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.

Episode 438: May 26-28, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss the stretch of time where Alex responds to Trump finally seeming to come to his social media defense, and the protests in response to the killing of George Floyd begins.

Topics covered include:

• Alex reports on a report from the Freedom Foundation about a few Covid-19 deaths being gunshot victims. This report itself is a misrepresentation of a Washington Department of Health press briefing, and this foundation is an anti-union think tank funded by right-wing billionaires.

• Alex complains that a murder victim was listed in the New York Times list of Covid-19 deaths, failing to recognize that they released a correction and fixed their error before the release of the late edition of the paper.

• Alex claims that 80% of Covid-19 deaths are people over 85. This is not true.

• The CDC’s report on excess deaths in New York City.

• Alex misrepresents Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer’s April executive order about nursing homes creating dedicated units to treat Covid-19 patients.

• Alex gets very anti-Islam about a few mosques being allowed to broadcast their call to prayer during Ramadan in London. Alex pretends that anyone trying to broadcast some kind of Christianity would be shut down, which means he’s never heard of Chicago’s “State Street Preacher.”

• Alex is mad that some UK politicians are fasting in solidarity with Muslims during Ramadan, but he completely missed the story where one of them accidentally tweeted out a picture of bacon to celebrate the beginning of the fast.

• Alex discusses Trump’s antagonism toward mail-in voting. The reality is that many states already use mail-in voting primarily, we have a well-established absentee voting process, and Trump’s spokesperson has used it in every election since 2008.

• The Brennan Center for Justice has cited rates of fraud related to mail-in voting as being lower than rates of in-person voting fraud.

• Alex complains that NY Health Department deleted something from their website. A spokesperson explained that they just updated the guidance from the original declaration.

• Alex discusses a Robert Kennedy Jr. article about two Bill Gates-linked vaccine trials. Two of the primary sources cited in this article seem to not match the content of the article, which is super suspicious.

• Alex appears to have admitted to being a lobbyist, and if he isn’t lying, he may have committed a crime if he didn’t report these expenses.

• Alex begins to build a number of very racist narratives about the murder of George Floyd. Dan and Jordan discuss the ways he does so by comparing his use of language surrounding this event, as compared to instances where a non-white person kills a white person. It’s like night and day.

Episode 437: Gawain With a Telescope

Dan and Jordan discuss an update to things in the world of Project Camelot. Kerry Cassidy announces that she is going to a subscription model with her videos behind a pay-wall, and thus the show’s coverage of her interviews is likely coming to a close.

For a last right, Dan and Jordan listen to her be interviewed by an Infowars associate named Shepard Ambeliss, which is very dumb.

Episode 436: May 22, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss the end of last week on the Alex Jones Show.

Topics covered include:

• Joe Rogan completely contradicts Alex’s narratives about his move to Spotify on a new episode of his podcast, featuring David Pakman.

• Owen Shroyer jokingly declares that his next rally has a goal of spreading the virus to as many people as possible. This joke is not funny now, and will be less so when we hear about the first cases that trace back to the rally.

• Alex appears to not know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. He also seems to think the amendments are the beginning of the Constitution.

• There are some pastors that are in favor of the stay-at-home orders, like Rev. Piel.

• Churches are a particularly dangerous location for transmission, and there have been cases of spread tracing back to churches, and a pastor who denied stay-at-home orders has died from Covid-19.

• Alex did not make up the story about a church being burned.

• Alex tries to use a tape of Ahmaud Arbury from 2017 to make it seem like his being killed is less of an injustice. It is disgraceful.

• The man who beat up an elderly man at a hospital suffered from mental illness and has been charged with a crime.

• A new study about hydroxychloroquine appears to indicate a higher death rate of people who have taken the medication opposed to people who have not.

• There is no law that says animal trials are required for medical testing.

Episode 435: May 18-21, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss the past week on the Alex Jones Show, where Alex repeatedly said he was going to take a few days off, then kept showing back up for cameos on the show.

Topics covered include:

• Alex has a new pre-publish study from Australia (or Austria?) that he is using to argue that the coronavirus was man-made. This is much less definitive than he is reporting.

• Alex discusses Alex Azar saying that there aren’t spikes being seen in areas that have reopened, but failed to point out that he also said it was too early to determine the effects of reopening.

