  1. 0:04We're gonna talk about the media,
  2. 0:06specifically, one increasingly influential member of it,
  3. 0:08Alex Jones,
  4. 0:10the Walter Cronkite of shrieking batshit gorilla clowns.
  5. 0:13(CROWD LAUGHING)
  6. 0:14And I know you may be thinking,
  7. 0:15there is nothing more I need to know about Alex Jones.
  8. 0:18Because you've probably seen crazy clips like this.
  9. 0:21ALEX JONES: What do you think tap water is?
  10. 0:22It's a gay bomb, baby.
  11. 0:24And I'm not saying people didn't naturally
  12. 0:26have homosexual feelings. I'm not even getting into it.
  13. 0:29You think I-- (GUFFAWS) I'm like shocked by it,
  14. 0:31so I'm up here bashing it because I don't like gay people?
  15. 0:34(YELLS) I don't like 'em putting chemicals in the water
  16. 0:36that turn the friggin' frogs gay!
  17. 0:39Do you understand that?
  18. 0:41(GRUNTS) Crap!
  19. 0:43Wow. If he is that upset about a government conspiracy
  20. 0:47that is not happening, just imagine how upset
  21. 0:49he's gonna be when he finds out about one that is actually is.
  22. 0:52Like the fact that the government
  23. 0:53is turning raccoons bi-lingual.
  24. 0:55Oh, that's right, they're all fluent in French now
  25. 0:57and they will be working that into conversation.
  26. 1:00And that famous clip is by no means and outlier.
  27. 1:04Jones is a charismatic performer who gets charged up
  28. 1:07on a regular basis, so there are plenty
  29. 1:09of lesser known outbursts like this...
  30. 1:11My spirit is close than evil and I feel it
  31. 1:13and my whole spirit just goes... (SCREAMS)
  32. 1:18They call that crazy, that's not crazy,
  33. 1:20that's my will, my human spirit saying,
  34. 1:22"Crush those that would hurt the innocent!
  35. 1:24Go after the enemy, build a civilization,
  36. 1:27be honorable!
  37. 1:28Crush the snakes under your feet!"
  38. 1:30Well, at least now we know what Friday Night Lights
  39. 1:33would've looked like if they'd given Coach Taylor
  40. 1:35-a nasty PCP habit. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
  41. 1:37Go after the enemy!
  42. 1:38Crush the snakes under your feet! (SNIFFS)
  43. 1:40Clear ice, full house. I've got the snakes everywhere!
  44. 1:43Stop those snakes, motherfuckers. (SCREAMS)
  45. 1:47(CROWD CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
  46. 1:50Now look, ideally, ideally, the first thing you should know
  47. 1:55about The Alex Jones Show, is nothing.
  48. 1:58But, unfortunately, it is an important part
  49. 2:01of a lot of people's media diets.
  50. 2:02An estimated six million people listen to his radio show
  51. 2:06or watch it online every week,
  52. 2:07and we know at least one Jones fan seems to be
  53. 2:10current Russian Ambassador to the United States,
  54. 2:13-Donald Trump. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
  55. 2:14He-- he supposedly called Jones after the election,
  56. 2:18has tweeted content from Infowars and one of its editors
  57. 2:21and just a year and a half ago, even appeared on his show.
  58. 2:24TRUMP: I just wanna finish by saying,
  59. 2:26your reputation's amazing. I will not let you down.
  60. 2:29You will be very, very impressed, I hope
  61. 2:32and I think we'll be speaking a lot.
  62. 2:34The only thing that could've made that moment any grosser
  63. 2:37is if Nigel Farage, Bill Cosby and Phil Spector
  64. 2:39-were all on the same call. -(CROWD GROANING)
  65. 2:41So look, it is no wonder that Jones has been getting
  66. 2:44a lot of coverage, recently.
  67. 2:46We even mentioned him on our first show of the season,
  68. 2:48back in February and in his response to it,
  69. 2:51he seemed a little annoyed with me.
  70. 2:53Your ratings are in the toilet, you're a joke,
  71. 2:55they brought you back, revamped...
  72. 2:58out of the gate, to attack yours truly.
  73. 3:01After you lectured us that Donald Trump
  74. 3:03could never win, over and over again,
  75. 3:04as you know, you're the intellectual,
  76. 3:06everybody knows a British accent is intellectual.
