Summary

Knowledge Fight Episode #1121: February 28, 2026

Date: March 2, 2026
Hosts: Dan and Jordan
Main Focus: Dan and Jordan analyze Alex Jones's response to the U.S. and Israel’s joint attack on Iran—an event that has resulted in the death of the Ayatollah and other major ramifications.

---

Episode Overview

This episode begins lightheartedly, with Dan and Jordan sharing their personal "bright spots"—discussions that spiral from the latest (and most unhinged) season of Survivor to victories over pet bowel issues. The tone then pivots drastically as they address the huge breaking news: Trump, in cooperation with Israel, has attacked Iran, killed its Supreme Leader, and ignited a global crisis.

The core of the episode is a dissection of Alex Jones’s reaction to these events—how he rationalizes the war, fumbles constitutional arguments, and navigates his own complicity in cheerleading Trumpism. The hosts mix biting analysis with humor, exposing contradictions in the Infowars narrative and reflecting on their own exhausted incredulity at witnessing yet another U.S.-led regime change war.

Key Highlights & Discussion Points

1. Opening Banter: Bright Spots (01:10–12:02)

• Dan opens with a “bright spot”: the new, disastrous fan-controlled season of Survivor, sarcastically blaming fans and Survivor host Jeff Probst for abdicating responsibility.
  • “It feels passive aggressive…this is just a ‘be careful what you wish for’ lesson.” – Dan (02:46)
• Jordan shares a surprisingly deep joy about his dog’s new “two poop strategy," crowing about humble victories and mocking the excesses of F1 racing life.
  • “I'm stoked about that. That's what living's about.” – Jordan (11:29)
  • This light intro does double duty, setting up the nihilist humor that will contrast sharply with the main episode content.

2. Setting the Serious Tone: The Iran Attack (12:02–14:19)

• The episode’s main subject: The US and Israel’s coordinated attack has killed Iran’s Ayatollah and some of his family, likely setting off a huge regional crisis and ending any myth that Trump is “the peace president.”
  • “It’s difficult to imagine this is just gonna be no big deal.” – Dan (14:30)
  • The hosts summarize how Trump and his media boosters (including Alex Jones) always painted Democrats as warmongers and Trump as the anti-war candidate—now catastrophically contradicted.

3. Infowars’ Wobbly Response: Alex Can’t Get Good Guests (19:25–21:12)

• Alex Jones opens with braggadocio, then awkwardly tries to build credibility for his emergency show by announcing lackluster guests.
  • “How bad are things at Infowars that Trump has launched a war and Alex is teasing that his son will do analysis?” – Dan (19:25)
  • Rex Jones, Alex’s son, cancels; only staffer Brianna Morello shows up, highlighting the internal collapse of Team Alex.

4. Parsing Alex’s Rationalizations and Excuses

a. This Is Not ‘America First’ (21:18–22:28)

• Alex feebly protests that the Iran war is “not America First,” reciting old neocon conspiracy talking points, but refuses to actually condemn Trump.
  • “Alex can call Trump’s actions bold all he wants…at the bottom of the barrel, what we’ve got is a regime change war that Alex is not opposed to.” – Dan (27:12)

b. Constitutional Contortions (45:33–47:14)

• Alex briefly admits: “This violates the Constitution. Where is the war powers? This is not war declared…”
• Dan highlights the rhetorical trick: Alex shifts instantly from condemning the illegality to deflecting that critics are “for the mullahs,” never demanding Trump’s removal.
  • “The actual response…is, so now Trump has to be arrested, right?” – Dan (47:14)

c. Trapped in Cognitive Dissonance

• Hosts observe Alex’s desperation in blaming everyone but himself, oscillating between calling the attack “bold” and lamenting so-called “fake audiences.”
  • “Alex needs to be...so against this, and all he can muster is, ‘it’s bold, let’s see what happens.’” – Dan (41:04)

d. Brianna Morello’s Islamophobic Remarks (59:57–63:03)

• Brianna Morello advocates surveillance and possible raids on US mosques, denying Islam is a real religion, and repeating anti-Muslim conspiracy tropes.
  • “We got to Japanese internment camp at record speed.” – Jordan (60:46)
  • The hosts express disgust at how quickly Infowars returns to 2003-style Islamophobia.

5. Key Quotes Highlighting The Absurdity

• "Comedy villain, war profiteer [Erik Prince] says, don’t go to war. Huh." – Dan (23:35)
• “I woke up right at 2am, felt a disturbance in the force.” – Alex Jones (25:41)
• "This is not politics as usual, but it's false that it's any different...Trump is acting this way, it invalidates Alex's version of Trump." – Dan (38:25)
• “If you violate the Constitution, you are no longer qualified for the job.” – Dan (50:00)
• “If you ever accept...a leader can violate the Constitution for the country's own good, then you don’t get to pretend you care about the Constitution.” – Dan (66:48)
• “There's no way to say this isn’t a violation of the Constitution. I think Alex has to start softening to J.D. Vance.” – Dan (51:08)

6. Host Reflections: War, Propaganda, and American Amnesia

• A major refrain: How history repeats. The “war on terror” propaganda returns instantly, Infowars cannot process its own complicity, and the right is already asking: What about out-group surveillance and collective punishment?
  • “It feels like we're 20 years in the past.” – Dan (63:03)
  • “Blood thirst is greater than learning ability.” – Jordan (89:14)
• Dan and Jordan critique not just Infowars, but a broader failure of American institutions and political will to learn from Iraq, revealing cycles of war—sold as necessity, in violation of US law, with predictable atrocities and no accountability.

7. Absurd and Grimly Comedic Asides

• Recurring digs at Alex for substituting staff for competent guests, tech failure, and the pure memeification of political battles.
• Dan and Jordan imagine alternative, comically dystopian solutions to the war—e.g., launching Trump at Iran via circus cannon—as a way to process the horror by breaking the tension.
• Mocking the tired “broken promise” rhetoric: “What politician hasn’t broken a promise by blowing up another leader?” – Jordan (82:59)

---

Important Timestamps

• Survivor/Cultural Banter: 01:11–11:57 (light/irreverent)
• Dan sets Iran context: 14:14–14:49
• Alex’s lawless bluster: 19:25–23:09
• Alex’s bold/muddle: 26:50–29:10; 36:06–37:56
• Constitutional crisis discourse: 45:33–50:02
• Brianna Morello’s Islamophobia: 59:57–64:03
• “We’re just doing the same propaganda as 2003” reflection: 63:03–66:31
• Alex can’t take a stand: 73:03–74:05
• Infowars confessional/nausea: 83:37–86:08

---

Memorable Moments

• Dan and Jordan’s disgust at how easily Infowars (and the US) repeats post-9/11 rhetoric:
  • “You just want to slaughter people—out groups, you get to determine what they are, and they don’t have rights.” – Jordan (61:47)
• Savage takedown of Alex’s fake neutrality:
  • "This is a coward’s gamble...too scared to admit he wants Trump to conquer the world...pathetic.” – Dan (73:37)
• Mock empathy for Trump’s broken promises:
  • “No one's perfect—sometimes you gotta violate the Constitution.” – Jordan (83:16)

---

Thematic Conclusions

• Infowars has become exactly what it once (falsely) claimed to fight: It justifies lawless state violence as soon as “their guy” holds power.
• Alex Jones’s position is now unsalvageable on principle: He cannot outright support or denounce Trump’s war, only feign confusion and hope for the best, even as he openly admits illegality.
• Nothing ever changes: Rhetoric, propaganda, Islamophobia, and war crimes are repeated, with hosts lamenting how quickly “bold” becomes “business as usual.”
• Sarcasm and gallows humor mask a sincere sense of despair: Dan and Jordan’s wit barely conceals their exhaustion at repeating the same conversations from decades past.

---

Final Quote

“I don’t know how to respond to this appropriately. And the fact that Alex is having this response is fucking insane.” – Dan (88:35)

---

For Listeners Who Missed The Episode

This breakdown demonstrates both the raw absurdity and the bleak gravity of the moment. Dan and Jordan expose the intellectual rot at the heart of Infowars by holding Alex and his crew to their supposed antiwar principles, revealing not just personal hypocrisy but a system designed to cheerlead authoritarian violence—so long as it’s on “their” side. The humor is dark, the insights cutting, and the ultimate theme clear: We have learned nothing and are condemned to repeat this horror unless we break the cycle ourselves.

Red alert. Red alert. Knowledge Fight. Dan and Jordan. I am sweating. Knowledgebody.com. it's time to pray. I have great respect for Knowledge Fight. Knowledge Fight. I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys. Knowledge Fight.

[A]

Dan and Jordan.

[C]

Knowledge Fight.

[A]

Need.

[B]

Need money.

[C]

Andy in Kansas. Andy. Andy. Stop it. Andy and Kansas. Andy and Kansas, it's time to pray. Andy and Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding us.

[A]

Hello, Alex.

[B]

I'm a fish color.

[C]

I'm a huge fan. I love your word.

[A]

Knowledge fight.

[C]

Knowledge fight dot com. I love you.

[B]

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan.

[A]

I'm Jordan.

[B]

Where a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.

[A]

Oh, indeed we are.

[B]

Dan, Jordan. Dan, Jordan.

[A]

I have a quick question for you.

[B]

All right.

[A]

What's your bright spot today, buddy?

[B]

It's March, so let's get over the bullshit. I'm going first.

[A]

I think that's what you have to do.

[B]

Yeah, I'm going to march like the Penguins up into this.

[A]

March is Dan's month. Yeah, yeah, yeah. March is Dan's month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

It's all about me going first.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

First in the gimme gimmes.

[A]

I like it. I like it. Beware the ides of March, though. Keep an eye out. Shit's coming.

[C]

You've.

[A]

You've taken a lot responsibility this month.

[B]

Something bad might happen.

[A]

It might happen to you. Yeah.

[B]

Nothing bad's happened to you. All right, so my bright spot is that season 50 of Survivor is upon us. I don't like this show and yet I keep watching it. So I do like it in some way. I'm so conflicted.

[A]

Right, right, right.

[B]

It's just. Anyway, here's what I wanted to. I wanted to tell you about Jordan.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, tell me about it.

[B]

Okay, so they have the season 50. The theme is in the hands of the fans.

[A]

Oh, that's no good.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Don't put things in the hands of the fans.

[B]

The premise is supposed to be that everything is voted on online. Sure. So, like, how strong advantages are, what types of advantages there are in the game. Right, right. Who's on the cast? All of this was voted on. And to me, I think that sucks because that's probst blaming us for this.

[A]

Sure, sure.

[B]

He's saying you wanted this. You look at this, you wanted this.

