WEBVTT - Gish Gallop (Part Two)

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>This is Red Pilled America. A quick question before we

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.959
<v Speaker 1>start the show. How many shows are there out there

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like Red Pilled America. You know the answer, it's zero

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and why because it's hard to produce a storytelling show.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Some cultures they've.

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Thrown children inside the bowels of its burning out.

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 4>In the world of Alex Jones, almost every major tragedy

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 4>was a government orchestrated operation.

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 3>They're totally brainwashing this country. In the submission and the

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>name of ending terrorism, when the federal government blew up

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 3>the Oklahoma City building, there you see the funeral pyre

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>burning with the effigy of a human or it could

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>be real, ladies and gentlemen.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 5>I remember the time ten to Alex and you know

0:01:04.039 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 5>that what you're saying about bohemian groves and true And

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Alex said, yeah, I'm not going to tell my listeners that.

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 4>The Bohemian groove attack could have been chalked up as

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 4>a fluke, but in the coming years this scene would

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 4>play out again. I'm Patrick Carelchi and I'm Adriana Cortes,

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 4>and this is.

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Red Pilled America, a storytelling show.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 4>This is not another talk show covering the day's news.

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 4>We're all about telling stories.

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 6>Stories.

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood doesn't want you to hear stories.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 4>The media mocks stories about everyday Americans that the globalist ignore.

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>You can think of Red Pilled America as audio documentaries,

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and we promise only one thing, the truth. Welcome to

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Red Pilled America.

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 6>To my girls, I love y'all more than anything in

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 6>the world.

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>It was the morning of December fourth, twenty sixteen, and

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Edgar Welch was alone in his car recording a message

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to his two daughters.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.919
<v Speaker 6>I can't let you grow up in a world that's

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 6>so corrupt by evil.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Driving northeast from Salisbury, North Carolina, Edgar believed he was

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>on his way to stop something horrible from happening.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 6>We got to at least stand up for you or

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 6>other children just like you.

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Days earlier, Edgar, a devout Christian, ventured down a dark

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>online rabbit hole one with videos, posts, and rumors about children,

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>hidden rooms, and powerful people. One video stood out. He

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>sent it to a friend with a simple message, watched

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Pizzagate The Bigger Picture on YouTube. It was a news

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>report that suggested that the mainstream media was involved in

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>a massive cover up about a Washington DC pizzeria that

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>was connected to a global elite pedophile. It was an

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>info Wars report, and the conspiracy theory influenced Edgar into acting.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 6>Like I've always told you, we have a duty to

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 6>protect people who can't protect themselves, to do for people

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 6>who can't do for themselves, and that's what I'm trying

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 6>to do. I hope you understand that. One day, I

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 6>love all y'all.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Hours later, Edgar parked near a Washington DC restaurant, grabbed

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>his rifle and a thirty eight caliber revolver, and entered

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Comet Ping Pong pizzeria, determined to save the children, and

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>when he did, his life was never the same again.

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>We're at part two of our series of episodes entitled

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Gish Gollop. We're looking for the answer to the question

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>why are conspiracy theories spreading by telling the story of

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a pioneer in the space Alex Jones, so to pick.

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Up where we left off in our last episode. In

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 4>two thousand and two, a troubled man with a superhero

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 4>complex decided he was going to save the children that

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 4>were being sacrificed at a campsite in northern California. After

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 4>watching the Info Wars documentary Dark Secrets Inside the Bohemian Grove,

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.679
<v Speaker 4>Richard McCaslin believed the film's thesis that elites were potentially

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 4>sacrificing kids to a huge owl statue as part of

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 4>a Satanic rite of passage. To the deeply Christian man,

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 4>this could not stand, so on January nineteenth, two thousand

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 4>and two, dressed in a superhero costume with the words

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Phantom Patriot painted across his chest, Richard infiltrated the Bohemian

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Grove with the full arsenal, But with no kids to

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 4>be saved or resistance forced to fight, he resorted to

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 4>his backup plan, burn it all down. Richard set a

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 4>building on fire, but it was quickly extinguished by sprinklers.

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 4>When the local authorities arrived, he surrendered and was arrested.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 4>The Bohemian Grove tale spun by Alex Jones, turned out

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 4>to be a hoax, the phantom patriot would be sentenced

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 4>to almost twelve years in prison. Now, just one crazed

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Alex Jones fan could be chalked up to being a fluke.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 4>But if another god fearing, conspiracy minded fan were to

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>be influenced into saving the children from elite pedophiles, well,

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 4>then some might begin questioning the business model of Alex Jones.

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 4>That moment would arrive after a tranch of emails were

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 4>leaked to the public. On October seventh, twenty sixteen, Wiki Leaks,

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 4>the non profit organization that publishes leaked documents, released thousands

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 4>of emails from John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 4>presidential campaign, and it wasn't the first leak of his emails.