  77. 3:08(CROWD LAUGHING)
  78. 3:09You know, there's no facts behind it.
  79. 3:10And now, you make fun of me out of context,
  80. 3:12and I'll go, "Look at this loon!"
  81. 3:14Hey boy, people want legitimacy, they want real.
  82. 3:19They want to hear somebody that can speak to 'em
  83. 3:21and touch 'em inside.
  84. 3:23-(CROWD GROANING) -Okay, okay, I--
  85. 3:25A few things there. One, don't call me boy.
  86. 3:28And two, my British accent does not sound intellectual.
  87. 3:32Believe me, I sound like a chimney sweep
  88. 3:34passing through a wood chipper.
  89. 3:36But-- but I will give him this, Jones is right,
  90. 3:39that too often, people don't present him in his full context.
  91. 3:42So tonight, we are going to do that,
  92. 3:45and let's first set aside the key context,
  93. 3:47that Alex Jones has repeatedly used his show
  94. 3:49to fuel speculation that the Sandy Hook Massacre
  95. 3:51was staged by the government, which has been deeply hurtful
  96. 3:54for the parents of those children over the years.
  97. 3:56That is disgusting and should be disqualifying
  98. 3:59in terms of ever taking him seriously.
  99. 4:02Sadly, doing things that disqualify you
  100. 4:04from being taken seriously,
  101. 4:05doesn't really seem to be much of a thing anymore.
  102. 4:08But-- but there is a piece of context,
  103. 4:11you may be less aware of
  104. 4:12and that concerns the nature of Jones' show itself.
  105. 4:15It is four hours long,
  106. 4:17and if you tune into the whole thing,
  107. 4:19your most shocking discovery might be how frequently
  108. 4:21and shamelessly he pitches products that he sells.
  109. 4:24In fact, remember that clip from him earlier,
  110. 4:26yelling about snakes?
  111. 4:28Let's just go back to that and play it out a bit.
  112. 4:30Be honorable! Crush the snakes under your feet!
  113. 4:35(SIGHS) Get behind me, Satan!
  114. 4:37(PANTING) Now before I go any further...
  115. 4:41before I go any further...
  116. 4:43we gotta fund this operation,
  117. 4:44we got the very best nutraceuticals out there.
  118. 4:46I don't know if I can run this for another week or so,
  119. 4:48we wanna run this through the end of the month,
  120. 4:49that's like 11 days.
  121. 4:51'Cause I don't want it to sell out before more gets in
  122. 4:54Twenty percent off infowarslive.com,
  123. 4:56-infowarslive.com. -(CROWD GROANING)
  124. 4:57infowarslive.com!
  125. 4:59Woah! That is a hard turn to have to make.
  126. 5:03(YELLS) The Satan-worshiping deep state globalists
  127. 5:05are gonna murder you and your entire family!
  128. 5:07Open your eyes, sheeple, they are coming for you,
  129. 5:09they're coming for all of us!
  130. 5:11(CLEARS THROAT)
  131. 5:12But first...
  132. 5:14-McGillicuddy's Oatmeal. -(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
  133. 5:17The perfect way to start your day.
  134. 5:21And look, that clip is not an anomaly.
  135. 5:24In one week of recent broadcast on his sight,
  136. 5:26we found he spent nearly a quarter of the time,
  137. 5:29either talking about or playing ads for his products,
  138. 5:32or pointing you to the Infowars store.
  139. 5:34And if you have never gone shopping on Infowars, you are in
  140. 5:37for whatever the exact opposite of a treat is.
  141. 5:40Because there's the kind of survival gear
  142. 5:43that you would expect alongside more surprising items
  143. 5:45like organic shampoo, body wash and deodorant
  144. 5:49as well as products like Combat One Tactical Bath Wipes
  145. 5:52a ten-dollar pack of moist towelettes
  146. 5:54that can be used anywhere needed,
  147. 5:56including the perineal area.
  148. 5:59Which, if you're wondering, is this region, right here.
  149. 6:02-(CROWD GROANING) -That's right, Alex Jones
  150. 6:04is trying to sell you sloppy wet rags for your tait.
