wants the audience to remember is that there was a seemingly
very knowledgeable structural engineer whose name doesn't really matter, who was on Alex's show on
the day of 9-11, who said that the building had to have had explosions in it. There's no way it
would fall like that. Yeah. Alex does this kind of shit all the time. In his deposition for the
Texas Sandy Hook case, there was a particularly good illustration of this same behavior.
Mr. Jones, before we break, I had asked you about your statement about what
state police officers were threatened, and you told me Mr. Halbig and maybe somebody else.
Correct? Mm-hmm. Okay. Then you said that school investigation experts were threatened. Who was
that? It wasn't just Halbig. I remember there were some other groups and people asking questions and
some other professors, other than Fetcher's. I was really going off what Fetcher said. Okay.
And then you said that in addition to those two groups, that some school safety experts had been
threatened. Who was that? They were talking about Halbig. Right. I mean, all of these are talking
about Halbig, right? No. This is one of Alex's very common tactics, where I'll take one piece of
information, obscure it, and then multiply it into a bunch of different places and pieces of
information in order to create the appearance that he has so much more evidence than he actually does.
In that clip from his deposition, he knew that if he just said that Wolfgang Halbig had been
threatened, it would seem like a very specific incident that relates to one person who was also
harassing victims' family members. Yeah. But through Alex's rhetorical magic, you now have the
specter of state police, school investigation experts, and school safety experts that had
been threatened. And this creates the appearance of a giant coordinated effort to intimidate the
people who would be in a position to challenge the official narrative of what happened at Sandy
Hook. This is an effective tool to use because if you aren't paying close attention or if you
haven't listened to the episode where various things are alleged to have happened, you may just
passively accept that Alex has a ton of details that he's working off of, but that's definitely
not the case. Yeah. You assume that he has this structural engineer professional and a friend who's
a first-hand witness. Yeah. The same person and he's not a structural engineer. It helps that
you're listening to it on the radio, otherwise you would have to, like if you were seeing this in
real life, his friend would be wearing a nice suit, investment bankery, and then he's like, ah,
the structural engineer and his friend would go behind the curtain, put a little cap on and a
mustache and be like, ah, I'm the structural engineer friend. Yeah. On the radio, you get away
with that a lot easier. Right. Right. And so like in the same way that Alex wants this to appear,
like there's a number of things, not just Wolfgang, how big whining. Right. Right. He wants that
appeared because the actual reality sucks and it doesn't work for him. The actual reality of his
interview with Jim Wright also doesn't work. Right. And so he has to obscure it and create
multiple tendrils that he can use for different things out of it. And that's something that he
does a bit. And that's one of the things that's actually really difficult to trace down. Yeah.
One of the tactics, it's one of the tactics that he uses that it's, it requires having listened
to a ton of his shit in order to be like, that's where this is coming from. Right. Right. Right.
And we're kind of fortunate that like this is kind of self-contained to some extent. You know,
like he's referencing this thing that happened earlier in the day and we listened to that episode.
Right. And so like that helps make that track down easier. But he does this a lot with things that
are like, well, I'll never be able to know what the fuck he's talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
No, this is one of the things that I think is probably the most common and maybe useful tool
of media literacy at all is just understanding what people are saying when they say experts.
You know, like you read any number of different things about any number of different things
and they're quoting experts and the people who are they're quoting, it's, it's don't trust, quote
experts ever on anything. Well, conditionally, conditionally trust them. Yeah. But not whenever
Alex is saying it. So, uh, experts in, um, fix some mups at a news radio station.
Tech guy. They did do the space episode one time. He was, he, well, he did destroy everybody.
Joe Gorelli. Oh, come on. The line you're supposed to, your last name's Gorelli.
Joe Rogan is on and Alex gives him quite an intro here to give us the Hollywood perspective is my
good buddy who knows all about the globalist Joe Rogan. He of course was one of the top guys on
the popular syndicated show news radio. Now the host of fear factor with all the stunts,
number one, ready to show on television. And I was honored with Kevin Booth. I'm making a film
with with Joe, um, told us he wanted to come on. I am just really excited about having Joe Rogan
on Joe. It's good to talk to you. Hey Alex, what's going on man? I don't want to sound like a dick
because I love news radio and I think Rogan was great in his role, but you're kidding yourself
if you say he was one of the top guys on that show. Yeah. It was an ensemble cast, but you're
high. If you think that he was in the varsity level of that ensemble, I mean fifth, fifth,
maybe I actually sat down and thought about this for quite a while. Yeah. I think he's
at best sixth banana. Yeah. You think so? Yeah. Let's see. Dave Foley and, uh,
Phil Hartman are tied for first. Sure. More to me is right below that 100%. She's amazing. Yeah.
Yeah. And in the like the clump of the top, right? The ensemble, right? Then there's the people who
have like storylines that are pretty consistently featured. Sure. You have Vicki Lewis, right?
You have Andy Dick and you have Jimmy James. Yeah. Steven Root. Yeah. Yeah. And then underneath
that you have, uh, Candy Alexander and Joe Rogan. And that's cause Candy Alexander was
fucking brutally underused. She was fantastic. And you can, yeah, I agree. And you can make an
argument that Rogan may have also been somewhat underused. No, I think Rogan was used exactly
the right amount cause anymore, and he would be exactly like Rogan, which is annoying and
really bothersome to me. Very possible. Um, yeah. An argument can be made that he was
accurately. Yeah. I would say so. But, um, yeah, man, Steven Root is sneak,
watching news radio then I would not have thought one, Steven Root is going to look better 30 years
later. Sure. And two, he's going to have the career that maybe I, uh, envy the most out of
anybody ever. He's a solid actor and he's amazing. Yeah. Um, so yeah. Sixth banana probably,
although there means a memorable moment. Certainly. Sure. One of the all time. Yeah. Yeah. Not many
beyond that. Hmm. Well, there was that. He's, he's part of that, uh, that we'll just talk about
the shaft. That is true. I can dig it. Yeah. Yeah. That one was good. He was a part of that
exchange. That was a great morning meeting. Yeah. Yeah. Um, me want to be big, strong,
refrigerator refrigerator. So messy. Yeah. Yeah. Some, some, uh, some wins, but, uh, come on guys.
Come on. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, Phil Hartman, if you, if you
even breathe without saying Phil Hartman and news radio in the same sentence, if you said,
Andy Dick was one of the top guys on, I might fight you. No, I would agree with that. I disagree.
I disagree. Matthew is featured constantly. I understand. There's always stuff going on with
Matthew. Well, yes, but anybody could. Well, I will admit the way he fell was pretty spectacular.
Yes. He knew how to fall him and, uh, Vicki Lewis. Yeah. Like they were the zaniness. Yeah.
Totally. And so like they were featured a lot because you need that, right? That dynamic,
the ball, the chaos, the bucket, the ball episode where they throw, but yeah, but that one. Yep.
The complaint box. Oh God. The complaint box is the greatest episode of TV. That and the door,
the cane, of course, absolutely. Or the smoking. This one displeases me. This one. I'll keep this
this one. Don't keep. Oh, man. Anyway, no news radio talk because we got to talk to Rogan. Yeah.
So, uh, Alex, you know, he started out the morning show wanting people to know that he
predicted this. He started out the evening show talking about how he predicted this. Right. Now
he's going to start off this interview with Rogan taking Rogan, making Rogan admit that Alex predicted
Joe, you know, I was predicting this, uh, telling you all about it. Well, you know, you do predict
that the government is doing these things, but I mean, uh, you don't believe that there's people
in other countries that hate us. Oh, I know there are, but I know this MSNBC, but Laden comes home
to lose his CIA ties are only the beginning of the story MSNBC. Well, I mean, he supposedly had
CIA ties when he was working for the CIA, but that doesn't mean that he didn't like get angry
when he was working with the CIA and decided that's when he decided to hate America. Well,
now they're saying it can be a right deal with the CIA is pretty ridiculous. No, I hear you. Now
they're saying it could be Iraq. They're saying it could be anybody. It could be Iran. My question
is why didn't we take back that 1991? So if I had a ton more time to prepare this episode,
I would have made a supercut of every time Alex reads that headline about bin Laden coming home
to roost. It's been probably a hundred times he's used it and he's never actually discussed the
content of the article or how, you know, he glosses over about how it's about the 1993 bombing.
