Wrong. He's gonna

1:46
Oh, he's gonna have all these nope. He's
1:48
gonna do the toy zone version of everything.
1:50
Well, at the at the risk of sounding
1:52
like the lead singer of Dishwalla telling me
1:54

1:56
nice guy. I was not like who beat
1:58
her. well No.
2:00
It was fun. They're great. Is is
2:03
there was a psyche and Satan and
2:05
who the literal Christian devil was there. It's
2:07
great. It's good time. Check it out wherever
2:09
podcasts are sold. It's the It's
2:11
happy meals, I believe. Yeah. That's the
2:13
title of it. Happy meals. No. No.
2:15
It's called the God pod. The God pod. Yeah.
2:17
Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Well, that's that is a
2:19
lot of fun. Yeah. It was great. I'm glad
2:22
you had a good time. It was fantastic. I
2:24
will be damned because I didn't go on it. Yes.
2:26
That is true. That is true. I
2:28
would say that my my bright spot
2:31
today, Jordan, is Lee
2:33
over in the UK. Just got
2:35
a little zap package -- Uh-huh. --
2:37
some candy. Yeah. Well, else.
2:40
Very -- Very much appreciated. -- some
2:42
candy. Yeah. It got some British sweets and
2:44
a giant thing of hobnobs, which
2:47
famously on the streets. My favorite
2:49
-- Oh, boy. -- shape. They are. Their
2:51
boats. I I will say
2:53
that I don't know if I can forgive
2:55
them for this twelve month matured
2:57
Christmas put. Yeah. What happened when I opened
2:59
with that good? Month matured. You wanna walk
3:02
the listeners through an So he opened
3:04
the package and he said, it is candy dumbass.
3:07
Well, because it's labeled fragile. It's labeled
3:09
fragile. So I said it was I said it's gonna be
3:11
fragile candy. And you said it's impossible.
3:13
There's no way that the candy went. So obviously it
3:15
was candy. Right. And then you just handed me
3:17
a twelve month Christmas pudding said,
3:19
this one's for you and your wife. Yeah. And
3:21
the brand and mid midspots.
3:23
I was gonna bring those up. I will look.
3:25
I I will take one for the team and have
3:27
all the candies. Sure. You could add the Christmas
3:30
holiday. I'll I'll eat the twelve
3:32
months mature. Oh,
3:34
boy. Yep. Let's try it out. So
3:36
Jordan, today, we are time traveling.
3:38
Oh. I felt the urge
3:40
to go back to the past. Yes. I
3:43
you know, just every now and again, you need
3:45
a re up. You need to go
3:47
back and get a taste of what things used
3:49
to be like. And like I mentioned
3:51
on our last episode, we I
3:53
got of the August time
3:55
frame. And so I decided to jump to
3:57
December, and that was a very strategic
3:59
decision
3:59
on my part because
4:01
December two thousand
4:04
three is when Saddam Hussein ends
4:06
up being found. That's right. And
4:08
so I would love to see the lead
4:10
up to that and how Alex responds
4:12
-- Right. -- when Saddam has found, because
4:14
as we know, Alex believes that he's in Belarus
4:16
-- Yeah. -- with his kids -- Yes. -- and a
4:18
bunch of gold. His two very alive sons
4:20
-- Yes. -- that he believes are there.
4:22
So we will get to that
4:24
when it gets to that. But for now, we are
4:26
just check backing in on December first
4:29
and seeing seeing what the path leads
4:31
us to. Excellent. And today, we're gonna be going
4:33
over December first and second two
4:35
thousand three. And I'm
4:37
gonna just give a little
4:39
bit of I don't know. It's
4:41
not a warning, but I'm gonna this is gonna be a little
4:43
bit of a shorter episode. But
4:45
the reality is something that we
4:47
talk about, I think, is actually very important.
4:50
Okay. And so I don't know. We
4:52
might hit an hour we might not.
4:55
But I do think that this is
4:57
something that something that happens is
4:59
definitely like I can't believe
5:02
this. Listen. It's about quality
5:04
of minute. Now now we we've
5:06
been doing four hour episodes. We've
5:08
been doing all that stuff. We've got
5:10
that under our belts. Now, it's about
5:12
minute quality. Right. No. And what I've Why are
5:14
you on a blessed episode? I talked about
5:16
passing out under the talk. Exactly.
5:18
It's about quality minutes,
5:21
condensing of doubt. We're getting from
5:23
efficiency. That's our goal. don't know if you want me
5:25
to put your business on the streets, but I know
5:27
that you've been getting back into stand up.
5:29
I have. Yes. I didn't know if you how
5:31
closely you regarding that, but
5:33
I know that laughs per minute is a
5:35
very important use. That's a that
5:37
is a stat that I know
5:39
that you're tracking right now. I've always
5:41
been a huge last per minute
5:43
guy. Yeah. You know, because I have those jokes
5:45
that last two or three minutes with only one
5:47
huge punchline. So my laugh's per
5:49
minute, Wailo. Yeah. Wailo. Under
5:52
one. Under one is not a good
5:54
laugh's per minute. I been told that many a
5:56
time. I never really I never
5:58
tracked that, and I never really understood, like,
6:00
how do you gauge Like,
6:02
what is and it's not a successful laugh.
6:04
Yeah. Like, what if you get a couple people
6:06
laughing in the audience but really hard.
6:08
Right. Right. Right. Or just
6:10
a good size laugh from everybody. do they count?
6:12
Do they each count as one? I mean,
6:14
who's got the the audio the decibel
6:17
meter? I I don't know. I I think it
6:19
all every part of became
6:21
incredibly stupid to me after I listened
6:23
to Dana Gould's black dolly a bit.
6:25
Mhmm. That five minute
6:27
long bit with one punch line
6:29
is so spectacular. He's got you
6:31
hanging on every word, and then
6:33
the final punch breaks everything
6:36
open the whole place explodes. It's perfect.
6:38
Or the John Glaser and John
6:40
Benjamin forget a buddy. Oh, is it?
6:43
which in theory has one
6:45
joke within twenty so did
6:47
it. There was a by
6:49
judge men was
6:53
the David Cross bit that they did, the
6:55
abortion doctor? No. The comedians
6:57
of comedy tour they did or
6:59
not one they did a one off where I don't
7:01
remember what that bit was. They were they
7:03
both recorded this long
7:05
thing where they started leaving
7:07
the stage and then talking to a recording
7:09
of the other ostensibly because they were at the
7:11
train station. Yeah. Yeah. So what are you doing
7:13
back at the train station? Just
7:16
forever. The two of them had a bit only
7:18
invite them up CD. Yeah. That
7:20
was David Cross was a doctor who
7:22
would put babies back inside and
7:24
then killed him. and
7:27
Doug Benjamin was interviewed and horrified
7:29
by the procedure. That's great.
7:31
That's so good. Anyway,
7:34
we have an episode to do, but
7:36
before that. Let's take a little moment,
7:38
Jordan, say hello. Just some new walks. Oh, that's great
7:40
idea. So first, or happy early

8:10

8:12
was actually inspired by today.
8:15
Ironically, they'd sent this in
8:17
prior, but it is actually in response
8:19
to today's episode. Oh my god. What
8:21
do we want? Time travel? When do we want it?
8:23
That's irrelevant. Thank you so much. You're now a

8:35
technocrats in the mix here too, Jordan. So first, gay
8:37
fraud Wrangler who worships at the altar
8:39

8:41
a technocrat. And George
8:43

8:46
warming. Thank you so much. You are now
8:48
a technocrat. I'm a policy wonk.
8:50
I have risen above
8:52
my enemies. I I might quit
8:54
tomorrow, actually. It's gonna take a little breaky
8:56
now. A little
8:59
breaky for me. and
9:01
then we're going to come
9:03
back, and I'm
9:04
gonna start to show over. But
9:06
I'm a devil gotta be dang it on here. I've been
9:08
all there's a little bit. Fuck
9:11

9:13
got plenty of words for you, but at the end of
9:15
the day, fuck you in your new world
9:17
order and fuck the horse she
9:19
rode in on, and all your
9:21
shit. Maybe today
9:21
she'd be on this broadcast. Maybe
9:23
I'll just be gone a month, maybe five years.
9:27
Maybe I'll walk out of here tomorrow and you
9:29
never see me again. That's
9:31
really what I wanna do. I
9:33
never wanna come back here again. apologize
9:35
to the crew and the listeners yesterday
9:37
that I was legitimately having
9:40
breakdowns on air. I'll
9:42
be
9:42
better tomorrow. He's not Not
9:44
even in the past. You know, not even in December two thousand
9:46
three still not good, but
9:48
not not good. Unfortunate. So before we
9:50
get to today's episode, I
9:52
wanted to touch on something from
9:54
our last episode. And that
9:56
is we talked about Alex's coverage
9:58
of the medical assistance and dying
10:00
legislation in Canada. Yeah. And I
10:02
wanted to loop back and touch back on
10:04
that here a little bit before we we
10:06
launch into two thousand three. I don't
10:08
believe that we said anything that I disagree
10:10
with necessarily in hindsight, but I did get
10:12
some messages from listeners that have been really
10:14
helpful in terms of illustrating ways that we could
10:16
have discussed that issue better and from
10:18
a broader perspective. One of
10:20
the points we could have done a better job of stressing
10:22
is that there is an inadequate
10:24
social safety net in terms of support for people
10:26
living with disabilities in Canada.
