<v Speaker 3>Thanks for holding.

0:00:49.610 --> 0:00:50.170
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Alex.

0:00:50.270 --> 0:00:51.110
<v Speaker 1>I'm a first-time caller.

0:00:51.150 --> 0:00:51.909
<v Speaker 4>I'm a huge fan.

0:00:51.990 --> 0:00:52.790
<v Speaker 3>I love your work.

0:00:53.190 --> 0:00:53.970
<v Speaker 1>Knowledge fight.

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.020
<v Speaker 2>Knowledgefight.com. I love you.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.380
<v Speaker 5>Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan.

0:01:03.020 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jordan.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.059
<v Speaker 5>We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, worship

0:01:06.100 --> 0:01:08.550
<v Speaker 5>at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about...

0:01:08.810 --> 0:01:09.369
<v Speaker 5>Alex Jones.

0:01:10.010 --> 0:01:11.230
<v Speaker 1>Oh, indeed we are, Dan.

0:01:11.610 --> 0:01:11.940
<v Speaker 5>Jordan.

0:01:12.450 --> 0:01:13.860
<v Speaker 2>Dan! Jordan!

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:15.500
<v Speaker 1>Quick question for you.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.220
<v Speaker 5>What's up?

0:01:16.980 --> 0:01:17.980
<v Speaker 1>What's your bright spot today, buddy?

0:01:18.300 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, I think it's still technically March. And

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.530
<v Speaker 5>we have a tradition that is that I go first

0:01:25.610 --> 0:01:30.190
<v Speaker 5>in March. But I'm going to give that to you.

0:01:30.310 --> 0:01:32.870
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to say you go first because my bright

0:01:32.890 --> 0:01:35.830
<v Speaker 5>spot might be a little bit long and iffy on

0:01:35.860 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 5>the brightness.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:42.940
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's fair, but I mean, traditions, when broken, tend

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 4>to anger some sort of god of some sort or other.

0:01:45.970 --> 0:01:48.830
<v Speaker 1>So you're taking our lives into your own hand.

0:01:49.410 --> 0:01:50.230
<v Speaker 2>All right, then I'll go first.

0:01:50.250 --> 0:01:50.790
<v Speaker 3>I'll go first.

0:01:50.850 --> 0:01:51.410
<v Speaker 5>You've convinced me.

0:01:51.410 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Cthulhu will not be a problem. My bright spot is,

0:01:53.870 --> 0:01:55.610
<v Speaker 4>real quick, opening day baseball.

0:01:55.670 --> 0:01:55.950
<v Speaker 1>Done.

0:01:56.050 --> 0:01:56.850
<v Speaker 5>Hell yeah. Moving on.

0:01:56.870 --> 0:01:57.050
<v Speaker 2>Next.

0:01:57.190 --> 0:01:57.740
<v Speaker 5>Crack of the bat.

0:01:57.750 --> 0:02:00.410
<v Speaker 1>Next bright spot. Next bright spot. Moving on.

0:02:00.930 --> 0:02:03.630
<v Speaker 5>Have you gotten to watch any games yet?

0:02:04.490 --> 0:02:04.590
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:02:05.630 --> 0:02:06.690
<v Speaker 5>So that's still coming.

0:02:06.970 --> 0:02:11.450
<v Speaker 1>It only gets brighter. Today's just the day it starts.

0:02:12.050 --> 0:02:16.250
<v Speaker 5>Nice, nice. Well, my bright spot has to do with

0:02:16.290 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 5>my continuing journey, my road adventures. Last we spoke, I

0:02:21.860 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 5>had gone to see a tiger and ended up at

0:02:26.020 --> 0:02:30.940
<v Speaker 5>a casino. And then I took on the next leg

0:02:30.980 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 5>of the trip and It has been a huge mistake.

0:02:36.419 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 5>And in order to explain to you why this is

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.910
<v Speaker 5>a huge mistake, I'm going to send you a picture

0:02:41.260 --> 0:02:43.890
<v Speaker 5>and I'd like you to try to describe for the

0:02:43.930 --> 0:02:45.730
<v Speaker 5>listeners what you were seeing.

0:02:46.710 --> 0:02:47.050
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:02:47.870 --> 0:02:49.050
<v Speaker 5>All right. The picture is sent.

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 4>Uh, this is, uh, well, it's Santa Claus next to

0:02:54.980 --> 0:02:58.780
<v Speaker 4>an American flag once and for all that Santa Claus

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 4>is a jingoistic monster.

0:03:00.650 --> 0:03:03.290
<v Speaker 5>But also what would you say Santa's doing? What does

0:03:03.310 --> 0:03:05.010
<v Speaker 5>it look like he's doing in that picture?

0:03:06.169 --> 0:03:07.910
<v Speaker 1>Um, I mean, it looks a little bit like he's

0:03:07.930 --> 0:03:08.530
<v Speaker 1>taking a shit.

0:03:09.830 --> 0:03:10.530
<v Speaker 5>With his arm.

0:03:10.570 --> 0:03:12.889
<v Speaker 4>And it looks like his arm is supposed to be

0:03:12.970 --> 0:03:16.450
<v Speaker 4>wrapped around somebody. So it's like, okay, so you're supposed

0:03:16.490 --> 0:03:19.450
<v Speaker 4>to stand up there and you're going to nestle into

0:03:19.490 --> 0:03:21.010
<v Speaker 4>the crook of Santa's arm.

0:03:21.340 --> 0:03:22.350
<v Speaker 5>No, it's too big.

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.180
<v Speaker 1>No, but he's like eight feet tall.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.540
<v Speaker 5>It's way too big.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>No, you could not wrestle. So he's doing a Hitler salute.

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>He's doing a Nazi Hitler salute. That's what he's doing.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.300
<v Speaker 1>There's no other way to describe it. Except it's not

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.310
<v Speaker 1>going forward. It's like he's doing a Nazi salute at

0:03:37.430 --> 0:03:38.010
<v Speaker 1>four o'clock.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 5>It still has that same feeling. That's what it felt

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.630
<v Speaker 5>like when I saw this big statue. We will post

0:03:48.670 --> 0:03:52.110
<v Speaker 5>a picture of it so everyone can enjoy. But the

0:03:52.170 --> 0:03:55.150
<v Speaker 5>next leg of the trip was I decided to go

0:03:55.270 --> 0:04:00.850
<v Speaker 5>to Santa Claus, Indiana. There's a town called Santa Claus.

0:04:01.250 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 5>And I thought, how fucking fun would it be to

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.580
<v Speaker 5>be in Santa Claus in March? Yeah.

0:04:08.220 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Woohoo!

0:04:11.330 --> 0:04:16.089
<v Speaker 5>I really overestimated the novelty value of what would be

0:04:16.130 --> 0:04:18.210
<v Speaker 5>going down here and how it would feel.

0:04:19.270 --> 0:04:19.830
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:20.589 --> 0:04:24.739
<v Speaker 5>I ended up deciding I was going to stay for

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 5>a whole day here, and that is such, such a

0:04:30.140 --> 0:04:34.310
<v Speaker 5>fucking mistake. I've wanted to leave almost since I got here.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.380
<v Speaker 1>Go, then go, leave now. You don't have to stay.

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.460
<v Speaker 1>You have a car, you have a credit card.

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Go somewhere and then throw your car in the ground.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter, leave.

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, I rationalized that there's still some stuff to see

0:04:50.820 --> 0:04:54.060
<v Speaker 5>around town. And so I would take in as much

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.580
<v Speaker 5>as I could. And then I also have a few

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.539
<v Speaker 5>chores to do, like doing laundry and stuff. So why

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 5>not make the most of a bad situation? Like this

0:05:02.660 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 5>is a little bit of a speed bump, a little hurdle,

0:05:05.260 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 5>but it's not too bad. So I'm living in that.

0:05:08.980 --> 0:05:12.140
<v Speaker 1>I propose a new word. I call it irrationalize.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 4>It's whenever you say some stuff to justify doing ridiculous things,

0:05:16.380 --> 0:05:17.540
<v Speaker 4>but then call it normal.

0:05:18.180 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Possibly. That possibly is what's going on.

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.370
<v Speaker 1>Okay, there we go.

0:05:22.790 --> 0:05:27.170
<v Speaker 5>If I didn't irrationalize, then I wouldn't have gotten to

0:05:28.210 --> 0:05:31.610
<v Speaker 5>try and take a wonderful little walk down the trail

0:05:31.790 --> 0:05:38.110
<v Speaker 5>here to Christmas Lake. There's a lake. There's a lovely

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:44.670
<v Speaker 5>Christmas Lake. Jordan is nodding. I was not allowed to

0:05:44.710 --> 0:05:49.150
<v Speaker 5>go to Christmas Lake because on the trail there, it's

0:05:49.330 --> 0:05:52.090
<v Speaker 5>a gated community and there's a guard house with a

0:05:52.110 --> 0:05:58.830
<v Speaker 5>Santa outside telling you no foreigners, no weirdos, no pedestrian traffic.

0:05:58.970 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 5>Don't walk past this place.

0:06:00.150 --> 0:06:00.330
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry?

0:06:01.170 --> 0:06:02.250
<v Speaker 1>There's a guardhouse?

0:06:02.410 --> 0:06:05.980
<v Speaker 4>They force a Santa Claus to live in a guardhouse?

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.180
<v Speaker 5>My man, there is Santas everywhere.

0:06:09.620 --> 0:06:10.900
<v Speaker 1>It's fucking annoying.

0:06:12.060 --> 0:06:15.380
<v Speaker 4>That is a metaphor for something about how they view

0:06:15.580 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 4>American culture and the way that it absorbs any kind

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.890
<v Speaker 4>of holiday and turns it into some sort of prison guard, essentially.

0:06:23.370 --> 0:06:27.330
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's the way that Santa feels. It feels paternal.

0:06:27.510 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 5>It feels like he's watching you. You know, in an Elfin,

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.260
<v Speaker 5>a Shelfian kind of vibe.

0:06:34.500 --> 0:06:38.130
<v Speaker 1>And it's unsettling. I don't like this town at all.

0:06:38.650 --> 0:06:41.090
<v Speaker 5>So I didn't make it over to Christmas Lake, but

0:06:41.250 --> 0:06:44.409
<v Speaker 5>I did walk along the trail as much as I could.

0:06:45.070 --> 0:06:48.070
<v Speaker 5>And I found a signpost that told the story of

0:06:48.150 --> 0:06:52.500
<v Speaker 5>how this town came to be, which is obviously a

0:06:53.260 --> 0:06:56.500
<v Speaker 5>big part of my curiosity. Like, why the fuck is

0:06:56.540 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 5>there a town called Santa Claus in the middle of Indiana?

0:07:00.310 --> 0:07:00.650
<v Speaker 3>Why?

0:07:02.610 --> 0:07:06.110
<v Speaker 5>And it turns out that some people came over here.

0:07:07.050 --> 0:07:10.350
<v Speaker 5>They wanted to name the town Santa Fe, but that

0:07:10.390 --> 0:07:14.860
<v Speaker 5>was taken. There's already a Santa Fe, Indiana. And so

0:07:14.900 --> 0:07:17.940
<v Speaker 5>the legend has it that there was a town meeting

0:07:17.980 --> 0:07:22.900
<v Speaker 5>going on on Christmas or near Christmas or something about

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.300
<v Speaker 5>what to name the town. And some kids yelled Santa Claus.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.370
<v Speaker 5>And so they decided to do it. And I don't

0:07:29.410 --> 0:07:30.290
<v Speaker 5>think that's true.

0:07:32.100 --> 0:07:35.980
<v Speaker 4>No, that, well, I mean, either way, whether that's true

0:07:36.220 --> 0:07:38.580
<v Speaker 4>or not, that people want it to be true makes

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 4>me want to burn the entire town to the ground.

0:07:40.460 --> 0:07:44.340
<v Speaker 4>So apologies to the people of Santa Claus, but luckily

0:07:44.460 --> 0:07:46.140
<v Speaker 4>I will never set foot in Indiana.

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.290
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise, that city is going down.

0:07:50.030 --> 0:07:52.929
<v Speaker 5>I think that the people here have been very nice,

0:07:53.250 --> 0:07:57.210
<v Speaker 5>and I got no qualms with them for the most part,

0:07:57.230 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 5>and you shouldn't burn their city down. But the premise,

0:08:01.460 --> 0:08:08.710
<v Speaker 5>the premise. So the town grew from the post office, right?

0:08:09.150 --> 0:08:12.830
<v Speaker 5>And so this weird guy decided, hey, we're going to

0:08:12.850 --> 0:08:16.550
<v Speaker 5>name our town Santa Claus. Why not answer kids mail?

0:08:17.130 --> 0:08:20.860
<v Speaker 5>Like mail from kids who like write to Santa. Why

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.860
<v Speaker 5>not answer back? And so they started doing that. And

0:08:23.900 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 5>then some weird guy built a water park here that's

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:32.340
<v Speaker 5>Santa themed and a candy castle. And yeah, and now.

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 4>It's- You're sentencing these peoples to worse and worse fates.

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.970
<v Speaker 4>With more description, more tragedy will befall them because of

0:08:41.020 --> 0:08:43.790
<v Speaker 4>the sins that they are committing and have committed.

0:08:44.850 --> 0:08:46.369
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.

0:08:46.390 --> 0:08:51.130
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's their forefathers, really, in the postal service that

0:08:51.190 --> 0:08:55.210
<v Speaker 5>have done all that. The one thing I've noticed, I've

0:08:55.250 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 5>talked to some people And one of the things that

0:08:58.660 --> 0:09:04.510
<v Speaker 5>I've noticed is, um, there, there's a weird response that

0:09:04.830 --> 0:09:08.150
<v Speaker 5>people have to being asked, what's it like to be

0:09:08.190 --> 0:09:11.709
<v Speaker 5>around like this, to live here? There are Santas everywhere.

0:09:12.370 --> 0:09:14.929
<v Speaker 5>Like all of the poles in the street are like

0:09:15.030 --> 0:09:19.459
<v Speaker 5>painted like candy canes. Every store is named after fucking Santa.

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.699
<v Speaker 5>The streets are named after reindeer.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:23.540
<v Speaker 2>It's, it's crazy.

0:09:24.580 --> 0:09:29.370
<v Speaker 5>Um, And there's an incredulousness. There's a, eh, you get

0:09:29.490 --> 0:09:34.290
<v Speaker 5>used to it. It's followed by a, but the Christmas

0:09:34.380 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 5>music gets old, you know? And I think that that

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.340
<v Speaker 5>touches on the more sincere feeling that I'm picking up

0:09:42.420 --> 0:09:46.330
<v Speaker 5>on this town. There's a denial about how weird this

0:09:46.470 --> 0:09:49.590
<v Speaker 5>is and how not right it is. And the people

0:09:49.630 --> 0:09:53.849
<v Speaker 5>who have to grow up living in Santa Claus, I

0:09:53.890 --> 0:09:55.949
<v Speaker 5>don't know. There's a quiet anger.

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>You're right.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm surprised the city's still standing for me to burn down.

0:10:02.980 --> 0:10:03.860
<v Speaker 1>That's the shocker.

0:10:04.179 --> 0:10:06.860
<v Speaker 4>The shocker is that I would have to, as an outsider,

0:10:06.900 --> 0:10:09.930
<v Speaker 4>do it, whereas it feels like a homegrown burning city

0:10:09.970 --> 0:10:11.970
<v Speaker 4>to the ground is on the horizon.

0:10:12.410 --> 0:10:14.310
<v Speaker 5>Oh, it seems due. It seems due.

0:10:14.490 --> 0:10:14.630
<v Speaker 6>Overdue.

0:10:16.860 --> 0:10:20.260
<v Speaker 4>Like the super volcano under Yosemite. That shit's gotta blow.

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:10:21.179 --> 0:10:23.940
<v Speaker 5>Like you just think that there has to, there's enough

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.540
<v Speaker 5>people in this town. It's not tiny. There's, there's enough

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.250
<v Speaker 5>people that there's gotta be some like punk rebellious kids

0:10:31.490 --> 0:10:35.689
<v Speaker 5>that have like grown up here. And I, yeah, I, I,

0:10:37.030 --> 0:10:38.910
<v Speaker 5>I guess everyone just leaves. I guess they just.

0:10:38.809 --> 0:10:41.660
<v Speaker 1>Head to the coast. They move fucking two miles away

0:10:41.700 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to Halloween town for God's sakes. Jesus Christ.

0:10:44.780 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 2>These people.

0:10:45.990 --> 0:10:47.150
<v Speaker 1>Get the fuck out of here.

0:10:47.170 --> 0:10:50.230
<v Speaker 5>If there was a Halloween town, I would probably be

0:10:50.270 --> 0:10:52.710
<v Speaker 5>there instead. It would be more fun. I know. It

0:10:52.750 --> 0:10:53.170
<v Speaker 5>would be.

0:10:53.330 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 4>That's why you make a Halloween town and not towns

0:10:55.860 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 4>named Santa Claus.

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Yep, yep.

0:10:58.780 --> 0:11:03.140
<v Speaker 5>So, Jordan, today we've got a bit of an episode

0:11:03.980 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 5>to do. Just because I'm on this adventure doesn't mean

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.550
<v Speaker 5>that the work doesn't continue. We have to balance the

0:11:13.650 --> 0:11:18.689
<v Speaker 5>fun of... disappointing towns in Indiana with the podcast.

0:11:18.710 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 4>I feel like this is where the word irrationalized comes

0:11:22.020 --> 0:11:22.420
<v Speaker 4>in heavy.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:23.620
<v Speaker 2>Sure, sure.

0:11:25.170 --> 0:11:28.110
<v Speaker 1>Travel. See. Leave Santa Claus.

0:11:28.290 --> 0:11:28.829
<v Speaker 7>Go!

0:11:29.410 --> 0:11:32.750
<v Speaker 5>I'm leaving tomorrow. It's fine. By the time this episode

0:11:32.790 --> 0:11:34.709
<v Speaker 5>comes out, Santa Claus will be a distant memory.

0:11:34.730 --> 0:11:36.690
<v Speaker 4>You don't know that. You don't know that. If you

0:11:36.710 --> 0:11:39.050
<v Speaker 4>don't leave now, you don't know if you're ever leaving.

0:11:39.130 --> 0:11:40.670
<v Speaker 4>That's the power of Santa Claus.

0:11:40.980 --> 0:11:43.420
<v Speaker 5>Jordan, I've got to do laundry. The place I'm staying

0:11:43.460 --> 0:11:45.020
<v Speaker 5>has a hot tub. I'll be fine.

0:11:45.059 --> 0:11:46.939
<v Speaker 1>All right. Fine. Fine.

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.220
<v Speaker 5>I sat in the hot tub for a second last night,

0:11:51.860 --> 0:11:55.540
<v Speaker 5>and no globalists showed up. but a pack of kids did.

0:11:56.260 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 5>And so I just left. I was just like, I'm not, no.

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.059
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, we got an episode to do. And I

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.069
<v Speaker 5>think that the reason that we got to do this

0:12:05.450 --> 0:12:09.810
<v Speaker 5>is we've done episodes about Alex going on like Tim

0:12:09.830 --> 0:12:14.710
<v Speaker 5>pool and almost dying. And then he was gone and

0:12:14.970 --> 0:12:20.350
<v Speaker 5>he's back. He's risen. Alex is back in studio. All right.

0:12:21.150 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 5>On the 25th, on Wednesday, he made his, I don't

0:12:24.980 --> 0:12:28.580
<v Speaker 5>know about triumphant, but he made his return to the studio.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 5>So it feels like we got a.

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.260
<v Speaker 1>I imagine it was haggard.

0:12:34.540 --> 0:12:36.300
<v Speaker 5>You know what? It was better than you'd think.

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 7>Huh?

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.380
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, that's a low bar.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:40.820
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:12:41.020 --> 0:12:43.260
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean, you'd think real bad. And it was

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:43.740
<v Speaker 5>just bad.

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:12:45.620 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, good for him. It made me feel like maybe

0:12:48.900 --> 0:12:52.059
<v Speaker 5>he's had some time to dry out, you know? And

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 5>that's done him wonders.

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't hurt. Couldn't hurt.

0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 5>So he comes back to the studio and he still

0:13:01.380 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 5>has essentially a lot of the same problems that he

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 5>would have had if he hadn't taken those times off.

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.070
<v Speaker 5>Like the fact that Trump is clearly pursuing a war

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.330
<v Speaker 5>with Iran. And so he tries to deal with that

0:13:15.790 --> 0:13:16.450
<v Speaker 5>as he begins.

0:13:17.770 --> 0:13:21.429
<v Speaker 3>Well, I really hate to say I told you so.

0:13:22.900 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>But I did.

0:13:23.380 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 3>It's Wednesday, March 25th, 2026. I'm your host, Alex Jones,

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 3>coming to you from deep in the heart of Texas,

0:13:33.050 --> 0:13:39.150
<v Speaker 3>broadcasting worldwide. And everything that I warned about and that

0:13:39.170 --> 0:13:43.130
<v Speaker 3>I predicted and that I said would happen when Trump

0:13:43.170 --> 0:13:46.030
<v Speaker 3>and Israel attacked Iran.

0:13:45.660 --> 0:13:49.020
<v Speaker 2>Is now happening exactly as I said.

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.890
<v Speaker 3>Now, Some of my predictions are really amazing, and I'm

0:13:54.910 --> 0:13:57.370
<v Speaker 3>the only one to make them, and they're hole in one.