He's got the headline and optically that's as good as any evidence. So whatever. Alex throws
that headline at Joe who has the most common sense reply that bin Laden may have been working with
the CIA in the past, but to think that he still is would be ridiculous. Alex should disagree with
this, but he can't really support his own argument. So he just gives up on that point to Joe who
essentially wins. Yeah. And then he moves on to his next talking point about how he should have
killed Saddam and taken over Baghdad in the last Gulf War. Right. What's going on is that Alex has
a few conversation paths as options. And he went down one with Joe, which turned out to be a dead
end to distract the audience from realizing that it is a dead end. And Alex has nothing to say about
this article that he's constantly bringing up. He pivots to a completely different subject. This
is disorienting if you're taking the conversation seriously and think there's a coherent point
going on here. Alex is saying that he's been predicting this and that the government uses
these kinds of events to accrue power, which Rogan agrees with. At this point in the day,
there's already some talk about bin Laden being responsible going on. So Alex trots out this
article from 1998 to demonstrate that he's correct and that even if bin Laden did it, it was still
the government. Joe points out that this doesn't prove that bin Laden is working with the CIA now,
which is at the crux of what Alex is suggesting by bringing up that article. And then Alex completely
crumbles and starts talking about Saddam. This is not a normal or rational conversation or interview
path because it's neither of these things. It's an attempt to get Joe to mirror Alex's talking
points, which failed in its first attempt. So Alex tried another road. Right. That's what's going
on. Yeah, it is. It is. It is interesting to me that he didn't immediately bring up that the EU
did it because the EU is the most likely it's 50% over both Iraq and the government. Well,
Joe Rogan is no people at the grocery store. So why wouldn't I why wouldn't Alex be like, Hey man,
I'm hearing Germany did it. What do you think in the EU? They are just launching this currency,
Germany. They've been coming for us in the past, right? Why not? I'm, you know, I think that Alex
is maybe wants to ease into it a little bit. You don't want to throw that at Rogan right off the
bat. Maybe blow his mind. Maybe he knows that it sounds crazy to even Joe Rogan. I don't know. Maybe
he thinks that Rogan will like take bite down on that cyanide capsule if he hears that it's the
EU. Are you kidding me? I can't deal with this reality. It is. It is funny because the way
Alex talks makes you feel like he's going down in this hedge maze, you know, where he's turning
down this corner. He's like, well, nothing there. So I'm going to go back around that. But if you
listen to the totality, it's more like we're in the hedge maze and he's just creating bullshit as
you go along and you're trying to get to a conversation and there's nowhere to go. It's
just a maze. Yep. That's about it. Yeah. So Alex wants the Hollywood response to what's going on.
And I'm going to apologize in advance. There's a slur in here. Our slur coming up. Hopefully. And
here's what Joe sees. What are your friends out in Hollywood saying about all this? You know,
people are freaking out. I mean, there's a bunch of people that take the reproach. It's like,
everybody is always going to be there. You know, the racist approach where people assume that everybody
of Middle Eastern descent is responsible for this and you hear a lot of racial slurs and you hear
it everywhere from all sorts of different people. I've been hearing camel jockeys and all those
terms on extreme radio. Yeah. No, I just heard it on your show. And also I have not included it,
but there have been some like collars who have said definitely things that border on
definite slurs. I would say that they are pejorative terms. That's a good word. That's
a good word. Yeah. Pejorative is a great euphemism for a fuck off word. Yeah. So Alex. Yeah. I mean,
if you really look at the way that Joe is criticizing the media. Yeah, he's criticizing
Alex. Perhaps more so even than a large percentage of the media that I watch. Yeah. I don't, I mean,
there was not that much. I mean, there was some saber rattling, but not as much as you might have
expected. I think we need to nuke them. That's what Alex said immediately nuke on him. Yeah. Jesus.
There was less of that except for that secretary. That guy's nuts. Yeah. Gotta kill someone. Gotta
kill somebody. Yeah. That was a, that was an outlier. What a psycho. So you were, you were like,
Hey, why won't he say it's the EU? Yeah. And if you just waited a little while, we would have
gotten there. All right. All right. And your theory might have been correct. Joe, what about the EU
run by the Germans? They're rolling out their new currency stock market priority crashing globally.
The EU was up against the dollar. You know, everything is about currency speculation. A lot
of the evidence I'm getting from my sources say this could be an EU move and look how they attacked
our very financial center to destroy the dollar. You think, wait a minute, let me get this straight.
You think that this was Europe attacking America to destroy our economy? Yeah. I know that in
Davos, Switzerland, eight months ago, they announced that they were going to be preeminent. The dollar
was going down. That's what he thinks. And there's been a global fight going on in the news analysis
between the two guarantees. I think, you know, until we have any evidence of who did this,
anything else is just irresponsible speculation. Joe, my point is we have to ask who is behind
this. You talk about irresponsible speculation. Look at the mainstream media. They're out there
saying a hundred different people did it. I think that Joe is responses. All right. You know,
because there is a, what are you talking about? He clearly doesn't believe him,
clearly doesn't agree. Absolutely not. And he's being polite in the pushback in terms of like,
this is irresponsible speculation, basically. Right. And I think that there's something to
tip the old cap. Sure. Sure. I mean, listen, we're already, the problems that need to be solved
happen way before we get to Joe giving anybody a lesson in ethics and journalism.
Okay. So I'm not going to complain about that. Well, here's, here's something that I was surprised
about. I mean, first of all, surprised that Joe was here. And then second, I was surprised that
as I was listening to this, I think that Joe Rogan at this point is who he thinks he is now.
Yeah. In 2001, Joe Rogan is his self perception in 2022. Right. Cause he is, he can push back on
Alex. Yeah. And this doesn't go well. Ooh, this interview goes bad. Ooh, that's nice on 9 11.
That's, that's boy, all the jokes that I won't make. It's really surreal to know what's about to
like, we're about to discuss and recognize that this is the evening of 9 11. I just, I'm, it's
when we were doing our last episode scenarios are so big, you know, so vast that this the
universe is, you know, you think about the pale blue dot, you know, Carl Sagan talking about the
pale blue dot. Carl Sagan would be like, fucking no way is Joe Rogan showing up on 9 11. What the
fuck are we talking about? Blow this shit up. That's what, that's what Carl Sagan is saying
about this appearance. That's what I'm telling everybody right now. Yeah. It's like, if Alex was
doing his show and like Pearl Harbor happened, and he has Milton Burl on to tell him like, Hey,
calm down. Stop. No, I think it was South America. What is wrong with you? Yeah.
Absurd. So, um, Alex, you know, he, he's not like the commies. The commies want to kill people.
And here again, Joe pushes back on some stuff. Alex is throwing out. It looks like they did
shoot down that plane outside Pittsburgh. Well, yeah. Well, I'm, I mean, I can't say I'm glad
they did it, but you know, if it costs fewer lives, then I guess it was the right thing to do it.
Well, Joe, I'm all upfront. I mean, the communists have killed 200 million people, but the colleges
tell you they're cool. So I care about human life, but you know, I don't think colleges tell you
communists are cool. I think they told me that socialism is cool because socialism is what,
you know, a lot of, uh, you know, educational people want. They want us to share wealth and
share, you know, I think it's ridiculous. So I think, but I think it's the ideal that they
support not communist itself and not, you know, ruthless communist dictatorships and what they
do to their people. Well, they called him Uncle Joe Stalin until the 1950s in the newspapers.
Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, I've said, I've heard that from that. Yeah. Well, I have heard from
my own mouth many a time. Yeah. Well, all right. I guess if you're hinging your conspiracy and
you're rebuttal to my point is they called him Uncle Joe. Well, okay. You're on solid ground.
