Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes dissect Alex Jones’ March 5–10, 2020, coronavirus panic—his debunked claims (HIV ties, 2.36M U.S. deaths by July) and reliance on fringe sources like Anthony Hall (Holocaust denier) and Holocaust-denying "True News" pundit Rick Wiles. Jones deflects blame for his DUI arrest, mocking consequences while promoting silver products and violent fantasies against China/globalists, all framed as divine justice. His performative exhaustion and self-victimization expose manipulative storytelling, with minimal real-world accountability ensuring no change in behavior. [Automatically generated summary]
So we start here on the 5th, and this is how Alex actually does start off the show, talking about how maybe mass hysteria around an outbreak, maybe it's inevitable.
You don't need to go into that restaurant that has four cars in it to find out there's a meth head running it and they're dealing drugs out of the back.
And I'm not even entirely sure what point he's trying to make and how it connects, but I just take issue with this because my favorite Thai place is always empty.
Anyway, Alex talks about this Lancet study, if you'll recall.
Up to this point, he's been using that Lancet study that looked at just a couple of very extreme cases of folks who had already developed from the virus into the pneumonia stage.
And they were looking at a small subsection of people, and they predicted a 15% mortality rate.
Excuse me, not predicted.
They said there was that of this small sample size.
Alex has been using that to say that Lancet was saying that the whole world would have a 15% mortality rate from the virus.
You know, you don't know that she admits that they're trying to sell Hillary to flutter in as the VP, and then he has a stroke.
Like other presidents have had Woodrow Wilson that brought us the New World Order first, and then in there's Hillary because there's a cult of Hillary in the bureaucracy and a messianic vision that she's supposed to take over and rule everyone.
These leftists still believe in the cult of Hillary.
I mean, it's not to say that there isn't any support for Hillary.
No, no.
I'm not saying that that's what you're saying, but this is outrageous, the levels to which Alex wants to be fighting Hillary again.
And he can't just be like, all right, I'll critique her documentary or whatever.
He wants to actually pretend it's the halls of power he's fighting over with her.
So in that clip a couple back, he was talking about the, when he was talking about the Lancet thing, he's like, if it's 5% mortality rate, I'm getting out of here.
Well, I mean, I told my personal assistant three months ago, I said the time has come before this.
I said, I just have a feeling that things are dangerous with the economy.
And even if Trump wins, I got to get a farmhouse 100 miles middle of nowhere around no towns in the crappiest brush area where no one even knows where I'm at.
How do you just load it with storable food and an underground safe with guns in it just to have that covered?
That's why nothing ever gets checked, and it just things just keep proceeding onward down the dumb path at its own.
So Alex gets a ways through the show, and he hasn't made note of the fact that he's shaved his dumb head yet.
And he brings it up, but he refuses to say that he's bald or that he shaved his head.
He's trying to tease the audience by mentioning that his appearance is different, but he wants you to go to his own website so you could see it for yourself.
If you haven't seen a friend for a month and they just show up with a mustache and don't tell you about the mustache, all you're looking at them is just like, dude, what's with the mustache?
What I think is going on is Alex is trying to use the idea that he looks like something different to tease anyone who might be listening on shortwave or on the radio to go to his website.
I got up this morning and I said, what can I do to note to everybody that we're in a very serious time now that we're already making jokes?
And, well, it's what we've done here on air.
If you're a radio listener, you might want to go to infowars.com forward slash show or newswars.com forward slash show and check it out and share that link.
A little something different here on the set of the radio/slash TV transmission today.
And I'm going to leave it at that.
I told the crew not to really make a note of it, but they had their beluga joke ready, so I let them go with it.
I must look like a beluga because I already thought of myself.
The coronavirus news is so intense, so horrible, so scary for me that I'm eating around the edges of it like a not-so-hungry caterpillar and not getting into it, but it's killing a lot of people around the world.
So yesterday on Fox News, they had a doctor on that said, hey, I expect to get this and you should too.
But unless you're old, don't worry about it.
So what would happen if we know that the biggest transfer of wealth in the country is going to occur as the older generation passes, the baby boomer generation passes?
What if the government was able to receive some of that money, i.e., have a huge crisis with this coronavirus thing?
So Alex gets to, there's a weird trend that goes on throughout some of this time, and that is that Alex has now descended into a place where he's threatening to murder people if any of his family members get coronavirus.
So leaving aside that Alex doesn't even have the most basic understanding of how HIV works, I wanted to explain what he's talking about when he says that the virus has an HIV delivery system.
This is just him not understanding the difference between the furin cleavage and the ACE2 cleavage situation.
In the past, viruses like the coronaviruses were taken in by the body through ACE2 sites, cleaving the virus.
But the quirk of this one, according to that one report, that one study, was that it appears to cleave with furin sites, which is also true of HIV.
This is not the same thing as the coronavirus having an HIV delivery system or anything like that.
It's just a different way that things are absorbed into the body.
There are many things that use furin cleavage other than HIV, from the normal flu to Ebola, from dengue fever to anthrax.
Alex is pretending that the coronavirus has something from HIV added to it, but in reality, he just doesn't understand the topic he's covering at all.
Also, there's literally zero evidence that this coronavirus is man-made.
There's no evidence that it's a ton of different viruses in one.
That's all just a product of Alex's demented imagination that he's reporting as fact to his audience.
The article he uses to prove that Obama sold the virus to China proves literally nothing of the sort.
When he says that there was a big stir when Obama did that, what he's lying about is the fact that he found an article about a lab in North Carolina experimenting with giving a coronavirus gain of function in terms of that ACE 2 cleavage and how there was a debate in the scientific community about whether or not experiments like that were ethical.
He can provide literally zero evidence to support those claims that he makes, that there was a big debate about Obama selling the virus to China because it never happened.