  151. 6:07And-- and when you are done wiping down
  152. 6:10the area between your genitals and anus
  153. 6:12with a glorified wet nap...
  154. 6:14why not pick up a Bill Clinton Rape Whistle?
  155. 6:16Which, according to Infowars, should be used
  156. 6:20to let Bill know you're in the crowd
  157. 6:22and that you know the truth.
  158. 6:24That truth, by the way...
  159. 6:28You just spent six dollars on a whistle.
  160. 6:30Oh, that's right we bought this and by the way our order came
  161. 6:34with a free "9-11 was an inside job"
  162. 6:37-bumper sticker... -(CROWD GROANING)
  163. 6:38...that we most assuredly did not ask for. And look...
  164. 6:42radio hosts doing ads is not inherently unusual,
  165. 6:45but since 2013, Jones has increasingly focused
  166. 6:48on promoting his own products, which he sells on his site
  167. 6:52under his Infowars Life brand,
  168. 6:54particularly, vitamins and nutraceuticals,
  169. 6:57which I believe are the result of the word, "nutrition"
  170. 7:00fucking the word "pharmaceutical" from behind.
  171. 7:02(BED CREAKING)
  172. 7:03I'm pretty sure that's what it is,
  173. 7:05but this-- this is a big part of Jones' business.
  174. 7:09Two thirds of his funding reportedly comes
  175. 7:12from selling his products and they are a lot of them.
  176. 7:16And the reason I know that is we bought a whole bunch.
  177. 7:20Now, let me break them down for you.
  178. 7:22There is a Super Male Vitality, a Super Female Vitality,
  179. 7:26"Wake Up America Patriot Blend" coffee, Lung Cleanse,
  180. 7:30Brain Force Plus, something called DNA Force
  181. 7:33that cost 120 dollars a bottle,
  182. 7:35and Child Ease, a herbal blend, which, according to Infowars,
  183. 7:39is "designed to sooth the mind and bodies of children"
  184. 7:43which is a profoundly, creepy phase.
  185. 7:46And then, there is Caveman True Paleo Formula with bone broth,
  186. 7:51a chocolate flavored drink mix, made from bee pollen, stevia
  187. 7:55and the dust of chicken skeletons.
  188. 7:58Now, according to Infowars, it is one of the most popular
  189. 8:02new health trend in the world today.
  190. 8:05And by the look on Jones' face, it tastes
  191. 8:07exactly as good as it sounds.
  192. 8:09You pour that in on a couple of ice cubes.
  193. 8:11And folks, it tastes...
  194. 8:12when it's creamy and thick, I think, better than Ovaltine.
  195. 8:16And it has got all the bone broth and so much more.
  196. 8:20This is why, the ancients, they believe were--
  197. 8:22had such better bones,
  198. 8:23were so much healthier, you can look it up.
  199. 8:24This-- you could freeze this and this will be better
  200. 8:27than, like, bluebell chocolate ice cream.
  201. 8:29Mm!
  202. 8:31(CROWD LAUGHING)
  203. 8:34(LAUGHING) Okay! Okay, I know for a fact
  204. 8:37that Alex Jones did not enjoy drinking that glass of Caveman.
  205. 8:41Because, I have got a glass of Caveman, right here.
  206. 8:45And I can confirm to you that it tastes...
  207. 8:48(COUGHING)
  208. 8:50It taste exactly how you imagine a drink would taste
  209. 8:53that's made from chocolate and domesticated bird corpses.
  210. 8:56It-- it comes at you in waves.
  211. 8:59And that is not the only time that Jones has used himself
  212. 9:03as a guinea pig to sell his own products.
  213. 9:05And a warning, now, to our younger viewers,
  214. 9:07the following footage of a man graphically too comfortable
  215. 9:09with his own body, may be disturbing.
  216. 9:12Just ten minutes before we taped this,
  217. 9:14I decided to do this 'cause I haven't done this
  218. 9:15in a while. We took photos... a year ago,
  219. 9:18And then again about six months ago
  220. 9:19and the weight loss is dramatic,
  221. 9:21already from what happened before.
  222. 9:23(CROWD LAUGHING)
  223. 9:25Okay, so you're redder... and you're wearing a belt.