0:13:57.490 --> 0:13:59.510
<v Speaker 3>Just very proud of them. A lot of research, a

0:13:59.510 --> 0:14:02.170
<v Speaker 3>lot of prayer, a lot of dedication to make a

0:14:02.190 --> 0:14:06.390
<v Speaker 3>lot of my predictions. This one was absolutely the easiest

0:14:06.429 --> 0:14:07.260
<v Speaker 3>prediction ever to make.

0:14:07.780 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 5>I guess you can say that Alex predicted that it

0:14:09.940 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 5>would probably go bad if Trump attacked Iran, but this

0:14:12.780 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 5>is window dressing over the larger problem. One of the

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 5>major premises of the argument for supporting Trump was that

0:14:18.970 --> 0:14:21.470
<v Speaker 5>the globalists were going to attack Iran to start World

0:14:21.490 --> 0:14:24.890
<v Speaker 5>War III, And the implication of that argument is that

0:14:25.030 --> 0:14:29.130
<v Speaker 5>Alex is predicting that Trump would not attack Iran. It's

0:14:29.250 --> 0:14:31.870
<v Speaker 5>easy to predict that Trump attacking Iran wouldn't go well,

0:14:31.950 --> 0:14:34.390
<v Speaker 5>so no one's getting any points for that. But it's

0:14:34.430 --> 0:14:37.330
<v Speaker 5>important to understand that we only have to try to

0:14:37.370 --> 0:14:40.710
<v Speaker 5>predict how attacking Iran is going to go because Alex

0:14:40.750 --> 0:14:45.050
<v Speaker 5>got the last very major prediction wrong. He's patting himself

0:14:45.130 --> 0:14:47.410
<v Speaker 5>on the back for this prediction, but part of why

0:14:47.450 --> 0:14:49.500
<v Speaker 5>he's doing that is to distract people from noticing that

0:14:49.700 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 5>that it's actually a giant blow to his credibility that

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:57.420
<v Speaker 5>this conversation's even happening. That's a shell game.

0:14:57.500 --> 0:15:00.290
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I predicted that this fire was going to burn

0:15:00.350 --> 0:15:02.850
<v Speaker 4>my hand, and that was a really good prediction. That

0:15:02.870 --> 0:15:05.710
<v Speaker 4>was fucking the best prediction I've ever had. I should

0:15:05.730 --> 0:15:08.410
<v Speaker 4>have predicted that the fire was going to show up.

0:15:08.650 --> 0:15:11.230
<v Speaker 4>That was the one that I missed. If I had

0:15:11.430 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 4>predicted the fire, I wouldn't have put my hand in.

0:15:13.390 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 5>It would have been nice if I predicted that this

0:15:15.700 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 5>arsonist would start a fire.

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>That would have been a hell of a prediction. That

0:15:21.580 --> 0:15:23.220
<v Speaker 1>would have been a good one. Could have used that

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:24.980
<v Speaker 1>one further down the road.

0:15:25.300 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Sure, sure. Keeps your hands safe a little bit, you know?

0:15:28.740 --> 0:15:29.380
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 5>So Alex is talking about how he told everyone that

0:15:35.340 --> 0:15:37.980
<v Speaker 5>this shit wasn't going to go well. And they all

0:15:38.060 --> 0:15:41.020
<v Speaker 5>called him a fear monger. They all said he's a

0:15:41.140 --> 0:15:43.140
<v Speaker 5>fear monger. But no, he's not. He's right.

0:15:43.860 --> 0:15:45.540
<v Speaker 3>What did I tell you two weeks ago? I said,

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.340
<v Speaker 3>you hear the 82nd Airborne canceled its normal drills? I

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.500
<v Speaker 3>made some phone calls, and I said, they're being geared

0:15:51.540 --> 0:15:53.820
<v Speaker 3>up to be sent over there. Oh, shut up, Jones.

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.660
<v Speaker 3>You're a fear monger, the neocon said. This isn't escalating.

0:15:56.850 --> 0:16:01.550
<v Speaker 3>It's not even a war. Oh, 82nd Airborne going to

0:16:01.570 --> 0:16:06.930
<v Speaker 3>take the Strait of Hormuz. Oh, Marine Expeditionary Force. That

0:16:06.990 --> 0:16:09.510
<v Speaker 3>I told you they'd send, that they started to send eight,

0:16:09.530 --> 0:16:11.850
<v Speaker 3>nine days ago, which they did. You said, well, it's

0:16:11.890 --> 0:16:15.490
<v Speaker 3>not for that. Oh, it's for that. I mean, it's

0:16:15.510 --> 0:16:20.180
<v Speaker 3>just crazy how I just look at what something is

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.740
<v Speaker 3>and report it. And then everybody on the left and right,

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.260
<v Speaker 3>on whatever side they're on, just disagrees with something if

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:28.100
<v Speaker 3>they don't like it.

0:16:28.860 --> 0:16:30.570
<v Speaker 2>They must be hellish to live like that.

0:16:31.550 --> 0:16:33.490
<v Speaker 3>Like to think about something and say, well, I'm going

0:16:33.510 --> 0:16:34.670
<v Speaker 3>to say what I want it to be.

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 2>That ain't the way the world works, sweetheart. You want

0:16:38.620 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>to know what's coming next? I'll tell you. And it

0:16:40.860 --> 0:16:43.900
<v Speaker 2>ain't good. We don't have long for Trump to pull

0:16:43.940 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 2>his dick out of this beehive.

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.230
<v Speaker 5>Trump's fucking a beehive.

0:16:48.330 --> 0:16:52.790
<v Speaker 4>He was the one who told us a while back that.

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 4>This is how things were because that's how he wanted

0:16:55.710 --> 0:16:58.270
<v Speaker 4>them to be. And now we're here because of the

0:16:58.310 --> 0:17:01.490
<v Speaker 4>things that he is saying that sweethearts are at fault for.

0:17:01.750 --> 0:17:03.570
<v Speaker 1>This is his own fault. Sweetheart.

0:17:04.350 --> 0:17:06.689
<v Speaker 5>So this is all great that Alex is doing, but

0:17:06.750 --> 0:17:08.870
<v Speaker 5>you can tell by how he's talking, even in this

0:17:08.930 --> 0:17:12.710
<v Speaker 5>supposedly fired up clip that he's he desperately wants to

0:17:12.730 --> 0:17:15.510
<v Speaker 5>believe that there's still some way to continue supporting Trump.

0:17:16.350 --> 0:17:19.830
<v Speaker 5>If he stops fucking that beehive, then Alex thinks things

0:17:19.869 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 5>can go back to normal. But that's delusional. By Alex's

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 5>own words and standards, Trump has flagrantly violated the Constitution

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.980
<v Speaker 5>and launched illegal wars. He's not only disqualified from being

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.719
<v Speaker 5>our leader, but he probably needs to be tried for treason.

0:17:34.850 --> 0:17:37.690
<v Speaker 5>Alex is complaining there about how everyone calls him a

0:17:37.750 --> 0:17:40.609
<v Speaker 5>fearmonger or whatever, but that's really just a reflection of

0:17:40.650 --> 0:17:44.590
<v Speaker 5>how his entire ecosystem and everyone he's arguing with, they're

0:17:44.710 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 5>just idiots. I think the right-wing political space has been

0:17:48.580 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 5>so overtaken by Twitter and weird opportunists that it's basically

0:17:52.340 --> 0:17:56.379
<v Speaker 5>disconnected from the real world entirely. He's right to be

0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 5>upset and frustrated about the bottom-of-the-barrel commentators he's arguing with online,

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.020
<v Speaker 5>but he should recognize that he started that, and he

0:18:04.060 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 5>inspired probably 90% of them, employed some of them, elevated

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.899
<v Speaker 5>all of them. Like, that's why he's rich.

0:18:14.460 --> 0:18:14.860
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.570
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it does bring to the question of, like, I

0:18:19.590 --> 0:18:23.389
<v Speaker 4>don't want to be conspiratorial, but it feels like whenever

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.740
<v Speaker 4>I look around, I'm seeing nobody being stoked. Right. But.

0:18:29.130 --> 0:18:32.390
<v Speaker 4>He's still there. So somebody has to be stoked. Somebody

0:18:32.430 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 4>has to be real happy with the job that he's doing. Otherwise,

0:18:36.780 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 4>I feel like we're we're in like old timey volcano

0:18:42.140 --> 0:18:45.010
<v Speaker 4>tribe area where it's like, oh, the leader of the

0:18:45.050 --> 0:18:47.250
<v Speaker 4>tribe is not doing so well. It's like, hey, surprise.

0:18:47.570 --> 0:18:48.929
<v Speaker 4>God said we need to throw the leader of the

0:18:48.950 --> 0:18:51.409
<v Speaker 4>tribe of the volcano. It's so crazy how that happened.

0:18:51.670 --> 0:18:52.310
<v Speaker 1>He sucks.

0:18:52.750 --> 0:18:54.830
<v Speaker 4>And God was like, let's throw him in the volcano.

0:18:54.910 --> 0:18:56.810
<v Speaker 4>And then we all just did it. And now we've

0:18:56.850 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 4>got a new leader.

0:18:57.670 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>No big deal. No harm, no foul. God's great like that.

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.540
<v Speaker 5>We've got to throw Trump on the burning pile of

0:19:04.619 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 5>Santas that Jordan has started in the middle of Indiana.

0:19:07.300 --> 0:19:10.180
<v Speaker 4>I mean, once you start with Santa Claus, it all

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.980
<v Speaker 4>falls like a domino after that.

0:19:13.500 --> 0:19:17.660
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, I don't know exactly why the... that

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.310
<v Speaker 5>dynamic is what it feels like. But I agree with you. Like,

0:19:20.390 --> 0:19:24.780
<v Speaker 5>no one seems like they're into this. Like everything seems

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.139
<v Speaker 5>bad and weird and, and would be better.

0:19:28.220 --> 0:19:30.700
<v Speaker 1>But the thing that people are like, Oh, this would

0:19:30.740 --> 0:19:33.160
<v Speaker 1>cause it. So right. Oh, naturally, you know, you don't

0:19:33.180 --> 0:19:36.149
<v Speaker 1>like your bad leader. So, but you don't overthrow him

0:19:36.170 --> 0:19:37.810
<v Speaker 1>because that would cause too much chaos.

0:19:38.150 --> 0:19:41.469
<v Speaker 4>It feels like overthrowing this, this guy would be like, Oh,

0:19:41.530 --> 0:19:44.230
<v Speaker 4>finally we can all just like close our eyes, pretend

0:19:44.250 --> 0:19:46.830
<v Speaker 4>the last 10 years didn't happen. And then we have

0:19:46.869 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 4>fucking regular roads again. Like this is not commonplace. This

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.260
<v Speaker 4>guy is the problem. There's no situation that is more

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:56.620
<v Speaker 4>chaotic without him.

0:19:57.980 --> 0:19:58.220
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:19:58.330 --> 0:20:00.550
<v Speaker 5>It feels like normally you would be like, well, we

0:20:00.570 --> 0:20:03.230
<v Speaker 5>want to keep a check on, you know, some level

0:20:03.250 --> 0:20:05.850
<v Speaker 5>of stability, but it seems like the reason that we're

0:20:05.869 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 5>all mad is because everything is fucking unstable and And

0:20:09.740 --> 0:20:11.379
<v Speaker 5>going all over the place.

0:20:11.420 --> 0:20:11.700
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 5>At the same time, like you kind of like Alex's

0:20:16.140 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 5>point is fair. It's not earned and I don't care

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 5>about it from him, but he's arguing with a bunch

0:20:22.540 --> 0:20:23.340
<v Speaker 5>of fucking idiots.

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:23.620
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.420
<v Speaker 5>Like he's one of them. He's chief idiot, but he's,

0:20:27.859 --> 0:20:29.500
<v Speaker 5>he's right. These other people suck.

0:20:30.100 --> 0:20:30.419
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:31.330 --> 0:20:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:33.220
<v Speaker 5>What are you going to do?

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.270
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's, here's the thing.

0:20:35.290 --> 0:20:37.810
<v Speaker 4>Like, I feel like everybody's kind of an idiot.

0:20:38.190 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>If they're arguing about something right now.

0:20:40.740 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.859
<v Speaker 4>Like if somebody if somebody is arguing about the finer

0:20:43.900 --> 0:20:47.540
<v Speaker 4>points of like a law that was just passed, I

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.150
<v Speaker 4>feel like they're missing. That's kind of idiotic, too.

0:20:50.390 --> 0:20:53.909
<v Speaker 1>Like we got there's a more immediate emergency kind of.

0:20:55.390 --> 0:20:55.730
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:20:56.050 --> 0:20:56.330
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:20:56.510 --> 0:20:59.990
<v Speaker 5>It's not it's not wrong to care. Right. But there's

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.669
<v Speaker 5>a there's a there's a fire. Right. Right. So Alex

0:21:05.190 --> 0:21:09.119
<v Speaker 5>laments that he's taking the position that he's taking and

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.179
<v Speaker 5>that people are just going to say that he's an

0:21:11.340 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 5>Iranian sympathizer.

0:21:13.020 --> 0:21:14.630
<v Speaker 3>And I tell you, we're live right now on radio

0:21:14.650 --> 0:21:16.290
<v Speaker 3>stations across the country and on the X at Real

0:21:16.350 --> 0:21:18.649
<v Speaker 3>Alex Jones, on Rumble, the Alex Jones channel. I guarantee

0:21:18.690 --> 0:21:20.810
<v Speaker 3>you when we take this clip of the show out,

0:21:20.850 --> 0:21:22.230
<v Speaker 3>we take clips from the whole thing.

0:21:23.830 --> 0:21:26.609
<v Speaker 2>And post it. Go there this afternoon. We post the

0:21:26.650 --> 0:21:27.390
<v Speaker 2>clip from the live show.

0:21:27.730 --> 0:21:31.580
<v Speaker 3>You'll see half the comments, talk show hosts, influencers, you

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:37.820
<v Speaker 3>name it, saying, look at this Iranian traitor. He says

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:44.230
<v Speaker 3>that Iran's thumbing their nose at us. He's for them.

0:21:44.650 --> 0:21:45.530
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's crazy.

0:21:45.890 --> 0:21:46.510
<v Speaker 5>It is crazy.

0:21:46.850 --> 0:21:47.390
<v Speaker 1>That is crazy.

0:21:47.410 --> 0:21:51.380
<v Speaker 5>So this is a direct result of Alex's career and influence.

0:21:52.020 --> 0:21:55.060
<v Speaker 5>Those influencers and talk show hosts are all idiots who

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.239
<v Speaker 5>no one should take seriously, but a lot of them

0:21:57.260 --> 0:22:01.190
<v Speaker 5>were elevated by formally being associated with InfoWars, and even

0:22:01.230 --> 0:22:04.429
<v Speaker 5>the ones who weren't greatly benefited from Alex blurring the

0:22:04.470 --> 0:22:08.950
<v Speaker 5>lines between what news and commentary even was. Like, what's

0:22:08.970 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 5>the difference between sincere criticism and emotional outburst? He made

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:15.820
<v Speaker 5>it all the same.

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 5>Alex gets abused in the comments of every post he

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.420
<v Speaker 5>makes because he created an environment where that was normal.

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.290
<v Speaker 5>He hired Owen Schroyer, the cuck destroyer, because he liked

0:22:27.310 --> 0:22:30.810
<v Speaker 5>how he was mean at protests. He constantly elevated and

0:22:30.850 --> 0:22:34.429
<v Speaker 5>pretended to respect deeply abusive people and trolls when he

0:22:34.450 --> 0:22:36.310
<v Speaker 5>thought that there was an upside in it for him.

0:22:37.050 --> 0:22:39.610
<v Speaker 5>That was the easiest route he had to attract attention,

0:22:39.650 --> 0:22:41.710
<v Speaker 5>so that's what he did, and now that's the bet

0:22:41.730 --> 0:22:44.619
<v Speaker 5>he's made for himself. The end of his career is

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.620
<v Speaker 5>going to be filled with people that should be giving

0:22:46.660 --> 0:22:50.239
<v Speaker 5>him a hero's send-off, yelling dumb shit at him on

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:56.690
<v Speaker 5>social media, and it's well-deserved. Everyone should be, like, making

0:22:56.730 --> 0:23:00.810
<v Speaker 5>him a cake. You're going out of business. Here's to you.

0:23:01.109 --> 0:23:06.830
<v Speaker 5>Vaya con Dios. We're only alive because of you. And instead,

0:23:06.850 --> 0:23:08.330
<v Speaker 5>they're like, you fucking Iranian.

0:23:08.930 --> 0:23:11.670
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, in a way, if you, you know,

0:23:11.850 --> 0:23:15.530
<v Speaker 4>it's like, yes, we are in this world that you created.

0:23:15.990 --> 0:23:18.580
<v Speaker 4>So you have responsibility. And so, you know, but at

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:22.250
<v Speaker 4>the same time, this world is trash. So fuck you.

0:23:22.660 --> 0:23:26.580
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's a fair it's a fair point of view.

0:23:26.859 --> 0:23:32.330
<v Speaker 5>Well, and it's the next generation in some ways wants

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:36.010
<v Speaker 5>to do what he did. Right. Which is make money.

0:23:36.750 --> 0:23:39.230
<v Speaker 5>an easy route by kicking the shit out of the

0:23:39.270 --> 0:23:41.890
<v Speaker 5>last generation of shit talkers.

0:23:42.810 --> 0:23:43.070
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:23:43.850 --> 0:23:45.010
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you should.

0:23:44.890 --> 0:23:45.770
<v Speaker 5>Know that he did that.

0:23:45.950 --> 0:23:48.350
<v Speaker 4>It's like if a, it's like if a Hornet or

0:23:48.410 --> 0:23:50.510
<v Speaker 4>not a Hornet, one of those wasps, it's like, it's

0:23:50.530 --> 0:23:55.330
<v Speaker 4>like if a wasp lays its baby inside of a carcass, right.

0:23:55.810 --> 0:23:58.149
<v Speaker 4>Or a living thing, you know, don't be surprised whenever

0:23:58.210 --> 0:23:59.550
<v Speaker 4>the babies eat their way out.

0:23:59.770 --> 0:24:00.240
<v Speaker 1>It makes it.

0:24:00.250 --> 0:24:00.470
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:24:00.609 --> 0:24:02.340
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're, you're an infection.

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:07.340
<v Speaker 5>It's nature. Isn't isn't infections are natural.

0:24:07.900 --> 0:24:11.380
<v Speaker 1>Isn't everyone in Iran sympathizer? I don't. Can you not be?

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:14.199
<v Speaker 5>I don't I'm not I don't know if I'm an

0:24:14.220 --> 0:24:17.480
<v Speaker 5>Iran sympathizer. I'm sympathetic with I don't think we should

0:24:17.500 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 5>be having a war. I'm sympathetic with the public.

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what that's what I'm saying.

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:25.090
<v Speaker 4>Like, you know, you can't be like, oh, no, I

0:24:25.109 --> 0:24:27.230
<v Speaker 4>think you can't be a sympathizer if you're the one

0:24:27.250 --> 0:24:27.930
<v Speaker 4>who attacked them.

0:24:28.470 --> 0:24:30.270
<v Speaker 1>They you are a sympathizer, right?

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he means, I take his meaning to be more

0:24:34.420 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 5>like everyone thinking he's on a payroll or something like that. Right, right, right.

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 4>As opposed to just somebody rationally being like, yeah, if

0:24:41.020 --> 0:24:43.140
<v Speaker 4>you attack somebody, you're the bad guy.

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.869
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. And it's, you know, the status of bad guy

0:24:47.950 --> 0:24:52.070
<v Speaker 5>becomes a little clearer when our leaders start talking the

0:24:52.090 --> 0:24:52.750
<v Speaker 5>way that they are.

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Now, Hegseth is a great guy. He's not, you know,

0:24:56.510 --> 0:24:57.140
<v Speaker 2>he's a patriot.

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.310
<v Speaker 3>He gets up there and does what the president says,

0:24:59.950 --> 0:25:02.310
<v Speaker 3>and he swore an oath, and we elected him, and

0:25:02.350 --> 0:25:05.310
<v Speaker 3>you're going to hear, you know, this hawkish talk.

0:25:06.550 --> 0:25:06.990
<v Speaker 5>Hawk talk.

0:25:07.930 --> 0:25:10.530
<v Speaker 3>And people freak out by it. That's his job, okay?

0:25:11.130 --> 0:25:13.929
<v Speaker 3>He's the secretary of defense, and I'm not defending what

0:25:13.950 --> 0:25:15.850
<v Speaker 3>he said. I mean, he literally is the definition of terrorism.

0:25:17.109 --> 0:25:19.490
<v Speaker 3>We're going to blow you up. We negotiate with bombs.

0:25:19.830 --> 0:25:22.510
<v Speaker 3>That'll be the new definition of terrorism. But again, one

0:25:22.550 --> 0:25:25.010
<v Speaker 3>guy's terrorist, another person's freedom fighter. You know, the empire

0:25:25.050 --> 0:25:26.210
<v Speaker 3>that wins writes history books.