It's a lie.
That being said, I think Alex is trying to threaten to kill Obama if one of his relatives die of the coronavirus, but he also doesn't want to say that on air because that might involve another conversation with a lawyer.
And one of the things that you'll see over the course of these episodes is that there is a crystallization of it down to just these blunt talking points where it's Obama sold the virus.
It's man-made.
There's no debate about it.
This has been determined.
This is decided.
And just like a dogged persistence and repetition of it.
Alex spends a not insignificant portion of this show expounding on how the man and the globalists want everyone to think he's off the air, but he's not.
Every day he meets people who think that he's off air, but then he tells them they can still find him on Infowars website and they're so happy to hear it.
This caller is what kicks that off, that whole rant.
And I have a few thoughts.
First is that I don't care what you're playing.
If you're walking around in a store listening to things without headphones, you're a fucking asshole.
If it's music, you're an asshole.
If it's a liberal talk show, you're an asshole.
If it's Alex Jones, a man who's known to launch into rants about demons raping children with little warning, you're a bigger asshole.
He talked about casting Mike Bloomberg on a gay gangbang video on the last show.
You can't play that in public.
No matter what this guy's story is about, if it starts with him casually mentioning that he was listening to Alex's show at a Costco without headlines, fuck this dude.
He's an asshole.
Second, there have been a lot of points made about how panic buying of things you don't need to panic buy is probably one of the more damaging things people can do right now.
It's the disruption of the demand chain that can have just as many negative consequences as the supply chain disruptions can have.
And based on this guy saying he was stocking up on toilet paper, I'm going to say that he was not engaging in responsible preparation.
I have no idea how much he was buying, but it wasn't a good sign.
Finally, and most importantly, if you've been on air for 26 years and you've built up a fan base that decides that you must be completely off air because you get kicked off social media, something that didn't even exist when your career began, then I don't know what to tell you.
Something is wrong with that fan base.
Either they're so hopeless that they can't find your shit unless it's shoveled right in front of their faces, or they didn't like you enough to seek you out once the YouTube algorithms weren't constantly pushing your videos on them.
Either way, that's not a solid fan base.
And I wouldn't blame the globalists for that.
That's just the byproduct of making a dumb show that attracts a fickle type of crowd.
So right now, there's no evidence that mosquitoes can carry or transmit the coronavirus.
And there's a very good chance that it's just not even possible.
There's actually a good teachable moment here.
Mosquitoes can transmit things like Ebola, malaria, dengue fever, primarily because those things can infect the mosquitoes themselves.
The only thing that a mosquito puts into a person when it bites them is their saliva.
So no matter what blood they have ingested, it doesn't matter.
That's not what's going to get transmitted to the bit person.
This is because there's a two-tube proboscis that a mosquito uses to feed on your blood.
One tube is the intake tube that sucks your blood, and you don't get exposed to anything from that.
It's a one-way street.
The other tube is used to inject saliva that makes you like not feel the bite and gives you itchy, itchiness.
So the saliva of the mosquito is the vector that you need to be concerned with for the potential of mosquito-borne illnesses.
This is one of the reasons that HIV cannot be spread by mosquitoes.
They don't possess the correct cells in their body to serve as hosts for the HIV, and thus it doesn't survive in mosquitoes and can't be transmitted through their saliva.
Historically, diseases in the coronavirus family, such as MERS and SARS, those aren't things that are known to be spread by mosquitoes.
At this point, all experts I can find who have commented on the matter are uniform in the position that there's no evidence right now that this is a vector of transmission that we're seeing or are likely to see.
Mosquito-borne diseases are no joke, though, and they're a very serious threat in certain circumstances.
You know, every time Alex's callers call in, we get a nice little like magic school bus segment on this show where it's like, all right, he came up with some terrible ideas.
Now let's go inside the body and discover how it is that people actually work.
Then Alex says that Trump is engaged in and complicit with this government cover-up of the virus situation involving suppressing the country's testing capabilities.
This is a literal government cover-up of a public health crisis that Alex is describing, and he says he can't fault Trump for doing it.
His idea is that Trump is trying to protect the stock market.
So apparently, if that's the justification, anything can be done.
Covering up a pandemic and allowing it to get worse, putting the public at risk, it's okay because Trump was trying to protect money.
Then Alex complains that the left is using this against Trump, just like he predicted.
So apparently, if Trump is engaged in a conspiracy cover-up that could literally kill Americans because he knows that a bad stock market will make him look bad and jeopardize his chances in the election, and the media dares point out the ways that his administration has not responded well to the outbreak, the media is bad.
So Francis Boyle shows his bona fides and his resistance to reading by indicating that he believes that that North Carolina lab, that the UNC Chapel Hill created the virus.
Yes, I do think this was an offensive biological warfare weapon that was originally developed there at the University of North Carolina lab using the SARS coronavirus, which was already weaponized to begin with and endowing it with gang of function properties.
Indeed, it even travels through air, Alex.
It's not just a question of droplets.
That's why human excrement can spread this disease.
We've had reports of that coming out of Hong Kong and China now.
First of all, it's embarrassing that Francis Boyle is still pushing this conspiracy about the lab at UNC Chapel Hill creating the coronavirus.
We've been over this in great detail, but that is just a complete misreading of a study from 2015.
He's presenting himself as an expert.
He has every reason to know that that study has nothing to do with this current outbreak.
He also should know the difference between airborne transmission and fecal-oral transmission of a virus.
The possibility that the coronavirus can be transmitted by fecal-oral contact means that you should wash your hands after going to the bathroom or handling poo.
There are some indications that this virus may transmit that way, as was also the case with SARS.
So it's appropriate to exercise caution on that front.
However, this does not qualify as airborne transmission.
Just because the virus can be transmitted through feces doesn't mean that being around feces is going to transmit the virus.