10:28
And this is A VERY SEVERE ISSUE WHEN IT COMES
10:30
TO THE POINT WHERE POVERTY ENDS UP BEING A
10:32
CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TORT SOMEONE WANTING TO
10:34
PURSUE MADE. THE CASE OF a
10:36
mere pursuit who he discussed on the
10:38
last episode involved that dynamic where his
10:40
disability payments weren't enough to keep him out of
10:42
poverty and weren't enough to allow him to find
10:44
a place to live which would
10:46
leave him living with severe pain on
10:48
house. We did talk about how his case
10:50
illustrates the need for greater social
10:52
welfare, but I wasn't really aware of the
10:54
endemic problem that advocates around
10:56
disability related issues have been raising around
10:58
the intersection of poverty and and
11:00
how this makes the expansion of Made to
11:03
include people whose deaths aren't reasonably
11:05
imminent could contribute towards a program
11:07
that's dangerously close to Eugenics.
11:09
This is really important stuff, and
11:11
I'd like to learn more about it and possibly talk
11:13
to someone who knows more in the future.
11:17
coverage of Alex's content on the subject
11:19
has a tendency to sometimes not
11:21
see all of the broader context and
11:23
implications of a story. because I'm looking at what
11:25
he's saying and then evaluating that.
11:27
So my apologies for not stressing some
11:29
of the more important aspect of what rational
11:31
people's complaints about made actually
11:34
are. There's a real
11:36
critique and an Alex critique. Yeah. And
11:38
I'm focusing on the Alex critique, and
11:40
sometimes that means I
11:42
don't see some of the more
11:44
reasonable criticisms.
11:46
Yeah. It's hard to it's hard
11:48
to completely view an
11:50
issue in a rational perspective when
11:52
somebody is also screaming like, no, you
11:54
shouldn't do that. You should teach me, but I'll be
11:56
a suicide and you're like, no, I I don't even
11:58
understand how I'm supposed to Yeah. And some
12:00
of that's the challenge. And some of
12:02
that is just, you know, you you miss something
12:04
sometimes. IT HAPPENED. THAT BEING SAID, I DO
12:06
THINK THAT SOME OF OUR CONVERSATION
12:08
WAS AROUNDING THE
12:11
QUESTION OF HOW SOCIAL SAFETY
12:14
and welfare programs would
12:17
be a solution to some of the
12:19
confounding factors that
12:21
that were being discussed in these cases, though I
12:23
think we could have done a better job of
12:25
highlighting and and focusing in
12:27
on what some of those problems were.
12:29
Right. Now the second problem, which I actually
12:31
think is a bit bigger, is that there have IN
12:33
SOME REPORTED CASES OF PEOPLE WITH
12:35
DISABILITY IS BEING OFFERED MADE AS
12:37
APPOSED TO THEM PURSUING IT.
12:40
FURTHER CANADIAN LAW HAVE NOT BUILD
12:42
IN OVERSIGHT AND REGULATIONS
12:44
THAT MANY FEEL WOULD BE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT
12:46
THAT KIND OF CARE IS BEING APPLIED
12:48
RESPONSIBLY and that's a really big
12:50
concern. I do think that advocates
12:52
and human rights experts have a valid
12:54
point when they say that this legislation does have
12:56
the potential to have a dehumanizing effect
12:58
on people with this abilities and
13:00
in essence create a perception whether in the
13:02
mind of the public or in the medical
13:04
profession that their lives are somehow less
13:06
worth living, and that is definitely
13:08
unacceptable. I'm not sure
13:10
what the answer is, but I'm gonna read more up
13:12
on this and try to listen to folks with better
13:14
perspectives, but I am confident in my
13:16
opposition to Alex's coverage of the
13:18
story. The takeaway that I have is that
13:20
there are more reasons to take this
13:22
seriously and that Alex Alex's
13:24
coverage paints a cartoonish version of the
13:26
problem and exists in direct
13:28
opposition to the most logical
13:30
elementary solution. to helping
13:32
some parts of this, which is a greater
13:34
social investment in lifting people out of poverty.
13:37
Yeah. And so for anybody
13:39
who took issue with some of our commentary. I
13:41
do I I apologize that there was
13:43
a slice of this and a section of it
13:45
that that was missing. Fair.
13:47
and I hope we do
13:49
better job of being mindful of a lot of
13:51
that stuff, you know, in future
13:53
instances. Oh, we, you know, we do our best.
13:55
And then if we don't, do the best. We
13:57
listen when people tell us we didn't. We try
13:59
to. It's kinda simple. So,
14:02
Jordan, today, December
14:04
first is where we're starting. Mhmm. This
14:06
episode sucks. Okay. There's nothing
14:08
going on. On December first, but
14:11
it's the first day of December.
14:13
In two thousand three,
14:15
there was so much going on.
14:17
There was Oh.
14:19
So the first hour of
14:22
the show is mostly just Alex
14:24
being mad that Bush went to
14:26
Iraq to out turkeys for
14:28
Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah. I
14:30
remember that one. And there's just a lot of
14:32
that. That's the vibe you get.
14:34
There's just a lot of trading
14:37
water and complaining about turkey
14:39
gate. Yeah. We we think about all
14:41
the absurd things and insane
14:43
things that Trump did because they were also
14:45
verify. keep paper towels. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, all
14:47
of that stuff because it was also evil
14:49
in a in a weird way. you
14:52
know, throwing out paper towels was condescending
14:54
and fucked up and and almost
14:56
infantilizing. Mhmm. But bush
14:58
going to the a place that he
15:00
genocided in giving out turkeys for a
15:02
genocide debt holiday. That's
15:05
that's metaphorically more fucked up than I
15:07
can think of. Yeah. an onion of
15:09
irony. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So
15:11
we have a couple clips from
15:13
December first. There's not much
15:15
to discuss here, but it's good
15:17
to check-in every now and again to see how
15:19
Alex feels about various
15:21
right wing figures. Sure.
15:23
He still hates Michael Savage,
15:25
spoiler alert. he's hippy. And
15:27
and Alex also has, you know, I I he
15:29
he hear him complain a lot about people
15:31
calling him and his friends not sees
15:33
and stuff. He's like, it's not cool. You shouldn't do
15:35
that. Right. Well, I mean, when it comes to
15:37
Michael Savage yeah.
15:38
Michael Savage shares
15:40
he's a fake Niyokan, I
15:43
have
15:43
heard him. I probably listened fifteen times, and
15:45
I've heard him ten times say so he
15:47
must say it every hour on the hour.
15:49
every person that
15:52
disagrees with the government should be
15:55
arrested in putting a forced labor camp
15:57
to quote, FOR THEIR KEEP. HE SAYS THAT
15:59
ANYONE THAT DISAGREE SHOULD BE ARRESTED
16:01
AND THAT'S HIS CONSERVATISM WHILE
16:03
HE PROTECTS GEORGE BUSH
16:05
AND HIS
16:06
aimless Nazi
16:08
audience, I guess
16:10
must think
16:11
that going under martial law
16:13
is good. So, yeah, his audience is Nazis
16:16
and Michael Savage on the
16:18
hour every hour. So everybody who
16:20
disagrees is to go to a forced labor camp.
16:22
There is there is the the the
16:25
station check, you gotta do. Sure.
16:27
Time and time, for
16:29
sure. Traffic and traffic Everything's
16:31
Yep. Yeah. Yeah. then, of you gotta remind
16:33
people that if you speak out against the government, you
16:35
should put in a forced labor case. Yeah. That's
16:37
just regular morning zoo crew. Michael,
16:39
savage sucks, but even this is a
16:41
little bit unfair to to the
16:43
depicted of him. Alright,
16:45
man. So it's it's just funny
16:47
though because later on, Alex will be like
16:49
Michael's average was a pioneer one of
16:51
the first in this space and a
16:53
hero and a legend. Hell, he was the one who
16:55
organized that the mine was not crowd. That's what he got
16:57
him. Well, and Alex,
16:59
the, you know,
17:01
Michael Savage started accepting his calls.
17:03
Yeah. And so it's it's a big
17:05
a legend. It's a big difference how quick that
17:07
goes. Yes. I got a text.
