3:25
, that we have to do do
3:28
that is the follow up to alex's
3:30
war coverage of that after
3:33
the premiere of that film they
3:36
did a little q and i were glenn
3:38
greenwald interviewed alex jones
3:41
and alex li moyer the a document
3:43
area the who directed this film
3:46
the a day did not have their bikes
3:48
really working in the sound was really terrible
3:51
for the portion were moyer
3:53
was interviewed sir zone i had talk about
3:55
any of that ah i wonder if she's mad at the crew
3:57
i would be maybe not actually maybe
3:59
it's the not know exactly how
4:01
that interview wet right so we've just
4:04
got alex's junk and honestly it's
4:06
like forty something minutes of
4:08
an interview and i'm
4:11
a red sox it will take
4:13
more than forty minutes to talk about i've
4:15
met i've surprising fairly certain
4:17
so i would your feelings going into those what
4:19
are your expectations ah man i
4:22
my my feeling is that it's
4:24
going to be glenn greenwald is
4:26
doing these softball east
4:28
of interview like not even softball
4:30
questions that t ball questions
4:32
like he's swinging the bat for
4:35
alex to drain get that ball
4:37
across the fucking plate that's what
4:39
i feel like the intersect will save their lives
4:42
up to your expectation okay
4:44
so a before we didn't
4:46
the actual interview i've do things
4:48
i want to say i have some com at georgia
4:51
get very excited he did he though
4:53
i've been tracking some reactions to
4:56
this new documentary about alex and i
4:58
have to say that i've just been seeing more
5:00
and more shit takes it sincerely
5:02
unbelievable to me that any wanted watch
5:04
this film and come away accepting the argument
5:07
that the producers and director just showed alex
5:09
as he is that such
5:11
an offensive and gas lighting farce that i
5:13
feel the need to address this again and
5:16
really sharpen the point that i'm making
5:18
on the day before the film was released matter
5:20
you be published a fawning interview with
5:22
director alex li moyer on his sub stack
5:25
in his introduction to the interview tell you be says
5:28
quote she takes characters reduced
5:30
in panic media treatments to two
5:32
dimensional month or two two dimensional monsters
5:35
and renders a non judgmental taught
5:37
li edited herzog you and treatment
5:41
of who they are who they are and how
5:44
they came to be that way these
5:46
are the absolute nonsense is why we're herzog
5:48
i would not take kindly to this kind of
5:50
a suggestion but i want to ask
5:53
what exactly is bed by non
5:55
judgmental hear that
5:57
seems like a really important concept to nail down
5:59
because seems like this is something moyer
6:01
and the film's defenders are really proud
6:04
of be i would guess
6:06
that from the other things i've read non judgmental
6:08
to these folks means that they don't include
6:10
critical voices in their films to provide
6:13
any other input and then they pat
6:15
themselves on the bat a whole bunch
6:17
for having the courage to let the audience decide
6:19
what to think about the subject of
6:21
the film i guess it's
6:24
fine to not include critical voices
6:26
in critical films but films really don't think
6:28
that you're gonna be able to save his even tried
6:30
to portray your subject as they are you're
6:33
just put your anger subject how they want
6:35
you to see them for
6:37
example alex life constantly contradicts
6:39
himself about biographical information
6:42
in this film but you aren't introduced
6:44
to somebody expressing their point in the films
6:47
see have no reason to suspect that
6:49
alex has been anything but honest
6:51
the audience is being allowed to make up their own mind
6:54
i guess but their options are believing
6:56
alex or choosing not to which
6:58
they have no reason to do based on
7:00
the film their watch another important
7:02
point is that you're editing the film according
7:05
to the whim of your subject which makes
7:07
it nearly impossible for an uninformed
7:09
viewer to make up their mind for themselves
7:12
if you're watching this film nothing about
7:14
it would give you any reason to distrust
7:16
alex's assertions that the only reason
7:18
anyone was mad at him about sandy hook
7:21
was because he tried he likes trump and
7:23
they needed something to smear him with there's
7:26
no reason at all from the material
7:28
in this film to not conclude that the
7:30
sandy hook parents like neil heathland
7:32
or scarlet lewis who we've been in the court
7:34
room with this week's are just tools
7:37
of an overzealous democratic machines
7:39
that wanted desperately to punish alex for
7:41
supporting trump that assertion
7:44
that narrative that alex tells
7:46
is not presented as just what this
7:48
guy is saying the film is structured
7:51
around descending that narrative the
7:53
only outcome of accepting boyars
7:55
claim that this is just non judgmental
7:58
and presenting our time years to
8:00
conclude that you either believes alex's version
8:02
of this story or see edited
8:04
or film in a way to strengthen the
8:06
story fully aware that it was full
8:08
of shit and is now bragging about how
8:10
great he is for not indicating that the audience
8:13
of maybe shouldn't trust this claim at all
8:15
it's weird yeah i we've
8:18
done this work and stupid dance all over like
8:20
over and over again with idiots like rogan
8:22
who want to have their cake and eat it too but then they
8:24
also want pie they want to talk
8:27
to and platform dangerous lunatics
8:29
and white wash their images but they don't want
8:31
to be criticized for it and not only that
8:33
they want to be treated like a the real heroes
8:35
for having the courage to do what they do and
8:38
much like with rogan i don't buy
8:40
that shit from moyer if
8:42
you're doing a documentary about documentary liar
8:44
or liar con man and you don't include any
8:47
content critical of that liar or con
8:49
man in your film you aren't doing
8:51
a documentary the com main is using
8:54
you as a medium to spread their message to
8:56
an audience they wouldn't have access do otherwise
8:59
you do have a responsibility in that
9:01
circumstance whether you choose to accept
9:03
it or not to
9:05
be totally clear here is moyer
9:08
in her own words on how she approaches
9:10
are film making this is run that interview with
9:12
tb quotes this
9:15
this i'm going to do with all of the documentaries
9:17
that i make by the way including the one
9:19
i just made about alex jones it's
9:22
not meant to confirm your biases it's
9:24
meant to actually show you what these people
9:26
are actually like and then you can make
9:29
an informed decision based off watching
9:31
the film it used to be called journalism
9:34
this will say in response to her telling a story
9:37
about how she had investors not want
9:39
to support her first film because you wouldn't
9:41
include the voices of people who had been harmed
9:43
by massage nests and school shooters
9:46
which is meant to connected to her choice to
9:48
not have critical voices of alex in
9:50
this film in a very real sense
9:52
she's kind of engaging in censorship
9:54
here because guess what ding dong a huge
9:57
part of who alex actually is and
9:59
what he's actually like is that he knows
10:01
that he's cause people and i'm normal
10:03
amount of pain and he doesn't give a shit
10:06
by not giving voice to that and not exploring
10:08
that side of him is kind of covering
10:11
up that aspect of his psyche because it's inconvenience
10:13
and probably too difficult of a subject
10:16
you to for you to pull off in this softball
10:18
as documentary now let
10:20
me focus on in on my point about
10:22
moyers approach by applying
10:25
it to a different situation smell
10:27
let's imagine that alex's war
10:29
actually he could be called a fair portraits
10:32
and that it provided the audience with enough information
10:34
to make an informed decision i totally
10:36
don't believe that but that's gonna be
10:38
the standard that will apply to another
10:41
situations and see how it feels
10:43
like they're really gonna wish they hadn't said that
10:46
the other throw that out that you're right now i
10:48
don't think it's going to go well for them either i just don't think they're
10:50
going to stand up to it that's just mates so what would
10:52
moyer say about someone who made a documentary
10:54
like hers about jim jones and like
10:56
i don't know nineteen seventy four
10:58
right when he was forming jonestown indiana
11:02
what is a person just let jim
11:04
jones tell his own story line
11:06
the whole time with no pushback from the director
11:08
or anyone in the film at all you'd
11:11
think that jim jones would be able
11:13
to spin a pretty good yarn and be able to
11:15
make the idea of heading to his compound
11:17
to earn his commune some like a pretty decent
11:20
idea people were having a great
11:22
time and you spreading a real message of
11:24
love and unity it's his word of god
11:26
guys coming through now
11:28
let's imagine forbid that this hypothetical documentary
11:31
a new that there were former members
11:33
of the peoples temple who had left and
11:35
alleged that jim jones had abused them both
11:37
physically and sexually step people
11:40
would come forward and alleged that jim jones
11:42
would punish dissenters by starving them
11:44
and ostracizing them from socializing
11:46
with the rest of the community this documentary
11:48
and do those things but decided not
11:51
to include any of them in the film because of a commitments
11:53
to just showing jim jones as
11:55
he really is well and everybody
11:58
knows that's when that have then
12:00
all of those people who did who left
12:02
they were just hired by carter to
12:04
smear jim jones everybody
12:06
knew that now let's imagine that
12:09
this hypothetical filmmaker edited together
12:11
the documentary of such a way that swelling
12:13
music played over zero shots of jim
12:15
jones and almost religious
12:18
soundscape served as the back room for
12:20
him talking about his religious awakening now
12:22
let's imagine that this hypothetical filmmaker
12:25
allowed jim jones is framing of his
12:27
life to inform the structure of
12:29
their documentary and how the story was told
12:31
so like you are touching on in this documentary
12:34
they do and up mentioning the allegations
12:36
of abuse of his followers but it's not
12:38
brought up as a negative thing about him instead
12:41
it's only mentioned is something that gym brushes
12:43
off to the side as an attack from the power structure
12:45
who were afraid of the religious revolution
12:48
that he was involved in and he's com you in indiana
12:50
and the possibilities of it a pose
12:52
i should have made a more extreme joke it's
12:55
a that was too obviously just what would've
12:57
happened well they the parallel sake
12:59
of yeah of course the mass murder
13:01
that and the the jonestown hadn't happened
13:04
yet so maybe some edgy assholes
13:06
of the day would say that this documentary filmmaker
13:08
was just giving a non judgmental view
13:10
of this public figure who somewhat polarizing
13:13
and if i were somebody who studied jim jones
13:15
back then as i am somebody who
13:17
studies alex jones right now i
13:20
would say that is complete bullshit portraying
13:23
jim jones in exactly the way the wants
13:25
to be portrayed with no context and know
13:27
countervailing information is very
13:29
likely to lead viewers to adopt a more
13:31
positive view of him and that would be
13:33
and dangerous thing to be a involved
13:36
thing in i
13:38
want to run through brick wall for you right now
13:40
i want to bounce my fucking
13:43
a head against the like let's stop record
13:45
exists right
13:49
, i'm
13:52
sure that the rebuttal to this
13:54
would be that alex jones is no jim
13:56
jones answer he doesn't have he doesn't
13:58
spot you're doing the know what you think that alex
14:01
doesn't pose as much potential danger
14:03
is jim jones dead by adopting
14:05
voyeurs approach you're essentially legitimising
14:08
the figures you're covering and making people more
14:10
likely to follow them and as
14:12
we've seen over the course of doing the show alex
14:14
is a completely unhinged child
14:16
unable to control his emotional outburst
14:19
who constantly tells his audience to keep
14:21
a list of globalists in their towns with of
14:23
know who to kill when the time comes he's
14:25
told his audience that it might be time to consider
14:28
if you could kill your family members
14:30
if they support vaccination he'd
14:32
stole the message that psych meds are mind
14:34
control weapons which could have be effective
14:37
making people not seek mental health care or
14:39
even worse to stop taking medications
14:41
that they're prescribed good
14:43
people boston if alex his actions have
14:46
real world consequences as
14:48
the people were the sandy hook victim's
14:50
family members the families
14:53
of igor soldo allen back
14:55
and joseph wilcox the three people
14:57
who are murdered by jared and amanda miller
14:59
and twenty four teams murders that were inspired
15:02
by their anti government views and which
15:04
dear to discuss beforehand on
15:06
the info wars forums ask
15:08
the family of tragically are deceased
15:10
marcel fontaine these are stories
15:13
that we know and they're be up
15:15
just the tip of the iceberg of the lives
15:17
that have been changed permanently by alex
15:19
was behaviors and alex doesn't
15:22
give and shit the company
15:24
was acting in the exact same ways that he
15:26
did that led to these people's grief because
15:29
it's profitable and these voices
15:31
are ignored and disrespected in this documentary
15:33
because actually covering alex as
15:35
he really is would be way too hard
15:38
and i suspect that it wouldn't have resulted
15:40
in the kind of movie that moyer wanted to make
15:44
they would have resulted in seven hundred
15:46
and ten episodes of some sort of assess
15:49
i think that might have a be what that might be what would
15:51
have happened it definitely wouldn't have resulted
15:53
in the sort of movie that she was looking for considering
15:55
that at least two of the producers of his films
15:58
were also producers of the truck propaganda
16:00
nonsense films the plot against the president
16:03
i'm actually boy were made a stupid an inaccurate
16:06