  224. 9:30The only thing I can discern happened
  225. 9:32between those two photos
  226. 9:33is that you walked shirtless in the sun for two hours
  227. 9:35to a belt store.
  228. 9:37You-- you could flip those two photos around
  229. 9:40and the effect would be exactly the same. Also...
  230. 9:46And look, to be fair to Jones, he does have a medical expert,
  231. 9:50who consults on many of his supplements,
  232. 9:52Doctor Edward Group III, who looks like the lead
  233. 9:55in a Director DVD Kato Kaelin biopic.
  234. 9:58But he's actually even less impressive than that.
  235. 10:02Here he is in an Infowars ad
  236. 10:03explaining the importance of one of the products.
  237. 10:06GROUP: If you're suffering from abdominal pain,
  238. 10:09allergies, even like headaches, anemia,
  239. 10:11weakened immune system, gut problems, depression,
  240. 10:15hair loss, uh... excess gas,
  241. 10:18muscle pain, nervousness, I mean, all of these things,
  242. 10:21if you look at some of these conditions
  243. 10:24and then us opening up our borders
  244. 10:26and all the other countries opening up our-- their borders,
  245. 10:29you're just dealing with a mass amount of parasites
  246. 10:33or are harmful organisms.
  247. 10:34You can type in "refugees spreading disease"
  248. 10:37I mean, the CDC is going crazy right now.
  249. 10:39Actually, I'm pretty sure that if you type,
  250. 10:41"refugee spreading disease" into Google and press enter,
  251. 10:44it just takes you right to the Wikipedia page
  252. 10:46for xenophobia, which, at the end of the day,
  253. 10:49is a real time saver for you. But despite the fact
  254. 10:52that Doctor Group looks like what would happen
  255. 10:53if Tom Petty was machine washed instead of dry cleaned...
  256. 10:56(CROWD LAUGHING)
  257. 10:57... Alex Jones swears by him.
  258. 10:59In fact, he's been pretty defensive
  259. 11:01about Doctor Group's credentials.
  260. 11:03It doesn't matter you've got degrees from MIT
  261. 11:04and everywhere else and a bunch of other degrees,
  262. 11:06the media makes fun of you and says that you're an idiot.
  263. 11:09-(SIGHS) That's right. -I mean literally they say
  264. 11:11we cannot sell coffee, it's a fraud.
  265. 11:13That's right, that's right.
  266. 11:14I-- I've been a research scientist
  267. 11:16for a long time, I do have--
  268. 11:17I am MIT alumni and I can tell you
  269. 11:20that I do research all the time--
  270. 11:22Okay, stop.
  271. 11:24A-- Look, let's break down that "bunch of degrees"
  272. 11:27Jones mentioned.
  273. 11:28Group does have a Doctor of Chiropractic degree
  274. 11:30from Texas Chiropractic College,
  275. 11:32but, while he listed-- lists all these other schools on LinkedIn
  276. 11:35we checked and he didn't graduate from any of them.
  277. 11:38In fact, we asked him and he admits,
  278. 11:40he does not have an undergraduate degree.
  279. 11:43And as for whether he's an "MIT alumni,"
  280. 11:46he only completed a non-degree certificate program there,
  281. 11:49in fact, just to be sure, we contacted MIT,
  282. 11:51and according to them, "It is not accurate to say
  283. 11:54he has a degree from MIT... and calling him an alumni
  284. 11:57would be inaccurate and misleading."
  285. 11:59(CROWD LAUGHING)
  286. 12:00Which does make sense when you think about it.
  287. 12:03Because this man doesn't look like an MIT alumnus.
  288. 12:07He looks like a fifth-year senior
  289. 12:09at the University of Falling Off a Surfboard.
  290. 12:12So-- so just to clarify Alex,
  291. 12:15that is what we are making fun of, when we make fun
  292. 12:18of Doctor Group. Well that, and, the fact
  293. 12:21that he looks like what would happen
  294. 12:22if Iggy Pop got "The Rachel."
  295. 12:24(CROWD LAUGHING)
  296. 12:25And look! Jones can inflate Doctor Group's credentials
  297. 12:28all he wants. He says a lot of crazy shit on his show.
