Knowledge Fight 

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.

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.