film one bed willfully omit
16:08
information the calls into question the subject
16:10
self delivered image of himself it's
16:13
a bad movie and it will hurt people
16:15
but it's her right to make it i
16:17
hope the money that you made doing it is worth
16:19
it but please spare me the sanctimonious
16:21
bullshit about how people can handle that
16:23
you do journalism your cut rate
16:25
editor producing semi slick character
16:27
studies not of alex jones but
16:30
of the person alex jones wants you to think
16:32
he is basically yours
16:34
embark if you think with his documentary
16:36
shows his alex as he really is
16:39
overall before we get into this q and a i
16:42
need to make one more point crystal clear which
16:44
is that the framing bit more your hands about
16:46
her own work that didn't even real
16:49
human interested in seeing these subjects as they
16:51
were eyes they are and that it is i'm sort of purity
16:54
to it's and the most obvious tell is
16:56
that see interviews always royal rob
16:58
do and might handsome in the documentary
17:01
they , provide a glimpse into alex
17:03
as he really is interviewing them
17:05
doesn't just so alex as years and
17:07
let's the audience decide for themselves
17:10
they are included because they're sycophantic
17:12
voices little echo the self aggrandizing
17:14
narrative that alex is telling about himself which
17:17
is the story that moyer wants to tell
17:19
including interviews with people who glorify
17:22
alex is counter to her pretend ethos
17:24
and kind of makes a joke of her insistence of not
17:26
interviewing critical voices in the name some
17:29
pretense of journalistic purity purity
17:32
is caught that's a condescending mask
17:34
she's wearing so she can elevator puff piece
17:36
brand rehabilitation project into
17:38
some kind of act of reporting that so brave
17:41
that we can't even understand it i
17:43
reject that shit entirely and it's really
17:45
sad to see people with actual media careers
17:48
falling for this kind of an act and
17:50
i can't stress this enough you would have
17:52
moyer thinks the to some kind of an uncritical
17:54
observer does dispassionately relaying
17:57
the story of alex's deluded jesus
18:00
later and she's creating some of your
18:02
input and biases are impossible not
18:04
to have an impact primitive
18:07
in a piece about the movies premier in the
18:09
new york magazine these lines made me
18:11
think maybe she's not so and parcel
18:13
of a duck's metairie this ah yes ending what
18:15
might that be quote she wants the x
18:18
files research serial killers
18:20
and conspiracies and generally respected misfits
18:23
disdain for authority was normalized
18:25
back then she says whereas now people worship
18:27
power in believe in toeing the line for
18:29
the state liberal outlets she
18:31
thinks have unwittingly lead credibility
18:33
to figures like jones thanks to their credulous
18:36
miss about official narratives quote
18:38
things of odds of the things they're calling
18:40
conspiracy theories are just gonna be news
18:42
item six months from now she says there
18:45
were w m d covert came from a bat
18:48
this is just her saying
18:50
alex his catchphrase in alex less the sink
18:52
the manner the info wars tomorrow's
18:55
news today life
18:57
but a business glenn greenwald as
18:59
a penchant for run on sentences so
19:01
in order to present his q in a in is fair of
19:03
a light as possible the tempted to
19:05
preserve as much of like that as possible
19:08
vms it's gonna lead some clips that are
19:10
longer than i would like and rambling meandering
19:12
questions but i would rather risk annoying
19:15
you van being
19:17
, listen just cause i am
19:19
not a very important person does it mean
19:21
that i shouldn't be okay with you treating
19:24
me like this this
19:26
of i've thought how
19:30
you feel i mean it's yes
19:32
it's just sad it's so sad
19:34
to see sox like just
19:37
on a level of like quality
19:39
much sucks deployed city
19:41
music like it's not like she had good
19:43
choices didn't have radio had
19:45
or anything on there that might have boosted
19:48
up the documentary from i got a copyright as
19:50
you would add travel without what yeah travel get clearing that
19:52
might have been an issue of yep definitely but like just
19:54
having own shroyer on their a man
19:56
whose literally man puppet help
20:00
describe yeah oh the subject
20:02
of the documentary what are you going to can wait
20:04
a second like what what is jeff dunham's
20:07
hand up a puppets ask going to
20:09
stay in a documentary about it but go jump
20:11
don't b well i mean he would say mean things but that's
20:13
not the point of what i'm trying to say a or one
20:15
sure he was going to say anything meaningful in the
20:18
documentary think well i'm essentially
20:20
unemployable in any other
20:22
media situation i'm stuck here
20:24
i'm saddled with this absolute so i'm
20:26
gonna say shitty things about my boss totally
20:28
totally yeah cool while alex his
20:30
hand is right all the way up my ass controlling
20:33
my mouth i'm going to be like i think he might
20:35
go too far sometimes like what are you
20:37
doing this is nonsense idea of
20:39
that like i'm just showing him as he is
20:41
it's so torpedoed by
20:44
the fact that you sought out my cancer
20:47
alec a get his a current employees
20:49
are at the time current employees also be
20:52
a move yeah but make him fifth
20:55
a goose it a there is there you
20:58
have your fork in high horse pretending that
21:00
like what what input is my
21:02
camp and giving the chose alex as he actually
21:04
is right the topic know
21:06
if giving mike hampton the impression of
21:08
alex right which is a positive
21:11
one you exclude all
21:13
made it is impressive of alex
21:15
death because you're not up to the task
21:18
of tell him that fucking story yeah i
21:20
think what it's it is tying together with
21:22
what i'm learning during this whole fucking experience
21:25
down here is that all
21:27
of these people are fucking cowards
21:29
who are afraid of anybody challenging
21:31
them and because they have a rabid
21:33
fan base that will attack people
21:36
who do challenge them a lot of people
21:38
don't discover that they're cowards fab
21:40
this little gem of people who
21:42
protect them and keep them from ever having
21:45
to realize that they're a bunch of fucking
21:47
cowardly baby so i have no competence
21:49
or quality had any effect me like
21:51
alex's nine be bodyguards yeah
21:54
oh my god and jesus christ
21:57
night there were given ninety bodyguards
21:59
for obama showing up
22:01
the court at all you missed it you missed
22:03
the best one whenever i left court or
22:05
the other day he he went out he went
22:07
across the street to go get a hero or submit
22:09
ratings and his ten bodyguards were surrounding
22:12
him and they were doing the funniest
22:14
like mission impossible as maneuvers
22:16
like people are check in the corner
22:18
and like a doctor said like a little
22:21
, there's no one they're
22:23
they're doing these mission impossible as
22:26
organizational boobs as fucking
22:28
sad a have like a really long
22:30
meetings before they go public about like
22:33
are we gotta keep an eye out for mukhtiar totally
22:35
worth a total adrenalin alex get milk
22:37
hurt and no offense at all but one of his
22:39
bodyguards is five foot three of you not
22:41
joking the by right now they are we not have a
22:43
fourth most as yes i did see the guess
22:46
guess was ill up in the air whether or not you'll never
22:48
know you'll never know hind a looks like
22:51
somebody from their beastie boys beastie through
22:54
a mustache to the much as a size of might stick
22:56
his forehead is what i would like to describe it as they
22:58
are so without further
23:00
ado jordan let's without further in
23:02
on this q and i arrived ah this
23:04
is not going to not be frustrating
23:06
for you
23:07
anyway starts with some compliments
23:11
loud , frustrating for by alex is not
23:13
yet on stage so this is just greenwald
23:15
and moyer okay okay say a
23:18
this week i had to spend time explaining
23:20
what i thought was never necessary to explain
23:22
what is you can if you're a journalist for example
23:24
going speak to someone without
23:26
making clear whether you love that person or hate
23:28
that person but simply the train understand them is
23:31
kind of fundamental to was
23:33
journalists are supposed to do and i think that's the same
23:35
for filmmakers and artists and documentary
23:37
and and the fact that you even after
23:39
explain yourself the fact of it's unusable
23:42
to watch a film without constantly
23:44
being bombarded with the filmmakers moral
23:47
perspective that
23:49
perspective think is a testament to just our press of
23:51
the society has become and i really want to
23:53
congratulate you for resisting not and
23:55
for kind of restoring what restoring think is the purpose
23:57
of art in journalism and
23:59
film and documentary n n n and documentaries
24:02
which is to show the public information
24:05
that they ought to have and let them decide what
24:07
they think about it as opposed to shoving that conclusion
24:09
down their face and life as a lot
24:11
easier for you as i said if you had chosen
24:14
a different route but i think it takes
24:16
it takes of courage for you to do then i think it's important so
24:18
i want to congratulate you for that
24:25
are you would want of a defining characteristics
24:27
of people you really shouldn't listen to our
24:29
people that have a mindless need to be
24:31
an opposition for instance i
24:33
think you're delusional if you don't think vehicle
24:36
glenn's believe that this documentary shows a fair
24:38
portrait of alex is in some way informed
24:41
by the fact that all of the media voices
24:43
he doesn't like are saying it's not
24:46
i , if you've watched this film ends
24:48
you see that this is gwen glenn's
24:50
take he's just a loser this
24:52
film isn't providing the information the people need
24:54
to make an informed decision it's
24:56
not just a dispassionate exercise
24:59
in journalism that people are just
25:01
mad at because it doesn't include the requisite
25:03
performance of outrage stats
25:05
the line these ding dongs tell themselves
25:07
so they can feel morally superior to everyone
25:09
else while they trot out there exploit a
25:11
to vanity projects split
25:13
look at this idea of an informed decision
25:16
decision would argue that in order to make an informed
25:19
decision you need of all the relevant information
25:21
about a subject for instance it
25:23
would be inappropriate for appeal to market
25:25
itself by exclusively talking about the
25:27
positive things that can do while completely
25:30
neglecting the potential side effects
25:32
can have similarly it wouldn't
25:34
serve a person at all as the coverage of
25:36
coverage pill focused entirely on the potential side
25:38
effects and ignored v saying that
25:40
it's effective in treating either
25:43
of these will give the person a lot
25:45
of information about the pill and questions
25:47
but neither would give them what they needed to make
25:49
an informed choice it might
25:51
give them the feeling that they had that informed
25:54
choice but that feeling is an illusion
25:57
this documentary does not give the viewers
25:59
the information to make any kind of an informed
26:01
decision about alex in order for
26:03
this film to actually be something that the viewer
26:05
can watch and make up their own mind about
26:07
the viewer would need to already entered the film
26:10
knowing that alex is a liar and nothing he
26:12
says can really be taken as sincere
26:14
you already need to know that there's a reason
26:17
not to trust him before you watch
26:19
and that's an absurd expectation to have
26:21
for most viewers who are randomly coming
26:23
into this films like i talk
26:25
to people periodically and
26:27
they're like what you do a guy do park as well alex
26:30
jones you know that yes and you
26:32
know he's not somebody who everyone
26:35
knows about there's a lot of people who have an unformed
26:37
opinion about him right and you go
26:39
into this documentary and all
26:41
the information that it provides is
26:43
incomplete the up with had say one
26:46
thinks he knows who alex's am he's
26:48
been told that this documentary provides
26:50
a fair portraits and people he doesn't like
26:52
don't like the movie so he gung ho about padding
26:55
himself on the back and congratulating boy
26:57
iran or act of enlightened still making
26:59
those basking in their own fucking delusions
27:01
and and illustrating how little they know about
27:03
the subject that they're actually zoc yeah i mean
27:05
it's disgusting i can't imagine
27:08
what are next selma mussolini a profile
27:10
in courage is going to be about vita
27:12
i think i've i've heard that it shows a balanced
27:15
view of mussolini right up until
27:17
nineteen forty one i you know
27:19
the just that he's a great guy not as
27:21
exalt misunderstood i think so
27:23
need to over correct and like
27:26
do some film about something
27:28
that i thought right wing angry or something
27:30
it's the overcorrected to jump off a bridge
27:33
so said that the wrong turn over to maybe
27:35
a little tool hundred artistically over
27:37
correct adversary was that
27:40
, no a puff piece about
27:44
about is so terrorists are so nice but
27:46
i don't know bill airs easily
27:48
the best well
27:51
they'll be an interesting that albeit his his exams
27:54
are you a alex comes out here we are
27:56
high so you want to end the weirdness of
27:58
talking about alex jones
27:59
right in front of him if it's if is not
28:02
here and bring him up and say side
28:05
the operating
28:05
mine our
28:14
never mind
28:15
you should have a may wonder why we
28:17
can share share ,
28:20
i mean mean have an office and you do
28:22
to be heard you on a on side
28:25
, hot that
28:27
are lobbying listen dad
28:30
got word that are that has to be honest twenty has years
28:32
old a habit i miss everything
28:34
purity i'm a lot of mistakes of
28:36
a lot of as dot the wasn't on purpose so
28:39
is where we would we'd ringwald twitter here
28:41
without lawyers and the things
28:43
i didn't allow purpose i'm at a lot of mistakes
28:46
but i'm not some person getting worse
