I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys.
Shang, we are the bad guys. Knowledge.
And your knowledge fight.
I need money.
Andy and Kansas.
Andy and Kansas.
Andy and Kansas. Andy and Kansas, Andi and Kansas, Andi and Kansas,
Andi and Kansas, Andi and Kansas,
It's time to pray.
Andi and Kansas, you're on the air, thanks for holding.
Hello, Alex, I'm a Christian,
and I'm a huge fan, I love your work.
Knowledge Fight.
No, no, no, no, no, knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan.
I'm Jordan.
We're a couple dudes, sit around,
worship at the altar of Celine,
and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. Oh, indeed'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We're couple dudes. Sit around, worship at the altar of Selene and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
Jordan.
Dan.
Jordan.
Quick question for you.
What's your brand spot today, buddy?
My brand spot today, Jordan, is I have heard
the voice of the people.
You've heard the voice of the people, all the people?
I have listened to feedback and criticism.
Sure.
And I have reformatted my coverage of Alex's book, The Great Reset,
into a PDF that is downloadable. Right. Because I look, I was a little defensive about it.
The immediate aftermath, because it was a huge undertaking. Totally. But the putting
it on subsequent pages on a website was a very bad idea for how to how to lay things out It can be and so I have corrected that and is now in a PDF if you go to Alex Jones as an idiot calm
It is all there and you can download it. I believe you can load it into an e-reader even
Yeah, you know whatever you can do with PDFs. Oh, you can do it all
So yeah, that's there as it's a relief because that was hanging over my head a little bit of like I want the information to be accessible to people and this is obviously not the way
to have done it. Sure. But yeah, I think in the future, I figured out how to do it.
Right, right. Which is to say I figured out how to make a PDF, which is great at almost
40.
I think it's interesting that you've been putting Excel
on your resume for all these years and I think I probably have. I think so too. Yeah. So
many things I put on my on my resume unchallenged never came up until you need them. Right.
Man, that would really be useful right now. That thing I said I could do all these years. Turns out it can't. Turns out.
Yep. So it's your bright spot.
My bright spot is another year wrapped up games done quick marathon.
There's a lot of fun.
I had planned a joke where my bright spot was going to be the awesome games done
quick because I knew it was going to be yours.
I was going to steal it from you. You chunked it.
You chunked it.
You you had to get too excited about that thing that you created that I think is really great.
Well, alright. So what was your high point of the games?
There were some great runs. There was a dog.
A dog did a run.
A dog played a game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got trained as dog.
I don't know. It was a game about sleepwalking. It was like the dog
But anyways the dog press the button and then it unpress the button. It's a set right you get it
It's not really much of a game. My favorite though was a
somebody had hooked up a drum set drum kit MIDI style to Super Mario
64 okay, so they were playing
to Super Mario 64. Okay. So they were playing the game through the drums. How do you do directions? So that was the idea. So there was north, south, you know, that kind of thing on all of the
toms. So then you keep moving forward. You have to roll to keep moving forward. And then he had a
thing he could hit. So it contained momentum. Then he had a jump button.
He had a whole thing.
In order to spin Bowser around,
he had to do full spin rolls.
It was fantastic.
It was great.
Did he beat the game?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He beat the game.
That would be exhausting.
It took like a half hour.
It was ridiculous.
That's still, like, that's the best cardio.
Yeah, it was amazing.
I watched somebody, I think I had a,
just it was recommended on YouTube sure entirely sure why but
I had a marble game marble madness marble madness. Yeah, I have vague memory of that from like old
Nintendo yeah, maybe maybe not maybe it's just very similar to games that I played on
Right, but I was like I'll check this out. Sure. It's very boring. Yeah. It's just people put like marble physics. It does happen. That can backfire. Yeah. But
hey, the raise the money for charities who gives a shit. Yeah, they raised, they raised 2.5 plus
million dollars. Not too bad. But I think what's cool about that far greater than any of that,
because you know, cancer is a disease and we all die no matter what sure but what we don't have to deal with is people who
deny human rights and one of the constant refrains to the point that you
cannot escape it is that trans rights are human rights sure they always make
sure to fucking go hard on that so okay super cool that's good yep good folk so
Jordan today we have an episode to go over. Yeah, and I decided
Fuck this noise. Good call. I'm going to the past. I genuinely don't I don't need to know the next part of that
Tired of the present go into the past good today. We're gonna be talking about April 2nd through 5th
All right 2004 and that's a Friday and a Monday, so it's not really that much right a huge stretch of a time
But man man. Oh man oh man what what fun I mean comparatively yeah
yeah it's good it's good stuff yeah there's actually some interesting things
to go down on this episode and I'm thrilled to discuss them but until we
get to that oh shit whoa let's say a load of some new walks Jordan that's a great

I just I think I've I've I've I think I think I've sung all the lyrics that I remember
I think you have yeah, I imagine so I gotta find another Murray head song to just like pretend to like or something
You know, I I mean yeah, I think got to is strong
can good. It's possible when you have time I could pretend
maybe I feel like got to suggest the level of urgency that
maybe it doesn't require. Do you think it's a good choice for
me to just insist that I really love that song, the King of
Wishful thinking. Do I think it's a good character choice? Yeah.
Yes.
Well, let me give you two choices.
OK.
King of Wishful Thinking.
Sure.
Or Mandolin Rain.
Listen to the Mandolin Rain.
Or I'll get over you.
I know I will.
I'm going to have to go with Mandolin Rain.
You're wrong.
So Jordan, like I said, today we have an episode.
We're in the past. there'll be some interesting things to
talk about some stupid things but first here is an outer context drop I would
have heard that our son has another son you would have yeah that's probably true
you get there's a part we don't we're not going to listen to it all while Alex
gets really mad at a guy for not giving specifics about how there's another son
that's gonna crash into the earth oh I was I was in I was in my head being like,
all right, secret families. Why is there a conspiracy about Rex having his own secret
family? No, Rex would have been a young in at this point. Too young, too young. Got you.
This is a solar system issue. Hmm. This is a solar system issue. Yep. Gotcha. So we start off here and we dive in,
see what Alex is concerned about on April 2, 2004. Two years ago, I told you that I
saw Governor Ridge, even before Homeland Security got funding in late 2002, on C-SPAN with a
whole bunch of corporate chiefs who are press conference or meeting and
i am
take it
got it in the big stocks here some day i hope to put a clip of it in a video
some and governor riz said to have a job
your i'd card your national i'd card through the driver's license will have
your four levels of security court
you'll have to be federal approved to have a job anywhere
and with the new national sales tax that will bring federal enforcement into
every business
as the overseers
well the washington times reported on this five days ago
and i just learned of it and i
i have the article
so you can do it here and here at two years before you can
just read the mainstream media and find out later
i'd say okay on the list no job for you
that's the headline
and to give you
end up getting on the list how do you do that well
bad credit you go from a green to a yellow
and uh... you have to go
work off the debts to be able to get a job in the government's gonna have to
do that you have to work a billion drab together that's the key for them
environmental and grabbing programs
done grabbing stasi title tell squads it's all but i know it's all but i
know it's all but i know it's all uh... it's all uh... happening
uh...
i mean none of that is happening.
How many colors do you need for a system like this?
You know, you go from green to yellow.
He's imagining the terrorism watch.
Right, right, right.
Color coded index.
But I mean, in a practical sense, how many, if we're setting up this system, how many
colors would we need on the color wheel of
how much debt you have?
Right?
I think it's any, or it's, it would be just black and white.
It'd just be black.
Any debt or none?
Any or none.
That's the difference.
You're in the red or the black?
You got debt, can't get a job.
The Washington Times article that Alex is talking about is actually about the, if you have,
like people who hire things for positions
in like infrastructure critical roles, there is a database that they can check people who
apply for those jobs on to see if they have any flags that come up.
Right.
So that's what they're talking about.
Right.
It's kind of a misrepresentation.
Yeah.
So there's a couple of very important things that happen on this stretch of episodes.
And we're about to be introduced to the first one here.
This is out of WAFF Huntsville,
The Catering Shoals covers three large towns in Alabama.
And a veteran, no criminal record,
was tired of the corruption.
He put a nice little small sign in his yard,
didn't buy pilot any zoning laws
well in the country
and here there's a picture of the sign on info wars dot com we have a link to w
a f f it's got
for documents there
our court system is a joke that's all it said
and i have the judge is ruling here he said this is a direct disrespect
and direct contempt for your divorce somewhere in this one and then he ordered
the county who arrest him immediately.
And he was arrested and put in shackles in a four by six cell and left shackled a form
of torture.
And the gentleman who were going to get on the show said, you know what, I'm going to
stay here forever.
And there was such a public outcry, if it had been California, New York probably wouldn't have been
that the court apologized and released him but this is what's scary
they and their power trip and their compulsive aggressive garbage just that was their instinct
arrest that man!
sure folks that's England pre-Magnacarta.
That's Nazi Germany. That's Russia.
So Alex is playing a little fast and loose with some details on this story.
Sure.
Like he's not naming the person who put up the sign, which makes it more difficult
if you're just listening to this to check up on it. What's the story here?
I got bad vibes.
So, uh, here's what's going on.
Uh-huh.
Your instincts are pretty sharp. Ha ha ha ha know, sometimes you just hear divorce and something.
So this has to do with a fellow named Philip Dean,
who had just gone through a particularly nasty divorce,
in which his ex-wife got custody of their kids.
So it is true that he posted a sign on his yard that said,
quote, our court system is a joke.
But what Alex fails to mention is that there were three other signs.
Right, right, right, right. court system is a joke, but what Alex fails to mention is that there were three other sides
One said quote judge Harrelson said my minor children 13 and 15 need to be with her mother even though she let them smoke pot Take drugs and run wild
It's a lot for a sign. All right, so this is a little bit like three billboards outside ebbing
But uh, you know a little bit different. I don't know movies. Okay fair enough the third said quote this tells my kids
It's okay to do drugs and the last quote we wonder why so many kids are on drugs
All right, okay
The judge found out about these signs and considered them contempt of court and he had a sheriff bring Philip in where he was held
For about 26 hours before appearing for the judge right and being released and he got an apology for I agree
The judge is a whiny little baby and he crammed up his butt.
Absolutely. You're a whiny little baby and you can cram it up your butt. Yeah.
Yeah. This one is a whole big mess because on some very basic aspects,
I agree with the underlying point that Alex is trying to make,
which is that it's wrong that this guy got arrested for putting up a yard sign.
But I just can't sign up for the way that Alex plays games with the
information. Yeah. If you present the way that Alex plays games with the information
Yeah, if you present the image that the guy was just a concerned citizen and put one sign up saying the courts are a joke
Then he was arrested it seems it comically tyrannical
Yeah, yeah, yeah, however if you present the story with all its details like how he was embroiled in a nasty divorce and custody battle
How there were four yard signs one of which directly named the judge?
Yeah, get a slightly different picture.
If you consult the relevant information
and read up on his later unsuccessful attempts
to sue the officers who arrested him,
you come away with the impression
that Philip Dean is kind of an asshole.
He sucks, but that does not mean
that he should have been arrested
for something that's more or less his free speech.
