The information Alex Jones claims to have about war comes from secondhand sources like Joe Rogan and Lex Friedman.

Alex has been out with Rogan the night before, having some drinks, along with Lex Friedman and Michael Malice. The information that Alex allegedly has, it comes from them, secondhand, which Alex is very clear about on the 20th. There I was at dinner last night, and then went out and saw one of the shows with Joe Rogan and Lex Friedman and Michael Malice. That was quite a... Quite a group of people there. And this is all just foregone conclusion. We all know it. There's no debating it. It's out in the open. And we just sat there and discussed what it's going to be like going through this. And I learned a lot of interesting intel from those guys that I won't say on air because they all have their own little intel. So this is an instance of Alex using one of his regular strategies, which is basically just a combination of escalation and obscuring things. On the 20th, he tells a story of being out with Rogan and a couple of his weirdo friends, and over drinks they talk about how they feel like war is coming. Then, on the 21st, Alex embellishes this story to be about all these high-level sources he's talking to, when in reality it's just a continuation of a story from the day prior, which is why he needs to insist that he's not just talking about Rogan. Alex does this a lot We've seen instances of him taking information That a caller gives him one day Which he then goes on to report Is coming from an unnamed high level source The next day I guess what Alex probably wants the audience to think is that, at a minimum... This is something that Elon Musk has told Rogan, and then Rogan's told Alex, but it doesn't really matter. The information he's providing doesn't come from any high-level source, and more importantly, the prediction that he's made based on that fake intel hasn't come true.

Alex Jones relies on YouTube comments as a source for determining truth and public opinion.

But I think the most important takeaway, I think, is that Alex got caught up spending hours reading YouTube comments. He's a 45-year-old man who pretends he does real research, and somehow he feels like YouTube comments are in any way a barometer of truth or public opinion. That would legit be like me saying something Trump did was bad, then saying that I read a bunch of Twitter responses as proof of it, and still trying to maintain that I was at all a serious person.

Roger Stone's information source for Alex Jones has been Steve Bannon.

There's just a clip that indicates that it's absolutely obvious that Roger Stone's source for a lot of the information he was feeding to Alex over the course of the last year and a half has been straight from Bannon because they now start using the narratives that didn't work in the past to throw Bannon under the bus.

Alex Jones cited population statistics about Africa and Latin America that were originally provided to him by David Duke.

Jesse's killing it, but also the thing that I think is really important and why I kept that last part in, Alex is citing statistics verbatim that David Duke cited to him. No shit. Those statistics about Africa's population growing in Latin America, those are things that David Duke said to him. Wow. The day before. He is like this weird information sponge and doesn't realize where information is coming to him from. He's citing David Duke's white nationalist positions in an argument that really has nothing to do with what they're talking about, where Jesse Ventura is dancing circles around him.