28:48
and lying to people and were provide nine
28:50
percent accurate represent wrong and nine
28:52
want to get better as much as
28:54
where i met and these quakes beer where unless you
28:56
made a film that is kind
28:59
of shows what we've done is a look at
29:01
has come we've horrifying obnoxious i am
29:03
an end of it a good but on
29:05
oxygen from a pier and
29:07
as the end of the day like a did
29:09
not lot of the go on purpose mixed
29:12
action purpose am legend
29:14
as my business
29:18
the allows me as they begin by
29:20
ask you a little bit about that in some
29:22
see your intentions
29:24
the didn't have a good indication of how stilted
29:26
this q and i as any decent
29:28
interviewer might hear that opening statement
29:31
that alex made and first say are
29:33
you okay and after clearing that
29:35
up you'd probably point out that unprompted
29:38
are alex just said that they that
29:40
he didn't ever intentionally life
29:42
three times in about a minute
29:45
that kind of feels like somebody's lies intentionally
29:47
really trying to stress that they don't do
29:49
that and of your instinct is to follow
29:51
up all my i guess you just a better journalists
29:54
than i can ever imagine being also
29:56
we're not to latch onto that we're ninety
29:58
percent accurate climb but not
30:00
something they could stand to be explored like
30:02
how do you quantify that doesn't actually mean
30:04
anything or is that just an evasive catchphrase
30:07
that you used to try to dodge responsibility
30:09
for the horrible things you say and do
30:11
all the fucking time share i mean you're forgetting
30:14
six years immortal line you know me thinks
30:16
you can't possibly protest too much into
30:18
of misses me thinks of you dos santos
30:21
is it has it off is why would steer
30:24
, write all the time time , what
30:27
is mean that are you
30:29
on the synthesis so
30:31
gland gunners started into started question
30:34
there and here's where here's goes and
30:36
if you're expecting it to be like hey
30:39
let me ask you about that you say you
30:41
don't lie oh what what what
30:43
do you mean that's about it so
30:45
, for me as against i asked
30:47
me a little bit about that in some see your intentions
30:50
and and the like because i when
30:52
i remember when i watched the film it was dissociating
30:55
this early footage of you and i remember when the
30:57
internet first discovered some of the early pictures
30:59
of you from your public access days and often
31:02
i remember liberals being almost horrified that
31:04
with his cognitive dissonance that we're supposed to look
31:06
at them as a screaming spitting monster and yet
31:08
these these pictures or disturbingly handsome
31:10
on and is like very own nutrition
31:12
order waiting months or your now you
31:15
request very beginning how to kind of charisma
31:17
a natural charisma or so handsome and now
31:19
you're ugly even sat in the what happened they saw
31:21
you in so when you combine that you're so as to be so
31:23
you had when you are young as a great my should
31:25
clearly had you been somebody who
31:27
is willing to affirm rather than class and establishment
31:30
hyades could have ended up as i
31:33
i meteorologists on like good morning america
31:35
are like some anderson cooper anderson and
31:38
i'm wondering if you are aware of that
31:40
potential and purposely chose
31:43
to rejected for a different path is
31:45
kind of half an hour passed
31:47
that we're surrounded by the isolate and
31:49
it's i'll always whether it was to so
31:52
natural to your personality that your
31:54
never even considered trying to to
31:56
pursue it knocks on a mainstream acceptability
31:59
when mainstream was
31:59
the about drive hundred a day
32:04
that's were going to them that
32:07
is worse question as well alex's
32:09
three times a minute that he doesn't lie
32:11
on purpose but is the right ninety percent
32:13
of the time glenn besides the open with a question
32:15
predicated on how alex was a handsome young
32:18
man stays upstairs is just pathetic
32:20
because track this question it's
32:22
basically asking a did you make
32:24
basically conscious decision to not be as rich
32:26
and famous as your talents would make you deserving
32:29
of being because being were too invested
32:31
in questioning the power structure or
32:33
is it just me just instinctual nature
32:35
to be to rebel who questioned the power
32:37
structure so the decision to not be
32:39
super rich and famous wasn't even and decision
32:42
it's basically like are you so awesome
32:44
by choice or choice nature i mean
32:46
if you you almost went too
32:48
long for
32:49
yeah i would have gone with why is your
32:51
dick so big how did
32:53
it get so big that is the
32:55
biggest dick i've ever seen as
32:57
another reading over the earth this is embarrassing
33:00
personally because it's basically
33:02
answered in the film but also
33:04
because it kind of ignores the reality this
33:07
is how it's never tried to get a job where he'd have
33:09
a boss or advertisers that word
33:11
a cd gold salesmen and a book
33:13
about where to hide guns he wouldn't have lasted
33:16
more than a month he is talented
33:18
but he's not that talented to the point where
33:20
an employer would look past as extreme
33:23
oppositional defiant because he's
33:25
got the goods depth of
33:27
you know howard stern let's say
33:29
no no no no no this question
33:31
is predicated on false construct of
33:33
what alex could and could not have done
33:36
as a younger man yeah he was handsome
33:38
yes he was talented by it
33:40
was also alex jones that whole time
33:43
if you take his story in the documentary at all
33:45
seriously you shouldn't have to ask
33:48
this question alex talks about
33:50
how he got fired from a radio station because
33:52
he wouldn't stop talking about waco alex
33:54
took the path he did because it was the only
33:56
path available to him that allowed him
33:58
to satisfy his needs attention and
34:00
for nobody to ever be able to tell him what
34:02
to do quite something
34:05
really this q and a was never going to be
34:07
hard hitting but i didn't predict it
34:09
would open this was i mean as yeah
34:11
that was tough for here here's a good
34:14
know here if you want to do that beatles
34:16
like hey listen man you had that moment
34:18
where there were two paths become a know
34:20
rock god or work at a grocery
34:22
store you know what was it that really
34:24
turn this and i would have been like hey alex
34:27
you could have been a father of at least
34:29
ten why didn't you become that's
34:31
alec klein doesn't know and you put off in
34:33
you could have been in jail for murder why
34:36
did you become an info wars hosts say
34:38
excuse me have you ever heard
34:40
your own story about your childhood
34:43
why didn't you put it in this fucking movie i'm
34:45
to the guess like glenn's awareness of alec
34:47
starts and ends with things later in
34:49
this documentary a verb
34:51
affected everybody doesn't like him death
34:53
and then gets more money for at the out there
34:56
and and maybe maybe
34:58
of the like really broad the things
35:00
that people know like use against the iraq war
35:02
he mad mad he hates the establishment
35:04
glenn greenwald should be against him
35:07
for glenn with for the iraq
35:09
war so is his body tucker right weird
35:11
how anyway here's alex's answer
35:14
to that question of well
35:16
, a big that big gap or
35:19
whether it was to so natural
35:21
to your personality that your never even
35:23
considered trying to to pursue it
35:25
knocks on a mainstream acceptability glenn
35:28
mainstream was thinking about drown her today what
35:30
am i to say gotta
35:32
, think think brought that up no
35:35
no no seriously guys really guys my
35:38
enemy sammis lex luthor mastermind
35:41
and i we don't say that you're a moron
35:43
of that i as know as as
35:45
the study's about those and politics
35:48
and read like books by zbigniew
35:50
brzezinski and like these were scary things were
35:53
, no friends no idea no
35:55
plan and the this idea
35:58
that all on this mastermind
36:00
here is opposite american films
36:03
are they are that are you know as
36:05
and so and , a problem myself
36:07
now this is what they literally think how much
36:10
as evil mastermind and i literally
36:12
can't balance a checkbook answer to
36:14
attach to be constantly like forza secrets
36:17
where's the russians words of who's here is a
36:19
mercer is usually orders am
36:21
i am someone the news or him opinion
36:23
on something and so and i had no idea
36:25
when i was doing doing as this
36:27
was some to america and like have
36:29
a libertarian i did like republicans
36:32
and like demographic and i was is what's known
36:34
what's often as to see race
36:37
or college try to get her to have to sort
36:39
of the couple years even be three
36:42
the radio sides and was involved
36:44
with access to these so was it was basically
36:47
my mom political beliefs lot
36:49
of pro freedom my got involved
36:51
and was immediately successful than i
36:53
was like
36:54
i know i figure out when and try to be truthful
36:56
may one episode was but none
36:59
of it was with now a lazy none of it was
37:01
majority by there are to talk
37:03
about the mistakes for certain if you middle
37:05
of shouldn't be a complete discuss in without
37:07
ever forget to that is why
37:10
why wouldn't be complete disgust anyway
37:14
this isn't really an answer declines question but
37:16
glenn doesn't give a shit in fairness i
37:18
guess it's like a half answer with an answer
37:20
to a completely different question makes
37:22
them also you might notice that alex
37:24
and of that ramble by again saying that he
37:26
never meant to lie and of here
37:28
greenwald it's a conscious choice to
37:30
ignore that happening so much
37:33
a neutral observer would look at their behavior unsafe
37:36
this person really seems to be going out of his
37:38
way to say that he doesn't lie on purpose and yet
37:41
no one here has accused him of that at
37:43
all that seems like something he's being
37:45
super defensive about a maybe if
37:47
i want to have a full discussion i should
37:49
check in on that glaring dynamic that's
37:51
playing out right in front of me i
37:53
guess you could just ignore it and power thirty your
37:55
neck softball question though that certainly another option
37:58
i mean i'm so
37:59
fucking furious at glen already
38:02
you know like it's as like
38:04
this is a dude who will
38:06
go out of his way to try and destroy
38:08
your young journalists career cool
38:10
fucking sick his sycophantic bullshit
38:13
people on other people to destroy
38:15
their lives then go and fuck insights
38:17
alex you got the biggest dick in the world
38:19
how do you walk with a dick this big it's
38:22
so huge
38:23
but he won't even talk and talk to me he
38:25
won't even blocked me on twitter if you know
38:27
why because i don't have any fucking restraints
38:29
that young journalists she could lose your job of see go
38:31
the majority zippo fuckers but
38:33
instead
38:34
we're we're untethered from the
38:37
uk what are you mad at me
38:40
have anything to gain do brasil
38:42
i do think there's a really funny thing
38:45
in that you're mad that he won't block i
38:47
want this , that he
38:49
knows and he's just a coward he doesn't
38:51
even have the guts to acknowledge it was
38:53
shocked me usually doing knowledge i didn't see
38:55
this be you told me that somebody who
38:57
tweeted at him but whoever earth under
38:59
ten following on of beauty it
39:01
we block this would they said that he
39:03
said listen to ourselves yup yup
39:06
so believe me you know you know
39:08
that's a little suspicious yeah so
39:11
i'm glen out here is his next
39:13
question here and i think there's a little colonel us
39:15
open and here actually every to
39:17
talk about the mistakes for certain in a few
39:20
minutes is it wouldn't be a complete discussion
39:22
without ever forget the that as i you
39:24
know the question of your politics i i
39:26
think so interesting in this is up with frighten me watching
39:29
the film is there's
39:31
a the idea there's this idea you
39:33
know if you are somebody with white political faction
39:36
or ideology is alex jones associated they
39:38
would instantly say on the far right and
39:40
i'm awesome you a wonder what all the
39:42
for most people thought about doing it spreading
39:45
huge amounts of skepticism and down could have asked
39:47
why a view and i was gonna say
39:50
your confronting the f b i well before
39:52
trump's began spreading that kind of skepticism
39:55
intervals like you're cycling that question where how
39:57
extreme and are talking about the other say before
39:59
eleven your warning about the dangers of
40:02
exaggerating the threats of bin laden and al qaeda
40:04
in order to kind of bring it into as a sort of
40:06
authority authoritarian and following
40:09
a giant not harding said all
40:11
very associated with the last have been saying
40:13
for a long time kind of opposing these institutions
40:16
of of of authoritarianism
40:18
warning about how they exploit people's
40:21
perceptions , put the poppy population
40:23
in fear how have you seen yourself
40:25
ideologically and and politically
40:27
i'm years exactly
40:30
, as a dumb question
40:32
but there's a little bit of truth in it alex
40:34
was skeptical of all these organizations like the
40:36
f b i the cia early on but there's
40:38
also context is missing from all of this
40:40
and it's not something you're gonna get from glan
40:42
of mileage themselves and certainly not from
40:44
a spell
40:45
alex he did these groups now because of some
40:47
kind of a principled opposition things like spying
40:50
the way glad is blaming the question alex
40:52
a to these groups because of waco ruby raids
40:55
in the oklahoma city bombing he
40:57
just drove to them because after okay see
40:59
the issue of right wing militia violence was a
41:01
high priority for law enforcement sinner
41:03
put a serious whole to the momentum that
41:05
the extreme right we're seeing in terms of organizing
41:08
it wasn't in opposition to the idea of spying
41:10
or the f b i it was it alex now but
41:12
they were focused on people who are too much like
41:14
himself similarly
41:17
his opposition to over hyping the threat of been lot