  298. 12:32But it is noticeable that when it comes
  299. 12:34to selling his supplements, he can sometimes show a caution
  300. 12:37that is pretty out of character. Just watch him
  301. 12:40bend over backwards to repeatedly qualify
  302. 12:42what he says, seconds after he said it.
  303. 12:45Maybe you've had back pain before,
  304. 12:46maybe you've had nerves that were cut off.
  305. 12:49This creates tingling, this-- A lot of people have
  306. 12:51their feeling come back. I'm not gonna make claims
  307. 12:53if this research is true. Organically based bio PQQ,
  308. 12:56but it's not technically organic.
  309. 12:58(CROWD LAUGHING)
  310. 13:00The other stuff's synthetic, (INDISTINCT) are lab-made.
  311. 13:03This is made from organic sources...
  312. 13:05but the bacteria is GMO.
  313. 13:07I'll just tell ya up front...
  314. 13:08but it's not like the super high-tech stuff.
  315. 13:10It's a bacteria that's just been bred,
  316. 13:13to be able to then secrete and produce.
  317. 13:15It's just like beer is bacteria, it's a lot of good bacteria,
  318. 13:18obviously, but this one--
  319. 13:19that's how the Japanese do it. But it's bio-identical.
  320. 13:23This stuff is only found in comets.
  321. 13:26And in trace amounts in blueberries.
  322. 13:28(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
  323. 13:31Wait. Wait.
  324. 13:35OK, so let's break that down.
  325. 13:37It repairs nerves but maybe doesn't.
  326. 13:40It's organic but not really.
  327. 13:41It contains GMOs, which is bad,
  328. 13:43except for when he's selling you something
  329. 13:45and you can only find its ingredients in comets.
  330. 13:48Oh, and blueberries.
  331. 13:50And it's the drop off after that last one
  332. 13:52that is really incredible.
  333. 13:53You can only find this stuff in dinosaur bones
  334. 13:56and in trace amounts in Ritz bits.
  335. 14:00And look, Jones's products don't come cheap.
  336. 14:02For instance, he sells this one fluid ounce bottle
  337. 14:05of Vitamin D3 for 29.95.
  338. 14:07But consumerlab.com, a supplement watchdog,
  339. 14:10points out that you can buy the same amount of D3,
  340. 14:12from other sources, for less than four dollars.
  341. 14:15But Jones will often give you a hard sell.
  342. 14:17Sometimes, he'll tell you his products are different
  343. 14:20than the ones that you can find in stores,
  344. 14:21and sometimes, he'll go even bigger.
  345. 14:24It is absolutely in the crystalline form,
  346. 14:26the strongest, you absorb it.
  347. 14:28So, folks, don't go out to the store and get iodine
  348. 14:30from, say, one of the big chains.
  349. 14:32It'll kill you!
  350. 14:33Woah! Wow! I honestly did not know
  351. 14:37that you could imply your competition kills people.
  352. 14:40Four out of five dentists prefer Trident gum
  353. 14:42and the fifth dentist is dead because he put a piece
  354. 14:45of Wrigleys in his mouth and that's basically suicide!
  355. 14:50And to hear Jones tell it... to hear Jones tell it,
  356. 14:53his products are marked up
  357. 14:54just enough to keep his business going.
  358. 14:56As he explained in his recent appearance on,
  359. 14:59Rationalizing Low Ratings with Megyn Kelly.
  360. 15:01It may cost 45, 50 million dollars a year, around that.
  361. 15:04How much money is being made?
  362. 15:06Well, the money that's made
  363. 15:07is pretty much put back into things.
  364. 15:09Okay, so that is remarkable for two reasons.
  365. 15:12First, 45 to 50 million dollars is a lot of money.
  366. 15:16And second, Jones would have you believe
  367. 15:18that every penny they earn is being plowed back
  368. 15:20into a show that looks like it was filmed on the set
  369. 15:23of a low-budget porn parody of itself.
  370. 15:26In fact, as he frequently tells is audience,
  371. 15:29he needs them to buy more to keep
  372. 15:31his truth telling crusades solvent and growing.
  373. 15:34JONES: We need to fund ourselves,
  374. 15:35and we find ourselves by you buying the products.
  375. 15:37We're at a shortfall now because of the massive,
  376. 15:39sustained economic attacks we're under, but the listeners
  377. 15:42in just two weeks have almost narrowed that gap.