0:25:26.609 --> 0:25:29.730
<v Speaker 5>So if I'm listening to that, I'm hearing Alex say

0:25:29.790 --> 0:25:34.420
<v Speaker 5>that Hegseth saying that we negotiate with bombs is terrorism

0:25:35.020 --> 0:25:37.460
<v Speaker 5>and that maybe it's good. Maybe it's OK. Maybe that's

0:25:37.500 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 5>just normal.

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:40.340
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:25:41.060 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how to make heads or tails of that.

0:25:42.980 --> 0:25:43.900
<v Speaker 5>He should be against that.

0:25:44.490 --> 0:25:44.810
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:25:45.510 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Is he? Is he for it?

0:25:47.250 --> 0:25:52.710
<v Speaker 4>I don't feel anything other than like I'm obligated to

0:25:53.190 --> 0:25:55.939
<v Speaker 4>posture towards this person's direction.

0:25:55.980 --> 0:25:57.740
<v Speaker 1>But all of his words seem to be like, well,

0:25:57.760 --> 0:25:58.260
<v Speaker 1>this is dumb.

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:03.140
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I think that the overall feeling that I get

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:08.980
<v Speaker 5>from listening to him is a I can't deny what

0:26:09.060 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 5>is going on and it's bad. But also I can't.

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 5>I can't do anything but still kind of make excuses

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:20.939
<v Speaker 5>for Trump and all of the people around him.

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:21.379
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:26:21.980 --> 0:26:25.110
<v Speaker 5>And it's sad. It's stuck, you know?

0:26:25.330 --> 0:26:29.230
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's heartbreaking. I mean, other than watching them being

0:26:29.270 --> 0:26:30.210
<v Speaker 1>in pain, it's pretty great.

0:26:31.410 --> 0:26:35.070
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. So Alex, he starts singing a little song. He

0:26:35.090 --> 0:26:38.070
<v Speaker 5>gets a song in his head and he shares it

0:26:38.109 --> 0:26:38.709
<v Speaker 5>with the class.

0:26:39.010 --> 0:26:42.869
<v Speaker 3>And now they came out after Trump officially offers a

0:26:42.890 --> 0:26:47.550
<v Speaker 3>30-day ceasefire. And the Iranians said, screw you. We're going

0:26:47.570 --> 0:26:50.770
<v Speaker 3>to keep the Strait of Hormuz blocked. And now the

0:26:50.810 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 3>news articles start within hours of that breaking last night.

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:58.979
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we have sent troops.

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 3>And now they're going to invade and take all those

0:27:02.100 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 3>islands that are like Japanese-controlled islands in the march towards

0:27:06.030 --> 0:27:07.830
<v Speaker 3>Japan in World War II.

0:27:08.510 --> 0:27:09.850
<v Speaker 2>And then even more troops on the shore on the

0:27:09.869 --> 0:27:10.450
<v Speaker 2>other side.

0:27:11.869 --> 0:27:13.810
<v Speaker 3>With all their weapons. And then we're going to be

0:27:13.830 --> 0:27:19.580
<v Speaker 3>in close to them. Remember that song? You guys ought

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 3>to pull it up. In 1814, we took a little

0:27:24.260 --> 0:27:26.770
<v Speaker 3>trip along with Colonel Jackson down in the mighty Mississippi,

0:27:27.190 --> 0:27:29.090
<v Speaker 3>took a little bacon and we took a little beans

0:27:29.609 --> 0:27:30.669
<v Speaker 3>and we whipped the bloody British in.

0:27:30.650 --> 0:27:31.530
<v Speaker 2>The town of New Orleans.

0:27:32.230 --> 0:27:34.030
<v Speaker 3>And then it's got the quote, and there's actually said this,

0:27:34.730 --> 0:27:39.330
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Jackson, when he was just a general there in the,

0:27:40.950 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 3>our second war with England. He says, don't shoot till

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>you see the whites of their eyes. Because the British

0:27:46.980 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 3>would start shooting at, 300, 400 yards away.

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:54.060
<v Speaker 5>So that quote long predates Andrew Jackson and is generally

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.020
<v Speaker 5>attributed to a general from the Revolutionary War.

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.109
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say, the reason that that quote

0:27:58.150 --> 0:28:01.350
<v Speaker 4>is important is because guns couldn't shoot straight at the time.

0:28:01.710 --> 0:28:03.990
<v Speaker 4>So it was really important to wait until they were

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.890
<v Speaker 4>close because you were probably going to miss. That wasn't

0:28:06.910 --> 0:28:08.010
<v Speaker 4>like a battle cry.

0:28:08.030 --> 0:28:09.689
<v Speaker 1>That was like regular good advice.

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:15.379
<v Speaker 4>If you want to hit somebody, they got to be close.

0:28:15.540 --> 0:28:18.700
<v Speaker 5>It's interesting for Alex, who has such an appreciation for

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:23.400
<v Speaker 5>and a deep love and respect for Americana and war

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.810
<v Speaker 5>history and the Revolutionary War, to attribute this to Andrew

0:28:26.850 --> 0:28:29.150
<v Speaker 5>Jackson is very strange. It's out of sync.

0:28:29.470 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 1>It's unfair to the lore. It's unfair to the lore.

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Like, listen, the lore is obviously unfair to Andrew Jackson,

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:38.940
<v Speaker 4>because the only way to be fair to Andrew Jackson

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 4>is to call him a genocide or genocidal monster.

0:28:42.740 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 1>But this is unfair to the lore. Andrew Jackson doesn't

0:28:46.660 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 1>need to have said that.

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.500
<v Speaker 4>Andrew Jackson did so much more cool shit. Andrew Jackson

0:28:50.580 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 4>beat up a guy who tried to assassinate him. That's

0:28:53.290 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 4>how Andrew Jackson rolls.

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:58.020
<v Speaker 5>And when you open up the category of cool shit

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 5>to all the racist stuff that Alex loves, Andrew Jackson

0:29:00.510 --> 0:29:01.550
<v Speaker 5>has a deep resume.

0:29:01.590 --> 0:29:02.090
<v Speaker 1>Yeah!

0:29:02.570 --> 0:29:04.870
<v Speaker 5>That song Alex is talking about is the Battle of

0:29:04.950 --> 0:29:08.950
<v Speaker 5>New Orleans by Johnny Horton. So I was thinking about this,

0:29:09.010 --> 0:29:11.690
<v Speaker 5>and around the time I graduated from high school, there

0:29:11.710 --> 0:29:14.030
<v Speaker 5>was a series of books that were really popular. They

0:29:14.050 --> 0:29:17.210
<v Speaker 5>were called stuff like The Matrix and Philosophy or Star

0:29:17.250 --> 0:29:18.230
<v Speaker 5>Wars and Philosophy.

0:29:18.250 --> 0:29:18.670
<v Speaker 1>Sure, sure, sure.

0:29:18.690 --> 0:29:21.490
<v Speaker 5>Where scholars, you know, they would take the content of

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 5>popular media and use it to demonstrate academic ideas. It's

0:29:25.780 --> 0:29:28.340
<v Speaker 5>like this was an attempt to make nerdy stuff feel cool.

0:29:28.620 --> 0:29:31.180
<v Speaker 5>Like you were learning about Descartes, but you were also

0:29:31.300 --> 0:29:33.930
<v Speaker 5>seeing how his ideas apply to things like the question

0:29:34.010 --> 0:29:37.530
<v Speaker 5>of can Neo know he's in the Matrix? Where can

0:29:37.590 --> 0:29:41.730
<v Speaker 5>information come from? This is what Alex thinks he's doing.

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.500
<v Speaker 5>But the problem is he's not a scholar. He just

0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:46.500
<v Speaker 5>knows the pop culture stuff and he knows that he

0:29:46.540 --> 0:29:49.100
<v Speaker 5>can make up connections between things if he needs to

0:29:49.140 --> 0:29:52.380
<v Speaker 5>sound smart. So he's talking about like us going to

0:29:52.420 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 5>war with Iran. And he's like, it's like that song

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 5>when you took a little trip. He's like, no, you

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 5>just want to talk about the song. This doesn't really connect.

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:05.950
<v Speaker 4>Also, point of order. Tim Pool cannot be excited about

0:30:06.010 --> 0:30:09.350
<v Speaker 4>that song. Tim Pool is not allowed to enjoy any

0:30:10.070 --> 0:30:11.270
<v Speaker 4>fight against the British, right?

0:30:12.790 --> 0:30:13.430
<v Speaker 5>Tim Pool?

0:30:13.690 --> 0:30:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's a monarchist.

0:30:15.630 --> 0:30:21.060
<v Speaker 4>He's demonstrated that he is all for the king and

0:30:21.100 --> 0:30:23.700
<v Speaker 4>the queen of England over the United States.

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:25.219
<v Speaker 1>So he can't be cool with that.

0:30:26.410 --> 0:30:29.860
<v Speaker 5>No, he has some monarchist tendencies, that's true. But, you know,

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:33.580
<v Speaker 5>this is Alex. He's not always on Tim Pool's show.

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Sure, that's fair. I'm just saying that once we've introduced monarchism...

0:30:37.260 --> 0:30:39.260
<v Speaker 1>Just because he almost died there.

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:44.180
<v Speaker 4>Once we've introduced monarchism at the possible funeral of a man,

0:30:44.500 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 4>then I think.

0:30:45.370 --> 0:30:49.950
<v Speaker 5>That's... Well, I think this is okay as a diverging

0:30:50.030 --> 0:30:53.230
<v Speaker 5>point for me a little bit because... After Alex left,

0:30:53.650 --> 0:30:56.530
<v Speaker 5>they did talk a fair amount about how disrespected they

0:30:56.590 --> 0:30:59.890
<v Speaker 5>felt and how, like, bummed out they were that Alex

0:30:59.930 --> 0:31:03.270
<v Speaker 5>showed up drunk. And so I think that they can

0:31:03.330 --> 0:31:08.660
<v Speaker 5>be monarchists over here and Alex can still pretend Jackson

0:31:08.740 --> 0:31:09.540
<v Speaker 5>stuff over here.

0:31:09.620 --> 0:31:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll allow it.

0:31:10.260 --> 0:31:10.540
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 5>I really hope they have some kind of, like, a

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 5>summit getting back together. You know, the two of them

0:31:17.220 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 5>really hash out their.

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:20.340
<v Speaker 4>Really solve those differences.

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:25.260
<v Speaker 5>Ugh. So Alex talks about how he could be cooler

0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:26.060
<v Speaker 5>if he wanted to.

0:31:26.420 --> 0:31:28.060
<v Speaker 3>I mean, look, if I wanted to be more popular,

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:31.270
<v Speaker 3>I'd come out here and say, how Hitler and, you know,

0:31:31.530 --> 0:31:34.790
<v Speaker 3>Israel's the devil, blow him off the map. Because Israel

0:31:34.830 --> 0:31:37.270
<v Speaker 3>has effectively put itself in the position as the most

0:31:37.310 --> 0:31:39.630
<v Speaker 3>hated country in the world. And even Gallup polls show that.

0:31:40.490 --> 0:31:42.370
<v Speaker 3>But I don't do this for popularity. I do this

0:31:42.390 --> 0:31:45.930
<v Speaker 3>for truth. Also, it's just so happens truth tends to

0:31:46.020 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 3>make you successful in life and prosper and not blow

0:31:48.900 --> 0:31:49.370
<v Speaker 3>the planet up.

0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 5>So Alex is right but wrong about this. Nazi shit

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:58.260
<v Speaker 5>is way more popular than his bland bullshit in the

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:02.060
<v Speaker 5>right-wing media ecosystem, so it appears on first glance that

0:32:02.100 --> 0:32:04.880
<v Speaker 5>he would benefit from leaning more into that. But there's

0:32:04.900 --> 0:32:07.580
<v Speaker 5>a problem, and that is that he's a known quantity

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.380
<v Speaker 5>and he has a ton of baggage. For years, he's

0:32:10.420 --> 0:32:12.540
<v Speaker 5>had to pretend that he's not a Nazi and that

0:32:12.580 --> 0:32:14.959
<v Speaker 5>he hates Nazis as much as he hates commies, so

0:32:14.980 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 5>if he tried to make too overt of a pivot

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 5>30 years into his career, he looks like an idiot.

0:32:20.450 --> 0:32:22.900
<v Speaker 5>The hardline Nazis would say, I told you so, and

0:32:22.980 --> 0:32:26.340
<v Speaker 5>he would become a low-power figure in that space. At

0:32:26.380 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 5>the same time, whatever audience he has that likes to

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.500
<v Speaker 5>pretend they're not bigots would take Alex coming out like

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:33.870
<v Speaker 5>that as a slap in the face, and he'd lose them.

0:32:34.490 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 5>He'd be cucked by the Nazis and abandoned by the normies. Ultimately,

0:32:38.980 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Alex does not stand to gain any popularity by going

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.220
<v Speaker 5>full Nazi because of this dynamic, which is why he

0:32:45.260 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 5>just positions himself as a guy who hangs out with

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:51.510
<v Speaker 5>and really seems to respect the avant-garde Nazis in his

0:32:51.590 --> 0:32:55.430
<v Speaker 5>media environment. By buddying up with the guys who yell

0:32:55.490 --> 0:32:59.370
<v Speaker 5>Heil Hitler and interviewing them as respectable experts, Alex gets

0:32:59.410 --> 0:33:01.970
<v Speaker 5>the best of both worlds, where he can skim some

0:33:02.010 --> 0:33:04.950
<v Speaker 5>attention off the Nazis who are really popular and maintain

0:33:04.970 --> 0:33:08.530
<v Speaker 5>this illusion of plausible deniability To keep the old country

0:33:08.570 --> 0:33:12.940
<v Speaker 5>folks buying the supplements. And this, I honestly think, is

0:33:12.980 --> 0:33:16.980
<v Speaker 5>probably the only choice Alex has. And again, it's his

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:19.830
<v Speaker 5>own fault. So when he's saying, I could be way

0:33:19.930 --> 0:33:22.490
<v Speaker 5>cooler and more popular by doing that stuff, I really

0:33:22.570 --> 0:33:25.380
<v Speaker 5>don't think he could. Even if it is cooler.

0:33:26.620 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if he he could in in a in

0:33:29.740 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 4>this world right where he does it, humbles himself and

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:36.380
<v Speaker 4>is like, I lost all these people and then hungrily

0:33:36.420 --> 0:33:38.750
<v Speaker 4>tries to rebuild an audience with his new point of

0:33:38.770 --> 0:33:41.870
<v Speaker 4>view that he's he's earned every second of it. But

0:33:41.930 --> 0:33:43.770
<v Speaker 4>he doesn't have those chops and he doesn't have the

0:33:43.830 --> 0:33:45.110
<v Speaker 4>will and he's not that good.

0:33:46.130 --> 0:33:48.760
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, it is his only choice.

0:33:49.180 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 5>And I think that a lot of the folks like

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 5>would see Alex being like, I'm a Nazi now. Like

0:33:55.610 --> 0:33:58.570
<v Speaker 5>that would be like an old guy with a backwards hat,

0:33:58.750 --> 0:34:01.050
<v Speaker 5>you know, like it would be so see-through to them

0:34:01.590 --> 0:34:04.770
<v Speaker 5>that it's not a cool choice to make. So I

0:34:04.790 --> 0:34:07.670
<v Speaker 5>think he's maybe in denial a tiny bit about like

0:34:07.730 --> 0:34:11.299
<v Speaker 5>what his options are. That's fine.

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:15.569
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I'm trying to parse this. Think about this with me,

0:34:15.770 --> 0:34:16.069
<v Speaker 1>all right?

0:34:16.290 --> 0:34:21.810
<v Speaker 4>So obviously when he says that the truth makes you successful, right,

0:34:22.070 --> 0:34:26.210
<v Speaker 4>when looking outside, we know that that's demonstrably false, right?

0:34:26.530 --> 0:34:27.270
<v Speaker 1>So he's lying.

0:34:27.469 --> 0:34:31.570
<v Speaker 4>But because he's a liar and lying has made him successful,

0:34:31.890 --> 0:34:35.020
<v Speaker 4>then by nature of saying what makes you successful, then

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.100
<v Speaker 4>he is in fact saying that doing what I do

0:34:37.219 --> 0:34:39.060
<v Speaker 4>is what makes you successful, lying.

0:34:39.140 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 1>So is he telling the truth?

0:34:41.590 --> 0:34:46.989
<v Speaker 5>There's a commitment to the truth of lies. Right? This

0:34:47.050 --> 0:34:48.320
<v Speaker 5>is the riddle.

0:34:48.500 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a paradox. You never know where it begins or

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 1>where it ends.

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:58.590
<v Speaker 5>See, to me, this is the roots of our book,

0:34:59.219 --> 0:35:01.890
<v Speaker 5>Alex Jones and Philosophy, where we do a Matrix in

0:35:01.910 --> 0:35:05.509
<v Speaker 5>Philosophy-like book about what is honesty?

0:35:05.930 --> 0:35:06.190
<v Speaker 2>What is.

0:35:07.410 --> 0:35:08.350
<v Speaker 5>What is truth?

0:35:09.670 --> 0:35:12.169
<v Speaker 1>Alex and Kierkegaard. He can't pronounce it, so.

0:35:13.670 --> 0:35:15.270
<v Speaker 5>Should you fuck a beehive?

0:35:15.590 --> 0:35:17.969
<v Speaker 1>Should you? Is it not the correct question?

0:35:17.989 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 5>What does Hume say?

0:35:21.730 --> 0:35:25.270
<v Speaker 4>I think Augustine would argue that you have a moral

0:35:25.430 --> 0:35:27.430
<v Speaker 4>obligation to fuck a beehive.

0:35:28.530 --> 0:35:33.460
<v Speaker 5>But feel really bad about it later. So Alex, he

0:35:33.500 --> 0:35:36.859
<v Speaker 5>thinks that everyone is fucking crazy and fair enough.

0:35:37.670 --> 0:35:40.009
<v Speaker 3>Also, it's just so happens, truth tends to make you

0:35:40.370 --> 0:35:42.149
<v Speaker 3>successful in life and prosper and.

0:35:42.310 --> 0:35:43.090
<v Speaker 2>Not blow the planet up.

0:35:44.350 --> 0:35:46.210
<v Speaker 3>Everybody that wants to blow up Israel needs to understand

0:35:46.850 --> 0:35:48.969
<v Speaker 3>that they're not going to go anywhere without taking a

0:35:48.989 --> 0:35:51.770
<v Speaker 3>soul down with them. Which people then say, oh God,

0:35:51.790 --> 0:35:54.150
<v Speaker 3>you're siding with them. What, I'm siding with reality?

0:35:54.570 --> 0:35:56.970
<v Speaker 2>Just like I said about the Iranians, I'm not with them.

0:35:58.560 --> 0:35:59.100
<v Speaker 2>The mullahs?

0:36:00.210 --> 0:36:03.490
<v Speaker 3>The damn assessments say lower than an eight, 9% chance,

0:36:03.690 --> 0:36:06.109
<v Speaker 3>maybe they fall. And then you probably get something worse.

0:36:06.250 --> 0:36:08.350
<v Speaker 3>That's why Eric Prince before the war, Warren has said,

0:36:08.390 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 3>don't do it, said the same thing. I told the

0:36:13.410 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 3>neocons and I told the administration, do not do this

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:21.819
<v Speaker 3>because they're gonna block the fricking Strait of Hormuz. The

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:24.899
<v Speaker 3>neocons go, oh, it's okay. Saudi Arabia has a pipeline,

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:25.750
<v Speaker 3>they can do 25% of it.

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 2>They already had that at max capacity.

0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.180
<v Speaker 3>And the Iranians can blow that up next and said

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:36.009
<v Speaker 3>they're about to. So I know how to play chess, folks,

0:36:37.570 --> 0:36:41.310
<v Speaker 3>not checkers. And I'm telling you, just like in the

0:36:41.790 --> 0:36:43.710
<v Speaker 3>1980s movie that was based on Rand Corporation War Games,

0:36:44.489 --> 0:36:48.489
<v Speaker 3>War Games, the only way to win the game is

0:36:48.550 --> 0:36:52.750
<v Speaker 3>not to play. A strange game. The only way to

0:36:52.790 --> 0:36:55.549
<v Speaker 3>win is not to play. That's all I'm saying. I'm

0:36:55.570 --> 0:36:58.220
<v Speaker 3>just trying to be sane here. I'm not a secret Muslim.

0:36:58.420 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a secret Nazi. I'm just an American that's

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.430
<v Speaker 3>smart and informed. And I'm telling all you people, you're

0:37:03.450 --> 0:37:04.649
<v Speaker 3>fucking crazy.

0:37:04.670 --> 0:37:05.569
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back.

0:37:05.590 --> 0:37:09.170
<v Speaker 5>Stay with me. You're fucking crazy because I saw War Games.

0:37:09.650 --> 0:37:13.710
<v Speaker 5>And I can quote it. All right? I.

0:37:15.030 --> 0:37:17.650
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Here's what I don't like. I don't like it

0:37:17.690 --> 0:37:19.390
<v Speaker 1>when I agree with a statement.

0:37:20.260 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 4>But then when the reasons are given post-statement, I am

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 4>supposed to continue agreeing with that statement.

0:37:26.620 --> 0:37:31.969
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. Yes, you are all fucking crazy. Agreed. Wholeheartedly.

0:37:32.330 --> 0:37:33.989
<v Speaker 1>The reasons for which are.

0:37:34.010 --> 0:37:36.830
<v Speaker 4>Varied and diverse, but they are not the ones that

0:37:36.930 --> 0:37:37.690
<v Speaker 4>Alex believes in.