41:19
and was also really just about his fears
41:21
about the government cracking down on far right militias
41:24
he didn't oppose spying on like suspected
41:26
muslim terrorists for it's own sake
41:29
he just thought it was a smokescreen to eventually
41:31
spy on christian as
41:33
as well as extremists yeah i mean they might
41:35
as a here's your better way of framing that question
41:38
alex you oppose the
41:41
f b i because they're not solely out
41:43
to get non white people how long
41:45
has that been going on for but glenwood
41:47
have no way to know any of that stuff
41:49
to view and prepare for this interview at all i
41:51
really didn't know anything except of
41:54
tired of hearing that is it it feels
41:56
it's not it's makes it worse exactly
41:58
the it's a willful ignorance of
42:00
the subject you're covering or i'm
42:03
a you do know some things and you're just pretending
42:06
not to know their rikers who be inconvenient
42:08
for the energy will be a terrible idea to know those
42:10
things it's fine to give it
42:12
up to alex that on paper a lot
42:14
of his positions about things like the an essay are
42:16
good but to pretend that are based in some kind
42:18
of a principled believe has a little bit much
42:21
taking alec seriously on this issue with
42:23
honestly kind of funny because he's the last
42:25
person i would accuse of being a serious opponent
42:28
of authoritarian leadership for
42:30
one thing he made cartoonish accusations
42:33
about how like obama was going to become a tyrant
42:35
like he was gonna dissolve the government the the could
42:37
turn the country to part of part one world calafate
42:40
that he ruled the callous eight deaths engaging
42:42
with the notion of tyranny like this indicates
42:45
this indicates of seriousness about the subject
42:47
and not somebody who use it up as their
42:49
thoughts on because the rock and there
42:51
could be a point or you could look at
42:53
how you behave with trump he was cheering
42:55
on trump's authoritarian leanings at every
42:57
turn and yelling the trump's needed to go further
43:00
he wanted trump to imprison his political
43:02
enemies take over the media militarized
43:04
the border and outlaw the democratic
43:06
party if there's a someone you're taking it
43:09
all seriously on the subject of authoritarianism
43:11
the joke is on you also
43:13
alex is politics are really simple he
43:16
the john birch society styled anti
43:18
communist reactionary who wants
43:20
to install a white christian heterosexual
43:22
dominated state
43:27
i mean it's just a but he's not going to tell you
43:29
that i'd be guys that it's like either i
43:31
just don't know go and time you don't have
43:33
a place and alex's world just in case you're wondering
43:36
what , good luck to ya no
43:38
es you want a fawn over the guy
43:40
who wants to him weird
43:43
and oh my god state not or oh
43:45
he's only going after trans people right now
43:47
i'm sure whenever he's done with that he's
43:49
gonna stop that's how
43:51
it works right what you go after lgbtq
43:54
you you stop after one of the letters
43:56
you don't go after all of them that makes
43:59
sense though the going going may
44:01
learn a hard lesson the dave rubin is
44:03
learning currently at some point yeah
44:05
i've which i don't enjoy there's no jordan
44:08
frighten that know locked up yeah awful
44:10
stretch and why yeah it's the
44:14
way alex response to this question that you
44:16
very rarely pointed out blind was basically
44:18
answering in the delivery of the away
44:21
the air because i think maybe
44:23
partially because the said it's just i
44:26
don't know the fucking even as a of there is a good how
44:28
are you seeing yourself ideologically
44:30
and and politically i'm years
44:33
a , that exactly boring starting
44:35
out like ninety five ninety six first articles
44:38
rights communist alex jones
44:40
no sense i suppose it gives
44:42
wars and surveillance such as see
44:45
much will be all right so keen on to this
44:47
real quick ninety four ninety
44:49
five alex jones is a communist the
44:52
way how old was a well first
44:54
of all a good athlete and remedies beginning his career
44:56
dried really gave a shit know and he was
44:58
opposed to bill clinton at the time yeah
45:01
he was attacking from the right he's trying to pretend
45:03
that he was call the communists because he opposed bush
45:05
is so it's not a better for as
45:07
mythology to have that in his background them
45:09
to be of right wing sit back from the start for
45:12
her death so sad and our
45:14
songs are suisham william physically
45:16
smells i was younger sounds like the constitution
45:19
and so i wasn't even be right wing or left wing
45:22
i was simply so you all from
45:24
of freedom as that's a fun thing to do eyes
45:26
as forwards everyman and sip of the spend
45:28
them the national i've never seen
45:32
eighteen years he also said i want
45:34
to fly you out here to california and
45:36
will and will wants you to ideal meal
45:39
of as to as a science we will
45:41
you know we're doing so gets her house and sub
45:43
mariner put movies hikes so you're
45:45
really a good liberal right her hips these wars
45:48
and curious george bush oh my god is
45:50
towards most and , did is here that
45:52
was pro gone are innocent as i am
45:54
so they're like oh every harvest
45:56
love with arrows have dinner and dinner saw
45:59
were talking like
45:59
anthony hopkins
46:02
eat roast beef and beans
46:04
house in malibu and i might watch this place
46:07
cuz i had no idea my private
46:09
jet landslide by the california report
46:12
young filmmaker you're exposing
46:14
the evil astonishing
46:23
i know if if if
46:25
if it's a bomb on i'm i am
46:27
, don't like what bomb bomb is continuing the
46:30
same stuff so to me i
46:32
literally just went on ecstasy below
46:34
twenty one years old and will have already have you
46:36
actually to facilitate three
46:39
to resolve tom tom mistakes
46:41
budget of replace the truth what i experienced
46:43
like hollywood and what it does
46:46
and the royals on the hollywood might have and
46:48
just just great experience
46:50
over twenty years on air of like
46:53
see all the weird underbellies
46:56
of all the stuff because i didn't come into
46:59
his from establishment into his
47:01
came out of access team in austin texas
47:03
and so because i was apparently restructures
47:06
i got to see stuff nobody else sing
47:08
the me me as to the the a similar
47:10
questions the one as allies for jews
47:12
i were the girls and answer to glance closet
47:15
whatever there's no reason to ask to ask
47:18
up to the original question because clinton
47:20
really care much about to begin with the
47:23
router to launch a bad for alex to go off on
47:25
some rambling diatribe it's eventually
47:27
going to include him saying that he doesn't lie
47:29
on purpose at some point very defensive
47:31
about that does seem like that almost like
47:33
he's about to go on trial sure
47:36
what miss out on trial here number
47:38
music the super defence feel you
47:41
don't find really interesting though like well at
47:43
alex's all these stories with these left wing folks
47:45
like martin seen mistakenly think anybody's
47:48
on the left because the hated bush but you
47:50
never really heard stories about right wingers
47:52
who invited alexander only to realize that
47:54
he isn't right wing after all sure
47:57
yeah like that the time when ann coulter was on
47:59
his own she lived them for being so far
48:01
right that he sounded like lyndon larouche but
48:03
i don't think anyone other i would talk to
48:05
alex and come away disappointed thing that
48:07
always not on our side man he's a rhino
48:10
i would alec says he's a rhino body
48:12
the
48:14
anyway glenn as another
48:16
question for alex that is
48:18
really just
48:20
the hype man shit clooney me as
48:22
to the the a similar questions the when asked
48:24
allies for jews you
48:26
know it is so striking when striking began reading about politics
48:28
in two thousand and five le mans groups
48:31
how does anthony hopkins like as rose be that
48:33
is a good question liberals heated
48:36
more than anybody george bush the
48:38
architects of the iraq war i began
48:40
writing and opposition to rendition and
48:42
the torture regime and guantanamo and due
48:44
process free imprisonment insists
48:47
are striking that i more valuable
48:49
that band who were implementing as were advocating
48:52
is are completely acceptable in fact
48:54
the last and mainstream liberal
48:56
circles liberals was media outlets and consume
48:58
media outlets that employers people
49:01
as everything i could interview all of them and i would
49:03
be applauded by liberals and yet you
49:05
to back in two thousand and four were saying
49:08
don't trust george w bush his father
49:10
was the cia director the if iraq
49:12
war is based on lies all things that
49:14
auto appeal to that sensibility
49:16
liberal you are uniquely castigated
49:19
and kind of passed out of good
49:21
company the point where you're one of the very few
49:23
people that when journalists are told they can't speak
49:25
you why is that why have you
49:28
been identified as such a threat
49:30
in a way that other people who actually have bought
49:32
other hand and wars on their legacy
49:35
aren't even remotely past
49:37
as will , an answer a question
49:39
and i have yet only learn to swim
49:41
through haneke experience
49:43
oversight over every going to
49:45
take up is concerned with himself and
49:47
his good buddy tucker who was viewed
49:49
sport or the war back of his boat of do you
49:52
think this you think interesting point although
49:54
one as alex's nothing interesting to
49:56
spare or to say on the subject still
49:58
has been some attempts to
49:59
rehabilitate the images of people like george w
50:02
bush and that's been a distasteful thing to say
50:04
a to see that said i don't
50:06
think it's been as successful as glenn is pretending
50:08
and i don't know how many fawning pieces
50:11
were seeing about like dick cheney or karl rove
50:13
these days the to to
50:15
is larger point though all of the mainstream media
50:17
outlets of trump people on their rosters of talking
50:19
heads like kellyanne conway was just
50:22
conway cbs today and she was the person
50:24
the really yeah geez the person that trump was hired
50:26
to lie to the media for him it
50:28
does suck but media outlets do features
50:31
some shitty people but there are people who
50:33
fall within fall certain spectrum of
50:35
shininess and most right thinking
50:37
people understand that alex is outside that
50:39
ram it does feel like all the networks
50:41
have networks have farm somewhere i
50:44
suspect that a giant part of alex's
50:46
you know not being allowed in is
50:48
a i think it's less about what alex believes
50:51
or would say and more about how we would act
50:54
he's already shown himself through countless appearances
50:56
to be unable to stop himself from just yelling
50:58
and self promoting instead of actually doing
51:00
an interview like with piers morgan andrew
51:03
neil in a the uk or
51:05
the time that he was on the view if i
51:07
were at t v booker i'd be pretty aware
51:09
that alex isn't going to be a guest the participates
51:11
in any discussion you might be trying to have but
51:13
he's just going to steamroll everything and yell info
51:15
wars dot com the city
51:18
guest as further evidence by his appearances
51:20
on the podcast like flagrant to
51:22
and rogan it just gets wasted
51:24
yells nonsense or the only reason you'd want
51:27
him around as if you're looking for a spectacle
51:29
most tv shows wouldn't consider the spectacle
51:31
to be worth the hassle of having alex on
51:34
but the math is different for desperate people
51:36
and charlatans so the us are here
51:38
we are yeah that explains the situation
51:40
yeah yeah adding the as
51:43
glenn's question so far are living
51:45
more than up to my standard in fact
51:47
i did not expect that day a
51:50
he would be asking alex something along
51:52
the lines of alex your view hurt
51:54
shoes are so great we are night and you
51:56
a paladin of truth tomorrow tell
51:58
me more about how you came by them vit
52:01
this question particular i think i would translate
52:03
as like why would anyone will you come on their show
52:05
is it because you're to write about things
52:08
also isn't it really awesome
52:10
the i'm not scared to interview you like all those
52:12
other media outlets i'm pretty awesome
52:14
to yeah yeah it's nice
52:17
hillary doing it's nice to have
52:19
a to of the biggest dicks people in the
52:21
world get to share a stayed together for
52:23
one moment you know it's rare to see
52:25
this happen
52:26
the years alex's answer to whatever question
52:28
that one guy on an answer a question
52:31
and and as of yet always regret going
52:33
through any experiences
52:35
with
52:37
my lot of other me undies uma
52:39
hillbillies people apart establishment
52:42
but , they're not scared of all shows they're
52:44
scared a populist movements and
52:46
the fact i was a left winger right way
52:49
the fact that i was says pro america
52:51
pro freedom of they read
52:54
me really wasn't me they just saw me
52:57
as like saw merger people i'm like
52:59
okay this this is what the american people
53:01
produced this is organic
53:03
to they wouldn't check out who i was no it was this
53:09
is this is the enemy and so it's
53:11
their hatred of the general public their
53:13
hatred of the organic express one's
53:16

53:40
i'm not that strong their weeks
53:43
and thus the scale
53:48
though you know is is it is
53:50
in as it is interesting that the thing they hate
53:52
most people who develop influence and a
53:54
significant audience without being passive
53:57
to their structures and their influence wow
53:59
the need one for high either
54:02
hey listen to look at look at what's
54:04
happening now i'm develops
54:07
that's bullshit about that lesiba glimpse
54:09
know that either that either weird now
54:13
ha ha also
54:16
i mean it's all good well to talk about alex not
54:18
being beholden to cnn
54:20
or ah news core
54:23
but he got a million a bitcoin from somebody
54:25
who crazy this crazy guess
54:28
anti you spent most of his career hawking
54:31

54:33
beholden to constantly doing