If Merkel's minister didn't want to shake hands, that isn't an indication that it's – That would be an indication that human contact is what they're concerned about.
I don't believe we can trust this team there in Washington, D.C., this team of feds who are up to their eyeballs in this to properly advise the American people on how to protect themselves and their families from this.
I would suggest that what needs to be done is the American people have to get organized on a state and local basis, even going down to cities and communities and villages and whatever, and put together a team of experts, medical doctor, microbiologists, public health official,
and be sure to do your due diligence on them and make sure that they have not accepted one penny of Nazi biological warfare work from the United States States government because otherwise they're going to sabotage whatever you're trying to do.
It gets muddy when you start throwing in nobody who's ever been involved in any research that has like a federal government grant, nobody who's even worked with the World Health Organization or the CDC, none of those people.
What you got to do is you got to get together with your small community, get the family doctor, who is, of course, an expert in coronavirus, as we all know, the microbiologist that most small towns have, naturally, and along with public health officials that are well paid for by no money.
You just need 100,000 Francis Boyles all over this country setting things up.
So we have this last clip here from the fifth.
And what's going on here is, if you'll recall, back at the end of January, when Alex was pitching theories about the virus, one of his theories was that it was the deep state or Trump that released a bioweapon on China as payback for fentanyl.
Yeah, the problem with having a centralized enemy who does everything that you say you're against is if you change what you're against, then they are also changing what they're against.
The more and more you peel back the layers on this shit, the more you see that Alex is just completely relying on Mike to supply him with information that then he can then launder.
And say, you know, like, he doesn't say that Mike created this estimate.
He's trying to present it as like a very official release from a credible source.
And to be clear, Alex does later clarify that this is Mike's model, but he establishes it at the top of the show as just this new computer model with millions dead, which isn't not cool.
You want to know how unethical it is for Alex to use Mike's model like this?
Mike Adams' own article about the modeling he did on his website literally says, quote, the model is not yet peer-reviewed and should not be cited as predictions or facts.
Alex reposted this article on Infowar, so I guess he just forgot to read that part.
So also the article says, quote, this model predicts a scenario where nothing is done to contain the virus.
In reality, this model is therefore not predictive for the real world over the long run for the simple reason that such strong interventions are inevitable.
It's almost like this model was created solely to give Alex a headline to cover and scare his audience about, while he ignores the part about this not being predictive in the real world.
And it just shows how many deaths Mike thinks will happen if literally nothing is done, which is not going to happen.
I was able to find an article from February 14th on Stat News about computer modeling of the virus outbreak.
According to this article, the most recent figures showed a range of 550,000 to 4.4 million cases of the virus in simulations.
But it's important to note these are cases, not deaths.
The article also points out that modeling is often accurate, but it's also often not.
For instance, the 2014 CDC model for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa predicted between 550,000 and 1.4 million cases, but the actual number ended up being way lower at 28,600.
I'm not going to engage too much with the computer modeling side of things primarily because there's a wide range of numbers you can get on that front, and I don't think it's useful to people who aren't in positions where those models are useful for their work.
For you and I, and most people listening, it's an abstract number without a greater context of what the model is simulating.
Way more important to me is that here on March 6th, Alex is back to using that 15% number from Lancet as if it was a total mortality projection.
But the day prior, he understood that it was severe cases that were already pneumonia in a very small sample size.
Alex has no idea what he's talking about.
He uses sources however he feels, depending on what feeling he's trying to evoke from his audience.
He shows an understanding of the limitations of the Lancet study on Thursday.
Then he's using it to scare people on Friday.
The fact that he showed that awareness on Thursday leaves me convinced that on Friday, he's consciously lying to his audience about what that number really means.
He's consciously and intentionally lying to his audience to scare them about the outbreak, which is what normal humans call hysteria.
So that funding bill wasn't a declaration of an emergency, no matter how much Alex might want to pretend.
That was a bill that was rushed through Congress that Trump signed.
It was not a declaration of anything.
It's just authorization to fund billions of dollars to be used in developing treatments and help public health measures.
The only person who voted against this bill in the Senate was, you guessed it, Alex's old buddy Rand Paul, shows himself to be more and more of a dick every day.
Trump has not declared a national emergency, neither public nor secret.
There was a public health emergency that was declared back at the end of January, but that's a very different thing, as we discussed in our last episode.
Alex is just making this shit up and lying to his audience about this emergency funding bill in order to further his convoluted and contradictory narrative about what Trump is doing.
It just doesn't get more authoritarian than like blaming the media for criticizing Trump for doing a bad job, while at the same time insisting that he's secretly doing a good job, even though all evidence suggests that he's doing a bad job.
And you yourself claim that he's in a cover-up of him doing such a bad job.
A lot of people have made accusations that Trump cut the CDC's budget, and here you see Alex mirroring that claim and presenting it as a thing that Trump did to cut off their bioweapon production money.
The CDC was furious that he cut their budget, so they bungled their response to the coronavirus as payback.
Just from a narrative standpoint, this is putting a hat on a hat.
Alex already has the whole of the globalists release the bioweapon to crash the economy and embarrass Trump narrative going, there's no reason to add a subplot about scientists being mad about a decreased budget.
So the main problem here is that Trump didn't cut the CDC's funding.
That's a myth that people keep repeating, but it's not true.
It would be true to say that until he signed that emergency funding bill, there wasn't enough money going to the right places.
And until he declares a national emergency, a lot of the funds that could be used for all this stuff, those funds are unavailable because they can only be used in those circumstances.
In his proposed budget for the fiscal year 2021, there's apparently an approximately 16% decrease in the CDC's budget.
But this budget has not yet been approved by Congress and thus is not active.