0:37:37.870 --> 0:37:40.790
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like you could, someone could be like, hey, everyone's

0:37:40.870 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 5>acting like fucking lunatics. What's going on? Everybody needs to

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:46.730
<v Speaker 5>get in control. And you'd be like, yeah, all right.

0:37:46.930 --> 0:37:48.710
<v Speaker 5>All right. And then they keep talking and they're like,

0:37:48.910 --> 0:37:51.779
<v Speaker 5>everyone knows you shouldn't drink water or something. Like they

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 5>could have some idea.

0:37:52.900 --> 0:37:53.340
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:54.540
<v Speaker 1>What do you work for?

0:37:54.620 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Rabies?

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.180
<v Speaker 1>What is happening? What is happening right now?

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Come on, man. Oh, we don't need you. You're

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:01.900
<v Speaker 5>making it worse.

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:03.500
<v Speaker 1>No good.

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:06.100
<v Speaker 5>So I think that, you know, we talked about this

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.910
<v Speaker 5>a little bit earlier, this weird kind of vibe that

0:38:09.170 --> 0:38:12.490
<v Speaker 5>there is like, he's saying this stuff and it's pretty

0:38:12.770 --> 0:38:16.610
<v Speaker 5>negative and it's, it's demonstrably negative. but he still wants

0:38:16.660 --> 0:38:19.500
<v Speaker 5>to keep this connection to Trump, and it makes him

0:38:19.540 --> 0:38:20.300
<v Speaker 5>sound stupid.

0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 3>And listen, I want to cover all the great stuff

0:38:22.580 --> 0:38:26.719
<v Speaker 3>Trump's doing, and I will later. But we lose all

0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.140
<v Speaker 3>that if this continues with this Iran thing just on

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:31.299
<v Speaker 3>the economy alone, and I'll explain. I know you already

0:38:31.320 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 3>know most of you, but other people need to get

0:38:33.020 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 3>this through their brains, because you don't have to hear

0:38:35.100 --> 0:38:35.759
<v Speaker 3>me predict it.

0:38:35.860 --> 0:38:36.459
<v Speaker 2>Now it's here.

0:38:37.810 --> 0:38:39.450
<v Speaker 3>And if you want to be eating dog food and

0:38:39.469 --> 0:38:41.529
<v Speaker 3>have the Democrats get back in and bring back the

0:38:41.570 --> 0:38:43.830
<v Speaker 3>carbon taxes and cut off the economy and have a

0:38:43.950 --> 0:38:48.430
<v Speaker 3>literal planned austerity make you poor to control you, feudalism hell,

0:38:49.810 --> 0:38:53.830
<v Speaker 3>then just continue to support the neocons and the Israel

0:38:53.870 --> 0:38:56.549
<v Speaker 3>First lobby. Because above them is the Rothschilds and the

0:38:56.590 --> 0:39:00.460
<v Speaker 3>central banks that want Trump to derail his plan that

0:39:00.500 --> 0:39:02.339
<v Speaker 3>was an excellent economic plan.

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.100
<v Speaker 2>And destroyed the old globalist order.

0:39:05.210 --> 0:39:07.150
<v Speaker 3>Now, the question is, is the new global order going

0:39:07.170 --> 0:39:09.270
<v Speaker 3>to come in, going to be based on sovereignty and

0:39:09.330 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 3>freedom and unilaterally working with countries? And it was that

0:39:13.540 --> 0:39:15.320
<v Speaker 3>way the first six months. He was making all the

0:39:15.340 --> 0:39:18.360
<v Speaker 3>right moves. The globals were like, we're done now.

0:39:18.500 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 7>Oh, no.

0:39:19.300 --> 0:39:22.489
<v Speaker 3>Now America is the big new world order globalist thing

0:39:22.700 --> 0:39:25.169
<v Speaker 3>and is going to try to bring back the neocons,

0:39:25.230 --> 0:39:26.730
<v Speaker 3>new world order, new world order.

0:39:27.270 --> 0:39:27.609
<v Speaker 6>Oh, no.

0:39:28.150 --> 0:39:29.710
<v Speaker 5>They're going to bring back the new world order, new

0:39:29.750 --> 0:39:32.140
<v Speaker 5>world order. Old World, New World Order.

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Hmm.

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:38.760
<v Speaker 5>He needs to gain some precision with terms, I think,

0:39:39.340 --> 0:39:40.320
<v Speaker 5>if we're going to get anywhere.

0:39:40.500 --> 0:39:43.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, and yet at the same time, his best

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:46.320
<v Speaker 4>power is the ability to use imprecise terms.

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:39:48.850 --> 0:39:49.110
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:39:49.210 --> 0:39:49.410
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:39:49.450 --> 0:39:52.150
<v Speaker 5>No, I agree. And generally it serves him quite well. Right.

0:39:52.290 --> 0:39:56.700
<v Speaker 5>In this case, there's like 15 different new and old

0:39:56.739 --> 0:40:01.980
<v Speaker 5>world orders that need to be called those things. Yeah.

0:40:02.260 --> 0:40:04.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think I think we have laws.

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:04.939
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:09.410
<v Speaker 4>Because in general, we're like very bad at knowing when

0:40:09.690 --> 0:40:12.270
<v Speaker 4>you have to do something. You know, we all like

0:40:12.310 --> 0:40:14.450
<v Speaker 4>to negotiate. Like, maybe I don't have to do something

0:40:14.489 --> 0:40:16.339
<v Speaker 4>this time. Maybe next time I'll do it. And so

0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 4>we have laws. So it's like none of us get

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:19.980
<v Speaker 4>a choice. You have to do it.

0:40:20.100 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 1>It's the law.

0:40:21.420 --> 0:40:21.620
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:24.020
<v Speaker 1>It feels very.

0:40:23.820 --> 0:40:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Much like we need that for your political candidate or

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:30.140
<v Speaker 4>friend or, you know, like.

0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:32.770
<v Speaker 1>Just some sort of like, you know what? I still

0:40:32.830 --> 0:40:36.850
<v Speaker 1>support Trump. I love Trump. But unfortunately, because he did

0:40:36.890 --> 0:40:38.330
<v Speaker 1>this thing, there's nothing I can do.

0:40:38.570 --> 0:40:38.910
<v Speaker 5>Sorry.

0:40:39.290 --> 0:40:39.870
<v Speaker 1>I'm just out.

0:40:40.130 --> 0:40:44.210
<v Speaker 5>You know? Oh, yeah, you're saying there should be red

0:40:44.270 --> 0:40:50.330
<v Speaker 5>lines and points past which affinity doesn't matter anymore, or

0:40:50.410 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 5>the little benefits you're going to get. Yeah, I'm sure

0:40:54.219 --> 0:40:56.779
<v Speaker 5>you're excited about that stuff, but it's too much. The

0:40:56.820 --> 0:40:58.380
<v Speaker 5>rest of this is too much. The scales.

0:40:58.739 --> 0:41:03.300
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just that there's... And it's not irrational to

0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:05.259
<v Speaker 4>look at the hard choice and be like, this is

0:41:05.300 --> 0:41:07.339
<v Speaker 4>a bad... I don't want to make this choice, right?

0:41:07.710 --> 0:41:10.530
<v Speaker 4>Which is why it needs to happen without... your input,

0:41:10.730 --> 0:41:13.130
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's why it needs to happen without you getting.

0:41:12.930 --> 0:41:15.850
<v Speaker 1>To, to talk to yourself a little bit and be like, Hey,

0:41:15.870 --> 0:41:19.350
<v Speaker 1>you know what? Sure. He's blown up Iran.

0:41:19.820 --> 0:41:20.090
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:21.450
<v Speaker 1>The strait at Hormuz is closed.

0:41:21.489 --> 0:41:21.700
<v Speaker 5>Sure.

0:41:21.739 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Nobody can fly anywhere, but brown people, I don't see

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:26.620
<v Speaker 1>as many of them.

0:41:27.020 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 5>See, and I think, I think that reality forces that

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:37.590
<v Speaker 5>line or whatever, you know, whatever you're describing, like, There

0:41:37.670 --> 0:41:40.370
<v Speaker 5>is a point at which all you can do is

0:41:40.510 --> 0:41:44.310
<v Speaker 5>be in sync with it or in defiance of it. So, like,

0:41:44.510 --> 0:41:48.110
<v Speaker 5>even if Alex doesn't follow the law or whatever it

0:41:48.190 --> 0:41:53.980
<v Speaker 5>is you're describing, it's clear to everyone else. Everyone else

0:41:54.060 --> 0:41:58.480
<v Speaker 5>can observe and see, like, hey, man, it's weird that

0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 5>you're not on the warpath against Trump. Yeah. You should be.

0:42:02.460 --> 0:42:02.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:05.900
<v Speaker 5>Because this, like, listen to this next clip and imagine

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:08.760
<v Speaker 5>he's not calling for this person to be arrested.

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:11.760
<v Speaker 3>So look at this. Are you negotiating with yourself? Iran

0:42:11.820 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 3>mocks Trump as U.S. sends troops to the region. Iran

0:42:17.060 --> 0:42:22.399
<v Speaker 3>rejects U.S. peace plan to blow. Iran rejects U.S. peace

0:42:22.420 --> 0:42:25.580
<v Speaker 3>plan and blow to efforts to end war. And they said,

0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 3>why would we negotiate with you every time we get

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:37.299
<v Speaker 3>in the room? You drop a missile launch. So that's

0:42:37.340 --> 0:42:40.660
<v Speaker 3>what's going on here. And all of you wanting it

0:42:40.680 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 3>to succeed and all of you saying just get behind it.

0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Get behind what?

0:42:45.140 --> 0:42:48.630
<v Speaker 3>Trump's changed the story about a thousand times. I mean, literally,

0:42:48.790 --> 0:42:50.710
<v Speaker 3>sometimes five times a day he tells a different story

0:42:50.730 --> 0:42:52.489
<v Speaker 3>while we're doing it. Oh, the war's already won. It'll

0:42:52.510 --> 0:42:54.330
<v Speaker 3>be done in two days. Oh, it's already over. There's

0:42:54.350 --> 0:43:00.330
<v Speaker 3>nothing happening. I told the Iranians unconditional surrender. Meanwhile, days before,

0:43:01.930 --> 0:43:07.390
<v Speaker 3>it's the opposite, basically. So if you like being lied to,

0:43:07.430 --> 0:43:09.670
<v Speaker 3>this is the place to get it is from this

0:43:09.730 --> 0:43:13.370
<v Speaker 3>current administration. And I hate that because there's so much

0:43:13.410 --> 0:43:13.910
<v Speaker 3>good they're doing.

0:43:14.130 --> 0:43:16.700
<v Speaker 5>So Alex is framing this as a situation where his

0:43:16.780 --> 0:43:20.359
<v Speaker 5>disappointment comes from Trump doing all this bad stuff because

0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 5>he's also doing all this good stuff. And that's relatable.

0:43:24.700 --> 0:43:28.360
<v Speaker 5>Most politicians exist in that gray area, which would be

0:43:28.380 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 5>a good name for a show. But the truth is

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:34.569
<v Speaker 5>that his frustration comes from a different place. Alex is

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:36.850
<v Speaker 5>furious that Trump is acting in a way that makes

0:43:36.890 --> 0:43:40.130
<v Speaker 5>it impossible for Alex to gaslight his audience into blind

0:43:40.170 --> 0:43:43.820
<v Speaker 5>acceptance of his actions. He's crossed so many red lines

0:43:43.860 --> 0:43:46.580
<v Speaker 5>for Alex that it's comical to hear him say that

0:43:46.620 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 5>there's so much good stuff that Trump is doing because

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.840
<v Speaker 5>the bad stuff is that severe. The image Alex is

0:43:52.860 --> 0:43:55.640
<v Speaker 5>trying to strike is that there's close to a balance

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:57.980
<v Speaker 5>between the good and bad that Trump is doing, which

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:01.839
<v Speaker 5>is crazy. By Alex's own words, Trump is gambling with

0:44:01.900 --> 0:44:04.970
<v Speaker 5>our lives, probably illegally going to start a world war,

0:44:05.110 --> 0:44:08.270
<v Speaker 5>and constantly lying about it. These are supposed to be

0:44:08.390 --> 0:44:10.989
<v Speaker 5>big deal breakers for Alex, so when he's forced to

0:44:11.030 --> 0:44:13.930
<v Speaker 5>play this game where the scales are teetering on the edge,

0:44:14.290 --> 0:44:17.400
<v Speaker 5>it reveals that those aren't that big of deal breakers

0:44:17.460 --> 0:44:20.290
<v Speaker 5>as he's always wanted us to think. Trump is doing

0:44:20.930 --> 0:44:25.029
<v Speaker 5>racist and pro-business stuff, which Alex likes. He's also being

0:44:25.070 --> 0:44:27.770
<v Speaker 5>a warmonger and pursuing a foreign policy that Alex has

0:44:27.810 --> 0:44:31.529
<v Speaker 5>explicitly based his career on opposing, while violating the Constitution

0:44:31.570 --> 0:44:34.980
<v Speaker 5>a bunch and covering up the Epstein stuff. If we're

0:44:35.020 --> 0:44:37.700
<v Speaker 5>supposed to believe that Alex is so conflicted about how

0:44:37.739 --> 0:44:40.300
<v Speaker 5>Trump is doing so much good stuff, and he hates

0:44:40.380 --> 0:44:42.620
<v Speaker 5>that Trump is doing this bad stuff, then it stands

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:46.130
<v Speaker 5>to reason that he values these two sides fairly evenly.

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:49.419
<v Speaker 5>But if you take this a step further, Alex doesn't

0:44:49.480 --> 0:44:51.520
<v Speaker 5>even really care about those things that are supposed to

0:44:51.540 --> 0:44:54.040
<v Speaker 5>be in the negative column. He just hates that he

0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:57.820
<v Speaker 5>can't deny them anymore. Trump is getting into like huge

0:44:57.900 --> 0:45:01.500
<v Speaker 5>public fights with Marjorie Taylor Greene over Epstein, and Alex

0:45:01.540 --> 0:45:03.680
<v Speaker 5>made it clear that his problem was that if Trump

0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:06.320
<v Speaker 5>wanted to do a cover-up, he needed to shut up

0:45:06.660 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 5>and let the media surrogates handle it. And that's at

0:45:09.780 --> 0:45:13.600
<v Speaker 5>the core of his frustrations. Trump isn't letting Alex do

0:45:13.700 --> 0:45:16.439
<v Speaker 5>what Alex thinks is his job, and this is because

0:45:16.540 --> 0:45:19.319
<v Speaker 5>Alex never had a job or a constructive purpose to

0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:24.040
<v Speaker 5>begin with. He's a one-sided media surrogate whose boss doesn't

0:45:24.100 --> 0:45:27.239
<v Speaker 5>give a shit about him and doesn't need him. They

0:45:27.400 --> 0:45:30.380
<v Speaker 5>all jumped onto the Trump wagon because he was a

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:33.570
<v Speaker 5>huge attention magnet and it boosted their ratings, so why

0:45:33.670 --> 0:45:37.110
<v Speaker 5>the fuck would Trump ever think he needs them? They

0:45:37.190 --> 0:45:41.490
<v Speaker 5>need him! Alex is pissed off because he can't accept

0:45:41.550 --> 0:45:45.169
<v Speaker 5>how bad the stuff he knows Trump has done really is,

0:45:45.390 --> 0:45:48.190
<v Speaker 5>and he can't deny it either. He has to give

0:45:48.290 --> 0:45:50.489
<v Speaker 5>lip service to the reality that's in front of him

0:45:50.650 --> 0:45:53.530
<v Speaker 5>and then act as if none of it's true. Your

0:45:53.590 --> 0:45:59.210
<v Speaker 5>talk recognizes reality and your actions do not. In the past,

0:45:59.710 --> 0:46:02.529
<v Speaker 5>he just didn't have to accept reality. He could make

0:46:02.570 --> 0:46:05.510
<v Speaker 5>his own. But because of the choices that he's made

0:46:05.570 --> 0:46:08.810
<v Speaker 5>and the circumstances he's in, that luxury just doesn't exist anymore. Nope.

0:46:09.290 --> 0:46:10.129
<v Speaker 1>He's a piece of shit.

0:46:13.969 --> 0:46:17.660
<v Speaker 5>And trapped by the fakeness, trapped by the fake reality

0:46:17.700 --> 0:46:19.620
<v Speaker 5>he created for everyone to live in yesterday.

0:46:19.640 --> 0:46:23.899
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I mean, the problem with them, right?

0:46:23.940 --> 0:46:27.219
<v Speaker 4>The problem with their whole ecosystem is that it is

0:46:27.360 --> 0:46:32.230
<v Speaker 4>based around lies. All of the people inside it are liars.

0:46:32.989 --> 0:46:36.969
<v Speaker 4>But in order to have a functioning ecosystem, somebody has

0:46:37.010 --> 0:46:39.970
<v Speaker 4>to trust somebody somewhere, right? But since they're all liars,

0:46:39.989 --> 0:46:42.450
<v Speaker 4>they wind up lying to themselves to think that they

0:46:42.510 --> 0:46:46.450
<v Speaker 4>can trust somebody like Trump because they've created this lie

0:46:46.510 --> 0:46:49.569
<v Speaker 4>fiction in their head where they're actually partners with Trump

0:46:49.590 --> 0:46:53.069
<v Speaker 4>and he's on their team. His interests somehow dovetail with

0:46:53.110 --> 0:46:56.739
<v Speaker 4>your interests as opposed to everything that we know about him.

0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:58.300
<v Speaker 5>He's winking at me, man.

0:46:58.460 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I can see.

0:46:59.060 --> 0:47:00.439
<v Speaker 5>I know he's, yeah, yeah.

0:47:00.580 --> 0:47:03.440
<v Speaker 4>I know he's lying to somebody because I'm a liar,

0:47:03.739 --> 0:47:05.959
<v Speaker 4>but I don't know that I'm lying to me about

0:47:06.020 --> 0:47:07.580
<v Speaker 4>who he's lying to about me.

0:47:07.900 --> 0:47:11.219
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's convincing yourself you're on the inside group of

0:47:11.260 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 5>the exclusion circles. And they're realizing now that they're not really.

0:47:15.940 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 1>There's only one.

0:47:16.880 --> 0:47:19.239
<v Speaker 4>There's only one inside it. And it's not none of

0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:20.950
<v Speaker 4>his family's even in fucking side.

0:47:21.270 --> 0:47:22.410
<v Speaker 1>Read about him.

0:47:23.670 --> 0:47:25.730
<v Speaker 5>His family is conditionally inside.

0:47:25.810 --> 0:47:26.390
<v Speaker 1>Some of them.

0:47:26.450 --> 0:47:27.630
<v Speaker 5>Most of them. Right.

0:47:27.650 --> 0:47:28.110
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:47:29.290 --> 0:47:29.489
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:47:30.130 --> 0:47:33.330
<v Speaker 5>So, Alex, you used to talk about how, like, Israel,

0:47:33.370 --> 0:47:36.890
<v Speaker 5>they're making themselves look bad. Why are they acting like this?

0:47:37.670 --> 0:47:38.770
<v Speaker 5>It's bad PR.

0:47:39.110 --> 0:47:43.490
<v Speaker 3>Well, what are you doing? You are literally setting yourself

0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 3>up as the bully. You were the underdog until a

0:47:46.620 --> 0:47:49.320
<v Speaker 3>few years ago. You were loved in most countries. Now

0:47:49.340 --> 0:47:51.299
<v Speaker 3>you're the most unpopular country in the world. And again,

0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:54.080
<v Speaker 3>people go, good, get him, get him. Have you followed

0:47:54.100 --> 0:47:56.660
<v Speaker 3>that out, as I said earlier? It ends a nuclear war.

0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Please stop. Take the car keys away from these crazy people, okay? Israel, please, stop. Trump, stop.

0:48:06.989 --> 0:48:09.360
<v Speaker 2>People say, I thought you liked Trump. I'm trying to

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:10.300
<v Speaker 2>get him to stop.

0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:13.660
<v Speaker 3>I've been proven right. I got a bunch of other

0:48:13.700 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 3>insane clips I haven't gotten to. I've got, you know

0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:22.530
<v Speaker 3>how many clips we have on the list today?

0:48:22.530 --> 0:48:24.450
<v Speaker 2>157, okay? I mean, I'm loaded for bear here, and

0:48:24.489 --> 0:48:27.710
<v Speaker 2>I've played five clips. Let me do this.

0:48:30.050 --> 0:48:36.140
<v Speaker 3>The folks at Bigley, about seven, eight months ago, came

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:39.100
<v Speaker 3>out with this amazing... Well, it's already come out what

0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.240
<v Speaker 3>they got from the company. Top of the line Faraday cage,

0:48:41.900 --> 0:48:44.300
<v Speaker 3>backpack with all these special pockets, super high quality.

0:48:44.840 --> 0:48:49.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so he's got a new Faraday backpack. I would

0:48:49.820 --> 0:48:55.740
<v Speaker 5>say 150-something clips is hubris. That's insane.

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:55.830
<v Speaker 6>You.

0:48:57.080 --> 0:49:00.010
<v Speaker 5>he wants to act like this is him being over

0:49:00.090 --> 0:49:02.850
<v Speaker 5>prepared and stuff, but it really indicates that he has

0:49:02.930 --> 0:49:04.210
<v Speaker 5>no idea how to prepare.