[A]

I mean, when you're the captain of Bodie McBoat face. I imagine you're like, this is not my fault. This is my fault.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You guys made this happen.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, yeah, that's going to be a fucking disaster.

[A]

It's going to be trash and it's your fault. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I do appreciate an entire season of television that is essentially like a be careful what you wish for lesson.

[B]

It feels passive aggressive. And I also think that it's bullshit. There's no way these were fair votes. There's no way any of that. But who cares anyway? Sure, there's an advantage that is revealed in the first episode, and if you haven't watched it and don't want spoilers, skip ahead.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Someone finds an idol, of course, but it is not an idol.

[A]

Oh, shit.

[B]

It is a Billie Eilish Boomerang idol. And I'd see you looking off into the distance

[A]

now before we continue, just to be clear, I refuse. Now, you can keep going.

[B]

Well, in the past, there's not been, let's say, idols or anything that have been named after celebrities.

[A]

It would be strange.

[B]

That is very weird. Yeah, but you would think that if it's the Billie Eilish Boomerang idol, she's gonna be on the show in some way. She doesn't appear.

[A]

Did she pay for it?

[B]

No. Maybe. I don't fucking know. There's a note. This person finds the idol and there's a note that says, hi, Billie Eilish here. That's it. That's the connection.

[A]

Unexpected. No, no, no. This. This is like the naming of stadiums again. It's fucking Wrigley field. It's not U.S. cellular. It's not fucking Oricola radio. It's none of that shit. Name it after some asshole.

[B]

I'm guessing that she's contractually obligated to appear at the finale now because her name was on this idol.

[A]

It' be something.

[B]

But the premise of this idol is that a person finds it and then they have to give it to someone on another tribe. And then if that person gets voted out while holding the idol, it comes back to them.

[A]

It.

[B]

It.

[A]

Wait, wait, wait. So the idol doesn't protect them from being voted out.

[B]

It can if they use it. Right. The person that they send it to, if they use it correctly, then it works. But if they get blindsided and voted out while they still have it, it boomerangs back to the other person. Who would.

[A]

I demand everyone blame Billie Eilish for this.

[B]

I do, too.

[A]

Yeah, I think it's I think it's clear whose fault this is.

[B]

If she puts her name on it.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Holy shit.

[A]

That is the worst.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

So. And again, I just have probst looking at me, telling me it's my fault that the fans wanted this. No, I don't want this.

[A]

Did the fans vote on the name, too? I guess that would make sense. It would make sense if they were allowed to just randomly name shit because Billy, does Billie Eilish. Does Billie Eilish have a song called Boomerang?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Is she famous for being Australian in some form?

[B]

No, that's Nicole Kidman.

[A]

All right, so. So then. So you've named the idol after her.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Who is a person who makes music, as far as I understand it.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Then you've given it a mechanic, but you've not put her there or made it make sense.

[B]

And it's an overly complicated mechanic that really doesn't, like. It's not necessarily interesting for gameplay. But here's the other thing. There are celebrities that are associated with survival.

[A]

That's kind of what I was thinking.

[B]

Like, Sia is really associated with survival.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is that. Cause you can't see her probably. Okay.

[B]

She gave, like, $50,000 to a player who didn't win a season because he, like, refused to kill a chicken or something like that. And she's an animal rights activist, but since then, she has been, like, deeply involved in, like, the finale. And I think Tyler Perry is, like, a huge survivor guy, man. But, like, I. Why, Billy?

[C]

I was.

[A]

What the fuck the kids these days, anyway? I was. I'm still stuck. I thought Lord was still young. How old are we? We're very old, Right?

[B]

I think she's young in my mind.

[A]

That's the problem. That's the problem.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So is, like, Cher. So this is a. This is an issue. I'm all gonna die someday.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I. Mike White from White Lotus is Also on season 51 of the contestants, and I went back and watched his first season, and I was like, I bet I'm fairly close in age to how old he was on the first season. Looks old, and I am fairly close. That's bummed me out.

[A]

I mean, you look great, though.

[B]

Thanks.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. I think. I think here's. Here's what we got to hang on to, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This is what I keep thinking about. Remember the people who grew up in, like, the 20s and, like, how much cold was just around and then their faces at 30 were, like, just a fucking mess?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So that can happen, but we've escaped it.

[B]

But back then you could be like a sex pot, dreamboat kind of guy and wear fucking suspenders, right? You know, you could be like a cigar chomping guy with a silly hat and suspenders. People like, look at that heartthrob man.

[A]

You remember, you remember grumpy old med.

[B]

Grumpy ear old man, right?

[A]

I remember. I remember reading about what's his face. Not lemon. No, not lemon.

[B]

Math out.

[A]

Yeah, I remember reading about math out. And like he was a sex symbol. And so I was like, all right, let's take a look. And I went and watched one of his movies in the 60s. First off, great movie. Second, looks exactly the same. Looks exactly the same. 40 years apart. That man's face did not change.

[B]

But I bet you went back and watch it and you're like, I get it.

[A]

I mean, his hunched over shoulders, his inability to seem like he can lift anything. This is absolute dynamite, my friend.

[B]

I don't know how this spiraled off into this, like this area. Because I think Mike White even like now and then is an attractive man. I'm not saying he's.

[A]

I think Baldzer Bathhouse and attractive.

[B]

Age. He shows his age.

[A]

Fair enough.

[B]

Anyway, I think this season sucks and I blame probes for blaming me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What's your bright spot?

[A]

That's fair. My bright spot is it's a little abstract. So I'll give you some background. All right. So last year, 2025, Sonny, our new dog, our third pup, just really shit on the floor all the time inside.

[B]

Just really battle for you.

[A]

It was not good. It was a fight. It was a struggle. So somewhere around the end of December, right, I realized something. Maybe, maybe I can trick her into pooping twice in the morning.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Right.

[B]

This is an interesting gamble.

[A]

I call it the two poop strategy. Right? We get it to work and so whenever. Right, right, right. Whenever we started doing this, it worked and then it kept working, but then, right, the snow stopped falling. So I was like, what are we going to do? This environment has changed. Now she's pooping into piles of leaves. I don't know why this makes sense, but what's important is that if she does it twice in the mornings, we're free and clear.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

Free and clear.

[B]

So let me, let me see. I don't have a dog, so I don't know the schedule, but you take, you take usually a dog out in the morning and in the afternoon, I

[A]

take the other two out at least three times a day.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

So okay.

[A]

Morning, afternoon and night.

[B]

Okay, so with sunny you go to in the morning and then you still go afternoon and night.

[A]

Nope, we only go once outside in the morning, separate. And she poops twice. Because I take her from one area and she poops and then I move her into a completely separate area and she's like I don't know what's supposed to go on.

[B]

And she poops again but then doesn't have to go out again later.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

This is weird.

[A]

It is so strange. Her sunny brain is crazy.

[B]

I don't know if this is brain. I think this might be guts.

[A]

Could be any number of things. Second. But here's the, here's the abstract part of this, right. So I was handling my business this morning and after she does, after she executes the two poop strategy, then I take her little boots off and we race inside, we run and we both have a grand time. It's 5:30 in the morning and we're both screaming about how fun it is. And then I remember cuz we watched the F1 show the drive to Survive yesterday and I was so happy with this little dog because she wasn't shitting inside anymore. I was like those fucking idiots. They live such stupid wastes of life. Do they not understand how great the TPS is? Those fucking. And that's, that's how I want to live. I'm a very humble man.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Because I look at those people driving. That guy got paid like 12 and a half million dollars to drive like fuck 10 times. Boring. Loser. Loser.

[B]

Get out of here. My dog's poop schedule.

[A]

Exactly. I'm stoked about that. That's what living's about. All those people are crazy on that show.

[B]

Well I'm happy for you.

[A]

Absolute lunatics. And I'm having a great time.

[B]

Well this, I know that we've talked about it quite a bit. This is a, this is a real battle that you've had with the bowel.

[A]

It's a victory. It's a victory. I mean I don't want to, I don't want to declare it too soon but a couple months is solid.

[B]

Yeah, a couple months is solid pattern.

[A]

It really does. Yeah, it really does.

[B]

Nice. Well Jordan, unfortunately we had a bad day today.

[A]

I believe that may be true.

[B]

So yeah, Trump attacked Iran and we'll talk about it. But first let's say hello to some new Wongs.

[A]

Oh that's a great idea.

[B]

So first, Mackie Switchblade, the furry space potato. Smoocher Cat says your face is so full of Meaning the other Nene agrees. You are our champ. You got this. Thank you so much. You're now policy wonk.

[C]

I'm a policy wonk.

[A]

Thank you very much.

[B]

Thank you. Next, play Omega Strikers. You might not regret it. Also, we named our dog after an evil dragon, Orochi. But we first named her after an evil racist dragon, Snallygaster, for two weeks before we found that out. Show everyone her picture, Dan. Now that you said it out loud, you really. You should really show her picture. Thank you so much. You're now policy wonk.

[C]

I'm a policy wonk.

[A]

Thank you very much.

[B]

I don't have a picture of the racist dragons.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I don't know what's going on next. Hey, wife. I finally did the thing. The high point of my week is listening to knowledge fight with you. Unless Milo Yappel Pidmus Chalkboard Nails Incarnate shows up. Love husband. Thank you so much. You're now a policy wonk.

[C]

I'm a policy wonk.

[A]

Thank you very much.

[B]

Thank you. And being a technocrat in the mix, Jordan. So thank you so much to Jordanian jihad. I know that what it was going for, I couldn't pronounce it. Thank you so much. You're now technocrat.

[C]

I'm a policy wonk.

[D]

4 stars.

[C]

Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. Daddy shark, bom bom. Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. He's a loser. Little, little kitty baby. I don't want to hate black people. I renounce Jesus Christ.

[B]

Thank you so much.

[A]

I would say that if people destroy all AI in my name. Totally stoked about that.

[B]

Yeah, I get that. And I think that. I just think that the Jordanian. I think that needs work. But Larian sounds way better. Yeah, it comes off the tongue. Better than a combination of our names.

[A]

Jordanian. That doesn't sound too bad. Jordanian Jihad.

[B]

I like the L in the Butlerian.

[A]

Yeah, The L is pretty crucial.

[B]

Really helps it come out.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. The rising and falling action of it now. So

[B]

it looks like we're on the path towards a giant war. Sure. Jordan, it looks like things are bad.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

On Saturday, Israel in the United States carried out a series of attacks on Iran that resulted in the death of the Ayatollah along with a number of members of his family and a bunch of other people.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

Obviously, by the time we're recording this episode, we have no idea what the ripple effects of this are gonna be. But it's difficult to imagine this is just gonna be no big deal. For years, one of the largest selling points for Trump and the Patriots has been that they're not gonna get the US involved in wars. America first, you know what I'm saying?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Trump was the peace candidate and Alex constantly would argue that if Hillary got into office, she would take us to war immediately.