But for Alex, he needs to paint this guy
as like a blameless hero hero who's just sick of the corruption
He might be just like you random info wars
Listeners sick of the corruption to the point where he decided to take action by putting up a single innocent sign
Right, but the state was too threatened by this that they had to illegally crush this descent small as it may have been
It's an oversimplification that I think hurts the audience's ability to engage with the story as it's actually
Is in the real world yeah, you can have figures that you stand by because of principle
But who suck not everyone has to be a blameless hero in order for you to have their back
But I suspect that that nuance is difficult for Alex's brand of narrative to cope with yeah
Yeah, you have to deal with this guy kind of sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why why does he kind of suck?
I mean, I think it's kind of fascinating that level of like
small-town dickery
That Alex just won't
Won't really acknowledges is a serious issue
You know like it has to be it has to be part of the grand conspiracy
But you know it's sometimes that guy's just a dick, you know like I think everybody is so far involved in this story as an asshole
Well, the judge is an asshole the cop. Why are you just doing what a judge tells you to do?
That's asshole shit. Yeah, the guy who put up signs. What are you doing putting up signs?
You're a asshole. Well, like all of this is asshole shit
It's interesting to me too because it is such a small town as shit. Yeah, like anybody driving by there
Be like, oh, I got a bad divorce
Even you hearing basic
details of the story could tell if you.
Oh, divorce.
Like, oh, that guy is divorced.
Yep.
That's rough.
Yeah. Yeah. There is that.
So this will become a major focus of the next couple days of Alex's show.
Of course. Yep.
So there's some other stories about police corruption and this one I thought, it revealed something very interesting. Alex is talking about some
police officers in Miami that got charged and convicted with planting guns on people
that they had shot in order to cover up bad shootings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so here's
how Alex discusses this. Okay, Miami cops found guilty in gun planting conspiracy
Closing a chapter in the city's biggest police corruption scandal in decades
So the Sun Sentinel a federal grand jury federal jury
She's been convicted three Miami police officers Thursday have conspired to cover up questionable shootings by lying about guns planted near suspects bodies
Lieutenant Israel Izzy Gonzalez
Sergeant Jose Pepe, his name, Plantario and Officer Jorge nicknamed termite Garcia showed
no emotion as the jury returned its verdict after days of contentious filmirations and
a dismissed juror who disagreed with the majority said she was told by another juror, go back to Cuba.
So there, you know, I guess, oh well that's my race, I can't convict them.
Wow.
So these specific cops were pieces of shit and they planted evidence to justify things
like a 1997 shooting of an unhoused person who the officer thought had a gun, but it
turned out it was a Walkman.
In order to cover that up they planted a.45 caliber handgun on the guy. Makes sense he could afford it. Yeah, but what I find
more important is Alex's very clear racism at the end of that clip. In the course of
the trial, a member of the jury who would go on to be dismissed didn't agree with the
majority of the jury and was told go back to Cuba. This is quite obviously an instance
of the person saying that being racist towards this dismissed juror.
Right.
All the defendants in the case were Hispanic and you wouldn't say go back to Cuba unless
you thought the person might be from Cuba.
So it stands to reason that the juror was probably Hispanic as well.
It would be insane, yeah.
So she may very well may have just not reached the point of being beyond reasonable doubt
based on the evidence that was presented, but the racist comment that she was subjected to paints her
disagreement as being based in an unwillingness to say any Hispanic person
is guilty of anything. Yeah maybe she's a Blue Lives Matter lady you know. When
Alex reads that someone said this to her he doesn't think wow that's a shitty
thing to say to someone who's clearly a US citizen since they're on a jury.
Nope. Instead he takes on the thinking of the racist harasser
and reports it to his audience that this is the mentality that that woman had
that she could never convict someone of her own race.
It's about time somebody said what we're all thinking.
That is quite simply Alex's racism popping out.
Yep.
He does a good job of not throwing around slurs,
but if you pay attention to the framing around stories that deal with race,
or you notice these little throwaway moments
It's really clear. Yeah, the picture is
Full display. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
If you're if you're playing first-person video games or you can jump into whose point of view is who Alex is always in the point of
View of the person who's like racism's right. Yeah, I think it's a good call. I'm more comfortable playing this character
So Alex goes to calls.
Sure.
There's not, I will say that not a lot happens on the second.
Yeah.
There's the expectation that the guy who put up that sign
is gonna show up.
Yeah.
But he doesn't.
Ah.
That sucks.
There's a little bit of treading water
that goes on on the second.
And so it leads to Alex taking some
not very great phone calls.
Heather in Colorado. Welcome to the airwaves. Yeah, hi Alex Jones.
Yeah, I've been trying to get your documentaries and on DVD
and I've been mailed to defective ones. And I've been trying to
call your customer service. Well, you've certainly heard
everybody else that that I want to go back. I want to go back
found there's about to take a back. I don't know. There's
hundreds of different types of DVD
players and in some of them they don't work.
Like I go to Blockbuster Video and I'd say one out of 20 DVDs like it doesn't work on
my Sony player.
You say you've been sent them repeatedly so we are responding and sending it to you.
Unfortunately, I can't handle customer service here but we will send you a VHS or we'll refund
your money
if your DVD isn't working. Which would you like?
I guess I'd rather just take the VHS because the DVD isn't working.
Okay, well you say you had a problem once and we sent you another one.
Yeah.
So what I'm going to ask you to do, this is a byproduct of not screening calls and it's
fine but I just can't do it on air on a radio show. Is it fine? We sent you another one and that's good of us because
that's good of you to get it. Is it good? But now your DVD player doesn't read a DVD
9. It does. It's almost three hours long. Some DVDs can't read it. We will send you
a VHS. We put you on hold and get your number and I'll handle customer service during the
break. This is quaint. Oh God
I like Alex's ability to deal with that. Sure, you know, like it's it's an inconvenience This is not what the show is for no not supposed to be able to not blow up on her
Which is pretty nice. It is pretty unusual for him based on who we know him to be in the present. Yeah
Yeah, that's is just a different time back then. Yeah. You know,
it was a different time. I do love the first of all the the mysteriousness of DVD players
like this is the first Fast and Furious movie. Is there an exotic commodity? It is. It is
exciting. Do you want a VHS is not something I expected to hear today. But then I also
love the repeated instance on getting her to acknowledge that we did
send you another one. We did good at this. We are. Our customer service is pretty great.
We sent you two DVDs that cost us $4 to burn. So this will be the first of two frustrating
phone calls that Alex gets. But this one, this next call is actually on topic barney and maryland go ahead
to the uh... man arrested for a record of sign
contempt the court may apply in the courtroom
but the first amendment applies everywhere else was involved in the
i think it also applies to our courts are a joke
and the judge thinks that he
it you know everywhere
uh... in the county is god you can you got a look at this book
we'll be impeached for valley supreme law of the land of first amendment i
agree to my body
so the judge in this case actions were reviewed and he was advised to be more
careful in the future but face no formal punishment at fuck that lawsuits
filed by philip of all failed on the merits uh... in this Also, you can tell by this conversation that these guys are having that they either don't
know the fact of the case or they're just lying about it. Yeah. Alex is saying that he had nothing
to do with this judge's court when in fact the judge had presided over his custody hearings and
the judge's name was on Philip's one of his signs. Yeah. Yeah. Why would Alex want to obscure that
information? Is it possible that he, he doesn't know?
Has he not read that deeply into paragraph three
of any story about this?
I think maybe that's the stuff you, you leave off.
I think it might be.
I think, I think because then the narrative, here's why.
It's not because it changes the hero or the villain here.
It's because if you're listening from the point of view
of an Alex Jones listener in circa early thousands, right? Then your point of view changes not from, Oh, this is
government overreach to this judge is a whiny loser. He should have challenged that man to
a fight. Fisticuffs would have solved these problems. You know what I'm saying? Put my
name on a billboard. We fight. The name comes off or it stays on and then we know you know
you're in trouble when a judge takes off his robe exactly judge walks up to you
if you if you can't do that then you fucking eat it because you get to wear
the robe I guess I'm not sure exactly if that's why you would exactly why but
that could be one of the responsibilities there
So Alex gets another color and if you think VHS is our quaint. Oh boy
Let's talk to Bill in Oregon bill. You're on the air. Go ahead
Alex first of all, I just want to say you're a damn good man. I appreciate you being here
This is just do me. We have a lot of homes to go to, go ahead.
Yeah, Alex's cold is a percent down.
Shut the fuck up.
It's ridiculous. Every time I hear that I'm like, what?
What are we doing? What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Smash cut to the present day where Alex is screaming about demons pissing in your face.
I am getting very furious with time. I don't like it. It passes and things change and I don't always like the difference between
the two. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you hope that time is largely a progression of growth
and a progression as opposed to a deterioration. Sure. And that's why it's frustrating because
we were watching a deterioration of a person. Right. We're going back to a time when he was
more capable.
Yeah.
And, I mean, look, I think it's silly to scold people for saying damn on air or something
like that.
But at least it's in line with his puritanicalness.
Yeah.
He doesn't live up to it himself.
No, no, no.
Do as I say, not as I do, my friend.
Look, if you have collars that you're like presiding over, you're kind of like a judge
who can arrest someone for putting up a billboard.
Wow.
You just arbitrarily scold them for saying damn on the show
I mean you could call it policing if you will
It's uh yeah yeah
So uh Alex talks a little bit more about this Alabama billboard situation
Sure sure sure
Alright your calls are coming up here in just a few minutes I wanted to recap this story
because it's so outrageous we can't just graze or glaze over this as they say.
Wait what?
W-A-F-F and we even found some other articles on this.
You can look through them all up to his ears and legal documents.
Philip Dean is fed up with the judicial system.
That's the kind of court system we've got in Jackson County, Alabama and I want everybody
to know what Dean says.
So he put a sign sign this front lawn saying quote
Our court system is a joke little bitty looks like a political sign. It's like little bitty
Maybe you're going a little over the top here got a bunch of photos here a message landing him behind bars
He's just not dealing with the fact of the story. No, you know, and it's it's it's glaring. It's so much funnier.
Why not?
Well, because if you deal with the reality of the story that
is somewhat funny, you don't get to use it the way
that Alex does about, like, hey, you're next person who
speaks up against the globalist.
Be scared.
Give me money.
Buy my books.
I mean, you know, now I really think it is like,
I don't want to go back in time and stop the show
I want to go back in time and make the show better
Hmm, you know like if it if it was legit funny if early on Alex were's were awarded for being good at
Learning things they're being funny or be or expressing talent in any way other than the ability to just fucking talk
Now I probably go the same way. Yeah, probably.
So we get another caller.
Yeah.
And she's found a book.
No!
And this book...
That's not good!
This book is an arcane book full of mysteries and demons.
Oh no!
Damn it!
Right now, let's go back to the calls.
Go ask Alice.
Amy in Texas, go ahead.
Hello?
Uh, Anne, go ahead.
Oh, hi.
Anne.
Um, I, go ahead. Oh, hi. Ann.
I've been calling because I found a 1903 book from the Mason and there are four pictures
in it, an illustration. One of them is a skeleton wearing a fez and everyone wearing the fez is stepping on like
people and they're being seen as wits and scepters and there are people being decapitated on being, uh, one-tanged, one-as-things, thought-and-to. And, uh, the
people who are doing this are all wearing the fez.