  378. 15:44I could have to sell my house...
  379. 15:47to keep this place running three, four months.
  380. 15:49I could have sponsors every segment.
  381. 15:50I don't do it. I plug enough to fund things.
  382. 15:53Fund us, give me the energy
  383. 15:55and I will attack the enemy.
  384. 15:58Exactly! It's like an NPR pledge drive
  385. 16:00for people who hate NPR. Because to listen to Jones,
  386. 16:04Infowars is perpetually on the edge of disaster.
  387. 16:07He even has a link on the Infowars store,
  388. 16:09where you can just give him money,
  389. 16:11to help fund the fight against tyranny.
  390. 16:13And contributors have left comments like,
  391. 16:16"Twenty-five dollars may not be much,
  392. 16:17but I know every little bit helps."
  393. 16:19But Jones seems to be doing a bit more
  394. 16:22than just keeping his head above water.
  395. 16:24Ex-employees describe a thriving business
  396. 16:27with one saying, "He can sell 500 supplements
  397. 16:29in an hour... It's like QVC for conspiracy."
  398. 16:33And in one of those clips we showed earlier,
  399. 16:34we noticed he's wearing what looks like a Rolex watch
  400. 16:38worth around 8000 dollars.
  401. 16:40Which... cool.
  402. 16:42And, y'know, as we looked around,
  403. 16:44we noticed he also seems to have another two different Rolexes.
  404. 16:47And you know... cooler.
  405. 16:49And here's the thing, that is honestly fine.
  406. 16:52He can have fancy watches.
  407. 16:54There is nothing wrong with him getting paid.
  408. 16:56I get paid to make this show.
  409. 16:58But it does fight with his message
  410. 17:00that he needs you to buy products
  411. 17:03to help keep his show going. And even Alex Jones
  412. 17:05seems to be a little self-conscious
  413. 17:07about that disconnect.
  414. 17:08But don't worry, he's reconciled it
  415. 17:10in a truly amazing way.
  416. 17:13I wear a blue sports coat and a Rolex
  417. 17:16because it's a symbol of middle-class
  418. 17:17and humanity having prosperity and promoting human prosperity
  419. 17:21for respect of empowering humanity
  420. 17:24and stealing the image of a man in a sports jacket
  421. 17:26with a Rolex, that is the satanic image.
  422. 17:29So, I dress as a Satanist,
  423. 17:32so that I can enter their world and show you
  424. 17:34that none of it means anything.
  425. 17:36Oh bullshit!
  426. 17:39How stupid do you think your audience is?
  427. 17:42Okay, you bought a Rolex
  428. 17:43so you could dress up like a Satanist.
  429. 17:45What are the other two for?
  430. 17:47And incidentally tormenting the parents of Sandy Hooke
  431. 17:51should comfortably get you into the satanic club.
  432. 17:53I believe that's the easy pass to whatever hell's version
  433. 17:56of the champagne room is.
  434. 17:58And look, so, at the start of this piece,
  435. 17:59I promised Alex Jones that I would put his statements
  436. 18:02in context, because he is right
  437. 18:04that if you place small clips in isolation,
  438. 18:07he looks like a loon.
  439. 18:08But if you play them in context,
  440. 18:10he looks like a skilled salesman spending hours a day
  441. 18:14frightening you about problems like refugees spreading disease
  442. 18:17and then selling you an answer.
  443. 18:19Remember that gay frog clip at the start?
  444. 18:21He did a follow-up show, explaining how chemicals
  445. 18:24were being placed in the water to feminize society
  446. 18:27and reduce the population,
  447. 18:28and then immediately segued to this...
  448. 18:31We shell five different brands of the very best water--
  449. 18:34water filtration systems out there.
  450. 18:36They're amazing, they cut out 99.99 percent
  451. 18:38of the glyphosate, the herbicides,
  452. 18:40the pesticides, the fluoride.