[A]

Right.

[B]

This was sold as a point of no return that the globalists would take us to. And one of the biggest reasons that there was an immediacy that Trump needed to win in 2016. I have no interest in defending the Ayatollah, but I have as little interest in arguments that depend on saying that the world is better off without him in power. Sure, that may be true, but in order to entertain that argument, you have to distill everything down to a single variable. And that's just not how things work in the real world. Sure. This is an interesting position for Alex to be in where his chosen God King has done the thing that the devil was supposed to want to do. When Trump attacked Iran last time, it was fairly easy to play that off as a situation where world leaders were posturing and you know, there's a small scale attack that would prompt a small scale retaliation and then fizzle out. There was gonna be backlash from some areas in the right wing media audience obviously, but that seemed kind of manageable this time around. The variables don't seem the same. Not only did Trump join with Israel in an attack that killed the Supreme Leader of Iran, but this is the second head of a country that he's responsible for taking out of power just this year.

[A]

Yeah, that's a pretty solid body count.

[B]

When he kidnapped Maduro, Alex was able to say that that's okay, cuz that was Trump reasserting the Monroe Doctrine.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

But that argument doesn't work here.

[A]

Nope.

[B]

There seems like no way to justify this turn of events. So let's tune in to Alex's Saturday emergency broadcast.

[A]

I'm. I'm interested to see how this one works. Cause I, I mean I remember how. Okay, like is it an assassination or is it a murder or. Cuz you're. Because you're not at war. Right. So. But I mean, you know, I don't know.

[B]

This killing of the Ayatollah.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

I don't even know what the nomenclature is.

[A]

Yeah. But I mean, here's what I would say right though is back in the day, kids, we used to have laws for even the fucking President where it would be like, you can't do that it's illegal. It's literally illegal for him to have done that. And so anybody who takes an order from him now is taking an illegal order.

[B]

Right.

[A]

But, you know, whatever.

[B]

Presidents would sometimes, sometimes do that. And then it would become like, okay, we are all now dealing with you as someone who is, you know, doing an illegal war.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

I. Man, it's. I don't know. I.

[A]

What you gonna do?

[B]

Look,

[A]

look, hey, I. I appreciate it. Like, okay, here's where we're at, though. This is the nice part, right? Republicans, you gotta come get your boy. You're gonna die, too. And listen, if we're all gonna die, I'm the one who's least at fault for this.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So you guys better come get your boy.

[B]

Yeah. And I think that there's something to be said for that because, like, okay, all you dumb shits have been yelling about how everyone has Trump Derangement syndrome.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Obviously, if we did everything that we've tried to do has not stopped us from getting to this point. Therefore, you are the only thing that can stop this. So do it or don't.

[A]

Good luck.

[B]

It's on.

[A]

You have fun.

[B]

Yeah. I was. I was shocked because, you know, news is coming in about all this, and then Ayatollah's maybe dead. And then confirmed Ayatollah's dead. Then working on this episode and putting things together, it's like, Hamadinajad is dead.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

This just is. I mean, there's a lot happening.

[A]

I mean, you know, it's. It's like the. The ninth episode of the. This season of the Wire. You know, we're in the. We're in the big action part. And then the next episode is going to be dealing with the fallout. That one's not going to be good.

[B]

So anyway, Alex. He called it.

[A]

Yep. I'm sorry, he did what?

[B]

He called it.

[C]

Okay. Well, I told you Friday. I said this weekend, the US And Israel are going to hit Iran. I could see all the sign signs. It wasn't just a negotiation tactic. It is 1:01 Central Standard Time PM, the last day of February, 2026. I am your host, Alex Jones, and we are here at the Alex Jones Network Studios in Austin, Texas. We have Brianna Morello coming in with the latest. She's also Pentagon correspondent here in studio with us in about 40 minutes. My son, Rex Jones, his analysis is going to be joining us as well. We're working on General Flynn, a lot of other people. But regardless, the Sunday show to the Infowars Studios is going to Be obviously very important.

[B]

How bad are things at Infowars? That Trump has launched a war against Iran and Alex is trying to tease that his son is going to come on and do analysis.

[A]

Not going great.

[B]

Flynn's a maybe, but I got my son.

[C]

I got my dipshit son.

[A]

Oh boy.

[B]

No one cares about. Also, his son does not show up so well.

[A]

I mean, a lot of guests were canceling out him.

[B]

Yeah, he got Brianna Morello does come, right? I wonder if Alex. It wasn't like Rex canceled on him. It was just like, I don't need to talk.

[A]

We're not going to need you. Rex. Rex, you can stay on the bench for this game. We don't need the. We don't need the cleanup.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

One minute, zero points, zero rebound, zero assists.

[B]

I think it's. It's fascinating though. Like you're not even trying.

[A]

Nope.

[B]

Where's Roger? You're getting your son. I mean, there's no one answering the phone.

[A]

It has to. I mean, is this the moment where it's like, fuck, Roger's the bad guy. Is this when Alex is like, hey, hey, hey, maybe I shouldn't talk to that guy anymore.

[B]

Right? I think Steve might still be alive. Get Pachenic.

[A]

God, get Pachenic in. Now is the time for Pachenic to return. Return like a hero.

[B]

Brianna Morello works for Alex.

[A]

Right?

[B]

So this isn't an impressive get.

[A]

No, there's.

[B]

I just think he's got no one. I think there's no bench, man.

[A]

You gotta get. You gotta get Pachenic back. There's no risk, there's no downside. Nothing can be done to you that hasn't already been done. Well, let Pechenic fucking cook, man.

[B]

I agree with you that he should, but I think it's too humbling. I think that Pachenic is the kind of guy who would rub it in.

[A]

No, Pageantic is the guy who would spend years rubbing.

[B]

Yeah. And that would be great for me.

[A]

Yeah, it would be fun for us, but probably not for him.

[B]

So anyway, this isn't America first. And Alex, it's very much not a little upset about that.

[C]

Look, everybody is debating this as. Are you for the mullahs or are you for regime change?

[A]

Wrong debate.

[C]

You have to look at all of this in the history of it. And the neocons in 911 saying they were going to regime change seven countries and use 911 as the pretext.

[A]

Fun.

[C]

And it wasn't just Wesley Clark releasing classified info. They said the project for the American Century a year before 9, 11, that they needed a big attack to be able to do this. And so I don't like the moolahs, I don't like their dictatorship, but this is not America First.

[B]

Okay, so Trump is evil, right?

[A]

I mean, what are the point. What is the point of words? What is the point of words and actions if when they line up, you still don't believe in them? Yeah.

[B]

I mean, Trump is Bush. Except that he lied to you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He conned you into thinking that's double Bush.

[A]

Yeah, that's a double Bush.

[B]

Yeah. So he's like Bush, but worse.

[A]

You got H and W'd. Mm.

[B]

Or maybe not, but who knows?

[A]

Who knows?

[B]

But look, it's bad. It's not America First, I'll tell you that much. Everyone's getting distracted by this argument of are you for the mullahs or not?

[A]

Great, man. I remember WikiLeaks. Remember everybody seeing that video of fucking Obama blowing up a wedding or whatever and everybody being all crazy about that. God, those were the days.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Remember when you were like, hey, you're a bad guy for doing that.

[B]

Hold on to that thought for a little bit later.

[A]

Shit.

[B]

So back in the day, you know, you had the Iraq war.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

And there were a group of mercenaries that were killing some people, you know, on behalf of the U.S. government.

[A]

Blackwater.

[B]

Right, right. And their owner, the guy who ran that company is Eric Aaron Prince.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He's a Trump guy, but even he says they shouldn't do this.

[C]

Founder of Blackwater, very successful, smart businessman. He's looked at the different ethnic and religious groups there. There's a very good chance this is going to be a civil war. We can be sucked into a new Vietnam, and that's if we're successful getting rid of the mullahs. So it's a real roll of the dice. But no one can deny that this is an extremely bold move by Trump.

[B]

Comedy villain, war profiteer says, don't go to war. Huh.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Strange, but also bold. I don't know if this is the adjective. Bold is a good adjective for a barbecue sauce.

[A]

I mean, I suppose, I suppose. Here's the thing. Right, right. Okay, so moolah's good, bad, blah, blah, blah. Should they be. Who gives a shit? Here's the debate for me, right? What. What do they want? What's the win here? For whom exactly? What is the. If at the end of this, they say, haha, we have won, what does that look like?

[B]

Now, I will say that the mercenary billionaire guy that I like now, who I made My career opposing. He's. He even says that this is a bad idea, but, man, Trump is tangy. He's. I mean, it's what balls on him. What?

[A]

I will say this, like, everybody who tried to kill Fidel Castro should kill themselves right now. Like, you guys suck. You guys suck so bad. You could have just shot him. You could have just blown him up. You could have just blown him up.

[B]

Well, I don't know. Was drone technology that good back then?

[A]

No, but I mean, they tried like fucking sneaking poison into a McDonald's cup a mile away and hoping it got to him. So just shoot him.

[B]

You know, I think back then the CIA was based on a lot of like Wile E. Coyote.

[A]

They were heavily.

[B]

It was the love of the game.

[A]

They did a shocking amount of LSD across the entire organization. They used to put it in their punch bowls at the Christmas party.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, it was. I don't think they had brute tactics as much as it's very clear that Trump is employing.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. They were more wacky races back then.

[B]

Yeah. So we know from listening to a lot of this dumb liar talk that he believes that God speaks to him by waking him up in the middle of the night and telling him what time it is.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Now, Alex is going to discuss in this next clip that he sensed that Trump was giving a speech at 2 in the morning. But mysteriously, he never says that God told him.

[C]

Ooh, but this is like Trump said in his 8 minute speech at 2 in the morning today at 2am and I literally woke up right at 2am I felt a disturbance in the force.

[A]

He had to be.

[C]

And boom. I mean, I literally woke up five minutes into it and I didn't immediately post for a few hours because I wanted to really think about it. What I was going to say and when I did say, then when I put out reports was, let's go to the beginning, the great game. The British Empire, the US picking it up, the destabilization programs, Israel continuing it. Israel founding Hamas. Israel putting Al Qaeda in charge of Syria. The CIA helping the mullahs get in charge of 79, using mullahs to try to overthrow the government, 53 in Operation Ajax and double crossing them, putting in the Shah. So it can look good to have regime change and claim, oh, we're getting rid of bad people. But the CIA and others put people in even worse because the globalists in Israel do not want any stable countries in that area. They want a balkanized, divided group that's admitted. So Trump is being Sold in the foreign policy of stability and peace, which he's done a great job in North Korea, and then maybe he's really gonna be able to carry this out. I don't know. But it is a bold gamble.

