Knowledge Fight

Today, Dan tells Jordan about how Alex Jones publicly turned on Donald Trump after Trump ordered airstrikes against Syria. Is Alex being intellectually sincere? No. Is Alex drunk as hell? Yes. Does Alex kind of imply that he's had sex with a man at some point? Kinda. It's a messed up show.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the press conference that Alex Jones held in Washington DC on April 10, 2018. Actually, that's not true, they talk about that a little bit, but mostly talk about how stupid the Q and A session that Alex held after the conference was.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about how he had to jump up his investigation into the past because Alex Jones' show was terribly produced in 2008, and thus they find themselves in 2009 moving forward. In this installment, the gents discuss how Alex use to understand that cops were unjustly killing black people, how Alex used to have to allow his sponsors to come on air as guests, and how hilarious Kinky Friedman is.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about a very important 2006 interview Alex Jones did with "movie producer turned conspiracy theorist" Aaron Russo. This interview is a very large piece of Alex's mythology, and upon closer analysis, it is actually a document that may offer a troubling insight into Alex himself.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the April 4th episode of The Alex Jones Show. The gents talk a bit about how cool George Soros' dad was, how much of an idiot Mike Adams is, and how Alex thinks his ex-wife is "the liberal media."

Today, Dan tells Jordan a little bit about what happened on the April 2, 2018 episode of The Alex Jones Show. It's mostly just a quick demonstration that Alex is pathetically and desperately afraid of a high school kid. Then, your hosts break down the remaining entries in the Alex Jones Drops Bracket. Voting is open now in the Facebook group: Go Home And Tell Your Mother You're Brilliant.

Today, Dan and Jordan deal with what Alex Jones was up to last week, while Jordan was on vacation. Tune in for the part where Alex talks about how he's been a part of 10 abortions in his life, stay for the hosts arguing about how much respect a guest should get.

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss how Alex spent a week talking himself into exploiting his own child for political purposes. It's not a great time, and Jordan hates it. It's hard to blame him, but this conversation cannot be ignored.

Today, Dan is joined by "Fill-In Jordan" Matt Riggs to discuss the March 23rd episode of the Alex Jones Show. Today we learn that Roger Stone has convinced Alex that Trump hiring John Bolton is totally cool, that Alex is worried about getting bullied by a high school student, and that Silicon Valley is a conspiracy.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the events of the last week on The Alex Jones Show. The topics covered range from Laura Loomer lying about her own reporting, Alex being dumb about the McCarthyism, and Alex saying something so racist it is baffling.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the time that Charlie Sheen popped up on The Alex Jones Show and began the uncomfortable public spectacle that would take on a life of its own. Most people remember the quotes, but many forget that the kick-off occurred on The Alex Jones Show. Come for the uncomfortable rambling, stay for Alex being a bad friend for broadcasting this.

Today, Dan tells Jordan about how Alex Jones came into the studio probably drunk on St. Patrick's Day and rambled a bunch on nonsense about European crowns, how much Trump loves you, and how much Alex hates getting texts from his wife. Also, the Alex Jones Drops Bracket begins!

Today, Dan and Jordan get into the Week That Was on the Alex Jones Show. Most of it is terrible (code for Gavin McGinness), a little bit of it is hilarious (code for Alex's persecution complex). It's too much to listen to, but enjoy.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened on the March 12 episode of The Alex Jones Show. Alex has just been "on vacation" for a week, so Alex comes back to the studio feeling a need to remind the people why he's the best. This leads to yelling about Satan, the return of his Bernie Sanders impression, and a very long interview with a British career criminal.

Today, Dan begins to tell Jordan about his investigation into Alex Jones and the beginning of the Tea Party movement. Unfortunately, he way overshot the start date, so this episode is mostly about how Alex is afraid of science and takes it personally when anyone suggests white people may be bad.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about October 4, 2016, when Alex Jones got super duper excited about how Julian Assange was doing a press conference about how evil Hillary Clinton was. In reality, Assange was only doing a press conference about how Wikileaks had existed for 10 years, so the Gents just get to enjoy 2 hours of Alex slowly getting more mad.

Today, Dan tells Jordan about a really good example of how Alex Jones has literally no standards about who he allows on his show as a guest. This is not news, but today's example is the very hateful pastor Steve Anderson, who Alex Jones has on to discuss whether or not the rapture comes before or after the tribulation. As is so often the case, there are far more important issues to discuss.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened during Alex Jones' 8 PM shift during his recent "Help Me I'm Being Sued" Marathon. It's a classic esoteric performance by a drunk Alex, covering such diverse topics as "how Alex is a victim because of the lawsuits against him" and "how Alex is a victim because the listeners of his show don't give him enough money." Definitely high end political talk.