Yeah, the red little fez they wear at children's events symbolizes the murder of Christians
by the Muslims.
Whoa. Okay. That's extreme. Jordan is absolutely losing it. He's had to take off his glasses.

I was chosen say
There are these skeletons with pheasants on them. Should I be concerned this 1903 book that I found?
Skeletons with pheasants on them a yeah, all right, so Alex takes this information
Hey, all right. So Alex takes this information
About the skeleton fez is first skeletons, right? And then he transitions this into talking about member
We covered this on a 2004 episode a little bit ago when there was in Long Island They had a Masonic Lodge initiation. Yes. Yes. I recall I got shot. Yes, and Alex made a big deal out of that
Oh, I recall he brings that back into the conversation. Thanks to these feds where skeletons boy. I mean, I despise the impetus, but I'm glad
to see you come back. He has a Rola decks. He's able to pull things out of Rola decks
decently. Well, at this point, remember three weeks ago in Long Island, they blew the guys
head off in a Masonic ritual. That's a lot like a skeleton with a test they found coffins they're
always has a black halters and they black halters and says claimed it was
an accident they let the guy go and it's not as threatening with Fezz's $2,200
that's how they get you and then we found a track record of them accidentally
blowing people's heads off in these rituals and it's always an accident when
the Mason cops arrive very serious in the world as they were into this it's always an accident when the Mason cops arrive. Very serious.
All the Mason's are into this.
It's the higher level ones and it's been taken over by the Illuminati, according to
George Washington, it wasn't always like this.
What?
George Washington went public against it.
Wait.
John Quincy Adams and others.
Wait.
And Skull and Bones is a higher level of this.
They get in coffins.
I'm not going to say the prayer on air.
It's very blasphemous.
They ask Lucifer who they call God to enter down. Hey, Satan. Love you, bud. level of this they get in coffins i'm not going to say the prayer on air it's very blasphemous
they have to do so for they call god and i think they love you about our two
weeks war against the cattle
right the slaves of the profane sure uh...
the uh... neophytes
you know the picture
all of dragon
and uh... you thought that the lady
they
for hours just continually chat lucifer enemy Lucifer get with the dragons
What are we doing here folks?
This is what our Christian post our Christian conservative leaders are part of this and now this is the very Christian
I'm against it. Well, anyway, I wanted to tell you about the pictures because they were very
shocking they're shocking
skeletons of Fez ah wow dragons wow. Dragons without Fez's.
That was a ride.
Sure.
That was a ride.
Sure. And it's not over.
I had a great time, but I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
We have a sort of a...
De Numeau of the...
Okay, this is like a...
Okay.
...of the call.
All right.
Yeah, what book is this particular that you have?
Oh, God. It's called The History of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles, the Domestic Shrine.
It was written in 1903 and a letter in the front is from a bell-culling-bell's noble.
Anyway, nobody...
Yeah, do me a favor.
Will you Xerox copy and color the cover and then the inside pages and mail
that to me the cover the published date copy and those pictures because it's the folks
that just joined us to think I make stuff up.
You notice I said that this isn't this is the Arabic branch but this is white guys.
It's gonna do with Arabs.
This is the Arabic branch of the higher rights and you notice I said that and then you just
said the Arabic order. Arabic branch of the higher rights and you notice I said that and then you just said
the Arabic order.
Yes, I'll get that to you today.
Yeah, please, please do it.
And that's the slaughter of the Christians celebrating.
Oh, how they love it.
When they come to the schools to register your children with the face scans and thumb
scans and they smile with a little red hairline feathers though
hi where your friends give us your firearms soon we'll be in total control
hahahaha soon we'll own a city with the credit size of us and the black well flow
you fuzz is stupid we are almost in total control of you. That's what they really like. Okay. Okay
Hope that scares you because you should be concerned. I'm not scared
No, no amount of voices are gonna make me scared of the fucking Shriners. That's who he's talking about
I know furthermore furthermore
This woman called you because skeletons were
wearing fezzes in a book and she doesn't need help being scared yeah she doesn't need your
assistance that book has like a sort of ominous name but it's just the like history of the
Shriners which explains the fezzes they all wear fezzes yep yep it's a cute it was a cute
impression that Alex did but in the real world, the biggest impact they have
is opening children's hospitals
and driving around in funny cars that are too small.
I'll see you at the age of nine!
Yeah, I'll see you if you need your tonsils out.
What are you doing?
Oh, Christ.
So we have one last caller from this April 2nd show.
Ooh.
And this one's a bit confrontational.
That, my printer doesn't work. No
It's not another customer service. Okay. All right, but it's a bit confrontational about Alex. Okay what he does and does not do
Okay, and he could talk to you're on the air. Oh, and whatever your name is
Go ahead Alex get to talk to you man. I've been supporting you for a couple years now
You did excellent work. I do have a couple of homes to talk to you man. Been supporting you for a couple years now. You did an excellent work.
I do have a couple of bones to pick with you though
and I hope you give me a couple minutes to speak about it.
Basically, a bunch of my friends and I
have been supporting you for a couple years now
and we drove up to San Francisco just this last weekend
for the International Inquiry about 9-11.
And I kind of feel like he dropped a ball a little bit, man.
Drops a ball? That was a gentleman's consensus we got from've got the ball of the man that's not showing up
where it was a gentleman which we got from speaking with a lot of people there
it was a very powerful lot of people a lot of people running around trashin me
huh
no no actually a lot of people supporting you selling your videos and books and
those are really selling my videos yeah it was really uh... it was a really good
event actually it was very very powerful uh...
both to uh...
uh... like where this is going.
I think the boy representing at El Miragliani,
he was at 4 o'clock in the morning at a diner actually and he was at the
conference. That's where the conference starts.
You know what I don't know. You know what I called them and said are you going?
They said they weren't going. I don't know.
You said I was going about on there?
See that's the thing, that's actually one of the bugs I've taken out of the game.
You fucking call Andreas Maldillo.
You don't even know the truth.
I've been listening to you for a long time and a couple months leading up to the inquiry, you were scheduled to be there and I never once heard you on air mention even though I
want to get into a big a big thing over this I never I'm not gonna sit there and
attack people to put this on let me just say this we just say this you don't
normally get invited to something by not learning your names on a list now
okay into the discussion you have anything else to talk about?
Yeah, absolutely. Can I hold through to the commercial break? What do you want to talk about?
Just I want to talk about peak oil and other things. Yeah, we can talk about that imaginary peak oil situation when we get back. Not so not so pleasant. Oh, man. So there was a,
they do they did this a couple
times with COVID too and you see this happen periodically is
the conspiracy theorists get together and have a mock trial.
Sure. You know they did one with Obama they the citizens
they've got that's what the thing was a mock trial. They were
doing a mock government proceeding. Yeah. About 9 11
and Alex was I, advertised that he was
going to be on it or something, but here's the thing I don't quite understand
about that. When he says you don't find out that your book to be on something
because you find out you're on a list, this implies to me one of two
things. It could either be that you're on the list of attendees and that's how you
find out or if you're on a government list and you got on the list of attendees and that's how you find out. Yeah. Or if you're on a government list, right? And you got on it because of being, uh, like invited to
be on this thing, which would imply that the people who are running it are feds. I don't
know. I don't know which he's trying to imply, but it could be either or both. I got the,
I got the vision. Imagine you're looking at the Lollipalooza poster and you're like, my
band's on there. That's the way I got never call that a list
Yeah, that's fair, but that's not the lineup or something. That's why I that's that yeah That's where my mind goes is that's the only thing that makes sense to me
Otherwise if it's on a list that sounds like a no fly list. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like a lunatic
Alex is also a little nuts. That is a fair point and it's a citizen's
International inquiry into 9-11. That's what I'm saying
That's why it makes sense to me for him to find out that he like that's what makes sense to me is that they're like having a
Stupid mock trial or thing and they're like oh Alex is gonna be there and he's like I just found out about this or he or when you screamed
At me he agreed to do it and forgot that is also entirely possible
I don't know I don't know exactly what the deal is but it's nice
It's nice to hear somebody give Alex the
business in a very light way. Is there a way we can make all of
them just go back to making their fun mock trials?
Well, no, they were doing it during COVID and it was it was
awful. I know they're still doing it. Oh, God. Now we need to
get them to go back to being scared of skeletons wearing
hats. We do. We do. Maybe that's our problem.
Maybe we have not weaponized pictures of skeletons wearing
pheasants.
We should all be carrying them around.
Fucking guns.
No, don't need them.
They're terrified of pictures of skeletons and pheasants.
Forget about MAGA.
Maswa.
Make America scared of skeletons wearing hats.
It's not perfect. They think it would have to be a
massage. What's in there too. I think it's got to be two syllables or we're out.
Yeah. So we have the weekend and Alex is simmered. Sure. And now we're back on the
fifth. All right. On Monday has that VHS been said probably we've got confirmation one way or another all right fine
But what I can confirm for you is the guy who made the billboards is going to show up on this
All right, very good news so that will be paid off. Okay, but first Alex has another guest that he's teasing okay
Here we are live it is another
week spanning out before us. It's Monday, the
fifth day of April 2004. I'm Alex Jones, your host. The website's freshly updated.
Our prisonplanet.com and infowars.com. We have a huge show coming up today. In 30
minutes, the Grammy Award-winningwinning uh... i guess you've
gonna call it coribbean style jazz band whatever
me pretty mild stuff
is going to be joining us uh... there again grammy award-winning
they didn't touch the police absolutely nothing
what so they were attacked by the downtown or being charged with felony
crimes
what is about to happen?
I was on video. They now charge you with resisting arrest. If you don't answer their
questions, we even have Supreme Court rulings that don't show respect to King Herod or Caesar.
Sure.
You're in the trouble.
Interesting thing for the Supreme Court to say.
So that's coming up.
That's coming up.
Yeah.
So what bad?
What bad?
You don't know. What bad? Is it 311? Is it 311? It's coming up. Yeah. So what? What band? What band? What band? Is it 311?
Is it 311? It's not. It's not Nick Hexham. Okay. Okay. Remember the other members?
Sure. It's not 311. It's not 311. It feels 311. Alex hates 311. Yeah. Who does it? It's
Oza Motley. Oza Motley. Yeah. Oza Motley. Do not remember. So they are Afro Latin.
There's a little funk going on. They're very, they have a lot of different genre explorations.
Wow, apparently their genre is mild.
No, I would actually describe them as quite not mild.
They're fairly political in messaging.
Sure.
They did a fair amount of, I mostly know them
because they did some work with Charlie Tuna from J5.
All right.
And so that's how I ended up coming away. We did some stuff with some From J five. All right. And so that's how I ended up coming away.
I did some stuff with some other rappers too. All right. It was pretty interesting. The way
like instrumentation along with the rap. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know. I found out. I don't know a
whole lot about Ose Motley, but I always had a positive impression of them. All right. Turns
out they've been on in force. Yeah. All right. Okay. Sure. Why not? So have we talked
about Ose Motley at all? No, we have not. Okay. Because Alex has mentioned this incident
a couple of times. Okay. And I was kind of thinking like, well, this is going to be
going somewhere. And it turns out where it was going is Ose Motley being on the show.