17:09
He's a legend. Yeah. So Alex takes
17:11
a number of calls on this show. And
17:14
one of them is a very sad man who's
17:16
handed out thousands of Alex's
17:18
tapes. And I'm just trying to get
17:20
tapes
17:20
to the public affairs issues, and
17:22
I'm asking everybody, please help me
17:24
in some way. I'm I'm so tired, mister
17:27
Jones. But we need more people to put out
17:29
more tapes or to
17:31
give them institution. Charles? How
17:33
many copies of my video have you handed
17:35
out? Oh, wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
17:38
Right? Okay. all together
17:41
four
17:41
thousand two
17:41
hundred and twelve. Well,
17:44
that's
17:44
just nineteen ninety nine. You know, I've been
17:47
wonderful time. What effect?
17:49
What effect is giving out four
17:51
thousand copies of my videos done in your
17:53
area? Well, my life. moving
17:55
the new parish, but the last parish I was in, I I got
17:57
the whole police department to change
17:59
the attitude to other things and
18:01
be a little bit
18:02
more lenient and and talk
18:04
to me about it instead of condemning me. I
18:07
made
18:07
friends with a a whole police force and
18:09
go into the police building and
18:11
everybody's shakes my hand and they they
18:13
agree with the tapes. Someone would just their
18:15
mouth just dropped open. They asked me to make a
18:17
tape for their mother when they get big
18:19
me, executions, anything, gave me money to buy
18:22
copies? Well,
18:23
police, we found the videos
18:25
are working up police and military even
18:27
more than the general public. Because they're investigators,
18:30
they already know about the criminal mind,
18:32
they already know the information is accurate.
18:34
We just lay it all out
18:37
out. On the
18:37
table forum. Thanks for the call, Charles. So
18:40
I suspect that cops are more affected by
18:42
Alex's earlier documentaries because
18:44
those films are kind of veiled threats against the
18:46
police. They're essentially arguing
18:48
that the police are the strong arm of the
18:50
globalist and will be used to enslave the
18:52
population and thus will be
18:54
the Patriot enemy, and unless they're
18:56
explicitly on the side of the
18:58
Patriots. The message is
19:00
essentially when things go bad, we will kill
19:02
you unless you're on our side.
19:04
Right? It's the same messaging in a ton of militia
19:06
materials. For instance, the book unintended
19:09
consequences involves a plot to assassinate
19:11
law enforcement carried out by patriots who've
19:13
had enough of gun grabbing. This
19:15
isn't necessarily what you'd call a direct
19:17
threat, but it also definitely
19:19
has an undertone in these materials
19:22
that It might seem to help explain why they
19:24
resonate so strongly with people in law
19:26
enforcement. They're more or less telling
19:28
any viewer in law enforcement that there's
19:30
a war coming that the patriots
19:32
will win and they need to decide if they wanna be
19:34
one of the good guys or if they wanna die as
19:36
a villain. And they you it's
19:38
a very emotional appeal that's made in
19:40
those documentaries too. And you could see
19:43
if your cop
19:45
you might identify with the people being labeled a villain and be like,
19:47
I don't wanna be a villain. Sure.
19:49
I don't know. I mean, if if it
19:51
was if I had a time machine,
19:55
right, right now, I would go back and tell
19:57
everybody to be like, do you hear
19:59
this? The cops like Alex Jones, do you
20:01
not understand what's going to happen soon?
20:03
The cops like Alex
20:05
jones. Yeah. But the problem with that is you listen
20:07
to this, and Alex is a liar.
20:09
So it's really easy
20:12
to, like, hear this and think like, actually, just blowing
20:14
smoke about cops loving his stuff.
20:16
But maybe there was more truth to that than
20:18
necessarily we're comfortable with.
20:20
Yeah. Yeah. And that's that's
20:22
you know, those documentaries that that way that
20:24
he would I don't
20:27
know what it would be like to be
20:29
a cop. then getting this stuff. because this
20:31
is because he was sending those to
20:33
cops. The the guy was starting to send those
20:35
to the cops. around
20:37
nineteen ninety nine. So this is a
20:39
decade after Pre nine eleven.
20:41
Yeah. Pre nine eleven, but
20:43
after OKC. Yeah. So
20:45
we're in that other uncertainty
20:47
zone of who the bad terrorists
20:49
are. Mhmm. So the cops have gotta be
20:51
in this weird no man's land where they're like,
20:53
oh, we wanna but they don't know who. Mhmm.
20:56
So I assume this is how it goes
20:58
bad. I it may be a
21:00
contributing factor. It could be. It could be. So
21:02
we get one more call that we're gonna listen to
21:04
here from December first. Mhmm. And this is so
21:06
when we talked about Alex's
21:09
war, and we talked about Glenn Greenwald's
21:11
interview, I said on
21:13
the episode, that Alex is a fucking His
21:15
dad was in the John Birch Society.
21:17
And, like, he you know, because in the
21:19
film, he tries to present himself as just like, oh, I
21:21
had some of these influence is
21:23
around or whatever. It's like, no. You you're in a
21:25
birch fucking household. Yeah. And I
21:28
got some pushback on Twitter
21:30
even from some
21:32
folks who have who aren't random
21:34
people. Interesting. Let's say. Uh-oh.
21:36
And so I just wanna play this just to
21:38
reiterate that Alex's dad was in the job
21:41
search. Okay. Let's talk
21:42
to Brian in Illinois. Brian, you're
21:44
on the air. How you doing, Alex?
21:47
Good. I wanted
21:48
to ask you about what your
21:50
thoughts are on the John Burch
21:53
Society. I know you said your dad was
21:55
a member. Well, I
21:56
get questions on this. Probably
21:58
once a month on air every day via email.
22:00
I think the John Burch Society puts out great
22:03
books and tapes, a great magazine.
22:06
I think they put out really good information, and I
22:08
don't think they're quite aggressive enough, but
22:10
they've done more good than I've done. I think
22:12
they have a great membership. My father
22:15
isn't a member now. He was a member in high
22:17
school and went around
22:19
giving anti communist speeches,
22:21
but he's not really politics
22:24
now. Great.
22:25
Great. Great. So another
22:28
thing that's of note in there is
22:30
that Alex thinks that
22:32
John Burch Society isn't aggressive. Too
22:34
weak. Too weak. They don't they don't say
22:36
it. They don't go hard. Right. That's
22:39
the problem. This to me is so
22:41
in line with that illusion
22:44
that people had about Alex
22:46
not being a right wing because he criticizes
22:48
not He criticizes Bush because he's too
22:51
he's a communist. Yeah. He thinks sixty six Bush
22:53
is a comic. He he he criticized
22:55
that John Burch's society -- Uh-huh. -- for
22:57
not being aggressive enough. Yes.
23:00
Yeah. That's their issue. And you know, I'm putting
23:02
together this library and I've been reading some of these
23:04
materials. Oh, they're aggressive. They're
23:06
they're insanely aggressively. T. Agro.
23:09
Jesus. Yeah. So anyway, let's put that
23:11
baby to bed. Mhmm. And
23:13
go to December second. This
23:17
episode starts. Yeah. And Alex
23:19
announces a guest. Sometimes I think you go
23:21
into the just because somebody said that something happened on the
23:23
past and you're like, oh, it fucking
23:25
did. Yeah. No. No. No. No. No. No. Fuck
23:27
yourself. I'll find it. I am
23:29
there. Right. I am in both the pastor, the
23:31
president. So Alex has a
23:33
guest that he announces on the second, and this
23:35
name will not necessarily ring out
23:38
to you. But this is a fucking huge problem.
23:41
Okay. Alright, folks. It's
23:43
Tuesday, the second of December two
23:45
thousand and three. I'm Alex Jones,
23:47
your We have a special guest for you in
23:49
the second hour documentary
23:52
filmmaker and author
23:54
Eric Huffman who has done
23:55
just an unbelievable job
23:58
exposing the mathematical and
23:59
possibilities of the frauds surrounding
24:03
September eleventh. So Eric
24:05
Hochmod wrote a book titled
24:07
Painful QUESTIONS, an analysis of the
24:09
September eleventh attack, which hasn't held
24:11
up well as time has gone on.
24:13
as is a theme with nine eleven conspiracy stuff, particularly from
24:15
this early stage. Yeah.
24:18
However, this is not what I find interesting
24:20
or troubling about Eric Hufshmid.
24:22
Mhmm. I find his aggressive antisemitism
24:24
far more important. Oh, so a
24:26
problem for his his problem is
24:29
not Agro. He's not too he's pretty agro. He's
24:31
pretty agro. Okay. Huf Schmid has a YouTube channel
24:33
where he's posted some clips of
24:35
his public access TV interviews
24:38
and also a clip from the movie a
24:40
bug's life, which he claims is
24:42
allegorical. The Jews or in his
24:44
term the Zionist are the Grasshoppers and
24:46
the non Jews are ants. Sure. His
24:48
description of the video reads, quote,
24:50
from the movie A Bug's Life, the leader of
24:52
the Grasshoppers, parenthesis Zionists,
24:54
explained what would happen if stupid
24:56
ants, parenthesis, Goyam, were to realize that
24:58
they don't have to be under the control of
25:00
the grasshoppers. For
25:03
some reason, around two thousand nine, his shifted over to
25:05
some recipes and cooking content and
25:07
then to videos of bugs. I was
25:09
sort of curious about this, but it seems
25:11
like it's not a mystery worth thing.