• Alex misrepresents news about a lab that was recently put on a temporary hold by the FDA. They weren’t shut down due to faulty tests, it was a technical matter about them having authorization to release results to people who send in samples.

• Alex is mad at Melinda Gates wearing an upside-down cross in a recent TV interview. Alex thinks it’s Satanic, but seems to be completely unaware that it is a very important symbol in Catholicism, the Cross of St. Peter. Incidentally, Melinda Gates is a very public member of the Catholic church.

• Alex makes up a Norse history for the peace symbol. In reality, it was designed by artist Gerald Holtom in 1958, largely motivated by the nuclear disarmament movement. Alex thinks the peace symbol is the Norse symbol for death, because it looks like a tree. Alex is mixing up Valknut (a symbol of death) and Yggdrasil (which is a tree, but not a symbol of death).

• Alex misrepresents a story about a man wanted by the police in the UK for kissing a woman on the cheek. The reality of the story is that the woman in question reported it to the police and was distressed by the man’s gesture.

• Alex claims that Hydroxychloroquine is one of the only treatments for respiratory conditions. This is not true.

• Alex claims that Hydroxychloroquine is one of the only treatments for lupus. While it is prescribed to manage lupus, it is only one of many medications that are used in that context.

• Alex claims that hundreds and hundreds of studies have shown Hydroxychloroquine is 100% effective in treating coronavirus. There aren’t even hundreds of studies about this question, and the most recent ones have indicated that the medication doesn’t do anything.

• Alex misrepresents a study about Covid-19 mortality and Vitamin D deficiency. Also, he mentions a doctor who got arrested for giving patients Vitamin C. The story is more about fraud.

• Alex recommended his listeners take 100 mg of zinc daily, which will protect them from coronavirus, and apparently have no negative effects. That dose can definitely have some negative effects.

• Greg Reece and Harrison Smith reveal that they don’t know much about a virus’s “basic reproduction number” and “effective reproduction number,” and that neither of them thought to look into it before speculating about nonsense on air.

Episode 434: Bill Cooper Does OKC Part 1

Dan and Jordan begin an exploration of how Bill Cooper covered the bombing of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995.

Topics covered include:

• Bill Cooper is concerned about a bill supposedly going through the Minnesota legislature that would convene a Conference of States. There is no such bill that appears to have passed the MN state house or senate in 1995. This was all about a plan being put together by the National Association of Governors to gather state legislatures to assert state power, but the idea had been largely deflated after the GOP won control of Congress in the 1994 midterms. It lingered as a paranoia among folks like Phyllis Schlafly after this point, however.

• Bill is upset about death estimates going around in the media. It’s unclear what exactly he was referring to, but UPI’s reporting reflects responsible coverage. Bill appears to be talking about estimates from Washington by 4:30, which was when Bill Clinton and Janet Reno held a press conference. No estimates matching Bill’s version was in the conference.

• Bill is correct that 50 Penn Place in Oklahoma City was evacuated, as well as Penn Square Mall across the street. He is unclear about the subject, and it’s not suspicious.

• Times of various events are from the Document Management Team’s report.

• The anchors who discussed a phone call claiming that the Nation of Islam took responsibility for the bombing also were clear it could have been a prank call. Also, Dave McCurdy made reference to Hamas.

• The ATF has gone on the record that there were no explosives in their office. Mike Shannon testified that one of the devices that was suspected to have been found was a desk clock.

• There was a rocket launcher found in the debris. It was not hidden, nor unexplained.

• The Medallion Hotel does exist. It started a renovation project in Feb. 1995, and completed it in October 1996. Also, while there covering the bombing, Tom Brokaw allegedly yelled at a clerk for losing his reservations. There is no reason that Bill’s investigative team should be confused about whether or not this is a real hotel.

• Bill claims that an April 20 bombing in Prince Edward Island was connected with the OKC bombing. This is definitely not true. It was the work of a serial bomber named Roger Charles Bell, who taunted the police under the alias, Loki 7.

• The Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995 did not pass the Senate as S390. It also did not pass when it was introduced again as S761.