[B]

It's great to go back to the beginning and ramble about Operation Ajax and the Shah, but ultimately, at the end of all that ranting, what we're left with is Trump being on the same side as the one Alex desperately needs to paint as the villains here. Regime change war, particularly in the Middle east, is bad and a tool that the globalists use to cause destabilization and maintain control.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Alex can call Trump's actions bold all he wants and pretend that he's found some magical, neutral adjective to describe this, but at the bottom of the barrel, what we've got is a regime change war that Alex is not opposed to.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

I say this a lot, but this guy is a fucking worm. If you can look at this development and not call it what it is, then I struggle to figure out what your complaint with the Iraq war ever could have been.

[A]

Mm.

[B]

I guess Bush wasn't bold enough or what? Like, this just doesn't work.

[A]

I think this is. This is such a great example of the real reason that they were like, we don't want Iran to get the bomb, because if Iran has the bomb, you can't blow up the Ayatollah. You can't do it. That's. That's an interesting thing that we haven't talked about a lot with our foreign policy, is that we have not blown up anybody who has the bomb, and we've blown up a lot of people, if not everybody, who does it.

[B]

Well, and Alex says that Iran has it, and he repeatedly says, even on this episode, that they have nuclear weapons.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they do.

[A]

Now's the time, buddy.

[B]

They're slow playing.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

The other thing that I just find insane is that, like, okay, something magically happened and you had a sense in the middle of the night, great. Why aren't you saying that was God? You always say that shit is God.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where's God?

[A]

I think. I think what happened was Robert Duvall broke him. Because he didn't hear about Robert Duvall. He knew Gene Hackman was going, what about Reiner?

[B]

Did he hear about Rob Reiner?

[A]

I mean, none of us saw Reiner coming. That's a whole different thing. Who knows if God even had a hand in that one?

[B]

So I think, you know, a lot of Alex's career is built on this idea of being Opposed to regime change, wars, and particularly Iraq. Yeah, that's what we came up with.

[A]

Very expensive, waste of time, killed a lot of people, et cetera, et cetera.

[B]

And it's one of the few places where you can say like, well, he had a good point a lot of the time about that he was wrong about a lot of details. But in the bigger picture of like, we shouldn't have done that. Good.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

So anyway, now we're in another one.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And Iran has responded by hitting most of its neighbors that have been allied with the United States and Israel, blowing up apartment buildings, blowing up government bases, hitting military bases, US Military bases. We got a bunch of footage that have been effectively hit with huge explosions. You know, there's going to be casualties. When you see a U.S. air Force base and it just, boom, he's building, blows up. So when those numbers come out, the American people are going to have a big gut reaction and want to go to full war. Well, let me tell you, we're already at full war here. And when Trump told them in that speech this morning, rise up, this is the commitment we're going to, you know, regime change. This is it. And I want total surrender from the Iranian National Guard and you'll be given total amnesty or if you don't, you will be destroyed. When he said that, he, he clearly stated total commitment to regime change with Iran. Three times the size of Iraq, much bigger population, much more high tech weapons, and has an alliance with China, Russia and North Korea. And now the US has ordered everybody out of the Strait of Hormuz. No civilian ships going through there. So it's effectively already closed. The Iranians last year passed it in their parliament, just a rubber stamps to the ayatollahs to seal it if they were hitting a major attack. They're taking out their naval ships, they're taking off their shipyards, they're taking out their command and control, their air defense, their air bases, their missiles. I mean, this is massive. And it's going to go on, I would imagine, for a month or longer until the regime falls, which it may not. And even if it does, then it's a whole other quagmire.

[B]

So Trump's, he's got to go, right?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I mean, we're at, we're at the point where if you watched the movie Operation Valkyrie and you're like, I hope Hitler survives this one. You're probably having a rough day these days.

[B]

It's, this is, this is strange to hear without a level of. And so Trump must be arrested. He did this. He started this thing. Right.

[A]

How can you not off. There's no way. I mean, I, the idea of being a soldier now boggles my mind. Uh, because now we're at, We're. We have to acknowledge like a full brainwashed territory because if you are going to Iran or anything like that. Now, come on, buddy, you're crazy. You're out of your mind. You can just go like, nah, buddy, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm out. I'm out.

[B]

Yeah. I'm not sure the generational, like, gap between, like a major, major war is far enough.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like between Vietnam and Iraq, maybe there was enough of a time where people had forgotten what a raw deal they were given. Yep. And I don't think that people have forgotten that about Iraq yet.

[A]

Not yet.

[B]

Yeah. I don't. I don't know if recruitment's gonna be good.

[A]

It'll be interesting to like, really. I mean, you know, obviously a thousand years from now, it'll be really interesting to study the idea of a standing army becoming its own mercenary army. You know, like the idea of completely divorcing any patriotism from your military and making it purely an economic transaction. I pay you, you kill these people. Done and done.

[B]

Well, Erik Prince is out.

[A]

That's what I'm saying. Like, that is what. If you're, if you're going to try and do that now, that's what you have to turn the regular military into.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Interesting.

[B]

So Alex said that Trump gave that speech in the middle of the night. Sure. And he plays a little bit of it and I was fucking floored.

[C]

Okay, let's go to, let's go to a short clip of Trump and then I'm going to go to. I'll introduce. No, just go into Wesley Clark. This is over 15 years ago, talking about the plan for seven nation regime change using 9, 11. Let's play those back to back. Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government, it will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked for America's help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So let's see how you respond. Wow.

[B]

I mean, he stops just short of telling them to Storm Blackwater Prison. Like, that's Bane. He's just doing the Bain speech.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, here's the way I live, right? Which is if you. Then me, you know, like, if you can do this, then I can do this. If you can't do this, then I can't do this. Very simple. So what I'm saying is we need to take back the United States and overthrow the government, because this may be the only opportunity we have. All of his attention is focused on Iran right now. We need to blow up the whole fucking Capitol. Because that's okay. Now you can blow up a world leader, and that's demonstrably fine. You have to say it's fine. Legally, it is fine.

[B]

People of Iran. Too long, Harvey Dan.

[A]

Right? Right? What right?

[B]

I have taken out your ayatollah.

[A]

It is.

[B]

And now it is up to you.

[A]

If. If Iran blows up Trump's house and Trump dies, we all have to be like, yeah, man, it's tough out there. It's a rough world.

[B]

At most, it has to be seen as equivalent. Yeah, right.

[A]

Oh, absolutely.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

I'm stoked, honestly. Iran, blow him up. Everybody would be stoked.

[B]

Take back your cities.

[A]

You could give the same speech. We could have dueling Trump speeches from Iran being like, united States, do it.

[B]

I don't think that that's good, and I don't think that gets us anywhere good. But, like, how can you. When he's giving a speech, like, how can you act like there's any norm.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's any law.

[A]

Behaving rationally in the face of irrational is irrational. That is insane behavior.

[B]

And it's tacky.

[A]

Yeah, it is.

[B]

Just ripping off Bane.

[A]

It is.

[B]

Anyway, there were some mistakes made in these attacks. Sure. Like kids got killed.

[A]

Probably a bunch of kids.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, it's called Burger. Here we are. And Trump is committed now to this war. You know, here's a girl. Schools in Manob, they're saying that 80, 85 students were killed when Israel bombed the school.

[A]

I bet they care.

[C]

And again, this is going to enrage the world against Israel and the United States. I mean, Trump used the 1980s bombing that killed 200 plus servicemen as the reason we're doing this. Well, then what do they get to do because of this? You know, it's. It's. It. And. And again, I don't want the moolah, but even you, unfortunately, America first. We're not supposed to be running around doing this anymore, but here we are.

[B]

Here we are. Oh, well, all right. So Alex says that Israel attacked that school in Manob, but that's a cowardly way to report this. We did that. Trump did that. Well, I understand the desire for Alex to pretend like this is a situation where Israel committed the evil act and Trump's only crime is being naive and sticking to that alliance. But that's not what's happening happening. The death toll at that school is now around 150. And the United States shares blame for that.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

There's a tone that Alex is trying to strike where he's trying to assert his own identity as being separate from Trump's, even as he tries to minimize Trump's complicity in killing children. This is something that needs to be mocked and rejected for a couple of basic reasons. The first is that it's just dishonest. Alex has known who Trump is for at least most of the time that he's supported him. It was just easier to lie to the audience about his character early on in their run together. This is exactly the sort of outcome that people warned would come from Trump's foreign policies. And Alex has just pretended like the opposite was true and he doesn't deserve to be given any benefit of the doubt about that.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

The second is more important, and that it's that the honesty or dishonesty of Alex's current posture is irrelevant. And what we should understand is the dishonesty of the game he's played to get us to this point in an election between Trump and Kamala Harris. If you asked me which of them were possibly going to get us entangled in a war of Iran, I would tell you that both are possible and it seems more likely with Trump. But neither is that off the table.

[A]

Hey, the US Is crazy.

[B]

Same with the comparison of Trump and Biden or Trump and Hillary. In the absence of other viable candidates, I would choose any of these other people over Trump. But it would be insincere for me to pretend that any of them would be the solution to war power. I understand that all of those democratic possible presidents exist within the current foreign policy paradigm and answer to the forces and whims of capitalist interests. So I would hope that they would be as not bad as possible. But to imagine any of them spearheading a revolution that ended war and brought peace would be stupid. But this is how Alex sold Trump to his audience, and that's what we need to understand. Alex presented Trump as the outsider who wasn't beholden to foreign policy or profit motivations, like all the globalists of the past. Past he was not just a better choice as a politician. He was a revolution against politics as usual. And here we are at a point where that's both undeniably true and undeniably false. It's true that this is not politics as usual, but it's false that it's any different in a meaningful way from the worst parts of the system that already existed. Because Trump is acting this way, it invalidates not only Alex's version of Trump individually, but it also invalidates Alex's supposed ability to tell the difference between a truly revolutionary figure and a fraud. Trump has been revealed to be literally everything Alex is supposed to be against. But because he's so pot committed to supporting Trump as something different from the neocons of the past, Alex can't even address this attack as it is. He has to call it bold and try to eat around the edges, because to do anything else would require him to admit that he's been wrong for a decade. And not only that he was wrong about something that God told him he was right about. This is such a vulnerable position for him to be in that he can't even do shit.

[A]

That's. I see. This is the thing. This is classic Satan. This is classic Satan shit, right? Like we're watching what Satan is supposed to be doing. He's, like, killing it with this guy, making up all kinds of shit, getting him to believe anything, then putting him into a situation where he's so handcuffed by his own bullshit that he's trapped into being the oppos of what he's always dreamt of being. That's devil. That's the devil.

