The art piece 'For the Love of God' is a skull covered in rhinestones and diseased semen.

And I said, they were talking about art displays where people would pay $50 million for a skull with some rhinestones on it that somebody with leprosy jacked off on, you know, stuff like that. And I was like, why would you spend $50 million on something so ugly and pathetic? And the guy looked at me and he goes, you don't get it, Alex, do you? That's religious. That $50 million could feed hundreds of thousands of African starving children. And the fact that they gave it to some weird degenerate artist for a skull with rhinestones, not even real diamonds. A skull maybe worth $500. And then they metaphorically... Gave their seed to death, not to a woman to create life. It was worshipping death. It was a death offering, a death cult offering of $54 million, the newspaper, to a semen-covered skull.

The art piece 'For the Love of God' is a platinum cast covered with 8,601 real diamonds.

So, he's talking about this sculpture called For the Love of God. And it was created by an artist named Damien Hirst in 2007. Oh, I've heard of him. So, what he did was he took a skull... I'm very continental. Yeah, very. So, he took a skull and he made a cast of it and then made a platinum cast of the skull. Right. And covered it with 8,601 actual flawless diamonds. Not Alex Jones' fake diamonds. Nope. 8,601 real diamonds.

The name 'For the Love of God' is a reference to a quote from Damien Hirst's mother, not religious worship.

The name of the work, in case you were thinking it is some sort of religious thing, For the Love of God being the name of it, it's based on a quote from his mom. Damien Hirst's mom would see his art and she would say, For the Love of God, what are you going to do next? Right. And so it's a reference to his mom's quote. It has nothing to do necessarily with actual God.