Many folks, including some Democratic presidential candidates, have got details wrong on this, and thus lots of people think Trump actually cut funds for the CDC, including people like Alex and Mike Adams, apparently.
There are a bunch of other things in play here that are just more kind of stupidity and negligence than outright malicious action on Trump's part.
For instance, in 2018, the capabilities of the CDC's global disease outbreak prevention efforts were reduced by 80%.
A lot of people interpreted that as Trump cutting 80% of their budget, but in reality, it was the result of the existing allotted funds for that program running out and Trump and Congress not making sure that it was fully funded.
That seems like a negligence thing.
You could argue that it's just semantics, that that is cutting the budget.
Sure, sure, sure.
But it's not quite the same.
Also, in 2018, Rear Admiral Timothy Zemer, the senior director for global health security and biodefense in the National Security Council, was removed from his position and his whole team was disbanded.
According to Snopes, they are people who are, quote, responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic.
And after the firing, Zemer was not replaced, and the team remained disbanded.
I really think that that makes them the most evil people in history.
The CDC if they were like, ah, if any human being was like, okay, fine, I'm just going to let the world get fucked up by a virus because I needed 2 billion more in funding for the fiscal year of 2020.
So Mike has this model that is 2 point something million dead if nothing is done, but nothing is done is not a conceivable thing that will happen in reality.
Right.
The model is useless, except as a way to put a big number here to scare people for Alex.
But Mike actually believes that the numbers are way worse.
So if I understand the narrative as it's being presented now, the Chinese government released the bioweapon on themselves in order to help further the goals of the CDC who were mad because their funding was cut.
How many goddamn moving pieces does this stupid conspiracy have?
Also, you'll hear there at the end, Alex trying to explain how the, I think he's trying to explain the outbreak in Iran, saying that Islamicists infected themselves, or possibly that's his explanation for how it just got to other countries.
He's unclear about what he's talking about at this point.
And again, if I were an editor, and I was like, this is a draft screenplay, I would say go ahead and cut out the Islamic terrorist subplot.
You don't need that to explain the spread of a virus.
It happens naturally when appropriate steps aren't taken.
So it turns out Alex was talking about Italy when he decided to blame Muslims for spreading the virus.
He's just straight up making things up.
The first cases of coronavirus in Italy were a Chinese couple from Wuhan who arrived in Italy on January 23rd.
Alex's racist narrative is based on a misrepresentation of a story about a Pakistani man living in Italy who apparently did not quarantine himself after testing positive for the virus.
The circumstances of his story are not clear, so I can't speak to that.
But it's a gigantic leap for someone to make that this person's intention was to infect people.
The story was published first in an Italian outlet called Ankoros on February 29th.
It covered this Pakistani man, but at no point did it claim that this man was the first person in the country with the coronavirus.
That story was then used as a source for a story in the, quote, pro-West blog, Free West Media, with the headline, quote, Italy's patient zero, migrant who delivered food at homes.
They completely added the patient zero thing to the story, which was not reflected in their initial source because this is a blog dedicated to demonizing non-white immigrants.
Fun trivia, Alex's old buddy, Paul Craig Roberts, is a contributor to Free West Media, which should surprise no one since he was also a writer for the white nationalist publication V-DARE from 2000 to 2013.
So from that point, after this story was embellished, it was picked up and gained subtraction in white nationalist circles.
But honestly, even the comments on Free West media don't seem to buy the story, with one of them calling it fake.
This is, as so often the case, one more piece of evidence that Alex gets his news from completely racist sources than ones that don't engage in any kind of fact-checking and also often sometimes lie to push a racist agenda.
Also, I guess, you know, in order for Alex's narrative to make any sense, there have to be Pakistani Islamist sleeper cells employed as food delivery people in Italy who are working with the Chinese government in order to embarrass Trump and the CDC is involved too because they want their money.
We're out here covering the idea that the virus is man-made.
We're out here covering the claim that Obama sold it to China.
We're just using Alex's own sources to show he's full of shit.
I started to have, like, when I was listening to this, I started to have some like flight of fancies where it's just me insisting he read his own sources on air, and then you bark at him.
If I was retired and didn't have to be in Austin, I would already be preparing the next few weeks to leave because it's exponential.
And so if it is as bad as they say, and we hope it isn't, then, I mean, as soon as possible.
unidentified
Okay, well, here's what I worry about when I watch your show.
I try to take my cues from y'all, but I still see you sending Owen and Savannah and Millie and Caitlin and all them out to these rallies and conventions, and they're not wearing masks, and it doesn't look like they're very prepared around thousands of people.
So in the same way that Alex has been really preoccupied with really trivial matters, those headlines that he read on the last episode, Mike Bloomberg's eating habits.
New York Times editor and Brian Williams humiliated after suggesting each American could have received $1 million from Bloomberg's 500 million ad spend.
Wash the journalist responds to humiliating 1 million for every American fail because they were the one that first created it saying the 500 million he spent, he could give every American a million dollars.
500 million does not give 327 million people a million dollars.
It gives 500 that, but they're doubling down.
They say he could easily afford to give everyone in America a million dollars.
That was their point, she says.
Well, I knew that was her point, so that's why I said without knowing that was their idiot point, that if he has $78 billion and you divide that by $327 million, here we go.
So for a lot of the episode, Alex has been trying to score some points on the mainstream media by making fun of a segment Brian Williams did with Mara Gay, where they incorrectly asserted that instead of giving and spending what he did on ads, Bloomberg could have given everyone in the United States a million dollars.
It was very embarrassing, and pretty much everyone clowned on the segment.
But Alex is using it as some kind of proof that the media is evil and trying to change math or something.
So what it really is, is a high-profile example of someone in the media getting something wrong in a very elementary way.
And Alex knows that he has to make the most of it.
China and the globalists might be his imaginary enemies, but from a dollar standpoint, his real rivals are any other things people might watch.
