That is disgusting and should be disqualifying in terms of ever taking him seriously. So tonight, we are going to do that, and let’s first set aside the key context, that Alex Jones has repeatedly used his show to fuel speculation that the Sandy Hook Massacre was staged by the government, which has been deeply hurtful for the parents of those children over the years.

But– but I will give him this, Jones is right, that too often, people don’t present him in his full context.
Believe me, I sound like a chimney sweep passing through a wood chipper. And two, my British accent does not sound intellectual. They want to hear somebody that can speak to ’em and touch ’em inside. And now, you make fun of me out of context, and I’ll go, “Look at this loon!” Hey boy, people want legitimacy, they want real. After you lectured us that Donald Trump could never win, over and over again, as you know, you’re the intellectual, everybody knows a British accent is intellectual.
We even mentioned him on our first show of the season, back in February and in his response to it, he seemed a little annoyed with me.ĪLEX JONES: Your ratings are in the toilet, you’re a joke, they brought you back, revamped… out of the gate, to attack yours truly. So look, it is no wonder that Jones has been getting a lot of coverage, recently. JOHN: The only thing that could’ve made that moment any grosser is if Nigel Farage, Bill Cosby and Phil Spector were all on the same call. You will be very, very impressed, I hope and I think we’ll be speaking a lot. TRUMP: I just wanna finish by saying, your reputation’s amazing. He– he supposedly called Jones after the election, has tweeted content from Infowars and one of its editors and just a year and a half ago, even appeared on his show. An estimated six million people listen to his radio show or watch it online every week, and we know at least one Jones fan seems to be current Russian Ambassador to the United States, Donald Trump. But, unfortunately, it is an important part of a lot of people’s media diets. Now look, ideally, ideally, the first thing you should know about The Alex Jones Show, is nothing. I’ve got the snakes everywhere! Stop those snakes, motherfuckers. Go after the enemy! Crush the snakes under your feet! (SNIFFS) Clear ice, full house. JOHN: Well, at least now we know what Friday Night Lights would’ve looked like if they’d given Coach Taylor a nasty PCP habit. Jones is a charismatic performer who gets charged up on a regular basis, so there are plenty of lesser known outbursts like this…ĪLEX JONES: My spirit is close than evil and I feel it and my whole spirit just goes… (SCREAMS) They call that crazy, that’s not crazy, that’s my will, my human spirit saying, “Crush those that would hurt the innocent! Go after the enemy, build a civilization, be honorable! Crush the snakes under your feet!” And that famous clip is by no means and outlier. Oh, that’s right, they’re all fluent in French now and they will be working that into conversation. Like the fact that the government is turning raccoons bi-lingual. If he is that upset about a government conspiracy that is not happening, just imagine how upset he’s gonna be when he finds out about one that is actually is. You think I– (GUFFAWS) I’m like shocked by it, so I’m up here bashing it because I don’t like gay people? (YELLS) I don’t like ’em putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin’ frogs gay! Do you understand that? (GRUNTS) Crap! And I’m not saying people didn’t naturally have homosexual feelings. Because you’ve probably seen crazy clips like this.ĪLEX JONES: What do you think tap water is? It’s a gay bomb, baby. JOHN: We’re gonna talk about the media, specifically, one increasingly influential member of it, Alex Jones, the Walter Cronkite of shrieking batshit gorilla clowns.Īnd I know you may be thinking, there is nothing more I need to know about Alex Jones.
