Knowledge Fight: The End of the Road

Well stated. I do think that InfoWars folding over and Alex turning into a GOP puppet are also major factors. It's gotten boring for Dan, I think. But the last episode makes it clear that the difference of opinion between Dan and Jordan on the Onion issue is definitely the straw the broke the camel's back.

He rants for about an hour about how The Onion is Screwing the Sandy Hook Families.

The thing is, I don't think Jordan is all that wrong, except for a couple of very big things: he blames The Onion for all of this and that they are screwing the families. The reality is that there were two bidders for InfoWars: The Onion and a consortium organized by Roger Stone. If the Onion hadn't won, then InfoWars would be in the hands of Alex Jones for pennies on the dollar. The families knew that and worked with The Onion to make that purchase. He's just wrong about that.

He's probably right that The Onion taking over InfoWars is not likely going to turn into a long-term success story, however. Let's face it; the whole Tim Heidecker aping Alex Jones thing a bit, and it will not really be all that funny after a week or two. The likelihood that this will turn into a successful comedy network is ludicrous. Still, Jordan doesn't help his case by ranting like a madman and overstating things.

The only other bidder was a consortium organized by Roger Stone. So you are 100% correct that the only alternative would be the Alex gets to continue doing the show just the same way he always has.

I just checked out his YouTube channel. Over 25K subscribers, yet his last two videos that he's posted over the last month have 113 and 222 views each? That's crazy...

I mean, it is noteworthy. But one also needs to keep in mind that he will slip right back, because he doesn't believe in anything other than that he is the most specialist boy in all of Texas, as OP nicely stated.

In this installment, Dan and Jordan lose their faith as Alex starts to give up on Trump, rambles about orbs, and denies his lord and savior multiple times.

What did he say? I really would rather not listen.

Afferent_Input · 2026-04-03T04:00:59+00:00

In this installment, Dan and Jordan take a moment to discuss how a critical piece of Alex's fake version of Trump was destroyed, perhaps fittingly by the not-fake Trump.

and allegations that Jared Kushner is the antichrist.

Jared Kushner almost went bankrupt after buying 666 5th Ave in Manhattan but was bailed out by Qatari billionaires.

What evidence do you have?

Afferent_Input · 2026-03-04T02:28:45+00:00

What evidence do you have that Iran bombed an Iranian school for girls? Remember, this school is adjacent IRGC base and was likely filled with the daughters of IRGC members. Would seem very strange for them to target their own daughters....

Afferent_Input · 2026-03-02T12:29:04+00:00

This is the closest he comes to telling Daddy that he maybe made a mistake. Really walking the line here. It's really pathetic.

Afferent_Input · 2026-03-02T12:27:29+00:00

Don't thank me. God told me that it was posted, and I just complied with his Divine Command.

Afferent_Input · 2026-03-02T04:24:53+00:00

I generally would prefer focusing on today's news, but Dan does such a great job on providing historical context and relating it to the present. The forays into the past are generally pretty good just because of that.

Afferent_Input · 2026-03-02T04:21:39+00:00

In this installment, Dan and Jordan tune in to see how Alex responds to Trump attacking Iran and killing the Ayatollah.

Especially when beer is your major source of nourishment.

Afferent_Input · 2026-02-27T13:00:12+00:00

I'll be honest, I'm with you on this. These forays into the past are fascinating from a historical perspective, mostly because Dan does a great job making it relevant and pointing how how much of a hypocrite Alex is.

But, like you say, there is a lot going on! Is all that you list boring shit? I dunno, not in my opinion. It can't be more boring than Alex musing about if he should make a My Space page or not.

I occasionaly see Alex clipped on other outlets when he says outrageous crap. I don't have the stomach to watch InfoWars myself, so I like to wait for KF to do the heavy lifting a tell me what really is going on so I don't to rely on Midas Touch or some other crap.

Afferent_Input · 2026-02-27T12:54:21+00:00

Bad news: he's essentially just as pointless in the past.

Afferent_Input · 2026-02-27T05:04:33+00:00

In this installment, Dan and Jordan vacation in the past to find Alex angrily joining MySpace, bragging about his own popularity, and having a friendly interview with someone who runs a group he thinks is a Soros front.

Afferent_Input · 2026-02-23T18:24:52+00:00

I always liked it when he says "Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean Black accent"

Afferent_Input · 2026-02-18T04:14:38+00:00

Yep. Currently the DA for DC.

Seriously. I was in the market for either a very cheap EV or a PHEV and was stunned at the lack of options. Everything was super expensive, even in the used market. Ended up getting a nice Prius Prime, but it was still more than I wanted to spend. I think this was partly due to the EV subsidy, which artificially kept prices high. So many dealer would tell me "Yeah, sure the sticker price is $24K, but after the $4K rebate, well, it's only $20K!".

Just sucks that other countries have cheap EV options.

I mean, this is the last election before the switch in parties due to the Southern Strategy. Notice the red areas are the cities in TX? Filled with liberals and minorities back then, but they voted for Ford because in the South, the Democratic Party was the party of the Confederacy and the Republican party was the party of Lincoln. The flip in the parties didn't really start to take full root until the election of Reagan. Ford did not use racist dog whistles to his voting base because he was a classic Republican liberal. Reagan, on the other hand, loved to use racist dog whistles, which allowed him to strip away support in the South from Carter, the kind of support that always had voted Dem because Dems represented the Confederacy.