And this gives him a chance to attack those things.
So anyway, this segment was Williams and Gay discussing a tweet posted by Washington Post writer Makita Rivas, which got the math wrong, which then they mirrored.
In the aftermath of this segment, Rivas tweeted that she meant Bloomberg could have given everyone a million dollars and not notice it from all of his money, which is also incorrect.
All in all, this is just an embarrassing showing for everyone involved.
So Bloomberg spent $500 million on the campaign, but you wouldn't know that if you read Paul's article.
Quote, with math obviously not being Rivas' strong point, it was immediately pointed out that Bloomberg's $500 billion doled out to all 327 million Americans would mean they got just $1.53 each.
Whoops.
Looks like old PJW fucked up the math of his own on that post where he's making fun of other people fucking up their math.
500 billion divided by 327 million is 1,529, not 1.53.
Obviously, Paul meant 500 million, but this should be a prime example of one, how trivial the bullshit is that these guys spend their time yelling about.
And two, how little editorial work is done by anyone in the Infowars orbit.
The story Alex is talking about is about a big gang of youths attacking a 15-year-old in New York and stealing her shoes.
I watched the video and it's horrifying, but you can't tell the race of the victim from the video.
From the angle of the surveillance footage, her face is blocked by a binder that she's using to protect herself.
I read a bunch of articles about the story and nowhere can I find any information about her race.
And from everything I can tell, there's no reason to jump to the conclusion that this was a racial attack.
The perpetrators have been arrested and questioned.
And as it turns out, the victim went to school with them and they jumped her because she'd beaten up another girl who they were friends with earlier in the day.
There's literally no reason to see this as a racially motivated attack unless the only thing you see is that the perpetrators, the young men, were black and you're a huge racist, which Alex is.
Paul has published widely in an area of expertise, including the original treaties, international law, colonization, some other areas we won't have time to get into.
He has responded practically to the cursions of those targeting his academic topics on their quest to limit academic freedom at universities.
His current schedule and research and publication is aimed at bringing to light deeper analysis the very topics that his detractors have targeted him for.
And that's what I always do.
What I get targeted for, what they try to shut down, is what I then focus in on, because that's what they don't want you to look at.
Again, Alex's mentality about the negative attention is virtue or is correctness is a bad way to look at things.
Because I gotta say, this could not be a worse introduction for Anthony Hall.
I guess this dude Hall has been talking some shit about the coronavirus lately.
So Alex is playing this game, that whole thing where it's like, you know, what your detractors are targeting you about, that's, you know, that whole thing.
Everyone's targeting Anthony Hall because of that.
That is not correct.
This is where it would pay off for Alex to research his guests just a little bit.
Since when Alex brings up Hall's complaint about academic freedom on campus, it has nothing to do with the coronavirus.
And in fact, it's about a topic that's become all too familiar on Alex's show these days.
It's nice to say that Anthony Hall is a professor emeritus because that sounds a lot better than the reality.
In August 2018, Hall retired from his position at University of Lethbridge.
This was after he was suspended without pay in October 2016 for, I'm just going to read to you here from an article in the Lethbridge News, quote, comments he made on in online articles and videos suggesting that Israeli and U.S. Jews staged the 9-11 attacks and that the events of the Holocaust should be up for debate.
As it turns out, Hall had been in a video produced by a group called the Committee for Open Debate of the Holocaust, which you might just go ahead and guess and you'd be correct in guessing.
An article in the Alberta Views quotes Hall as saying in the video, quote, we're living in a time of huge hate speech, hate speech directed towards Germans collectively, generically, with no real ability to consider Germany's place in the world outside of this peculiar way that national socialism has been interpreted.
The people he was in the video with from the committee were Alfred and Monica Schaefer, who are very explicit Holocaust deniers.
Alfred's been featured on a bunch of anti-Semitic shows arguing things like there were no gas chambers.
Monica was arrested in 2018 in Germany because Holocaust denial is illegal there.
Hall said of those siblings, quote, Alfred and Monica are quite typical, as I am myself, in a trajectory of looking at, well, if Israel could do 9-11, what about this other big religious fable concerning what is called the Holocaust?
So cool.
Alex is interviewing another Holocaust denier on his show.
So I'm going to assume that he is going to have a measured and appropriate response to this that definitely will not scapegoat any non-white peoples at all.
I was touched when I saw a clip of you, Alex, where you were saying, well, I initially saw this coronavirus thing as a kind of deep state diversion and an excuse to bring in different policies.
But when you saw that the HIV virus is found to be in this welded in.
So as it turns out, this guy, Anthony Hall, is basically just an Alex Jones listener who happens to also be a disgraced former professor.
All he's doing is regurgitating completely bogus narratives that Alex has disseminated on his show and have been amplified by the adjacent media sources like Zero Hedge.
He's not providing any other proof for any of this stuff outside of things like you said it on your show.
Alex is so desperate for anyone with any credentials to their name to come in and validate his coronavirus bullshit that he's got a dude who lost a tenured professorship over Holocaust denial on his show.
And you know what?
By treating this dude like an expert and validating him because his views on the virus, like because you're doing that, you're kind of giving a big thumbs up to the other beliefs.
So here we get another indication of the sort of places that Anthony Hall gets his news from.
True News and Rick Wiles are perhaps the worst place anybody could hope to get real information from.
Good.
It should be noted that Rick Wiles is a very noted anti-Semite.
One thing that jumps out is how he called the Trump impeachment a, quote, Jew coup, saying, quote, that's the way the Jews work.
They're deceivers.
They plot.
They lie.
They do whatever they have to to accomplish their political agenda.
He went on to say, quote, you have been taken over by a Jewish cabal.
The Church of Jesus Christ, you're next.
Get it through your head.