[B]

Yeah. It's hard to argue. Hard to argue. And it's just ludicrous. It's. There's. There's no other way to put it then, like, Alex needs to be, like, so against this, and he. All he can muster up is, it's bold. Let's see what happens.

[A]

I mean, I'm crazy. I think what I like most about us being here is that we are here because no one had any courage 10 years ago. You know, we are here because they're further. Well, for sure, for sure. But the courage you would have needed to be like, hey, we all know where it's going with this Trump guy. Let's actually finish this off. Let's get this out of here. The election was bullshit. Roger Stone is going to stay in prison for the rest of his life, like, all of that shit. And because of that, we are here.

[B]

Yeah, there are simpler and less brave Decisions that could have been made long ago. And yeah, there's a crisis of. Of shit that happened then.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

That what you gonna do. So Alex, he just gets caught up thinking about how right he always is and how people are mean to him.

[A]

In what fashion?

[B]

In every way.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I mean, I had John Curiakou, former CIA section chief, you know, counterterrorism head, you name it. And he was just like, wow, this is incredible. You know every angle of this, you know, unlike all the other talk shows he talks to, he was like, absolutely right. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. He'd been stationed all in the Middle east for decades. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. So see, I call balls and strikes. You don't make something up about somebody because you don't like them.

[B]

You

[C]

report the facts that are there so people can navigate who the factions are and who they are. Like the average person that think. The average right winger that only hates Israel and only knows about Israel, didn't know about China, didn't know about any other blocks of power, they'll say, let's ally with the Muslims. They're anti Israel. I'm like, do you even know the blocks of the Muslims? Do you even know what their plans are? You know what the Muslim brother is? It is. You know what the Shiites are? You know who the reformists are, the UAE and now Saudi Arabia. I mean, don't you. Don't you know what an Arabist is? No, you don't know that stuff. You don't know what the Levon affair was. You don't know all this stuff. And I'm not trying to be mean to you. It's just holy. Like you guys out there, the right wing, pro Israel, fake right wing calling me a Qatari agent. You guys are idiots. The people claiming I'm an Israeli agent. Horseshit. The whole right wing and left wing Jewish lobby is the ones helping sue me. You're getting the real info. Who else told you Iran would say they had nukes when they got hit? Have the archives find it. I bet I said it 10 times last week. Week. And if what I said happened today, I'm just telling you for our own future. People better start listening to me. I don't want to sit it up and explain how right I am every day to people. It's self evident and that's why people tune in. But I care about all of you, you stupid, fake Christian, Zionist right wing, fake dumbasses.

[A]

Is it their fault?

[C]

And. And then all the crazy Nazis that don't know any facts and have low IQs and just want to say everybody works for Israel and they don't.

[A]

Hmm. Well, I think everybody cares about you, Israel.

[B]

I care about you, man. You have a bad audience. You have cultivated a bad audience by chasing Twitter attention compulsively. It's, it's. You have no one to blame but yourself that you're screaming at these Nazis that you've tried to appeal to.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Like, yes. They're all like, the two sides of your audience are narrow in their focus. Yes. Because your show sucks.

[A]

You know, one way of, one way of thinking about complaining. Right. Is that people complain about things that intersect with their lives regularly. So you may complain about somebody whom you love, but by virtue of complaining about them, they are part of your life. They are meaningful, and they're worth being part of your life if all you are complaining about is Nazis. Take a think about that.

[B]

Right?

[A]

You know? Right. Take a think.

[B]

I will complain about Survivor till the day I die. And I recognize that that means there's a part of me that likes it even though it's bad. There you go, Alex. You like these Nazis.

[A]

You like the Nazis. You can't stop it.

[B]

So how about that Constitution?

[A]

What about it?

[B]

You ever think about it?

[A]

Not anymore.

[B]

Yeah, I guess it's not that important anymore.

[C]

So let's go to Trump briefly, because just want to get it on record. You'll watch the whole eight minute. But he's like, capitulator, you're all dead.

[A]

This is totally a thing you should say.

[C]

And, and, and, and this violates not just international law, because screw globalist law. This violates the Constitution. Where is the war powers? This is not war declared. When you say we're hitting you first. We claim you've got this just like Iraq, which they do in this case. You're like, well, that's pro war. Then just report the.

[D]

That fact.

[C]

When you do that, you gotta have congressional authorization.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Notice they're having their vote next week on the war powers. I said, watch trouble hit them before that. So legally this is unconstitutional. And you're like, well, then you're for the moolahs. No, I'm for. The rule of law is we have a constitution or we don't. And I'm sorry, the real world's complex and gives you a headache. It gives me one too.

[B]

Cool. So Alex has said just very clearly that Trump is violating the Constitution and he's launched an illegal war now because he knew that Congress was gonna vote to limit his war powers later.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

At which point it might not be able to act on the desire unilaterally to make war.

[A]

What you gonna do?

[B]

It's good to have that on record.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

But you notice the way that Alex shifts the conversation at the end there. It's a subtle rhetorical trick he uses to evade the conclusions of his arguments, where he says that Trump has violated the Constitution. And then the imaginary response he to that is, oh, so you support the Mullers. The actual response to him openly acknowledging that Trump has violated the Constitution in order to launch an illegal war is, so now Trump has to be arrested. Right.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Based on everything Alex has advocated for and believes. The next thought after this indictment of Trump is that he must be deposed. He's an enemy of the Constitution, and the Constitution is the only thing that guarantees any of our rights. So he has to go.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

But Alex can't turn on Trump. He's trapped in a place where he can't go against Trump. But he also can't possibly get on his show and pretend that attacking Iran and killing the Ayatollah isn't a brazenly illegal international incident.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

He would look like the most dishonest and incoherent idiot if he tried to justify the attack on its merits. But he's also gonna look like a dishonest and incoherent idiot if he allows the argument he needs to make against the war to play out to its natural conclusion. So the strategy here is just to hijack your own argument by imagining you're debating an idiot. No one cares if Alex supports or doesn't support the mullahs, particularly in the context of him discussing Trump clearly violating the Constitution. Sure. Alex making that the imagined rebuttal here only serves to get him off the hook for needing to at very least call for Trump's impeachment and at most possibly denounce his fantasies about God and retire from public life because he has brought us to this.

[A]

Yep. Yep.

[B]

Alex was a critical piece of a media infrastructure that brought us to this point.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And he needs to take responsibility for that if he wants to make these kinds of arguments.

[A]

Now, I have an interesting question. All right. The World cup is happening here.

[B]

Maybe. Not.

[C]

Not.

[A]

Does this count. Does that count as sports washing? You know what I mean? If you. If everybody who is really enjoyed talking shit about Saudi Arabia has to acknowledge that we're the sports washers of all sports washers, then do they have to shut the fuck up?

[B]

Finally? Oh, man. I. Yeah, it's a. It's a. That's a tough call, right? Tough. That's a tough.

[A]

I just, I just think that realistically now I would like more people to shut the fuck up. Like, what's the point of a news show if it's not going? Like, oh well, when you break the Constitution, you gotta, you gotta go. That's the most law. Right.

[B]

It's supposed to be.

[A]

It's the most law. There are other laws, but that one's the most.

[B]

And the thing about it is it's self defining, you know, like if somebody is doing things that you are calling unconstitutional, then they are disqualified immediately.

[A]

Done.

[B]

From holding a position that is about the Constitution.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

So you can't have a situation where Alex is saying that this is a flagrantly unconstitutional illegal war that Trump has launched and have any piece of. He deserves to stay in power.

[A]

You bet.

[B]

And that's what he's trying to do.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

He's trying to navigate that. And it's just, it's, it's. You can't.

[A]

You know, I would say, I would say the same thing is true for people who are like, well, this has happened and now we're gonna go talk about Trump's tariffs at 4 or when it's also unconstitutional. Right, Exactly. Like, at this point, I don't care. Unless we're going, we're going to do the stuff. Right. Like, what's the point of telling me about what he's doing unless it's also. And now we're going to go do the stuff.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Right.

[B]

If the Constitution has to matter. Or it doesn't.

[A]

Or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, that's also like, you just got to let me know.

[B]

That's. And it's a terrifying prospect if you all are saying that it doesn't. Because if it doesn't, a lot of people have a lot of rights that are unprotected.

[A]

Yep. And I mean, but at the same time, you know, they were, they were only theoretically protected if they can be unprotected this quick with no action.

[B]

True, right. It's true.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I think that Alex recognizes that like, ah, shit. There's no way to say that this isn't a violation of the Constitution. I think I gotta start softening up to J.D. vance.

[C]

It's a little funnier. It's gonna save us folks on the web and put out another amazing little piece. It's a, it's a trailer for a classic 1980s football movie with that people now actually want to crowdfund and actually put out and for the. For cnn, we know this is AI. This isn't real. Okay. This is a joke. But this is J.D. vance, the football star.

[B]

So it's a. It's a AI video that's way too long of J.D. vance being a football player. And Nicholas Cage is his history teacher.

[A]

All right.

[B]

And Sydney Sweeney is the hot girl that he wants to go out with.

[A]

All right.

[B]

And Alex is his coach.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's about. About him succeeding. And so I think that they're like how a big part of selling Trump to everybody was this dumb meme shit.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And I think. Think you can feel Alex almost being like, oh, this is my work. Maybe. Maybe we'll.

[A]

It's definitely more fun into a lovable

[B]

oaf of some sort.

[A]

Right.

[B]

It's a little transparent.

[A]

It is. That is probably the most dystopian thing I've ever had described to me before. Just like Alex being stoked about an AI created video that is designed to make what you want or what you have described to me as a desirable thing for people. And then we all just live in this world.

[B]

And I have to say this.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Whoever made it, I can't tell if it's a great sense of humor or a sign of being a total idiot. Yeah. But the characters who are in it are Sydney Sweeney, who's a big movie star.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Nicolas Cage, who's a huge movie star. Terry Crews appears as a janitor.

[A]

Pretty solid, but it's brief. He's had a good career.

[B]

And then Alex.

[A]

Oof.

[B]

It's quite a jump of like celebrities. And then crazy idiot.

[A]

That's one of the great drop offs in total quality of output I think I've ever seen.

[B]

Nicolas Cage has won an Oscar.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

He was also in knowing.

[A]

Absolutely the greatest. Oh. 911-200-1.

[B]

Really perfect reveal.

[A]

Perfect reveal.

[B]

So, yeah, anyway, I guess we're gonna see him soften to Vance.

[A]

Great. So Vance won't do anything unconstitutional. That's the problem.

[B]

He's good.

[A]

He's too good.

[B]

Also, Alex doesn't bring it up, but remember he was talking about how Trump doesn't do those masturbatory photo shoots. Sure of himself in the Situation Room.

[A]

He doesn't.