• There is no solid evidence that there is any security camera footage of the bomb detonating. The former assistant building manager Richard Williams testified that the cameras on the outside of the building had been not functional for two years at the point of the bombing. A Secret Service log references a tape of suspects exiting the Ryder truck, but it has been explained that this log contained unconfirmed reports, and it is possible that this piece of information has been misconstrued.

• OKC Police Lt. Bill Martin, who had been quoted in Relevance saying that there had been fulminate of mercury taken out of the building, testified to a grand jury that this was a “complete falsehood.”

• There were two wave signals approximately 10 seconds apart on the morning of April 19, but subsequent studies have demonstrated that this is indicative of one explosion, not two.

Episode 433: May 12-13, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss a particularly frustrating couple days on The Alex Jones Show.

Topics covered include:

• Alex thinks that amateur astronomers discover most of the Near Earth Objects, and that professionals do not do much. This is definitely not true.

• Alex claims that Mark Cuban was threatened with indictment because he was going to distribute Loose Change. The emails Cuban received were unrelated to his insider trading case, which had nothing to do with Loose Change. The guy just seemed to hate Mark Cuban.

• Also, the director of Loose Change doesn’t care much for Alex, and isn’t as much of a conspiracy theorist anymore.

• Alex claims that he was offered the starring role in Guardians of the Galaxy, but turned it down. This is a completely absurd claim, for a hundred different reasons.

• Explanation from the WHO about the roots of the misrepresentation that there is hCG in vaccines

• Alex’s primary source paper, “HCG Found In WHO Tetanus Vaccine In Kenya Raises Concern In the Developing World,” is a bad paper. It’s authors have a history of having papers about vaccines retracted, and the paper itself is not good.

• Alex claims that Bill Gates was thrown out of India and Pakistan. He in fact has not been thrown out of India, nor Pakistan. These are both lies Alex is reporting.

• Alex lies about how no meat-packing plant employees are dying from Covid-19. At least one employee at the specific Triumph Food plant that he brings up repeatedly has died.

• Alex references a 1985 paper about a birth control vaccine that he claims is an instance of the Globalists putting sterilants into vaccine, and that Anthony Fauci was involved. There doesn’t appear to be a connection, and his interpretation is incorrect.

• Alex claims hCG comes from the ovaries and testicles. This does not appear to be true.

• Alex’s First Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is a 1993 article about Gursaran Talwar’s research into a birth control vaccine.

• Alex’s Second Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is an article in Trends in Immunology about research into birth control shots.

• Alex’s Third Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is about some dark moments in American history that involve sterilization, but still is unrelated to the claims he’s presenting.

• Alex’s Fourth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is about sterilizations in India, but is unrelated to the larger point Alex is trying to present.

• Alex’s Fifth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is just about a government reorganization in India, where the state took on the responsibility of some of the funding for programs that the Gates foundation had previously been funding. The Gates Foundation stayed involved in the program afterwards, and according to Alex, Gates should have been thrown out of India at this point already.

• Alex’s Sixth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is just another article, from the July 1997 issue of Human Reproduction Update, about Gursaran Talwar’s research into birth control shots.

• Alex's Seventh Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is a product of the Population Research Institute, which is disqualifying on its face.

• Alex’s Eighth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is just Alex saying “contraceptive vaccines,” which is meaningless.

• Alex’s Ninth Headline doesn’t make his argument. He just says “Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction” and pretends it’s something he’s read. It’s not something he could read, it is an entire organization, so I have no idea what text he’s even referring to.

• Alex’s Tenth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is an article about opposition to birth control shots in India. Alex claims that this 1998 article involves the HPV vaccine, which did not exist until 2006.

• Alex’s Eleventh Headline doesn’t make his argument. There are two articles titled “Antifertility Vaccines” on Science Direct. One of them is just the same article as his Second Headline, which he already cited when it was posted on a different website. The other is a 1989 article by Gursaran Talwar about his research into birth control shots.

• Alex’s Twelfth Headline doesn’t make his argument. I think it’s something about ink cartridges making you sterile, but I have no idea what he’s talking about.

• Alex’s Thirteenth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is just the original paper from the Open Access Library Journal that started all of this.

• Alex’s Fourteenth Headline doesn’t make his argument. It is an op-ed in the Sunday Guardian which miscites an article in Nature Medicine about Gursaran Talwar’s continuing research into birth control shots, even though he was older than 90.