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 4>In July twenty sixteen, on the eve of the Democratic

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 4>National Convention, WikiLeaks released the initial batch of Podesta emails.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 7>The Democratic National Committee's computers were hacked months ago and

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 7>looted tens of thousands of emails. The Clinton campaign is

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 7>blaming the theft on Russia.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 4>The emails revealed collusion between the Clinton campaign and the

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Democratic National Committee to shut out Bernie Sanders. This is

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 4>a crisis situation for them, They do expect that there

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 4>will be more leaks and that it could go on

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 4>for several more weeks, if not much. And they were right,

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 4>and when more of Podesta's emails leaked in early October

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 4>twenty sixteen, many believed that they were released to counter

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 4>the bombshell Access Hollywood tape of then presidential candidate Donald

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Trump speaking Ludeley.

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 8>It remains to be seen whether Donald Trump's campaign will

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 8>be able to recover from the video that is sending

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 8>shock waves through the nation's capital. Previously unaired footage from

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 8>two thousand and five was recently obtained by The Washington Post.

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 8>It shows the GOP nominee bragging about infidelity and being

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 8>able to grope women.

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 7>Wellk you some takebacks in cases that kissinger. Yet I'm

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 7>automatically Jack could the beautiable. I just started kissing them.

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.840
<v Speaker 9>It's like a magnet.

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 3>And when you were started, they let you do it.

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>You can do anything, but you grab them by the.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 10>I can do any of them.

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 4>So, with the legacy media executing what appeared to be

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 4>a hit job on Trump, his supporters were especially motivated

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>to find something anything salacious about Hillary Clinton in the

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Podesta leaked emails, an army of Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 4>four Chan users became Internet sleuths, scouring the emails looking

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 4>for any evidence of Hillary wrongdoing. But after weeks of combing,

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 4>the only major revelation was that Hillary spoke differently to

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Wall Street bigwigs behind closed doors. The salacious angle wasn't materializing.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Then a massive story sparked an idea.

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 11>With just over a week before election day, Hillary Clinton's

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 11>campaign is fighting a political firestorm that appeared to be

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 11>put out in July.

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 12>At the time, the Justice Department closed its criminal investigation

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 12>into her use of a private email server while she

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 12>was Secretary of State. Now, the FBI is reopening the

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 12>case after new emails were discovered in an unrelated manner.

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 13>The unearthed emails were from the FBI's investigation into disgraced

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 13>Congressman Anthony Weena. Weena stands accused of sending sexually explicit

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 13>messages to a fifteen year old and is married to

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 13>longtime Clinton aide Huma Aberdeen. Sources tell CBS News the

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 13>new trove of potentially thousands of emails were found on

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 13>a confiscated laptop shared by Weena and Aberdeen. When asked

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 13>about that possibility, Clinton called them rumors.

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 12>We don't know what to believe, and I'm sure there

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 12>will be even more rumors.

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 4>And Clinton was right. More rumors did begin to circulate.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 4>Within forty eight hours of the news, an anonymous Twitter

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 4>user posted that the emails on Anthony Wiener's laptop revealed

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 4>that Hillary Clinton was involved in a pedophile ring. The

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 4>post read quote.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 6>My source said, it's much more vile and serious than

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 6>classified material on Wiener's device.

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 13>We're talking an international child enslavement and sex.

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 4>Ring conspiracy theory. Sites ran with the rumor, including Alex Jones.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 3>When I think about all the children Hillary Clinton has

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>personally murdered and chopped up and raped, I have zero

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 3>fear standing up against her. Now you heard me right,

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children.

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Alex Jones brought a purported forensic investigator on info Wars,

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 4>a guy named Doug Hagman. Hagman claimed that his sources

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 4>were saying that they were uncovering some incredibly dark material

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 4>on Wiener's laptop.

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 11>My sources at the periphery of this investigation and even

0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 11>within NYPD said, look, this is not just about sex thing.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 11>This is not just about espionage. This is about child pornography.

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 11>This is all about sex trafficking, or a lot of

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 11>it's about sex trafficking.

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 4>And then the Info Wars guest connected the Wiener investigation

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 4>back to the Podesta emails published by WikiLeaks and what

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 4>he suggested would eventually grow into a massive conspiracy theory.

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 11>There is a subtext or coding to some of the

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 11>emails that Podesta and others have including Hillary. For example,

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 11>pizza party. I'll just leave this out there, pizza party.

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 11>That's not exactly what it means. You know, don't bring

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 11>a you know, don't bring your favorite video over for

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:42.479
<v Speaker 11>pizza knight. A pizza party is something that has sexual connotations.

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.680
<v Speaker 11>This is going to involve not just the Clinton campaign,

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 11>but it's also going to involve high levels, high congressional staffers,

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 11>high congression or high congressional honors. People they knew about this,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 11>they were part of this. Think of this as like

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 11>an electronic Bohemian grove, an electronic persistent bohemian grove. I

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 11>guess in the nutshet, we're seeing money laundering, child exploitations,

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 11>sex crimes with miners.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 10>We're gonna see video of a toddler getting chopped up.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 11>We're talking Jeffrey Dahmer kind of activity.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 4>The segment piled one salacious claim on top of another.