Moving on then. Yeah. I think that Joe appears to be far more capable of critical thinking.
He appears to be far more able to hold his own. He has a centered grounded position of a thought.
Yep. He's not going to be bullied by Alex into being like, whoa, maybe it is the EU. Holy
shit. Don't get old. I think that's the lesson we're learning here. Don't get old. Everybody
who gets old winds up sucking later on. I know. I know he liked weed. I'm pretty sure even back
then. Yeah, of course. No, no, no. I'm not going to say that like doing drugs for 30 years has
messed his brain up. I'm not saying that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm saying that maybe one of the drugs
he did did it. Oh, we'll never know which you don't think so. Well, I mean, how would you judge?
Well, I mean, we don't know if he licked toad with Tyson again. It's, it's not the same. I'm
sorry. I'm sorry. I'm still going to use the colloquial term for, because you can't say do
and toad and I don't want to say snorting toad or smoking toad. I feel like toad is not a culprit
here. Okay. You want to say DMT? No, I don't want to say that either. I feel like he's got to have
done a ton of like other weird things that no one's ever heard of, right? Like chemicals,
right? Experimental chemicals and stuff. Here's what I'm going to say. I'm going to say it has
nothing to do with drugs. And I'm going to say the number one drug that would cause something
like this is surrounding yourself with yes men and people like Alex Jones who will consistently
reinforce your position regardless of whatever it is that you are saying, thus leading you down to
a lazy thought pattern because you never have to try. That's true. That could, that could be a part
of it. Also cultivating a fan base full of people who don't challenge you in terms of staying
on some kind of a critical path, I think is probably corrosive. Yeah. But yeah,
if he had just done drugs and not become famous, I think he would be a better person.
If people still made him own up to hosting the man show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or being on
Info Wars on 9 11. Boy, that's weird. So yeah, um, Rogan is not playing ball with Alex really.
And Alex can bring up something that Joe can respond to and be like, well, what do you, you
know, Joe's response can just be like, well, I don't know about that. They're not into communist
dictators. Right. They're just some of these socialist ideas like Medicare. Right. Right.
Social security. I do like he's like, which I think are fucking stupid, but whatever those
smart people, those educational people, I think he thinks social security is probably fine,
but he's talking about like redistribution and whatever. But whatever that is, Alex is realizing
that like this is not going to work. So I'm going to have to blindside him. And so he tries to with
the Northwood stuff. Gotcha. I had James Bamford, former 2020 executive on different network from
you. You're NBC, but it says new book on the safety of light on secrets. U S terror plan called
Cuban invasion pretext by Scott chain and Tom Bowman. Uh, it says here, um, this is the Baltimore
Sun also New York times. They wanted to quote casually list. That means numbers of dead in
U S newspapers would cause a helpful wave of indignation. Uh, they wanted to blow up passenger
airliners, attack the Marines at Guantanamo using army dressed up as Cubans as a pretext to invade
Cuba. Now Kennedy said no six months later, his head was sloppy. Joe's Joe, how do you respond
to that? I know you're a web guy. You can read the stories and hear the clips. Well, you know,
I've heard any million, uh, number of different theories on why and how Kennedy was assassinated
and by who and you know, I suspect, uh, you know, one of them out there is true. I suspect the
government probably had something to do with it. But as far as, you know, that, I mean, but Joe,
not even the Kennedy thing, it's confirmed in essay documents, the joint pieces of staff signed on
to it. So Alex has already realized that Joe is clearly not in favor of declaring that the
globalists or the EU did 9 11 and Alex has no argument to make that they did. So he's in a
tough position. He knows that Joe isn't a pushover in 2001 and that he has his own celebrity and he
isn't 100% bought into Alex's shit like the other guests Alex has had on, on 9 11. That's tough,
because if he starts asking too many questions about why Alex believes the things he's saying or
what proof he has base, like to base his claims on, it might become clear that Alex is just making
shit up. So Alex goes on offense. This clip is him putting Joe in a completely unfair and unwinnable
situation. Joe has expressed that he doesn't think the government necessarily did this and
questions Alex's idea about a possible motive. So instead of arguing that point, Alex throws
Operation Northwoods at him. Joe doesn't know about this document. He's never read it. So this
conversation has to happen entirely on Alex's terms or not at all. Joe has to accept Alex's
framing and details or say I haven't read that so I can't have this conversation. The latter option
is more responsible but also isn't super productive in a radio interview setting. Plus,
if you know Alex, you know he's not going to respect that he's just going to have the conversation
anyway. Yeah, Alex is forcing Joe to engage with something he knows nothing about, which supposedly
proves that the government had plans approved to do a 9-11 back in the 60s. So from an optic
standpoint, Alex is making it Joe's responsibility to debunk this document before they can even really
begin to talk about the actual matter at hand, which is impossible. Yeah, sometimes whenever
moving the goalposts isn't going to work for you, what you have to do is switch to playing
highlight. Right. So you're like, ah, football is really hard. I'm not going to do that shit.
Highlight it is, buddy. Or that old Thomas Jefferson quote. Whenever they start figuring
out the answers, that's when I change the question. That's a great Thomas Jefferson quote. Yep.
This is what Alex is doing is in essence the same thing he does in terms of using OKC as cover for
the 9-11 bomb theories. It's an attempt to force someone to complete some other task before you
get to the real issue that you're supposed to be talking about. It's like Alex is an NPC in a
video game sending you on a fetch quest in the middle of the main mission, but it's a poorly
designed game. So you kind of know that once you finish that side quest, they're just going to send
you on another. It's going to be a long time until you get to the main mission. Yeah, it's going to
take a lot of patience to have any actual conversation with Alex. Yeah, just going to keep throwing
out. Oh, no, I need an amulet if we're going to go into this cave or whatever the fuck. Right. It's
annoying. You want to know what my Kennedy conspiracy theory is? Please. My conspiracy theory is this.
Let me. Are you? No, no, no, no. It's even worse. Oh boy. It's the government
that is disseminating conspiracy theories because they don't want people to know how easy it is to
just murder the president. Like honestly, if you look back at American history, there have been at
least four should have been murdered presidents that weren't murdered. That's true. You know,
you've got Andrew Jackson twice, two guns jammed in his face, should have bat his head blown off.
Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt gone. Ronald Reagan out of here. Yeah, those were those were
not sophisticated plan. No, you do not need a sophisticated plan. You can just shoot them.
They're just dudes. I'm not saying I'm not. Obviously, obviously, not saying that. Obviously,
not. But it is not a complicated process. But it's but you can hear you can hear it in Joe's
voice too. He's like, it's there are so many things. There's so many moving parts. There's
got to be a complicated plan behind it. There's got to be somebody with money behind it. It's
got to be that oceans 11 heist. And it can really just be a dude who's none of those other ones were.
Yeah. And and for what it's worth. I mean, even the I mean, there was some planning and
conspiracy involved in the Lincoln assassination. Yeah, of course. Not like, oh, we got to get
Russia involved. Yeah. That is interesting. Yeah. I mean, I don't agree. I don't believe your premise.
No, I mean, I'm not saying the government is actually interesting to think about how
there's an expectation that that has to be the most Byzantine thing. Yeah. No,
everybody thinks that it should be really, really hard to assassinate the president of
self. But if you look back at assassinations that worked and didn't work, all you really need is the
chutzpah to try and maybe the chips will fall where they may. Well, I'm going to need you to go on
Rogan while we're in Austin and ask him about this. I think that's a good one. So look, Alex
can't handle this interview. Alex has some thoughts about Hollywood. And unfortunately, Joe is in
Hollywood. What does this do for our image oriented country? What actions might Hollywood take to
help prompt things up? I don't think Hollywood ever should be in a position to take any actions
whatsoever. Hollywood is about entertainment and making money. You know, Hollywood trying to
prop things up. I think it's pretty ridiculous. But they're kind of doing that. You know, they're
taking a lot of federal money on some of these army scripts and stuff. Are they really? Oh,
yeah. Movies like Pearl Harbor. Yeah, exactly. They take army money in what way? All the free
equipment. And then the army tells them how to write the script and what to do and what to take
out. Well, you know what? I highly doubt the army tells them what to do and what to take out. I think
they do probably tell them that they can't have the army or the military, you know, viewed in a
poor way, like displayed in a pure poor way. But I highly doubt they give them money. For them,
it's also good publicity, though. You have to realize, I mean, for recruitment to watch a movie
like Pearl Harbor where the kids join the Navy and become heroes, you know, for an impressively
young kid. Now that might be just a push that they need to get them into the armed services.