• Alex’s argument about Globalists putting sterilants into the vaccines has not been made in any way, this was a complete failure on his part.

• Alex’s guest, Rich Granville, organized a very-clearly QAnon themed conference, then got mad at Mother Jones for calling it that.

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

Episode 431: Smash-N-Grab Spy Jobs

Dan and Jordan take a break from Alex Jones to discuss an interview on Project Camelot with an alleged super soldier.

Topics covered include:

• Operation Green Star doesn’t appear to be a super soldier program, but is the name of a couple of operations run by authorities in Papua New Guinea, one in India, and a clothes drive in Montreal in 1967.

• Anthony’s alleged grandfather, Kelly Johnson, had no children.

• The News Tribune article about NESARA and its relation to the Omega Trust scam.

• Anthony’s boxing and MMA records

Episode 430: May 5-7, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss a bit of a holding pattern stretch on the Alex Jones Show.

Topics covered include:

• Michael Savage is not a medical doctor. His dissertation was about plants in Fiji.

• Alex claims that there is a normal number of deaths happening right now. This is not true, and it is very clearly laid out by the Financial Times.

• Alex claims that there were a bunch of scandals in the 1990’s about doctors killing patients to steal their organs. He appears to be misremembering a bit of debate about organ donation guidelines that was covered by the New York Times in 1997.

• Alex and David Knight pretend that the inevitable additional cases of coronavirus and deaths that come after states open up prematurely are proof of some kind of conspiracy. In reality, they will be the expected thing that happens, as it did in Hong Kong, as well as elsewhere.

• Alex lies about the antibody tests that we have for Covid-19. They aren’t perfectly accurate at this point, but his narratives about them turning up positive if you had a cold in the past decade is complete nonsense.

• Chinese President Xi Jinping’s daughter did study at Harvard under an assumed name, but that is not secret information, and she’s not attending classes there currently, as Alex believes.

• The US and UK did release an advisory warning about hacking, but they did not specify that they were Chinese hackers, as Alex is reporting. They just say they are Advanced Persistent Threat Groups of hackers, which is not country specific.

• Alex’s story from the “Financial Telegraph” is actually from the “Financial Mail.” It discusses the effects of the virus outbreak vs. the effects of the lockdown, as it relates to South Africa, but it paints a pretty different picture than Alex paints.

• Alex is correct that Marie Antoinette didn’t actually say “let them eat cake,” but his theories about who actually did are not supported by historians.

• Alex’s complaints about Marie Antoinette playing badminton while her people starved is way too much of a parallel with Trump going golfing frequently during the pandemic

• Alex tries to get in on the action with the new hot “documentary” Plandemic. Mostly he’s just interested in Dr. Mikovits, who has taken a past where she got a paper retracted for being flawed, then getting fired, then getting sued for taking company property, and arrested because of noncompliance with the suit, into a tale of her own persecution and (I guess) how evil Anthony Fauci is

• There is no “Event 200” in Memorandum 200

Episode 429: May 3-4, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss a couple days of Alex Jones’ show that ends up being much more about Alex’s cannibalism publicity stunt than anyone would like.

Topics covered include:

• Alex’s lawyer Norm Pattis has filed to withdraw as his lawyer in the Sandy Hook case.

• Alex discusses a supposed dossier put together by the 5 Eyes, which was covered in The Daily Telegraph and Fox News. It’s also mentioned in Foreign Policy, where it’s discussed how the dossier contradicts three of the 5 Eyes countries’ stated conclusions.

• Alex lies about the CDC supposedly cutting the number of Covid-deaths in the US. The website this comes from explicitly says the numbers on the page are weeks behind.

• Alex thinks an op-ed in The Hill about the possibility of a Hillary-Obama ticket is the revelation of the Globalists’ plan. In reality, it was written by a republican speechwriter who previously has written pro-Trump columns for the Daily Caller, and a book about how the South should secede in response to rising LGBTQ acceptance.

• Alex misrepresents an article about his cannibalism rant in Forbes.

• Alex probably has a bad grasp on A Modest Proposal. The target of Jonathan Swift’s satire is discussed in Elizabeth Hedrick’s paper.