[B]

He did a lot.

[A]

Oh, well, Obama was famous for that. So he's probably just doing like a thing about Obama.

[B]

Yeah, probably.

[A]

It was like an ironic.

[B]

Yeah, much like that AI video ironic.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

So Alex's son cancels or got bumped. I'm not sure. But Brianna Morello comes in.

[A]

All right.

[B]

And she hosts the former Harrison Smith show. Now that Owen's gone and Harrison has moved to the B slot.

[C]

All right.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And she sucks.

[A]

I believe that.

[B]

But now that we're committed, now that

[C]

the barn doors open, the quicker the better. Because this is dangerous as hell.

[D]

Yeah, you gotta get in there and gotta make it quick and then get out as quickly as possible. But they've been good at that. They proved that with Venezuela, that they're capable of doing just that.

[C]

But here's the problem with communists. They're just programmed to get money and like to be bullies with the Muslims. And the analysts believe, and I agree with them, that the Republican Guard that then controls Hezbollah and actually runs everything, they're more hardcore than the mullahs. So you decapitate the mullahs. That's why Trump's telling their guard, you give up, you'll be destroyed. If not, we'll give you total amnesty.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

So it all hinges on those guys.

[D]

Yeah. No, it does, it does. And we'll have to just wait and see how that all plays out. But again, I mean, the President's looking to keep this going for a couple more weeks, too. It looks like it sounded like he had, like a long term.

[C]

Well, I mean, it's gonna go. It's full commitment. I mean, this is Vietnam.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I think we'll be in five years if they don't fall. I mean, that's what I'm great. Let me tell you, even if Trump was taken out of office with him, once the US Commits to something that it's all our credibility's on the line. It's like Russia with Ukraine. They're not going to give up. We are. We are.

[A]

They're going to give up.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. No, we are officially in it. And, you know, I know members of Congress, both on the left and the right, are very fired up about this because they didn't have congressional approval.

[C]

Yeah. Notice that we're going to have the vote next week on war powers. Too late.

[D]

Too late. I think it's probably why you activated this pretty quickly, though, it looks like. And again, I mean, the President was at Mar A Lago yesterday, having an event, doing meet and greets with folks until about 11pm yesterday. I mean, James O' Keefe also posted on X that he had a brief conversation with the President at Mar a Lago yesterday before all this went down. So this guy's got so much energy and he's been gearing up for this for quite some time.

[B]

It looks like you'll see pretty positive about this. Honestly, I feel the vibe is not negative. Even though Alex said this is flagrantly unconstitutional.

[A]

I mean, the moment you say this is Vietnam, the conversation should go. And that's why this is a bad idea. It's terrible. It's awful. It's not going to help anybody. It's horrible. It's just going to be murder.

[B]

It's going to be. Unfortunately, we have not learned any lessons.

[A]

Nope. None. Not one. Not fucking one.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

That is

[C]

so.

[B]

I think that you see pretty quick a acceptance of this is happening, so we better do it hard. And that's not good.

[A]

I genuinely believe that Trump should be allowed to. I don't, I don't like any of the moves that he's made, but based on what he's done, he should get to. She should get to pants. Every congressperson, he should get to drop their pants, and then everybody should see their genitalia on tv.

[B]

I forgot to mention, that was the second half of the State of the Union.

[A]

Okay, good, because that one's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because if, if I was ever so ineffectual and pointless as Congress is right now, I would, I would have to leave the country.

[B]

Ted Cruz got his pants, right?

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

And he had antsy pants on underneath.

[A]

Hilarious.

[B]

Remember, they should all made those, those, those underwear. He made gag underwear.

[A]

That's right. Very Coldwater did make underwear.

[B]

And that's what Ted Cruz is trying to reference.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah. This is all bad.

[A]

I'm a senator. Yeah, sure you are, bud. Sure you are. Oh, isn't that cute?

[B]

Cute, yeah. So Alex worries here a little bit that Trump might be overconfident.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Like a Hitler kind of guy.

[D]

Well, it's been quite impressive to see thus far though, I have to say. And you know, obviously we're not rooting for, for a war. We're not rooting for regime change. But if we're rooting for war, we're already knee deep in this.

[C]

No, I get it. It's like the Martians are attacked. They're more advanced than us. I get we're way more advanced.

[A]

Except for we attacked the Martians and killed their leader.

[C]

I'm not comparing this to Hitler, but military wise, Hitler won the first. First, you know, Czechoslovakia, Poland and then, and then, and then France, and then he got overconfident. And I'm a little worried about that.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Because then, remember, waiting the wings is China and Russia. So that's my concern here.

[B]

Interesting. That that's, you know, where your mind goes.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, we gotta really amend a lot of movies from the United States perspective, where we're all more like, you need to be more empathetic towards the Nazis. They had a really rough goal, so sure, they were following illegal orders, but let's face it, we'll all do that. We're all basically useless pieces of shit. So that's what happens,

[B]

You know? I mean, I think Hitler was overconfident.

[A]

Yep. I think that was probably at least one of his top five problems.

[B]

This conversation that they're having is just. It's ludicrous.

[A]

It's wild how quickly that happened.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

It's wild how quickly. Like, well, now that we're in it, we got to stick with it. It was.

[B]

Today we're knee deep in Vietnam, and so we must commit to it.

[A]

All right, what here's.

[B]

That's not Alex. That's not infowars. It's not what they're supposed to be.

[A]

Right. Here's another plan that is equally as reasonable. All right? We get a giant circus cannon, we put Trump into it, and we aim it at Iran. And if he gets there, they can handle it. And if he doesn't, they know we've taken care of the problem.

[B]

I mean, I think that 2026 requires innovative solutions. I think so Creative problem solving. You know, there are options that in the past would have looked impossible.

[A]

Right. Absolutely.

[B]

Gonna solve anything.

[A]

Absurd. Yes, absurd. How could you say that, you clown?

[B]

Right. Anyway, Brianna Morello sucks.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I think that she is advocating for basically rounding up Muslims, maybe.

[A]

Great.

[D]

Now, again, just to kind of like

[A]

walk through in the United States, too, right? Oh, of course.

[D]

Coming out and saying that we are, in fact, keeping our eye out for any sleeper cells that might actually start popping up. But I don't think they actually have a real handle on this number at this point. A lot of these individuals, according to sources I've spoken to do hideout and a lot of these Muslim compounds that are popping up all across the state of Texas, but more specifically these Muslims mosques, because they deem that they are actually immune, thanks to the Constitution, to kind of being surveilled. So that's been a big one, is where are these people? They think that these ICE raids and these raids that are taking place all across the country will not be carried through at mosques if they're hiding in a place of worship. It's up to the American people, though, to start. If Islam is even a religion, I would argue. No, it's not. And so I think it should apply to them. I think our federal Government should be rating these mosquitoes mosques.

[A]

Okay, so we got to Japanese internment camp at record speed. This has been a day for these folks.

[B]

Yeah. Islam isn't a religion.

[A]

Nope, dude.

[B]

I mean, like, one of the things that I was listening to when or when I was thinking when I was listening to this is like, I wish I knew how old Brianna Morello is, because I have no idea. I've seen her, but I have no idea how old she is.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I would forgive this of somebody who's like, like 23 and younger maybe. But if anybody was of any adult age during the Iraq war.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

And during that, like, early mid-2000s period, you are just doing the same thing. You're just doing the same fucking washed over Islamophobic shit that you're supposed to understand was part of a propaganda campaign to demonize a population.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

You have to be so young for me to look past you saying stuff like this.

[A]

It is. It is. Like, okay, fine. Then just say that you want to slaughter some people and today it's Muslims, and then tomorrow it'll be this type of brown person. You just want to slaughter people.

[B]

Out groups, you get to determine what they are, and they don't have rights.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Great.

[A]

Yep. Thank you.

[B]

So look, it's just. It feels like we're 20 years in the past.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

They do quite have a nice facility, a nice little area that they've been able to build up over these last few years. In fact, if you drive through Epic in Plano, you'll notice that their street signs are all actually named after Islamic conquerors. And that's not a coincidence, folks. These people came here with the goal of conquering the West, Fucking conquering the United States. Now they've weaponized our constitution against the American people. And that's the thing that we need to be pushing back on again. We need to continue to go out there and say that we're not going to allow this to happen. We're not going to sit there and allow them to pretend like they are a religion of peace, a religion at all. They have done their very best to build up here in the homeland Nazi of what they have next for us.

[B]

So when she says epic, that's in reference to East Plano Islamic Center. Sure. I think it's shocking the way that, you know, we listen to this and it feels exactly like 20 years ago.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And we listened to 20 years ago episodes and it feels like it's pointing a finger at the present. Yep. I don't like that.

[A]

I Mean

[B]

it.

[A]

It does. Goes to show you just how right they were about 911 being a perfect opportunity to do what they wanted to do anyways. It's like because we were all so fucking hit by that, we weren't really capable or prepared to do anything but have some sort of like patriotic feeling even whenever they're lying us into a war. Because there's still like that. Yeah. It's all of us together. Right, Right. And this is.

[B]

We have to process in some way.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

And that process is being directed slightly.

[A]

And even then you can feel empathy for the people who are making the clearly wrong decision because it's like, well, fuck, shit got blown up in your place. I get it. Right. But man, now without, without that 911 with just Bush lying us into a blow up the Iran war.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Fucking him.

[B]

It.

[A]

Fuck them.

[B]

It feels insane.

[A]

Fuck them and fuck the US and fuck Congress and fuck the fuck all of you.

[C]

I'm out.

[A]

That's what everybody should be saying, like, no, no, no, we've done this before. I'm out. I'm out.

[B]

We've done it too recently.

[A]

Too recently. I was still alive.

[B]

Yeah. So Alex gets to explaining how like this is the war at the end of the cycle.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

And great. Good for you, man.

[C]

We're at the end of a global order. The financial system was designed to be a fraud and collapse into a new world order. Great. Reset to make us all poor social credit score. But China 1670 years ago, double double crossed. The globalist broke away from their plan, kind of stole their plan. They weren't supposed to expand militarily, just control economics and have middlemen with the globalist. The west, NATO, the US were still supposed to control the military. That was the balance of power. China double crossed. We had the China pivot. It wasn't real under Obama. Trump never got it going. It was Flynn's first one. That's what happened happened then. We started it now. And so the globalist system began to fall with that. Then populist movements woke up to it. We helped do that. Exposed the tyranny of the unelected EU and the rest of it. And so that old system is dying. And into this vacuum now comes this new system. And Trump is coming into the vacuum, exerting American power over our hemisphere against our enemies. Sure. Israel has its policies. Sure. And its reasons for doing all of this. But at the end of the day, I know Trump is doing the best he can. He believes he's doing the right thing. There's so many dangers. I wouldn't have done this. But I do see where that's coming from. And I do understand the bigger picture, that when we say that there's a great danger, there is a great danger, because the old economic system's in free fall. The globals were gonna cut off the energy and make us poor to control, as Trump's trying to turn the economy back on like defibrillators when somebody has a heart attack. And so when you have that, historically, all these different governments and power blocks, they go to war.