54:35
view earth is gonna fall apart so you better
54:37

54:54
or my you're writing your out your anger is
54:56
pushed into the document now you are free
54:58
yes yes i'm still reliving it
55:00
for the first time are living for the first of
55:03
yes so here is in the next question
55:05
and i actually think that this is going
55:07
to best question guy or
55:09
it doesn't just shorter it doesn't go anywhere
55:12
and i might be misinterpreting it or
55:14
get it is interesting that the thing they hate
55:16
most people who develop influence and a
55:18
significant audience without being captive
55:20
to their structures in their influence madison
55:23
thing that defines what you've done
55:25
as a more than anything you came at a public access
55:27
t v which was tolerated because it's supposed to
55:29
be a joke that no one watches and
55:31
is you develop this gigantic audience
55:33
and clearly part of why is because you have
55:35
a kind of
55:37
so many charisma kind of veto
55:39
in our team is components you that the
55:41
people wanna watch and one of the things that
55:43
struck me was you know you were talking early on
55:45
and in in this funny episode
55:48
about how and you are twelve you would see these creatures
55:50
with rolls royces and gigantic houses doing
55:52
coke off hookers brass than and
55:54
whenever and are utilized and i'm
55:56
have been they as a similar kind of showmanship
55:58
they were able to get people get watch and by the
56:00
end of the film are watching you talking about
56:03
praying for president bush and
56:05
seats haneke influences in a way that
56:07
see i'm just wondering snows be honest
56:09
i became the abyss of the up a bit of
56:11
was there of would you notice that of
56:13
kind of similar know when you know today i
56:16
became when i saw but ,
56:18
a good cause that was on purpose purpose
56:21
have forty i sit on our see you know
56:23
i was like damn us are sluts that records
56:27
rub rolls royce was brilliant now
56:30
, mean i mean i was sure that thoughtlessly
56:32
but the others are several i mean among mean
56:34
lot of yards from yards preacher and
56:37
yards and a only now i'm like four years
56:39
was yours or mine whoa what about and doing
56:41
or how are you a six year olds
56:43
ago damn when i was doing like like
56:46
damn i did all that like south african
56:48
horrible person but the buses i
56:51
do it consciously this that was what
56:53
is lying for your formulas i
56:55
didn't ever do stuff on purpose so
56:57
this could actually be interpreted as a brief scathing
57:00
question which may be why alex dogs
57:02
the real meaning behind of my third of on the charisma
57:04
talking about cities the point
57:06
of the preacher's being cities the vivid that
57:09
alex or as a the he wasn't that they were preachers
57:11
a bit as they were hypocrites they
57:13
were pious as an axe to make money
57:16
and then in their realize they did coke have
57:18
sex workers on boats if
57:20
take him as it appears to be asked
57:22
glenn's question would seem to be asking about
57:24
a possible dynamic were alex has become the
57:26
same kind of hypocrites rated what the
57:28
devil on air to make money but living
57:30
a discordant lights practice i'm
57:33
not sure if that's what glenn was getting at but
57:35
that's the most generous interpretation i can come
57:37
up with so i get have been made in
57:39
his point as good as a as possible
57:41
to your best in response alex
57:43
puts on this little show it returns with to
57:45
wrestle with the idea that he's a preacher and
57:48
that he's done bad stuff in the past or
57:50
whatever great not that he is a preacher on
57:52
air and a millionaire all fair if
57:54
nothing else alex does have good instincts
57:57
were on went to distract from dangerous
57:59
points also he brought back up
58:01
that whole i don't lie on purpose think again
58:03
which is really starting to become more and more
58:05
suspicious the glenn is not calling it out
58:08
i mean that number of times
58:10
that he is essentially saying because
58:12
i didn't do bad on purpose
58:15
do not hold me accountable for doing bad
58:17
as though the only crime in the world
58:19
is first degree murder
58:22
all other crimes are legal the wanted
58:24
it's not premeditated murder year
58:26
golden baby bro
58:28
apologize sorry and
58:30
then cast another job
58:31
it's like i'm it's it's
58:33
like the reverse of the john stuart
58:35
mill out of the the only thing that
58:38
is good is it only thing that is truly good
58:40
as a good well yes and or
58:42
though the only thing as bad as a badly on the
58:45
side that is why john stuart
58:47
mill was an idiot the guy which would
58:49
agree with you and tells i use lane
58:53
anyway so this next clip they're
58:55
talking about january sixth and
58:57
alex's some stuff that i think is really
58:59
fucking stupid and is glen had
59:01
any awareness of alex's career and what
59:03
he does on air you'd be able to
59:06
recognize that he was being lied to at
59:08
all if i had it all to do
59:11
again i was just step back and said
59:13
biden just shake the ship zoo it happens
59:16
because a man i'm not a revolutionary leader in
59:18
like war i'm not trying to lead troops
59:20
i don't have some weird thing in my head like that here
59:22
except military g i joe guy fifth
59:24
of that but when you get a million people in d
59:26
c it doesn't matter even
59:29
if they're being manipulated you steal
59:31
your response voice some lot of guilt over
59:33
j or search bar because he could
59:35
a got really bad is a federal
59:37
provocateurs either way they would have the
59:40
cubes people would have actually kidnap
59:43
max health policy and put him in handcuffs
59:46
be a marshal out of a nice because that would have been
59:48
asked that for the capital that would
59:50
have been to country gone down the tubes we came
59:53
is is is january six a close
59:55
it was a died it was meant
59:57
to provocateur us to do a violent events
59:59
that the to get out of control thank god it failed
1:00:02
and so i've always been brought the edge
1:00:04
of deaths and so january
1:00:06
six to be very serious of us here but the
1:00:09
underlying causes as january
1:00:11
six with with others such bullshit like
1:00:13
it was taken as gospel fact on in
1:00:15
for wars that is biden got into office
1:00:17
the literal christian devil would take his place
1:00:19
as the head of the country aligned with
1:00:21
com i used china and he would be
1:00:24
all over for the patriots as
1:00:26
soon as wide got into office folks
1:00:28
like alex would be rounded up and sent to camps
1:00:31
as the orderly d population
1:00:33
of the planet took off now
1:00:35
in hindsight since i didn't happen it's
1:00:37
so fun for alex to say if i
1:00:40
could do it all over i'd just let biden get
1:00:42
into office and sales because it you
1:00:44
know to take responsibility for the rhetoric
1:00:46
he was using before the election would
1:00:48
just be embarrassing now and
1:00:50
glenn doesn't know where doesn't care about what
1:00:52
alex has on his show right all he knows
1:00:54
what he saw his dumped documentaries who is gonna let
1:00:56
this bullshit stand unquestioned i
1:00:59
would call that the mark of in unprepared
1:01:02
interviewer this is not
1:01:04
good when you have something like this
1:01:06
there is a very clear next follow
1:01:08
up questions yes that is okay
1:01:10
if you're you're saying the
1:01:13
if you could do this all over again you
1:01:15
would just lie biden get into office and
1:01:17
then we you know see whatever we're seeing
1:01:19
now are you lying
1:01:22
to me now or were you lying to your audience
1:01:24
about the devil ascending to the throne and
1:01:26
aligning with communist china and
1:01:28
everything being over the day biden comes
1:01:31
adolphus you like your audience
1:01:33
are lying to makes i am lying to
1:01:35
both of you right sort
1:01:39
of pointed out into their into their of alex's
1:01:41
talk about the the idea
1:01:43
that there was an underlying cause of
1:01:46
january six the matter courses the
1:01:48
election fraud story line
1:01:50
i assume glenda the follow up with likes okay
1:01:53
so you think it was if it
1:01:55
were gone wrong you know you think
1:01:57
you'd gone wrong and if it had gone right it
1:01:59
would have been back why do you think it would
1:02:01
have been bad if it had gone right
1:02:04
wouldn't you be as the fucking
1:02:06
white house press corresponded sit on
1:02:09
also didn't hear employee who was
1:02:11
hosting your show for you say the capital
1:02:13
is falling on the patriots are now interest
1:02:15
he thinks that the patriots being in charge is a good
1:02:17
thing certainly one of your employees were celebrating
1:02:20
it as it was happening seems i a
1:02:22
weird anyways i want to have an election
1:02:25
fraud about it in this case
1:02:27
where you are saying there was widespread boss did
1:02:29
you actually can dogs were you feel like is
1:02:31
kind of a meticulous a forensic analysis
1:02:34
of the voting patterns and conclude
1:02:36
that there was brought in the states sufficient to have
1:02:38
fun me a lesson or was this kind of as he so
1:02:41
like a way of saying that the
1:02:43
establishment was so against trump from the beginning
1:02:45
is illegitimate ways that i'm going to
1:02:47
kind of endorse this cause
1:02:49
enough because it's necessarily true
1:02:51
and it's the particulars but more as kind of
1:02:53
us some matic way of protesting or
1:02:55
nami i'll be honest which was
1:02:57
established visitor i'll be honest it
1:02:59
was young know it was it was based feel
1:03:02
that
1:03:03
obviously bolland more was a trump's
1:03:06
and these can we saw the weird you
1:03:08
know anomalies in like democrats blocking
1:03:11
the windows and people ,
1:03:13
feeding machines full of things and so
1:03:15
he saw some evidence in but we were expecting
1:03:17
m s and season says have
1:03:19
a foregone conclusion and we all interest
1:03:22
or dark least but it's kind of fifty fifty
1:03:24
and i was able to thousand meals or
1:03:28
or by couple of us from but
1:03:30
less sick way it's better that bags in
1:03:33
so we now get to see was established was really about
1:03:35
but was really all we
1:03:37
speculation from right away and so
1:03:39
kind of when you're a hammer everything's a male
1:03:42
i mean i think the destroying our views
1:03:44
obviously and also shows admits
1:03:47
he distorted view so there was evidence of the fraud
1:03:49
and it got covered up dot suppress but i'm
1:03:52
not gonna lie and say we didn't
1:03:54
i didn't distort my views in hindsight
1:03:57
to what was alex
1:03:58
there you know i think one the things
1:04:00
that think about oh i agree follow glenn the
1:04:03
as ours media it's function is
1:04:05
to spread disinformation they like constantly
1:04:08
in ways far worse than word with you
1:04:10
decide that exactly i have been i believe
1:04:12
because i don't want to be a liar like them on purpose
1:04:14
while so once again really driving home
1:04:16
by point that alex insists he doesn't lie
1:04:18
on purpose which scientists had make anyone
1:04:21
listening as suspicious that he feels
1:04:23
guilty about how much he lives on purpose
1:04:25
i mean it is a fuckin lot man
1:04:27
yeah he's saying that a lot too much
1:04:30
yeah also listening to this guy
1:04:32
should really be picking up on what alex hussein
1:04:35
alex is essentially saying that his entire coverage
1:04:37
of the question of election fraud have a twenty twenty
1:04:39
election was a pre determined narrative he
1:04:41
decided he'd report on before
1:04:44
the election up for anything ever happened
1:04:46
gifts alex insists there was
1:04:48
evidence of fraud but any half
1:04:50
decent interviewer might want to point out that this
1:04:52
evidence that alex's bring up like the two thousand
1:04:55
mules things so bullshit
1:04:57
and would alex is describing his confirmation
1:04:59
bias he'd made up his mind
1:05:02
and then anything then saw can be used to justify
1:05:05
the conclusion the already had in mind
1:05:07
he was already you know which is anything that affirmed
1:05:09
that was automatically considered bombshell
1:05:11
proof bombshell proof fraud because he desperately
1:05:14
needed to justify the narrative he was gonna
1:05:16
sell his audience no matter what seems
1:05:19
to fly directly in the face of the hundred
1:05:21
times alec says that he doesn't lie on purpose
1:05:23
and the only way to really square the circle
1:05:26
is to suggest that may be out of new
1:05:28
really know the difference between lying and telling the
1:05:30
truth the i mean if you're saying
1:05:32
that i've never lied on purpose you don't understand
1:05:34
what ally is ally is purposeful
1:05:37
you can't fly not on purpose
1:05:39
that is true you can be wrong you
1:05:41
can't lie unless you know the answer
1:05:44
that you are obfuscated minds ray
1:05:46
are that's not how it works
1:05:48
now the other thing that a competent
1:05:50
interviewer to tease out of this if they understood
1:05:53
what our to saying and knew anything about
1:05:55
his career is that you could take this
1:05:57
glaring
1:05:59
during a mission on alex was barred details
1:06:02
if i'd absolutely i'm going to exit just
1:06:04
say election fraud no matter what there wasn't any
1:06:06
evidence was a pre gone to glues if i
1:06:08
feel like me screaming what every second
1:06:10
made perfect sense it as and go any
1:06:13
reasonable interviewer would be like at sets
1:06:15
up at some point sprite and then what
1:06:17
you could do from there is
1:06:19
bring up how that's
1:06:21
all he does sniff when you have
1:06:24
the situation with his coverage of the
1:06:26
you've all the shooting he was
1:06:28
doing that he had a foregone
1:06:30
conclusion that he wanted to bring up
1:06:33
and so pieces of evidence that were bullshit
1:06:35
zip were unchecked on a
1:06:37
and confirmed in any way were
1:06:40
treated as gospel is they
1:06:42
upheld the narrative he wanted to tell
1:06:44
right same thing with the boston bombing
1:06:47
same thing with sandy hook same thing
1:06:49
with every single thing in his
1:06:51
career he comes
1:06:53
up with a conclusion and then the evidence
1:06:56
is stuff he's figured out out of
1:06:58
confirmation bias to justify the conclusion
1:07:01