25:13
So it alone. He's a
25:15
big time Zionist occupied government
25:18
type of conspiracies. And that's his
25:20
underlying theory about nine
25:22
eleven. Right. I found a page
25:24
under the name Eric Huxmott on the
25:26
site Clifford, which
25:28
seemed to again, he had some
25:30
pretty offensive content on it, but I
25:32
wasn't sure use it for this
25:34
episode on the off chance that it wasn't
25:36
this guy's page. Sure. However,
25:38
I was able to satisfy my own doubts by
25:40
doing a little bit of cross referencing. For
25:42
instance, to the audio clips he's posted
25:44
on that page are about Carly
25:46
Frans, a woman who has made allegations
25:48
about being ritualistically by the basins.
25:51
Incidentally, on his own website,
25:53
huge questions dot com,
25:55
Eric routinely talked about France
25:57
and her allegations. Mhmm. Because I was
25:59
able to find overlaps like this, I'm
26:02
pretty confident that this is his audio page
26:04
actually in for sure
26:06
it is. So that means I'm gonna play this antisemitic
26:08
trash for you. Oh, no. Mike down for
26:10
this because this is gonna blow your
26:12
mind. Oh, no. If
26:15
the
26:15
Jews had been nicely behaved
26:17
people, we would
26:18
love them. It's their own fault
26:20
and we're disgusted with them.
26:47
This
26:55
song
26:55
is over five minutes long, but I think
26:57
you get the idea there. I that
27:00
sounds like it's from the fucking
27:02
firefly unit. Like, you you would you would
27:04
go into space bar, and
27:06
they they would be playing this propaganda
27:08
theme song while you were,
27:10
like, fucking, this is crazy. Yay.
27:12
With Within on or
27:14
a minute. He's throwing
27:17
in some blood libel. Saying that
27:19
if Jews were better behaved, everyone wouldn't
27:21
hate them. Man, it's just awful.
27:23
That is so fucked up. Mhmm.
27:26
I feel like there is there
27:28
is a a man.
27:30
Who made did
27:32
he did he do that himself? I suspect
27:34
did, because that's a voice that's talking at the beginning
27:36
is him. Yeah. That's him. And it
27:39
continues throughout the song. Because of that, I
27:41
wanted to just include a few more
27:43
things that he says in this song. that I
27:45
think border on calling for
27:47
genocide. And here's
27:49
here's the next clip.
27:50
The Jews are getting away with a lot of
27:52
eyes partly because most people can't believe that
27:54
a creature someone would perceive in such
27:56
a manner. Maybe they're not the
27:59
same type of movement
27:59
as the rest of us. The Jews claim to
28:02
be a different
28:03
race, and they may be correct.
28:05
So here we have
28:05
a suggestion that Jewish people aren't human,
28:08
that's not good, but
28:11
Jordan, it
28:11
gets worse. The pattern I see
28:14
all throughout history is that every
28:16
society treated Jews with
28:18
decency and respect. But after a
28:20
while, that society got tired of the
28:22
abuse, lies, crime,
28:24
murders, and other horrible being hurt. Then that
28:27
society threw them out, and
28:29
the society that accepts them,
28:31
created them with decency, and
28:33
that's a while, they also got tired of these Jews.
28:35
And look at the behavior of Jews doing
28:37
the twentieth inch, it's the same
28:40
pattern. For example, both
28:42
the Germans treated the Jews with
28:44
decency and respect, but the
28:46
Jews decided to abuse the
28:48
Germans. Alright. So
28:51
go ahead and
28:53
check off that
28:53
box that's marked claiming the Holocaust
28:56
was the Jews fault. Yep. Yep.
28:58
covering a lot of bases here -- Hushman. --
29:00
III you know, I saw
29:02
the movie clockwork orange way too
29:04
young. Mhmm. I was, like, eight
29:06
when I saw it because it was an accidental thing
29:10
that was on TV late at night for
29:12
some reason. And,
29:14
you know, that scene where he's got
29:16
the Bates Holvin playing where he's got the
29:18
horrific images and he's got the eyes. Yeah. Yeah.
29:20
You know, I've always been like, oh, that's horrific. I can't
29:23
imagine what that would feel like. kind of like with this
29:25
podcast. This is exactly that.
29:27
What you just played for me I
29:29
finally am like, oh, I got clockwork orange. Yeah. It
29:31
it legitimately This laptop is
29:33
too far away for you to hit pause
29:35
on it. Absolutely. I
29:38
my cords would rip out. We'd have to start
29:40
all over. I mean, this is just
29:43
bad. This is horrendous.
29:45
Yeah. And so we have get to the
29:47
crescendo though. So here is the here's the last
29:49
clip of his song. Let's
29:51
imagine what the twentieth century
29:53
might have been line, and the Jews have instigated all
29:55
of these wars and terrorist attacks.
29:58
Let's imagine the world without
30:00
these disgusting stuff. So
30:03
Hovshimid is actually suggesting that a world without
30:05
Jews would be a better world. And essentially,
30:07
he's making an argument in favor
30:10
of determination. This is one of the most blunt
30:12
pieces of content I've seen one of
30:14
Alex's guests produce, and the fact that
30:16
it's delivered with a shitty techno
30:18
song just makes things a
30:20
little bit less stowage.
30:24
DJ Van Arkeen. Oh my
30:26
god. No. No. No. No. I
30:28
I even regret bringing up his name. I don't
30:30
say his name. Sorry. Yeah.
30:33
So anyway, that's the guy
30:35
who Alex has on his show to talk about nine
30:38
eleven. Right. You may have noticed that
30:40
the line nine eleven's just
30:42
the start is in that
30:44
really diemetic song, so this seems like a really bad
30:46
booking on Alex's part. Unless he's trying
30:48
to do a Nazi show, and in that case, this
30:50
is a great call. Good booking. Well,
30:53
see, The thing about Michael Savage Mhmm. -- is it
30:55
was all the thoughtless Nazis. Alex
30:57
is going for the thoughtful Nazi.
30:59
Right. They're the Nazis that are,
31:01
like, I'm gonna hold the door open for
31:03
you. That kind of Nazi, you know? Also,
31:05
this episode is in December two thousand three.
31:07
And by as early as two thousand seven,
31:09
Hoff Schmitt had turned on Alex and decided that
31:11
he was working for the Jewish cabal. Sure.
31:13
So in addition to being an offensive
31:15
and meritless guest, this is
31:17
also something Alex should look back on with
31:20
personal embarrassment. Here he is
31:22
elevating the stature of a lunatic
31:24
bigot who buy his own devices broadly
31:26
tops out at about being interviewed on
31:28
public access, and then he's
31:30
giving him credibility that he
31:32
will just be attacked with later. when
31:34
Erica Schmidt finds out that
31:36
Alex's wife is Jewish. Yeah.
31:38
So Great. Man
31:41
man man man -- Mhmm.
31:43
-- I just just me.
31:45
I think that once
31:47
you've thought your way into being,
31:50
like, Oh, see, it would be better
31:52
if there just weren't any of those. You're
31:54
in a bad place. Totally. You're in a
31:56
bad place. Totally. Except if you're talking about
31:58
Christmas pudding, That is a good
31:59
point, but you unfortunately have
32:02
one. Yeah. Well, we can't
32:04
always. So, you know, I
32:06
think that there's a lot of people
32:08
who are under the notion that
32:10
Alex's show in the past used to
32:12
not be as extreme as it may
32:14
as it may be now or something. And
32:16
I think it's an easy perception to
32:18
have because there's a story
32:20
that's written about Alex's past. And
32:23
it's a it's a story that the
32:25
old many people generally who have any
32:27
awareness of what a show was like are people
32:29
who love Alex and aren't going to
32:32
necessarily push back on the narrative. Right.
32:34
And also because
32:37
I don't know. Maybe Eric Hoffshmit knows
32:39
what he's doing. He doesn't out about
32:41
the Jews on Alex's show. It's a
32:43
wise move on. And so there's a
32:45
crypto element to the conversation
32:47
that they're having about nine eleven.
32:50
And if you just listen to this uncritically,
32:53
then you'd just be like, oh, this guy thinks that
32:55
the buildings are blown up
32:57
or what whatever. Yeah. When reality, what Alex is
32:59
doing is mainstreaming, elevating,
33:02
and normalizing somebody
33:04
who's essentially blamed
33:07
mean Jewish people four nine
33:09
eleven. And on
33:11
the back of that, rationalizing
33:13
a an argument for
33:16
extermination delay averted techno song.
