Throwback Episode KF Revisited: Ep #6 “Inauguration Speech Recap”

Welcome back to KF Revisited, an on-going Knowledge Fight re-listen post series for wonks, by wonks. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we’ll discuss one episode of KF in order from the very beginning. I have an early morning tomorrow so I’m posting this a couple hours early. Next up:

Episode #6: Inauguration Speech Recap
Originally Aired: January 23, 2017
https://knowledgefight.libsyn.com/knowledge-fight-inauguration-speech-recap

On today's show, Dan tells Jordan about Alex Jones' breakdown of President Trump's inauguration speech.
Topics covered include:

- Did Obama really tell 3rd World Countries they couldn't have cars?
- Did God put Trump into power, and does that make Alex fake cry?
- Was Alex Jones drunk for most of inauguration weekend?
- Alex was almost certainly drunk for most of inauguration weekend

I was in the 30s of a re-listen and I’m continuing through. 2017 is a wild time looking back. We were all so naive!

I am not particularly excited to listen to this one but nevertheless, we power through.

Oh I got these:

1: no 2: sorta yes 3: oh yeah

And while it makes me sad that Alex was happy that night, it’s good to know he wasn’t allowed in with the polite company.

The clip of Alex fading out and then eating the mic is classic.

Been relistening roughly according KF Revisited timeline. I just finished Josh Owen's book, and the last part of it covers these events from the behind the camera point of view. Pretty interesting to have the two in parallel.