I did not see that coming. Yeah. So here's what happened. The situation, it's a huge
mess and technically no one was really fully in the right. Sure. So the band was in Austin for South by Southwest and on March 18th of this year, they were
playing on 6th Street.
Quite innocently and in good fun, a couple members of the band decided to end the show
at 2.30 in the morning with a conga line out into the streets, which is a violation of
the noise ordinances in Austin.
Sure.
You may be able to make a bunch of noise on the streets, but effectively being a band with instruments like a drum and leading what amounts to an impromptu parade,
that's a little bit beyond the line. What you're gonna say? Cops are gonna have. Hey.
No. It is what it is. So an officer tried to step in and tell them to calm it down.
And in the process, their drummer Jiro Yamaguchi inadvertently hit a cop with a drum. All
right. Well, that's not going to go well. go well. He was trying to like turn it around.
Sure, sure, sure.
No, no, no.
It's very inconvenient to carry.
It was a fucking three stooges start, yeah, it begins.
So this turned into a nasty situation pretty quick
and three Ozamotli members got arrested.
Sure.
Yamaguchi for assaulting an officer
and their basest and manager for failure
to obey a lawful order and interfering
with police duties respectively.
And then cut to the cat that accidentally for failure to obey a lawful order and interfering with police duties respectively.
And then cut to the cat that accidentally scratched the drummer's foot and then made
the whole thing smiley.
You think the drummer has a paw?
I think so.
Okay.
I do now because it's a Muppet drummer.
So there were a ton of people recording because this was on 6th Street.
Sure.
Although I do now want to ask you how many members of the Electric Mayhem you can go
with. I can't do any. You can't. I don't think so.
Lou Zealand. I mean, I can't do it. Not under pressure. Okay. Okay. So you know it's on 6th Street during 6th South by Southwest.
So there's a bunch of people with cameras around. So the reality of the situation came out pretty fast, particularly that the police acted
inappropriately and that Yamaguchi wasn't trying to hit the cop
with his drum.
All parties reached a compromise where the band members
pled no contest to lower level misdemeanors
and everybody went on with their lives,
saving a complete embarrassment.
Yeah, everybody going like,
I wish none of us had done any of this.
Yeah.
So that pleading down and compromising to a no contest
thing that wouldn't happen until
July so this episode from April is right in that sweet spot where it looks like the members
could be facing felonies. Sure.
Even in April it wasn't a really likely scenario given the copious amount of evidence on Ozamatli's
side but it's really good optics for Alex to exploit and it's a fairly famous band
who will agree to come on his show. Yeah.
And so that's big. I think yeah no, no, it's a good decision all around
on everybody's part,
because they should be putting public pressure
onto the fucking cops for sure.
And I think it was in 2000, I think that year is correct.
I know it's before this.
They had played at the DNC.
So like they had a profile.
You know, they weren't, they were,
they're fairly obscure in maybe some of the mainstream
or circles, but they're not a in maybe some of the mainstream or circles,
but they're not they're not a small band.
All right.
And so the idea of them being on Info Wars is pretty, pretty silly.
Interesting.
All right.
But this incident and especially it happening in Austin really is that sweet spot.
So we're not actually going to listen to much of their interview when it does happen
because it's kind of not that interesting.
Yeah.
Just the fact that the that interesting. Yeah. I mean, just the fact that it happened is more interesting.
The story happened. Yeah.
There's really not much to say other than like, ah, again, I wish nobody had done any of that.
And it's almost like them saying like, well, we've performed in Austin before and done a conga line before.
Yeah. It's like, no, that you should.
You had every reason to think it would be OK. Yeah. Yeah.
And then we shouldn't be getting facing felonies.
And then, yeah, you shouldn't be. And then you end up not eventually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind
of like we just know it should be. I mean, it's like literally here's the interview.
A reasonable person goes, Hey, everybody, we're not doing anything any further. Just
stop. And then we move forward and we're done. And we're not going to listen to much of that
interview because there are very, very issues okay mic'd out for that
oh no
and remember the story friday out of alabama in their local newspapers and television stations
reporting that a man put a side up in his yard saying that our court system is a joke
and proving that point the local judge had him arrested and said this respective government
is illegal came out and said you're not government is illegal. Came out and said,
you're not allowed to criticize us. This is what they think. And sounds unbelievable,
but it's actually happening. And then we got a call Friday from a listener claiming
that in Oregon, he saw a local news story and I had seen a barb about it that a man
saved a homeless chicken that lived on the street in front of a grocery
store and so he got a vicious SWAT team raid and was beat up and is now being charged himself
with very serious crimes. Again, this is not April Fools. It's April 5th, ladies and gentlemen.
We didn't do April Fools on April 1st. This is real news.
This is really happening.
This is the insanity of government.
So this didn't really happen.
Can a man not take in a homeless chicken?
Can a man not do that in America?
So this is, okay.
Details are a little bit off here.
Yeah.
So this is about a guy named Nicholas Gombos.
He went to a local grocery store called Ray's Food place and noticed that they had a chicken in a coop
He decided that the chicken was sad and being mistreated and that he should take that chicken home
However, that chicken was a beloved mascot of Ray's food place named speckles
It was the man stole Speckles. It was. The man stole Speckles. Yeah, he probably wasn't a malicious person in this act.
Maybe just delusional because after he stole Speckles, he bought a hen and a rooster so
none of the birds would be lonely.
At some point it became known that he was the one who had taken the chicken, so the
police contacted him and asked him to give Speckles back, which he refused to do.
Of course.
Things turned a little bit ugly when the police came to his house and wanted to
Retrieve this stolen chicken and he threatened them which led to him going to jail for theft as well as threatening officers
Sure, he didn't get SWAT teamed and the police didn't beat him up
That's all just exaggerations Alex is adding to the story to excite the listeners right there's a really dark kind of end to this story
Of course there is so in May after speckles was returned to raise good Someone showed up and killed him in the night leaving. Speckles? Yes. Why? I don't know.
The guy killed Speckles because if he can't have Speckles, no one can? No, I understand why that's a
fun story for you to connect dots, but it wasn't him. Okay. This person killed the chicken in the
night, left him in the sidewalk to be discovered in the morning. Eventually an 18 year old from a neighboring town admitted to doing it thinking that the
chicken was injured and needed to be put out of its misery or more likely, I mean if I
just had to suspect you as a fucked up kid.
I mean what is going on with the people around this fucking grocery store?
This is something in the water issue.
This is not, why is this man trying to steal a chicken that's
outside of a grocery store I don't care how you feel about this chicken there's
a lot of a lot of speckles drama man that is the stakes on these episodes
though he just guy with divorced guy with the billboard I want I want I want to I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, reported by Alex as a case where the government just oppressed a good Samaritan who wanted to help out a chicken experiencing homelessness. This is what we call the Info Wars Filter,
where a real life story gets turned into complete bullshit designed to make the audience feel
like they're under attack. What if you just thought you could help this chicken out? What
about you'd get raided by the swap team and they'd all beat you up?
Yeah.
It's nonsense.
I find, here's something that I find interesting in the past. It feels like when we go deep into stories in the past,
the story is always far more interesting
than the bullshit that Alex makes up.
Generally.
In the present though, because he doesn't get those cool
stories and he just goes off headlines
from like regular mainstream media,
we don't get to find out the interesting,
all of a sudden, this weird divorce guy.
Well, because at this point, Alex is getting his news from like...
From weirdos who are divorced!
Or weird aggregators of stories, you know, like there was Fark,
that was like, they had the headline aggregator that you could like...
Alex is getting stuff from sites like that,
and so some of them are fucking weird nonsense stories. But
then also there is a bias that we have. And that is because these stories are so far in
the past, we know how they end. And so you can see the totality of it. Whereas in the
present you're just like, well, here's what's happened so far.
Yeah. Yeah. Dead Internet Theory has some very coincidental aspects to it
But there man sometimes whenever you you think about like when the internet dies
Turn into a skeleton. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna have a fuzz. We're gonna cut in half while we wear fuzz is
Sounds good. Yeah, so this there's another news story that Alex has on this episode that kind of blew my mind
Okay, we'll be getting into that also a new mainstream article about how the u.s.
got candid to world war two a lot of evidence shows
according to canadian papers that the u.s. government shelled a lighthouse
the blame it on the germans and i'm sorry ending the nazis here i'm just
giving you an i'm not defending the nazis here i'm just giving you a not defending the nazis problem reaction solution
folks i've
rarely see this big of an overload of key stories i'm gonna try to just
news blitz
through all of it
so canada was in world war two well before the united states say they
entered the war in september nineteen thirty nine a good two years before
pearl harbor
which also thinks is a false flag that the globalist pulled to get the country into war. Now I know that
I hear Alex saying that he's not into the Nazis, but man, he sure seems to think that
everybody who fought them was tricked into doing it. That's strange.
I just want to, I just feel like at the time, Canada was closer to England.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, they were real tight.
Well, yeah, they had some years previous. Sure. They weren't they weren't under the king. Yeah. And they
had made it very clear the parliament would make their decisions. They were not necessarily
going to do. They weren't necessarily just going to follow the U.S. and to any war.
Sure. But in that case, they decided that it was worth, you know, rallying around.
We will make sure that ceremonial and nothing happens unless you sign off on it.
Sure. And ironically, the Prime Minister back then was named King,
which makes it very confusing to read articles.
Very frustrating. Very frustrating.
Even though the monarch was a queen? No, wait.
Elizabeth wasn't queen in 1939, was she?
I, you know, sometimes I feel like, sure it's not fair and sure it's arbitrary
But no you can't have this job because your name is king.
Like that, I know I understand that that maybe he's the best person for the job
But do you know who else is good at the job?
The second best person and their name is not king.
Prince.
Done. See?
Thank God. I thought it was, I thought it was imagining things.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, Elizabeth came into power in 52. Yeah.
I was like, is it possible that she was queen in 39?
No, no, no. I don't believe it.
Which one?
Well, she could she's she was there forever.
Wow, sure. But she wasn't the real queen.
What? Yeah.
Was there a shadow queen? Of course.
Oh, man. We'll talk about that later because now we have to hear about what happened to Oza Motley.
Yes, we do. Oza Motley, the Grammy award-winning band and it's not some heavy metal band. It's not Janet Jackson.
It's it's it's one nipple on TV. The world went fucking insane.
Band music and Caribbean music. I mean, I'm not the connoisseur of music, but it
just a tame band. Never been in trouble. Never had any problems. And the fire marshal came
in and said during South by Southwest a few weeks ago, you need to get a lot of these
people out of the building. We help us and they said, sure, we'll do a morango, you know,
bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, link up up and go out that's the story we're going with to downtown where
they had all the street shut down i mean it's a big party down there
and then uh... the black steam ask uh... guardians that take good care of
us rather said get back in the club
they said okay tried to turn around
and had the police behind them yelling at them
and uh... one of the band members had his
big drum up above his head because that's how you get through a crowd. You know, he's
trying to carry it. And the police thought that that was threatening and ran in and jumped
on him and then they fell over and this is the new America. They assault you on video.
I mean, that'd be like watching a pro football game and somebody sticks the quarterback after
the balls are not in play and you watch the linebacker break the ribs of the quarterback
blood spray from the quarterback's mouth and then the police come and arrest the quarterback
and say you devil you assaulted them.