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 4>It was around this time that many so called Internet

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 4>salutes began to home in on what the Info War

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 4>segment highlighted. They focused on Podesta's emails related to food.

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Several emails included discussions about pizza. Some of the exchanges

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 4>sounded awkward and ambiguous. In one email, someone asked John

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.599
<v Speaker 4>Podesta quote, the realtor found a handkerchief.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 10>I think it has a map that seems pizza related.

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 10>Is it yours?

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 12>They can send it if you want.

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Podesta responded, it's mine, but not worth worrying about. In

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 4>another exchange, then Bill Clinton advisor Doug Band sent an

0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 4>attachment with the file name pizza dot jpeg. The image

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 4>showed American journalist Unilee and Laura Ling eating pizza with

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.079
<v Speaker 4>a young girl, reportedly Lee's daughter after being released by

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 4>North Korea. The two journalists had been held captive for

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 4>almost five months and sentenced to twelve years hard labor

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.959
<v Speaker 4>by North Korean courts, that is until Bill Clinton successfully

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 4>secured their release. In the body of the email, Clinton

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 4>advisor Doug Band said, as.

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 6>John said, it doesn't get any better than this.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 4>The message was sent to Hillary Clinton, aide whom Aberdeen, Podesta,

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and others. Podesta responded, nice. Now, any rational person could

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 4>see that the exchange was about how great it was

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 4>that two captive journalists were now free and enjoying a

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 4>meal with their child. That many of these online saluts

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 4>suggested something far darker was happening. The Internet detectives used

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 4>these strained connections to pizza to conclude that perhaps food

0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 4>was being used as code words. Others referenced to an FBI

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 4>document published by WikiLeaks subtitled Symbols and Logos used by

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 4>Pedophiles to Identify Sexual Preferences. In it, the document states quote,

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 4>pedophiles are using various types of identification logos or symbols

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 4>to recognize one another and distinguish their sexual preferences. The

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 4>Internet detectives started to believe that if pedophiles are using

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 4>symbols to communicate to one another, then perhaps Hillary Clinton's

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>campaign manager and by extension, Hillary were using pedophile codes

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 4>when referencing pizza. As this idea spread online, theory turned

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 4>to fact, and the sleuths continued looking for more hidden

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 4>messages in the emails, and in a matter of days,

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 4>the conspiracy theory snowballed from an online phenomenon to harassment

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 4>in the real world.

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing more that makes me happier than putting on

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a fire, propping up my feet, popping on a movie,

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and curling up next to the love of my life.

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>That being licorice from the Licorice Guy. I'm listening to

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>RPA for some time. Then you know that licorice is

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>my jam and that it does not get any better

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>than the gourmet licorice made by the Licorice Guy. They

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>have a great selection of flavors to choose from, like red, blue, raspberry, black,

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and green apple, just to name a few. The freshness

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of a licorice will blow your mind. Seriously, if you

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>haven't tried licorice from the Licorice Guy yet, then you

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>ain't living life right. Trust me, you will not regret it.

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>It's time to dump that store bought liquorice that's so

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>hard it'll break your teeth and get yourself the soft,

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>fresh stuff from the Licorice Guy. What I also love

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>about the Liquorice Guy is that it's an American family

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>owned business. It's made right here in the beautiful US

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Pilled America. So internet sloths began to lean into this

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>theory that Podesta and his cohorts were using pedophile coded

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>language when mentioning pizza. As this idea spread online, theory

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>turned to fact, and the sloths continued looking for more

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>hidden messages in the emails and even those connected to them.

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Once sleuth connected the phrase cheese pizza directly to pedophiles,

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>who are known to use the initial CP on chatboards

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to denote child pornography, cheese pizza and child pornography share

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the same initials, as urged by the Info Wars guest

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>pizza became a focus within the Podesta emails. Sloths noted

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that John Podesta corresponded with the owner of a Washington,

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>DC pizza rhea called Comet Ping Pong, a gay man

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 1>named James Alafhontas, who was connected to Democratic fundraisers and

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>once dated David Brock. Brock was the notorious Democrat political

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>operative and founder of Media Matters, the nonprofit purportedly dedicated

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>to taking down right wing media that spread misinformation. Another

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>sleuth noted that one of the logos on the FBI

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>document was similar to a ping pong paddle icon used

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>on the Comet Ping Pong menu. Alex Jones leaned into

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>this hidden code theory.

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you've been through it all, but

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 3>do you see this stuff with They're like, well, I

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 3>want more hot dogs than Hamburger, and I don't know

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 3>if I want that many nuts in the sauce, and

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 3>nuts means black people. And they're like, well, I know, Podesta,

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 3>you're a connoisseur of the right kind of you know,

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, pasta sauce.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 10>But do you really want this many nuts?