33:18
Yeah. So I think that this show is
33:20
about as bad as it can get really in the
33:22
past. Yeah. Yeah. It
33:24
is it is there's
33:26
no way that he can't not know that
33:28
he's got massive anti Semitic beliefs.
33:30
Well, I mean, let's you know, let's let's
33:32
tease that out. Yeah. Right? Is it
33:34
possible? No. Maybe. That
33:37
that he doesn't have that okay. Maybe
33:39
it's possible it's possible Alex doesn't know
33:41
that he wants to exterminate the
33:44
Jews. Now let's let's let's
33:46
explore the possibility that Alex
33:48
actually doesn't even know that this
33:50
guy has deeply anti Semitic views. Okay. So
33:52
And that's that reveal. It reveals
33:55
a complete abdication of
33:57
responsibility to vet your guests. There
33:59
you go. best. That's what we
34:01
have. Yep. At best,
34:03
Alex is platforming
34:06
and, I mean,
34:08
quite frankly, Advocating
34:10
people support -- A Nazi. --
34:12
because he didn't wanna do his job and
34:14
figure out who he's talking to. Right. And that's
34:16
probably bad. Yeah. I mean, it's bad. It's
34:19
probably bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Terrible. No. That's
34:21
why that's why it's so ridiculous because the first thought
34:23
I had was like, oh, that's
34:25
why you vet your guests. And then the problem
34:28
was whether or not they
34:30
vetted him or not
34:32
still could have gone
34:34
either direction. know, they could have vetted him
34:36
and been like, hey, so long as you don't say the Jew stuff, we'll use
34:38
you on our nine eleven episode for
34:40
sure. Mhmm. Or they could have not
34:43
veterative and been like, well, let's just hope
34:45
he doesn't reveal that he's a complete
34:47
and total Nazi. You know? But
34:50
yeah. III mean, even as
34:52
somebody who, you know, is an expert in Alex Jones and has
34:54
listened to all this shit. I
34:56
can't really say for sure.
35:00
Right. Like, I think
35:02
the laziness argument is
35:04
more compelling. Well, you know, Tucker
35:06
vetted Kanye, that's for sure. After
35:08
the fact Wow. Wow. Wow. Exactly. Something
35:12
along those lines. Yeah. Yeah. III
35:15
think that Addis are certain
35:17
point, the argument for that
35:20
laziness and naivety or
35:22
whatever kind of is
35:24
more difficult to support given
35:26
the the the trends and the --
35:28
Yeah. -- aggressive support
35:30
of Hutton Gibson
35:32
and claiming the JBS didn't go far
35:34
enough There's some problems. I I think that Huffman would
35:36
agree that the JBS didn't go far enough.
35:38
I think well, actually, he
35:42
thinks that the JBS is partially run by the Jewish cabal,
35:44
and they're they're in
35:46
on it. Along with Alex Jones and Wednesday,
35:48
Harply, and
35:50
Basically, ever Well, then he's just lonely. And he's
35:52
watching his that's why he's posted all of
35:54
his book videos on YouTube now. We're gonna
35:56
talk about his loneliness. upload.
35:59
Yeah. So Alex intros
36:02
of Schmidt. And, you know,
36:04
I it's bad.
36:06
Erica. Hovshman a software computer programmer.
36:09
He joins us, author,
36:12
filmmaker, stepping up to
36:14
the
36:14
plate waking
36:16
up a lot of people in the waking them up
36:19
to what? Yeah. That is
36:22
an important
36:24
question. big
36:26
question. To how nazism is bad. That's
36:28
what he's waking people up to. No. I don't
36:30
I don't think he is. I don't think so either. Yeah.
36:32
Yep. I think he's going on
36:34
pub access shows and now getting
36:37
the call up to the big
36:39
leagues with Alex. And
36:42
inevitably, the
36:44
the waking up. See, waking up is is this
36:46
it's seen as this universal good
36:49
or whatever. Sure. And, unfortunately,
36:52
it's not the
36:55
waking up metaphor isn't good.
36:57
Mhmm. It's not actually
36:59
waking up. No. shifting your perspective
37:02
or something. And, you know,
37:04
what Alex is saying is this guy is waking
37:06
people up what he's actually
37:08
saying is he's shifting
37:10
people's point of reference. Right.
37:12
And that can be a good or a bad
37:14
thing. And Alex wants The presentation be
37:16
he's shifting people's perceptions about nine
37:18
eleven being an inside job. Right.
37:20
But in reality, if you
37:23
explore Eric Hoffshmet, and you go
37:25
to his website and you, you know, take take
37:28
it as material, your perspective
37:30
is going to be attempted to be
37:32
shifted to blaming Jews for
37:34
everything. Yeah. Yeah. You
37:36
know, it is including his own
37:38
loneliness, which he'll get to. Right. Right. Right.
37:40
Right. Right. It what it reminds me of now, like,
37:42
the the way that you've
37:44
just described baking up is in this context reminds me
37:46
so much of the Sandman
37:48
comics. At one point, he his
37:50
ironic punishment is the guy's
37:52
an eternal he's eternally
37:54
waking. Mhmm. So he's always living that
37:56
nightmare where you wake up from the dream and
37:58
you're like, oh, it was just a dream. Mhmm. And then it's a
38:00
nightmare and then you wake up from the dream.
38:02
And that is kind of what they're experiencing there.
38:04
You're always being woken up
38:06
again to this new thing. Now you're
38:08
woken up to this new thing that you need to be
38:10
terrified to get blank pill. Totally.
38:12
You were killed that pill. You were
38:14
awake to nine eleven, but now you
38:16
need to be awake to this. Now you need to be
38:18
awake like it's a never ending nightmare. Yeah.
38:20
And I think something that's so
38:22
easily exploitable by folks
38:24
like Alex and and and folks in this
38:26
world because, you know, the
38:28
tendency to believe in conspiracy theory freeze,
38:31
it really does build upon itself.
38:33
Right. Believing in one thing makes
38:35
you more likely to believe in
38:38
another than another. And so when when it's like,
38:40
let me reveal another thing to you.
38:42
That's the that's the market.
38:45
Yeah. And part of that feedback is the excitement you get
38:48
from waking up again. God's so exciting.
38:50
Oh, I'm I'm oh, I found it all, you
38:52
know, like, all all over again.
38:54
Instead, you're you're just
38:56
consigning yourself to doing it all again the next
38:58
day -- Mhmm. -- forever and ever until
39:00
you die. Yep. So
39:02
Hushmeat comes in and I don't think I
39:04
don't think I'm really that interested in
39:07
his perspective quite even about nine eleven. What about Techno You're in
39:09
the book on nine eleven and the cover up
39:12
there and made one of the best films
39:13
out there
39:16
on on the subject that's unlocking a lot of minds and put a lot of
39:18
new developments, and we wanted to have him I've
39:20
only had him on the show once before. That was
39:22
about a year ago. We've got Eric now
39:26
back up with us, Eric Hirschman, for those that just joined
39:28
us or never heard you before, tell folks
39:30
how you got involved in this and who you are,
39:32
what you
39:34
do, and what you put together? Actually,
39:36
I got into it
39:36
in a roundabout kinda way because
39:39
I just developed software for a
39:41
living. And after the after
39:43
the hours went down. I
39:45
was noticing on the Internet, there's a lot of people
39:47
that were called conspiracy nuts
39:50
talking about how we
39:52
shouldn't try this government of ours, something funny
39:54
about this attack. And, you know, I
39:56
was like most people, I wasn't paying that much
39:58
attention. I was dismissing them as
39:59
nuts. dismissing them as nuts But
40:02
eventually, they got through to me, you know, the constant complaining.
40:04
And I look on I so I started looking
40:07
closely at what happened on that
40:09
event and that's when
40:11
it occurred to me that those towers looked like they were blown
40:14
up. Building seven looks like it had
40:16
explosives in it also.
40:18
And I was thinking so I my
40:20
first first reaction was to
40:22
tell people about it. You know, I put some documents
40:24
on the Internet saying it looks like these
40:26
towers were blown up.
40:28
okay so Okay. So Nine
40:30
eleven happens. Yep. And he's not that interested. Not
40:32
not paying that much attention. That's a big
40:34
deal. Right. What are you gonna do? Okay.
40:36
Just nine eleven life. Alright.
40:40
that's New York. Right. Right. But when they started calling
40:42
people weird -- Right. -- that's when
40:44
I was, like, I gotta get to the bottom of
40:46
this. Ex the exact Yeah.
40:48
You know, I mean, a giant world changing terrorist attack happens and
40:51
look, I kinda do laundry. Like, I
40:53
got brains going on. Right. Right. I'm not
40:55
gonna think about that and go well,
40:57
the future of everything is irrevocably
41:00
changed for the worse now. Look, I
41:02
could I could pay attention to this, but I've got
41:04
antisemitic techno
41:06
I can't figure out
41:09
this beats. Yeah. So I I don't
41:11
know. I don't I don't think I'm
41:13
I'm not impressed by his back
41:15
story. No. No. No. No. No.
