On level two of Knowledge Fight Country, Dan and guest adventurer Molly Conger embark across the arid desert that is Harrison Smith's tepid (but very brave) discussion about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Translation of Protocols used by Harrison: https://www.heritage-history.com/site/hclass/secret_societies/ebooks/pdf/nilus_protocols.pdfPeople can find copies of Behold A Pale Horse, Mien Kampf, and The Prince fairly easily.John Foster Dulles advocated for lower German war reparations: https://www.jstor.org/stable/26403911?seq=5Book that covers Allen Dulles's connection to Protocols: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/us-intelligence-and-the-nazis/oss-knowledge-of-the-holocaust/1DF5A55052706115E422799052C133F3Forgeries reported in 1920: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/protocols-of-the-elders-of-zionInterview with Steven Zipperstein, writer of Pogrom: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2018/04/separating-fact-myth-1903-anti-jewish-riotDaniel Schulman Politico article about Boris Brasol: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/11/26/boris-brasol-protocols-of-zion-00128223Rothschild Waterloo story is a hoax: https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/home-news/the-rothschild-libel-why-has-it-taken-200-years-for-an-antisemitic-slur-that-emerged-from-the-battle-of-waterloo-to-be-dismissed-10216101.html See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first level of Knowledge Fight Country, Dan and his guest adventurer Molly Conger set out to understand the context around Tucker Carlson's interview with a welder who is mad about algebra. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2016 was a pivotal year for Dan Friesen. It's the year he became fascinated with Alex Jones, and began watching the election of Donald J. Trump through the lens of Jones' show Info Wars. This obsession led to ten years of podcasting and a thousand episodes trying to answer one question: was Alex Jones as awful a person as he appeared if you actually watched his entire show? The answer was yes. In fact, Jones was worse than even the mainstream media painted him out to be. Now, Dan is expanding this quest to other right-wing media pundits, diving deep into their shows and taking their words at face value in an attempt to put them in their proper context. Welcome to Knowledge Fight Country. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Knowledge Fight Country is a platform where Dan Friesen and his guests can chew over the biggest and best ideas being disseminated in right wing media. Through a focus on Alex Jones and figures similar to him, this show will provide a humorous and fun layer on top of discussing the context on why liars lie and how they do it.

Hello wonks. Dan here, swinging in to hijack the feed to drop the first episode of my new podcast Show Me State Of Mind. I'm posting the debut here, but to catch episodes in the future, you can find them at this link. I hope you enjoy the show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan stick around the present day of the Alex Jones Show because they are gluttons for punishment. In this installment, the gents find Alex being a real a*****e about Somali immigrants, speculating about black pyramids, and interviewing a Scottish dog trainer/bigot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan check in on the present day on the Alex Jones Show and find a very bizarre but unsurprising picture. Alex is pretty all over the place, passionately defending the idea of Trump enacting martial law, extolling absurd Doomsday Prophecies, and coming off like a real gross bigot. Pretty normal stuff to hear from Alex in 2019. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan stick in the past to gather a little more information about how Alex Jones did business in the days after Sandy Hook. In this installment, the gents see hints of Alex being overeager to cover shootings irresponsibly. They also discuss how off-base Alex is about the Aurora theater shooting, and find Alex becoming friends with a guest who may or may not be running a child trafficking ring. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan go back to the past to explore how Alex Jones covered the days after the shooting at Sandy Hook. In this installment, everything goes crazy with completely absurd interviews. Alex interviews an insane sheriff. PJW interviews a Sandy Hook truther (poorly). Mike Adams interviews anti-vax charlatan Andrew Wakefield. It's a wild couple of days. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan tells Jordan about one of the weirdest days ever on The Alex Jones Show. Alex begins the show really depressed about Satanists and finishes the show by barging out of the studio for one of the most childish reasons imaginable. The key is in what happens in between, like Alex thinking the show Gunsmoke is realistic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan present you with something a little different. The gents were thrilled to do a cross-over episode with the QAnon Anonymous podcast, where the two sides debate the possibility of finding a middle ground, to create a unified peace between QAnon and Alex Jones, thereby bringing harmony to the world of conspiracy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan get back to the past to continue looking into what Alex Jones was doing in the days after Sandy Hook. Not a whole lot to learn about Alex's opinion on the shooting this episode, but the gents do get to talk a bit about Alex planning tax fraud with his neighbor, "the Illuminati card game," and Alex recommending a book that Timothy McVeigh liked even more than the Turner Diaries. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the end of the last week on the Alex Jones Show. During this span of time, Alex went from being not-banned from a few social media platforms to being super-banned from them, so the gents discuss how Alex took the news, and what clues he may have given about how it went down. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan dig into the past to try to learn more about how Alex Jones covered the days after Sandy Hook, but things go a little off the rails in this installment. On this episode, Alex has managed to land a guest he's very excited about, the "Obama-Phone Lady," which leads to a very weird day at the InfoWars studio. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dan and Jordan take a Wacky Wednesday break from talking about Alex Jones to take a little look into some chaos in Project Camelot land. Sweary Kerry has been pretty mad lately about a British guy who is making a documentary about how her friend Mark Richards is not a space captain (which he is not), but actually a murderer (which he is). As professional Mark Richards analysts, the gents decide that they need to know a little more about this situation, so they dig in and see what's up.