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Now I'm having to learn this is standard pedophile nomenclacier.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 4>What the hell?

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 14>And they are talking about child pornography, they're talking about

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 14>human trafficking.

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 3>They got kids disappearing from Haiti. The Clintons are vacationing

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 3>in Haiti, They're running child kidnapping rings. Folks, Hillary's involved,

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 3>of course she is. Look at that big, dominant, crazy

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 3>joker face. Man, That woman's a frickin' hell hound.

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Right up to the election, Anthony Wiener's laptop will reveal

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 2>evidence of an international child sex trafficking ring tied to

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>On the eve of election Day twenty sixteen, the hashtag

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>pizzagate was born. The slouths began tagging their findings with

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 1>the new pizzagate hashtag. The theory began to snowball catching

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 1>not only comet ping Pong, but also a neighboring pizzeria,

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and even bands that performed at the restaurant were implicated.

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Anything that looked ambiguous that was connected to comet ping

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Pong or the word pizza got swept into the theory.

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>When someone emailed John Podesta seemingly joking about being stuck

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>in a torture chamber, it became a sign that children

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>were being abused. Artwork on the walls of comet ping

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Pong were being interpreted as satanic. Anything that conspiracy sloths

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>considered weird got expanded into signs of an elite child

0:17:55.560 --> 0:18:00.040
<v Speaker 1>trafficking ring. Orchestrated by Hillary Clinton and John Podesta, all

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 1>hidden in plain sight. Kill rooms, underground tunnels, satanic rituals,

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and even cannibalism were thought to be housed at Comet

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Ping Pong. The owner of the pizzeria reportedly began receiving

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>death threats, but after weeks of speculation, no one had

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.200
<v Speaker 1>simply gone to the restaurant to check it out. Activist

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Jack Posobic appears to have been the first. On November sixteenth,

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, Jack made what he said was the short

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 1>drive to Comic Ping Pong and live streamed his infiltration.

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 10>So let's go take a look. Shall we Comet Pizza?

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Here we go?

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 1>He and a friend asked for a table.

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 6>Ah, Hi, don't you please.

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 1>The two were seated in the back of the restaurant,

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 1>but not long after ordering, they were approached by the manager.

0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 6>Ome on, guys, I'm gonna come back. I think we're

0:18:58.520 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 6>burning to a part time.

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>He discovered Jack was live streaming and had a problem

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 1>with the attention the activist was bringing to the pizzeria.

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.959
<v Speaker 15>I understand that I understand that to you this is

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 15>maybe like a game.

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 9>But considering that I, myself and my staff received death threats.

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 16>It's it's not a game, it's not anything.

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 11>I can't control what somebody posts on the.

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Internet with them, Jack was asked to leave.

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 11>You're well, you're throwing me out.

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 17>I am because because you're you are aiding, you're aiding

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:36.120
<v Speaker 17>a dangerous sivility.

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>With the help of law enforcement, Jack and his friend

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>were escorted out.

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.359
<v Speaker 6>Wow, so thrown out of Comet Pizza.

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 16>You guys will notice that I've not actually tweeted about

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:52.640
<v Speaker 16>Comet Pizza before that, I've not actually done anything about

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.880
<v Speaker 16>Comic Pizza. I specifically said, what was going on? Why

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.160
<v Speaker 16>are we being thrown out? And he said, well, you're

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 16>contributing to an alt right conspiracy theory.

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>But after being booted from the pizzeria, Jack started to

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 1>express new suspicions.

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 16>They've got eyes on me, They've got eyes on anybody

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 16>that's coming into Comment Pizza. So I am putting out

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 16>the call right now, guys, James O'Keefe, we need you

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 16>in here. I'm gonna need your help on this one man.

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 16>This is an operation that suddenly just got a little

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 16>bit bigger than just myself.

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.440
<v Speaker 18>We need people in here at a higher level.

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 16>We need to recruit sub sources to go in here

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 16>with hidden cameras because we saw a secret back room.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:37.479
<v Speaker 16>People were going in and out of there.

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 6>There's music, there were kids.

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 16>There were little kids going in and out of this

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 16>back and.

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 10>This is this is a bar.

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 6>This is nine o'clock at night on how.

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 11>Many days since?

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 16>When are kids allowed to be in a bar?

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It's weird in the first place, it's weird.

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 16>So there's there's kids. You can see him on my

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 16>earlier scope that that are in this bar. And I

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 16>don't know in my impressions, you know, I don't think

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 16>that kids were allowed to go in bars at all.

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 16>I don't understand what it is that they have to

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.680
<v Speaker 16>hide there. But we saw a secret room in the

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 16>very far back of this place, and we saw little

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 16>kids going in and out, three.

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:12.160
<v Speaker 6>Kids at least.

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 18>And he disappeared and they disappeared.