41:17
So Alex wants Eric to
41:19
really like, explain what happened here.
41:22
So let's just say I'm an average
41:23
guy on the street. You've got the film. You've got the
41:25
book. You're gonna try to explain this
41:27
to me. What happened? Tell me. Well,
41:30
it looks like
41:30
when you look at how these towers first
41:33
of all, when the planes hit the
41:36
towers, you cannot even see in the video
41:38
that the I mean, there was news
41:40
cameras all around it, and those towers
41:42
didn't hardly
41:44
move. They swallowed those planes up as if they were
41:46
nothing, like a bee had run into
41:48
them, which shows how strong those
41:50
towers were to swallow a plane up at
41:52
that high a
41:54
speed without really shaking or
41:56
wobbling or cracking. So
41:58
the plane the plane Yeah. No cracks did
42:00
not damage the building all that
42:02
much. They just Nope. The planes
42:04
hit. The the towers
42:06
shook a little bit. They heard the people
42:08
inside saying they felt the towers
42:10
sway, but it was like a strong
42:12
winter storm. And then the
42:14
tower
42:14
stood back up again and
42:16
and then settled down, and it stood
42:18
there perfectly motionless. This is
42:20
really dumb. But it makes sense that this would be Eric's
42:22
entry point into explaining how nine eleven was
42:25
an inside job. Buildings like the twin
42:27
towers are designed to sway because
42:29
of the wind. Otherwise, it'd
42:31
be very dangerous. Yeah. And you would never even
42:34
notice that wobble, even if it goes like
42:36
six inches. You would notice it if
42:38
you were inside the
42:40
building can suddenly feel the sway, but you wouldn't notice it just
42:42
watching a video. I used to
42:44
work in Sears Tower,
42:48
Willis Tower, downtown, and
42:50
it sucked, like, it was really uncomfortable --
42:52
Yeah. -- because I wasn't used to I mean,
42:54
I was a temp. So, like, it was I I was
42:56
only there a short period of time. I never got to
42:58
adjust to the feelings. Yeah. Yeah. And
43:01
it really freaked me out.
43:03
But if you were just to look at
43:05
Willis Tower, you'd never see it moving. Yeah. Nobody's like, oh, look
43:07
at the way that Willis is shaking today.
43:09
No. They're not giant buildings. And the kind
43:11
of distance building can
43:13
buckle is not enough for you to detect. It
43:16
feels like you should be able to
43:18
though. So Eric's able to use this as like an
43:20
introductory thing to throw out to blow
43:22
some minds. despite it not really
43:24
proving anything. It's just it's
43:26
it's classic conspiracy drivel.
43:28
Yeah. I've the
43:30
the the gulf between what seems like it
43:33
could be and should be true.
43:35
And what is, is so
43:37
large that there's so many
43:39
places where it's like, But you don't
43:41
I you can't understand how everything works. You
43:43
just can't. Yeah. I can. I can't
43:45
understand how giant
43:48
buildings work. I can do my best. What if I I don't. You one
43:50
block on another block. I played Jengai, and
43:52
I'm not good at it. Well, that's more
43:54
about taking down the Right.
43:58
So Hushmate is an incredibly boring guest. He
44:00
and Alex just have an interview that dances around
44:02
the general most common talking points
44:04
around nine eleven conspiracy theories, and
44:08
it sucks. Naturally, they don't get into any of Eric's
44:10
almost comical hatred of Jewish people
44:12
because Alex isn't trying to give the
44:14
audience an accurate picture serve the people
44:17
he's presenting as experts that they should support. That would make it
44:19
too clear to them what they're
44:21
involved in. Eric Huffman sucks,
44:23
and I've gone through
44:25
a lot of his website to get a better
44:27
sense of what he's all about. Everything is about the Jews. There's
44:29
a lot of holocaust denial in the mix
44:32
too. There's
44:34
one article that I thought might be interesting a
44:36
break from the rampant anti Semitism.
44:38
Right. because it was an interpretation
44:42
of Katy Perry's video for California girls. So
44:45
it's about how Katy Perry made
44:47
it a semitic video that
44:49
he had before. your girls
44:52
back. Unbelievable. Oh, what
44:54
a z duke spooking is
44:56
on top there? What did Paz have
44:58
to say about Katy Perry. So admittedly, that video is a clumsy
45:00
take on Candy Land that's intentionally
45:02
a bit campy in its over
45:06
sexuality. That's true. It's a little bit much.
45:08
Naturally, Eric believes that it's
45:10
an allegory for how the Jews control pop
45:13
stars as sex slaves. It's very boring and
45:15
it only includes a surface layer
45:18
analysis of my favorite lyric of Snoop
45:20
Dog's entire career. Bikinis,
45:23
zucchinis, martinis, noinis, just a
45:25
king and his queenie. What a
45:27
great life? That's that's
45:30
just not bucchinis, zucchinis, martinis,
45:32
no meaning. I will tell
45:34
you this. That would not go
45:37
unappreciated by Lord Byron. he
45:39
would he would very much have enjoyed that.
45:42
Yes. I also love to imagine
45:44
this party that is throwing.
45:46
People tell you what? Lord Byron
45:48
would have it one of those parties. Okay. So here here we zucchinis
45:50
or blunts -- Yeah. -- like it's weed. Yeah. It's
45:52
fine. So you got blunts.
45:56
Bucchinis. Yep. And the drink of choice
45:58
is a Martini. Martini? Not a great party drink. What's that gonna be at?
46:00
What is it gonna be at Negroni?
46:02
Come on. would
46:04
like a my tie. You would like a my tie on the beach, the rhymes
46:06
scheme? No, of course not. But a martini on
46:08
the beach sounds terrible. That does sound
46:11
terrible. What? Oh, straight gin and vermouth. Yeah. That's not
46:13
good. Great. That's not good. But no
46:16
weenies? Fine. That's fine. Yeah. No. You don't want you
46:18
don't want any
46:20
weenies. Yeah. apparently, this is a
46:22
description of an orgy according to Eric,
46:24
which is that's a snooze. Who cares?
46:26
Yeah. There's an entire saga about
46:28
this well who apparently has been emailing Eric and wanting to marry
46:30
him, but he breaks off contact with
46:32
her out of fear that she might be a
46:34
secret Jewish agent or
46:36
possibly mentally ill. Sure. He suspects I'm
46:38
sorry. He is afraid that
46:40
she might be mentally ill.
46:42
He suspects and
46:44
speculates about how this could be a setup.
46:46
Quote, one of the thoughts that passed through my
46:48
mind is that Peggy could be used in a
46:50
manner similar to Mark
46:52
Chapman. Specific the Jews may
46:54
be pushing for her to meet with me and then the
46:56
Jews would be able to kill both of us and make
46:58
it appear as a murder and
47:00
suicide by a mentally ill woman. Mhmm. So this is a
47:02
he's lonely, like I said. Yeah.
47:04
He tries to reassure himself, but
47:06
he just can't quite get there. Quote,
47:09
Piggy sent me her photo and she doesn't look
47:11
Jewish to me, but I don't think it's possible
47:13
to identify every Jews
47:16
simply by the way they look. only some of them
47:18
fit the stereotype. Man are
47:20
suckers for pretty women, but a female Jew
47:22
is just as dangerous as a
47:24
female shark. They are not our
47:26
friends. Don't be fooled by their appearance.
47:28
Control your stupid animal like emotions
47:30
and look at the evidence. Look through history and notice
47:32
how the Jews have been treating us for thousands
47:34
of years. They have never been anybody's
47:36
friend. Oh,
47:37
so this is the guy
47:39
they based seven on.
47:41
Disgusting stuff. That has
47:43
gotta
47:43
be the journals. That has to
47:45
be the diaries of a
47:47
fucking serial kill. It's it's really That is
47:50
insane fucking thing, dude.
47:52
Yikes. So I was hunting high and low for an
47:54
article about
47:56
something that didn't trace back to a Jewish conspiracy theory.
47:58
There's a lot of stuff on this site and
48:00
almost all of it is just
48:02
somehow woven back to a
48:04
complaint about Jews. Now,
48:06
like even like this whole thing about this
48:08
woman -- Yeah. -- it it goes back to his
48:10
anti Semitism. No. Even even
48:12
rampant anti Semites at this
48:14
point have to be like, hey, dude, we think you just have a problem.
48:16
chill. Yeah. We're it's not the Jews that
48:18
are causing your problems. Like, maybe
48:20
we think
48:22
it's the Jews fault for everything, but not for you, buddy. So
48:24
I was able to find one article. Uh-huh.
48:26
One. And I will
48:27
now read you
48:28
some passage. Okay. Okay. Quote.
