Like, he is a racist and that kind of shit.

He's a fucking clown.

Yeah, no, I do think that there was a boring period and it might have maybe we just needed a reminder of like what an exploitative piece of shit this dude is.

I think Alex is just a coward. I think he's scared of opening this box.

Alex has no faith. Nope. Alex is a coward and he is weak.

He's a compulsive liar who has no problem misleading you when it serves his ego to do so.

It's all everyone should need to see to know that he has no spine. There's no principles here.

He operates this way because he's a moral coward.

I think this is what I'm wrestling with a little bit, because ultimately, I think Alex is a moral coward. The election kind of makes this become a... A bit acute and way more obvious. Like, it's bringing out the desperate shithead inside of him to the surface. Trump is saying that there's these really sick people, these radical left people, and maybe we need to use the military, right? This should be red alert for Alex. This should be like, oh my god, fucking tyrant on the march. But it's not, because he doesn't give a shit about the idea of using the military as a domestic police force. He cares where it's targeted. And that's always been the case. Yeah. So he's a fraud.

Someone like Alex is obviously an insincere bad actor. Yeah. But even he's been all over the place.

But he's not actually able to rise to any challenge that involves information or his brain. Anytime he's in a situation like that, he folds or tries to turn it into a physical confrontation.

The other reason is that Alex isn't up to the task of arguing a sticky point. If it's possible that the members of the band made some mistakes themselves, it's so much harder for Alex to make his argument because he's lazy. They have to have done nothing wrong, and the state oppressed them anyway.

Well, in the sense that he's a loser, liar, drunk.

And that term has stuck with me a little bit. This kind of behavior out of Alex's, you're not on the team, man. This is your impulse and your instinct of what to do in the wake of a tragedy. You're not on the team, man. You're up for yourself.

But every time he's like, it's us, humanity against the evil power. It cannot be understated. Alex. As actively working against team humanity.

If there were aliens who were like, how do we destroy the human race? They'd be like, first off, we're going to hire Alex. Because he's clearly already on our team.

He is also somebody who you don't need to loop in on plans. I don't need to tell him shit. He can be manipulated somewhat easily.

I think, honestly, even that, you solve that problem, you figure out why Alex is popular. He's a rich guy who's just lying to everybody.

Yeah, and he wants people who are experiencing homelessness to have a harder time. Yeah. He has no mercy within him.

And that is like with Alex. He's a fucking monster who puts out hateful, bigoted material.

You know, that he is, he is, I mean, he is dangerous in so many ways, but it's also, this is the mind of a child. It's just a child's mind, and it's just pretty simple what's going on. And it's, I guess, very effective for those who are in. But there's really not much to it.

I mean, I've talked with John Ronson, the Welsh filmmaker who spent a lot of time with Alex Jones from way back. And he thinks that he was a different person before. That earlier on, he was not the kind of person who could do something like that.

But I think that a lot of the stuff, let's say the bigotry and the denial of stuff. Those colonels were there in his earlier career. It's just maybe with money and power, he had more to protect and more need to accelerate and be a more dramatic and interesting person. Because once you start to make money off being, I don't know, a shithead, it doesn't... Excite the audience as much to maintain that same level. You kind of have to escalate in order to keep people's attention. I think that business model maybe he became a slave to, but I think a fair amount of those tendencies were already there.

We learn that he's a giant racist.

Here's the way I would articulate what you're saying. Yeah. Recognize the ways in which this guy is a coward and he's using false information in order to enable his cowardice and his business grift.

If true, Alex is a rank coward. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I know he's lying, but even if you take everything he's saying seriously, he's so afraid of getting a copyright lawsuit that he can't save the world.

Sometimes he's wrong, and when he's wrong, he's apologizing. He's a possibility for it. You know, he's so straight up about that. Sir, way more than these other people in the media. And you know, they never print corrections for outbursts. People judge him for his outbursts, but he comes to me. We talk privately, and he's a good guy.

He is too much of a coward to ever even come close to doing something like that. And so whenever you give him that kind of like, I'm sure part of the reason that he wants to do this is just so he can be like, see, look at how, look at how strong people think I am. Look at how much people think I could be running everything if only I weren't so much of a giant fucking coward. Coward and, I mean, just a stumble bum. Yeah, yeah. Like it's good for the brand and it's a business and all that stuff. But I mean, ultimately, I really don't think he has the courage to do something like that.

And to me, what I'm seeing from all of this totality now is just a man who just doesn't give a fuck if it's true or not or whatever. He's not lying. He just doesn't care. You know? He's just beyond lying or not lying. He's just making up his own reality that he exists in from a moment-to-moment point of view.

Saying that you're a fun guy to hang around with, and people always say, man, you're friends with Alex Jones? Is that a bummer? And I'm like, no, man. Alex Jones is a cool guy. We have a good time. Last night we went to Fogo to chow. We had some delicious meat. It was awesome. We had a great time. Then we went out to the comedy club. We went out to dinner afterwards. We had a great time. We hung out. We had a lot of laughs. There was no doom and gloom. It was like, man, hanging out with Alex Jones must be a bummer. The dude's always talking about the end of the world and vaccines robbing your soul.