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 16>The threat level here is much higher, much higher than

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 16>I thought it would be. There are people here that

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.679
<v Speaker 16>have a lot of interests and a lot of money,

0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 16>So they have a big secret that they are trying

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 16>to hide because it could potentially blow the lid on

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:35.119
<v Speaker 16>Hillary Clinton, on John Podesta.

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Others followed in Jack's footsteps. Pizzagate investigators jumped from the

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>comment sections and internet forums into the real world, traveling

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:49.119
<v Speaker 1>to comment Ping Pong to investigate recording all along the way.

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 10>Came out away from Philadelphia.

0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 6>I came away from Philadelphia to be here.

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.959
<v Speaker 1>It was one thing to deal with this conspiracy theory

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>on social media or through phone calls, but it was

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 1>an entirely new level dealing with them in real life.

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.200
<v Speaker 1>The uproar got so loud that the owner of Comet

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Ping Pong, James Alafantas, approached protesters, hoping to convince them

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that nothing torrid was occurring.

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 15>We have undreds of here all the time, and I

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 15>love children, I love you, and we love our community.

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Alafantis asked them to come inside to check out for themselves,

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>but oddly they turned him down.

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to come in.

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 15>I do have hundreds of people come here every day.

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 15>I want to know what's up with that rude that

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.680
<v Speaker 15>is apparently from your place and people and people say.

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 1>They went from just asking questions to not really wanting answers. Finally,

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Alafantis convinced one to take a tour inside.

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:56.679
<v Speaker 17>I can show your routes.

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 15>This is where we turn the lives on.

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Alafontis. Took him through the entire restaurant, the front, the kitchen,

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 1>the ping pong area, the birthday party.

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 9>Room, kids party room, birthday parties come on in.

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.440
<v Speaker 1>After touring the entire space, it was nothing, no kill room,

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>no tunnels, no torture chamber. There wasn't even a basement.

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It was just a pizza joint. The Pizza Gate protester

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>filmed at all then left. The video is posted on YouTube,

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 1>but it did nothing to de escalate the attacks.

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 5>So the story starts with a guy who goes by

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 5>the name of James Alifants, who is the owner of

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 5>a pizza place very close to the White House, which

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 5>is called Comet Ping Pong. They market towards kids. You

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 5>could see photos of him here, This disgusting, rotten human

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 5>being that he is. Now, this is an operation that

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 5>they're running, which is child sex trafficking. Is what's going

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:06.880
<v Speaker 5>on here to very elite rich people around Washington, DC.

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.919
<v Speaker 5>And it's believed that these rituals take place inside of

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 5>this restaurant and they're using this for trafficking, and that

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 5>Clintons are all linked to it. We know these people

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 5>in high positions of power. Are Satanists and into pedophile

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 5>are pursues me pedophilia and child abuse. These people are cannibals.

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.439
<v Speaker 5>These people eat these victims when they kill them.

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 1>It was a fire hose of accusations with no concrete

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 1>evidence for any of these claims. There were no alleged

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 1>victims connected to Comet Ping Pong. No one offered a

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>police report of a missing child last scene at the pizzeria.

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 1>There were no pictures of dungeons or tunnels or abused kids,

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>but that didn't matter. The Pizzagate sleuths posted unhinged video

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 1>after unhinged video claiming as a fact that Comet Ping

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Pong was trafficking children and racking up hundreds of thousands

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of views along the way.

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 5>When they're not killing children for sport, they're molesting teenagers,

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 5>raping women, practicing lies in the open.

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Pizzagate went so viral the story reached the mainstream media.

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 19>Northwest DC neighborhood pizza joint is fighting back tonight after

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 19>it suspects a massive, coordinated online attack that is suggesting

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 19>the restaurant is involved in the worst kind of conspiracy.

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 20>Pizza shop owner suspects thousands of online bullies have shut

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 20>out to destroy him, maybe simply because he and a

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 20>friend supported the Clinton campaign.

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 5>Comic Ping Pong's owner says the Pizzagate conspirators have also

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 5>harassed and abused his staff.

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 21>The manager got so many threats and vulgar messages his

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 21>wife actually asked him to quit his job.

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Even the mainstream media was covering the growing conspiracy theory,

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>but surprisingly, Info Wars went noticeably quiet on the topic

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>of Pizzagate. Yes, earlier in the conspiracy Theories formation, an

0:25:55.960 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Info Wars guest connected the word pizza to pedophiles, and Yes,

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Alex Jones broadcasted claims that Hillary Clinton was a satanic

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>criminal who personally murdered, raped, and chopped up kids. But

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 1>once Pizzagate was attached to an actual physical location comet

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Ping Pong, Alex went quiet on the subject for weeks.

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 1>The Info Wars audience started to recognize this and began

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>accusing Alex Jones and the network of being in on

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the cover up. As pressure from its audience mounted, Info

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Wars began covering Pizzagate in a big way. They had

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Jack Posobic on It's like nine.