48:32
I refrain from giving good reviews to products because I've only
48:34
used a few of the thousands of products on
48:36
the market. But Is this where you got
48:39
Shaver? No. Oh. But I recently
48:41
tried some underwear that is so
48:43
much more comfortable than everything I've had in my
48:45
life that I thought I would mention
48:47
in case some of you have been irritated by your
48:49
underwear also. Put in code anti
48:52
semite at b undy's dot
48:54
com. It is a pouch style made
48:56
by David This underwear
49:00
is extremely comfortable for
49:02
standing, sitting, or walking. But if you
49:04
have to do a lot of movements of your pelvic area such as crawling around
49:07
an attic or fixing plumbing problems
49:09
or doing exercise, The
49:11
extreme movements can cause your penis to be pulled
49:14
out of the pouch, but it remains
49:16
comfortable even when
49:18
that happens.
49:19
How do you feel? I
49:22
just put it back
49:24
in, man. Come on. What? Put
49:26
it back in. Put it back in.
49:28
Don't put that in a review. Put it back in before you put in a
49:30
review. Quote, okay? Update February first
49:33
twenty twenty. There's an
49:35
update Yep. tried their shorter version and
49:37
their bikini version. I do
49:40
not like the bikini
49:42
version because after moving around a the
49:44
material moves a slight bit off my scrotum,
49:46
allowing it to touch the skin of
49:48
my leg. I am
49:50
just I just
49:53
you know, people
49:55
are more than just one thing. Mhmm.
49:57
I think that's what we're learning. He
49:59
expands on this underwear for what seems like
50:01
the length of Novella. It does seem to be going
50:03
a while. Quote, unfortunately modern societies have such a problem
50:06
with sex crimes and sexual
50:08
inhibition that these -- It's an
50:10
unfair issue. of the avoid
50:12
words such as testicles and penis.
50:14
Seriously, I just ask you to Use words
50:16
like the boys. This is not
50:20
small. What makes this underwear so nice is that it does
50:22
what I what I wondered was possible
50:24
in a document that I posted almost
50:26
eight years ago, which is
50:30
to provide a pouch for our testicles. This
50:32
underwear goes even further and provides a
50:34
pouch for our penis.
50:36
That's that's That
50:39
also when it says eight years ago, there's a
50:41
hyperlink, and he did speculate about this
50:43
eight years prior. Yep. Now, man.
50:45
Pretty amazing. Wow. THERE
50:47
ARE NOT A BUNCH OF PRODUCT REVIEWS ON THIS SITE AND AS
50:50
FAR AS I CAN TELL, THIS IS THE ONLY
50:52
ONE. HE FOUND SOME GREAT UNDERWHERE, SO
50:54
HE'S Gotta TALK ABOUT IT at length on
50:56
his ridiculously anti semitic
50:58
conspiracy theory site. What a great bit of
51:00
free advertising for David Archie
51:02
brand underwear? They've got to
51:04
be thrilled. You
51:06
see that huge. You just I
51:08
I mean, what am I supposed to do
51:10
with the existence of all of
51:12
that? It's simultaneous.
51:14
I don't know. How do you think it feels to me? I don't know. I
51:16
don't know. Hoke it around the stupid lips. I don't
51:18
know. It's full of hate, and then there's a
51:20
fucking underwear reviewer. It can play
51:22
about the bikini ones. I don't know. But if he
51:25
doesn't like the bikini style, he can't come to
51:27
Snoop Dog's Party. That is true. --
51:29
the bikini there is betweeninis
51:33
orinis? Noinis. Which means
51:35
that those underwear wear you're weenie pops
51:37
out. Get them out of hair. I
51:39
think that's a metaphorical Weenie in this snoop song. I
51:41
think he said literal Weenie in this
51:43
song. I wish he had a
51:45
breakdown of all of Katie
51:48
Perry's videos, like, roar.
51:50
Last Friday night. See, the problem
51:52
with this is that you can't be a
51:54
rampant vicious anti semite and then do a one off product review. You
51:57
know, that's gotta be, like, a new
51:59
weekly segment for Yeah.
52:02
I was curious about something about the trial and hate. Now
52:04
it's like, oh, this bicycle,
52:06
it doesn't have a doesn't
52:10
switch gears. No gear change. Solid
52:12
ride. But the city's feet stuck to
52:14
my scrotum. That would they
52:16
would all be so scrotum based.
52:19
everything would be about in relation to
52:21
where his penis or his scrotum
52:23
is. So he goes on and on
52:25
about his various thoughts about this
52:28
underwear. Then for reasons that escape me
52:30
-- Mhmm. -- it ends with this section which I
52:32
will read to you in full.
52:34
Okay. Okay. Quote. Since this document
52:36
is probably going to be considered obscene
52:38
by some people, I may as well mention
52:40
another issue that adults ought to be discussing
52:42
without hysteria. Oh my god.
52:44
Specifically, some men believe that
52:46
having a large floppy penis makes
52:48
them better than the men who have
52:50
small penis.
52:51
Holy
52:53
shit. You are not telling me
52:55
that this eventually goes on a
52:57
small penis rat.
53:00
Oh, white. Some men believe
53:02
that having a large floppy penis makes them
53:04
better than the men who have smaller penises or
53:06
who have, quote, accordion type penis
53:08
that dresses to a smaller size. No.
53:11
No. No. No. Lowers and showers. I don't wanna talk
53:14
about it. Some people have
53:16
been so convinced of this that they're
53:18
stretching their penis to make
53:20
it such as Roberto Cabrera and businesses are
53:22
offering products for penis stretching.
53:24
And one of the questions on the Amazon
53:26
site that sells the David
53:28
Archie Under Air is from a man who's
53:30
hoping that the underwear will make his penis look larger. The children who grew
53:32
up in the USA could pick up the
53:34
edits to that have
53:36
giant penises and that women should
53:38
have giant breasts or how many people
53:40
actually want such features in their
53:44
spouse. Furthermore, Are those people, quote,
53:46
normal? Or are they mentally ill? Do, quote,
53:48
normal women actually care whether
53:50
a man has a large floppy penis?
53:54
You know, as a writer, I will tell you
53:56
this. Whenever you have certain little phrases -- Mhmm. --
53:59
that can kinda gear us towards what
54:01
your point of view perspective
54:04
that you're bringing in is, if you have repeated large
54:06
floppy penis, that is something that you
54:08
view as a negative, my friend. Do
54:11
do quote, NORMAL WOMEN ACTUALLY CARE WHETHER A MAN HAS
54:13
A LARGE FLOPPY PEENOUS. I REALIZE THAT
54:16
WOMEN WANT ARRECT PEENACES TO BE
54:18
A CERTAIN SIZE AND SHAPE,
54:20
BUT HOW many women
54:22
care how long a penis is when it's
54:24
limp. That's just fact. How many
54:26
women even want to look at a
54:28
man's limp penis. day. Who is
54:30
this? Chris Rock. My opinion
54:32
is that giant floppy penises are
54:34
an
54:36
annoyance. My
54:41
penis will
54:46
compress like
54:48
in a cordion when it's cold. Yeah. And I think that it is much
54:50
more comfortable compared to when it is
54:52
warm and flopping around. Although this
54:54
David Archie underwear is making that
54:56
flopping prop them
54:58
disappear. So that's the end of his his
55:00
underwear review. Oh,
55:02
god. Oh, my god. Right.
55:04
So, I mean, there's a survey
55:06
app lady to this that I I feel
55:09
like sometimes I want to
55:11
be able to allow people who are listening
55:13
to our show to get a get a
55:15
glimpse of. Yeah. that you're listening to Alex's show,
55:17
he introduces a guest. You look into them a
55:19
little bit. You find this
55:22
horrific bordering on exterminationism
55:24
type approach towards Jewish
55:27
people. Yeah. Some of it
55:29
masked in a pretend opposition
55:32
designism -- Sure. -- some of it
55:34
just masked in a
55:36
pseudo scientific bullshit. Yeah.
55:38
Right. And, you know, that is
55:41
unacceptable on on a hundred
55:44
different levels. Yeah. Then you
55:46
poke around a little bit more in the site and you find
55:48
this ridiculous get, like, the
55:50
Katie Perry video review being
55:52
contextualized as Jewish
55:54
people having pop star sex slaves --
55:56
Yeah. Yeah. -- whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Then you go a
55:58
little bit further and you find this nonsense. And
56:00
you're like, this is I just don't know what to
56:03
do. Yeah. Yeah. How
56:05
do I not share this? Is what I'm saying?
56:08
Yeah.
56:08
It is oh, man.
56:11
because because
56:13
hey hate is
56:14
what this guy's built his life
56:16
around. Like, his entire life is
56:19
geared around hate. period. And and his his focus
56:22
of it is is on
56:24
Jewish people for whatever
56:26
reason. Mhmm. You
56:28
know, it's obviously for anything that makes any sense.
