Episode 455: July 7-8, 2020 — Knowledge Fight

Dan and Jordan discuss some episodes of The Alex Jones Show where Alex discusses his Fourth of July experiences.

Topics covered include:

Alex lies about CNN not covering the stories about the Chinese government’s treatment of the Uyghur people. If you take any time at all to look into it, you’ll find a lot of reporting on CNN about the story, like this, this, this or this.
Alex claims his friend Steve Mason warned him about antifa 20 years ago. This is almost certainly bullshit.
Roger Stone appears to beg for a pardon, and claims that Bill Clinton was having an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell, whose name he also does not know how to pronounce.
Alex claims that on July 4, the planets aligned, which won’t happen again until 2161. It is actually impossible for the planets to physically align, that’s just an expression that is used to describe a situation when planets appear in the same area in the sky. Alex just got this 2161 nonsense from a Facebook meme.
Alex claims that crime goes up during full moons. A study from 1984 did find a correlation between crime and the full moon, but subsequent studies have been very mixed in their findings.
Alex claims that he inspired the Foo Fighter’s song The Pretender. This seems very unlikely.
A caller asks Alex to name the members of the “council of 12” that he’s said run the world. Alex cannot come up with anything better than “there are two Rothschilds' on there.” It’s pathetic.