Here I'll use the sports analogy.
This is not a good analogy.
But it's a sports one.
That is true. You're
from sports. I am from sports. You should appreciate it. Oh, it's a different sport.
So Alex has the basic gist of the story right here, but he's fudging a few details in order
to make it work better for his oppression obsessed audience. Sure. First of all, I can find no
indication that the fire marshal told Osamotli to help people get people out of the Exodus
Club. The name of the bar they're playing at. Heroes. They would likely never be put in that situation
since bars have staff that handles that kind of thing,
and they would never need to rely on a band
like pipe-pipering the crowd out of the building.
That's nuts.
Also, in an interview they did with Pitch KC,
they said, quote, we always end an Oso show
with a conga line, and we'd gone outside with it
when we'd played Austin before, so we didn't know that it would be a problem.
Right.
So it's kind of part of their thing but Alex has the instinct to heighten stories to increase
the level of fuckery going on.
Right.
It's not enough that the police outside told them to stop it.
They needed to only have gone outside because some other agent of the state had told them
they needed to.
This way Alex can create the impression of a trap being set by the state where they get you to do something with one hand
and then punish you for doing it with the other. The other thing Alex is
misrepresenting is the issue with the drummer. He did hit an officer with his
drum but it was totally an accident. Alex is pretending this isn't the case
because it makes it easier for him to sell his story when the party you're
supposed to be pulling for didn't even do the thing that they're accused of.
Sure. It's really easy to side with Osse Motley and see this as an instance of overzealous police
response without rewriting any of the story, and yet Alex does just that. There's a couple of
reasons he does this. The first is just narrative simplicity. He wants to make this super easy for
the audience to get on board with and not have pesky questions in their head like,
why would they do a congo line out into the streets at 2.30 in the morning?
Here's an interesting question.
Decide step any of the possible audience response like that, Alex includes the preemptive answer
in the form of the story about the fire marshal imploring them to do the congo line.
The other reason is that Alex isn't up to the task of arguing a sticky point.
If it's possible that the members of the band made some mistakes themselves, it's
so much harder for Alex to make his argument because he's lazy.
They have to have done nothing wrong and the state oppressed them anyway. That's just how evil the state is.
It's the same instinct that drives him to not mention the other signs that that guy had up in his yard,
and the fact that he had a pre-existing relationship with the judge.
Sure.
You just make a saint out of one party.
Yeah.
It's really a shame too because these are instances where
you can't address and deal with reality and still end up with similar conclusions to
where Alex gets. Yeah. These are places where there's a theoretical possibility to find common
ground with Alex, but I can't because even if I agree with much of the conclusion that
he comes to, the way he got there isn't grounded in reality. And that's a formula for getting
off track. And I'm not going to side with it. Yeah. Yeah, it is it is like this
You know you you think oh
Alex is at my rally right Alex is hanging out with me
We're all together on this side not doing that thing
But then the longer you're around Alex the more you're in a Nazi rally
And you're like I didn't even mean to be here. I was just talking about the thing.
And that's kind of how it works, I think.
It's a process issue.
You can use the wrong equation
and get the right answer sometimes,
but it's unreliable.
And I resent it.
It is fascinating that when you look at these things
from 2004, it is more common that we come up with a like
Well, yeah, I mean Alex is saying that it's wrong that they arrested these members of Ozamatli and like yep
That's true. Yep, it's wrong that they arrested this guy who had to sign up in his yard. Yeah, that's true
Still got fundamental disagreements with the way that Alex is covering these stories. Sure. Well, I think I mean ultimately
Alex's anti-government in a think I mean, ultimately Alex's anti government
in a situation where yeah, the government's wrong. But now it seems like he's anti government,
but only because the government isn't doing things that are evil. You mean in the present
day? Yeah. Yep. There's some of that. Yeah. So we have another story from the world. By the way in England ID cards to be compulsory by
08, Tony Blair says after the latest bombs they supposedly found and saved
everybody from. The same British government that's been caught blowing up
their own buildings. The same British government that's caught been caught
running a fake Ryerson scare last year. Sure. Everyone in Britain can be forced to have a good card within five years under a
fast-track plan by david blanket which is back by tony blier
and getting support within the cabinet
and it says that the public is very angry they say this is not to germany big
brother share
but you see an end when they're more honest about it you're gonna have a
national on the card so National IDs became available for citizens
to voluntarily acquire after the passage
of the Identity Cards Act of 2006.
It wasn't popular.
And only about 15,000 of the 60-something million
UK citizens applied for one,
and then the whole thing was scrapped in 2011.
Yeah, that sounds right.
If it was like an evil authoritarian power grab,
they fucked up every step of the plan.
That was the worst power grab. What was every step of the plan. That was the worst
power grab. It was a power, uh, shit. It was a power throw away. I guess. I don't know.
You know, Alex has this fantasy of like every time you seed some sort of authority, you'll
never get it back. Well, they introduced these ID cards and then they just scrapped it in
2011. Yeah. So that's every, I just find the specific examples in the world. A lot of times,
you know, vaccine passports, another example of that. Sure. Like a lot of countries adopted
them. They don't use them anymore. No, it's just sometimes people will just not do stuff.
Yeah. I want to get back to the lighthouse thing. Oh, okay. Wait, wait, why? Because,
because you're talking about Canada. Yeah. yeah, yeah. I'm interested to think, because the more I thought about it,
the more I think,
how awful would you feel
if that story was true?
Not because of the America doing the thing.
Yeah.
But because it took a lighthouse?
That's what it took?
To get into World War II.
You were like, oh, well now that they've hit this lighthouse,
now it's time to get involved!
Let me assure you it's not true.
And also it wasn't done to blame the Germans because it was on the west coast of...
It was on Japan, it was to blame Japan.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean Alex is all over the place.
Yeah, yeah, no, it makes sense.
But don't worry about it.
Okay, but I'm just saying that it suddenly hit me like that's the saddest thing I could
think of. I was like, oh well great, now that they've hit me like that's the saddest thing I could think of I was like
Oh, well great now that they've hit this lighthouse. It's a pretty cool lighthouse
And it is actually strategically important in terms of like some trade routes and sure no 100% I agree
But but yeah, we'll talk about it right at the end of this
Okay
Now I was getting back no he brings it back up right at the end all Okay. So I thought we were done with it. Now I was getting back
to know he brings it back up right at the end. All right. Now I've spoiled that instincts.
Yep. So the board op here accidentally, this is the only thing that I'm going to play from
the Ozamatley. Yeah, yeah, okay. It's because it's kind of funny. Okay. And the board op
makes a little mistake a few weeks ago. We have this big thing called South by Southwest they've had
for about a decade here and hundreds of rock bands come in other types of music
syndicated radio interview right now no way up you know what George I think you
put our guests on air while she's trying to get one of the other one of the
other band one of the other band members on and this is a lot of fun.
It is fun.
Taking a little nap before they go on the radio.
Or just not up yet.
Yeah.
They're rock and rollers.
Yeah.
Their manager was trying to wake them up to go do the interview.
That's fun.
I like that.
Good times.
That's good band stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
It's charming.
Yeah. So no need to really
talk about that interview because I said it's boring it all worked out in the end
to but there's another interview okay which is divorced still bored man there
we go I'm bringing up our guest Philip Dean Philip good to have you on the show
hello welcome tell us a little bit about yourself and why you put the sign up and what happened?
Well, I live in Jackson County, Alabama. I'm a logging contractor, self-employed, and I went through a bad divorce,
and the mother was letting the children run wild and take drugs and into all kinds of trouble,
so I took her back to court on June the 23rd of last year to try
to seek custody of my two daughters. I have three kids, but I have custody of my son.
Okay, when we went back to court, I hired an attorney that wasn't no good and he never
got it in the court. So I had to get another attorney, pay another attorney, supposed to
be the best attorney in Scotchburg. We go to court, my ex-wife shows up without an attorney,
and the judge gives the kids back to her. Damn! Tough. Boy, the details of that story
I bet are so sad. Scotchburg. If you really really dug in there you would get real sad I
would assume so he does say repeatedly that the kids run wild I mean I the
mind reels at what they could possibly yeah there's there's no part of that dad
story that doesn't need him to be like we're gonna put you in counseling we're
gonna get you some people something something figure out you know it's fun
just doing anything you can do anything in that
way. Yeah we can do that. Yeah. So Alex has asked Dean to tell his story and
naturally for him that story begins with his ugly divorce and messy custody
battle. That's the inciting incident for the whole sign thing so it's natural for
him to bring that up. Right. That's also the case in pretty much every article
about Dean getting arrested over the sign. The beginning of the incident is a
custody hearing because without that event
He never would have put that sign up in the first place
Yeah, but on info wars
This is the first that we're hearing of it
It does seem strange and Alex is telling of the story
This is just supposed to be a guy with a political message to get out and a judge with no connection to him
Punishing him for daring to criticize the state because I I know the story, when I hear Dean get into this,
I'm not surprised. But if I were an average Info Wars listener, I might be confused as to why
this brave patriot is starting off his story complaining about custody hearings. It doesn't
seem on message or on point because the point has been obscured. Yeah, it is. It is one of the
things where we do consistently see him running up against people who do not know what the game is in the past.
He has a lot of guests on who are suddenly surprised to be like, wait, wait, wait.
You didn't want me to say the thing that you-
I don't think that Alex doesn't want him to say it.
I mean, they're freely talking about this at this point because once the guy is on the show, there's no real denying
that this is the reality of the situation. But as long as Alex was laying the groundwork
of this storyline, he's not giving the audience a window in until it's forced in by the subject
of the story itself. Yeah. I mean, does he tell us what he wants? He wants his kids.
Oh, that's no good. Right. But he also wants maybe to put up more signs.
I don't know. That's that's probably not good either. I don't think that's going to resolve
the scenario. I think that might just escalate things. But he did put up more signs just
than the one that Alex has mentioned. Right. Are we going to get into that? Yeah. And so
it's weird that Alex asks him about the other signs because alex doesn't make you know all about he just said there was a small side
our county
yeah it was a joke
similar sign that says judge harlson said my minor children age thirteen and
fifteen need to be with her mother even though she lets them smoke
take drugs and run wild tighten it up okay
now is she going of a happy or something
else he believes he's got some of the rhymes no zoning violation you're on a county road 107
correct the country then these are little signs you stick them in your yard but they don't come up
with some little technicality to try to get you they just take your signs take your property in
america something our veterans have fought and died for.
I honestly-
Oh, come on now.
It's a little much.
I would suggest that I would find him
or have the sign taken down because it's so long
and like that could cause an accident.
So when reading the ages of his kids,
their mother is letting him go,
we don't want that.
Oh no, shit, oh fuck.
Yeah, if that's like next to a blind turn, you will kill people.
Yeah, yeah, caution. Slow readers are available, yeah.
Caution, long sign coming up.
Yeah, you need a sign to warn people about the sign.
Yeah.
Now that is a compromise I will accept.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's...
You should be allowed to say what you want by a sign.
If the judge was just tighten it up
Yeah, that signs unwieldy or something like that. Yeah, this whole thing is resolved. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely
Yeah, but I'm not infringing on your free speech. Nope, but that's a mess. Yeah, I'm not going to judge you
I'm going to give you some feedback. How about that?