0:49:04.310 --> 0:49:04.549
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:49:04.710 --> 0:49:07.770
<v Speaker 5>Like there has never been a time where he's gotten

0:49:07.790 --> 0:49:11.630
<v Speaker 5>to 150 clips on his fucking show. Like that means

0:49:11.710 --> 0:49:14.190
<v Speaker 5>that there is no preparation. Cause if there was, he

0:49:14.250 --> 0:49:17.450
<v Speaker 5>would have weeded it down to like the 10 essential ones.

0:49:18.210 --> 0:49:21.500
<v Speaker 4>Well, if, if you put, all of those, if all

0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:25.410
<v Speaker 4>of those clip average, let's say a minute long, just for,

0:49:25.469 --> 0:49:28.469
<v Speaker 4>just for the sake of simplicity, doesn't that put it

0:49:28.489 --> 0:49:29.210
<v Speaker 4>at like two and a.

0:49:29.230 --> 0:49:30.290
<v Speaker 1>Half hours of stuff?

0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:32.360
<v Speaker 5>Save his voice.

0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:35.259
<v Speaker 4>Right? And his show's only four hours long, of which

0:49:35.300 --> 0:49:38.240
<v Speaker 4>he only does three. And then you take out Brooks.

0:49:38.620 --> 0:49:42.129
<v Speaker 4>He could essentially just play all 157 of those clips,

0:49:42.190 --> 0:49:43.230
<v Speaker 4>and that would be his show.

0:49:43.430 --> 0:49:47.270
<v Speaker 5>You know what he could do? So I just got

0:49:47.310 --> 0:49:51.430
<v Speaker 5>a flash of him doing I Love the 80s, but

0:49:51.630 --> 0:49:53.090
<v Speaker 5>with all of his clips.

0:49:53.150 --> 0:49:53.569
<v Speaker 1>I like that.

0:49:53.610 --> 0:49:55.890
<v Speaker 5>So he just would play the clip and then punch

0:49:55.969 --> 0:49:57.500
<v Speaker 5>in and say something about a Furby.

0:49:57.620 --> 0:49:57.859
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:49:57.940 --> 0:49:58.380
<v Speaker 5>Or something.

0:49:58.520 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:49:59.820 --> 0:50:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:50:00.540 --> 0:50:00.610
<v Speaker 6>Or.

0:50:01.700 --> 0:50:03.700
<v Speaker 5>Or even if he doesn't want to be on video,

0:50:03.719 --> 0:50:07.089
<v Speaker 5>he could just do like pop-up video, kind of like

0:50:07.340 --> 0:50:10.990
<v Speaker 5>he plays the clips and then a little factoid pops

0:50:11.070 --> 0:50:12.410
<v Speaker 5>up on the screen.

0:50:12.650 --> 0:50:15.970
<v Speaker 4>I like him becoming Doug Benson in some form or another.

0:50:15.989 --> 0:50:17.469
<v Speaker 1>I think that works for me.

0:50:19.050 --> 0:50:21.279
<v Speaker 5>Well, he does smoke weed once a year, as you know,

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:27.899
<v Speaker 5>just to test the potency. So Big Lee's got this backpack. Great.

0:50:28.340 --> 0:50:30.219
<v Speaker 5>Alex is selling it, and it really sounds like they're

0:50:30.260 --> 0:50:33.620
<v Speaker 5>giving away the store, because, like, there's so much shit

0:50:33.660 --> 0:50:37.319
<v Speaker 5>they're putting in this backpack, and it's at, like, one-fifth

0:50:37.420 --> 0:50:39.720
<v Speaker 5>of what they claim is the market value of the

0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:41.250
<v Speaker 5>Faraday backpack.

0:50:41.570 --> 0:50:42.029
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ.

0:50:42.110 --> 0:50:42.730
<v Speaker 5>It's not good.

0:50:43.150 --> 0:50:45.750
<v Speaker 1>What is it? So a Faraday backpack, it protects you

0:50:45.790 --> 0:50:47.770
<v Speaker 1>from electricity? Is that what... What is it?

0:50:49.030 --> 0:50:49.150
<v Speaker 5>Um.

0:50:49.969 --> 0:50:51.649
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it does. It totally. No, no, no.

0:50:51.730 --> 0:50:51.950
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:50:52.010 --> 0:50:52.470
<v Speaker 1>I forgot.

0:50:52.510 --> 0:50:54.969
<v Speaker 4>I forgot what these people believe. It totally protects you

0:50:54.989 --> 0:50:57.070
<v Speaker 4>from 5G and shit like that. That's what they're doing.

0:50:57.430 --> 0:51:00.430
<v Speaker 5>No. Well, maybe. But I think it's more about like

0:51:00.950 --> 0:51:03.489
<v Speaker 5>you can keep your devices in there and no one

0:51:03.510 --> 0:51:06.370
<v Speaker 5>can spy on you or something. There's a privacy aspect.

0:51:06.410 --> 0:51:06.830
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha.

0:51:06.890 --> 0:51:09.970
<v Speaker 5>Or like a hacking aspect that I think is more central.

0:51:09.989 --> 0:51:12.930
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, sure. If you buy one because you're afraid

0:51:12.969 --> 0:51:14.589
<v Speaker 5>of 5G, Alex isn't mad about that.

0:51:14.610 --> 0:51:14.830
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:51:15.030 --> 0:51:15.430
<v Speaker 5>That's good.

0:51:15.610 --> 0:51:18.010
<v Speaker 4>If I put it on my head, is that better

0:51:18.210 --> 0:51:19.650
<v Speaker 4>than the aluminum foil?

0:51:20.250 --> 0:51:22.990
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? Like, have we elevated our game?

0:51:23.850 --> 0:51:24.009
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:51:24.270 --> 0:51:25.430
<v Speaker 5>Technology marches along.

0:51:25.450 --> 0:51:27.990
<v Speaker 1>There we go. All right. Backpacks on the heads. No

0:51:28.430 --> 0:51:30.130
<v Speaker 1>more aluminum foil for crazy people.

0:51:30.410 --> 0:51:33.989
<v Speaker 5>So I would say that regardless of whether these bags

0:51:34.050 --> 0:51:36.899
<v Speaker 5>sell or not, it sounds like things are tough in

0:51:37.160 --> 0:51:37.740
<v Speaker 5>Alex land.

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Also, as you can now read in the newspapers, the

0:51:41.580 --> 0:51:44.569
<v Speaker 3>Texas receiver is saying he's not going to pay the

0:51:44.630 --> 0:51:48.189
<v Speaker 3>rent or the bills. And as going into next month,

0:51:48.230 --> 0:51:50.190
<v Speaker 3>the rent's not even paid. So you ask, when are

0:51:50.210 --> 0:51:52.270
<v Speaker 3>we going to shut down? Tomorrow, two weeks from now.

0:51:52.530 --> 0:51:54.490
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to just wait until the lights turn off, okay?

0:51:54.850 --> 0:51:57.509
<v Speaker 3>You'll probably see InfoWars go down the site. You'd see

0:51:57.610 --> 0:51:59.750
<v Speaker 3>streaming shut down. Once we can't do it, we have

0:51:59.770 --> 0:52:01.590
<v Speaker 3>the All Shows Network built at Big Leone's, and I'm

0:52:01.610 --> 0:52:02.359
<v Speaker 3>going to go over and do it there.

0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 2>But I'm going to ride this horse until it dies.

0:52:04.980 --> 0:52:08.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to ride this race car until the engine

0:52:08.060 --> 0:52:10.900
<v Speaker 3>blows or the wheels come off, or I crash.

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Into the embankment.

0:52:11.620 --> 0:52:14.739
<v Speaker 3>I ain't giving up. I'm riding this horse until I

0:52:14.780 --> 0:52:16.470
<v Speaker 3>win or I lose. And then the media's like, oh,

0:52:16.510 --> 0:52:17.339
<v Speaker 3>he's finally going to lose.

0:52:17.660 --> 0:52:20.860
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, right. I am the Info War. Our listeners

0:52:20.900 --> 0:52:23.820
<v Speaker 2>are the Info War. And we got a whole line.

0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:27.319
<v Speaker 3>Here's the first one of limited edition Veterans of the

0:52:27.410 --> 0:52:28.620
<v Speaker 3>Info War t-shirts.

0:52:28.660 --> 0:52:32.430
<v Speaker 2>Look at this. This is badass. Let's get some good

0:52:32.450 --> 0:52:33.089
<v Speaker 2>B-roll of this, guys.

0:52:33.110 --> 0:52:37.830
<v Speaker 5>Let's get some B-roll of that nice looking shirt. So

0:52:37.890 --> 0:52:39.029
<v Speaker 5>I was listening to that. I was like, oh, the

0:52:39.090 --> 0:52:41.750
<v Speaker 5>Texas receiver. Who's he talking about? Michael Irvin?

0:52:42.230 --> 0:52:42.390
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:52:44.310 --> 0:52:46.290
<v Speaker 1>From the Dallas Cowboys. From the Dallas Cowboys.

0:52:46.489 --> 0:52:46.629
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:50.000
<v Speaker 5>Sports reference over here no.

0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.500
<v Speaker 4>I know i'm just as excited as you are it

0:52:52.520 --> 0:52:54.180
<v Speaker 4>took me a second to register i.

0:52:55.820 --> 0:53:00.390
<v Speaker 5>Played tecmo super bowl i know about these things um

0:53:00.450 --> 0:53:02.689
<v Speaker 5>yeah so it sounds like things are bad the lights

0:53:02.750 --> 0:53:04.810
<v Speaker 5>might go out or or the rent might not be

0:53:04.850 --> 0:53:06.790
<v Speaker 5>paid but that's.

0:53:06.630 --> 0:53:09.890
<v Speaker 4>Fun we'll see I mean, I find that to be

0:53:09.950 --> 0:53:16.110
<v Speaker 4>such an interesting solution to the problem of like, well, technically,

0:53:16.190 --> 0:53:18.450
<v Speaker 4>I guess I have all kinds of legal authority, but

0:53:19.450 --> 0:53:21.170
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what shit this guy's going to get

0:53:21.230 --> 0:53:23.370
<v Speaker 4>up to if I try and exercise it. What I

0:53:23.450 --> 0:53:27.210
<v Speaker 4>can do is nothing. And if I do nothing, maybe

0:53:27.230 --> 0:53:29.680
<v Speaker 4>the problem will just go away. And that seems to

0:53:29.719 --> 0:53:31.360
<v Speaker 4>be a novel strategy to these people.

0:53:31.700 --> 0:53:34.399
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's an element of like not paying his

0:53:34.500 --> 0:53:37.470
<v Speaker 5>rent because you have control over all the assets and everything.

0:53:37.870 --> 0:53:40.820
<v Speaker 5>Like not paying the rent is, is it's a little

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:43.460
<v Speaker 5>bit of a mercy kill. It's a little bit of a,

0:53:43.500 --> 0:53:45.819
<v Speaker 5>like taking out the feeding tube or whatever.

0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:47.680
<v Speaker 1>No, it's perfect. No conflict.

0:53:47.739 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 4>What are you going to, what are you going to

0:53:48.700 --> 0:53:50.739
<v Speaker 4>get into a fight about me with? I just am

0:53:50.780 --> 0:53:52.879
<v Speaker 4>not going to give money to somebody else.

0:53:53.780 --> 0:53:55.719
<v Speaker 5>We'll see. We'll see if it happens. It'd be so

0:53:55.760 --> 0:53:58.279
<v Speaker 5>fun if it didn't, if shit went down on April 1st,

0:53:58.590 --> 0:53:59.570
<v Speaker 5>April fool's day.

0:53:59.750 --> 0:54:00.010
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:54:00.250 --> 0:54:02.050
<v Speaker 5>God, that'd be, that'd be a great prank.

0:54:02.469 --> 0:54:04.070
<v Speaker 1>I wonder who owns the building.

0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:07.310
<v Speaker 4>Do you think the person who owns the building is

0:54:07.370 --> 0:54:08.609
<v Speaker 4>going to lock him out?

0:54:08.950 --> 0:54:11.670
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think the rent is probably pretty high,

0:54:11.690 --> 0:54:15.410
<v Speaker 5>you know, considering how much space he has and how

0:54:15.430 --> 0:54:17.529
<v Speaker 5>much overhead he's taken on.

0:54:17.570 --> 0:54:17.850
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:54:17.969 --> 0:54:20.990
<v Speaker 5>So, yeah, I think they might. Yeah.

0:54:21.230 --> 0:54:23.450
<v Speaker 4>It would almost have made more sense to him, you know,

0:54:23.510 --> 0:54:24.790
<v Speaker 4>at this point in time, it would have made more

0:54:24.830 --> 0:54:26.210
<v Speaker 4>sense for him to have bought the building.

0:54:26.610 --> 0:54:26.870
<v Speaker 1>But.

0:54:27.450 --> 0:54:29.250
<v Speaker 5>I thought he did, honestly.

0:54:29.290 --> 0:54:32.310
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time, now he's protected from the

0:54:32.350 --> 0:54:35.669
<v Speaker 4>building being sold away from him by having to pay rent.

0:54:36.010 --> 0:54:36.290
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:54:36.390 --> 0:54:38.430
<v Speaker 5>I guess if he owned it, the asset could have

0:54:38.469 --> 0:54:44.130
<v Speaker 5>been seized already. So Alex gets to some other news items,

0:54:44.469 --> 0:54:46.880
<v Speaker 5>and some of them are weird.

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you're a radio listener, you don't see this.

0:54:50.580 --> 0:54:53.080
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't seem real, but it's real. It's not AI.

0:54:53.920 --> 0:54:57.260
<v Speaker 3>Melania Trump marching through the White House on red carpet...

0:54:57.930 --> 0:55:12.080
<v Speaker 3>With a humanoid robot. Meeting with the first man or

0:55:12.260 --> 0:55:17.719
<v Speaker 3>second man, the Macron's, whatever it is he's married to.

0:55:19.690 --> 0:55:21.170
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to hit this more later. We've got a

0:55:21.190 --> 0:55:22.470
<v Speaker 3>guest popping in. It's really important.

0:55:22.969 --> 0:55:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Couldn't quite get the feel for his footing for the

0:55:26.900 --> 0:55:29.760
<v Speaker 5>what transphobic shit he was supposed to say about the McCrons.

0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:33.940
<v Speaker 5>So I think that for the most part, it's not

0:55:33.980 --> 0:55:36.319
<v Speaker 5>the best use of time to get overly invested in

0:55:36.340 --> 0:55:39.760
<v Speaker 5>the partners of public figures unless their career or personal

0:55:39.780 --> 0:55:43.660
<v Speaker 5>history illustrates an obvious conflict of interest for the person

0:55:43.700 --> 0:55:47.850
<v Speaker 5>in office. Otherwise, it just seems kind of unfair and petty.

0:55:48.719 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 5>Being the president is a public position, but it's also

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:54.360
<v Speaker 5>just a job. You're fulfilling a role, and the spouse

0:55:54.410 --> 0:55:57.430
<v Speaker 5>of the president wasn't elected into a position, they just

0:55:57.570 --> 0:56:00.130
<v Speaker 5>weren't a problem for the public in terms of voting

0:56:00.170 --> 0:56:03.850
<v Speaker 5>for their spouse. Obviously, some people are better than others,

0:56:03.930 --> 0:56:06.350
<v Speaker 5>and some can be more inspiring than others, but the

0:56:06.430 --> 0:56:09.870
<v Speaker 5>worst first spouse isn't really that much different than a

0:56:09.890 --> 0:56:14.290
<v Speaker 5>mediocre one, so I don't want to overanalyze Melania. That

0:56:14.330 --> 0:56:17.379
<v Speaker 5>being said... Alex has spent countless hours of his show

0:56:17.460 --> 0:56:21.000
<v Speaker 5>yelling about Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, and Hillary Clinton, so

0:56:21.060 --> 0:56:23.920
<v Speaker 5>his track record would indicate that he has serious concern

0:56:23.940 --> 0:56:26.120
<v Speaker 5>about the First Lady and what they do with their time.

0:56:27.260 --> 0:56:30.060
<v Speaker 5>In just the past month or so, Melania has released

0:56:30.100 --> 0:56:34.320
<v Speaker 5>a documentary on Jeff Bezos' platform Amazon, which was directed

0:56:34.360 --> 0:56:38.410
<v Speaker 5>by noted sexual harasser and guy who was creepily photographed

0:56:38.430 --> 0:56:42.530
<v Speaker 5>with Jeffrey Epstein, Brett Ratner. Now she's doing an event

0:56:42.570 --> 0:56:46.100
<v Speaker 5>at the White House, where she introduces a humanoid robot

0:56:46.180 --> 0:56:49.900
<v Speaker 5>that's supposed to replace teachers of the future. This was

0:56:50.239 --> 0:56:53.420
<v Speaker 5>supposed to be an education summit, but it seems like

0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:56.340
<v Speaker 5>it turned into a PR opportunity for the robotics company

0:56:56.400 --> 0:57:01.340
<v Speaker 5>that made this unit called Figure. In her speech, Melania said, quote,

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:05.150
<v Speaker 5>Very soon, artificial intelligence will move from our mobile phones

0:57:05.230 --> 0:57:10.150
<v Speaker 5>to humanoids that deliver utility. Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato.

0:57:10.800 --> 0:57:16.780
<v Speaker 5>Access to the classical studies is now instantaneous. Literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics,

0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:20.730
<v Speaker 5>and history. Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in

0:57:20.770 --> 0:57:23.870
<v Speaker 5>the comfort of your home. So Figure is a company

0:57:23.910 --> 0:57:27.650
<v Speaker 5>that's owned by Brett Adcock, who literally said, quote, As

0:57:27.710 --> 0:57:31.990
<v Speaker 5>these robots join the workforce, everywhere from factories to farmland,

0:57:32.070 --> 0:57:34.850
<v Speaker 5>the cost of labor will decrease until it becomes equivalent

0:57:34.870 --> 0:57:38.060
<v Speaker 5>to the price of renting a robot, facilitating a long-term

0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:42.610
<v Speaker 5>holistic solution to costs. Over time, humans could leave the

0:57:42.650 --> 0:57:46.090
<v Speaker 5>loop altogether as robots become capable of building other robots,

0:57:46.410 --> 0:57:50.930
<v Speaker 5>driving prices down even more. During COVID, one of Alex's

0:57:50.970 --> 0:57:54.850
<v Speaker 5>big catchphrases was about how the globalists see the public

0:57:54.910 --> 0:57:58.820
<v Speaker 5>based on their use of the term inessential workers. Klaus

0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:00.960
<v Speaker 5>Schwab wants you to stay home because he doesn't think

0:58:00.980 --> 0:58:04.810
<v Speaker 5>you're essential. You're going to be replaced. This is a

0:58:04.870 --> 0:58:08.470
<v Speaker 5>deceptively important point, which is that the Trump administration is

0:58:08.530 --> 0:58:11.030
<v Speaker 5>not just like what they're doing. It's not just a

0:58:11.050 --> 0:58:13.560
<v Speaker 5>slap in the face of where Alex is supposed to

0:58:13.600 --> 0:58:16.820
<v Speaker 5>stand in terms of launching a war with Iran. He

0:58:16.860 --> 0:58:20.610
<v Speaker 5>should view their actions as deeply anti-human and part of

0:58:20.640 --> 0:58:24.870
<v Speaker 5>a transhumanist takeover. He should think they're doing the work

0:58:25.030 --> 0:58:28.930
<v Speaker 5>of the devils. Melania is introducing, like, they made a

0:58:28.990 --> 0:58:32.630
<v Speaker 5>big PR blitz out of, like, it's the first humanoid

0:58:32.770 --> 0:58:37.390
<v Speaker 5>to appear at the White House. Like, they're, you're, these

0:58:37.430 --> 0:58:39.410
<v Speaker 5>people do want to replace labor.

0:58:40.410 --> 0:58:45.669
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I'm, boy, so this, so my volcano tribe, right?

0:58:47.430 --> 0:58:50.240
<v Speaker 4>I think we've got a lot of good ideas, and

0:58:50.300 --> 0:58:53.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm willing to share them with the United States government

0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:55.510
<v Speaker 4>if they're willing to let me take over completely. and

0:58:55.550 --> 0:58:58.560
<v Speaker 4>solve things via volcano-based solution process.

0:59:00.260 --> 0:59:03.600
<v Speaker 1>That guy, it's amazing that you're allowed to say things

0:59:03.640 --> 0:59:04.470
<v Speaker 1>like that, right?

0:59:04.910 --> 0:59:08.350
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I know we were all against bullying when

0:59:08.390 --> 0:59:11.160
<v Speaker 4>we were younger, but I didn't know didn't know that

0:59:11.200 --> 0:59:13.120
<v Speaker 4>it was going to turn out like this, right? Like,

0:59:13.180 --> 0:59:16.240
<v Speaker 4>a guy can say words like that out loud without

0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:18.160
<v Speaker 4>anybody beating the shit.

0:59:17.980 --> 0:59:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Out of him, right?

0:59:19.630 --> 0:59:23.270
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's it's it's like, OK, yeah, it sounds pretty

0:59:23.370 --> 0:59:25.990
<v Speaker 5>good when you're saying you're going to drive down cost

0:59:26.220 --> 0:59:29.180
<v Speaker 5>until you understand that that cost when you what you're

0:59:29.220 --> 0:59:32.160
<v Speaker 5>translating is you getting paid.