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 16>O'clock at night in a bar in DC and there's

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 16>little kids like just randomly sort of walking around, going

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 16>back and forth from this curtain.

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:45.639
<v Speaker 1>They hosted panels on the topic of Pizzagate cool and

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:49.199
<v Speaker 1>initially Alex Jones and his on air crew sounded a

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>bit defensive.

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 3>We're one of the first groups to cover it. I

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 3>just said, ah, could this be cub for drug dealing?

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Could this be cub for something else? So we covered it,

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:01.159
<v Speaker 3>and then every few days we've had reporters cover it

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 3>new reports. I've talked about it and I saw this.

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, al Jones isn't covering this. We were on

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.400
<v Speaker 3>it from the beginning. Get this through your damn head.

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm not covering any of this up. I never covered

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 3>anything up.

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 22>Now, a lot of people have been begging us to

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.639
<v Speaker 22>draw more attention to this, and for a lot of people,

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 22>Pizzagate is what has started their path down the rabbit hole.

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 10>But here's the problem. We're gonna come on here, we're

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 10>gonna talk.

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 22>About everything, We're gonna cover all of it, and it

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:23.240
<v Speaker 22>still won't satisfy people.

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 1>It quickly became clear why Alex Jones went quiet on

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Pizzagate once it went from a theory to an actual

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>physical location. Comet Ping Pong.

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 10>Look, I've been careful about all this. This is lawsuit city.

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what the hell's going on with these people.

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know real basl mat worship when I

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 3>see it. I'm not ready to excuse of these people

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 3>of this. It's up to you to research it for yourself.

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 3>But you've got to go to mfol wars dot com

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:47.439
<v Speaker 3>and actually see the photos and videos inside these places.

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 3>You've got to see their menus. You've got to see

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:52.680
<v Speaker 3>it all, ladies and gentlemen.

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.679
<v Speaker 1>But info Wars eventually through caution to the wind and

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>began directly questioning the owner of Comet Ping Pong.

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 2>The evidence begins to reveal that Best of Pizza and

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Comet Pingo Pizza maybe competing for the lucrative Washington, d c.

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Pedophile market. Right out in the open. Comet Ping Pong

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 2>owner James Aliphantis needs to explain himself. So many questions

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>remain unanswered. According to the National Center for Missing and

0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Exploited Children and the FBI, four hundred and sixty thousand,

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 2>six hundred and ninety nine children went missing in twenty

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 2>fifteen that we know of mister Aliphantis. This isn't a

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>witch hunt, and it isn't an attack from fake news

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that your boyfriend David Brock, founder of Media Matters, would

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 2>have us all ignore. Either you are the unlucky victim

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:44.200
<v Speaker 2>of a fake news onslaught due to your own poorly

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 2>initiated publicity, or a decade's old pedophile ring operating in

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 2>the power hoarding shadows of Washington, d C. Is about

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 2>to be opened from your front door. Now.

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Info Wars covering Pizzagate was no small thing. Alex Jones

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>was considered a near profit within the conspiracy world, and

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that's largely because in two thousand and one, Alex appeared

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to make an enormous prediction. As mentioned earlier in this series,

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in July two thousand and one, Alex Jones claimed America

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>was about to commit a false flag terrorist attack in

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the United States and blame it on an Islamic terrorist.

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 21>If any terrorism comes, it's from this government. And if

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 21>there was an outside threat like a bin Laden, he's

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:28.240
<v Speaker 21>the boogeyman. They need all the White House and tell

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 21>them we know the government's planning terrorism.

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 10>If you do it, we're gonna blame you.

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 21>Because we know who's up to it, or if you

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 21>let some terrorist group drough it like the World Trade Center,

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 21>we know who to blame.

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Then came September eleventh, two thousand and one, We just

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>got a report.

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 11>And that there's been some sort of explosion at the

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 11>World Trade Center in New York City.

0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Amongst the malcontents, Alex Jones became somewhat of a prophet,

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the guy that could read the tea leaves and find

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the truth in all the lies. So when info Wars

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 1>began covering Pizzagate, the conspiracy theory became real. On December one,

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, Info Wars broadcast a report entitled Pizzagate the

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Bigger Picture, and it wove together a bunch of separate

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>pedophile convictions into a larger story of a global child

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>sex trafficking ring.

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 2>An international pedophile ring has been fully operational for decades.

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Plummeting down the rabbit hole, you will eventually discover the

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Franklin cover up, the Jimmy Seville scandal, the Hampstead cover up,

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the Elm Guesthouse scandal, Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Island, and many

0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:37.959
<v Speaker 2>others that were eventually buried by a colluding media.

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>The report claimed the mainstream media was attempting to bury

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the story while nearly four hundred kids were missing in

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the Comet Pingpong area.

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 2>As the Pizzagate scandal unfolds, regardless of the mainstream media

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 2>downplaying of it.

0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 14>Fake news, by the way, is not an abstract problem.

