Episode 456: July 9-11, 2020
Dan and Jordan check in on Alex’s show to see how he handles the news of Roger Stone receiving clemency.
Topics covered include:
Alex lies about Stanford ordering beating baby hearts.
Alex misleadingly discusses the FDA having contracts for stem cell research.
Alex lies about Roger Stone getting booted from social media. According to Facebook, he was operating over 50 pages in coordination, which is against terms of service.
Alex lies about an article in Foreign Affairs titled America’s Democratic Unraveling. Alex says this article is about signaling a military coup against Trump, but he’s just making that up.
Alex lies about an article which was discussing the possibility of Trump not leaving office after losing the 2020 election. The article is just about how if executive branch employees aided Trump in not leaving office, they would be open to criminal prosecution. Alex claims that this is about threatening anyone who supports Trump.
Alex claims that the CDC has admitted Covid-19 is not an epidemic. This is just cherry-picking and playing games with information actually on the CDC’s website.
Alex lies about the lawsuit involving the Supreme Court ruling that about half of Oklahoma is technically Creek land.
Alex got tricked by an old viral video of a monkey wearing a scarf on its head, which he claims is the result of monkeys seeing us wearing masks. The video predates Covid, and Alex is very dumb.
Alex lies about a Texas official suggesting that people should wear masks at home. The official, Nim Kidd, suggested this could be a good idea if you’re in a multi-generational home and are not able to distance/protect yourself when you’re in public, but Alex pretends that he’s saying everyone should always wear a mask at home, which is a lie.
Alex makes up that the Texas Division of Emergency Management takes orders from the WHO Health Emergencies Program. This is not true, they are under the governor of Texas.
Alex misrepresents comments made by Dr. Michael Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, back in March. In proper context, Ryan’s comments in no way apply to the current situation in the US. He was talking about late-stage monitoring of cases once an outbreak has been gotten under control.
Alex claims that Goldman Sachs is getting ready for a coup against Trump. The reality is that they’re just advising their customers that they should hedge their investments until the end of the year, largely because of uncertainty around the election. Factors like mail-in voting and the virus make it so it is very likely that results will be delayed, which caused market volatility in 2000.
Savannah Hernandez claims that Hillary Clinton planted the seed that Trump wouldn’t leave office. In reality, Trump has joked constantly about not leaving office. It’s one of his favorite jokes.
Owen Shroyer calls left-wing protesters “obstacles to freedom.” He expresses support for running people over, which is something that has happened at least 66 times since May 27.
Alex lies about the CIA running the newsletter On Target. That was actually written by The Minutemen, the violent right-wing anti-communist militia ran by Robert DePugh. An issue of On Target appears in the CIA’s online reading room because it was part of their observation of DePugh, not because they wrote it. The fact that Alex is reporting that is very troubling.
Alex reveals that he thinks all news stories he reads are Globalist psych warfare, and thus, when he reads a story he knows that it’s a white-wash, so he’s free to make up his own exaggerated version of the story, which must be reality. This is incredibly troubling to hear, because it’s basically Alex saying “I have created a rationalization for why it’s cool for me to lie about everything.”