56:30
because then you would have to have an argument that it
56:32
makes sense. But I think Which it does. Well, I
56:34
think that the way you can kind
56:36
of make a little bit of sense
56:38
of it is that so many
56:40
historical conspiracy theories have
56:42
led downhill towards antisemitism. Sure. Sure. And
56:44
so if you are getting into a hateful
56:46
conspiratorial mind view and you start
56:48
exploring a ton of things. Odds
56:50
are you will encounter material that
56:52
takes you down that road. Right. So
56:54
I think it's more likely to lead to that than to lead to other
56:56
conclusions. Right. Right. Right. Right. And that's the only way
56:58
I can make sense of it. But in terms of
57:01
the ideas making sense, obviously. Right. Right. Right. That
57:04
doesn't. Of course. But but
57:06
it is it is
57:08
in AAA
57:11
picture not of somebody with, like, some
57:13
sort of mastermindy hate that
57:15
is is built around,
57:17
like, trying to achieve
57:19
something or or exploit something or anything along those lines.
57:21
And it really does feel like this is a
57:24
person who is isolated
57:26
-- Yeah. -- in I I
57:28
mean, just insane.
57:30
In
57:31
need in need
57:34
of so many things. Oh.
57:36
You know, So so, like, his hate is fucked up, and it's also,
57:38
like, fucked up. Yeah. I I think that a
57:40
number of hints you could get from his
57:42
website are
57:44
definitely showing
57:46
some needs not being met -- Yeah. -- for sure. Yeah. In
57:48
no way, does that excuse the
57:50
direction that it goes to? No. No.
57:52
No. Of course. But I think that also
57:56
this big floppy penis underwear review. It
57:58
highlights another thing that I think is
58:00
is
58:02
crucial that You
58:04
start to see. And that is, like, with
58:06
Alex, he's a fucking monster who puts
58:08
out a hateful,
58:10
bigoted material oftentimes crypto in nature,
58:12
sometimes hiding behind other
58:14
rationales for things. Mhmm. But
58:16
he also
58:18
sings along with the highway men. Right. And he also talks over
58:20
you belong to the city, and
58:23
he also likes sci fi
58:25
to an unhealthy extent.
58:28
Like, there's other facets of his personality. Michael
58:30
Savage came up earlier, and I used to listen to
58:32
a ton of Michael Savage's show,
58:34
and he is a horrific nigga
58:36
as well. but
58:38
sometimes he tells a story and he
58:40
can weave an amazing yarn about old
58:42
time San Francisco eatery. Sure.
58:44
And stuff like that. Like, there
58:47
are other facets of these people's
58:49
personalities that sometimes are are
58:52
like this is
58:54
bizarre. Bigget people aren't only a big hit. Sure. And
58:56
that is also part of what makes
58:58
them it
59:00
makes some people be distracted
59:02
from their bigotry. Right.
59:04
Right. I think I think I'm
59:06
I'm I mean, maybe not
59:08
in the case of this underwear. No.
59:10
No. No. not distracted. I'm
59:12
I'm I'm absolutely not trying to excuse this
59:14
hate or provide an explanation for it. I
59:16
didn't I didn't think you were. Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
59:18
I I think I think
59:20
it's, like, with this particular situation, there
59:22
are lanes of of bigotry
59:24
that you can kind of
59:28
push people down or classify people under, you know, you have
59:30
people like Tucker who is a
59:32
virulent bigot who's smart
59:34
enough to hide just enough of it
59:37
pass who is using it for evil --
59:39
I'm getting his guests. -- and
59:41
or editing his guests. And
59:44
and and he's doing all of this in service
59:46
of money and power and all of
59:48
this shit. And this guy
59:50
is not that. You
59:51
know? No.
59:52
He's a bigot, but
59:54
he's not that. No. Something fucking
59:57
different. Well, he's somebody who has a
1:00:00
far more of a willingness
1:00:02
than Tucker
1:00:04
or Alex to just be upfront about the hate that he
1:00:06
has. Yeah. And then, simultaneously,
1:00:08
he's somebody who's, like, a
1:00:12
little bit too old
1:00:14
to experience blogging. You
1:00:16
know what? That's that's the kind of sense that
1:00:18
you get from what a number of these articles
1:00:20
is like somebody who
1:00:22
discovers that blogs exist
1:00:24
and think that everybody needs to hear
1:00:27
all their thoughts about underwear. Yeah. or,
1:00:29
like, this is going to be somehow
1:00:31
a meaningful,
1:00:32
the
1:00:33
like, is a pouch underwear? Like,
1:00:36
is that revolutionary at whatever point
1:00:38
he's writing this? not sure. I don't think
1:00:40
so. What I mean, couldn't you just wear briefs? I I don't know. I just
1:00:42
don't know. Anyway, I've never put
1:00:44
as much thought
1:00:46
into underwear as he put
1:00:48
into, I guess, the
1:00:50
words big floppy penis. I have not put
1:00:52
that much thought into underwear. Yeah. It's a
1:00:54
compound down for for this
1:00:56
fella. True. So here's one last clip of Alex. And
1:00:58
and this is this is another thing that I
1:01:00
think is important to
1:01:02
to wreck guys. It's
1:01:04
so important that you get this
1:01:06
twenty two dollar two hour video. I'll
1:01:08
show the twenty two dollar book
1:01:10
full of, I don't know, over a
1:01:12
hundred color pictures
1:01:13
and diagrams. Oh. This there's a lot
1:01:15
of research, incredible work, one into
1:01:18
this. You need to have the
1:01:20
book, and the video info wars dot com or
1:01:22
prison planet dot com. You support Eric's work. You
1:01:24
support my work. At the same time, you get a
1:01:26
powerful tool to wake your friends and
1:01:28
family up.
1:01:30
Out Alex is taking his access to his audience
1:01:32
and using it to funnel
1:01:34
monetary support to Eric --
1:01:37
Mhmm. -- and simultaneous obstantially
1:01:39
he's selling his materials, so Alex
1:01:41
is making money off getting the
1:01:44
audience to support and
1:01:46
buy Eric's materials. Yep. Now, when
1:01:48
we talk about Sandy Hook stuff, one of
1:01:51
the things that is really
1:01:53
important to consider in
1:01:56
terms of a lot of people like
1:01:58
to say, oh, he was wrong about something and then he apologized, why is it so
1:02:00
bad? But when you really look back
1:02:02
at this
1:02:04
period, And you look at the way
1:02:06
that Alex was funneling his audience to
1:02:08
support Wolfgang How big -- Mhmm.
1:02:10
-- and facilitate his ability
1:02:12
to carry out the harassment -- Yeah. -- to
1:02:15
fight the legal battles that that
1:02:17
he was in. The way
1:02:19
Alex directed and advocated for
1:02:21
his audience to give them money.
1:02:24
Yeah. And the way that
1:02:26
Alex sold their stuff on his
1:02:28
website -- Mhmm.
1:02:30
-- that is a relevant piece of this through the machine that
1:02:32
Alex has built and the
1:02:34
audience trust
1:02:38
and access that he has, he
1:02:40
has, like,
1:02:41
given extreme
1:02:44
people to money
1:02:46
that they would not have otherwise. Yep.
1:02:48
Wolfgang Helbig didn't have access to
1:02:50
a giant platform before Alex allowed
1:02:54
that. Eric Hoffshmitt was on public access interviews
1:02:56
and shit. Like, he didn't like, even Alex
1:02:58
in two thousand three, he was probably a big
1:03:00
gig for him. Yeah. And
1:03:04
so this is a
1:03:06
piece of what Alex is and
1:03:09
does. Mhmm. Without him, I
1:03:11
mean, nowadays, it's probably
1:03:14
diminished somewhat because there's so many
1:03:16
Internet based platforms that have large
1:03:18
audiences and stuff.
1:03:20
relevant period of time like this and into
1:03:22
the early two thousand tens, like
1:03:24
Alex was something that
1:03:26
was able to be a
1:03:30
monetary victory
1:03:32
for these extremists to be able
1:03:34
to be on Alex's show led
1:03:37
to, you know, probably access to a
1:03:39
lot of stuff you wouldn't have access to otherwise. Totally. And and the way that
1:03:41
it was spread
1:03:46
then when there weren't those those million different outlets
1:03:48
and million different Internet spaces for it
1:03:50
to to grow, the way that Alex
1:03:52
had built that, I mean, you can see all
1:03:54
the guys
1:03:56
that we still see around now. You know? Like, if it worked
1:03:58
for the way that that was
1:04:00
disseminated -- Mhmm.
1:04:02
-- a lot of those guys wouldn't have
1:04:04
quite the same Some people didn't have staying power, though. Well, that's
1:04:06
fair. I don't think Webster Tarpley is that big of
1:04:08
one. I'm not saying he was a kingmaker. Right.
1:04:13
Gerald Salenti is still just hosting the
1:04:15
fourth hour of Alex's show. Yeah. That's
1:04:17
true. So it didn't work out for everybody.
1:04:19
No. Anyway, we come to the end of this episode.

I do think that it's
1:04:31
really important to recognize this stuff