They're coming for you.
There will be a purge.
That's the next thing that happens when Jews take over a country.
They kill millions of Christians.
Naturally, some people took offense to this kind of rhetoric, particularly when it was announced that Wiles had been given press credentials to cover Trump's trip to Davos.
People were saying, hey, it's weird.
It's a very clear anti-Semite.
He's given press credentials.
And of course, Wiles' response was to claim that this criticism was proof of the Jewish-controlled newsman.
The examples of Rick Wiles being an outrageously overt anti-Semite are plentiful over his career.
So it makes sense that this Holocaust denying former professor might gravitate towards his work.
Lately, Rick Wiles has been framing the coronavirus as a plague sent by God as punishment for the world's sins.
He said on his show that this is a death angel, and that if you're Christian, you have nothing to fear from the virus.
Quote, the blood of Jesus Christ will protect you.
Do not fear.
If you're living right for God, if the blood of Jesus Christ is on you, you have no reason to fear this death angel.
But those of you who are opposing the church of God, mocking God, attacking his servants, you better wise up because there's a death angel on the loose right now and you're going to get an attitude adjustment.
He's serving an important function on Alex's show, though, because it's around that time in a show where Alex needs someone else to do some talking because he needs to snack.
He did say a number of other cities possibly as well, but it was largely a theory that there was going to be a nuke and it was going to be probably Chicago.
And anybody that blames Trump or anybody that blames the first responders or anybody that blames frontline medical workers is working with the globalists, the ChiComms, to create a collapse of confidence in the dollar.
They don't do it anymore and tell me a bunch of crap.
I get right back in their face.
And now the word's out that I'm going to roll over their crap.
And they want to throw a punch.
Well, then they're going to get knocked upside their head hard.
They probably got hit.
And guess what now?
They don't sit there and run their fat mouths to me in public.
I see him looking at us looking at him.
One that's taking it rolling over Christ was on a mission to be crucified and die for our sins, and he wasn't going to let anything get in the way of that when he turned his cheek.
The last thing he said was to his disciples is, buy weapons.
Alex is taking the coming back with fire thing from Isaiah 66, 15.
Quote, see the Lord is coming with fire in his chariots like a whirlwind.
He will bring down his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames and fire.
Isaiah is an Old Testament prophetic text, so it's important to remember the historical context of its writing when you're interpreting it, but whatever.
The part about how the disciples need to get weapons is from Luke 22, and it takes place during the Last Supper.
That part that people like Alex always quote is the line, quote, if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
This is all very good and well to say that Jesus said that, but it's taking away the surrounding context of the verse.
Quote, he said to them, but now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag.
And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
It is written, and he was numbered with the transgressors.
And I will tell you, this must be fulfilled in me.
Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.
The disciples said, See, Lord, here are two swords.
And Jesus replied, that's enough.
There are the two parts there that the biblical scholars note in particular about this passage.
The two things are the part where Jesus is talking about fulfilling his role and the fact that he says at the end, the two swords are enough.
Two swords would not be enough to actually fight against the people wanting to crucify Jesus.
So that interpretation doesn't make sense.
However, if you understand the line, that's enough, in the context of the fulfillment of Jesus' role, it starts to make a little more sense.
When Jesus is talking about his fulfillment, he describes it as involving him being, quote, numbered with the transgressors, which is to say that he would need to be considered and treated like a common criminal by the state.
As for this theory of the text, Jesus saying that's enough, he's saying that because his disciples being armed would be enough to create the perception that he was like a gang leader.
In the telling the disciples to get a sword, Jesus was attempting to fulfill the prophecy that he would need to be seen as a criminal to non-believers.
Other scholars believe that the swords themselves are a metaphor, but what no serious biblical scholar believes is that Jesus was telling his disciples they needed to get weapons because it was about to be time to kill people.
So our last clip here from the 9th is just another instance of Alex selling this coronavirus cure in a way that I think is going to get him in trouble.
And you can read where Dr. Keith Mueller, CEO of American Biotech Labs, is talking to the Pentagon and talking to Texas AM University.
And it's got the head of Homeland Security in here talking about how this patented nano silver Department of the Army headquarters, United States Special Operations Command, found with Andrew C. Von Ekenbach, MD, Commissioner of Food and Drugs, that it was taking out the SARS virus, which is the coronavirus family.
And that's just the nanotech silver that's in our super silver whitening toothpaste that's so good for your body.
That's in the super blue that also has a tea tree oil and iodine.
We also have it for children, all fluoride-free.
It's still all 50% off, even though we're about to sell out of the Super Silver.
We've still got quite a bit of the other two there.
What bums me out is when he does that toothpaste shit is like, this has been proven to help protect against the how lonely must it be to be a fan of Alex Jones in that you would genuinely believe that if all we needed to fight coronavirus was toothpaste, everybody in the world would actively hide that information except Alex Jones.
unidentified
It seems it seems thinking about how lonely that is.
I was talking to one of the crew members from another part of the building, and he was like, you know, there's a rumor in the office that you use cocaine because there's no way you can be so tired during a break and then explode, you know, once you come back on air.
Well, that's what I do.
I care passionately about this.
And the reason Infowars has been so successful is excitement is contagious.
Adrenaline and endorphins and focused anger is a drug.
I mistook that for vulnerability when I heard that.
Because that is true.
Alex does use this performative, overblown excitement and manufactured anger in order to trick people into thinking that he passionately believes various things that are just made up or just manipulations.
So I heard him say that, you know, like, I'm addicted to this anger and I need to get off that drug.
And it's better to be alive and burn twice as bright than to be basically a dim bulb that is never awake, never cares, and never has passions.
And that's why I talk about the man in the arena.
But that's why the left always says Alex Jones, the cokehead, Alex Jones, the drug addict, Alex Jones, this, Alex Jones, that.