he was always going to reach yup
1:07:03
and blend doesn't even take a step towards
1:07:05
that when it's right there
1:07:07
in front of i know i have a choice
1:07:09
i see on a sick he is astonishing
1:07:12
that a man it's it's it
1:07:14
is crazy because
1:07:16
because
1:07:17
one is trying to do a softball
1:07:19
interview
1:07:21

1:09:36
of alex just stop it careful enough
1:09:38
and giving his opponents easy wins
1:09:40
wins that they only me because he's
1:09:42
an anti establishment visited voice
1:09:44
that must be destroyed
1:09:46
the framing of these questions is pathetic
1:09:48
do you realize that you said
1:09:50
alex defamed grieving
1:09:53
families yeah you did not say alex
1:09:55
allegedly defamed because
1:09:57
alex is guilty of fame
1:09:59
them legal least you don't
1:10:02
even get to say he's already kind
1:10:04
of defame them or he a little defame
1:10:06
them or he made a mistake as a
1:10:09
, and as to
1:10:11
that yeah zero glenn's question
1:10:14
about sandy hook to her let's hear how great
1:10:16
an insightful this fucking questions gonna fucking
1:10:18
be like down for this gratitude color
1:10:21
so you know i met him before as i want to
1:10:23
ask you what a bit about sandy hook i know the expectation
1:10:26
is i'm supposed to come here at vassar over the head about
1:10:28
and o'hare on her i know i have no interest in during
1:10:30
i don't give a shit what the expectations are i would bore
1:10:32
me if i tried you talked about
1:10:34
it extensively are for people who are interested
1:10:37
in a you been deposed about as you talk
1:10:39
for hours about it people interested in the particulars
1:10:41
could go watch that if they want enough of a jump through hoops
1:10:43
in order like a peaceable anger that i'm here
1:10:46
i do that one ask you about a question and and actually
1:10:48
interested in myself
1:10:50
you you would have just
1:10:52
you've just said that that you
1:10:55
made mistakes obviously one of those is is set
1:10:57
of us any help we watched the film com very
1:10:59
clean about i said he made statements
1:11:01
that turned out to be untrue you've already spends
1:11:04
a lot of kind of reflexive time it's like
1:11:06
the soulful alex jones we gotta see in the last
1:11:08
part of the the film's oh
1:11:10
what is it the you saying cause
1:11:13
, to do that i mean you you referred
1:11:15
some things i you know and i just i identify
1:11:18
with that myself that when you know people who
1:11:20
lie for a living are telling
1:11:22
you that you're that liar when people who are people
1:11:24
who job it is to spread disinformation or teasing
1:11:27
you doing that kind of wanted to dig in a little bed
1:11:29
and and not given his the people
1:11:31
who you know are criticizing
1:11:33
you in good faith of what is it about
1:11:35
and of how social media works about how
1:11:38
kind of groups function as
1:11:40
he thought about some of the psychological
1:11:42
cultural dynamic says that led uday
1:11:45
to make some of those mistakes consensual or
1:11:47
sure sick of this like of thousand page
1:11:49
book so blended essentially
1:11:52
starting this question of by apologizing
1:11:54
for asking it asking thing that everyone expects
1:11:56
him to ask about sandy hook it's
1:11:58
almost like almost medical
1:11:59
the nation the glenn is having with himself
1:12:02
about how aggrieved he is about how people
1:12:04
view him for agreeing to do this documentary
1:12:07
accu an ace it's a legitimately and same
1:12:09
yeah this is nut bag or a of the highest
1:12:11
caliber yeah but then this question is trash
1:12:14
first off glenn says that if people wanna
1:12:16
know the particulars they can watch alex talk
1:12:18
about sandy hook they can watch the depositions
1:12:20
etc their full good and well
1:12:22
but i'm fairly certain that glenn hasn't done any
1:12:24
of that himself he's not interested
1:12:26
in the reality of what alex did about sandy
1:12:29
hook like he just assumes based on
1:12:31
what this shallow as documentary is presented
1:12:33
that alex got some things wrong and then he apologized
1:12:36
for it now everyone's just using these errors against
1:12:38
him because he's a dissenting voice but needed
1:12:40
to be destroyed because he supported
1:12:42
trump the foundation of this bad
1:12:45
question and to make the question worse
1:12:47
glenn builds an excuse into
1:12:49
the question as he's asking it steals
1:12:52
it's a media was so unfairly mean
1:12:54
to you that you had to defame grieving
1:12:56
parents it totally makes sense
1:12:58
that you'd say the people's dead kids weren't real
1:13:00
because the media so bad and sometimes
1:13:02
you just get too caught up in your noble fight against
1:13:05
them right oh god i
1:13:07
mean this is this
1:13:09
is fucked up thing
1:13:12
to i'm very
1:13:14
struggling i'm struggling with this
1:13:16
what you abuse i started
1:13:18
i started making all kinds of weird movements say
1:13:20
that this stuck to it ubuntu breathing
1:13:23
honestly i see have i have
1:13:26
your assess your pets
1:13:28
is why by intense extreme
1:13:30
theory sweaters going crazy
1:13:32
right mouth is mouth is good though
1:13:36
oh years alex's answer yes to
1:13:38
that question let's hear this it
1:13:40
goes about as you'd expect i don't care
1:13:42
about the sandy hook families alex please
1:13:45
continue to cause problems for them
1:13:47
in front of me right now or alex
1:13:49
is an interesting take on it that
1:13:52
i could won't surprise anybody who listens are showdown
1:13:55
you're sick of this like of thousand page
1:13:58
book and sandy hook them i live
1:14:00
the corner page and
1:14:02
and not pulling down this is the daughter of
1:14:04
us have a slight they are you one one of the what i'm gonna
1:14:06
i used to own a home overweight
1:14:09
so with just have to call me
1:14:11
call me them for socialise with like ten
1:14:13
years yells at almost all false for four
1:14:15
hours that's sort of gore's old policy
1:14:17
we all believe is this struggle a sort of
1:14:19
this saga that's the gonna take pieces
1:14:22
of that out of context
1:14:24
so here's where describe it fast for
1:14:26
just a small i do a sunday show
1:14:29
and i was sorry daughter was there
1:14:31

1:14:38

1:14:40
sandy hook and i set out here like it serves
1:14:43
just as a some real and
1:14:45
, it wasn't real or or or
1:14:47
arm that that nascar rider
1:14:49
driver baba whatever bubble wallace
1:14:51
there used to say in my things like
1:14:54
let's just know that's bs so lot of
1:14:56
as is i'm a talk show us some go
1:14:58
on journalistic and i have the witnesses
1:15:00
or have a roof and you know does
1:15:03
he small school class but i still
1:15:05
went on air
1:15:07
and i said the day after it happened as it just
1:15:09
the smallest photographs there's not do
1:15:11
that twenty three below zero running
1:15:13
around at to during the morning stopping
1:15:16
police on black people it's fast it's
1:15:18
i'm a lot of so it's you know what
1:15:20
that black people do when i started to
1:15:23
die on me like but rather
1:15:25
a perfect world that are you going on so
1:15:27
so to me to sit on my mother your mouth with
1:15:30
the internet says imply anything as told
1:15:32
him or to save lives you so much semitic
1:15:34
to take you baltics i didn't say they
1:15:36
want you all these has safely said
1:15:38
everything we've been told to why we don't
1:15:40
know what up the
1:15:42
one on lies and incompetence
1:15:45
of us seventy seven understand how the police
1:15:47
or buttons hand sanitizers arms
1:15:49
when i'm sorry long answer of
1:15:51
seawater was seawater rod what the question
1:15:54
was like guy he did say targeted
1:15:56
by you've all day it's is that no one really
1:15:58
remembers and do you gifts pretend
1:16:00
he didn't yes so even with all the softball
1:16:02
features that are built into this question and
1:16:04
with glenn doing everything he can to make
1:16:06
alec seem justified in heroic alex
1:16:09
can't handle answering this question
1:16:11
directly with are getting lost in his talking
1:16:13
points about everything is fake also
1:16:15
it might be a good idea we're
1:16:18
going to ask a follow up about how it suspicious
1:16:20
that the only two examples that alex can come
1:16:22
up with from modern history of times he's
1:16:24
called things fake and he feels confident about still
1:16:27
saying that are times when he denied an alleged
1:16:29
hate crime with small it
1:16:31
fair enough alex was right on there
1:16:33
but he was right for the wrong reasons with
1:16:36
baba wallace alex doesn't even understand
1:16:38
the basic fact that situation and i would
1:16:40
dare to say that essentially no one in that
1:16:42
audience even remembers that case totally
1:16:44
this is pretty grim stuff and if i were glenn
1:16:47
and i had already busy by the time where
1:16:49
i would realize that i'm interviewing a deceitful
1:16:51
idiot and , not even keeping
1:16:53
track of what christian youth are answering
1:16:56
know i mean i i've either either
1:16:58
glenn is like playing
1:17:01
a second cartoon in
1:17:03
his head while alex talks and insisted
1:17:05
i mean yeah i'd have to because there's no
1:17:07
if you are it legitimately listening to this
1:17:09
human beings beats if you the next words
1:17:11
you say are the ones langley green and said
1:17:13
the whole time for me or an insane person as
1:17:16
it the way that it's just like go
1:17:18
at question answer
1:17:21
ah while next question of
1:17:23
not even that not even that conception of response
1:17:25
that acknowledges the answer not
1:17:28
at glen almost not know glenn is
1:17:30
asking a question answering the question
1:17:32
answering way alec should answer it and
1:17:34
then allowing alex to say alex to of stuff
1:17:36
and then pretending that alex didn't say anything
1:17:41
the frustrating experience for me it's not
1:17:43
a pleasant , glenn
1:17:46
refocusing the quest and react and was
1:17:48
right alex another by the pentagon
1:17:50
or that we're here does
1:17:53
does america hadn't do a good job blocks from animal
1:17:55
or it won't answer was
1:17:58
, was none of it
1:17:59
what do you think lead you into
1:18:02
these kind of errors the human is it
1:18:05
going with greg question if it was just be
1:18:07
an airport five hours a day you're bored cavalier
1:18:10

1:19:23
doesn't the why don't people understand
1:19:25
that the defense is excellent and unimpeachable
1:19:28
defense is because we have
1:19:30
to fill time as it's okay
1:19:33
for us to defame parents
1:19:35

1:19:37
sometimes you get outside l am
1:19:40
parents as happy that i was out i unreal

1:19:46
alex complains about this trial
1:19:48
the olive eu or whatever
1:19:51
morgan i'm probably boycott trial
1:19:53
or something because that's not a trial
1:19:55
where does that was a guy that caught again
1:19:58
with twenty dead bodies
1:19:59
it makes months i could get up there like mr
1:20:02
jones we have their bodies and weights we
1:20:04
have a major most was i'm still insecure
1:20:06
honor a judge has never said you
1:20:08
can't see her as
1:20:10
that is in a court order
1:20:12
starting next wednesday that
1:20:14
i cannot say i'm innocent so i'm sorry
1:20:17
, myself i'm like whoa
1:20:19
this is the end of the country and
1:20:21
so whatever things i did weren't
1:20:23
on purpose and and
1:20:26
, points of one hundred questions
1:20:28
really big questions know i i mean i think you know
1:20:31
it's interesting and a i've identified this
1:20:33
and with myself and they think yeah no shit
1:20:35
you i don't know fucking
1:20:37
shit you fucking coward pretty remarkable
1:20:40
to allow alex to say these
1:20:42
kinds of things about his his case
1:20:44
and like not ask clarifying questions
1:20:46
like oh why can't you see or is it you
1:20:48
it because that's not that's relevant question
1:20:51
of the faith that we're in this case
1:20:53
he's making it seem like a it's
1:20:55
a case to determine his ill a his
1:20:57
innocence or guilt totally i'm and
1:20:59
it's not no and bullshit
1:21:02
listen listen how
1:21:05
you know the glenn greenwald knows full well
1:21:07
what he's doing yeah okay because
1:21:10
if you're going to save that out
1:21:12
loud to what is supposedly a journalist
1:21:16
they have to then ask well
1:21:19
if you are guilty before this happened
1:21:21
why
1:21:23
why are you not allowed to say you're innocent
1:21:25
tell me why explains the judge
1:21:27
has risen what you're saying is true
1:21:29
and the entire justice this earth as it
1:21:31
had modem words this is the biggest
1:21:33
news in the world that glenn greenwald
1:21:36
is the first person to discover that alex
1:21:38
jones that is free rides
1:21:40
his first amendment rights zip every
1:21:42
that isn't take it away from him in this
1:21:44
is a constitutional my you know that the person
1:21:47
he's talking to is full of shit of he
1:21:49
just move on yep affected exactly
1:21:51
is it a bit embarrassing guess that was
1:21:54
true
1:21:55
the like i mean honestly if alex
1:21:57
truly on his first try
1:21:59
the go to trial for this crime would
1:22:03
instantly this allowed from saying
1:22:05
he's innocent you and i would be
1:22:07
talking about at the other they'll be a problem we
1:22:09
would be theory as the i'm not good to at
1:22:11
least have a trial a reason we
1:22:13
didn't have a trial says if
1:22:16
i always had cooperated with the discovery process
1:22:18
and everything and it had gotten to the point where it was
1:22:20
going to trial are actually on
1:22:23
the merits nephew original question
1:22:25
totally and he was not allowed
1:22:27
to say use him as him as
1:22:29
would that would be like that necropolis that's
1:22:31
unacceptable and it never would happen
1:22:33
though i'm you know
1:22:36
identifies thou acts like he said there the
1:22:38
and into here's here's a little
1:22:40
more aware when he's broke
1:22:42
the and i've i've identified with existing
1:22:44
with myself as i think we start off as kind of
1:22:46
the south side you start off as like on access
1:22:48
t v start growing a little bit it influence
1:22:50
grown little bit in influence and suddenly you
1:22:52
you become , think
1:22:55
one of the most influential people
1:22:57
in the country with one of the largest audience is it's
1:22:59
hard i think sometimes to remind yourself i'm
