Episode 432: May 10-11, 2020
Dan and Jordan discuss the beginning of the week on Alex Jones’ show, which is pretty all over the place.
Topics covered include:
Alex discusses a Swedish company that allows people who already have implanted microchips to use them to store train tickets. He views this as the same thing as Netanyahu saying that Israel should put geo-locating chips into all school-children as a part of reopening from Covid-19. They are not anywhere near similar.
Alex has some erroneous ideas about Viking funerals, which actually come from movies. He also has some inaccurate beliefs about women in Viking communities.
Alex tries to push warmed over Seth Rich conspiracies and pretends that they are new information, as opposed to long debunked garbage.
Alex freaks out about House Resolution 6666, mostly because of the bill number. It doesn’t appear that he’s actually read it though.
Alex erroneously claims that Tanzanian president John Magufuli is a “top biologist,” and discusses his unproven claim to have tested a goat and a papaya for Covid-19. There’s no evidence that he did this. Also, if Alex actually cares about press freedom, he should be super against Magufuli.
Alex discusses the killing of Ahmad Arbury, poorly.
Alex fell for a hoax video that was going around, purporting to show the aftermath of a Covid-19 vaccine trial in New Guinea. He never looked into the video, and reported a completely false story about it to his audience.
Alex doesn’t understand the phenomenon of hysterical strength
Alex, though he is a noted military historian, is unaware that some Army uniforms used to be called “Pink and Greens.”
Alex lies about a city council resolution in San Antonio, pretending that they were going to arrest people who said “Chinese virus.” This is not true.
Alex completely exaggerates statistics about Swedish flu death numbers.
Alex lies that the CDC is no longer recording flu cases or flu deaths. This is not true, flu counts and flu death counts are easy to find if you want to look, which Alex strangely hasn’t done apparently.
Alex’s “8 Pack Power Stack” is the most confusing product he sells
