Alex Jones's rhetoric about being an instrument of God's vengeance provides preemptive absolution for violence against political opponents.

And you're calling for God's vengeance against people who politically disagree with you. It is the sort of thing where you are almost intentionally hoping that someone is in such a state of mind where they believe that they're hearing God's calling to them to be that instrument. Right. quotes, this is not an acceptable way to carry yourself. This is the sort of thing where you are almost certainly hoping to find someone suggestible and plant that suggestion. Absolutely. This isn't a valid religious conversation. It's not a valid... I don't even know what other category to put it in. Political conversation? It's not a valid conversation to be having on a show. I think it probably is legal, but I do think that should things go bad, that is the sort of clip that needs to be taken very seriously. If someone is to hurt someone that Alex is demonizing and putting a big target on, and you know, oh, what do you know? They listen to InfoWars a lot. I think that clip is very relevant. Clips like that are very relevant because they're giving the audience, who may be suggestible... The excuse that they need to take action.
