 You know, this is one of those stories that I saw and I wanted to react to it on video But never had the chance to but now I'm taking the time to talk about this because this is a damn good story So a massively influential far-right figure named Ali Alexander seen here with Donald Trump Who helped organize the stop the steel rally with the help of Republican members of Congress like Paul Gosar Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks is alleging that he can time travel. Yes, you heard that correctly He contends Seriously that he has the ability to turn to time travel now. This is seemingly an innocuous thing to say right? It's not really that problematic. It's goofy, but there's nothing really harmful about this Well, you'd be surprised or maybe you won't be surprised to learn that he found a way to shoehorn in anti-semitism to his Conversation with his audience where he tries to convince them that he can indeed time travel I'll keep in mind this was recorded before the election So he also hints at other powers that he potentially has here and I've got to say I'm just I'm just impressed by this Let's watch even if Kerry was going to lose. I would will it into existence and I know that sounds kooky and I know that sounds crazy but Just don't catch me on a wild day Pete Davidson one time got on my bad side and almost killed himself so You're not gonna believe me. It doesn't matter The point is is that no one needs to believe you the first time the point is you just need to tell them a first time You understand this? This is gonna sound kooky for y'all and cozy, but you guys don't understand the esoteric What if I told you? that All of us are capable of traveling well not all of us because you're not smart enough What if I told you that there are a lot of people capable of time traveling? They just don't know it. What if I told you that time traveling is Easier than you think It requires a lot of discipline and no machines What if I told you that the reason why the New World Order? Wants you to focus on fiction stories about machines is they don't want you to know that everyone has access to time travel Then what if I told you that the re the way that those of us fight is We are each pooling from time itself It's of course the Jews time travel That's what makes the apostasy so great. So what if I told you? What if I told you? That I could prove that I've time traveled before I'd say do it bitch prove it Prove to the world that you actually can time travel Do it I Don't know why I'm drawn to these dumb ass stories so much But the goofier the thing that the right-wing pundit says is the more that I Chomp at the bit to talk about this. I Just There's there's so much there. So let's begin to unpack this by first of all explaining how he lumped in Oh, of course Jews can time travel because of course you try to find some way To demonize Jewish people that you know, they they're extra human. They have powers that we don't have which makes them a threat That's at least the implication here, but he also says that he had the power to Will carry lakes victory into existence? Turns out that didn't work. Maybe he didn't choose to do that though But also he said that he almost he almost may be David said kill himself That was you So I Mean if you're being honest there should we try you for attempted murder? I just I'm trying to figure out Where does this logic stop right if you think that you can time travel Now learning that you thought that the 2020 election was stolen is totally not surprising to me at all in fact, that's probably one of the more dare I say normal thoughts that you had because at least the prospect of The 2020 election being stolen even if it was not stolen But the prospect of it being stolen is at least something that is possible within the laws of physics within our empirical world, but time traveling however is something that is Impossible at least currently because we're limited by technology But I don't even know if he's suggesting that he has like a time machine I think that maybe he's saying that he himself can maybe like snap his fingers or fard Jump through a different time period, but if that's the case then how do you choose? Which era you're going to right? So on a time machine you'd select. Okay. I want to go to 1940 1950 probably want to go Further ahead in time actually no not because of climate change But like the further back you go the more racist and homophobic it gets but the further ahead in time you go The more likelihood that the world ends did a catastrophic and the Virginia climate change So I don't know where you'd want to go like I'm probably fine Just like in the present currently, but like let's say hypothetically speaking you want to jump to the year 2023 or 2024 just peek at who won the 2024 presidential election How do you do that? Is there like a dial or if you're not using a machine? Do you just think and you you wish it you say 2024 2024 like how does this work? Like I'm humoring him right but folks these are individuals People who claim things like this there are other QAnon influencers And I don't know if he's QAnon to be clear But there are other Influencers within the QAnon world that makes similar claims But I just want to know like at what point as far gone as your audience may be do they think hmm Maybe this person is dishonest Like this is not turn everyone off like if okay if I came to my audience And I get that you're all much smarter than the average right-wing viewer that they get But if I came to my audience and I said listen folks, I'm gonna blow your minds I can fly none of you would believe me But if I actually earnestly try to convince you that I could fly I think that all of you would abandon me Rightfully so because you'd realize that I am full of shit. I'm effectively so I'm I'm such a dishonest actor that I'm lying to you about the dumbest thing imaginable like nothing I say would ever be taken seriously again, but folks like Ali Alexander I Mean he can say things like this and I guess he still has an audience I mean look at the things that Alex Jones has said to be clear He literally said that there are fish people and he saw the fish people and he explained this crying by the way You can Google Alex Jones fish people if you don't believe me and he was describing how he saw fish people They were tapping on the glass. They're saying help me. They're like government experiments or something according to him and his audience is just like Yeah, this is perfectly plausible like When I say that we're drifting further into Different realities where the right kind of lives in their own world and everyone else's in reality This is what I mean, but these are the people who are driving this Separation between our reality, which is the empirical world that we all live in what we can see in front of us and The right wing world molded by people like Donald Trump and and this but Having said all of that though, I'll be honest I'd rather them talk about things like this and pretend to have superpowers then Spread conspiracy theories lie about vaccines lie about the election even if You know, this is more detached from reality I think it's less harmful than the other things that they say if you exclude the Antisemitism that he had to shoehorn in there, but either way, this is not a substantive topic I think that when there are so many dumb news stories or I should say when there are so many negative news stories the dumb ones I think that if we can get a little bit of an enjoyment and entertainment out of them We shouldn't beat ourselves up for that So this is one of those junk food stories where it's not necessarily substantive But boy, do I enjoy talking about it So yeah, there you have it the stop the steel founder who has collaborated with multiple members of Congress who has Access to powerful people is Seriously Contending that he can time travel All right, you know what teach me king. I'm not even mad. Teach me
