=== Seeing Beyond the Surface (02:25) ===

[00:00:00]  So one of the things I find so striking about you, having watched you on and off over the years, and this must be a burden for you personally, but your ability to see people at a deeper level or to see things in them that are not obvious to the rest of us.
[00:00:17]  And I want to give a specific example.
[00:00:19]  So there's a guy called Brian Stelter who had the media show on CNN.
[00:00:23]  I first met Brian Stelter when he was a high school student or a first year college student because he would hang around the show I worked on at the time at CNN.
[00:00:30]  This was 20 years ago at least.
[00:00:32]  And I always thought he was awkward and weird and probably had a super creepy personal life, but I never took him seriously.
[00:00:40]  There's a pretty famous clip, and I want to play it right now, of you critiquing Brian Stelter.
[00:00:47]  And you take him way more seriously than I ever did.
[00:00:50]  And I think you're right too.
[00:00:51]  So this is a pretty famous clip of you on Brian Stelter.
[00:00:56]  Hell on earth.
[00:00:58]  He wants to run your life.
[00:00:59]  He wants to control every aspect of your life because he knows he is a cowardly, degenerate sack of anti-human trash.
[00:01:09]  I pledge before my heavenly father that I will resist them every way I can.
[00:01:16]  These people are the literal demon spawn of the pit of hell.
[00:01:21]  Look at him.
[00:01:22]  And you know what?
[00:01:23]  He is better than you if you keep letting him run your life.
[00:01:25]  He runs your kids.
[00:01:27]  He runs the schools.
[00:01:28]  He runs the banks.
[00:01:29]  This guy, this spirit, this smiling, leering devil that thinks you can't see what he is.
[00:01:37]  He is your enemy.
[00:01:39]  Period.
[00:01:41]  All the narcissistic, devil-worshipping filth.
[00:01:46]  I see you, enemy.
[00:01:48]  I see you, enemy.
[00:01:50]  Enemy!
[00:01:51]  Enemy!
[00:01:52]  You are my enemy!
[00:01:55]  And I swear total resistance to you and everything I've got.
[00:02:01]  Disingenuous, fake, false, broke back, twisted, a defiler, a betrayer, a backstabber, a devil.
[00:02:11]  You know, they got on CE, Stelter.
[00:02:14]  I see you.
[00:02:15]  You understand me?
[00:02:16]  I know what you think of me and my family.
[00:02:18]  I see you right back.
[00:02:20]  You understand that?
[00:02:21]  You understand that, Stelter?