0:59:32.300 --> 0:59:32.460
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:59:33.260 --> 0:59:37.400
<v Speaker 5>You having a job, you doing something, being able to

0:59:37.460 --> 0:59:40.320
<v Speaker 5>have a trade or whatever, like the cost is a

0:59:40.360 --> 0:59:41.580
<v Speaker 5>proxy for your trade.

0:59:42.510 --> 0:59:43.150
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:59:43.630 --> 0:59:45.910
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I thought it went one way.

0:59:46.210 --> 0:59:46.430
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:59:46.530 --> 0:59:50.570
<v Speaker 4>You think, oh, OK, well, these these supervillains, these evil

0:59:51.510 --> 0:59:52.600
<v Speaker 4>mad doctors types.

0:59:53.060 --> 0:59:53.260
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:59:53.700 --> 0:59:55.540
<v Speaker 1>They're mad because they were bullied.

0:59:55.580 --> 0:59:57.800
<v Speaker 4>And if we don't bully them, then we don't wind

0:59:57.900 --> 1:00:00.520
<v Speaker 4>up with those evil doctor types. But now what we're

1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:04.510
<v Speaker 4>seeing is that they always wanted to replace humanity from

1:00:04.570 --> 1:00:04.970
<v Speaker 4>the jump.

1:00:05.890 --> 1:00:08.470
<v Speaker 1>From the jump. They knew what they were doing.

1:00:08.990 --> 1:00:11.430
<v Speaker 5>I worry that you're coming at this from the wrong perspective.

1:00:11.630 --> 1:00:14.490
<v Speaker 5>I think that maybe bullying creates.

1:00:14.650 --> 1:00:16.290
<v Speaker 1>That's what a lot of my teachers told me too.

1:00:17.310 --> 1:00:18.700
<v Speaker 5>But hear me out on this. Hear me out on this.

1:00:18.820 --> 1:00:22.940
<v Speaker 5>I think that the bullying creates a greater quantity of

1:00:23.000 --> 1:00:27.200
<v Speaker 5>these evil doctors, but the lack of bullying allows the

1:00:27.340 --> 1:00:30.900
<v Speaker 5>ones that would inevitably exist to be so much better

1:00:30.960 --> 1:00:34.630
<v Speaker 5>and more powerful. They're sharper. It's, quality over quantity.

1:00:34.710 --> 1:00:35.670
<v Speaker 1>It's trees.

1:00:36.070 --> 1:00:38.610
<v Speaker 4>It's the tree situation, right? You got to keep all

1:00:38.670 --> 1:00:41.180
<v Speaker 4>the trees the same size. Otherwise, the ones that get

1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:42.880
<v Speaker 4>high will choke out all the other trees.

1:00:43.220 --> 1:00:46.280
<v Speaker 5>Right, right. You know that Rush song that's about this.

1:00:48.060 --> 1:00:54.330
<v Speaker 5>There's trouble in the forest. There's an argument between the

1:00:55.270 --> 1:00:57.310
<v Speaker 5>maples and the oaks.

1:00:57.630 --> 1:00:57.970
<v Speaker 2>You're right.

1:00:58.030 --> 1:01:00.670
<v Speaker 1>We should be put in charge of things.

1:01:03.660 --> 1:01:07.900
<v Speaker 5>It's a good song. So, Alex, he said he has

1:01:07.940 --> 1:01:12.100
<v Speaker 5>a guest there, and he's going to introduce this guest.

1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:15.480
<v Speaker 5>And it's an interesting person for him to have on.

1:01:15.720 --> 1:01:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Now, Carrie Prejean Bowler is an amazing lady. I really

1:01:19.180 --> 1:01:23.040
<v Speaker 3>wanted to get her on. We've finally got her. And

1:01:23.420 --> 1:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>she's a wife, mother, devoted Catholic, and is a fearless

1:01:27.200 --> 1:01:29.670
<v Speaker 3>advocate for faith, traditional marriage, and parental rights.

1:01:31.030 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 2>And she's got a long bio... With Miss.

1:01:35.940 --> 1:01:42.290
<v Speaker 3>California famously chose conviction and didn't compromise with the left. Obviously,

1:01:42.310 --> 1:01:43.450
<v Speaker 3>you know, all the things that happened to her getting

1:01:43.470 --> 1:01:45.430
<v Speaker 3>targeted and all the backlash.

1:01:45.550 --> 1:01:49.070
<v Speaker 5>So Carrie Prejean was a pageant model who won Miss

1:01:49.090 --> 1:01:52.880
<v Speaker 5>California in 2009 and then came in second place for

1:01:52.980 --> 1:01:55.960
<v Speaker 5>Miss USA. Before I get into any of this, I

1:01:56.000 --> 1:01:57.640
<v Speaker 5>just want to say that I hate it all, and

1:01:57.680 --> 1:02:00.920
<v Speaker 5>that the world of pageants, particularly this scene, which was

1:02:01.100 --> 1:02:04.580
<v Speaker 5>incidentally owned by Donald Trump at the time, is very ugly.

1:02:05.530 --> 1:02:09.330
<v Speaker 5>So pre-Jean, she believed that she was the frontrunner to

1:02:09.370 --> 1:02:12.790
<v Speaker 5>win Miss USA 2009, but she was asked a question

1:02:12.810 --> 1:02:16.790
<v Speaker 5>about gay marriage by notably gay celebrity judge Perez Hilton.

1:02:17.570 --> 1:02:19.630
<v Speaker 5>The fact that Perez Hilton was one of the people

1:02:19.670 --> 1:02:21.820
<v Speaker 5>who was asking questions at this thing should give you

1:02:21.860 --> 1:02:24.870
<v Speaker 5>a sense of how classy it was. He was, if

1:02:24.910 --> 1:02:28.370
<v Speaker 5>you've forgotten, a blogger who got famous for making sensational

1:02:28.410 --> 1:02:33.300
<v Speaker 5>claims about celebrities and photoshopping cum onto their pictures. So

1:02:33.390 --> 1:02:35.620
<v Speaker 5>Billy Bush was the host of this event, who would

1:02:35.660 --> 1:02:37.939
<v Speaker 5>go on to be immortalized as the guy who Trump

1:02:37.980 --> 1:02:40.860
<v Speaker 5>was talking to when he said that grab-em-by-the-pussy stuff. So

1:02:40.920 --> 1:02:43.780
<v Speaker 5>this was almost like a weird inflection point for so

1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:46.180
<v Speaker 5>many threads. That go into the future.

1:02:46.440 --> 1:02:48.340
<v Speaker 1>I hate this world. I hate it so much.

1:02:48.820 --> 1:02:52.740
<v Speaker 5>Volcano. Anyway, she said that it was great that in

1:02:52.800 --> 1:02:56.370
<v Speaker 5>America you can choose, like gay people have rights and stuff,

1:02:56.570 --> 1:02:58.750
<v Speaker 5>but she believed that marriage was between a man and

1:02:58.770 --> 1:03:01.650
<v Speaker 5>a woman, and she's been very clear that she thinks

1:03:01.710 --> 1:03:05.170
<v Speaker 5>that this answer lost her the title. Perez Hilton has

1:03:05.230 --> 1:03:07.680
<v Speaker 5>also said that this lost her the crown, but he's

1:03:07.720 --> 1:03:10.220
<v Speaker 5>a shit-talking troll, so it's hard to know if this

1:03:10.260 --> 1:03:12.220
<v Speaker 5>is sincere or him kind of just rubbing it in.

1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:15.740
<v Speaker 5>After she came in second, she was a darling with

1:03:15.780 --> 1:03:18.240
<v Speaker 5>the conservative press who were looking for figures that they

1:03:18.260 --> 1:03:20.780
<v Speaker 5>could prop up to prove that Christians were under attack.

1:03:21.160 --> 1:03:23.709
<v Speaker 5>And who better fit that bill than a beauty queen

1:03:23.750 --> 1:03:27.370
<v Speaker 5>who came in second after giving a mildly uninspired answer

1:03:27.430 --> 1:03:31.310
<v Speaker 5>to a question about gay marriage? The coming in second

1:03:31.410 --> 1:03:34.520
<v Speaker 5>part of this victim story kind of bothers me. I

1:03:34.600 --> 1:03:36.760
<v Speaker 5>get making that kind of argument if you were the

1:03:36.800 --> 1:03:39.780
<v Speaker 5>frontrunner and then you came in 40th, but in a

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:43.530
<v Speaker 5>pageant setting, I'm guessing there's not too much distance between first, second,

1:03:43.590 --> 1:03:48.490
<v Speaker 5>and third. If you came in second, you still almost won. Like,

1:03:48.530 --> 1:03:52.710
<v Speaker 5>they didn't turn against you that hard. So, from here,

1:03:52.850 --> 1:03:54.790
<v Speaker 5>things got ugly, and I don't want to get into

1:03:54.870 --> 1:03:57.630
<v Speaker 5>it too much, but she got in trouble for public

1:03:57.670 --> 1:04:01.130
<v Speaker 5>appearances that weren't in line with her contract with Miss America,

1:04:01.210 --> 1:04:04.130
<v Speaker 5>or Miss USA, excuse me, and there were some lawsuits.

1:04:05.030 --> 1:04:07.930
<v Speaker 5>These lawsuits stemmed from things like partially nude pictures of

1:04:07.970 --> 1:04:10.750
<v Speaker 5>her being released, which wasn't in line with the public

1:04:10.850 --> 1:04:14.120
<v Speaker 5>image that the pageant wanted to maintain. The pageant was,

1:04:14.300 --> 1:04:18.400
<v Speaker 5>if you've forgotten, owned by Donald Trump, so basically she'd

1:04:18.460 --> 1:04:21.730
<v Speaker 5>signed a contract with him and was in violation of it.

1:04:22.680 --> 1:04:25.600
<v Speaker 5>The problem wasn't really the gay marriage comments. It was

1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:28.390
<v Speaker 5>the way she acted after the pageant, which was not

1:04:28.450 --> 1:04:32.210
<v Speaker 5>profiting the pageant itself. Miss USA is a business, and

1:04:32.270 --> 1:04:34.550
<v Speaker 5>the women who compete in it are the products, and

1:04:34.610 --> 1:04:37.050
<v Speaker 5>she wasn't following through with what they needed from her.

1:04:37.930 --> 1:04:40.930
<v Speaker 5>So to put it in a nutshell, Prejean's contract with

1:04:41.010 --> 1:04:44.250
<v Speaker 5>Miss USA was terminated after racy photos of her came out,

1:04:44.670 --> 1:04:47.070
<v Speaker 5>and after the pageant learned that she was publishing a

1:04:47.150 --> 1:04:51.030
<v Speaker 5>book that they believed they had the rights to put out. Like,

1:04:51.050 --> 1:04:53.610
<v Speaker 5>they were being cut out of her book deal, and

1:04:53.660 --> 1:04:54.880
<v Speaker 5>they wanted money for it.

1:04:54.910 --> 1:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Right, let's, let's, it's money.

1:04:56.640 --> 1:04:58.820
<v Speaker 5>It's money. A lot of it is money, and image,

1:04:58.920 --> 1:05:02.800
<v Speaker 5>and like, you know, mostly money. She argued that she

1:05:02.840 --> 1:05:05.440
<v Speaker 5>was the victim of religious discrimination because of the gay

1:05:05.480 --> 1:05:08.680
<v Speaker 5>marriage answer, And the right wing media enabled her and

1:05:08.740 --> 1:05:11.940
<v Speaker 5>just cheered her on. She sued the pageant. And in

1:05:11.980 --> 1:05:14.200
<v Speaker 5>the course of that suit, a homemade sex tape of

1:05:14.280 --> 1:05:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Prejean when she was 17 was uncovered. That was, quote,

1:05:18.310 --> 1:05:22.070
<v Speaker 5>too racy for TMZ to post, which I think might

1:05:22.090 --> 1:05:23.330
<v Speaker 5>just mean illegal.

1:05:23.670 --> 1:05:26.110
<v Speaker 1>It's too illegal for anyone to have.

1:05:26.490 --> 1:05:28.890
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, TMZ, I don't know if too racy is the

1:05:28.930 --> 1:05:30.780
<v Speaker 5>way to put it. That kind of is a titillating

1:05:30.860 --> 1:05:31.390
<v Speaker 5>version of.

1:05:31.440 --> 1:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Wild.

1:05:32.260 --> 1:05:33.340
<v Speaker 5>Disgusting.

1:05:33.480 --> 1:05:36.940
<v Speaker 4>Any sex tape with a 17-year-old is an illegal sex tape.

1:05:37.520 --> 1:05:38.260
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ.

1:05:38.660 --> 1:05:41.720
<v Speaker 5>After that revelation, the two parties reached a quick settlement

1:05:41.760 --> 1:05:44.430
<v Speaker 5>that let Prejohn release her book, and it dropped all

1:05:44.450 --> 1:05:48.450
<v Speaker 5>the counterclaims made by Miss USA, which doesn't really look

1:05:48.510 --> 1:05:51.870
<v Speaker 5>that great when we know what we know about Trump now.

1:05:52.450 --> 1:05:56.450
<v Speaker 5>It looks real... Gross. So I disagree with all the

1:05:56.490 --> 1:05:59.330
<v Speaker 5>shit that Prejean stands for as a political figure, but

1:05:59.430 --> 1:06:01.430
<v Speaker 5>she got dealt a very bad hand by how she

1:06:01.450 --> 1:06:04.310
<v Speaker 5>was treated by the pageants and by the gossip media

1:06:04.430 --> 1:06:07.990
<v Speaker 5>in the late 2000s. This is a silly interview for

1:06:08.070 --> 1:06:10.570
<v Speaker 5>Alex to be doing, especially considering that her claim to

1:06:10.610 --> 1:06:14.260
<v Speaker 5>fame and the inciting incident of her religious persecution story

1:06:14.580 --> 1:06:20.030
<v Speaker 5>is about when she was fired by Trump's pageant. It's stupid.

1:06:20.330 --> 1:06:20.830
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:06:21.310 --> 1:06:21.530
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:06:21.570 --> 1:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>This one is frustrating. I don't like this one at all.

1:06:25.080 --> 1:06:25.780
<v Speaker 1>I don't one.

1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:28.500
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to take a side on anybody because

1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:31.700
<v Speaker 4>all of their whole thing, all of that is more

1:06:31.760 --> 1:06:35.880
<v Speaker 4>just like a society fucked up. Like everything about her

1:06:35.980 --> 1:06:39.020
<v Speaker 4>life is the result of a weird fucked up society.

1:06:39.360 --> 1:06:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Not necessarily like, you know, it's like RFK. She should

1:06:42.420 --> 1:06:45.010
<v Speaker 4>be crazy. She should be crazy. If you were raised

1:06:45.070 --> 1:06:48.870
<v Speaker 4>in pageantry, you're crazy. And it's a shock if you're fine.

1:06:49.670 --> 1:06:54.870
<v Speaker 4>And everybody should be applauded if they're just okay. So, yeah,

1:06:54.970 --> 1:06:57.190
<v Speaker 4>there's no point in time in this lady's life where

1:06:57.230 --> 1:07:00.330
<v Speaker 4>she hasn't been controlled or exploited by somebody who is

1:07:00.370 --> 1:07:03.470
<v Speaker 4>making money off of her for stuff she cannot control

1:07:03.570 --> 1:07:03.910
<v Speaker 4>or do.

1:07:05.310 --> 1:07:08.330
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. And I think that, you know, you're not that

1:07:08.590 --> 1:07:12.570
<v Speaker 5>old when you're going to be Miss Miss California. Yeah.

1:07:13.070 --> 1:07:16.670
<v Speaker 5>And you have this pageant circuit that you've been a

1:07:16.710 --> 1:07:19.070
<v Speaker 5>part of that is trying to make money off you

1:07:19.150 --> 1:07:21.330
<v Speaker 5>and use you in the way that they need. And

1:07:21.350 --> 1:07:27.150
<v Speaker 5>then you have this predatory fucking awful media embodied by

1:07:27.190 --> 1:07:31.340
<v Speaker 5>someone like Perez Hilton that also is trying to take

1:07:31.410 --> 1:07:33.580
<v Speaker 5>you down a bit in order to.

1:07:35.110 --> 1:07:37.530
<v Speaker 5>Make their money, and you have the right-wing media that

1:07:37.730 --> 1:07:41.420
<v Speaker 5>really wants gay marriage not to exist, and they're using

1:07:41.460 --> 1:07:45.460
<v Speaker 5>you as, like, a thing to further their goals and

1:07:45.500 --> 1:07:50.660
<v Speaker 5>their money streams. It's just, you can't possibly, like, I

1:07:50.680 --> 1:07:52.910
<v Speaker 5>don't know, you can't, I don't think there's a way

1:07:52.990 --> 1:07:58.130
<v Speaker 5>to assert your own independence in that situation. You're being...

1:07:58.280 --> 1:08:02.160
<v Speaker 5>fucked by too many really strong influences that are all

1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:02.920
<v Speaker 5>trying to use you.

1:08:03.020 --> 1:08:06.970
<v Speaker 1>And they're cleverer than you. They're, they're rich. They've got money.

1:08:07.010 --> 1:08:11.430
<v Speaker 1>They've got experience. You are just a person, which no

1:08:11.450 --> 1:08:12.510
<v Speaker 1>matter how great and.

1:08:12.550 --> 1:08:15.430
<v Speaker 4>Smart and powerful you are as a person, you're going

1:08:15.490 --> 1:08:18.490
<v Speaker 4>up against a hundred years of learning how to fuck

1:08:18.560 --> 1:08:21.740
<v Speaker 4>people over like you, you know, you don't have a shot.

1:08:22.160 --> 1:08:24.660
<v Speaker 5>And to be clear, I still think she sucks, but

1:08:25.390 --> 1:08:27.729
<v Speaker 5>I think it would be wrong not to acknowledge this

1:08:27.810 --> 1:08:29.780
<v Speaker 5>kind of like this kind of shit.

1:08:30.040 --> 1:08:30.140
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:08:31.030 --> 1:08:33.849
<v Speaker 5>So I think one of the problems that she has

1:08:33.910 --> 1:08:37.010
<v Speaker 5>is that she's a bit anti-Semitic, but also doesn't know

1:08:37.070 --> 1:08:38.400
<v Speaker 5>what anti-Semitism means.

1:08:38.689 --> 1:08:40.340
<v Speaker 6>I never thought in a million years that I would

1:08:40.380 --> 1:08:42.420
<v Speaker 6>serve on a religious liberty commission. And as soon as

1:08:42.460 --> 1:08:44.240
<v Speaker 6>I talk about a foreign country that I have no

1:08:44.340 --> 1:08:46.800
<v Speaker 6>interest in at all, I have no allegiance to at all.

1:08:46.840 --> 1:08:49.000
<v Speaker 6>This is a foreign government. And as soon as I

1:08:49.040 --> 1:08:51.469
<v Speaker 6>mentioned their name, all of a sudden I'm removed from

1:08:51.510 --> 1:08:54.150
<v Speaker 6>this commission simply because I'm not a Zionist. And I

1:08:54.290 --> 1:08:57.590
<v Speaker 6>asked the people on that commission who were testifying that day,

1:08:57.950 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 6>I said, is anti-Zionism anti-Semitism? I want to be very

1:09:02.380 --> 1:09:04.200
<v Speaker 6>clear on the terms here, which I have every right

1:09:04.240 --> 1:09:06.599
<v Speaker 6>to do as a commissioner. I want to define the terms.

1:09:06.620 --> 1:09:08.540
<v Speaker 6>I'm not just going to go along with this if

1:09:08.580 --> 1:09:11.519
<v Speaker 6>they're claiming that if I say the Jews killed Jesus,

1:09:11.560 --> 1:09:14.510
<v Speaker 6>that that's considered hate speech. I have a big problem

1:09:14.550 --> 1:09:15.410
<v Speaker 6>with that because that.

1:09:15.350 --> 1:09:16.729
<v Speaker 1>Is a historic fact.

1:09:17.070 --> 1:09:19.570
<v Speaker 6>That is a fact of history. And so if we're

1:09:19.610 --> 1:09:23.570
<v Speaker 6>now deeming certain parts of the New Testament as hate speech,

1:09:24.070 --> 1:09:27.019
<v Speaker 6>every Christian should be upset about that. Every American should

1:09:27.040 --> 1:09:28.920
<v Speaker 6>be upset about that. And I want to know, where

1:09:28.979 --> 1:09:32.860
<v Speaker 6>is this going to lead? The new IHRA definition on anti-Semitism,

1:09:32.880 --> 1:09:35.259
<v Speaker 6>you can go and read it. I mean, this is dangerous.

1:09:35.300 --> 1:09:37.410
<v Speaker 6>This is dangerous for free speech. So what's going to happen?

1:09:37.450 --> 1:09:38.750
<v Speaker 6>Are you going to start, are they going to start

1:09:38.770 --> 1:09:41.270
<v Speaker 6>arresting people? We're going to start putting people in jail,

1:09:41.770 --> 1:09:44.170
<v Speaker 6>taking away their First Amendment rights simply because we say

1:09:44.229 --> 1:09:47.290
<v Speaker 6>something to criticize Israel or the Jewish people?