• Francis Boyle brings up a pretty good point about the number of excess deaths that countries around the world have seen since the beginning of the outbreak. Two articles in the Financial Times discuss research into this phenomenon.

• Dan critically deconstructs Alex’s cannibalism rant to determine if there was any possibility of satire to be found therein. Spoiler alert: there is not.

• Jonathan Swift’s non-satire work, like A Proposal for Giving Badges to the Beggars in all the Parishes of Dublin, shows a distaste for the poor.

• Alex plays almost an hour of an interview from London Real with David Icke, even though that interview was Icke saying that there is no coronavirus, which is a massive contradiction of everything Alex believes

Episode 428: May 1, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss Alex Jones’ growing insistence that Trump declare war on China, and how the media played directly into Alex’s hands with the “eating his neighbors” thing.

Topics covered include:

• Alex doesn’t understand the difference between lifespan and life-expectancy. He also seems to think that people only lived to 30 back in the 1930’s, which is not true.

• Alex pretends that his outburst about eating his neighbors was satire, not recognizing that satire requires a point. The most generous description of what he was doing is trolling, and honestly, it’s most likely it was an outburst that he’s turned into a PR opportunity.

• Alex and Owen discuss the doctors in CA who say the virus is all overblown, who have been widely discredited.

• Alex pretends that a Facebook post by Jair Bolsonaro revealed real information that the WHO recommends doctors masturbate infants. It’s all nonsense, to the point where Bolsonaro even deleted the post.

• Leo Zagami shows up to talk to Alex about how these are the end times, and how in 2025 the saints will return and the inevitable Armageddon will be upon us. Leo has also declared himself Jesus, took credit for 9/11, and was big into 2012 conspiracies, so take his predictions with a grain of salt.

• Leo shows his racism by calling Mark Zuckerberg’s wife Priscilla Chan, who was born in Massachusetts, “a Chinese.”

Episode 427: April 29-30, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss the disappointingly normal days after Alex declared his plan to eat his neighbors.

Topics covered include:

• Alex lies about how crime is totally on the rise in “blue cities” after the coronavirus outbreak. Most crime is down in Chicago, as well as in New York and LA.

• Alex talks anti-vax nonsense with Del Bigtree, who claims to be an independent journalist, but is almost entirely bankrolled by the Selz Foundation.

• Alex interviews a former Satanic priest who thinks he has a mindblowing definition of “rights,” but he is just expressing very basic libertarianism.

• Alex reveals that his concept of “race memory” is something that is only passed down to a person’s first born son. On rare occasions, it’s passed down to a daughter, and she will go on to become a queen. It’s a wild glimpse into a very unhealthy and chauvinistic mind.

• Alex discusses his conception of world history. Apparently a sinister conspiracy began in Greece 2,300 years ago, then nothing notable happened until the days of the Bubonic Plague, and the Gutenberg Press. Alex doesn’t seem to realize that China had movable print technology developed long before that, because he doesn’t think non-European history is real.

Episode 426: April 27-28, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss a couple of really weird days on The Alex Jones Show. This will always be remembered as the day when Alex decided to yell a bunch about how he was ready to eat his neighbors, and then broke down crying about his kids.

Topics covered include:

• Alex lies about UV light related therapies that are being studied at Cedars-Sinai. He also lies about their YouTube and Twitter pages being taken down, when both are still up.

• Alex misrepresents a USA Today fact-check about the claims that hospitals are making more money for Covid-19 patients.

• Alex, noted Biblical scholar, believes that the Book of Hosea is the “Book of Jose.”

• Alex forgets what “Anglo-American Establishment” means in his world, and accidentally says that we need to side with them, when that term actually means the same thing as “the Globalists.”

• Alex says that 90% of people lived in rural areas in the Great Depression, but this number is not accurate.

• Alex’s strategy to eat people for nutrition is not a great plan. Humans are not a good source of calories, according to research published in Nature. Also, a lot of people who engage in cannibalism have weirdly familiar personality traits to Alex.

Episode 425: April 23-24, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss the episode of the Alex Jones Show where Alex discusses his plan to record his final episode in the next week, to be released in the event of his death, or possibly to be released immediately. He’s unclear on the specifics, and he doesn’t follow through anyway.

