  • We're gonna talk about the media,

  • specifically, one increasingly influential member of it,

  • Alex Jones,

  • the Walter Cronkite of shrieking batshit gorilla clowns.

  • (CROWD LAUGHING)

  • And I know you may be thinking,

  • there is nothing more I need to know about Alex Jones.

  • Because you've probably seen crazy clips like this.

  • ALEX JONES: What do you think tap water is?

  • It's a gay bomb, baby.

  • And I'm not saying people didn't naturally

  • have homosexual feelings. I'm not even getting into it.

  • 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!

  • Wow. 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.

  • Like the fact that the government

  • is turning raccoons bi-lingual.

  • Oh, that's right, they're all fluent in French now

  • and they will be working that into conversation.

  • And that famous clip is by no means and outlier.

  • Jones is a charismatic performer who gets charged up

  • on a regular basis, so there are plenty

  • of lesser known outbursts like this...

  • 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!"

  • Well, at least now we know what Friday Night Lights

  • would've looked like if they'd given Coach Taylor

  • -a nasty PCP habit. -(CROWD LAUGHING)

  • Go after the enemy!

  • Crush the snakes under your feet! (SNIFFS)

  • Clear ice, full house. I've got the snakes everywhere!

  • Stop those snakes, motherfuckers. (SCREAMS)

  • (CROWD CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

  • Now look, ideally, ideally, the first thing you should know

  • about The Alex Jones Show, is nothing.

  • But, unfortunately, it is an important part

  • of a lot of people's media diets.

  • 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. -(CROWD LAUGHING)

  • 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.

  • TRUMP: I just wanna finish by saying,

  • your reputation's amazing. I will not let you down.

  • You will be very, very impressed, I hope

  • and I think we'll be speaking a lot.

  • 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. -(CROWD GROANING)

  • So look, it is no wonder that Jones has been getting

  • a lot of coverage, recently.

  • 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.

  • Your ratings are in the toilet, you're a joke,

  • they brought you back, revamped...

  • out of the gate, to attack yours truly.

  • 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.

  • (CROWD LAUGHING)

  • You know, there's no facts behind it.

  • 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.

  • They want to hear somebody that can speak to 'em

  • and touch 'em inside.

  • -(CROWD GROANING) -Okay, okay, I--

  • A few things there. One, don't call me boy.

  • And two, my British accent does not sound intellectual.

  • Believe me, I sound like a chimney sweep

  • passing through a wood chipper.

  • But-- but I will give him this, Jones is right,

  • that too often, people don't present him in his full context.

  • 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.

  • That is disgusting and should be disqualifying

  • in terms of ever taking him seriously.

  • Sadly, doing things that disqualify you

  • from being taken seriously,

  • doesn't really seem to be much of a thing anymore.

  • But-- but there is a piece of context,

  • you may be less aware of

  • and that concerns the nature of Jones' show itself.

  • It is four hours long,

  • and if you tune into the whole thing,

  • your most shocking discovery might be how frequently

  • and shamelessly he pitches products that he sells.

  • In fact, remember that clip from him earlier,

  • yelling about snakes?

  • Let's just go back to that and play it out a bit.

  • Be honorable! Crush the snakes under your feet!

  • (SIGHS) Get behind me, Satan!

  • (PANTING) Now before I go any further...

  • before I go any further...

  • we gotta fund this operation,

  • we got the very best nutraceuticals out there.

  • I don't know if I can run this for another week or so,

  • we wanna run this through the end of the month,

  • that's like 11 days.

  • 'Cause I don't want it to sell out before more gets in

  • Twenty percent off infowarslive.com,

  • -infowarslive.com. -(CROWD GROANING)

  • infowarslive.com!

  • Woah! That is a hard turn to have to make.

  • (YELLS) The Satan-worshiping deep state globalists

  • are gonna murder you and your entire family!

  • Open your eyes, sheeple, they are coming for you,

  • they're coming for all of us!

  • (CLEARS THROAT)

  • But first...

  • -McGillicuddy's Oatmeal. -(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)

  • The perfect way to start your day.

  • And look, that clip is not an anomaly.

  • In one week of recent broadcast on his sight,

  • we found he spent nearly a quarter of the time,

  • either talking about or playing ads for his products,

  • or pointing you to the Infowars store.

  • And if you have never gone shopping on Infowars, you are in

  • for whatever the exact opposite of a treat is.

  • Because there's the kind of survival gear

  • that you would expect alongside more surprising items

  • like organic shampoo, body wash and deodorant

  • as well as products like Combat One Tactical Bath Wipes

  • a ten-dollar pack of moist towelettes

  • that can be used anywhere needed,

  • including the perineal area.

  • Which, if you're wondering, is this region, right here.

  • -(CROWD GROANING) -That's right, Alex Jones

  • is trying to sell you sloppy wet rags for your tait.

  • And-- and when you are done wiping down

  • the area between your genitals and anus

  • with a glorified wet nap...

  • why not pick up a Bill Clinton Rape Whistle?

  • Which, according to Infowars, should be used

  • to let Bill know you're in the crowd

  • and that you know the truth.

  • That truth, by the way...

  • You just spent six dollars on a whistle.

  • Oh, that's right we bought this and by the way our order came

  • with a free "9-11 was an inside job"

  • -bumper sticker... -(CROWD GROANING)

  • ...that we most assuredly did not ask for. And look...

  • radio hosts doing ads is not inherently unusual,

  • but since 2013, Jones has increasingly focused

  • on promoting his own products, which he sells on his site

  • under his Infowars Life brand,

  • particularly, vitamins and nutraceuticals,

  • which I believe are the result of the word, "nutrition"

  • fucking the word "pharmaceutical" from behind.

  • (BED CREAKING)

  • I'm pretty sure that's what it is,

  • but this-- this is a big part of Jones' business.