Yeah, it created a lot of people wanting to fly F-14s when Tom Cruise made Top Gun.
Yeah, no, absolutely. And the military's well aware of that.
Yeah. So Alex is arguing against his own point. Yeah, I'm confused as to why Alex thinks that
this is a conversation he's having. Because he fucking crumbled. He tried to make a claim.
Rogan was like, nah, that doesn't, that doesn't track. I don't think that. All right. No way.
Okay. Next try. What else do I got in my, he's just pulling bags. He's got a bag of candies.
And he's just throwing them at Joe Rogan like, does this one taste good? Does this one taste
good? Let's see if the media tastes good. Okay. And what the media is there for,
it's a business to make money. And as soon as it falters in any way, shape, or form,
they will adjust it and correct it and put it back in a position to make money.
Whether that means hiring attractive people to work as news anchors or sprucing up the soundtrack
or doing whatever the hell they have to do, they're there to get raiding. Now, I mean,
look at, look at what's going on with Shark Attack. There's less Shark Attack this year
than any other year before, but they've locked onto it as a point of focus. And now they talk
about it constantly. And then suddenly you see HBO rearing jaws every night. Right. Well, it's
just, it's all about what is working. Right now, what is working is Shark Attack. Today, what is
working is a terrorist attack and whatever is working. That is working today. That's what the
media is. Did you just say? The idea that people have, that the media is controlled by some secret
government agencies and it's all just propaganda, you know, to, uh, you know, ensure, you know,
that people get conformed to the police state. That's ridiculous. I know all the people behind
these shows, they don't care about anything but money. They want ratings. They want 18 to 49.
That's what they want. People who are 18 years old and 49 and whatever gets them, that's what'll
be on. Yeah, but Joe, you know, mad TV and news radio and host Fairfax, the number one show
in the mansion. A lot of those media anchors may not say it to your face, but they're
counsel and fine relations members. They go off to those group meetings that are now
being publicized. They're calling for what government people that are in charge,
like people in charge of CNN and places like that. Well, we know Ted Turner gave a billion
bucks to the UN. I mean, come on. Come on. I think Ted Turner gives a lot of money out for
tax purposes. Look, Alex is not being able to handle like what are basically simple rebuttals
to his points. Yeah. This is bad. Yeah. This is an embarrassing show. Yeah. This is, this is a man
going like, eh, come on. That doesn't make that much sense. And Alex going, ah, you're right.
Well, what's interesting is that Alex can't be too mean to Joe because he is the host of
Fear Factor. Yeah. One of the top rated shows in the country. For real. Yeah. It was, it was huge.
It's weird to think back on that. That like, yeah, it was winning its time slot. Oh, yeah.
People loved watching him yell at people so they would eat bugs. Everybody, everybody who is ever
making fun of like, oh, the pet rock fat is like, man, Fear Factor is way worse than that shit.
I mean, it didn't last long. The ratings crumbled pretty fast. But yeah, it was a phenomenon.
But, but yeah, I think that there's something really interesting going on here. And that is
that like, because Alex can't really fight with him all that much without risking the friendship
of a really famous guy, right? More important than gold. Yeah. He has to like put these things out
that he's supposed to say. Sure. Rogan pushes back in the most like obvious way. Yeah. Alex has no
rebuttals for this. Anything is his arguments are flimsy and paper thin. He's making up these people
who are controlling things and going to Bilderberg and all this stuff. And because of that,
he just has to give up on all these points. He can't keep arguing without revealing that he
doesn't have a second step to this argument or even really a first step based on it. He doesn't
have feet. He doesn't have enough feet to step with. Yeah. And it's really depressing. I mean,
first of all, you know, seeing Alex this, this incompetent is not great, but then seeing Joe this
able to navigate this territory and like obviously he didn't ruin their friendship. Right. He was
able to give voice to these counterpoints to what Alex was saying and show a little frustration
while he's doing it. Sure. Yeah. Not let Alex just get away with whatever nonsense he's saying.
Right. And I think maybe part of that dynamic is that he's on Alex's show. Yeah. Like if he's on
his own show, he wants Alex to be. Yeah. Wind him up. Get going. Get crazier. Get to do more of what
you want to do. Yeah. I'm here for entertainment. He doesn't really benefit from Alex's ratings.
Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Oh man. I just don't know how you live.
I, that, the day we're talking about was 9-11, correct? Yeah. And this is happening on that day.
Yep. And Joe Rogan said, I wasn't planning to remind you of that for a little bit longer.
Terrorist attacks are working today. Yeah. Is such a thing to say on 9-11. It's really weird
because it's also in the context of that. Like why is everyone talking about shark attack?
Sure. Because it's what's working. It's a media creation or whatever. Yeah. Sure.
Wow. That's a little different when they're, why, tiny bit. Well, I mean, I feel like there would
be a real, you'd have to be really bizarrely disconnected from how humans work in order
to be like, why is everyone talking about terrorist attacks today? Yeah. That would have
to be insane. That would be an insane thing to do. Oh, well, terrorist attacks are what's
driving money now is the, I understand being critical of people talking about sharks. Sure.
I agree. We kill more sharks than they kill us and they're better. This one's different.
Very different. So Alex, really, if he knew what he was doing at all, he would just bail on talking
about anything that has to do with the media or the entertainment industry, but he can't.
Joe, just for you, because we're all about the documentation, I'm going to post stories about
the Justice Department writing scripts for law and order. Really? Done, done. Yes. And where did
this come from? Oh, ABC, NBC, MSN. ABC and NBC have admitted to the Justice Department
write scripts for law and order. Yeah. So you're out there. Why law and order?
Do what? Why law and order? How much of those shows? There's nothing to do with keeping people in
line or, you know, the, you know, showing you phony court proceedings where the judge is the boss
and violates the Constitution. Look, I didn't, I didn't write it. I mean, they did. Well, I would
be more than happy to read it. But like, you know, obviously I can't comment on it until I read it.
You know, I do know people who run television shows. I know a lot of people who run a lot of
the top rated shows. I know the guy who invented, who wants to marry a multimillionaire and all these
other crazy shows on television. And despite what people think of the motives of all these people
putting these shows on for, you know, larger, grander, evil reasons for evil reasons rather
these people just are after rating. Yeah. Why would ABC have anything to say about law and order
being how it was written? It wasn't on ABC. Wow. It's an NBC show. You know, ABC is trying to,
they're trying to take law and order down a peg, you know, ABC's got a scoop on their NBC rivals
about how they're letting the government write their shows. Was W thinking about making Dick
Wolfe the attorney general? I mean, what he's, what, what Rogan is not allowing for is the possibility
that the government was writing these scripts because W had a particular thing that he liked
law and order to do, you know? Can, listen, we find out now every day more of what the queen
is doing extra judicially. She's influencing laws and shit. They're getting all away with
murdering animals on their shit. Doing all that. Why couldn't W be like, Hey, listen, I want the
next storyline for law and order to be. I think that's a reasonable thought. So you're, you're
thinking it's the DOJ is making requests to tailor entertainment for the president as opposed to
it being in a various conspiracy. Nope. I just 100% a man going like, I wish I had control over law
and order. They're, they're ripping the wrong stories from the headline. Why not? I've found
more entertaining headlines for them to cover. The government has used more power for less
important shit. You're not wrong. But yeah, Joe's not buying that shit. No. And this again, just
Alex, like he's drawn to this topic that he should avoid it. Just get, stop it. That's literally all
they do. But then they bring them to the people who run the network who have also met. Not many
people are evil. Not many people are working for the government. They're all hustlers. They're
all putting things in front of you that they think you'll buy. You know, it's, it's a guy walking
on the street. Hey man, you want to buy a watch? That's what the networking executive is. It's just
in a grander scale. It's sitcoms. It's variety shows. It's reality shows, whatever it is. It's
just there to get your attention and to get your money. It's just there. So you'll tune in and buy
a Toyota truck or, you know, tie chain detergent. That's what it's there for. That's all it's
there for. So all this crazy notion that the government is, uh, you know, using us like puppets
through the media is ridiculous. I'm deep, deep, deep inside the media. Okay. I know exactly what
goes on. I know who these people are. I'm the host of Fear Factor. I'm starting emailing you the
stories. Okay, but I'm telling you, I'm friends with Weinstein. Stories are very suspect. I don't
necessarily believe them. And I think they sound like a ridiculous notion. I don't think people
Henry Kissinger and others, and I have the news stories here. We're on TV tonight
saying we need to give up our liberties for security. Do you agree that we should give up
our liberty? So it's a little bit of jarring. Well, it's because Alex needed to retreat to
safer territory. This was going very poorly for him because Joe's not buying it. He has
expertise and he's in those worlds. He understands and he's being self-deprecating even with like,
I know that that's my job. That's why I have a show that like it's interesting for people.