Today, Dan and Jordan have a little episode for you where they discuss Alex Jones' interview with Jalen Martin, a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Alex's actions in the aftermath of this tragedy, as well as after pretty much every tragedy, are pretty formulaic and uninteresting, but this interview manages somehow to transcend in the arena of distastefulness.

Today, Dan and Jordan try to come back to the present after wrapping up their coverage of Alex Jones' "documentary" Endgame, but the water is just way too full of garbage to swim in. They dip a toe, then decide to time travel back to 2006, when for whatever reason, David Lynch agreed to call in and talk with Alex, and the big problem this illustrates about Alex's nonsense worldview.

Today, Dan and Jordan complete their coverage of Alex Jones' terrible "documentary" Endgame. It's been a long and difficult road, but thankfully, the home stretch includes some demonstrable lies about carbon taxes and an accidental exploration of San Francisco cyberpunk culture.

Today, Dan and Jordan soldier forward through the exceedingly stupid Alex Jones "documentary" Endgame. In this installment, the gents wrap up some Nazi talk, get pretty sick of Alex's shit, then Dan breaks down the 1934 film Tomorrow's Children.

Today, Dan and Jordan enter the part of their Endgame coverage where both of them start to lose patience with Alex Jones' silly games, almost reaching their breaking point before a pizza arrives toward the end of this episode and gave them their second wind.

Today, Dan and Jordan's exploration of Alex Jones' increasingly amateurish and embarrassing "documentary" Endgame continues. On this episode, the gents follow Alex to Canada where he yells at strangers with a megaphone, and they learn about how important it is, when you're making outrageous accusations, to have not-insane people be your source.

Today, Dan and Jordan embark on an adventure that is probably a very dumb idea: covering the entirety of Alex Jones' very stupid "documentary" Endgame. Dan found approximately 130 specific instances of Alex either lying or "playing with the truth," so this could take a while. In this first episode, the gents learn that Alex doesn't know what "quote" means, but he does love Nazi propaganda films.

Today, Dan tells Jordan about the very weird time when Alex Jones somehow got David de Rothschild to call into his show. At the time, David was promoting the 7/7/07 Live Earth concerts and the book about climate change that he had written, but instead of really talking about any of that, Alex decides to be a huge dick and spout antisemitic conspiracy theories about his guest's family. It is a mess.

Today, Dan and Jordan go on a time-traveling adventure as directed by Policy Wonk Jessie, who wanted to know what Alex Jones was up to on their birthday. As luck would have it, that date coincided with the day that Benjamin Netanyahu came to America and spoke to Congress. This sends Alex into a tailspin of uncomfortable Israel-related weirdness.

Today, Dan walks Jordan through the painful episode of The Alex Jones Show from Feb. 8, 2018. The pain mostly comes from Alex being in a very weird headspace, and lashing out aggressively at the trans community. There is pain, but there's also pleasure, in the form of Alex not knowing anything about Bitcoin and clearly having a conman as his guest to talk about it.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about a very drunk special report Alex Jones put out on the evening of Feb. 2nd, where he screams about a segment on MSNBC that was critical of Trump. Alex also takes the opportunity to curse like a sailor and do some incredibly embarrassing impression work.

Today, Dan and Jordan need to take a break from talking about Alex Jones, so they descend into the deep, murky waters of Project Camelot. In this installment, they break down an interview between Kerry Cassidy and a remote viewer named Courtney Brown about a war in heaven. Also, the gents learn about Courtney's incredibly troubling past.

Dan and Jordan are still stuck back in the past, discussing episodes of The Alex Jones Show from 2008, and Dan has reached a strange point of conflict. Despite him being wrong all the time, was Alex Jones so bad back in 2008? Would Alex Jones be way happier if he had never started selling weird pills and making tons of money? These questions and more are discussed on this episode.

Today, Dan explains to Jordan why the present is no longer worth exploring as it relates to Alex Jones. Thus, the gents dive deep back into the past to see what Alex was doing about a decade ago. Spoiler alert: he was lying and enjoying really good country jams.