Now I'm giving you feedback from the bench
No, I mean it's a little bit of a different spot.
Just because I'm a judge doesn't mean I can't be an editor.
Tighten it up.
Hey, tighten it up.
So the judge, he's God.
Sure.
He's God of the county.
Right.
Now, obviously the judge was in a delusional power trip state when he said 30 days,
but then he changed his mind and flames.
He apologized.
And number one is that true.
Number two, why do you think he finally woke up that he was engaging in Soviet style behavior?
Well, he's the God of Jackson County.
Exactly.
I'm glad you said that.
First off, he is the God.
He is the God.
He is the principality.
He is the God.
First off, he put me in jail.
My sister got on the phone and she talked to just about every attorney in Scotchburg.
They said, no way, not no way will we touch this case.
You've always got to bring in a lawyer or be family friends with them or family.
That's the type I've got.
Yeah.
All the way with my lawyers, they walk in and devastate everything.
They're not part of the system.
Go ahead. Well, all these lawyers told my sister, not no, but hell no. Okay. One of the attorneys
I was friends with in Scotchboro that I've known for a long time, he called my sister
back on the phone and told her, said, I didn't tell you this, but you need to get out of
Scotchboro and get your brother a lawyer because everyone in Scotchburg is a scared to go up the God
against the God, Judge Herald.
So that's, wait, wait, he's called God.
Oh man. Oh man. Stop saying Scotchburg.
Wow.
I can't handle it.
Ah man.
Yes, he's the God of the county.
To be fair, Alex said this earlier. So maybe this guy is mirroring
what Alex said earlier. Yeah, the guy is a God. Yeah. So I don't know. I just I find
him unconvincing. I feel here's my feel. My general vibe. I think maybe he got turned
down by a few. My general vibe is that everybody fucking hates this guy and that no he's not wrong and that no you can't get him on anything but
everybody just really does not like this guy.
Mmm. It may be. It may be. I think maybe more it's a case of like I-
Fletch 2?
Who knows how many different variables there could be for like a person not wanting to take his case sure it's a loser of a case
I'm not gonna win this. I'm trying to build a reputation in this town. Don't like that guy
He doesn't have the money sure or definitely that yeah, I'm too busy
There's a number of reasons that lawyers could turn this down and you know, it's more fun to imagine
It's like I can't I can't do that because I would anger the judge by practicing law
Hey, I don't I don't do that because I would anger the judge by practicing law.
Hey, I don't believe me.
I don't discount the insane power of a municipal court judge out of control.
You know, you read stories about the ones that are like,
ah, I judge you to muh, and then you're like, you can't really do that.
And they're like, apparently I can.
It's magic world.
You know what you read more of, though?
Yeah. Sheriffs like that. Yes, you can't really do that. And they're like, apparently I can. It's magic world. You know what you read more of though?
Yeah.
Sheriffs like that.
Yes, you do.
Man.
We got to keep people who are crazy away
from having a lot of power.
Especially that kind of like unitary, like just singular power.
Jesus.
So I found something very interesting in the way
that Dean talks.
And that is that he seems to have very different priorities than Alex
and it comes out here.
Well, they do good in China, wouldn't they?
Yes, they would. Judge Harrelson would do great.
I don't think he would.
Is it sad to you to see this happening in America?
Yes, it is. And it's even more sad to see what this judicial system has done to my family.
They have destroyed my children's life.
Well, that's, uh, that's, so you're all chained up now. They bring you in before his lordship.
What's just calling his lordship? Okay. So you see the way that Alex changed the subject.
Yeah. You get the sense listening to this interview that Philip Dean is primarily focused
on his family. Yeah. This whole thing started because he had a belief that his children were not
being raised in a safe environment with his ex-wife. He put up the sign primarily
because he lost the custody hearing and then he couldn't afford what it would
cost to pay a lawyer for an appeal which convinced him that the court system is a
joke. He did seem to target the judge in the case more than really expensive
lawyers but I'll leave that to the side. It's his choice. The point is he mostly just cares about his family.
He seems pissed off at the court and this judge in particular, but he's mad because
their decisions left his kids with his ex-wife who he thinks is not keeping them safe. Conversely,
Alex doesn't care about that at all. He just wants to use Dean's story as a prop to incite
the audience against the prevailing power structure. He just wants to do all this shit about how judges are selfish
and vain gods meeting out justice on their petty whims. It's an interesting dynamic
because I don't think that Dean is that politically inclined, but he has a story that's very useful
to be exploited by Alex, who is deeply politically inclined. It doesn't feel like Dean is an
unwilling participant in this whole thing,
and he's definitely going along
with whatever Alex is laying down,
but I get a strong sense that if someone had just agreed
to represent him in his custody appeal pro bono,
none of this would be happening.
Yeah.
This is, do you know what I feel like from Dean?
Hmm.
Pre-Internet.
This is somebody who does not have the,
who does not, you know, like, like
now this is a person who has already got an Instagram account about how angry stuff is.
You know, there, this is a person who's already spinning this into their five minutes or whatever.
The billboard might as well have been a shit post.
Totally. Yeah. And then he would have had a thing and then there would have been a big
fight and then he could have been like selling small billboards, you know, like that all would have been a big fight, and then he could have been selling small billboards. That all would have happened in the post internet.
And now, and here he is, just like, I put up billboards.
It's the only thing I could do.
It's the only thing I could do because I don't understand.
It's yelling into the ether, essentially.
And that's what posting online is too.
Yeah, exactly.
No, it is, yeah.
But it is so interesting to me that like,
he seems to be aware of some kind of political corruption
in Scotchbur or whatever.
I bet there is.
I'm sure there is too.
I bet there is.
But he would never have done any of this stuff
if it weren't personally affecting his connection
with his family.
Yes.
That's the only real thing that that that matters to him. Whereas Alex wants
to take down judges. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alex would Alex would like to be George Washington
and this guy's like let's take down King George because he is working pissing on my lawn.
I'm not saying that he is a great person. I have no idea pretty much what America did
really fair. But I'm not saying that he should necessarily have custody of his kids. I have
no idea. I don't know the circumstances. It may very well be that he is a negligent and
a bad parent. Yeah. That's possible. But his priority or his concern in terms of the story
that we're talking about right is all familial. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
And that's unfortunate because he's being used. Yeah. Yeah, that's I mean, that's what it is
It's like it's in the pre-internet era
You could it felt like people were being used and now in the internet era it feels like people are using that being used
It's it's too. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. So Alex tries to bring
all of these these stories together. Sure. And in the process brings in another guest.
All right. You'll never guess who it is. It's the guy who stole a chicken. Not that guy's
wife. It is not. Yes. It really is. Yeah. It is not. not it is what? So we we've connected to disparate elements of our society
Yeah, otherwise would never have interacted they're on the phone at the same time amazing
Yes, this is what the show should have been for from the beginning exactly. Oh my god
I'm my friends. I I see these type of articles every couple days
I don't even cover them on the air because there's so many of them
But today we've been detailing some examples of it. Those are motley the Grammy award-winning
Konga band whatever you want to call it
Music never been in trouble the police
mostly play limbo shows. What gravy do you eat as a conga bill?
Conga Grammy.
The Phillip Dean put a sign in his yard, our court system is a joke.
The judge had the police take it, then arresting.
He's on with us.
And then this story I heard about Friday, and I believed it, but I had to find the article
myself out of the male tribute out of origan
and it says it's often jail for chicken rescuer williams band thought he had
been abandoned
so let me know that uh... she was a town celebrity in murphy
how do you not know what i would celebrity dot uh...
our next guest here on the line nick uh... dombo's and uh... his uh... wife
but kathy dean no relation to mr. Dean in Alabama now
We're going to the other side of the country to the west coast and
In a nutshell it's a long article
And I've got several other articles here on a different story when you read the different articles together
You don't go there. There's a six every week out by the side of the highway
every it's every
out by the side of the highway. It's shivering. It's shivering. Oh, the shivering chicken. He was going to get his thrifty nickel and he goes in and says, I'm going to take this
chicken. They say, sure. Then he calls him. I'm sorry. The chicken, the chicken's doing
well. They said, and then all of a sudden the police come out and say, give us the
chicken. Let us in. He said, no, bring a warrant. What story is this? He has diabetes and stuff
from Agent Orange. Sure.
His wife joining us because sometimes he has problems with his long short term memory,
she was saying.
Long short term.
So in that clip, you have Alex doing something that you very rarely see, which is presenting
stories that he's able to provide connective tissue for in order to build a theme.
Yeah.
All of these stories are supposed to be cases where the police overstepped.
There's a vibe that they can work together
Yeah, the issue here though is they really only have that connective tissue if you rely on the reality that Alex paints instead of real-world
reality right the case of Oza Motley involves a band ending their show with a conga line at 2 30 in the morning
Which police told them they needed to stop at which point the crowd got a little heated and the drummer
Accidentally hit an officer with his drum the The police overreacted in response to the entire thing, which was remedied by a compromise in
scaled-down charges. It was a police overreaction and
resolved. The case of Philip Dean is one of judicial overstepping,
but it's also a case that it's a bit more debatable than Alex wants you to think.
Dean had previous business in front of the judge and directly attacked him in one of the yard signs that Alex tried to pretend didn't exist. There's
a possibility that when the judge ordered Dean to be brought in for contempt, he thought
that Dean still had business in front of the court, like he may not have known that the
time limit for his custody appeal had lapsed. That doesn't make this okay, but it makes
it more understandable why it would possibly be considered contempt by the judge.
Sure.
The police overstepped, but only because they were following the orders of the judge, so
this really isn't similar to the Osamali case where it was the police actions.
Sure.
It's only similar in terms of vibes.
Right.
And then we have the case of the Nicholas Gombos, where a guy steals a chicken because
he thought he could raise it better than the grocery store for whom it was a mascot
Right, he had no right to take that chicken
It was somebody else's and he refused to return it and then threaten the police when they came to retrieve someone else's property
That he'd stolen he wasn't SWAT teamed and he has memory problems
Which is gonna call into question a lot of the stuff like his claim that he said someone told him
He was okay to take speckles. Yeah, that he called to give them updates
Yeah, I don't believe that shit because they were actively looking for their lost mascot
and the store was closed when he took it.
If he called to tell them where it was, this thing would have been resolved much more quickly.
Yeah, yeah, if you wanted to put connective tissue between all of these things,
it would just simply be that if you send people with guns to somewhere, they're going to make some place worse.
Or the connective tissue is, is that some 2004 bullshit right there.
That is a strong 2004 bullshit.
But as it stands with gombos, this isn't the case of the police or a judge overstepping.
It's a case of a man stealing a chicken and thinking it was his right to do that because
he felt he could treat it better than its owner.
It's a case of a crime being committed and the police arresting someone for that crime. But by subtle finesse, Alex is able to wrap all these cases into a neat
little bow, making them appear to be a part of the cohesive whole. But if you examine
these cases more closely, that cohesive whole is just based on vibes. Alex wants you to
feel a certain way about these cases, and that is the connective tissue. They're not
all cases of police brutality. They're not all cases of judicial impropriety. They're not all cases of people's rights being infringed. There's
nothing that holds them firmly together other than they each have good optics for Alex to
use to make the listeners scared that the man is coming for them so long as able Alex
is able to fudge some of the details in order to build that vibe up. For instance, in that
clip, Alex says that Nicholas asked people if he could take the chicken and they said it was fine. That never happened. And if you read
the source that Alex himself is citing, they make it very clear that he visited the store
after hours. There was no one there to give permission from. But Alex knows that if he
lies about that, it makes his subject seem more blameless. And that helps him build the
vibe of outright, somewhat comical police oppression. Sure. Even with all that said, it's a staggering thing
to see this kind of a swing on Alex's show.