And it's because they don't have that type of passion.
They don't have that drive.
So they can't imagine somebody that can broadcast 10 hours a day if they need to and love it and want to come back at night and do more because they don't have that spark that sets fires in the minds of men and women everywhere.
But I know you have that spark and you have that focus.
And that's what we need more of to turn things around.
You know, that's why last year I was a good boy for running over four months, didn't have one drink, lost a whole bunch of weight, exercised better, felt so much good.
And then Christmas came around, started drinking again a little bit.
And I'm going to now endeavor just to 100% quit forever just because it takes my focus away.
But I take depressants.
I mean, I take natural knockout at night to help sleep.
That's a depressant, natural depressant.
I drink alcohol to not care because I care too much.
And I take it to take the focus away, to take the clarity away, because I can't handle reality.
But you know what?
That's me being honest about it, that I go and hide in places like that.
There is just this sort of abstract conversation about these.
I'm too passionate and I have this drug of anger that I use and I use alcohol in order to deal with how alive and passionate I am about the fight against the globalists.
Sure.
And I think there's a dual layer to it, but whatever.
Alex gets mad, though, and he starts ranting about how real he is and how people said that he was an actor during his custody case.
And again, I would remind you that was Alex's lawyer who said that as a justification for some of the things he says on air.
So Alex gets off also yelling about Drag Queen story time, story hour.
And I've cut out all that stuff because it's all very standard nonsense, but it leads to an indication that Alex might be taking some time off in the near future.
I'm just going to tell you that for just your daily life and your gums and your teeth and for regular viruses and bacteria, the patented nano silver we have, the Pentagon has come out and documented in Homeland Security and said this stuff kills the whole SARS corona family at point-blank range.
Well, of course it does.
It kills every virus.
But they found that.
And this is 13 years ago.
And the Pentagon uses the product we have.
And the product we have in private label is about to be in Walmart coming up.
They just ordered a massive crap ton of not the one they have, but this even better one that we have.
So I'm just saying we're always cutting edge, thank to God.
Not only do you only have a theoretical four weeks before the real shit goes down that you need to get this if you order it today, but also there's only a week left in time before the price goes up on top of that.
And then I guess I'll just do this at the start of the next segment.
I'll talk about some personal things that have gone on with me that are interesting and that you should know about here first before the spin doctors have had their chance to have fun with it.
So I love how the corporate media will just ignore whatever I say on a topic and know it's about me and just say they're lie, but you hear it and then you promulgate it.
I want to not just get ahead of something, but I actually enjoy talking about this because it was quite the experience to see what's going on in this country and to go through it myself.
Now, I talked about this on air quite a bit that I've been a heavy drinker at times, not drunk at times, probably went more than four months just last year, not drinking at all.
And I've certainly gotten to the point where I don't have more than a beer or a glass of wine and drive a car because then I know that I will never blow above 0.8.
So Alex isn't really telling the whole truth here.
According to this article about his arrest in the Austin American Statesman, the only reason the police were there is because Alex's wife called them.
From the article, quote, an arrest affidavit for Jones says a sheriff's deputy responded at 10.10 p.m. Monday to a Western Travis County residence for a disturbance reported by Jones's wife.
His wife had told the dispatcher they were in a verbal fight that had been physical earlier in the day, the affidavit says.
She said Jones was leaving the residence in a black Dodge charger and that he was possibly drinking, the affidavit says.
When Alex says that the cop pulled him over because his car looked like one that matched a description, that's because it matched the description of his car, which the police were looking for because his wife had called the police.
He was the person the police were looking for, and he was going 45 in a 40-mile per hour zone.
When the deputy pulled him over, he, quote, had a strong odor of alcohol, which is not surprising.
According to the affidavit, Alex's story on air is completely a lie.
On air, Alex says that he was going out to get the thing from the store.
He later says that it's a bluebell ice cream.
He says that's when he got pulled over.
That's what he was doing.
But the affidavit tells a totally different story.
According to the report, Alex and his wife got into an argument at dinner over sushi.
Then, quote, Jones ended up walking three miles home from dinner.
When he arrived home, they continued arguing, the affidavit says.
Jones stated he then proceeded to drive to another residence he owns downtown to get away from his wife.
That's what Alex told the cops the night before.
And now he's completely lying about that on air.
Alex wasn't going to get ice cream.
He'd just gotten into a drunken fight with his wife.
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.
The basic facts of the matter here are that he got booked into county jail in Travis County at 12.37 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
And he was charged with suspicion of driving while intoxicated, which is a Class B misdemeanor.
He ended up getting released at 4.11 a.m.
So those are the time stamps on a lot of this stuff.
So after he fails this field sobriety test with the officer out on here where he's telling the story on air and he's already lied based on his own telling in the affidavit.
I want you to hear it up front because I was being told this by folks that came out of there knowing, yeah, they were talking about Alex Jones is here.
And he didn't, the first test showed no alcohol, and they couldn't believe it.
And wait, it's him.
So they kept having me blow and blow and blow and blow.
And I was like, and I mean, because I'm a big guy, man, a little mini bottle of wine at least two hours before.
So when you're pulled over, oftentimes there will be various different things that officers will do to try and assess whether or not you're intoxicated.
There'll be like you walk the line or try and stand on one leg or whatever.
And one of the main things they do is they flash a light in your eyes because the response that your eyes have are very indicative when you've been drinking.
And so Alex discusses that being done in this next clip.
So I would also argue that it's possible that Travis County, it's not so much a quota issue.
It might be a thing where they decided to take drunk driving more seriously because in 2017, the county saw a 70% increase in DWI-related deaths compared to 2016.
It's possible that they put rules in place to get a closer to zero tolerance policy where officers' discretion is used to determine if someone is impaired, whether or not they blow a 0.8, 0.08.