Topics covered include:

• Alex lies about an article in the New York Times that he definitely didn’t read. It is about allegations that Chinese agents pushed misinformation, which Alex is pretending is about the entire coronavirus fear being the result of Chinese misinformation. This is a complete misrepresentation of the actual article.

• Alex claims that Covid-19 related deaths are being massively exaggerated, when all credible sources are suggesting the numbers are likely lower than the reality.

• Alex doesn’t understand that the Civil War happened before we understood how infectious diseases work, and that there were a bunch of outbreaks during that war that actually prolonged the conflict quite a bit. Also, Alex says that the Civil War was fought “to give black people rights,” which is a direct contradiction of everything else he’s ever said about the Civil War.

• Alex claims that there were Covid cases in the US in November 2019, when he’s really just misrepresenting the words of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

• Alex thinks that Ian Fleming wrote Moonraker to expose the Globalists’ plans to hide out from a chemical weapon release on a space base. Alex doesn’t realize that space was only a part of the movie version of Moonraker, which Fleming didn’t write. The book version is very different, and Alex has no idea what he’s talking about.

• Alex’s first guest, Shiva Ayydurai, hates Alex’s second guest, Rashid Buttar. Because Alex won’t cancel Buttar, Ayydurai storms off the show, and Alex ends up canceling the interview with Buttar for no reason. It is a real mess.

• In an attempt to point out how few shark-related deaths there are each year, Alex chooses a random number, and accidentally severely embellishes the problem. He claims there’s 30 a year, when in reality, the average is 4.

• Alex has decided to champion world hunger because it’s convenient for him to now, though he hasn’t cared much about the issue in the past. He also doesn’t seem to realize that his hero Trump has been making budget cuts to programs that feed starving people in the US, so you can imagine how little Trump cares about hungry people abroad. Alex also doesn’t wrestle with the fact that the people he’s demonized his entire career, the UN, includes people on the forefront of working to solve this problem for as many people as they can. Alex is the villain in his own story.

• Alex lies about Lady Gaga having to sleep with a personal assistant because she’s afraid of demons.

• Alex’s story about ancient people being tricked by people who know about eclipses has a deep tradition in 1800’s English literature meant to reinforce white supremacy over the foolish “savages.”

• Alex lies about a story about coronavirus tests being tainted. There were some contaminated tests, but they weren’t sent to us by China, as Alex asserts. Further, there’s no evidence that these tests ended up infecting anyone.

Episode 424: April 21-22, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss the Tuesday and Wednesday episodes of The Alex Jones Show, and witness a man exhibiting wildly fluctuating emotions, from lashing out about how much he hates his own show and the world needed to burn on Tuesday to business-as-usual on Wednesday.

Topics covered on this episode include:

• Alex claims that “When government fears it’s people, there’s peace; when people fear their government, there’s tyranny” is a Thomas Jefferson quote. It is not. The quote actually comes from a 1914 debate against socialism (pg. 36), and wasn’t attributed to Jefferson until 1994, in a book written by a guy who thinks he’s a part of the intergalactic council.

• Alex misrepresents comments made by Anthony Fauci, to try to pretend that he had admitted back in 2017 that there was a plan to hit Trump with a pandemic. The full context of his comments reveal that Fauci was discussing how every president faces emerging diseases and public health events, and Trump’s time in office would be no different.

• Alex pretends that the UN warning that 30 million people around the world could be at risk of starvation is directly connected to whether or not the US economy is reopened. It is actually a far more complicated picture that involves the coronavirus, but also completely unrelated issues around the world, like war and locusts. Alex tries to use a Globe and Mail article to defend his arguments, but it isn’t helpful.

• Alex misses the point of the recent negative oil prices. Articles in the WE Forum and FT do a good job of exploring the relevant points.

• Conversation about doctors rationing care was rooted in the experiences that doctors were living through in Italy, and in Spain.

• FactCheck explains the reality behind the issue of hospitals and Covid-19 payments

• There is one NY Post article about the NY DNR order, and another about that same order being scrapped.

• Alex should not support William Barr, under any circumstances. He has blocked 9/11 victims’ families from accessing information they’d been promised, and he was George HW Bush’s Attorney General during the Ruby Ridge stand-off.