1:23:01
not that guy on access tv and often
1:23:03
anymore because it was not that long ago when
1:23:05
you aren't getting so much scrutiny and and suddenly
1:23:07
you're subjected to more scrutiny that anybody
1:23:10
and i think it's hard to tie in
1:23:12
you know kind of adults with that because it's kind of a
1:23:14
slow an incremental that's why you're right right right
1:23:16
girl that's exactly what i'm a smoker because
1:23:20
of those they know but i can't finish the we go back
1:23:22
immediately go back to years five back
1:23:24
you're like
1:23:25
lander bottle a modular de jesus
1:23:28
i said that you know i'm in i'm going to be
1:23:30
honest about among a lot of people you know
1:23:32
the so it is it's yeah exactly so for
1:23:34
me as it is today you know this is a lot of work and
1:23:36
on the internet censorship here's
1:23:39
my about on alcoholism girl
1:23:41
the fuck up like up like think that
1:23:43
it's a gradual process to adjust to rising
1:23:45
levels of notoriety and the as
1:23:47
your influence rises you have a greater responsibility
1:23:50
with your messaging it's also the
1:23:52
case that you're responsible for understanding
1:23:54
that in to not understand it is
1:23:56
you neglecting your responsibility it
1:23:59
isn't any that double excuse to say that alex
1:24:01
jones and twenty thirteen or onward wasn't
1:24:03
aware of his return his responsibility
1:24:06
the wasn't some guy on public access he
1:24:09
had multiple employees and reporters
1:24:11
working under him he would brag on air
1:24:13
all the time but how many viewers he got on
1:24:15
the website if he didn't understand
1:24:17
what responsibility he had to the audience
1:24:19
about delivering information that was
1:24:21
a conscious choice but he was making to ignore
1:24:23
that responsibilities because it would make
1:24:25
his job harder and less fought for example
1:24:28
he wouldn't be able drink that bottle of vodka get
1:24:30
on air make up a bunch of shit that gets people hurt
1:24:32
em i do it again the next day you
1:24:34
would know that he was responsible to not do
1:24:36
that rights what a load of shit and
1:24:38
to hear glenda lap this up and not ask
1:24:40
any follow up questions through really disappointing
1:24:43
but honestly it makes total sense he
1:24:45
needs access to alex in order to interview
1:24:48
alex and if he doesn't do exactly
1:24:50
what he is doing any be treat out
1:24:52
with any critical focus he knows that
1:24:54
he's gonna lose that access conversely
1:24:57
i think by probably fully understands
1:24:59
that the most likely result
1:25:01
of pushing back on alex at all
1:25:03
is that this interview is going to become a fight it's
1:25:06
happened did pretty much all of alex's
1:25:08
other high profile interviews and that's
1:25:10
not what one wants this is supposed
1:25:12
to be a promotional event for this image rehabilitating
1:25:15
documentary so it would be counterproductive
1:25:18
for the end result of this q and a to be everyone
1:25:20
walking away thinking yeah maybe can't
1:25:22
really interview alex maybe there's reason
1:25:24
he doesn't get many invitations because he's an asshole
1:25:26
need to stand up and fights yes it's
1:25:28
essential to glenn and alex li
1:25:31
moyers grist for alex to be treated
1:25:33
seriously and not like a cartoon and
1:25:35
in order for that to be able to happen you
1:25:37
need to treat him with kid gloves and it's
1:25:39
pathetic i mean it's not even
1:25:43
which is a cartoon sergius acting
1:25:45
like he's not it is gas lighting
1:25:47
the highest order for you to
1:25:49
talk to what is the words
1:25:51
coming out of his mouth to respond with what
1:25:53
glenn his sayings is gaslight
1:25:55
can you imagine what kind
1:25:57
of restraint you would need to employ
1:26:00
do not ask a follow up question of alec
1:26:02
said i was drunk i drank
1:26:04
a bottle of vodka when i defamed the
1:26:06
family using a maze or do you
1:26:09
have any people die that they loved
1:26:11
on sandy hook it met so little
1:26:13
to me that i was just drunk on air it as
1:26:15
assists a to throw it away why
1:26:17
are you mad at me i made a mistake when i was drunk
1:26:20
that is argument that's what he's allowed
1:26:22
to say to go let's fucking greenwald
1:26:25
no amount of fucking propaganda
1:26:27
movies other how had great hitler
1:26:29

1:26:31
non non nope soda way
1:26:33
they've got a journalist and a great writer though the abbey
1:26:35
you know he's not good at what booking boom
1:26:37
because apparently they had trouble finding a vendor know
1:26:40
you know what happens when i got picked up the a four
1:26:42
day i was told that there was difficulty
1:26:44
for a while getting a venue here in austin
1:26:47
for to do this of assets when they found
1:26:49
out that , you are involved
1:26:52
as , you know on second thought were not really sit
1:26:54
in in your money and i
1:26:56
the i thought about of for a minute in a professional
1:26:58
tell ya this of course that's the case
1:27:01
and then i realize
1:27:03
shouldn't be so comforting
1:27:05
like normally hear that should be chilling in
1:27:07
a loving i should be wouldn't mean we're in the
1:27:09
united states why is
1:27:11
it difficult to get of then used to show a film
1:27:14
about somebody who has a
1:27:16
lot and we've been so desert heading to
1:27:18
comfortable
1:27:19
yeah i mean i think there's worked with there's a kind
1:27:21
of person that has emerged
1:27:23
that we've been trained for so long to things takes place
1:27:26
in other places that were we have a very
1:27:28
hard time recognizing that were actually
1:27:30
subsets of our love over person here
1:27:33
have you had problems with with the
1:27:35
film like this film that a god distribution
1:27:37
in and other by kind
1:27:40
of publicity for that you didn't have with the first film
1:27:42
have you noticed greater difficulty was difficulty was
1:27:44
shit loads by wasn't a question
1:27:46
for our toes for moyer he of i'm
1:27:48
but like okay
1:27:51
who cares like a burger
1:27:53
base which trying to say cancel culture without saying
1:27:55
care for hockey and as a tireless
1:27:58
advocate for free speech as
1:28:00
someone who demands that everyone
1:28:02
be given the choice is to do what they
1:28:04
desire when of then you
1:28:07
refuse his moneys based
1:28:09
on some sort of political opinion
1:28:11
how dare they slow dare
1:28:13
they stand up for that not
1:28:15
a first amendment rights they have done and
1:28:18
i mean giving whatever i want
1:28:20
does he think that like if you paid
1:28:22
for it of eaters would be forced to let you scream
1:28:24
song of the salford the triumph of
1:28:26
the will close why
1:28:29
well because they didn't let him do a scan
1:28:31
for call time away me baby is what he said
1:28:34
also isn't free association like one of the main
1:28:36
pillars of alex's ideology this
1:28:38
question and alex's reaction to
1:28:40
it in essence reveal that alex's libertarian
1:28:43
leanings at those bedrock ideas
1:28:45
or says lip service he
1:28:47
fully supports the right of a business to not
1:28:49
serve someone because they're black or because
1:28:51
they're gay we have you'll cry bloody murder
1:28:53
of a beater doesn't want to air is stupid documentary
1:28:56
also again this question is
1:28:58
basically just being alex or
1:29:00
alex up to complain about however
1:29:02
once been so mean to them because they were brave
1:29:04
enough to make this film as that jordan
1:29:07
is good journalism having to tell you this right
1:29:09
now i'm going to tell you this right now people
1:29:12
have not been anywhere near mean enough
1:29:14
to that yeah i'm doing my best
1:29:16
and i'm not being miata ryan i'm
1:29:19
worth fighting so hard to
1:29:21
be mean to these people and it's nato know what
1:29:23
mimi's man it's not mean
1:29:25
this born out of bad faith
1:29:27
or or ill will or
1:29:30
some kind of a hostility towards them with
1:29:32
it's righteous fury well it's a seats
1:29:34
at this is just it's a reaction
1:29:36
to the thing that they made or didn't exactly
1:29:39
and then on the merits they should
1:29:41
be treated way harsher based
1:29:43
on how bad the those if they're doing disgusting
1:29:46
so anyway moyer comes in to
1:29:48
answer this question about finding of
1:29:50
and you have you had problems
1:29:52
with with the film like this film getting
1:29:55
distribution and and other by
1:29:58
kind of publicity for that you didn't have with first
1:30:00
film have you noticed greater difficulty was
1:30:02
a bear shit loads of class
1:30:05
a but also we
1:30:07
read as he leaves after what
1:30:10
happened with our last film and we
1:30:12
took matters in one thousand things
1:30:15
, play nice hey i'm
1:30:18
i'm we see now we
1:30:21
started basically talking
1:30:23
to people outside of hollywood and
1:30:26
i'm , only now
1:30:28
the free agent an athlete nice but
1:30:30
have you are you on this easy for sure and
1:30:33
there are people that are interested in seeing authentic
1:30:35
content on you know
1:30:37
and one n b c and millions can
1:30:39
vouch for that hill
1:30:41
so play nice is the company that
1:30:43
distributed the film and it's run by that
1:30:45
guy who used to be in charge of sin a family
1:30:47
until he got forced out because of ramp it's
1:30:49
sexual harassment complaints against him and then
1:30:51
the theater run out of business incidentally
1:30:54
play nice was hounded partially usa investment
1:30:56
from peter teal i'm sure
1:30:58
that's a totally benign thing and not at all
1:31:00
suspicious you know it's crazy alex his next
1:31:02
film is about how he's not guilty
1:31:04
of any of those sexual assaults that he committed
1:31:07
to know why he was drunk stands
1:31:10
also i'm not sure how much stock i put into
1:31:12
amanda billie as vouching for moyers
1:31:14
free agency considering that million produced
1:31:17
and directed the plot against the president
1:31:19
the trump propaganda films that to
1:31:21
of the producers of that film or producers of alex's
1:31:24
of war and beholden it was smart
1:31:26
of millions to shorten the title of
1:31:28
that movie from the title of a book
1:31:30
that it's based on which is quote the plot
1:31:32
against the president be true story of how congressmen
1:31:35
devin nunes has uncovered the biggest political
1:31:37
scandal of us history step
1:31:40
title probably wouldn't have aged quite as well as
1:31:42
shortened version could have been it could
1:31:44
really hurt that really hurt later on
1:31:47
the , the the plot against for president
1:31:49
the true story of how congress mcdevitt nunez
1:31:51
tried to sue a twitter account the
1:31:53
capital has fallen and that's and good thing of
1:31:56
note with we hadn't of el bulli so
1:31:58
years i what is i sense leave the last
1:32:00
question of of
1:32:03
this interview or you mean immersing to be
1:32:05
somebody from the very beginning
1:32:07
you know were saying
1:32:09
, that in your community in in in your politics
1:32:12
and and in the media were there love
1:32:14
that were going eg cause you to be passed
1:32:16
side as a crazy person or is
1:32:18
it the spear sit there is going back to that a nice
1:32:20
with waco and and and and
1:32:23
the up the i know sorts of things that
1:32:25
happened why that happened you end up on this path
1:32:27
size cause you to is constantly
1:32:30
be so skeptical of what you're told by us
1:32:32
authorities
1:32:33
you know my a model were william
1:32:35
bars am and was well
1:32:38
as well as helicopter pilot vietnam and then
1:32:40
he worked in iran contra and
1:32:42
, wouldn't tell me all the cigarettes not but he
1:32:45
he said rob was like a teenager teenager
1:32:47
was like i like rush limbaugh it it goes the rump logos are
1:32:49
controlled democrats controlled and
1:32:51
it's all it was down there visiting for two weeks is antonio
1:32:54
he just he just let me take you back on the back porch
1:32:57
unless i'm you know your sandwich talking about us
1:32:59
at least he told me about a lot of stuff and
1:33:01
saw in vietnam and how
1:33:04
he did these things he was told to do and
1:33:06
then he got worse and worse and worse
1:33:08
the moment he said no and it was narcotics
1:33:10
trafficking in vietnam and then it was everything
1:33:13
you know the iran contra it
1:33:15
may met a point where they
1:33:17
were they were kids out of orphanages
1:33:20
you know where they were going and he said at that point he
1:33:22
was so he told me about all that
1:33:24
and then i had other family i
1:33:27
had there were involved the black operations back
1:33:29
when it was all human intelligence and like the rush
1:33:31
attraction here and there actually and wars so
1:33:34
my dad's cousin was involved in a bunch
1:33:36
of stuff it's i grew up kind of like central
1:33:38
dinner table i hear people talking about this stuff
1:33:41
and so i kinda knew what was going on
1:33:44
what other people didn't i was growing up around
1:33:46
a and so i kind of heard that
1:33:48
the my dad was heavily involved in
1:33:50
of geopolitics and research and always books
1:33:52
real mouse is my kind of grew up around
1:33:54
that and these what pro america
1:33:57
people to they were sam governments bad comedy
1:33:59
lot of as
1:33:59
the
1:34:01
there's a bad group taken over yet have
1:34:03
they want someone me this was the of us a bumper
1:34:05
sticker of you want your children to listen whisper they
1:34:08
weren't telling me the stuff it's gonna
1:34:10
be hard around the corner squiggly says that we're
1:34:12
talking about and so that
1:34:14
that's why had a leg up on it all was
1:34:16
because of of up much about how much stuff
1:34:19
well i wonder if glenwood ask
1:34:21
a follow up if alex was clear about
1:34:23
what he's talking about and it's all the john
1:34:25
birch society shit yeah like i
1:34:27
wonder if glenwood debase himself
1:34:29
enough to be like yeah the gps they were onto something
1:34:31
right yeah mayonnaise atlanta and
1:34:33
i that one i get all of my greatest wisdom
1:34:36
from bumper stickers into a
1:34:38
my parents didn't tell me a lot about the john
1:34:40
birch society they just told me that a black
1:34:42
people were part of a communist plot to take over
1:34:45
america and that we need to fight against the russians
1:34:47