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 14>The owner of a DC pizza restaurant called Comet Ping

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 14>Pong where I've taken my kids began receiving death threats

0:30:59.880 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 14>after Facebook, Twitter, and red and carried viciously the phony

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:06.040
<v Speaker 14>rumors that the pizza joint was the base for a

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 14>child abuse ring using underground tunnels led by Hillary Clinton

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 14>and her campaign chief John Podesta.

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 10>It is all a lie.

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 20>Comt Big Pong owner James Aliphantis says the restaurant does

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:20.880
<v Speaker 20>not even have a basement.

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 6>Just disgusting.

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Three hundred and ninety eight children remain missing in the

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Greater Washington, DC area. WikiLeaks revealed that Tony Podesta had

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 2>mentioned he was still in the torture room. Let's hope

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the walls are finally closing in on this cancer that

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 2>is fed on thousands upon thousands of children worldwide for decades.

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Below their info Wars report, they embedded many of their

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Pizzagate videos in one convenient location for anyone that wanted

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to do a deep dive on their coverage of Pizzagate,

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it was hours of content. The report was just a

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 1>fire hose of accusations with no corroboration and blurred the

0:31:56.120 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 1>line between fact and inference. Pizzagate the bigger picture looked

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 1>like an investigation, but it skipped the steps that make

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 1>an investigation real. The problem is that when unverified claims

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>are presented as established fact, they can create a false

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>sense of urgency and moral duty. That's just what the

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:19.719
<v Speaker 1>story did. Just as info Wars posted this Pizzagate report,

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the twenty eight year old man from North Carolina was

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>at home on his phone scrolling through YouTube, and he

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 1>saw a video that triggered him into an action that

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>would change his life forever.

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 4>How are you feeling about the current state of our country?

0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Longtime listeners of Red Pilled America know that since our inception,

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 4>we've been warning about the dangers of giving up the culture.

0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Republicans abandoned storytelling, art, academia, entertainment, music, literature, the institutions

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that define what it means to be American, and by

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>doing so, they allowed Marxists to pump their poisoned messages

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>into the American bloodstream.

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 4>But there is a silver lining. Red Pilled America is

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 4>the beginning of an antidote because we're pioneering the take

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 4>back of our culture. If we succeed, others will follow

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:20.479
<v Speaker 4>and will create a symphony of storytellers that restores what

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 4>it means to be American.

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 4>to Red Pilled America. So just as info Wars posted

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 4>their report Pizzagate The Bigger Picture, a twenty eight year

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 4>old man from North Carolina was at home on his

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 4>phone scrolling through YouTube. His name was Edgar Madison Welch

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Sure after plunging down the Pizzagate rabbit hole, Edgar touched

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 4>base with his girlfriend, sending her a text.

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:12.960
<v Speaker 6>I've been researching Pizzagate and it's making me sick.

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:16.959
<v Speaker 4>Over the next few hours, he kept binging, watching more

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:20.319
<v Speaker 4>and more videos on the subject. At some point he

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 4>landed on a video one posted to info wars.

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:27.760
<v Speaker 2>An international pedophile ring has been fully operational for decades.

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Edgar sent it to a friend with the text.

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:33.440
<v Speaker 6>Watch Pizzagate the Bigger Picture on YouTube.

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 4>A few minutes later, a friend texted Edgar.

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 12>Tell me, we're going to save the Indians from the pipeline.

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 6>Edgar responded, way more important, much higher stakes Pizzagate.

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:47.719
<v Speaker 4>By the next day, Pizzagate wasn't just something he'd been

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 4>watching online. It became something he wanted to destroy in

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:55.240
<v Speaker 4>the real world. Edgar reached out to his friend again,

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 4>explaining his mission.

0:34:57.120 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 6>Raiding a pedo ring, standing up against a corrupt system,

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:02.760
<v Speaker 6>defending the next generation.

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 4>He tried to draw others in, but he got no takers,

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 4>so he decided to go it alone. Two days later,

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 4>on December fourth, twenty sixteen, at around nine am, Edgar

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:20.360
<v Speaker 4>loaded his car and left North Carolina, driving northeast towards Washington,

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:23.480
<v Speaker 4>d C. On the way, he recorded a message for

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:24.600
<v Speaker 4>his daughters.

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 6>To my girls, I love y'all more than anything in

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 6>the world.

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 4>Just before three pm, Edgar pulled up to a pizzeria

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 4>in the nation's capital, Comet, Ping Pong. Families were inside,

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 4>kids and employees going about their day. Edgar stepped out

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 4>of his car, carrying a rifle and a thirty eight

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 4>caliber revolver. He walked towards the pizzeria, opened the door,

0:35:56.600 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 4>and stepped in. People immediately saw the rifle and they scattered.

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Chairs toppled over. People screamed. A bottleneck formed at the exit.