They want to watch me yell at people and then it helps sell products. He's not disillusioned about
like totally this. It's just sort of a crass materialist explanation of what TV is. I hosted
clubs for years. My job is to sell drinks not to be funny. You know, like that's the deal. Yeah.
And so Alex can't handle that. He doesn't have enough to go on. And so you transition over to
safer territory, which is like Kissinger. Kissinger's there. I saw Kissinger's interview on CNN
and he didn't say that. Again, we're in this situation where I can point that out and Alex
can say like, oh, it must have been on another channel and we're back where we started. Sure.
It doesn't really matter though, because this was just something Alex threw out to change
of the subject. Right. Alex realized he was losing this government controls the media stuff.
And you know, whoever, whatever. Yeah. Alex really isn't used to his quote unquote experts
using their expertise to combat him. Right. He doesn't appreciate. He's like, no, no, no,
you're not supposed to actually be an expert. I'm just calling you one. Okay. You're the host
of fear factor. I've been in these rooms. I've met these executives. No, that doesn't sound
true. Negotiated for you. You're just the host of fear factor. Okay. So this is fun.
Joe, Joe, if Hollywood isn't about manipulating perception,
why are they so outrageously against the Second Amendment and peddling misinformation?
What do you mean? Good question. Come on. All of them. They're just up there,
just out of control, 24 seven, turning your guys not about misinformation. Hollywood is about
tricking you. Hollywood is about misinformation when it comes to relationships,
like how rosy and perfect they are for father knows best people. You know why? Because when
people come home from a day that sucks, when they work a hard day's work and they come home and
they have a beer, they don't want to see depressing things. Fair enough. Yep. All right. Yeah. I love
that moment for Alex though. I love that when he's like the media's against the Second Amendment.
What are you talking about? He has no examples. He's just like, you know how they're all day
out of control. Out of control with their Second Amendment hatred. Not a single example. Every time
I look at the TV, I feel like they don't like the Second Amendment. Right. Whenever there isn't
two guns on screen. Yeah. I was watching, I was watching married with children and they solved
a problem in less than 30 minutes via some sort of communication as opposed to a gunshot. Boo.
So Alex is losing everything here. Yeah. Joe is dancing circles around him with
minimal effort. I mean, boy, really don't have to work that hard. No. And so Alex really needs to
basically discredit Joe by giving him ulterior motive. Sure. All I can say to all of this is,
I know you're a smart guy. I know you know about the New World Order. You're doing very well in
this whole system. And I'm not even saying, you know, your show is bad compared to all the rest.
And if your First Amendment right, people's right to watch it or turn it off. So I don't get into
all of that stuff, but you don't have to defend this system that is trying to trample our rights.
So there is this idea that he's within the system. I understand that you have to say what you have
to say to keep your corporate overlords happy. Yeah. You're within this globalist Hollywood
system. And so that's why you're not agreeing with me 100%. Yeah. That's really not fair. Yeah.
Why even have the conversation then? Like, what's the point? Right. What makes the road runner and
Wiley Coyote's relationship interesting is that the road runner is very, very fast. So the Coyotes
attempts to attack it are scaled correctly, you know, and that's their overcomplication is what
makes the problem. Right. You wouldn't watch the show if it was the Wiley Coyote versus a turtle.
And the turtle wasn't moving very fast. And Wiley Coyote still blew himself up. You know,
you could just step over and grab the turtle. You could. Yeah. You don't have to paint a whole
extra road on a brick. You know, you can just. I would say that that dynamic is part of why this
isn't electric. Yeah. I would agree. Radio. But it's fun for me in a way that a lot of these
interviews aren't. And it's because you see Joe being his highest self. Yeah. Sort of. Yeah. I
don't actually know if I can back that up. There may be a better version of him somewhere. But this
is an example of the media. This is a pretty good version of him. Yeah. For the people. If you're
going to represent yourself on Infowars, this is the best way to do it. And if you're going to
represent yourself as Joe Rogan, yeah, this is a good representation of him compared to every
other version of him we've seen. Right. He's very, very Joe Rogan-y as opposed to more Alex Jonesy.
Yes. Yeah. So Alex just is going to just do whatever he can. This is nonsense. Well, what
we're walking a very slippery slope with trying to protect ourselves and, you know, trying to make
sure that the government doesn't take personal freedoms away from us while we're protecting
ourselves. Joe, I agree with you, but let's take Santa Clarita. Two eggs to go. Four East
German APCs go in. I have the photos and the video from the LA Times. Sorry, what? They're
firing M60 machine guns in the wrong houses. I mean, that is not America. Guys in black uniforms
and black APCs. Germany. That's what you just said, right? Do what, sir? You said it was Germany?
They were driving East German APCs. And this happened in Germany? No, this happened just
north of Los LA. You heard about it? No, I didn't. The guys' house burning down, the APCs, the shootout?
Well, I mean, what are you saying? You're saying that this guy has military equipment?
No, the police. It's LA Times. Four black East German APCs that used to oppress the East German
people were bought a few years ago. They're in the neighborhood shooting up the wrong houses,
going nuts. It turns out they shot their own officers and then tried to frame this guy.
They killed with it. That's in the LA Times. Well, I didn't read that. I don't know what that story
is about, but what does that have to do with, you know, the government taking away our liberties
by blowing up gigantic buildings and killing possibly tens of thousands? Well, come back
to Austin, Joe, and when you do, I'll take you downtown and show you lines of black APCs and
face scanning cameras. I'm not totally sure what this has to do with the larger topic or what that
response even was, but it makes sense that Joe is confused by Alex throwing this new story into
the mix because it's a total non sequitur. Alex is also lying about that situation that occurred
in Santa Clarita. Police arrived to search the home of a guy named James Allen Beck, who was a
felon that the authorities had learned from neighbors who were worried that he was stockpiling
weapons and ammo, which he can't do. And there were some reports that he was going around impersonating
a police officer. That's not good. From the LA Times, quote, deputy Haggop, also nicknamed Jake
Kurdesian, was among scores of officers who flocked to the scene. He was shot and killed
within minutes of arriving. Alex says to Joe that the police shot their own officer and then
framed Beck, which was reported in the LA Times, which is an absolute lie. And it's a necessary
lie because if Alex discussed the situation in its real form, it wouldn't be so black and white
and would become much harder for Alex to use for his talking points. Beck opened fire on the
officers and killed this sheriff's deputy, which led to the police returning fire. They were a bit
unprepared for this turn of events and shot a number of rounds into the adjoining house,
though no one was killed. The people whose house was shot into they sued and they were awarded
$200,000 eventually. So I get some restitution through it all. Beck continued shooting probably
thousands of rounds. He had a huge cache of weapons. He was even firing at news helicopters,
and it was just a huge mess. Jesus. He shot at people for hours until the police tried to shoot
a tear gas canister in, which may have started a fire. While the fire burned, Beck continued
firing his guns until the roof collapsed. Wow. Well, there's criticism that can be made of the
police and ATF response. Absolutely. They prepared this. Not great. There probably is some lessons
to be learned in the post-action. Right. For sure. But because of this baseline similarity that the
situation has to Waco, conspiracy theorists latched onto the event as being the same thing all over
again. Sure. Sure. It got a fair amount of news coverage, but really wasn't that big of a story
outside of this extreme right wing media circle like Alex. And it's mostly just because they
used it as a reminiscent thing of Waco. And that's why Joe has no idea what he's talking about.