=== Censorship Hearings Controversy (04:38) ===

[00:02:25]  I've only watched that several hundred times.
[00:02:28]  And I laugh every time, but I also, there's something to, if Brian Stelter had absolute power, would you and your family survive?
[00:02:35]  Of course not.
[00:02:35]  You wouldn't.
[00:02:36]  You'd be, of course not, and neither would mine.
[00:02:38]  So there's a lot that's true about what you said.
[00:02:41]  How did you perceive that?
[00:02:42]  The rest of us just made fun of him.
[00:02:44]  Now, once they started the censorship and deplatforming, remember back then they would deny it.
[00:02:49]  Oh, yeah, we're taking people off air, but it's not censorship.
[00:02:51]  Now they admit, no, it's censorship.
[00:02:52]  We're doing this for your own good.
[00:02:54]  So he was really the face of that.
[00:02:56]  And he was working for the head of CNN that was really in charge of it.
[00:03:00]  It later came out.
[00:03:01]  CNN currently is not in charge.
[00:03:03]  They've handed it completely over to the Justice Department to quarterback, as Congress reported a few months ago with the documents.
[00:03:09]  But at the time, Brian Stelter and his mini-me, Oliver Darcy, his Popeye, were going around calling up and harassing my sponsors, taking sponsors away.
[00:03:19]  And they were going around and organizing big tech to take not just myself, but many other people offline.
[00:03:28]  And so he was destroying our free speech.
[00:03:30]  He was taking our sponsors.
[00:03:31]  It's crazy.
[00:03:31]  I just want to restate.
[00:03:33]  You are not promoting race hatred.
[00:03:35]  You're against race hatred.
[00:03:36]  You never have promoted that ever.
[00:03:38]  You're not promoting violence.
[00:03:40]  You've never called for violence.
[00:03:42]  And you've never even called for breaking the law.
[00:03:44]  And so that's why there's so much anger there, because I remember the day I did that in a few other clips that went viral.
[00:03:50]  I showed all the stuff he was doing, but then the media attacked me and just clicked it out of context.
[00:03:55]  But still, it reverberated with people because people were sick of the corporate legacy media.
[00:04:00]  So people say, well, why is he so angry?
[00:04:02]  Well, it's because he's literally trying to take us off air, literally taking our sponsors.
[00:04:07]  I mean, the equivalent of the Vikings a thousand years ago in England pulling up and burning a village down.
[00:04:12]  And so there he is, all sweet and liberal and cackling and laughing, but he's really an agent of anti-American totalitarianism.
[00:04:20]  And so he was the frontman of that.
[00:04:22]  And I wanted to just simply say, you're right.
[00:04:24]  I see you.
[00:04:24]  I know what you're doing.
[00:04:26]  So people see out of context and think, why are you being so mean to him?
[00:04:28]  Well, I mean, he's literally trying to destroy my free speech, take me off air, and put my family on the street.
[00:04:34]  So I'm pissed off at him.
[00:04:36]  What's interesting is, and I, I mean, I don't know if you want me to reveal this, but we had dinner in our barn last night and there were some drinks.
[00:04:43]  And after dinner, you and my producer called Stelter on the phone.
[00:04:48]  And what was so, and it was on speaker, so I listened to it.
[00:04:50]  What was so interesting was, you know, you've been very clear in a very direct, pretty masculine way, I would say, about how you feel about Brian Stelter.
[00:04:58]  There's not a lot of confusion about your views on Stelter after clips like that, which doubtless he's seen because he Googles himself compulsively.
[00:05:04]  He was very kind of syrupy-sweet with you.
[00:05:08]  And that's why I was sarcastic and told him I want to date him.
[00:05:11]  You did.
[00:05:11]  Yeah.
[00:05:12]  In fact, the exact line that you had was, Brian, I'm not usually gay, but I want you.
[00:05:18]  And he seemed a little bit, I'm not saying he's open to it or whatever, but he wasn't shocked by it.
[00:05:21]  And he's like, give me your phone number.
[00:05:22]  Give me, talk to you.
[00:05:23]  Yeah.
[00:05:23]  And then he hit your producer, please give me his number right now.
[00:05:26]  Yeah, that was interesting.
[00:05:27]  But I was being silly with him.
[00:05:28]  But there was also a line.
[00:05:30]  He goes, oh, Alex Jones, I said, I want you to call my show.
[00:05:33]  And he said, oh, you still got a show?
[00:05:35]  And I went, no, you're the one that doesn't have a show.
[00:05:39]  Sorry, I said it's so poor to like recount conversations people were witnessing.
[00:05:44]  It was funny, though.
[00:05:44]  But you said, you know, you, you know, you're, you're off TV now, but you're a real star.
[00:05:49]  I mean, not on CNN, but on my show.
[00:05:53]  So good.
[00:05:54]  Anyway, but what was interesting was if someone had talked about you that way and then called you late night after a couple of drinks, you'd say, you know, up yours, pal.
[00:06:03]  You know what I mean?
[00:06:04]  Like, buzz off, or I'm not taking your call.
[00:06:06]  But he kind of sucked up to you.
[00:06:07]  That's a very weird, passive-aggressive posture.
[00:06:10]  Well, I've said a lot of really mean things about him and attacked him.
[00:06:13]  And when I watched the clips out of context, I feel guilty.
[00:06:16]  But he was going around with Oliver Darcy.
[00:06:18]  They would brag on Twitter and literally hitting hundreds of my sponsors.
[00:06:21]  And I say hundreds.
[00:06:22]  I'd have like 20.
[00:06:23]  They'd take them all.
[00:06:24]  I get 20 more.
[00:06:24]  Take them all.
[00:06:25]  This went on for years.
[00:06:26]  So you go get a sponsor.
[00:06:27]  You get them.
[00:06:27]  They're doing great.
[00:06:28]  He takes it away from you.
[00:06:30]  And then he brags that him and Dart.
[00:06:32]  I was taken off Twitter, not for the Sandy Hook stuff that came later that they focused on.
[00:06:36]  Look it up.
[00:06:37]  They had the former head of Twitter and the lawyer on Joe Rogan about four years ago.
[00:06:42]  And Joe said, Why did you man Alex Jones?
[00:06:44]  Lawyer goes, Okay, let me open my clipboard.
[00:06:46]  She goes, Here's why.
[00:06:47]  He was mean to Oliver Darcy.
[00:06:49]  So I'm at the Capitol.
[00:06:51]  They're having censorship hearings.
[00:06:52]  Sundar Pachai is there.
[00:06:54]  I just confronted him in the hall.
[00:06:55]  Who runs Google?
[00:06:55]  And you guys are welcome to use that if you want.
[00:06:57]  And then that was at the Senate.
[00:06:59]  So now they were going over for a house meeting.
[00:07:01]  And there's Oliver Darcy in the line.