Episode 423: April 20, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss Alex’s very not-chill 420 episode.

Topics covered include:

• Alex believes that the Mark of the Beast has been announced in the part of a patent that he thinks is number 060606. The actual patent number is 0097951, the 060606 number is the publication number from the patent being filed with the World Intellectual Property Office.

• Alex continues his outrageously depressing on-air behavior, all but declaring that his enemies cannot be defeated, and that he will soon be gone.

• Alex barges off air after discussing a failed attempt at creating a social media website.

• Alex tells a story of yelling at people at a grocery store because they judged him for not wearing a mask. Meanwhile, Alex is selling Infowars branded masks.

• David Icke stops by to tell Alex about how Covid-19 doesn’t exist, and the pandemic is actually based on a fake, non-existent virus. Alex is pretty convinced by this argument, despite the fact that it completely invalidates pretty much everything else he’s pretended he’s proven about the virus so far.

Episode 422: April 17, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss an episode of the Alex Jones Show that is mostly about Alex trying to make a target of a med school professor in Singapore, and rattling the sabers of war toward China.

Topics covered include:

• Owen Shroyer’s recent suspension from Twitter for promoting a rally against social distancing

• Alex’s new theory that Facebook’s science fact-checking is being run by one of the top scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This is based on a misrepresentation about Dr. Danielle Anderson, who contributes to an entity called Health Feedback, which is a part of Science Feedback, a group that is subcontracted by Facebook to assist with fact-checking. She teaches at Duke-NUS in Singapore, and has worked occasionally with researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the past

• Alex claims that Hillary Clinton views 1984 as a how-to-manual. This is based on a blog post about an excerpt from her 2017 book, and he’s just quoting the headline of that blog

• The co-discoverer of HIV has made comments that Alex is citing as support for his positions. A lot of this is based on the retracted Indian paper about Covid-19, which has been discredited, particularly by a Feb. 2020 article in Emerging Microbes and Infections

• Alex’s belief that Facebook is run by 10,000 Stasi members is based on a misrepresentation of a German task force on online hate speech, which included an NGO headed by Anette Kahane, who was an unofficial informant for the Stasi for a few years when in college

• The CDC is not covering up the flu season, they’ve just ended updating their burden estimates for the season.

• Alex is being sued by his ex-wife for a lot of money, in a case that is set for trial on April 23

• Alex’s water filters are shipped by My Patriot Supply

• Johns Hopkins keeps a list of all the Covid-19 tests, one of which was developed at Duke-NUS, and Dr. Anderson did assist with it. This test they created was designed to detect very specific antibodies, because they were developing it in a country that had been hit hard by SARS.

Also, Alex and Owen Shroyer engage in some wacky comedy bits, including Owen wearing a baby mask and pretending to kill Alex.

Episode 421: April 16, 2020

Dan and Jordan discuss Alex Jones’ return to the studio after a couple days’ absence.

This episode covers:

• Alex conflates an AP report with a story from Fox News to claim that the AP was reporting that the coronavirus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab.

• Alex attempts to minimize the coronavirus by comparing it to various plagues of the long-distant past.

• Alex lashes out at vaccines by misrepresenting an interview that Bill Gates recently did with CNBC.

• Alex discusses his plan to flee Austin to an armored redoubt, which may or may not have something to do with a warning letter he recently received from the FDA.

• David Knight falsely claims that Harvard professor Charles Lieber was charged with espionage. The DOJ charged him with making false statements.

• Isaac Ben-Israel’s claims about viruses just lasting 40 days is not a consensus opinion.

Episode 420: Militia Tech Support Call-In Show

Dan and Jordan cover an episode of Bill Cooper’s show, The Hour of the Time, where Bill opens up the phone lines and takes any questions his callers might bring up.

The episode explores some of the similarities and differences between Alex Jones and Bill Cooper, as manifested in the way the two men interact with their callers. Of note is the way in which Bill is willing to disagree with his callers about unfounded things they believe, and how his focus seems to be on challenging his listeners, as opposed to the way that Alex enables his listener’s paranoia and conspiracies in order to keep them in the fold.

You can find the complete episode of The Hour of the Time, from November 29, 2000, here.