Right. But to Alex, this seems like a giant huge story. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can see that
discrepancy. Yeah, I got you. So I've said some positive things about Joe, but it's time for that
to go away. Not really. I disagree. I just don't necessarily agree with his perspective. Joe, here's
the question. And really, don't dodge it. If we find out, Iraq did it, what should we do? We should
bomb them. I'm not going to dodge that at all. If we find out absolutely positively without a doubt
that someone's guilty, they should die. That's absolutely a fact. I'm all for ridding the world
and the United States, for that matter, of people who are evil. You know? I mean, if we can prove
beyond a reasonable doubt that someone is guilty, I'm all for the death penalty. It's whether or not
we can do that. That is the real question. And that, I think, is just as much if it's not more
of a threat to the liberty of the people of this country. Joe, do you want to stay with us and
take some calls? Sure. Absolutely. What? So I think that, I mean, obviously I get where he's
coming from. He also earlier decried people being kind of warmongery. Sure. And I think that,
I don't know, I understand the feeling that there is a need for war based on a terrorist attack
like that. Sure. Sure. I understand that, particularly that evening, I get it. I don't
know if I agree fully because I don't think it solves the problem and you end up killing a ton
more people, civilians. So no, now if I understand correctly, it's not, it doesn't seem productive.
Are you trying to say that so far up to this point war does not seem to have solved problems?
I would say war, what is it good for? You know what? I'm going to go even one step further.
Dan, might you even be saying that perhaps it is war itself that led Osama bin Laden to
committing these terrorist acts in the first place, thereby meaning that if we were to start
another war, only guaranteeing that yet another Osama bin Laden in several years will come by
and blow up something else. Are you saying that maybe this is a cycle that happens over and over
and over again that people stupid like Joe Rogan and their motherfuckers say? Good God.
Is it something like that? Yeah.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again.
So this is unfortunate for Joe. He wasn't listening to Alex's show earlier because he
critiques something that Alex did earlier. Oh no. Oh boy.
Like the NSA didn't know they were doing this and like they could take over these planes with
box cutters. I'm sure you've heard that, Joe, that people called in from cell phones on board.
They were hijacking it with box cutters. I can hear that. And my comment to that,
to a friend of mine was, you know, people were like, well, why didn't they fight? Well, they might
have been told that all that was going to happen was good. They were going to bring the plane back
to Kennedy Airport. They were going to make a political statement. I mean, we don't know what
they told these pastors. They totally lulled them into a false sense of security. They're not going
to tell them, Hey, we're going to crash in the World Trade Center and kill you. Yeah. But Joe,
I mean, I'm just saying that a lot of people are actually questioning the courage of the people on
board. And until you're in a situation like that, I don't think you could judge. Yeah. You know who
you know who was doing it? The guy you're talking to. Yeah. A lot of, I appreciate that all of Joe
Rogan's criticisms about the media in response to Alex saying that the media is doing something
are criticisms of Alex's media. And Alex is essentially doing far more extreme versions
of it than Joe's probably seeing other places. Yeah, totally. Also, I mean, it bears mentioning
like Alex is definitely advocating for bombing Iraq more than or at least that's a conversation
that's come up a lot more here than it has at this point on other terms. Anywhere else.
Nobody else is even talking about Iraq yet. Well, I mean that one secretary of state
could have included Iraq in his, we've got to kill somebody. We've got to blow somebody up. Yeah.
But nobody, I don't think anybody was on the nation's tip. Like let's throw this on a fucking
government. It's weird. It's weird to have Alex eventually become this guy who's like anti-Iraq
war and all that becomes such a piece of his identity. And he's really very much like maybe
that's the option. Let's nuke Iraq. It does appear that the only thing stopping Alex from
being the cause of all the things he complains about is that he wasn't there to make the decision.
Like if he was there to, he can't complain about the Iraq war. If he was there to make the decision,
he would have bombed him. He can't complain about this. If he was there to make the decision,
he would have done that. He can't complain about the power grid because if he was there, he would
have done, you know? Well, I think he would have bombed Iraq if he could prove that they did it,
but proving things means nothing to Alex. There we go. So I think if he were in a position of
power, he could very easily prove whatever he wanted to prove if it was expedient towards
whatever he wanted to do. Man, that is almost word for word what someone did. Yeah. So Joe,
to his credit, doesn't want to see the UN take over the US courts, which is great.
Sure. I think I do. Ours are bad. Also to Joe's credit. Yeah. He doesn't seem to like the Constitution
much. They're going to take whoever it is. Osama bin Laden or whoever it is, they're going to put
them under the international criminal court and all the people in the United States of America
are going to say, Oh, isn't this wonderful? Now I've got a couple other ones. Meanwhile, Joe,
the criminal court has not allowed juries. You can't face your accuser. Double Jeopardy
is reinstalled. They can hold you for 30 years without a trial. Do you support the UN taking
control of our court system? Well, of course I don't. Well, I don't support, you know, any,
look, I don't support the Constitution as it stands right now. I think the Constitution should
reflect the will of the people. And because it's a piece of paper that was printed a long time ago,
I think there's certain things that our forefathers wanted to put in the Constitution that they
didn't. Like they wanted to put a 2% tax feeling that it'll be 2% would be the highest tax you
have to pay, but they didn't put it in there because they could never conceive of it getting that high.
There's a lot of things that are in our Constitution. What our Constitution reflects is
it should reflect the will of the people. Well, you could have mobocracy. We need a rule of law
in a republic. That tax thing isn't what I would have gone with as an example, but the point stands.
Yeah. I mean, you could have gone with slaves. Sure. There's a, yeah, there's a,
there's a recognition that the Constitution is an imperfect document. Right. And that's
verboten to Alex. That is very, very weird to hear someone say, like, you know what,
fuck the Constitution on Alex's show. Yeah, that is odd. Yeah. So this next clip, Jordan. Yeah.
It's a bit long. It's about three minutes. Oh, no. This is you cut a three minute clip.
That's not good. Well, it's cause there's an argument. Ah, they get into a fight. Okay. And
now I'm interested. I gotta say I admire Rogan for being able to have this conversation. I do
not admire him for doing it on 9 11. I really am struggling again with this. Okay. I'm fine. I'm,
I'm just, I'm removing the fact that it's 9 11 on the day from my, you should try. I can't engage
with this as with the understanding. It's hard to get through it otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. We're
having a spirited debate or not. And then Joe is not depending on the new world order.
He just simply doesn't think things are as bad as we're covering probably because he's not here
every day. Joe in the trenches covering the documents. Alex, this is my take on you. And I,
you know, you're my friend and I love you and everything, but this is my take on you. You do
a lot of this. You do yourself a disservice by saying that you're absolutely positive about
things that I don't think you are. I think by saying that, you know, the answer to everything,
you make the whole notion ridiculous. The whole notion that you're this guy that
uncovers all these conspiracies, you have the exact answer to everything is pretty ludicrous.
Now, Joe, I think you are aggressive. I'm going to cover you this information. I absolutely agree
that there's a lot of disinformation by our own government, by the media, by all sorts of things,
but I don't think you know the answer to all of it. Joe, I know this. And that's where you
I know this ability with a lot of intelligent people. Joe, I know this just being aggressive.
That's the only place is that these are the, some of the private arguments we've had.