But I do worry about his malleability. The fact that he can have these people, the Boogaloos, that he decided were a FBI cutout group. Yep. And he said he'd proved all this. And then have two of them on to manipulate him and embarrass him in different ways.

I guess what I'm getting at is that Alex Jones is a coward. He's not even willing to live his beliefs the way his forefathers would have. Totally. He knows that it looks pretty racist to be opposed to Martin Luther King these days, so he just conveniently pretends that that's not part of his big worldview.

Alex, you've answered your own question. You just refuse to take responsibility for it. Exactly, because he's a giant coward like Rand Paul.

I honestly think Alex is lazy enough that if it were actually easier, he would probably do it.

Alex, on the other hand, has no principles. Nothing matters. And so when G. Edward Griffin gives him some sort of pushback on like, yeah, you know, Biden's a weak candidate because the establishment and the globalists want Trump to be in power. Alex will create an entirely new storyline.

Well, it's because Alex doesn't care about life. No, I know. That's another issue. Yeah. A nihilist, solipsist, narcissist on air is bad. Well, I mean, people who really care about mental health issues would care about someone whose politics were different than them who was struggling. Absolutely. You know? Yeah. And Alex doesn't. No. I mean, think of... The deaths of despair are... Well, that's another thing. Yeah, I mean, that is such a... So many overdoses, so many suicides by gun, like... And Alex talks about that a lot. Yeah, and that is shit that is like... How can you even treat that as... I don't care what political side you're on. How can you treat that as anything other than as a human health crisis? And he just doesn't give a shit because he wants more people to have guns.

Anyway, the point is that Alex is a piece of shit. His ex-wife has said that he was abusive. And now we have his current wife calling the police because of a protracted fight that had been physical at one point, leading to him getting arrested for a DUI. And then, of course, Alex turns around and he's trying to play the victim here on his show because he's a narcissistic monster who takes things out on his audience.

As much as I hate him and as much as I think that he is a toxic, cancerous thing in the world, he's clearly expressing a life that is full of chaos and hurt.

It is that Alex is a psychopath and he is manipulating people's emotions.

There's a truth to it in as much as he creates his own problems.

This is one of the more damning instances of Alex making an argument defending racist and sexist abuse being hurled at people, but framing it as if he's just standing up for right-wingers. Alex is a coward. He wants people of ethnic minorities and women to shut up and deal with whatever comes their way, but he doesn't think that he can make his place in the market work if he's an open racist or sexist.

He loves that he can throw a grenade at these people and watch it explode from a safe distance. This illustrates a cruel and sadistic streak in Alex, but it also kind of shows that Alex really doesn't give a shit about Dan Badanti. He's a thing to Alex, a beast to release on people, but not somebody who he really values that much outside of his destructive capacity.

So we have one last clip here, and it's Alex and Barnes talking about how crazed and backed into the corner Democrats are. But if you really listen to this, listen carefully, it sounds like a perfect description of Alex.

I'm beginning to consider the possibility that the appearance of stupidity is cover for the evil. I'm not saying this is the case because this would be a crazy thing to just say with no real definitive evidence. Yeah. But I wouldn't be totally surprised if Alex's whole being dumb is an act at this point.

He is. He's not responsible enough to sit with the adults.

He's just deteriorating into a complete monster, but I already know he's a monster, so there isn't much revelation of things.

But if you are the person in power... You gotta know this person, like, Alex is gonna turn on you. Oh, yeah. In the same way that Alex should know that Trump doesn't give a fuck about him. Yeah. Like, you gotta know that Alex is, like, if things are going good for him on May 2nd, he thinks that you should start a dictatorship. On May 3rd, if he gets kicked off Facebook and Instagramming, you haven't... Fucking done your dictator shit to get him back. He's going to be suspicious of you. That's the kind of inconsistency and self-centeredness that Alex operates in.

Oh, Alex is lying. And people who remember him, they didn't like him. Yeah. They didn't like him. Yeah. So I think that's it? I think I got it? I think so. I think that was probably... Oh, and he's a monster.

But his whole brand of what he does is so completely devoid of empathy, which is why he's able to do such terrible shit like he did to the Sandy Hook families. Because he cuts that out of his work almost entirely.

And no, there's no real moment where he shows genuine care for the people who were the victims of this outside of crocodile tears on the verge of his fake crying voice. But it's always talking about how they're going to take the guns and this is going to cause a civil war. He does talk about, oh, this is so bad in unspecific ways. And then there's one point in the episode where he talks about thinking about these kids and he's seen pictures from the school from a month ago or something like that someone posted. And the only way he can even emotionally connect to it is thinking about his own daughter. So if that's what it takes you to get there, fine. But there is a complete absence of, except from people who aren't named Alex on this show. Yeah. There's a guest that comes up and at least one caller who expressed like, I can't imagine what these people are going through, that sort of thing. But from Alex, there's very, very little of that.

And I wouldn't take it all that seriously, probably. Because he's a liar. And he may have killed a guy.