Today, Dan and Jordan go live at the Playground Theater to discuss the March 1-2, 2012 episodes of The Alex Jones Show. The gents break down how Alex responded to the news that Andrew Breitbart had died. We all cope with loss in our own way, and Alex apparently copes by lying a whole lot and spreading conspiracy theories about the deceased.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about an episode of The Alex Jones Show where Alex Jones keeps retelling a story about running into an "authoritarian" in a hot tub while on vacation. The story cannot be true, but it's fun to watch Alex give it more and more layers of lies as time goes on. Also, Alex lies a bunch about the UN to scare his listeners and pulls off one of the harshest ad pivots in history.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about a very groundbreaking episode of The Alex Jones Show, where we get a sense of where Alex's martyr complex comes from, and whether Alex prefers "facts" or "lore." This episode was broadcast the day after LaVoy Finnecum was killed at the Oregon Wildlife Preserve Standoff. That event has put Alex Jones into the kind of headspace where he accidentally says a number of things that he usually keeps inside, and luckily, Knowledge Fight is here to bring those things to light.

Dan had the best of intentions with trying to figure out what Alex Jones thought about the Slenderman so he could tell Jordan all about it. Unfortunately, it appears that Alex had no take on that, so Dan instead tells Jordan about the day where Alex goes real deep into board games and welcomes the most unlikely guest of all time onto the show.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about Alex Jones' intense insecurity and how that has affected the beginning of his 2018. Alex is concerned that the conspiracy world has left him behind, so he commits to a terrible narrative that is so absurd and stupid that Dan and Jordan can't stop laughing.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened on the Jan. 8, 2018 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The gents deal with some of the world's worst analysis of an Oprah speech, Alex pretending that his rant about Brian Stelter was "satire," and much more.

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss some issues that came up in the Jan. 5, 2018 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The internet is up in arms about how Alex spent about 10 min of this episode screaming about Brian Stelter and demons, but did commentators miss an important element of the story? Probably.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happens on the first episode of The Alex Jones Show of 2018. Folks may have expected Alex to turn over a new leaf in the new year and maybe stop lying so much. Those folks would be wrong. However, Alex does start 2018 with a bunch of ridiculous impressions, so we will call that a win.

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss Alex Jones' very combative appearance with Piers Morgan from back in January of 2013. Both men are assholes, so just sit back and enjoy the last episode of 2017 as your hosts actively root against both participants in a "debate."

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened on the February 21st and 23rd episodes of The Alex Jones Show. Dan set out to find out what Alex thought of Russia when they first invaded Ukraine, and he found something unsettling. However, he also found a bizarre esoteric rant and an entire episode full of Alex treating his callers like assholes.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the Dec. 15, 2017 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The episode is long, and ends with your hosts rambling a fair amount, and getting very wrapped up in discussing the finer points that Alex does not understand about people with disabilities.

Today, Dan and Jordan dig into the January 21-22, 2016 episodes of the Alex Jones Show. The gents try to figure out why they are still trying to solve a solved mystery, and in the process end up unpacking some crazy lies that Alex is trying to tell about the Chinese and the citizens of Michigan. Also, Dan goes off on Ted Malloch out of nowhere.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about how Alex Jones couldn't stop interrupting a clip from Morning Joe that he played on his December 5th show. It takes Alex about 45 min of showtime to get through less than a minute of content, and boy, his analysis of it all is weak. Also, Alex admits that he started an entirely new sales website so he could skirt pricing agreements that he's signed with suppliers.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the December 4th episode of The Alex Jones Show. The episode will live in all our memories as "that time Alex Jones tried to pretend he wanted dissenters to call in, then avoided the minimal valid criticism a caller threw his way and started to fake crying talking about masculinity." Also, Jordan screams about the tax bill.

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened on the November 17th episode of The Alex Jones Show. This episode marks the first time we know of that Alex ends his show on a cliffhanger, but definitely not the first time he's spewed intensely ahistorical racist theories or used absurd arguments to defend horrible men.

Today, Jordan picked a random day from the past for Dan to research, and he accidentally picked a huge winner. Not only does Alex Jones gloss over the CIA torture report, but he also has two of the weirdest guests on the show imaginable: Prof. Darrell Hamamoto (Dan's "favorite crazy") and Billy Corgan (singer, mad at Anderson Cooper).

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss how Alex Jones recently put out a drunk special report that is really just a commercial trying to promote an upcoming 34 hour long broadcast marathon, which is itself just a 34 hour long commercial. It's a sad snake eating its own tail, and it sends the gents to dark headspaces and an amazing game show pitch.

Today, Dan and Jordan fulfill the request of one of their Globalist Policy Wonk donors, the great Keegan, and travel back in time to 2014. The hunt was on for an episode where Alex was drunk at work, so the search began at St. Patricks Day. We don't really think Alex was drunk on March 18th, but the utter nonsense coming out of his mouth would make more sense if he was. Also, Alex insults a Make-A-Wish kid.