Joe, I'm here to tell you right now that Ritalin is clogs more neuro receptors than cocaine.
70% of cocaine does 50. It's very damaging. It shrinks brains. It expands hearts. It retards
the growth in children. What are you talking about? Hold on. Let me finish and tell you where I'm
going with this. And I've had the neuroscientist, the brain surgeon on to cover it. I've read about
how they're putting cancer viruses in the vaccines across the board. Why cancer is exploding. I've
gone right down the line on all of this. We evidence it at nauseam. So to just sit there and say,
I claim I have all the answers. I know gun controls wrong. I know SWAT teams are right in
innocent people's houses. I know the military's hitting the whole neighborhoods here in Texas
searching for drugs that the government ships in. And that's been proven even in Esquire magazine.
I've interviewed former CIA officers that shipped it in. I don't make any of this stuff. Joe,
I have the newscast of Oklahoma City with them bringing the unexploded bombs out of the building.
I've had the former head of Air Force weapons development on this show to say that building
was blown out, not in. When I'm not making this stuff up, Joe, you just can't admit how far we've
slipped down into it. So you're telling me I'm doing a disservice and it's not true.
I think you're doing yourself a disservice. And I think a lot of things that you do are fantastic.
I think you've got a huge heart. I think you're a really, really confident guy and you've got a
lot of balls. And that's what this country needs is someone who will stand in front of
Jan Arrito and question her on what happened at Waco. I agree with you on that. I agree with you
on when you have proof, the way you have conviction, the way you have courage and you collapse it.
I think everybody admires that. I think it's a fantastic thing that you do. When I think you
lose me is when I think you use something that's based on speculation. You do use something that
may or may not be true. You state it as an absolute and a fact when any intelligent person listening
knows there's got to be some possibilities. So look, this is a pretty scathing critique of Alex,
but I also think it's too generous. It's way too generous. Yeah, that like I think you take
things that are speculative and you act like you're convinced of them. Yeah, that is a pretty
deep cut because I think it's very accurate. Yeah, it's 100%. But the problem that I have
is when you limit it to speculation and things that you aren't fully convinced of because he's
straight up lying and making things up. Yeah, I was going to say there's that Joe Joe is doing
him a disservice because he's not acknowledging Alex's greatest talent, which is lying on command
about anything anytime for no reason. Right. Yeah, or whatever reason. Rattling off a bunch of topics
that are essentially all over the place. Totally. So like he just throws all these things on the
ground and you're supposed to pick them up and organize them and debunk the things you saying.
Do this for me. In order to substantiate your claim that he is convinced of things that aren't
fully proven or whatever, you now have to debunk all of these 100 things that he's thrown out.
And it's like, all right, man, it's childish. It's a way of arguing that is like,
it is the way that people who don't want to do homework argue in a group project where you're
the person who does all the work, you know? It's like everything that they do is just saying a
bunch of shit at you and you're like, God damn it. Now I have to learn about this. Now I have to
learn about this. Now I have to learn about this. Now I have to learn about this, man. Fuck you.
And he's not learning anything. No, it's all on you. It is. So Alex brings up like some of the
books and what have you and Rogan isn't really convinced of like a lot of the like book sources
because like share books sometimes are dumb. Yeah, I've read more than one. He brings up one dumb
book. Do you hold a pale white horse? Have you ever read that? Yeah, a lot of misinformation.
There's a lot of crazy stuff in there about the government having alien bases on the dark side
of the moon. Joe, you've fallen for something here. We don't talk about that. We talk about,
okay, let me give you something. What I'm just saying is there's a lot of books like that. Joe,
what would you do if you found out the UN took over 70% of our land mass? October 18th of 2000?
They took over 70% of our United States land mass? Yes. In what way? How did they take over?
You can read the actual treaty at infowars.com or listen to the interview
with Congressman Ron Paul. They signed over the country to the UN, sir.
Well, you know, again, I'd have to read that to comment on it. Well, I got a Washington Post
where it was three weeks ago under the UN gavel admitting they claim they run our courts and
are going to get rid of juries and the National Bar Association in Chicago, Chicago Tribune agrees.
Okay. That's why it's so unfair to have a conversation like this with somebody on a radio
show because Alex is not at all talking to you at all, not even a little bit. What you have to
say is meaningless. What he's doing is posturing for the listeners. He's posturing and then at the,
he's being a very unsuccessful if you're paying attention. And then secondly,
he's also just trying to throw you off. Absolutely. He's throwing out these things that are all over
the place that you can't possibly have any idea what he's talking about in order to fluster you.
So you look less grounded in the criticisms that you're making. Yeah. If you're a rogan,
it's basically like you're having an argument with someone you're talking about. I don't know
interest rates. Sure. And then they're, I don't know whether they're like,
did you know that mice are actually little people? Yeah. I know that this is in the
Baltimore sun. I can prove it. Right. What? Sure. Okay. Did you know the UN has 70% of America's
lab? Fine. No. Yes. Did you know that they're getting rid of juries? Sure. Fine. No. Yes.
I have only no response to this. Yeah. So Joe tries to just reprimand Alex for like being an
asshole. Well, his inability to accept that there are things he doesn't know. He does have that.
And I think that's fair. And then Alex does what you'd expect. He acts like a little baby. Yeah,
we didn't punish these terrorists before. And that's why this is happening regardless.
Now this is saying that it's definitely these quote unquote, these terrorists,
we don't know who it is. Just like in Oklahoma City, we didn't know who it is.
Oh, we all heard it was McVeigh acting alone. The feds won't release it. Well,
we didn't hear that initial surveillance cameras. The initial reports that we're looking for,
Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. That was the initial reports out of Oklahoma City.
No, I know. I remember. Okay. But that's what I'm talking about right now. We're talking about
something that happened today. And you're already saying these terrorists, we should have done something
to these terrorists. You even said yourself that it could have been European trying to screw up
our stock market. We don't know who this is. Yeah, but when I said that you laughed when a lot of
the evidence is important to admit that we don't know yet, when a lot of the evidence what you
don't do. I have a problem with you, my friend. A lot of it aims that direction. You don't know.
But you don't. I guess I don't know anything. I'll just sit here. I'll just sit here as the
black team has gone over me saying these terrorists, but we don't know who these terrorists are. Well,
let's just go ahead and give up our rights and then let's just go ahead and give up our rights
and let the UN on everything. I'm not saying that. Fuck you. Jesus Christ, man. What a,
what a. I'm not saying that. Oh, God. What? Just the worst. The worst person to talk to.
Just the worst. Because Joe's making a fine point and bringing back up the like,
why are you saying that this terrorist attack is the result of us not punishing other terrorists
in the past when, first of all, you think all of those past terrorist events are fake?
Exactly. And you think the EU did this to destabilize things to roll out the euro?
Correct. What the fuck are you talking about? You don't know it. You don't know things and that's
okay. Yeah, this happened today. Yeah. Well, let's give up our freedom. Oh, fine. I'll quit.
I'll go home. I'm going to take my ball and I'm going to never love America again. How about that?
What I want to do is never come back here again. Flash forward. Yes. That's great.
What a prick. God, if only Joe had stayed mad at Alex for every day since 9 11.
That was, oh, God damn it. Sneaky snake. God damn it. That was Joe's 9 11. The honestly
changed him forever. There was an opportunity. So Joe leaves. They don't leave on terrible
terms. You know, they're still friends, but there's definitely a misunderstanding between
them. There's definitely a tension. Did not see eye to eye. I would normally say it's an emotional
day, but apparently for neither of these guys is it is. I think Rogan was given definitely a good
bit of recognition of the loss and the tragedy. I may not have cut those clips as much. I think
it's more interesting that they had this fight. Yeah, way more interesting on 9 11. This is 9
11. I just don't understand every time I come back to the thought like, oh, Dan, you know what we
do and have done for a long time. Surprise Joe Rogan and Alex Jones got into a fight on 9 11.