as well as civil rights with everything we never got
1:34:49
they didn't tell me that they just yelled about it to their friends
1:34:51
all the time and had to root a house
1:34:53
a full of books about the topic yeah
1:34:56
picture book because the only things i could read
1:34:58
exactly yeah yeah also
1:35:00
this question line of after his
1:35:02
frame dot a lie like
1:35:04
easily attending
1:35:07
that what alex did was bold like his
1:35:09
shit was an unpopular in the community he was
1:35:11
in and the politics that he had a
1:35:13
conspiracy theory eighty government militia
1:35:16
anti communist world everything
1:35:18
alex hussein was popular and
1:35:20
basically be standard doctrine it
1:35:22
was hindering yes glenn's acting
1:35:24
like alex at a job at cnn
1:35:26
hosting a nightly show with any did what he did
1:35:29
like he took a brave stand it wasn't
1:35:31
brave to be a conspiracy theorist in
1:35:33
a community of conspiracy theorists
1:35:36
maybe it would be if you are expected to not be
1:35:38
unsafe but i was never the expectation
1:35:40
for alex he was an insane world
1:35:43
the person they're really talking about here is
1:35:45
david is that guy sachsen
1:35:47
is wrong about everything but what he did
1:35:49
took a lotta nerve he was already
1:35:52
a big mainstream celebrity any essentially
1:35:54
through that all the way to go down a crazy
1:35:56
conspiracy path alex was
1:35:58
born on that path and follow the long doing
1:36:00
the things that got him positive reinforcement
1:36:03
intel weird or here until
1:36:05
he wound up saying the david i was right
1:36:07
all along right the turret and a bunch of old
1:36:09
heard of the punch bowl is a delicious
1:36:11
turret but like doubt that they're
1:36:13
pretending that alex did that like
1:36:16
david i went on t v and said that like
1:36:18
use jesus just
1:36:20
so mad i'm tired of people
1:36:22
being allowed to gaslight me yeah
1:36:25
this bad it's pretty robust be
1:36:27
like hey man i think that mcdonalds
1:36:29
nuggets are good i'm buying your gas
1:36:32
lighting me but that's fine you know a little
1:36:34
nuggets are friday i'm sick of fast food
1:36:36
with are fine he yes exactly
1:36:38
so a greenwald exactly
1:36:41
starts talking about like what life would be would you'd
1:36:43
made a different choice sure and bike down for this
1:36:45
because yeah there's there's yeah slip
1:36:47
of the tongue slip want i make sure you catch
1:36:50
the i will die before i came here was thinking about
1:36:52
what where i would be instead of here if
1:36:54
i had made different choices to pursue
1:36:57
the kind of mainstream accountability i have the
1:36:59
ability that i was interested in in
1:37:01
wonder why you have rejected that's
1:37:04
been in for their for two paths
1:37:07
there were accountability unacceptability
1:37:09
that is that really good point accountability
1:37:11
is really what he is rejecting like
1:37:13
you want to pretend bigger a rebel shunning
1:37:15
acceptability birth acceptability farce just
1:37:18
want to be held accountable for the things you do and
1:37:20
alex is basically the avatar that see
1:37:22
i have lost so much accessibility
1:37:24
with my one point eight million followers
1:37:26
know what i have these accountability
1:37:29
with my ability to harass people
1:37:31
with less of an audience that audience do and receive
1:37:33
no consequences for yeah whoops
1:37:36
oh no fun slip of the tongue
1:37:38
yes so the a year ago this is the last
1:37:40
have club we have this is to sort of a wrap
1:37:42
up and skill after
1:37:45
this there's not really anything just one saying
1:37:47
goodbye to the audio
1:37:49
the i will die before i came here was thinking about
1:37:51
what where i would be instead of here if
1:37:53
i had made different choices to pursue
1:37:55
the kind of mainstream accountability i have the
1:37:57
ability that i was interested in in
1:37:59
one why you had rejected and
1:38:01
i was thinking i'd probably be and make the
1:38:03
cnn building with wolf blitzer and
1:38:06
chris hayes and my family home which are
1:38:08
and nancy pelosi wanting to kill
1:38:10
myself out of boredom in disguise then
1:38:12
i refer to this crowd as they have kind of crowd of
1:38:15
misfits an outcast in and
1:38:17
it isn't and i'm so happy that
1:38:19
, much happier to be around people
1:38:22
like this to place themselves
1:38:24
on the outside and and decide that
1:38:26
they're not going to pay that price of kind
1:38:28
of dominoes i'm embracing things they don't
1:38:30
believe for whatever awards they
1:38:33
offer and you been doing this for decades and taking
1:38:35
are kind of slings and arrows and if
1:38:37
you yourself recognize the middle on mistakes
1:38:40
mistakes i'm really glad he been doing what you're doing when
1:38:43
i appreciate you telling i appreciate our whole thing
1:38:45
and phone absolutely just
1:38:47
absolutely close on that
1:38:51
like got years has some
1:38:53
cards out of thinking you
1:38:55
no not like you mean
1:38:57
the movie and
1:38:58
i never really thing
1:39:00
if we as a beer tonight but but for the differences
1:39:02
i didn't make mistakes on purpose all
1:39:04
my all your better we also some habits
1:39:07
with a larger issue as we
1:39:10
have have of was
1:39:12
that i would you can ask you did you
1:39:14
make mistakes some her peers are it is easier than
1:39:16
a lot about
1:39:20
that how to iraq
1:39:22
the it's funny the crowd larry the
1:39:24
crowd laughs and claps at glen
1:39:26
finally acknowledging that alex keep saying
1:39:28
that either that he doesn't lie on purpose
1:39:31
it's cathartic it's attention breaker because
1:39:33
the joke is that they all know that alex absolutely
1:39:36
lies on purpose and has been for the past
1:39:38
forty minutes or whatever he's been on stage
1:39:41
that's the price of admission you
1:39:43
want the attention and outsider credibility
1:39:45
the you can gain from associating with alex the
1:39:48
new better stick the case a been present alex
1:39:50
how he wants to be seen glenn
1:39:52
understands that which is why didn't acknowledge
1:39:54
the constant insistence is that alex
1:39:56
doesn't lie on purpose to do
1:39:58
so would be to call that very notion
1:40:01
and call it into question where is it needs
1:40:03
just to be taken as a given if who is
1:40:05
is a fundamental fact death
1:40:07
the audience laughs because they're in on the
1:40:09
joke they know that alex lies
1:40:11
on purpose but their ability to use
1:40:13
him as an avatar of their hatred of the mainstream
1:40:15
press and the establishment it
1:40:17
requires that they maintain the same case save
1:40:20
that at glen is bound by there's
1:40:22
nothing challenging or brave about this contact
1:40:24
and the congratulations these idiots give themselves
1:40:27
are engaging are engaging is hollow in meaningless
1:40:30
would actually be challenging hearing
1:40:32
alex in an uncomfortable position where he has
1:40:34
to wrestle with the idea that his of asians
1:40:37
and lies and self contradictions aren't
1:40:39
gonna fly and see how he reacts
1:40:41
there's nothing challenging about filming a liar
1:40:43
lie and then interviewing about it is
1:40:45
lies as if they're truth but
1:40:48
you don't act like this because you know
1:40:50
alex doesn't actually need you he
1:40:52
wants the press of the movie but he's fine
1:40:54
without you
1:40:55
you need him
1:40:56
in if you don't make yourself a good
1:40:58
little soldier and alex's imaginary
1:41:01
war he's not gonna play ball
1:41:03
and you don't get though
1:41:05
fuck you i mean it here's the a
1:41:07
you know we were we are last episode
1:41:10
which we recorded so long ago i
1:41:13
about stand up comedy reminds
1:41:15
me of something important for
1:41:17
this of when i was coming up there
1:41:21
was one joke that i that i towards it really
1:41:23
worked well ah and then
1:41:25
as i kept telling it i realized
1:41:27
that i didn't know i didn't understand why
1:41:30
it works i didn't understand what the
1:41:32
people were laughing at i didn't know
1:41:34
what i was really saying that made
1:41:36
them really set tension which is with a laughter
1:41:39
weary really yeah and it was a fucked
1:41:41
up thing to say i thought i was being
1:41:43
very satirical smart and doing all
1:41:45
this but the reason that they were laughing is
1:41:48
because they were thinking i was saying it literally
1:41:50
that that can happen you know and then i stopped
1:41:53
doing the job because if you understand why people
1:41:55
are laughing said you understand what it is you're
1:41:57
actually saying and what it is they are understanding
1:42:00
the fact that last big teams
1:42:02
because that a on acknowledgements
1:42:04
had been in the air the entire fucking show
1:42:06
yes and it came and it came as
1:42:08
a laugh because when he released the tensions
1:42:10
what's the tension release was was
1:42:13
it's fine it's
1:42:15
fine it's fine to imagine
1:42:17
that it doesn't matter that alex was
1:42:19
intentionally there's
1:42:21
that's what the joke is that joke is we
1:42:23
don't have to buy end of the joke
1:42:26
is imagining glam
1:42:28
ever even asking that question to
1:42:30
begin with one hundred to this to this yeah
1:42:32
it's ridiculous yes everyone
1:42:33
you've participated in a farce and
1:42:35
then glenn greenwald gets the possible
1:42:37
luna be any because it's over and everybody gets
1:42:39
to go on and will nine to date or part of
1:42:42
this parts of the fuck at first but honestly he
1:42:44
has to pop the balloons your because
1:42:46
the audience laughed when alex that it the last
1:42:48
oh yeah that's true he has to address the fact
1:42:50
that they last for yeah so just break
1:42:52
the time to live through whatever showerhead make
1:42:55
the very idea of asking that question
1:42:57
the joke itself a ,
1:42:59
yeah it's it's it's nonsense it's awareness
1:43:02
and models also it's fucking bullshit
1:43:04
the op ed is pathetic and that is
1:43:06
a sad sad sad sad
1:43:08
sad man the up i mean if you're
1:43:10
suck in the boot of alex jones and really
1:43:12
trying to get the whole thing in your mouth as
1:43:14
much as at boot as you can if you're
1:43:17
not doing good that paycheck better a bit
1:43:19
he better be big and wolf's
1:43:21
moon l a i can't believe
1:43:24
that so i think this is one of
1:43:26
the eminent was way worse then i think
1:43:28
i expected it to be why ,
1:43:30
i really am blindsided truly
1:43:32
and honestly i've your expectations are low vice
1:43:35
city so what i mean i'm
1:43:37
fine with glenn asking a
1:43:39
same we long questions because that's just
1:43:41
how them that or on tuxedo yeah
1:43:44
this is bad the
1:43:46
bad yeah i mean thurs it's
1:43:48
almost i pick
1:43:51
those questions could have been asked by a brew
1:43:54
yeah i know about more concisely and
1:43:56
better they work fought for their
1:43:58
work follow ups anyway
1:44:02
the i find i find
1:44:04
all of this ah just so
1:44:07
annoying distasteful so i'm a this
1:44:09
brings us to the end of our arc
1:44:11
i guess with alex's war sir and
1:44:14
that documentary is
1:44:17
bad yeah it's dangerous
1:44:19
because it lends itself
1:44:21
towards them mainstreaming
1:44:24
alex a or foist
1:44:27
alex upon an unsuspecting population
1:44:30
who is if you if you if you go into
1:44:32
their documentary without an awareness of who
1:44:34
he is which many people probably
1:44:36
well does like i've heard this name chances
1:44:38
of see this documentary about him or something
1:44:41
for they know and it's just the gay frogs guy
1:44:43
right yup you could stand to
1:44:46
very serious we are
1:44:49
in danger somebody by making
1:44:51
them more likely to buy
1:44:53
into his shit well what you're saying
1:44:55
to the people who know him or don't know
1:44:57
who known as known as for our guy or don't know him at
1:45:00
all is yes look
1:45:02
at this man he's the gay for our guys
1:45:04
but he's more than that he's a human
1:45:06
who makes mistakes and he's a man with principled
1:45:09
political stances and it's fucking
1:45:11
bullshit it's all allies it's all
1:45:13
bullshit and she sucks i
1:45:16
think humanizing alex is totally fine
1:45:18
and i i do think that one or two dimensional
1:45:21
characters of him are counterproductive
1:45:23
i your hundred percent agree with that
1:45:25
i just don't think that that's what this is no
1:45:28
i think that this is a an attempt to humanize
1:45:30
the version of alex that he wants people
1:45:32
to see a and that is not
1:45:34
what a documentary is you're
1:45:37
not showing the accurate picture you're showing
1:45:39
the the mask that alex
1:45:41
where's and not really giving any
1:45:43
indication that it's a mask you're not
1:45:46
giving like it's just your
1:45:49
pocket over your audience if you do the yeah yeah
1:45:51
of glenn is to and it's
1:45:54
whatever i don't know yet you're getting a
1:45:56
up every right to do it but like the
1:45:58
any kind of three into
1:46:00
of like this is somehow a challenging
1:46:03
piece of work that were doing no
1:46:06
we blow it's not you're playing the reporter
1:46:08
and pretending it's a tuba yes
1:46:10
or whatever known arab you've you've
1:46:12
created a golem of
1:46:14
alex jones in order
1:46:17
to allow the real alex jones to
1:46:19
avoid consequences for his behavior that's
1:46:22
what it is yep am what
1:46:24
of not forget why you sincerely
1:46:30
this do in a
1:46:31
this premier of this documentary
1:46:35
was that to happen just before
1:46:37
the trial was to begin glenn
1:46:40
, came to austen
1:46:43
to engage in a promotional
1:46:45
event with alex doing
1:46:47
these softball bullshit questions
1:46:50
after of this puff piece as shallow
1:46:52
documentary in
1:46:54
the context of the same
1:46:57
city right around the same time
1:46:59
that alex is trying to avoid
1:47:02
responsibility for his actions
1:47:04
v xavi sandy hook xavi
1:47:07
hi i'm is essentially
1:47:10
a media outlet cheerleader
1:47:12

yep willingly unwittingly
1:47:17
wittingly who knows doesn't
1:47:19
matter if you lie on purpose or not yeah
1:47:23
i guess is really what it comes out what it comes
1:47:25
down to glenn is saying to alex
1:47:27
it's a good thing that you keep saying you don't lie
1:47:29
on purpose so i don't have to say i don't lie on purpose