1:09:47.350 --> 1:09:47.910
<v Speaker 1>We're not allowed?

1:09:47.990 --> 1:09:52.110
<v Speaker 6>Is that a sin to criticize the Jewish people? I

1:09:52.150 --> 1:09:55.150
<v Speaker 6>would really like to know. Is that considered hateful because

1:09:55.189 --> 1:09:58.310
<v Speaker 6>I'm criticizing a foreign government that is committing a genocide

1:09:58.340 --> 1:10:00.300
<v Speaker 6>in Gaza, and I have a duty as a Christian

1:10:00.320 --> 1:10:00.860
<v Speaker 6>to speak.

1:10:00.680 --> 1:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Out against that?

1:10:02.280 --> 1:10:04.840
<v Speaker 6>This is insane, and we must be pushing back against this.

1:10:06.000 --> 1:10:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever hear from President Trump?

1:10:09.070 --> 1:10:09.309
<v Speaker 3>No.

1:10:09.450 --> 1:10:13.190
<v Speaker 5>See, this is why Carrie probably isn't suited to handle

1:10:13.229 --> 1:10:15.990
<v Speaker 5>a subject like this. It's great that she has a

1:10:16.020 --> 1:10:19.099
<v Speaker 5>strong opposition to the government of Israel committing a genocide

1:10:19.140 --> 1:10:22.000
<v Speaker 5>in Gaza, but what exactly does that have to do

1:10:22.100 --> 1:10:25.140
<v Speaker 5>with whether or not Jews were responsible for killing Jesus?

1:10:26.120 --> 1:10:28.870
<v Speaker 5>In her mind, all this stuff is wrapped up and

1:10:28.930 --> 1:10:31.210
<v Speaker 5>intertwined in a way that makes dealing with the real

1:10:31.250 --> 1:10:35.570
<v Speaker 5>world almost impossible. Also, the last like 10, 15 seconds

1:10:35.610 --> 1:10:38.240
<v Speaker 5>of that clip, made me think, like, Alex is probably eating.

1:10:38.260 --> 1:10:38.540
<v Speaker 2>Totally.

1:10:38.540 --> 1:10:38.580
<v Speaker 6>100%.

1:10:38.580 --> 1:10:40.340
<v Speaker 5>Because it seemed like she had to fill space and

1:10:40.380 --> 1:10:42.180
<v Speaker 5>vamp because Alex wasn't there.

1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:45.900
<v Speaker 4>She absolutely was like, I am expecting an answer. And

1:10:45.939 --> 1:10:48.229
<v Speaker 4>when one was not forthcoming, she scrambled.

1:10:48.430 --> 1:10:52.870
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. So Carrie was put on this religious liberty committee

1:10:52.950 --> 1:10:55.830
<v Speaker 5>created by Trump, which honestly should have been her first

1:10:55.910 --> 1:10:59.270
<v Speaker 5>clue that this wasn't a serious thing. Her second clue

1:10:59.290 --> 1:11:01.730
<v Speaker 5>should have come when she realized who else was on

1:11:01.750 --> 1:11:04.889
<v Speaker 5>this committee. The chair of that group is Dan Patrick,

1:11:04.939 --> 1:11:07.549
<v Speaker 5>a former talk show host and lieutenant governor of Texas.

1:11:08.189 --> 1:11:10.730
<v Speaker 5>The vice chairman is Ben Carson, who has some interesting

1:11:10.790 --> 1:11:15.590
<v Speaker 5>ideas about pyramids. Then you've got Billy Graham's son, Dr. Phil,

1:11:15.870 --> 1:11:19.630
<v Speaker 5>and Paula White Kane. She should have walked into that room,

1:11:19.770 --> 1:11:22.670
<v Speaker 5>seen the collection of clowns and frauds that Trump chose,

1:11:22.950 --> 1:11:24.950
<v Speaker 5>and realized that this really has nothing to do with

1:11:25.030 --> 1:11:29.719
<v Speaker 5>religious liberty, and that scam-based Christians were heavily overrepresented in

1:11:29.760 --> 1:11:34.500
<v Speaker 5>that group. she might have some serious actual convictions. She

1:11:34.540 --> 1:11:37.400
<v Speaker 5>might not, but no matter what, it's very sad to

1:11:37.439 --> 1:11:40.690
<v Speaker 5>hear someone who is appointed to Trump's religious liberty committee

1:11:40.780 --> 1:11:44.430
<v Speaker 5>whining about how it wasn't serious enough. Like, come on,

1:11:44.530 --> 1:11:47.710
<v Speaker 5>come the fuck on. Look at who you're talking to. Dr.

1:11:47.850 --> 1:11:49.330
<v Speaker 5>Phil is in this group.

1:11:50.130 --> 1:11:50.390
<v Speaker 3>What?

1:11:51.270 --> 1:11:51.470
<v Speaker 5>Yep.

1:11:52.430 --> 1:11:52.710
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:11:52.790 --> 1:11:56.620
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think, I think it would, it's, I

1:11:56.660 --> 1:12:01.110
<v Speaker 4>think it would qualify for, As evidence of you not

1:12:01.150 --> 1:12:04.379
<v Speaker 4>having serious convictions to simply be in the room with

1:12:04.400 --> 1:12:06.840
<v Speaker 4>those people and have a conversation.

1:12:07.600 --> 1:12:08.860
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I mean?

1:12:09.260 --> 1:12:11.580
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and be acting like you're getting some real business

1:12:11.600 --> 1:12:12.180
<v Speaker 5>taken care of.

1:12:12.220 --> 1:12:16.260
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, in every way, if you have a sincere connection

1:12:16.300 --> 1:12:18.840
<v Speaker 4>to your faith, those people are the.

1:12:20.500 --> 1:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Fucking bane of your existence.

1:12:23.180 --> 1:12:27.620
<v Speaker 4>They render all sincerity of belief pointless and meaningless in.

1:12:27.580 --> 1:12:30.820
<v Speaker 1>The public sphere. They make it so only somebody.

1:12:30.780 --> 1:12:34.930
<v Speaker 4>Quietly and privately worshiping in their own way can have

1:12:35.150 --> 1:12:37.240
<v Speaker 4>any possibility of sincere belief in it.

1:12:37.430 --> 1:12:39.050
<v Speaker 1>So you should be fucking furious at them.

1:12:39.310 --> 1:12:44.370
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. On one level, there's, um, you know, obviously what

1:12:44.390 --> 1:12:49.690
<v Speaker 5>appears to be almost no, uh, Muslim representation here at all. Uh,

1:12:50.560 --> 1:12:54.080
<v Speaker 5>But then, yeah, even if you're just, like, concerned about Christianity, like,

1:12:54.720 --> 1:13:00.010
<v Speaker 5>Paula White Kane is more insulting to Christianity than the devil. Yep. So, like,

1:13:00.030 --> 1:13:05.509
<v Speaker 5>you should protest quit if you're asked to join this group. Yeah,

1:13:05.550 --> 1:13:10.080
<v Speaker 5>if you care about what your beliefs are. Oh, well.

1:13:10.920 --> 1:13:11.780
<v Speaker 5>You can't win them all.

1:13:14.060 --> 1:13:15.059
<v Speaker 1>You know what? It's nice, though.

1:13:15.430 --> 1:13:17.990
<v Speaker 4>At least you're on the like based upon the list

1:13:18.030 --> 1:13:19.030
<v Speaker 4>that you have read for me.

1:13:19.450 --> 1:13:22.630
<v Speaker 1>She's on the bottom. So that's that's not bad. You know,

1:13:22.970 --> 1:13:23.969
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like.

1:13:23.790 --> 1:13:27.470
<v Speaker 5>Strong, strong disagree. I think she might be on the top.

1:13:28.470 --> 1:13:32.390
<v Speaker 5>In terms of Dr. Phil, Billy Graham's son. Right.

1:13:32.470 --> 1:13:36.590
<v Speaker 1>We've got the same thing, just a different scoreboard, right?

1:13:36.670 --> 1:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm golfing. Like, low score is the best score. That's

1:13:39.920 --> 1:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

1:13:41.320 --> 1:13:45.220
<v Speaker 5>And I also think she got kicked off the committee, too. So, like,

1:13:45.300 --> 1:13:47.640
<v Speaker 5>I think part of the reason she's on is to

1:13:47.700 --> 1:13:48.940
<v Speaker 5>talk about being kicked off.

1:13:49.100 --> 1:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Perfect.

1:13:49.850 --> 1:13:52.809
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Any club that won't have me as a member

1:13:52.930 --> 1:13:53.990
<v Speaker 5>is a bad club.

1:13:54.010 --> 1:13:55.290
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, something like that.

1:13:55.650 --> 1:13:58.230
<v Speaker 5>So they start talking about some news, and there's one

1:13:58.270 --> 1:14:01.290
<v Speaker 5>news story that has to do with a sheriff who's

1:14:01.370 --> 1:14:05.790
<v Speaker 5>upset that someone took pictures of him and put stars

1:14:05.850 --> 1:14:09.370
<v Speaker 5>of David on his face. And Alex is like, come on, guy.

1:14:09.700 --> 1:14:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, again, I go back to the Streisand effect. I

1:14:12.760 --> 1:14:14.620
<v Speaker 2>have dozens of clips just today. I already played some

1:14:14.640 --> 1:14:15.160
<v Speaker 2>of them before I got here.

1:14:16.470 --> 1:14:21.110
<v Speaker 3>With governors and legislators and sheriffs saying, you criticize Jews,

1:14:21.680 --> 1:14:22.120
<v Speaker 3>we're going.

1:14:22.020 --> 1:14:22.599
<v Speaker 2>To arrest you.

1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, they don't tell you when you dig in that

1:14:24.620 --> 1:14:26.480
<v Speaker 3>they'll find if you have a warrant or they'll get

1:14:26.500 --> 1:14:28.500
<v Speaker 3>you for something else, but they go and arrest you

1:14:28.680 --> 1:14:31.260
<v Speaker 3>for putting a star of David on the sheriff.

1:14:31.420 --> 1:14:34.309
<v Speaker 2>You're a public figure, sheriff. So what if somebody does that?

1:14:34.689 --> 1:14:35.150
<v Speaker 1>Move on.

1:14:35.189 --> 1:14:37.850
<v Speaker 2>I get criticized all day long. And again, I literally

1:14:37.870 --> 1:14:38.710
<v Speaker 2>am not an enemy of Israel.

1:14:38.890 --> 1:14:41.349
<v Speaker 5>It's really wild to hear Alex have that kind of take.

1:14:42.000 --> 1:14:44.700
<v Speaker 5>He's saying that people who have had their signs defaced

1:14:44.780 --> 1:14:46.680
<v Speaker 5>in a clear attempt to single them out as a

1:14:46.700 --> 1:14:51.180
<v Speaker 5>target for anti-Semitic harassment should just move on. Like, how

1:14:51.200 --> 1:14:54.160
<v Speaker 5>would he feel if Christian public figures were having crosses

1:14:54.260 --> 1:14:57.700
<v Speaker 5>graffitied over their faces? Would he think that was no

1:14:57.740 --> 1:14:59.820
<v Speaker 5>big deal, or would he see it as a very

1:15:00.060 --> 1:15:04.280
<v Speaker 5>obvious anti-Christian message that someone was trying to send? For

1:15:04.380 --> 1:15:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Alex to think that this kind of argument is going

1:15:06.340 --> 1:15:08.580
<v Speaker 5>to land, he has to think that his audience is

1:15:08.660 --> 1:15:11.940
<v Speaker 5>full of anti-Semites or idiots. Like they have to be

1:15:12.100 --> 1:15:16.589
<v Speaker 5>so fucking stupid in your mind if this is like,

1:15:16.600 --> 1:15:20.330
<v Speaker 5>oh yeah, you're a public figure, move on. It doesn't

1:15:20.350 --> 1:15:20.950
<v Speaker 5>mean anything.

1:15:21.920 --> 1:15:24.500
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't know. That's that's a sheriff on

1:15:24.560 --> 1:15:27.360
<v Speaker 4>sheriff battle where I'm where I'm from. Alex has got

1:15:27.400 --> 1:15:30.790
<v Speaker 4>his sheriffs. Other sheriffs have their sheriffs. The sheriffs have

1:15:30.830 --> 1:15:33.889
<v Speaker 4>to deal with it themselves. That's a sheriff based problem.

1:15:34.250 --> 1:15:39.599
<v Speaker 4>I neither condone nor deny or whatever it is.

1:15:39.939 --> 1:15:40.860
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff based.

1:15:41.650 --> 1:15:42.259
<v Speaker 2>Bullying.

1:15:42.640 --> 1:15:45.139
<v Speaker 5>While we're on the subject of sheriffs, I've been driving

1:15:45.180 --> 1:15:48.640
<v Speaker 5>a bit and, you know, I'm going largely through back

1:15:48.700 --> 1:15:53.620
<v Speaker 5>roads and just seeing the landscape, seeing America. And one

1:15:53.640 --> 1:15:55.309
<v Speaker 5>of the things I've noticed is a lot of places

1:15:55.360 --> 1:15:57.849
<v Speaker 5>are in the business of electing sheriffs. There's a lot

1:15:57.890 --> 1:16:00.590
<v Speaker 5>of signs for people running for sheriff of various places.

1:16:01.530 --> 1:16:04.890
<v Speaker 5>And one thing that I thought would be funny is

1:16:04.950 --> 1:16:09.570
<v Speaker 5>to start really caring about one of those races. Like,

1:16:10.360 --> 1:16:15.610
<v Speaker 5>really fucking attack just randomly one of the characters of

1:16:15.630 --> 1:16:19.330
<v Speaker 5>the person who's running for sheriff in Attica, Illinois. Just

1:16:19.650 --> 1:16:21.880
<v Speaker 5>really just fucking get in the mud.

1:16:23.420 --> 1:16:25.700
<v Speaker 4>I would go the other direction. I think we should

1:16:25.720 --> 1:16:30.439
<v Speaker 4>become a sheriff. And here's why, right? Not much real power,

1:16:31.020 --> 1:16:36.050
<v Speaker 4>but the power that's there, rife for exploitation. You can

1:16:36.130 --> 1:16:39.470
<v Speaker 4>abuse the shit out of that power. It makes more

1:16:39.550 --> 1:16:42.510
<v Speaker 4>sense to become sheriff as a money-making endeavor than any

1:16:42.550 --> 1:16:45.849
<v Speaker 4>kind of protecting the peace or anything like that.

1:16:45.890 --> 1:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy. You can steal shit left and right. That's

1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:51.180
<v Speaker 1>the way to do it.

1:16:51.479 --> 1:16:54.420
<v Speaker 5>You know who's sheriff of Santa Claus?

1:16:56.439 --> 1:16:56.900
<v Speaker 1>I do not.

1:17:02.910 --> 1:17:03.130
<v Speaker 5>No?

1:17:03.350 --> 1:17:05.950
<v Speaker 1>That's the end of our friendship. That was where it ended.

1:17:06.140 --> 1:17:06.820
<v Speaker 1>That was the moment.

1:17:07.979 --> 1:17:08.760
<v Speaker 5>That hurt.

1:17:08.900 --> 1:17:11.540
<v Speaker 1>That one, it did hurt. It did hurt, Dan. That's

1:17:11.560 --> 1:17:12.139
<v Speaker 1>what hurt me.

1:17:13.660 --> 1:17:15.620
<v Speaker 5>Should I have gone Rudolph? Would that have been better?

1:17:15.680 --> 1:17:18.100
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, because the red nose, man.

1:17:18.470 --> 1:17:21.150
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's like the sirens of the cop car. Cherries

1:17:21.210 --> 1:17:21.650
<v Speaker 5>and berries.

1:17:21.670 --> 1:17:22.570
<v Speaker 1>Cherries and berries.

1:17:23.350 --> 1:17:27.270
<v Speaker 5>So Carrie complains that there's a bit of Christianity that's

1:17:27.310 --> 1:17:29.410
<v Speaker 5>taken over that she is not a fan of.

1:17:29.990 --> 1:17:32.370
<v Speaker 6>I want to add about the Christian Zionists in this country,

1:17:32.410 --> 1:17:36.460
<v Speaker 6>Pete Hexeth, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, who say

1:17:36.500 --> 1:17:40.380
<v Speaker 6>if you don't bless Israel, you will be cursed. ultimately

1:17:40.420 --> 1:17:43.059
<v Speaker 6>is what they're saying. This is a theological discussion that

1:17:43.100 --> 1:17:46.269
<v Speaker 6>I think is very important. We are occupied in this country,

1:17:46.330 --> 1:17:48.610
<v Speaker 6>not only by a foreign government, but we are also

1:17:48.750 --> 1:17:54.019
<v Speaker 6>occupied by this Zionist ideology, this dispensational ideology, which has

1:17:54.080 --> 1:17:57.479
<v Speaker 6>hijacked our nation. And so this idea, Alex, I'm sure

1:17:57.520 --> 1:17:59.590
<v Speaker 6>you know about this. They believe in the rebuilding of

1:17:59.630 --> 1:18:03.350
<v Speaker 6>the temple in Jerusalem. They think that Israel has a separate,

1:18:03.570 --> 1:18:07.420
<v Speaker 6>there's a dual covenant between the church, you know, Christians

1:18:07.520 --> 1:18:10.180
<v Speaker 6>and the Jewish people. And so they need the dome

1:18:10.200 --> 1:18:11.900
<v Speaker 6>of the rock torn down. They need us to go

1:18:11.939 --> 1:18:14.549
<v Speaker 6>to war with the Muslims. in order for the rebuilding

1:18:14.590 --> 1:18:17.650
<v Speaker 6>of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. And the most anti-Christian

1:18:17.670 --> 1:18:19.550
<v Speaker 6>thing about it is that they're going to bring in

1:18:19.670 --> 1:18:24.750
<v Speaker 6>animal sacrifices again, Alex. This is anti-Christianity. And it's time

1:18:24.830 --> 1:18:27.910
<v Speaker 6>we as Christians speak out and reclaim our faith because

1:18:27.950 --> 1:18:30.990
<v Speaker 6>it's been hijacked by Ted Cruz who say, those who

1:18:31.030 --> 1:18:33.130
<v Speaker 6>bless Bibi Netanyahu's bombs will be blessed.

1:18:33.610 --> 1:18:35.590
<v Speaker 1>That is insane. That is evil.

1:18:35.729 --> 1:18:36.530
<v Speaker 2>It is heretical.

1:18:36.870 --> 1:18:41.019
<v Speaker 6>And we must call out this dispensational heretical theology. So.

1:18:41.560 --> 1:18:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Let's imagine that Kerry actually does believe that the way

1:18:44.740 --> 1:18:47.810
<v Speaker 5>that some of the Christian Zionists view the relationship between

1:18:47.850 --> 1:18:50.700
<v Speaker 5>God and Israel to be heretical. I'm not sure what

1:18:50.740 --> 1:18:53.019
<v Speaker 5>I think about her real beliefs, but she isn't giving

1:18:53.040 --> 1:18:55.420
<v Speaker 5>me any reason to doubt her sincerity in this interview,

1:18:55.760 --> 1:18:58.100
<v Speaker 5>other than the fact that it's happening on InfoWars, which

1:18:58.180 --> 1:18:59.620
<v Speaker 5>is at least.

1:18:59.939 --> 1:19:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Disqualifying.

1:19:01.420 --> 1:19:03.980
<v Speaker 5>I bring this up because I noticed something, which is

1:19:04.020 --> 1:19:07.250
<v Speaker 5>that Alex never tells people like Carrie about how God

1:19:07.350 --> 1:19:10.250
<v Speaker 5>talks to him and sends him on missions. He never

1:19:10.330 --> 1:19:13.770
<v Speaker 5>tells his guests like Carrie about the downloads of prophecy

1:19:13.810 --> 1:19:16.540
<v Speaker 5>he's been given, or how he always knows what time

1:19:16.600 --> 1:19:19.099
<v Speaker 5>it is in the middle of the night. I strongly

1:19:19.140 --> 1:19:22.160
<v Speaker 5>suspect that's because he has good reason to believe that

1:19:22.479 --> 1:19:25.340
<v Speaker 5>if he did show her that side of himself, she

1:19:25.380 --> 1:19:29.190
<v Speaker 5>would rightly think that he's crazy and promoting heresies. The

1:19:29.310 --> 1:19:32.229
<v Speaker 5>only reason that this conversation can happen is likely because

1:19:32.290 --> 1:19:35.270
<v Speaker 5>she doesn't listen to Alex's show and doesn't know who

1:19:35.310 --> 1:19:39.219
<v Speaker 5>he presents himself to be. And everyone can feel OK

1:19:39.520 --> 1:19:43.220
<v Speaker 5>as long as that kayfabe is maintained and kept up.

1:19:44.020 --> 1:19:47.260
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was wild how there was like the

1:19:47.300 --> 1:19:51.500
<v Speaker 5>last I think the last 2016 episode. we did involved

1:19:51.540 --> 1:19:56.120
<v Speaker 5>a guy who was yelling about Schofield dispensationalism. And now

1:19:56.660 --> 1:20:01.599
<v Speaker 5>here in the present day, Carrie is on complaining about dispensationalism.

1:20:02.020 --> 1:20:05.750
<v Speaker 5>It's like, it's not something that comes up all the time.

1:20:06.050 --> 1:20:10.610
<v Speaker 5>It's just a weird piece of tissue that's connecting. It's

1:20:11.410 --> 1:20:12.090
<v Speaker 5>freaking me out.