He's legitimately juggling three stories
that he's pretending are all connected
and he's trying to illustrate a theme.
I don't think he's successful in his attempt,
but it is so much more ambitious.
I know, it really is.
And also, I think he actually, well, one, I think he fails.
But I do think there is an incredible connective tissue between all three of these things,
which is that it is people being assholes, and then the problem being escalated through
the use of somebody who has guns.
It's simple.
What are you doing?
Don't go outside the fucking bar at 2.30.
Some people are trying to sleep.
Asshole behavior. Everybody should go, hey, quit being an asshole, and then they go, I'm sorry, I was an asshole. Don't go outside the fucking bar at 2 30 some people are trying to sleep asshole behavior
Everybody should go hey quit being an asshole, and then they go. I'm sorry. It was an asshole, and then it's done
Mm-hmm. What are you doing putting billboards up? What are you fucking doing? Take them down talk to your ex-wife
Work shit out get a fucking note guns bow problem. What are you doing? You stole that chicken?
There's no reason to steal a chicken!
Give back the damn chicken.
Just give the chicken back.
Nope! Guys with guns!
No! I'm telling you!
No guys with guns should go anywhere!
You almost slipped into Danny Callister.
I really did. It was so close.
It was so hard not to.
I think you're somewhat right,
but I also don't think it's all people with guns
because it is also just
It's a thwart. It's authority of a certain level that is unnecessary. It's overkill right is essentially it
You know it's it is like this should be resolved by being people and instead it's being resolved by this over-the-top
Level that's not going to resolve it. It's gonna make it worse
Yeah, yeah, and the thing that is made worse is
exploitable by someone like Alex. Exactly. Because he can make it look like this is all about completely out of the blue
just the state wanting to
do this to you as opposed to
there's some people who make some bad reactions to people being dicks. Yeah, and if you, I mean
make some bad reactions to people being dicks. Yeah, and if you, and I mean,
so much of this is just like, listen,
if you are a judge, you need to understand
that if you act like an asshole like this,
Alex is going to convince a million people
that all judges are full of shit and evil.
Like, that's on you.
That's on every single fucking one of you
because you get to wear a pretend robe
that makes you powerful.
Every time you put it on, you have to be better than the people who are not wearing the robe
That's the idea sure. I mean, I think I think that
Yeah, yeah, you have a responsibility to the public and if you fuck up guess what there's Alex right there right and when when you fuck up
It's it's not
The man crushing a guy with a sign. It's someone who made a
bad decision. Yeah, possibly in some good faith. Yeah. Because there is a decent chance
that that guy did think there was sure like business in front of the court. Sure. He did
think that this was an egregious level of contempt. His name was on the sign.
That's probably shit talk that you don't want to handle.
Now, at the same time, as a judge, he's a public figure.
So the bar for what you can and can't say about them
is a little wider than if he was just a private citizen.
But these instances, except for the chicken one, all have like.
That's a man who has memory problems who stole a
chicken that's a whole problem has nothing to do with chicken or
stealing there's so many other things that need to be handled before we get
into the why did this guy just steal a chicken that's a larger question right
yeah right yeah but what I what I mean sorry is that the the Ozamatli instance and the billboard instance are both ones where
the
the problem
Becoming a problem is the bad decision made by the person with authority. Yes in the case of the chicken
That's that's not the problem
That connective tissue that you're describing. Sure doesn't really doesn't hold up
Yeah, I mean come on on man, the guy,
the guy didn't mean to steal a chicken.
He doesn't understand the concept.
He absolutely did.
What did he mean to steal it,
but he didn't mean to take that chicken.
No, he totally meant to take that chicken.
But the fact that the man meant to take that chicken
is the problem, not anything else.
But he also.
The reasons behind his thinking are the problem.
Maybe, but once he was informed
that that's someone else's chicken,
he still refused to give it back to them.
Then there's the problem. You you know it may as well have been
stealing from the beginning now we get into trouble to to address it sure so
anyway give it back that chicken we get into the chicken space of a bunch of
charges now they couldn't charge him with stealing a chicken so what they do is
they claim that he didn't follow their orders, that he obstructed
an officer, a failure to follow an officer's order, because he didn't let them in without
a warrant.
See, that's how it works now.
And they got a Supreme Court ruling on last Monday, seven days ago.
The Supreme Court ruled in a Nevada case of an old rancher on the side of the highway
at his own fence, mending a fence.
The police officer pulls up, says, answer my questions, give me your ID. old rancher on the side of the highway at his own offense, bending offense, the police
officer pulls up says, answer my questions, give me your ID and he says son, don't be
rude to me.
You know, I don't have to answer your questions.
I don't have to.
Well, so now you got to have your national ID card, you see, and he was charged and convicted
of obstructing justice and resisting, which would be assault.
And he got convicted of that.
They admit he didn't touch him
then and
this was in the last day of the regional folks
in a headline the road to the police state
he didn't really didn't touch it
but it's now resisting to not
answer their questions
and so that's the same thing now
uh... that uh... that gombos is uh... facing you can read this article
said that they
couldn't charge it was stealing the chicken at the beginning of the clip
But they very much did charge him with say that seems like a third degree theft charge
Yeah, it was it with an Alex is pretending that didn't happen because it works better for this police state
Oh, no, he stole the chicken so then a vada case that Alex is talking about with the Supreme Court decision is
Hable versus 6th District Court of Nevada. That's the decision in play. In that case,
it had nothing to do with the kindly old rancher mending fences and then cops just deciding
to fuck with him. He seemed like such a nice guy in Alex's
telling. He did! Yeah. So there had been a report to the police of a woman being assaulted
and the description of the perpetrator was that he was driving a red and silver GMC truck.
They found a truck fitting that description seemingly hastily pulled over
to the side of the highway and Larry Hybel was outside of it smoking a cigarette.
I didn't hear nobody. Also a young woman was inside the truck. Who's she? This all added up to at
least some very basic suspicion on the officer's part. You guys have been drinking. He wanted some
identification from Hybel who refused to provide it. What? The officer was just trying to get more information,
and Hybel kept repeating, just take me to jail.
And being entirely uncooperative.
Yeah, that sounds right.
When there's something being investigated
and the police have a reasonable suspicion about you,
you are required to identify yourself to them
in the state of Nevada.
That is a law that is on the books in Nevada.
Hybel didn't do that, and he was charged
with obstructing an officer over it
Then he took it all the way to the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court ruled that Nevada's stop and identify law was not unconstitutional
Which has literally zero bearing on how the Oregon police handled a guy who stole a chick
Yeah, that is zero bearing, but they kind of connect on vibes
They can be made to feel like they connected they connect you just you just fudge some details. I I
They can be made to feel like they connected they connect you just you just fudge some details. I I
Genuinely believe that the law should be that if you say to the cops just take me to jail They should have to take you like it should there. Yeah, right like there should be no further need for like
I guess we have no further business here. I should get into your car. You should take me to the police station
We don't need to talk anymore. That's how it works right? That's like the amendment. Where's
like anything you say you know that whole thing. I think sure yeah but what if you just
want to ride? You know like what if you're going somewhere near the police station. Do
they give rides? Well if you're if you or would you commit a crime to get a ride? What
if that guy's car was broken down his truck was broken down and that's why it was hastily
pulled over the road and you know that a cop is not going to voluntarily
give you a ride. Take me to jail. Yeah. Because I need to go to the, the, because across the
street is a great coffee shop or there's a place that I can get it towed. There's a
tow. Yeah. Oh man. And it's 2000. So I have a cell phone. Save you so much money. Exactly.
Yeah. Perfect. Good call. So Gombos's wife is mostly doing this
interview with his wife, Kathy. And so she corrects Alex that how old is Gombos?
Hmm. Then he say he was in Vietnam. Okay. So that should give you some sense. All right.
Anyway, so an old man stole a chick. Yes. Everything you said is the absolute truth
with the exception that the store was closed.
There wasn't anyone around when Nick picked it up.
It was 10 o'clock at night.
I've got three different articles here and I know the news gets up wrong a lot.
I'm trying to go off the newspaper.
My wife talked to you setting up for the show early this morning, but explain to me then
what happened.
Okay.
Nick was coming home from um, Grant's
past, possibly 10 o'clock at night. He stopped and as you said, picked up his weekly nickel
at raised market and he found he saw a chicken underneath some magazines. Um, and he also
saw a box like sleeping under it like a chicken in her hands and her tick and people picked up the baby tick from left
the hen.
Okay, that was what he first bought.
So he looked around to see if there were any baby ticks around and he didn't find any.
So he put the hen in the box and brought it home.
There was no one around to ask if the chicken belonged ticket belong to anybody everything was closed up okay i'm trying
to get out the quote on one of these stories it says that your husband did
though
at that sometime talk to employees and they said it was fine on the part of
my phone following warning after finding out from the neighbor
right chicken looked
similar to one she had been down at raise market okay immediately from the
market to one she had seen down at raised markets okay immediately found the market and I feel like this story should not they shouldn't go further and the
lady or the gentleman that I talked to on it it was a it was a long
conversation but how we have your chicken your chicken! It should be a short conversation! Nah, it's a...
Keep it.
What is anyone doing?
Bring the box back. Keep the chicken. I'll give a shit.
I don't think that happened.
I don't think that even slightly happened.
What are you talking about? Keep the chicken.
I could assume
if it wasn't she, if she wasn't saying it was a
long conversation and that this was the result of it
or the end result of it,
I could see them calling and some low-level employee who didn't know like anything, but it's a small grocery store.
I mean, get the fuck out of here. It'd have to be a small staff, probably.
If it was a long conversation, the conversation was, we're keeping the chicken, and then it ended with, sure, keep the chicken!
And see, I don't think they should have this chicken. I don't think they should have that chicken.
And part of the reason is this next clip, where Kathy is throwing a little shade at the chicken.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
This chicken was not a town celebrity as it's been reported.
This chicken had only been there for three weeks, and no one owns it, and no one even
knows where it came from.
Now, that's the point.
One article they say is celebrity remedy and they found it.
The other articles they say it's not owned.
They catch us in media.
Definitely not owned.
It had only shown up approximately three weeks ago.
Okay well, accelerate through this forest.
Maybe it was a big three weeks.
Wait, so now what's going on?
How is this story not over?
So listen to me.
If this chicken wasn't a publicly known figure to how was her friend able to identify it on site?
It does seem why she's that she called the store the next day after chicken the next all the check it seems suspicious
Doesn't track also. Maybe she was just saying that it wasn't a big so it was like a town D celebrity
You know it wasn't what's it wasn't the town links that thing is fucking right and high
What's the ceiling for a chicken? What's this?