=== Why Was Alex Jones Deplatformed? (01:33) ===

[00:07:03]  He gets to get in.
[00:07:03]  I don't even get into a hearing where they then attacked me.
[00:07:06]  They'd attacked me at the last hearing, but I don't get to face my accuser.
[00:07:09]  And so I get in his face.
[00:07:10]  I don't threaten him, but I say, you are an evil man.
[00:07:13]  You're un-American coming after my free speech, harassing my sponsors, trying to get me off the internet.
[00:07:18]  And the last place I was on was Twitter.
[00:07:20]  They'd held out.
[00:07:21]  And so Jack Dorsey had held out.
[00:07:24]  And so Jack Dorsey admitted, well, the last straw was, I bullied Oliver Darcy.
[00:07:29]  And so that's why I was deplatformed.
[00:07:31]  Elon Musk thinks it was the Sandy Hook thing.
[00:07:33]  And notice.
[00:07:34]  You know that in most cultures, bullying Oliver Darcy would be like a rite of passage.
[00:07:39]  Like you couldn't, like that would be a positive good, right?
[00:07:42]  Well, here's the thing.
[00:07:43]  He's literally on Twitter taking my sponsors, calling me to be silenced.
[00:07:47]  So he's been attacking me, attacking my speech and my living.
[00:07:51]  And then all I do is shove a camera in his face while he's waiting to go into the hearing for five minutes and say, Man, you are un-American.
[00:07:58]  You got some evil eyes.
[00:07:59]  And I said, You really look like a piece of slime.
[00:08:01]  I mean, I told him that.
[00:08:03]  Fair, fair.
[00:08:04]  And so the point is, he's a man.
[00:08:06]  He's a quote journalist in the arena.
[00:08:08]  He goes around harassing people and stalking them financially and their free speech.
[00:08:14]  He'd already bragged that he got me taken off all this other stuff and that he was instrumental, which he was.
[00:08:19]  And then he can't take me saying, Man, you're a jerk.
[00:08:22]  Right.
[00:08:23]  So this is the classic posture.
[00:08:25]  You know, stop hitting me, he says as he fires a gun through your windshield.
[00:08:30]  Exactly.
[00:08:30]  They can dish it out, but they can't take it.
[00:08:34]  You'll hear people say the news is full of lies.
