Episode 439: May 29-31, 2020

Dan and Jordan continue their coverage of Alex’s take on the ongoing protests in response to the killing of George Floyd.

Topics covered include:

• Alex brings back his old Antifa/Soros contracts, which his intern found on 4chan and are very fake, in order to build the narrative that Soros is paying people to protest in order to cause chaos and take out Trump.

• Alex discusses how Floyd and the cop worked at the same bar, and decides they had to know each other. This is an unfair reading of the quote behind this story from the bar’s owner. Alex suggests that the killing was secretly an inter-gang thing involving a secret police gang.

• The cop had shot another dude in the past when it didn’t seem necessary.

• Some businesses in the area in Minneapolis are man, but others, like Gandhi Mahal and Target, seem to be taking the long-view on things and are responding well.

• The government released transcripts of Gen. Flynn’s phone calls with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak, and they aren’t great.

• Alex claims that the Rothschilds own The Economist, and use it to give out marching orders to their minions. The reality is that the Economist’s ownership is pretty complicated.

• Alex’s friend from Blackwater was named in a lawsuit alleging he falsified testing about contractors. He was also with Blackwater from 2004-2012, so Alex should totally hate him.

• Alex appears to have taken a claim that Xi Jinping admires Hitler from a book by Bill Gertz. Gertz was recently fired by the Washington Free Beacon because he took undisclosed payment from someone he covered. This person happened to be the same person who sued Roger Stone a while back for $100 million.

• Alex claims that Omar Jimenez, the CNN reporter who got arrested on air, was arrested because he was an operative running the protest behind the scenes. This is nonsense. There are many incidents happening that imply a targeting of journalists by police.

• Alex has heard that some officials were saying that the protesters in Minneapolis were almost all from out of state. An analysis of people arrested over the course of the protests seems to contradict these claims and some officials have walked their comments back.

• Claims are made that George Floyd overdosed on cocaine. This is a misrepresentation of the preliminary coroner’s report, combined with reports that Floyd was arrested in 2005 with under a gram of cocaine.

• Alex uses black and white crime statistics, devoid of context, to try to dispute the point of the protests across the country. This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand, and is a standard tactic of the white supremacist community.

• Alex discusses a Twitter video someone posted saying that bricks were put somewhere to be used in a protest. The claims made in this video are not substantiated, but Alex is repeating them as if they are.

• Alex lies about a guy in Dallas who got beat up by protesters. Alex claims that he was beat up because he was white, when in reality, he was beaten up because he was charging people with a machete.

• Alex reports on a QAnon conspiracy theory about MN Gov. Walz’s daughter secretly commanding Antifa through her Twitter account.

• Millie Weaver shows up with a very confusing conspiracy theory that Alex doesn’t seem to understand or care for.