  453. 18:42I mean to an untrained eye, it sure seems like
  454. 18:45he was using the idea of a gay frog
  455. 18:47to sell his products, which, incidentally is the same mistake
  456. 18:50-the WB network made. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
  457. 18:52And-- and listen, listen! I'm not saying-- I'm not saying
  458. 18:57the only reason Jones is talking about the globalist,
  459. 19:00systematically feminizing us,
  460. 19:02is to sell over-priced nutraceuticals
  461. 19:04so he can buy luxury watches, but if I were saying that,
  462. 19:07it certainly wouldn't be the stupidest conspiracy theory
  463. 19:09that you've heard so far, tonight.
  464. 19:11So, if Alex Jones wants his words in context,
  465. 19:14this is it.
  466. 19:16The fact that he happens to sell so many solutions
  467. 19:19should really re-contextualize how you think
  468. 19:22about what he is claiming are problems.
  469. 19:24Think about it like this. How would you feel,
  470. 19:27if at the end of this segment that may well have made you
  471. 19:29feel a little dirty, I tried to sell you something
  472. 19:33to wipe that gross feeling away? Would you question my motives?
  473. 19:38Well, I certainly hope not,
  474. 19:40because that's what we are doing right now.
  475. 19:42(CROWD CHEERING)
  476. 19:43Come with me. Come with me because I'm proud to say
  477. 19:47that we've been working with a leading medical expert,
  478. 19:50and I would like you to meet him right now.
  479. 19:52Please, please welcome Doctor Ted Group III.
  480. 19:56-(CROWD CHEERING) -Doctor Ted.
  481. 19:57Ah, so happy to be here.
  482. 20:00We-- we're so happy to have you, doctor.
  483. 20:04A-- and we are-- we are here, the doctor and I, to offer you
  484. 20:08the John Oliver Moisture Armored Tactical Assault Wipe.
  485. 20:12The first tactical wipe for use, exclusively,
  486. 20:15on the perineal.
  487. 20:16That's right. Uh, for goodness sake,
  488. 20:18don't use this anywhere else. You're gonna wanna just focus...
  489. 20:23-Right. -...on this area right here.
  490. 20:25-JOHN: OK. -DOCTOR: Right here.
  491. 20:27Now... now... now Doctor,
  492. 20:30Doctor, how is this going to make people feel better
  493. 20:34about what they've seen tonight? How...
  494. 20:36Well my studies show that when you vigorously apply
  495. 20:39this taint wipe, it causes a sensation
  496. 20:41that distracts the brain from whatever it had previously
  497. 20:44-been thinking about. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
  498. 20:46OK, and again, you've got degrees from MIT,
  499. 20:50and everywhere else, and a bunch of other degrees.
  500. 20:51The media makes fun of you and says that you're an idiot.
  501. 20:54-They do. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
  502. 20:56Just-- just for the record, you did go to MIT, right?
  503. 20:59Well I've definitely physically been there.
  504. 21:02That's... that's essentially the same.
  505. 21:04That's what I've been telling everybody.
  506. 21:06Now-- now you can actually buy one of these wipes
  507. 21:09at infowipes.com for one million dollars.
  508. 21:14This is real. They are actually available
  509. 21:16for a million dollars apiece,
  510. 21:17and don't even think about buying a similar wipe
  511. 21:20in a store, because those wipes will kill you.
  512. 21:23Yeah, also, these wipes have the power
  513. 21:26to heterosexualize frogs.
  514. 21:28So uh, that's very nice to have,
  515. 21:30'cause that's been a real problem
  516. 21:32-what with all the refugees. -(CROWD GROANS AND LAUGHS)
  517. 21:34And look-- look, this tactical taint wipe has demonstrated
  518. 21:37incredible results, hasn't it, Doctor?
  519. 21:39Absolutely, it sure has.
  520. 21:40Look at this photo of me.
  521. 21:42And now look at this photo of me forty-five minutes later...
  522. 21:46-after applying the taint wipe. -(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
  523. 21:49You-- you're much redder there.
  524. 21:51-I'm so much redder! -So much redder!
  525. 21:54-So disturbingly red! -So much...
  526. 21:56So, if you want to spend a million dollars
  527. 21:58on a taint wipe, go to infowipes.com,
  528. 22:01and if you're thinking, "Well, no one's going to do that,"
  529. 22:03all I will say is, people pay Alex Jones 45 dollars
  530. 22:07for a jar of chocolate flavored chicken juice,
  531. 22:09so anything is fucking possible.