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Some made it out, others froze in place. Edgar moved

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:14.759
<v Speaker 4>towards the back of the restaurant, searching for hidden rooms, tunnels,

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 4>and kidnapped children. He found a locked door. This must

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 4>be the torture chamber, he thought. He tried to force

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 4>his way in, but when it wouldn't budge, he pointed

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:30.400
<v Speaker 4>his firearm at the lock and fired. He swung the

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:34.400
<v Speaker 4>door open, but inside there was nothing. No staircase to

0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 4>the basement, no torture chamber, no enslaved children, and no

0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 4>evidence of wrongdoing. It was simply a closet. Realizing there

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:45.880
<v Speaker 4>were no children to save, Edgar walked out of the

0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:50.040
<v Speaker 4>front door of the pizzeria. Then, as law enforcement approached,

0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:56.160
<v Speaker 4>he put his hands in the air and surrendered. When

0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 4>the police interrogated him, Edgar said he had been reading

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:02.680
<v Speaker 4>reports online about a child sex trafficking ring operating out

0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 4>a common at Ping Pong. He said he decided to

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 4>investigate them himself, but in the end, the only conspiracy

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:11.800
<v Speaker 4>he found at the pizzeria was the one he carried

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 4>with him inside his head. Just like Richard McCaslin had

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 4>been duped over the Bohemian Grove conspiracy theory, Edgar Welch

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 4>had been duped by Pizzagate.

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.760
<v Speaker 18>Twenty eight year old Edgar Welch was arrested in Washington

0:37:24.840 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 18>Sunday afternoon outside Comet Ping Pong, a popular family pizza parlor.

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:32.719
<v Speaker 18>DC police say Welch fired at least one round into

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.879
<v Speaker 18>the restaurant floor with an AR fifteen rifle. No one

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 18>was injured. Police say Welch drove all the way from

0:37:38.640 --> 0:37:44.320
<v Speaker 18>North Carolina to self investigate Pizzagate, a fictitious online conspiracy theory.

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:48.120
<v Speaker 18>Court documents say Welch read online that the Comet restaurant

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 18>was harboring child sex slaves and he was armed to

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 18>help rescue them. He surrendered peacefully when he found no

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 18>evidence that underage children were being harbored in the restaurant.

0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 17>What happened today demonstrates that promoting false and rec conspiracy

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:10.720
<v Speaker 17>theories do come with consequences.

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:15.160
<v Speaker 4>The day after the shooting, Alex Jones went on air

0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 4>and attempted to rewrite history.

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 3>People start of saying, Alex, why aren't you covering this

0:38:21.200 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty four to seven? Why aren't you saying that everybody

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 3>listed and this must.

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 10>Be a pedophile.

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I've been staying away from it because it's easy for

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 3>people that are innocent to get caught up in this.

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I think there's something going on there, clearly. But the

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:36.879
<v Speaker 3>issue is you can't then just have people go through

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.920
<v Speaker 3>these things randomly and say, oh, this pizza place must

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 3>be the center of it all, just because in some

0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:43.960
<v Speaker 3>pedophilia codewords they used pizza.

0:38:44.160 --> 0:38:45.760
<v Speaker 10>That's a super common word.

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:48.839
<v Speaker 4>Alex Jones, who initially said he'd been covering it from

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:53.720
<v Speaker 4>the beginning, now claimed Pizzagate was a distraction. Three months later,

0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:57.279
<v Speaker 4>after legal pressure from comment Ping Pung owner James Eliphontis,

0:38:57.600 --> 0:38:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Alex had to admit he was wrong.

0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 3>In our commentary about what had become known as Pizzagate.

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:07.319
<v Speaker 3>I made comments about mister Alifhanis that in hindsight I

0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 3>regret and for which I apologize to him.

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Some of the earliest coverage of what would become Pizzagate

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 4>came from info Wars. The theory that pizza was a

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:19.319
<v Speaker 4>sexual code word was postulated on the Alex Jones Show.

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:22.720
<v Speaker 4>So when a deranged Info War's viewer pulled the trigger

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 4>of his rifle in the pizzeria, it wasn't just the

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:28.320
<v Speaker 4>patrons that dodged a bullet. Alex Jones did as well.

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:31.560
<v Speaker 4>How did they do it? How did info Wars influence

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:35.840
<v Speaker 4>another troubled soul into taking violent action? Well, for years,

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:39.319
<v Speaker 4>the outlet had been carefully crafting an origin story for

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 4>its founder, one that claimed he was the only truth

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 4>teller that predicted one of the most tragic events in

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 4>American history. And they crafted this persona by using the

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:51.320
<v Speaker 4>technique known as gish gallup.

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Coming up on Red Pilled America.

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:55.640
<v Speaker 21>Alex Jones is not a crazy person.

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 18>Fundamentally, Alex Jones is right about a lot of things,

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 18>and in fact, that's why they don't like him.

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Pilled America's an iHeartRadio original podcast. It's owned and produced

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:10.240