Mike the headless chicken was one of the highest selling different
Okay, also in the article that Alex is using as a source for the male Tribune
Kathy is quoted as saying she and her husband quote were not regular shoppers at the store as a way of claiming
Ignorance that the chicken that they'd taken was the store's
Master. Why did you steal this chicken?
She admits unfamiliarity with Raze as a store and now here she is asserting that the chicken wasn't a local favorite.
I uh-
Curious. It's very curious. I don't understand why this man stole this chicken.
I really don't understand why she is defending stealing the chicken. I am willing to accept the possibility
that he took the chicken in good faith. Sure. Totally. As like
he was concerned about its well being. That's fine. I don't
believe that every action taken after that point. It's all a
problem. Right. Yeah. It's almost like they were like, Oh,
fuck, we're in over our heads. It feels exactly like that. We're going to be exactly like that. Instead of just like, oh fuck we're in over our head. Yeah, it feels exactly like that.
We're going to jail.
It feels exactly like that.
Instead of just like give the chicken back,
everything will be fine.
They feel, yeah, it feels like they're trying to get away
with the chicken for some reason.
Yeah.
And it's like you could just give the chicken back.
Like they accidentally killed someone
and they're engaged in a cover up or something.
Yes, yes.
It's ridiculous.
You took a chicken.
It's just, just give the chicken back. No one's even problem. Yeah, oh man. Okay. So I think that also it's ridiculous. It's just give the chicken back. No problem. Yeah, oh, yeah, okay
So I think that also there's an issue that these people might be a little bit delusional
That's possible
The deputy trip came back and said that my husband was gonna be arrested on felony chicken charges
felony felony not not miss felony chicken charges
chicken
Felonies to I think two felony chicken charges. What is it there? I didn't know this chicken was worth thousands of dollars
No, no, of course not. It's not no it wasn't he's outright lied to us by the way possessions nine-tenths of the law
Chicken I think eventually
Monday's on Fox. Yeah, they think they're gonna. They're gonna get the chicken back. Yeah
How using what laws?
Well, see there is one
Interesting wrinkle to this story and that is in the aftermath of them stealing the chicken
Okay, and this becoming a big public to do I can't there was the the local
animal folks, okay?
Chimed in that it was like this is not
Sanitary or safe thing to have a chicken as a mascot obviously
And so there is maybe a tiny piece of her brain. It's like, you know, maybe you can't go back there
Maybe it'll come with us. Oh my god, but no it said Nick went to jail for a little bit
Yeah, I mean which would not have happened if you just give the chicken
I don't understand see I just that's the thing like I don't understand
Like saving something and then I no I don't get it. I don't get it. I just don't get it
It does I understand why you don't get it and that is what makes you think that maybe you weren't saving it to begin with
Yeah
In a vacuum. I see what Nick did that night.
Sure. Like benevolent. Sure. Sure. But all the actions after it make you think, no, he
was he was putting it inside his coat and running away. I mean, yeah, does he have does
he have like experience as a as a chicken person? Does he like, Oh, uh-huh. This is no
because he had to buy a hen in a rooster to keep the company after the other issue that I'm struggling with.
Is this the first time he's ever even talked to a chicken?
If so, how does he know how the chicken feels about anything?
It's this is what happens when you go back to the past.
I need to know more about this chicken.
There's not much more to know except you died like a month after the murder.
Was it like a beautiful?
Oh, I couldn't find a picture of the bird itself,
but I found a bird like it.
And it's a nice looking bird.
It's a nice looking bird?
Yeah, all right.
Speckled, of course, hence the name.
Naturally.
But yeah, this is-
Real femme fatale.
This is that 2004 shit.
It is nuts.
Just mainline it, man.
So they get-
Just mainline chicken thieves.
They get done with the billboard slash chicken interviews, and Alex decides he's gonna go
to calls, and oh my lord, what a mistake.
Well, I'm not quite sure if this is the right time to talk to you about this, but you know
how the New World Order is always
hiding things in plain view. Sure. Alex? Yes. Well, wife and I watched the movie Willard
last night and at the very last day the main character gets thrown into an insane asylum.
The number on his cell door, 3-911.
In other words, September 11th and March 11th. Yeah, the globalist loved to do that.
Thanks for the call.
Oh, oh, shit.
You get it?
You get that?
Was Willard the one with the guy who controls rats?
Little rats.
Little rats.
Crispin Glover.
Crispin Glover did 9-11 in March.
Is that the conspiracy?
They were predicting predictive program. Any number you see anywhere
means things. Willard came out before 9-11. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Or maybe he's talking
about the original Willard because what wasn't it a remake of a 70s movie? He's talking about
the original Willard. Hey, I'm trying to see. Okay. I think Willard, the other one might
have come out even before 9-11.
All right.
No, Willard was 2003, it looks like.
Ooh.
1971 was the original.
So it's either he watched it in 2003 one and went,
oh, they're gloating and they're laughing at us
by putting this guy into a mental asylum
for thinking that 9-11 was had job that happened inside
March. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, because 3-11 is another terrorist attack.
But look, here's the situation, now we have to wrestle with this. No, hold on. Did the
band do it? Wait, hold on. It can't be predictive programming, because this is a 2004. He is
talking about the 2003 movie. And he's talking about the 2003 movie. I must be after the fact. They're laughing at us.
Or.
Or.
Or what?
In 1971, they predicted 9-11 in this movie.
Okay. That would be, that would be a twist.
30 years in advance.
That would be a solid twist. I'd take that twist.
If Nicholas Cage was playing me in the movie, this would be the point at which you're like,
that's why we hired Nicholas.
Predictive programming doesn't go that far.
I don't think.
That's fair.
Also, this is not the time.
No.
Like, I don't know if this is the time to bring this up.
You just had some pretty heavy chicken stuff going on.
Anyways, time to go.
So we have one last clip.
All right.
And this is, we get back to Canada, getting lured into World War II.
All right.
So there's a little payoff for you.
There's the lighthouse. Okay. I I mean these are the real news articles. This is the real
stuff that's going on. Then there's this article out of the Edmund Journal
out of Canada. Lighthouse attack was staged
by US to trick Canada into war.
And they go through the evidence of the US attacking
the lighthouse to blame it on Japan or Germany
And that was the pretext to get them into the war
There's that article just another example of it. Oh, there's so much of it
So this is ridiculous for a number of reasons first being that the shelling of Estevan Point Lighthouse happened in
1942 and Canada entered World War two in 1939 who they are at E.M. They were they were a little behind America
And this is one of the situations where Alex doesn't understand the conspiracy theories
He's covering because most of his workflow is just skimming headlines on kooky news aggregator sites, right?
The conspiracy here is that the attack was a false flag not to get Canada into World War two
But to make the public supported draft
Alex makes a further problem by saying that the attack was fake to blame Japan or Germany,
where if you had any familiarity with the story at all, you would know that it was just
Japan.
The attack was blamed on Japan because they did it.
Right.
Oh, so they did do it.
They did.
Japan did do the attack.
This is a great encapsulation of most conspiracy theories, where there's basically zero evidence
of something, but you've found a potential motive for a certain act to have been carried out so
you skip over the lack of evidence and you just arrive at the conspiracy
conclusion. Conscription was unpopular in Canada but after this attack on the
lighthouse people were more open to it. Thus it must have been a false flag in
order to sway the public towards conscription.
Probably. Unfortunately for someone like Alex, imagining a motive isn't the same thing as solving a case.
And in this case, there's tons of evidence
that Japan did the attack.
For one, there are pieces of shells
that hit the lighthouse that have been found and are
on display publicly, and they're Japanese.
OK, well, that's probably pretty high evidence.
Second, Japanese military documents
have been discovered that prove that two submarines, the I-25
and I-26
were responsible for the attack as well as one on the American Fort Stevens in Oregon.
They were all on the West Coast. They bombed that shit too.
Fellas, go back home. You're a little bit far.
A little bit far.
So the reason that there's a conspiracy here at all is because of this imagined motive and a single entry in the
then light keepers notes which said that the attack was carried out by warships when in reality
it had been done by submarines. People who want to see a conspiracy insist that the light keeper
must have been right whereas the more likely explanation was offered by Canadian naval
historians Michael Whitby and Bill Rawling in an article in the Ottawa Citizen. The eyewitness testimony cited to support the conspiracy theory in
the article is also flawed. Rather than coolly watching the attack, the
lighthouse keeper ran down the stairs of a 125-foot structure, found his wife to
warn her to take cover, and then ran all the way back up the stairs to douse the
light. Presumably this took some time and effort and impaired his ability to
observe the relatively short attack. As for identifying warship types,
trained military personnel consistently make errors along the lines of aircraft attacking
whales that they take to be submarines. But again, Alex needs to come up with sneaky explanations
for how everyone got tricked into fighting the Nazis. But don't worry, he's not a fan,
he's not a fan of those Nazis. everyone should have been minding their own business
Yeah, I got sucked into a tricked into fighting World War two. It's very weird. I do love a good old-fashioned
But we have one guy's notes
Those are always good. Also. I mean come on man. It's a warship. It's a ship that makes war
I don't know it could be any ship. Hmm. It could be an under ship. It's a warship. It's a ship that makes war. I don't know.
It could be any ship.
It could be an under ship.
It could be an over ship.
No, apparently this guy.
I was shooting bombs at me.
Apparently this guy, in addition to like his note,
he had said it, like he had said other times,
it was a quote.
But I don't, you can't take that as like super credible.
Given the circumstances of.
It's a, I'm under attack. Come on, man.. Yeah, given the circumstances of under attack.
Come on, man.
Under attack, running up and down the lighthouse.
Oh, that's so stupid.
The then technology he would have had to be able to determine what it was.
He goes down, he warns his wife, and then suddenly it stops.
It hits him.
I got to turn the light off and then runs all the way back up
Hmm. Well, you feel for the guy heartbreak exactly that is a comical moment. Yep. So Jordan. Yeah, we've reached the end of this episode
Yeah, and I mean go back the past take me back the past
Oh
Such
limited stakes
You got skeletons of hats
Dealing chickens. I almost forgot how scary the skeletons with fests. You got an angry divorcee putting up signs
It's just everything is
Kind of like I don't want I don't know if this is the right way to put it, but this is fucking Americana
Yeah, it's very news of the world II it is very much like this is what i'm here for
i'm in the checkout line i'm strolling
oh look at this well that's insane
a man stole a chicken all right i'll put
that back
thank you very much and i'm on my day i love
it i love it alex turns it into a show
yeah yeah so i i look forward to uh
going to the past more yeah because this is great
Yeah, yeah the worst the present gets I think we might just find these technically the matrix if we just choose to only cover the
Past as if we lived in it
We need to make some of the podcasting didn't exist in 2004 sure
But I mean that's just radio that we put into a bottle. Sure. And then throw into the ocean. That's the same difference. I really,
I really think you're being bending the rules of the matrix.
Radio. But to be fair, there's no spoon. There is no spoon. So anyway, we'll be back. Okay.
But until then we have website. And do we do it's not all right.com. Yep. We're also
on blue sky. We are on blue sky. It's not all right. Yep. We'll be back. But until then, I'm Leo.
I'm Leo. I'm DZX Clark.
Pour one out for my boy, Speckles.
And now here comes the sex robot.
Andy and Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
So Alex, I'm a first name color.
I'm a huge fan. I love your work.
I love you.
