I wish Billy Wayne Davis would be back on Behind the Bastards. He and Robert have such good chemistry and his response to the topics are always amazing. I remember him talking about how chuds would see him open for Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson but they would be pissed about his liberal jokes. He said that they apparently did not realize what Simpson and Childers talked about in their songs.

“Age of consent” laws are a major thing for some libertarians but whenever I mention that to libertarians, they get pretty mad and say that is not them. But their loudest voices just keep going back to that. I know this is not Knowledge fight specific but it is lateral. Does anyone sub to the QAA patreon? I started back in October (about a month after I started listening) because their premium episode samples pulled me in. Now, it seems like they are all over the place on when they release episodes or what their episodes are about (several movie watch episodes in the last couple of months). Is this just a lull time for them each year or has anyone else noticed the quality being so so recently?

I have lurked for a while but this is my path to them: Started listening to history podcasts like Revolutions in 2019. Searched for more stuff like that and found Robert Evans’ It Could Happen Here from 2019. That led me to Behind the Bastards which introduced me to Knowledge Fight (and QAnon Anonymous).

If you are going to confront Jones, just having the data and proof will get you nowhere. He will treat you like a Brian Stelter nerd and dance around you. You have to have someone there to really get to a narcissist’s inner mind by just outright laughing at them and mocking them when that proof is given so it makes it harder for them to gallop around it. I think Dan and Jordan both provide a good balance of how to handle someone like Jones and I think that may be a reason why Jones has never went after them. For example, I have a friend that loves to randomly send me Ben Shapiro videos to show me how liberals are wrong about everything. After refuting whatever bullshit BS is saying, I then just mock BS because I know that he will jump to another line of attack if I just refute the initial claim. I never refer to BS as BS, I only call him “Brett Hawthorne” (character from BS’s book that is everything BS wishes he could be) and I talk about how “Brett Hawthorne” is beyond dumb and just wishes more people would pay attention to him and love him. Makes the guy drop off quickly for several months before he jumps back in with another video.

Negative attention is still attention and he has bills to pay. My daughters watched a Disney teen show and Jim Breuer appeared on it as himself for a few episodes. Desperation makes people do crazy things. Also, he might just be massively stupid.

In CSpam, there is a thread going after Evans for…reasons…. It seems like the reasons jump all over from his picture to his use of the n word a decade ago to not supporting Palestinians to being a CIA/Assad shill to claiming he caused the unrest in Portland a few years ago.

After the Hillary’s email situation, he realized that shilling for the right wing made him money. He burned a source that had leaked information on Russian interference in 2016 which caused her to be sentenced to jail after the Trump admin went after her. This caused him to get fired/leave his reporting job. After that, he started a sub stack just to shill right wing BS especially about “journalistic integrity”, “cancel culture” and “wokeness”. He regularly appears on Tucker Carlson as the “former liberal (gay man) who realized how far the left and the media has gone wrong”. Also, he lives in Brazil where Bolsonaro hates gay men and Glenn has started promoting Bolsonaro’s agenda recently.

Now that a court has ruled that what he did/is doing is wrong, could this turn into harassment charges? I always remember how quickly Jones flipped on the Chobani bullshit and I wish this was the same.

“Reliable Sources” with Brain Stelter is being cancelled after 30 years. His last show is on Sunday. 1) wow, KF guys show up one time and the show is cancelled two weeks later. 2) Who is Jones going to go after now? I am guessing Anderson Cooper or Don Lemon.

SiriusXM announced today that they are adding audio streams of Law and Crime network to their online offerings. I wonder if the increased attention from the Alex Jones trial helped set this up. Also, Jones will always lie about it so the only way to stop him is to financially punish him in a way that monetarily cripples him for the rest of his life.

After Alex Jones ranted in front of media yesterday that he was broke and the families won’t get any more money from him and that he was going to tell off the judge and only plead the fifth from now on, his attorney announced yesterday that Jones would not take the stand. Without Jones, the defense is not calling any witnesses. He is such a weak and feeble coward.

Expect Jones to go off with Tucker clips next week. Tucker interviewed Kanye West and West started spouting conspiracy theories about Uvalde (along with actual legitimate criticism of the media). He ended it by asking if he was in Alex Jones territory.

red19fire posted:Does he mean ‘baseless assumptions based on zero actual research’ Alex Jones or ‘wild, inflammatory slander that will cost him a half a billion dollars in a defamation lawsuit’ Alex Jones? Baseless assumptions. He never seemed to go inflammatory slander, just “asking questions” about why the media all had the same story so quickly. He then used an actual media grievance about how the media does not pay attention to kids murdered in the inner city. He bookended that with his comment about how in sync they were before asking the Jones question.

Yeah, last night Kanye went almost down the “blacks are the real Jews” and how he was going to expose the Jews for what they have done. Twitter then suspended him much like Instagram did this past week. Tucker used him for the sound bites and will probably ignore him until Kanye has another mental break.