Surprise. You know how we've done this thing for five years and the only thing that I could say
that would really make you go, that's probably not ever possible is Joe Rogan and Alex Jones
got into a fight on 9 11. I think that's one of one of the wonders of this, uh, this space. Yeah,
entertainment space, whatever it is that Alex is doing is like, you can do 700 episodes of this
and still be like, what the fuck just happened? Yes. No, no, I want to scream. So predictably, Joe
leaves. Yes. And now Alex has to take control of the narrative talk. Yeah, totally. You know,
I sit there and I watch this and it's the same thing with our public. There are a lot of good
people out there, a lot of good police, a lot of good military, a lot of good, uh, you know,
number one TV host, but they just can't face the system in it. You know, going out to dinner with
Joe and stuff, he'll sit there and I know Joe's going to hear this tape later or listening live
right now. I know Kevin's going to post on his website and Joe just kept saying at dinner and
stuff, man, I know it's an act. I know you don't totally believe all this. Come on. Tell me it's
an act. I'm like, no, this stuff's real, Joe. Here's the evidence. Here's the evidence. And
he just, he agrees with a lot of it, but he just can't go all the way. And that's the problem.
Yeah, man. He just can't face it. It's just not man enough to, uh, to face things the way that I do.
What could you possibly get out of a relationship with a person like Alex that justifies
everything that he's done? I mean, look, I used to, back when I was in college and such, I used
to hang out with some people that maybe, eh, they were a little bit annoying, but they usually had
weed. Um, maybe that's what's going on. Sure. But you didn't have the weed that they came to you for.
And then you were like, you're my best friend. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, what, like, I can't
imagine that Alex is like in like interpersonally so generous and caring and like gives you the
perfect birthday gift every year. I know. Like I can't imagine what it is that would make somebody
I mean, maybe put up with this. Maybe if Alex had like pulled him from the bottom of a lake
while he was drowning, I would say you get a couple of years out of that. Yeah. I've been to,
I've checked with, I've checked with the actuaries. Six and a half years. Six and a half years.
Now that seems fine. Six and a half seems right. 25 years of friendship when this happened on 9
11. I think, I think that Joe probably stopped listening after he got off. Didn't hear Alex
talking shit. That's the basis of their friendship is that Joe cannot listen to Alex blissfully
unaware of anything that Alex does for a living. Must, must be. That has to be almost like maybe
there's a contract that they signed. The moment Alex started doing the show, don't ever listen.
Don't ask me any questions about it. And we're good Joe. Our relationship is successful because
you have just created an image of what I do in your head based on what you want it to be. And
I don't penetrate that reality. Can you imagine if Alex had come back with Joe, you do yourself a
disservice by creating fantastic versions of the people around you, giving them a higher sense of
value towards yourself and generosity from their spirit. Yeah. Yeah. Who's doing a disservice now?
Asshole. Hey Joe, 20 years from now, I'm going to threaten to gut you like a pig and explode,
expose some private details about your children. That's right. And then you're going to have me
back on your show. Yep. Yep. Yep. We're going to have a psychically abusive friendship. I mean,
for 25 years, that's just crazy. Very sad. That's crazy. So Alex takes more calls and one of them
is a bit confused about that Rogan appearance. Sure. Oh, is he would be? Look, all I know is Joe
Rogan called Kevin Moot, my buddy, and called me and said, I want to come on and this guy's
number one host on television. And he tells me agrees. A lot of the stuff I say were friends.
You know, Joe listens to the show. He just can't believe all this stuff. He believes a lot of it.
The Second Amendment's good. The feds killed, you know, Kennedy, stuff like that. He just can't go
all the way. He doesn't want to admit that his picturesque Hollywood life is in jeopardy. He's
a coward. He doesn't want to give up the trappings of fame and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
He wants to hold on to that. What? I mean, does it does in Joe's mind, does he think that Alex
is criticizing him in the same way that Joe is criticizing Alex when he says you're
relying on conjecture and bullshit? Like, does Joe take that as like a legitimate criticism?
Alex is because that's a fucking dirty insult. It's horrible. It's a personal attack on you.
Essentially, it's saying your character is such that you value material and selfish pleasures
over saving the world. It is you. It is him saying, look, Joe's a nice guy, but he's a rich prick.
Like, that's what you're saying. Yeah. How is that not an offensive thing to hear?
He knows a lot of stuff and he probably has a suspicion that what I'm saying is totally true,
but I mean, even then you're in your in your conspiracies. The top executives are the people
doing the thing and we know that Joe knows those people. Sure. Now you are saying that he is too
much of a coward to stand up to them. Why aren't you just taking the step and going, he's part of
the system. Listen, because he'll talk because he'll keep talking to Alex. And for 20 years,
he'll be right there almost ready, but so attached to this successful life that he can't go full
full hog over the over the board and say that the devil is running things and we have to have a
holy war. So we have one last clip here and I think this is a good example of Alex doing exactly
what Joe criticized him for. We have fought and died. So we have liberty. So we have an open
society. Now we're not about to give it all up because somebody punched us in the nose. We're
going to strike back whoever did it. And Lewis, I think we know who did it, don't we? The new world
order. Oh my God. I think we know who did it. 98% certain it's the new world order. EU, Iran,
Iraq, the United States government, Osama, whomever, whatever, Germany. Yeah. 100%
certain it's the new world order. Yeah. Ending the show, proving Joe correct. Wild.
So what a day. Wow. What a fucking I don't think there's any way you could necessarily expect a
whole lot of this. I think that content wise, the morning show was wacky and all over the place
and then this was something. I just, you know,
you can take the day off. Can't. You can take the evening off. You already did a show. You can do
it. Yeah. You can just do, you can just say no. Yep. You know, you have a choice. There's no need
for you to do another three hours if an hour plus of it is going to be arguing with Joe Rogan.
This is disrespectful. I don't even know. I don't know that this exists is disrespectful. It really
happened boggles my mind. If they had made this like 10 years later as a, Hey, what would it be
like if we did a show on 9 11? I would say that is a disrespectful thing to do for them to do it on.
Oh man. Go Boston. Go New York. That's what it's Jesus Christ. Yeah. I mean the mind reels and
I don't really have anything to say. I think these episodes speak for themselves. I don't know if
it's possible to sum up. I think that like as much criticism as you may give the media, which is
deserved. A lot of it is very deserved for sure. Nobody did a worse job than Alex. Alex completely
whiffed on every count with his 9 11 coverage. Yeah, they sucked. It was disrespectful. It was
disgusting. The way he focused largely on the grotesque images of burning bodies and people
jumping and himself and the way he essentially called the people who died in the planes cowards
for not taking back over the plane. Jesus. Just abhorrent behavior all around the value. I think
of watching this and seeing this is that you do see a very concrete example of the beginning of
that narrative. The bombs in the building narrative and you see what it's based on. You see the friend
who becomes a world class structural engineer. Right. You see the Chicago Tribune article that's
being lied about. You see this apocryphal local news story that he heard a local radio host talking
about. Right. And you see these pieces, these disparate pieces coming together that you know
five years later are going to be presented not as what they are, but as like the world's top
structural engineer came on and gave me an like a schematic a breakdown with all of the equations
about how this was impossible. They the chemical testing, you know, all of this and yeah, it's
going. It's like this is what Alex's conspiracies are at core. This is what they are. They're
nothing. It was all there in the beginning. Yeah. There wasn't anything there to begin with.
It's a whim. Yeah. And the most real thing is probably Alex and Joe fighting. I mean, yeah.
Yeah. That's the only thing that it felt like Alex actually gave a genuine shit about being
threatened. Yeah. Being threatened with the reality of not knowing things. Yeah. With
not being the person who's who's the smartest person on the on the show. Yeah. Wow. So Jordan.
Yes, Dan. This has been a ride. It has been a fucking roller coaster, my friend. But we'll be
back indeed. We will for another episode at a later date. But until then we have we do it's
knowledge fight.com. We're also on Twitter. We are on Twitter that knowledge underscore
fight and I go to bed Jordan. Yep, we'll be back. But until then I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZX Clark,
I'm Dairy Brownfield. That's it. Dairy Brownfield. 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.