1:20:12.210 --> 1:20:15.050
<v Speaker 1>I really, these kinds of things really bum me out.

1:20:15.450 --> 1:20:16.129
<v Speaker 1>It's nicer.

1:20:16.330 --> 1:20:19.849
<v Speaker 4>I like it more whenever I can just like, compartmentalize

1:20:19.910 --> 1:20:23.170
<v Speaker 4>all these people into being like, oh, I believe in Jesus. And,

1:20:23.210 --> 1:20:25.950
<v Speaker 4>you know, let's just go to heaven and, you know,

1:20:25.970 --> 1:20:28.310
<v Speaker 4>that whole thing. Like, be nicer to people. I'm fine

1:20:28.330 --> 1:20:31.090
<v Speaker 4>when I can do that. Whenever it's like, oh, yeah,

1:20:31.130 --> 1:20:35.330
<v Speaker 4>that's right. A lot of very important decisions are made

1:20:35.450 --> 1:20:39.110
<v Speaker 4>on complete and utter pretend. Utter pretend that is made

1:20:39.170 --> 1:20:42.070
<v Speaker 4>up by lunatics to justify the insane things that they

1:20:42.140 --> 1:20:42.490
<v Speaker 4>want to do.

1:20:43.020 --> 1:20:44.100
<v Speaker 1>And that's just how we live.

1:20:44.540 --> 1:20:48.559
<v Speaker 4>So I get that she can very sincerely believe something

1:20:48.600 --> 1:20:51.880
<v Speaker 4>about dispensationalism, but it bums me out to know that

1:20:51.920 --> 1:20:53.220
<v Speaker 4>it exists, period.

1:20:53.939 --> 1:20:55.120
<v Speaker 1>It shouldn't.

1:20:55.600 --> 1:20:58.720
<v Speaker 5>And that debate is being had by people who might

1:20:58.760 --> 1:21:02.280
<v Speaker 5>be on committees that are appointed by a lunatic fucking

1:21:02.340 --> 1:21:03.480
<v Speaker 5>out-of-control president.

1:21:03.500 --> 1:21:04.580
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

1:21:04.780 --> 1:21:07.059
<v Speaker 5>No good. It's all insane.

1:21:07.120 --> 1:21:07.260
<v Speaker 6>Yep.

1:21:07.280 --> 1:21:07.960
<v Speaker 5>It's all insane.

1:21:08.000 --> 1:21:08.100
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

1:21:09.130 --> 1:21:11.970
<v Speaker 5>So we have one last clip because the rest of

1:21:11.990 --> 1:21:16.450
<v Speaker 5>the show is Alex believing he's simulcasting with the Hodge twins,

1:21:17.270 --> 1:21:20.150
<v Speaker 5>who are a couple of twins who loved Trump. And

1:21:20.350 --> 1:21:25.240
<v Speaker 5>they were the people who were, I believe, instrumental in

1:21:25.580 --> 1:21:30.400
<v Speaker 5>getting Bigley set up with Alex through Chase. I believe

1:21:30.439 --> 1:21:35.620
<v Speaker 5>that Chase maybe found out about them because the Bigley

1:21:35.660 --> 1:21:39.339
<v Speaker 5>was working with the Hodge twins and And then he

1:21:41.020 --> 1:21:43.059
<v Speaker 5>I don't know all the details, but I understand that.

1:21:43.240 --> 1:21:47.840
<v Speaker 4>This arrangement congealed amongst these fucking grifter monsters.

1:21:47.900 --> 1:21:48.139
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

1:21:49.020 --> 1:21:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:21:49.550 --> 1:21:53.070
<v Speaker 5>And so the two of them have been quite and

1:21:53.210 --> 1:21:56.450
<v Speaker 5>like they've just decided that they're against Trump pretty much

1:21:57.689 --> 1:22:03.679
<v Speaker 5>and and quite anti-Israel and. The interview itself is very, very,

1:22:03.760 --> 1:22:07.920
<v Speaker 5>it seems to be like, all right, fuck Trump. He's done.

1:22:08.340 --> 1:22:11.950
<v Speaker 5>He's screwed everyone over. And then we get to this moment,

1:22:12.050 --> 1:22:14.400
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, why is anyone even talking?

1:22:14.580 --> 1:22:17.080
<v Speaker 7>You're exactly right. I don't know how he turns this around.

1:22:17.220 --> 1:22:17.420
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1:22:17.700 --> 1:22:20.640
<v Speaker 7>Maybe, Alex, maybe he looks at us like three idiots.

1:22:21.060 --> 1:22:25.780
<v Speaker 7>We take over the Strait of Hormuz. If things go successful,

1:22:25.820 --> 1:22:29.689
<v Speaker 7>there's minimal losses with our military, and he makes us

1:22:29.729 --> 1:22:32.410
<v Speaker 7>like idiots. But I don't see that happening because Iran

1:22:32.450 --> 1:22:33.769
<v Speaker 7>is like twice the military.

1:22:33.990 --> 1:22:35.930
<v Speaker 3>You just read my mind. I was about to say,

1:22:35.990 --> 1:22:37.769
<v Speaker 3>I hope he succeeds. We'll be back in 60 seconds.

1:22:38.010 --> 1:22:38.650
<v Speaker 3>Let's come back to that.

1:22:38.729 --> 1:22:40.690
<v Speaker 5>What does it matter if he succeeds? I mean, it

1:22:40.750 --> 1:22:43.470
<v Speaker 5>matters for logistics in terms of like, yeah, we don't

1:22:43.510 --> 1:22:46.229
<v Speaker 5>want more people to die. But the actions that he's

1:22:46.270 --> 1:22:50.450
<v Speaker 5>taken are the actions. Like, yes, if it works out

1:22:51.150 --> 1:22:55.280
<v Speaker 5>and things go better, great. He still violated the Constitution.

1:22:55.620 --> 1:23:00.520
<v Speaker 5>And just because the end is better than it could

1:23:00.560 --> 1:23:04.120
<v Speaker 5>have been, that doesn't justify the means that you're supposed

1:23:04.160 --> 1:23:07.910
<v Speaker 5>to be against. So this conversation just seems stupid. Like,

1:23:07.990 --> 1:23:10.160
<v Speaker 5>who cares if he makes you look like an idiot

1:23:10.300 --> 1:23:12.970
<v Speaker 5>at the end? I mean, I look like an idiot now.

1:23:13.030 --> 1:23:14.990
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's, I think that's the point.

1:23:15.170 --> 1:23:16.470
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what they are.

1:23:16.790 --> 1:23:20.790
<v Speaker 4>They're inadvertently describing what the real stakes for them are

1:23:21.510 --> 1:23:25.080
<v Speaker 4>is not like, Oh, I like it for them. Even

1:23:25.160 --> 1:23:27.340
<v Speaker 4>it's not even gas prices or, or the cost of

1:23:27.360 --> 1:23:30.880
<v Speaker 4>food or anything. They're insulated from the true damages that

1:23:30.920 --> 1:23:34.160
<v Speaker 4>can be fucking wreaked upon people who don't have just

1:23:34.240 --> 1:23:37.280
<v Speaker 4>enough to squeak over that line. So what really matters

1:23:37.320 --> 1:23:41.590
<v Speaker 4>to them about all of this is that, if Trump wins, uh,

1:23:41.750 --> 1:23:45.830
<v Speaker 4>then at least we get to continue liking Trump because, well, I,

1:23:46.090 --> 1:23:47.389
<v Speaker 4>I admit I'm eating crow.

1:23:47.689 --> 1:23:50.130
<v Speaker 1>Trump was right. We're on his team.

1:23:50.630 --> 1:23:50.890
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:23:51.110 --> 1:23:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, they, they, and I think that what it, what

1:23:54.780 --> 1:23:57.060
<v Speaker 5>it comes down to more than anything is that like

1:23:57.140 --> 1:24:02.360
<v Speaker 5>they underneath the surface, they all understand that, that they're

1:24:02.479 --> 1:24:06.170
<v Speaker 5>on Trump's team. And if he succeeds, uh, then there's

1:24:06.189 --> 1:24:09.730
<v Speaker 5>the proximity to power that will be maintained. And that's

1:24:09.770 --> 1:24:12.030
<v Speaker 5>a familiar game that they've been playing for like the

1:24:12.090 --> 1:24:15.630
<v Speaker 5>last decade. I think people like, you know, people who

1:24:15.670 --> 1:24:18.230
<v Speaker 5>are in the spaces that are like the Hodge twins

1:24:18.689 --> 1:24:22.229
<v Speaker 5>who are more ready to break away from Trump and

1:24:22.290 --> 1:24:25.910
<v Speaker 5>be like, nah, not into this guy. I think that even,

1:24:27.140 --> 1:24:31.860
<v Speaker 5>even they would rather like Trump succeed and them be

1:24:32.000 --> 1:24:35.380
<v Speaker 5>able to Like, oh, yeah, look, hey, things were bad

1:24:35.420 --> 1:24:37.559
<v Speaker 5>for a little bit, but we're back on this, you know, hey,

1:24:37.620 --> 1:24:41.560
<v Speaker 5>everything's worked out. Because I think that that's easier and

1:24:41.600 --> 1:24:46.790
<v Speaker 5>it's clearly been more profitable. But yeah, Alex doesn't have

1:24:46.810 --> 1:24:47.230
<v Speaker 5>a choice.

1:24:47.850 --> 1:24:48.050
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:24:48.430 --> 1:24:51.770
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the hard choice for them is fairly obvious, right?

1:24:51.870 --> 1:24:54.510
<v Speaker 4>Like, if you want to say we're in an electoral

1:24:54.550 --> 1:24:57.820
<v Speaker 4>republic or anything like that, your only real consequence that

1:24:57.900 --> 1:25:00.860
<v Speaker 4>you can apply is to your elected officials is to

1:25:00.979 --> 1:25:01.679
<v Speaker 4>unelect them.

1:25:02.240 --> 1:25:04.860
<v Speaker 1>If that's the case, then the hard choice is to say.

1:25:05.240 --> 1:25:08.400
<v Speaker 4>We have to vote for not Republicans or not vote.

1:25:08.960 --> 1:25:11.160
<v Speaker 4>That is what has to be done. And none of

1:25:11.220 --> 1:25:14.500
<v Speaker 4>them want to say that. That's really scary. That removes

1:25:14.620 --> 1:25:16.520
<v Speaker 4>all lesser of two evils arguments, period.

1:25:17.080 --> 1:25:19.300
<v Speaker 5>I think the Hodge, I don't listen to their show

1:25:19.340 --> 1:25:21.469
<v Speaker 5>or anything, but I get the sense that they are

1:25:21.780 --> 1:25:24.690
<v Speaker 5>in a don't vote for Trump kind of state. And

1:25:24.729 --> 1:25:26.850
<v Speaker 5>I think that, you know, like Nick Fuentes has been

1:25:26.870 --> 1:25:30.520
<v Speaker 5>super clear about that. But yeah, Alex can't escape from

1:25:30.640 --> 1:25:33.740
<v Speaker 5>the like, I'm in a battle against the devil. And also,

1:25:34.460 --> 1:25:38.130
<v Speaker 5>let's look at the congressional district map. Yeah. Like, I

1:25:39.990 --> 1:25:41.330
<v Speaker 5>don't know, man.

1:25:41.390 --> 1:25:44.930
<v Speaker 1>Those two, they'll fall in line. They'll all fall in

1:25:44.970 --> 1:25:45.930
<v Speaker 1>line sooner or later.

1:25:48.150 --> 1:25:54.000
<v Speaker 5>Once the prophet motive is acute enough. Yep. Yeah, we'll see.

1:25:54.640 --> 1:25:57.180
<v Speaker 5>But it was, you know, a little refreshing to have

1:25:57.260 --> 1:26:00.580
<v Speaker 5>Alex back in studio. And I will say, as much

1:26:00.640 --> 1:26:05.100
<v Speaker 5>as I relish him almost dying on Tim Pool's show, and, like,

1:26:05.220 --> 1:26:11.830
<v Speaker 5>it's pretty funny. Yeah. If I have to listen to

1:26:11.870 --> 1:26:15.150
<v Speaker 5>a guy for hours, I don't want to listen to

1:26:15.189 --> 1:26:18.890
<v Speaker 5>that voice he had recently. I'm glad his voice at

1:26:18.950 --> 1:26:20.429
<v Speaker 5>least sounds decent. Yeah.

1:26:21.220 --> 1:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I will also say this.

1:26:22.300 --> 1:26:25.820
<v Speaker 4>Uh, I prefer to defeat my enemy on the field

1:26:25.860 --> 1:26:27.650
<v Speaker 4>of battle. I do not want to find out that

1:26:27.670 --> 1:26:30.050
<v Speaker 4>he shit himself to death before we got into a fight, man.

1:26:30.490 --> 1:26:32.350
<v Speaker 1>That's, that's no fun. That's no fun.

1:26:32.710 --> 1:26:35.250
<v Speaker 5>See, not me. I'm, I'm the kind of guy, I'm

1:26:35.290 --> 1:26:38.490
<v Speaker 5>the kind of guy who, if I can like dodge

1:26:38.610 --> 1:26:41.750
<v Speaker 5>combat in a game, like a video game, I'm fine

1:26:41.770 --> 1:26:44.570
<v Speaker 5>with it. Like what was that? Uh, damn it. What

1:26:44.590 --> 1:26:46.560
<v Speaker 5>was the name of that game that I got deep

1:26:46.600 --> 1:26:47.400
<v Speaker 5>into for a minute?

1:26:47.640 --> 1:26:48.140
<v Speaker 1>Blueprints.

1:26:48.180 --> 1:26:56.630
<v Speaker 5>The, No, the space role-playing thing. The RPG. Outer Worlds,

1:26:56.710 --> 1:26:57.010
<v Speaker 5>I think.

1:26:57.490 --> 1:26:59.389
<v Speaker 1>Outer Worlds, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah.

1:26:59.930 --> 1:27:05.070
<v Speaker 5>I was so fine with just talking to the bosses

1:27:05.590 --> 1:27:09.510
<v Speaker 5>and not having to have an encounter and a fight.

1:27:09.710 --> 1:27:11.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't want the fight. You shit yourself over there,

1:27:11.760 --> 1:27:15.470
<v Speaker 5>that's fine. We're good. That's the difference between us.

1:27:15.610 --> 1:27:18.750
<v Speaker 4>But see, what you're describing is just a different form

1:27:18.830 --> 1:27:20.210
<v Speaker 4>of the same conflict.

1:27:20.630 --> 1:27:22.990
<v Speaker 1>By meeting your enemy on the field.

1:27:22.790 --> 1:27:26.300
<v Speaker 4>Of battle, you decided that not fighting was a victory,

1:27:26.350 --> 1:27:29.240
<v Speaker 4>so you've outsmarted your enemy and kept them from fighting

1:27:29.260 --> 1:27:31.900
<v Speaker 4>you and watched them defeat themselves. you weren't just like

1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:34.680
<v Speaker 4>outside and then you turn to the left and you're like, Oh,

1:27:34.700 --> 1:27:36.299
<v Speaker 4>the big boss guy just died.

1:27:36.320 --> 1:27:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh, well, I think that would be an interesting structure

1:27:40.760 --> 1:27:43.769
<v Speaker 5>for a video game. I might not dislike it. I

1:27:43.830 --> 1:27:45.269
<v Speaker 5>might be fine with that.

1:27:45.370 --> 1:27:48.870
<v Speaker 4>That would be an interesting structure. If you just sleep

1:27:48.930 --> 1:27:50.870
<v Speaker 4>long enough, the boss dies on his own.

1:27:52.070 --> 1:27:54.490
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. The point is that you want to fight. And

1:27:54.530 --> 1:27:57.200
<v Speaker 5>I think I'd be fine if you just had died

1:27:57.260 --> 1:27:57.519
<v Speaker 5>on Tim.

1:27:57.540 --> 1:27:58.620
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough. Fair enough.

1:27:59.920 --> 1:28:03.700
<v Speaker 5>But, um, Hey, this has been interesting. I hope it

1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:05.680
<v Speaker 5>all comes out all right. I'm sorry if there's a

1:28:05.720 --> 1:28:08.990
<v Speaker 5>bit of weird sound or anything is different. I know

1:28:09.030 --> 1:28:11.650
<v Speaker 5>that for me personally, I'm using a different mic and

1:28:11.689 --> 1:28:13.810
<v Speaker 5>it's not handheld and I feel fucked up.

1:28:13.850 --> 1:28:14.090
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

1:28:14.410 --> 1:28:15.900
<v Speaker 5>I need to get a new mic. I need to

1:28:15.910 --> 1:28:18.720
<v Speaker 5>get another mic that's handheld. Because I can't handle this

1:28:19.020 --> 1:28:19.800
<v Speaker 5>having both hands.

1:28:20.479 --> 1:28:21.860
<v Speaker 1>I can feel it from you.

1:28:21.939 --> 1:28:24.740
<v Speaker 4>I can feel that moment that when you you do

1:28:24.780 --> 1:28:27.580
<v Speaker 4>a show and then they they tell you a surprise.

1:28:27.960 --> 1:28:30.230
<v Speaker 4>We've only got a lapel mic or we don't have

1:28:30.280 --> 1:28:32.389
<v Speaker 4>a mic. You don't need it at all. And then

1:28:32.430 --> 1:28:35.610
<v Speaker 4>you're just doing stuff with your hands. The whole you're

1:28:35.650 --> 1:28:38.070
<v Speaker 4>like doing one of those. You're like waving them around.

1:28:38.110 --> 1:28:39.970
<v Speaker 4>You're like, this is not where my hands are supposed.

1:28:40.030 --> 1:28:42.070
<v Speaker 4>to go I should be holding a microphone in one

1:28:42.110 --> 1:28:42.509
<v Speaker 4>of them.

1:28:42.590 --> 1:28:44.890
<v Speaker 5>Yeah but I almost broke out into making like balloon

1:28:44.970 --> 1:28:47.460
<v Speaker 5>animals absolutely this podcast like I.

1:28:47.410 --> 1:28:49.070
<v Speaker 4>Don't know what to do how can you how can

1:28:49.100 --> 1:28:49.729
<v Speaker 4>you not.

1:28:50.070 --> 1:28:53.300
<v Speaker 5>Hopefully by my next stop I'll see some kind of

1:28:53.360 --> 1:28:57.100
<v Speaker 5>electronic store or something and go see if I can

1:28:57.160 --> 1:29:03.439
<v Speaker 5>find a handheld mic But yeah, this has been fun.

1:29:03.560 --> 1:29:04.840
<v Speaker 1>This has been fun.

1:29:05.310 --> 1:29:09.900
<v Speaker 5>I'm glad we can do this remotely from this horrible,

1:29:10.040 --> 1:29:10.860
<v Speaker 5>horrible town.

1:29:10.960 --> 1:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe it. Okay, so here's the thing. I

1:29:15.680 --> 1:29:18.220
<v Speaker 1>know why you can't tell me. I'm fine with why

1:29:18.260 --> 1:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell me.

1:29:19.360 --> 1:29:22.120
<v Speaker 4>But there are certain situations where if you just kind

1:29:22.180 --> 1:29:25.240
<v Speaker 4>of floated it, maybe we could have done a little

1:29:25.280 --> 1:29:26.059
<v Speaker 4>bit of punch up.

1:29:27.450 --> 1:29:29.550
<v Speaker 1>No and you wouldn't wind up at santa claus.

1:29:30.390 --> 1:29:34.410
<v Speaker 5>I i agree with where your heart is but i

1:29:34.470 --> 1:29:38.269
<v Speaker 5>think that this was inevitable no amount of like you

1:29:38.350 --> 1:29:40.610
<v Speaker 5>trying to be like don't go to fucking santa claus

1:29:40.670 --> 1:29:43.670
<v Speaker 5>indiana no amount of argument that you made would have

1:29:43.710 --> 1:29:46.950
<v Speaker 5>been able to dissuade me from thinking it was a

1:29:46.970 --> 1:29:50.530
<v Speaker 5>funny idea and that's that's my bad that's you know

1:29:50.550 --> 1:29:53.900
<v Speaker 5>like i own it And it's, it's a learning experience.

1:29:54.640 --> 1:29:57.000
<v Speaker 5>I've learned from this and I'm not going to do

1:29:57.040 --> 1:30:02.040
<v Speaker 5>it again. Good. Until I go to Mount Olympus, Indiana,

1:30:02.080 --> 1:30:04.130
<v Speaker 5>which is another town I might go to.

1:30:04.580 --> 1:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ.

1:30:05.340 --> 1:30:07.260
<v Speaker 5>We'll see. We'll see what happens.

1:30:07.479 --> 1:30:10.080
<v Speaker 4>If there is a similar statue of Zeus doing the

1:30:10.100 --> 1:30:12.740
<v Speaker 4>Heil Hitler, then we've got a real problem with Indiana.

1:30:12.960 --> 1:30:18.500
<v Speaker 5>I might be uncovering some hard truths. So we'll check

1:30:18.560 --> 1:30:22.160
<v Speaker 5>back in and see how things are going. Um, But

1:30:22.380 --> 1:30:24.160
<v Speaker 5>who knows where I'll be at that point?

1:30:24.460 --> 1:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Missives from the Far East.

1:30:28.780 --> 1:30:30.810