Even if you only have one beer and you blow like a 0.01, if you're impaired in such a way that you can't operate a vehicle, you can still be arrested for driving while under an influence.
So if this officer who pulled over Alex had good cause to suspect that, there's no way that Alex didn't deserve to get arrested, regardless of what he blew.
There's no way that Alex's story about drinking a little sake at dinner, then hours later getting pulled over, can be true if he almost blew a.08.
It's really hard to nail down the exact numbers because things can vary from person to person and depending on their weight.
But generally speaking, for a person over 220 pounds to have a BAC of 0.08, it's absolutely categorically not one beer.
If Alex's story is to be true, that it was hours after dinner, then he definitely kept drinking after dinner, maybe in that hot tub, because otherwise he would not have blown to 0.076.
It's just not possible.
His body would have metabolized that alcohol by that point.
There's no way he's being honest about this, and it's just a desperate attempt to save face.
So he doesn't have to be open and real about the consequences of his actions.
And it's even worse than that, too, because the time is different.
Alex Jones arrested for DWI and was below the legal limit.
But when they put it out in the news, it will be the exact opposite giant fiasco that I was, you know, murdering children and running around with sickles, chopping people's heads off, and burning down houses with canisters of gasoline and snorting 14 lines of, you know, 14-foot lines of cocaine and shoving bottle rockets up my rear end.
I mean, by the time they're done, it's just going to be, oh, he's arrested.
So he's just making a mockery with the straw men versions of things that people will say about it, as opposed to he got arrested for a DWI after getting into a fight with his wife.
That is, I have been in that situation before, talking with somebody saying almost word for word that same kind of shit.
Not necessarily, not, you know, the press is going to take me down, but it's like, oh, they call me such a bad person because all I had was a few drinks.
Oh, they're going to say that I'm killing babies now.
That's what they're going to do.
And it's like, I want to grab you by the shoulders and just scream, take some fucking responsibility.
It's very weird to, I mean, I know that he's not being literal and he's trying to make some sort of a point with this thought experiment of closing all bars.
Now, one thing that I need to make very clear is that I think this is pretty serious.
And I think that Alex is in a really bad place.
And I think that the DUI is obviously a piece of that.
But then the surrounding details of it being like he got into a fight with his wife at a sushi place, walked three miles home, kept fighting with her, was obviously drinking more, then trying to drive to another property to get away from her.
She calls the police and then gets, you know, he gets arrested.
Like the circumstances surrounding that are really, really fucked up.
But the thing that I need to make a point of is everybody posting tons and tons of tweets and all this about his DUI, he knows that that's exactly what he wants you to do.
So we've heard throughout the course of these days that we've been covering Alex sort of threatening murder if any of his family members get coronavirus.
Like thinking about this, the reason that right now I want him off air is not mainly so he gets help.
It's mainly because when Alex is in a bad, shitty mood and his life is in shambles, when he goes on air, he tells people to start the fucking civil war.
You think I would put my name on something and screw you metaphysically knowing I'd be in the clown devil operation if I did that?
I actually get nervous.
I'm not afraid of the globalists, but I'm afraid of like not doing the very best for you.
Are we sure it's the best?
And I'm like running around constantly because I can't tell you something unless I absolutely know it's true because I'm the polar opposite of the liars.
They told me today, they said, don't go on there and say you got pulled over for a DW.
Talk about that.
When it's like, I tested, it was below the legal limit.
I told the cop I did nothing wrong.
I've been vindicated.
Who cares?
I'm not drag queen story trum trying to stick my Johnson in your five-year-old.
You know how when you go to a library and are read a book by somebody, that's exactly as dangerous as when I am drunkenly driving in the middle of the night in Austin.
That's the part that's really difficult for me is that like I get my empathy triggered at the beginning of that 10th episode when he's talking about how he's addicted to this anger and it's a problem for him and he wants to do better.
Then you start to realize maybe that's only in service of trying to justify the drinking in order to dull the righteous anger that he has and the clarity.
And then by the end, when he's telling the story of the DUI and everything surrounding it, all of it is obfuscation, deflection, defensiveness, and the behaviors that you tend to see from people who have a problem who don't want to recognize that they have a problem.
Alex screaming, I'm not the problem, is kind of a dead ringer for that.
The only positive is that we bring up the hot tub again.
Every single one of these stories involves every time there's trouble and likes the hot tub.
I believe that I said a year ago on this show that Alex needs to stay the fuck away from hot tubs.
This episode was basically, it was like watching an episode of intervention, but it was reversed, where it's just a bunch of addicts listing off grievances and yelling them at the person trying to get them help in the center.
But beyond that, the real world consequences of this, I mean, barring the possibility that he has some secret DUIs in the past that we don't know about, like that would make this an actual escalated to a felony or something.
He's not going to have any consequences other than a fine, some minor inconvenience in his life.
Even if there is a possibility that he would get his license taken away, which I don't think is the case, he can afford to have his audience can pay for his lift stevers or a chauffeur.
It's unfortunate because this is it should be a situation where he recognizes like there's a larger thing going on in the world and in his own life that it should be some sort of a wake-up call, but it's probably not going to be.
There's no real consequence here other than the possible embarrassment in the eyes of his audience.
And he can inoculate himself from that pretty easily through his own show.
And I mean, obviously, I think that my intention for this episode was sort of demonstrate the continuation of the nonsensical, incoherent nature of the coronavirus narratives.
Yes.
And we got, well, I mean, almost hit by a drunk driver, basically.
And the show got T-boned by Alex's Tuesday show, and it turned into what it is.
And I guess, I mean, I know that people are really tired.
I know the audience is incredibly tired of me expressing this, but it is still my firm conviction that Alex needs help.
And I hope that he gets it.
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.