[B]

That's a fun story that Alex is telling. And I don't particularly care to bicker about these ideas because the larger point should be, who cares?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Alex's point should be, who cares? None of this means anything. Or conversely, nothing he said before does. He's already said on this episode that Trump has launched an illegal war that violates the Constitution. Now he's trying to explain away why that's okay. And I don't particularly care about that justification.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Either the Constitution matters or something else matters more. And for 30 years, he's been yelling about how the Constitution is the most important holy document that humans have ever created. The Bible might be more important, but that was divine in origin. So the Constitution, that's as good as we're gonna get.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

The Constitution isn't a fair weather document. Document. It's not a set of rules the leader has to follow, except when they think something's more important than they gotta do. According to Alex's belief system, a leader must follow the Constitution or else their leadership is illegitimate. You don't get to say, I know this violates the Constitution, but I need to violate the Constitution or else the economy will be hurt. If you ever accept that as a compelling argument, then rights don't exist. Or at least they don't when they're in conflict with the economy. If you believe in the Constitution, then a leader cannot set aside the Constitution for the country's own good. Conversely, if you believe that a leader can violate the Constitution for the country's own good, then you don't get to pretend you care about the Constitution. The zealotry of Alex's patriotism and originalist bullshit from early in his career is strongly at odds with the character that he needs to play now. And that's because the stuff in the past was a fraud.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Doesn't matter.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

This means anything.

[A]

Nope.

[B]

Power.

[A]

No, I mean, it is. It is. Like the. The idea of the Constitution is supposed to be just consequences. You do can't do Right. And so that that idea of, okay, I want to violate the Constitution because if I don't, then the economy will go down. The Constitution says the consequences for you doing a bad job. Job is the economy is hurt. You shouldn't have sucked so bad. The Constitution isn't here to, like, help you not suck.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

But on the other hand, it's a real old document. It's like, so old.

[B]

So old.

[A]

So old. And we've already amended it to make people drink and then make people not drink and then make people drink again.

[B]

In fairness, they never made a people drink. It wasn't like the amendment said.

[A]

Was that not enough? Well, okay. Fair enough.

[B]

Enough.

[A]

I may have. I may have gotten that one wrong.

[B]

I think that, like, okay, so we imagine the Constitution is like, rules.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And in reality, they're like wrestling referees.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where it's like, everyone knows you can just sort of. If the referee falls down, if the

[A]

Supreme Court is looking the other direction, oh, no, he's cheating. But the Supreme Court didn't see it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No.

[B]

What you going to do anyway? This is going to get Trump some big old props, I bet, from other authoritarian rules.

[C]

Well, the Shiites, you know, even if Iran doesn't order them to attack, I think you're gonna see Shiites attack.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's.

[C]

I mean, I think. I mean, I would be surprised if by tonight we don't see some shootings or bombings. I hope that doesn't happen.

[D]

But I. I would assume an immediate response. I mean, they just killed their Supreme Leader. If that report is true, then, yeah. I mean, I can't see a situation where they would not want to come out swinging at us. And so that would be probably what's happening. I mean, they brought them here for a reason, Alex. They didn't bring them here just so they could find a nice place to live. They. They brought them here for this pur. So if there's no response here, that wouldn't make any sense to me.

[C]

Well, one dimensionally, I don't like the mullahs. They're unpopular. They're evil. They want to kill us all. That one dimensionally, I'd be glad if they left it all worked out. But the reason the chairman of the Joint Chief said, I'll do it if you say it, but I'm against it. The reason the founder of head of Announcement are new names but Blackwater is like, don't do it is because. Because there's so many unknowns. It's a roll of a dice. But I'LL tell you, this will get Trump major respect with China and Russia and others that he did this, which I'm not endorsing. I'm just looking at every angle of this. This is real. I don't give a fuck. Stuff from Trump. And in a way it stabilizes things and also in a way it destabilizes things. Only time will tell. But this is historic. I mean, this is a big deal. Cool.

[B]

If Biden attacked Iran and killed the Ayatollah, would Alex be saying that we have to see how this plays out and rambling about how the attack brought Biden a bunch of respect with Russia and China?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

To be clear, I don't say that to point out hypocrisy. I just want to illustrate a point that's behind all of the times where someone like Alex appears to be hypocritical. They're playing a rhetorical game that's difficult to not get sucked into if you're a sincere person. Because they are weaponizing sincerity when they're attacking someone. Principle is the only thing that matters. How could Obama or Biden dare even consider violating the precious Constitution? Even if I support the end goal of everything they claim to be doing, the way they're going about it is wrong. And because of that, they need to be impeached and maybe killed. On the flip side, when the mission is to protect the power that they associate with, principle no longer matters. And you're a fool for not seeing the bigger picture picture. Rules are meant to be broken. Sometimes you have to break the letter of the law in order to uphold the spirit of the law. There's dangers. It's not hypocrisy. Because in both instances, the person in Alex's position doesn't give a shit about the thing they're attacking or defending. The arguments are kind of just a distraction from the point, which is that Alex views power as a zero sum game and he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep as much of it on the side that he feels protects his interests. And that's. That's what's more important behind the hypocrisy.

[A]

Yep. Yeah. I mean, it's so interesting to me that I can't imagine of the. A more 25th amendment scenario could not exist then. Crazy 80 year old man defies constitution and blows up leader of other nations.

[B]

Other 80 year old man. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, right, like that is. That is the definition of maybe. Maybe we're all crazy. We're all crazy.

[B]

It is. It is.

[A]

In a Lot of ways our fault that the human race has gotten to here, you know, so maybe we're all just nuts.

[B]

I mean, who knows? I mean, we've been recording for like, you know, a little over an hour. Maybe it has happened. The 25th has been. Who knows?

[A]

Who knows?

[B]

I don't put anything past anybody anymore.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So you. If you were to guess based on like his career.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

What would you think? What's Alex's position on regime change?

[C]

Change?

[A]

Well, I mean, I assume that if the regime is. God damn it, we all know.

[B]

I think that actually he sums it up fairly well.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Which is.

[A]

Meh.

[C]

Well, because the moodles are so unpopular, reportedly Israel has over 100,000 spies in Iran.

[D]

That's impressive.

[C]

Yeah. Officially on the payroll.

[A]

That's just, that's just a. SO group.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, I think that's the issue here, is that they're so infiltrated that, I mean, I. I mean, I hope now that it's happened, people say, oh, you were for regime change. No, now that we've. Now that it's done. Yeah, I, I don't want to do Vietnam. Yeah. Now I want them out.

[D]

Yeah. Well, you can't back out of this right now. Like, we're all in.

[A]

Why not? We can totally back out of it. Back out. Back out right now.

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

This isn't a sincere position. You can't be principally opposed to regime change until a tyrannical leader you support launches an illegal war and then say, oh, we hope for the best.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

This is just a coward's gamble where Alex can't denounce Trump for violating the Constitution and he's too scared to just admit that he wants Trump to conquer the world to make it safe to be white again, make him feel like, oh, no one's gonna hurt me. Yep. It's pathetic. And these, these people, they should be ashamed.

[A]

Like, so, okay, here's the other thing, right? Imagine you're an 80 year old woman in Iraq, Iran. Right. You grew up with the U. S. Backed shah, spending everybody's money on military equipment they were never going to use. Then you overthrew that, all mad at the United States. You got stuck with the theocracy. That was a real bummer for a long time. But all throughout all of this stuff, it's been kind of a push and pull. And then finally the United States does it. Like, why not go bug fuck? Like just go absolutely ape shit insane. Because there's no way that you can then, like, at the end of this be like, okay, now we're friends with Israel.

[B]

Well, at the right, you know, you. You can take control of your city.

[A]

Right?

[B]

You know, you could.

[A]

But even then, that taking control of my city also includes going bug fucking

[B]

sane on the U.S. yeah, I don't, I don't. When I hear, When I hear something like Trump say, you know, like, hey, take control of the government. This is your one opportunity, or the whatever. Like, I don't hear that and think, oh, a actual government that isn't in line with US Interests will be totally tolerated here. You know, like, it's such a comical and stupid thing that I don't. I don't know what I would do if I was in that hypothetical woman's position that you're describing. But I wouldn't think in any way that this is a turn towards a more representative government. Government or some sign of progress. This is. This is. There's a lot of death.

[A]

There's. There's no other way to see this than the United States and Israel at the end of this, if they win, own all of Iran, period. Like, it's all theirs. Or a lot of people have gotten rich and a lot of people have died, and then we're right back at square one.

[B]

So the unfortunate thing is, no matter what the uk, they won't say anything, anything about this.

[A]

I bet they'll say something like, hey, you shouldn't have.

[B]

They're too scared.

[A]

Well, fair enough.

[D]

I think it's interesting to watch the UK government kind of respond to all of this, too. They don't want any say in it. But you know why that's the case? Because they've been outnumbered over in the uk. I mean, they brought in so many Muslims and their people are unarmed that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves. Here in Texas, though, if these people tried to mess with us, we'd be able to handle our own.

[C]

Exactly. The Second Amendment, God bless it. Notice even the communist German leader Mears is like, no, Iran, you need to. You need to stand up, down. And the Muslim countries are lining up against Iran. It does look like they're about to be toppled. I wonder how fast it's going to happen. I mean, I don't want to count our chickens for their hatch here.

[B]

Counting our chickens before they hatch is an interesting expression to use to describe the results of an illegal war you're pretending to be against. But, oh, well, what you going to do? Incidentally, on Sunday, France, Britain, and Germany all announced that they'll support the United States and allies in the region against Iran I guess Brianna's dumb shit about the UK being too scared to do anything is just kind of her projecting her own racism onto the world.

[A]

Huh?

[B]

Oh, there's too many Muslims there,

[A]

You know, you can just say shit. You can just say shit now. She is absolutely out of her mind. Like, this is. This is a person who's not expressing some sort of global situation. She is like, if I see a Muslim person on the street, I am afraid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, this is a person who is really fucking. Yeah.

[B]

I. The extent to which she seems, like, quite fucked up.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It makes me feel bad that her show was so low quality that I just didn't even really listen to it much after the switch up with Harrison.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Maybe it deserves another look.

[A]

Maybe we'll find some real insane shit in there.

[B]

It was. It was pretty unwatchable even to try and dig out. Whatever. These opinions are brutal. So anyway, the globalist or order, it's over. Globalists are done.

[C]

Well, the whole globalist order is over. I know that the old system's gone. The question is, what is the new system that's gonna get built?

[D]

Yeah, well, we'll have to see what that looks like. I think a lot of people are gonna fear President Trump, though, if this does actually happen. If this did actually happen, they're gonna be very fearful of this. This man who goes around and he's taking out leaders that are obviously against the American agenda and looking to cause us harm. But again, we're not sitting here taking this on. I will. I think this is way too risky. And for the American people on the homeland, our friends, if the globalist order

[B]

is truly over, then Alex's argument about what it'll be replaced with has already been answered. Trump has launched an illegal war in violation of the Constitution. That's what's gonna replace the old order.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Unchecked elitist, oligarchical power masquerading as government.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

That is it. And you support it?

[A]

Yep.

[B]

To Brianna's point that she's trying to make. Make you do support this. You love every bit of it. And the dead giveaway is that your complaint is that attacking Iran is too risky. It's a cost benefit analysis of whether it's worth it for Trump to kill world leaders unilaterally. Not a matter of whether or not it's right for us to behave like this on the world stage. I can't stress this enough. She works for Infowars. It's not like this is an outlet that has a nuanced and complicated discussion about political figures and trends. It's an embarrassing network in decline that does the bidding of the current dominant power structure. But it's also an outlet that made a name for itself by opposing the Iraq war and Bush. If Alex had never done that, his bullshit would have been lost in the dustbin of history, as every listener who wasn't a right wing extremist or crypto racist wouldn't give him the time of day.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Back then, if you wanted conspiracy silliness coast to coast, AM did it better. If you wanted right wing talk radio, Rush and Hannity did that better.

[C]

Better.

[B]

Alex only ever had the slightest place in the market because he combined those two with a coat of paint over the top of not liking Bush. That confused people and let conspiracy minded folks who were on the center or in the left think that maybe Alex wasn't one of the bad ones. It doesn't matter if Alex or his employees support the attack on Iran. Any position other than hostile opposition to it is a betrayal of what this network means. And that's functionally support for the attack, for regime change, and for a worldwide Trump empire. And that's all that matters.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Cares about, like, pretending that, oh, you say I support the mullahs. No, I don't give a shit. You're betraying yourself.

[A]

Yeah, I, you know, I, I'm trying to think about the, the logic of, like, all right, so crazy man blew up a country. Now that that's done, it's about protecting the home homeland. Right. Like the, the level of thinking that you have to get there is also. But that's also really what it is, is like, I want complete protection from consequences. This deserves a fucked up response. He did some fucked up shit. I know that the equivalent law and order position is, well, now they get to do some fucked up shit and I don't want them to do it to me. I want to always be able to fuck them up and I never want them to fuck me up. Is a truly like, oh, well then let's just move to Narnia.

[B]

Well, yeah, I guess that, I mean, you're basically describing exactly, like what Infowars believes about all sorts of issues.

[A]

Yeah. That's fair.

[B]

I guess that it is really just we want to assault people and assert our own will.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then never take responsibility for our actions or face any consequences. Great. So there's a question in the air that lingers and that is, is this a broken promise from Trump?

[A]

Is that a, is that a question?

[B]

It is. And the answer is yes. And even they know now regime change,

[C]

Venezuela, he says it isn't, but that's what it is. And now this. I know he said he didn't say never a nuclear weapon. So he was on record saying wouldn't allow that. But now he's full regime change. So I think Trump is breaking a promise here.

[D]

Yeah, I mean, it seems like that, but again, I mean, you have to go all in. And by the way, it looks like Fox News is also confirming that there are 5, 10 top Iranian leaders who have been killed in the initial strikes. That's what they're saying right now. That was a strike at one of their compounds.

[C]

Let's get this out on X. I want to repost this. We're live. Put that back up, guys. Yeah, let's listen to. They killed. Go ahead.

[D]

Yeah, so that's what, that's what they're saying. This is coming from Jennifer Griffin, who obviously is not a friendly to the Pentagon, but she's coming out and saying that sources are confirming that there's either five to ten top Iranian officials killed.

[B]

It's so easy. The way she says that person is not a friend. I think she categorizes media that way as who is, who are the unfriendlies and who are the friendlies.

[A]

Feels very much about not so much the content of one's character.

[B]

This is journalism.

[A]

Yeah. That's the good stuff.

[B]

Anyway, promise is broken. Who gives a shit?

[A]

Well, I mean, hey, listen, what politician hasn't broken a promise here or there by blowing up another lady? Come on.

[B]

Yeah, I get it, I get it. Politics is hard sometimes. You over promise and you can't deliver.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

And sometimes you gotta violate the Constitution.

[A]

Who knows what you gonna do?

[B]

No one's perfect.

[A]

What you gonna do?

[B]

So anyway, one of the good pieces of truth.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is that this is not a pointless war. All these other wars that dialects has been against have been pointless. Sure this one isn't pointless.

[A]

Interesting.

[B]

That's a dumb distinction. And these people are monsters.

[C]

There's no doubt. These are not completely pointless wars like we had before. I don't even endorse them. It's definitely from Trump's perspective for America. I don't know if they can pull it off. I pray for our military, I pray for the Iranians. You know, the Israelis bomb that girls school, killed 85 students.

[D]

Yeah, that's the problem. I don't know how to feel.

[A]

Yeah, you're fine with it. Fuck off, you're fine with it. I can't kill more kids.

[D]

Fuck you with the news these days, both Israel and obviously whoever else are going after these other governments, obviously Iran, I'm including in this one. It's hard, hard to tell. It really is hard to tell because a lot of the propaganda comes from both sides of the argument. You know, they want to pull the emotional strings of people all around the world and say, look, they killed children. Now if we don't see any bodies, unfortunately, I'm not going to buy into it. But again, I mean, I wouldn't say that it's 100% not true. But they always look for these stories that are to pull at the heartstrings of those who are onlooking onto these conflicts. And I think that's the type of story that you put out there. If you really wanted to pull at the heartstrings of people all around the world, fuck you.

[A]

I mean, God damn, that is a true serial killer right there. That is some good shit. Like if you want true crime, that is somebody justifying like leaving 20 bodies in their backyard. And like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is bullshit. All the mainstream media people are trying to tug on your heartstrings with that one that I killed over there. Most of them were adult men. You guys are just bullshit.

[B]

I mean, that's one aspect of it. And then another aspect is like, hey, the media is saying this. I'm skeptical about it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I work for the outlet that always calls things fake and lies about shit.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Like, get, get the fuck out of here. Then there's another aspect of it that is, hey, until I see bodies, I'm not gonna be swayed by the emotional appeal of this. And once I see bodies, I'm gonna come up with an excuse for it.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Like, don't try and pretend that you're some stickler for the hard time truth. You don't give a shit.

[A]

I mean, that is. We've tried, we've tried to see if there's a bottom. Right. And I think it's been debated over way too much as to like, oh, is this when they're getting off? Right. Or even like, oh, look, these people are saying that they're getting, getting off. And it's like, no, this is what it is. This is what they are. They signed on, they're into it.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

And everybody who says they're not into it is full of shit.

[B]

Yeah. And if you enable them to pretend that they weren't into it once it becomes unsustainable.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

You are doing the bidding of bullshit fucking liars. And, and we're gonna be back.

[A]

We're gonna be back here.

[B]

Don't accept that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

We're going to be back in the situation right at the start of literally every war where everybody goes.

[C]

I.

[A]

Not like the last one. Yeah, the last one killed a lot of people. And then it didn't end all wars. This one, we're going to nail it this time.

[B]

So obviously, I don't know what's going to happen, and I have no geopolitical insight that, like, can tell you, oh, here's, here's. Oh, this domino is going to fall over here.

[A]

Here.

[B]

But I do think that it's part. It's very. It feels very difficult to over dramatize the killing of the Ayatollah. That seems like a very big thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so I worry about, like, how the chips are gonna fall. I do. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I don't think. I think that this has more ripple effects than kidnapping. Maduro.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

For sure.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

And I think that has a lot of ripple effects.

[A]

Now let me throw this out there. All right. Let's say. Because it's, you know, you don't want to get too much of a reaction. You don't want people to feel like, oh, it's all about the Ayatollah. Right. So Israel in the U.S. next stop, blow up the Pope. Handle that one. Then get the Dalai Lama. Get, like, get a few more religious leaders in there. Otherwise people are going to think it's. It's bigoted. This isn't bigotry, man.

[B]

Well, they can't take out the Pope because the real Pope's been arrested by Leo Zagami.

[A]

That's true. Or it's easier for them to take out the Pope because they know where

[B]

he's keep being kept in Chicago. He's down at the Wiener Circle.

[A]

We switched Popes. We gave you Chicago Pope and brought other pope into Chicago. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

He's hiding out, getting. Getting a Polish dog, all of that Italian food. Drag that hot dog through the garden.

[A]

Too much cheese. Get some relish in you, my man.

[B]

So, yeah, I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't want to over, like, I don't want to be overly dramatic and be like, hey, everyone, this is bad. But at the same time, I don't know how to. I don't. I don't know how to respond to this appropriately. And the fact that Alex is having this response is fucking insane. Yeah.

[A]

So I know how not to respond to it. This. I know what an inappropriate response looks like.

[B]

And it's wild too that like Alex's, you know, his response itself is fucking insane.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then Brianna's response is equally insane. And also it relies on like not learning the lessons that even Alex learned from the Iraq war.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

She seems to be ignorant of the. Some of the very basic things that everyone who listens to the show has gone through.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

So that's great.

[A]

I guess. I guess blood thirst is, is greater than any kind of learning ability.

[B]

I feel ripped off that I didn't get to find out what Rex thinks.

[A]

Oh well, I bet that's why Rex didn't make it onto the show. He's really against it.

[B]

Or he's gathering his thoughts. He doesn't want to shoot from the hip.

[A]

He could be. Rex is. Rex is known as a. As a cogitator.

[B]

Right. His words carry import.

[A]

They do.

[B]

Alex can talk all the shit he wants, but when his kid says something,

[A]

that's the ultimate Rex 84. Rex 2026.

[B]

Anyway. All right, we'll find out what happens. Maybe he'll. Maybe he'll turn against the war the next day.

[A]

Why not?

[B]

We'll see.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But until then. Until we find out. We have a website.

[A]

Indeed we do. It's knowledgefright.com.

[B]

yep. We'll be back. But until then. I'm Neo. I'm Leo. I'm Daisy X. Clark. I am the mysterious Professor.

[A]

Woo.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Woo.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Woo. And now here comes the Sex Robots.

[C]

Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding.

[A]

Hello Alex. I'm a first time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work.

[C]

I love you.
