Alex Jones: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:04We're gonna talk about the media,
- 0:06specifically, one increasingly influential member of it,
- 0:08Alex Jones,
- 0:10the Walter Cronkite of shrieking batshit gorilla clowns.
- 0:13(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 0:14And I know you may be thinking,
- 0:15there is nothing more I need to know about Alex Jones.
- 0:18Because you've probably seen crazy clips like this.
- 0:21ALEX JONES: What do you think tap water is?
- 0:22It's a gay bomb, baby.
- 0:24And I'm not saying people didn't naturally
- 0:26have homosexual feelings. I'm not even getting into it.
- 0:29You think I-- (GUFFAWS) I'm like shocked by it,
- 0:31so I'm up here bashing it because I don't like gay people?
- 0:34(YELLS) I don't like 'em putting chemicals in the water
- 0:36that turn the friggin' frogs gay!
- 0:39Do you understand that?
- 0:41(GRUNTS) Crap!
- 0:43Wow. If he is that upset about a government conspiracy
- 0:47that is not happening, just imagine how upset
- 0:49he's gonna be when he finds out about one that is actually is.
- 0:52Like the fact that the government
- 0:53is turning raccoons bi-lingual.
- 0:55Oh, that's right, they're all fluent in French now
- 0:57and they will be working that into conversation.
- 1:00And that famous clip is by no means and outlier.
- 1:04Jones is a charismatic performer who gets charged up
- 1:07on a regular basis, so there are plenty
- 1:09of lesser known outbursts like this...
- 1:11My spirit is close than evil and I feel it
- 1:13and my whole spirit just goes... (SCREAMS)
- 1:18They call that crazy, that's not crazy,
- 1:20that's my will, my human spirit saying,
- 1:22"Crush those that would hurt the innocent!
- 1:24Go after the enemy, build a civilization,
- 1:27be honorable!
- 1:28Crush the snakes under your feet!"
- 1:30Well, at least now we know what Friday Night Lights
- 1:33would've looked like if they'd given Coach Taylor
- 1:35-a nasty PCP habit. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 1:37Go after the enemy!
- 1:38Crush the snakes under your feet! (SNIFFS)
- 1:40Clear ice, full house. I've got the snakes everywhere!
- 1:43Stop those snakes, motherfuckers. (SCREAMS)
- 1:47(CROWD CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
- 1:50Now look, ideally, ideally, the first thing you should know
- 1:55about The Alex Jones Show, is nothing.
- 1:58But, unfortunately, it is an important part
- 2:01of a lot of people's media diets.
- 2:02An estimated six million people listen to his radio show
- 2:06or watch it online every week,
- 2:07and we know at least one Jones fan seems to be
- 2:10current Russian Ambassador to the United States,
- 2:13-Donald Trump. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 2:14He-- he supposedly called Jones after the election,
- 2:18has tweeted content from Infowars and one of its editors
- 2:21and just a year and a half ago, even appeared on his show.
- 2:24TRUMP: I just wanna finish by saying,
- 2:26your reputation's amazing. I will not let you down.
- 2:29You will be very, very impressed, I hope
- 2:32and I think we'll be speaking a lot.
- 2:34The only thing that could've made that moment any grosser
- 2:37is if Nigel Farage, Bill Cosby and Phil Spector
- 2:39-were all on the same call. -(CROWD GROANING)
- 2:41So look, it is no wonder that Jones has been getting
- 2:44a lot of coverage, recently.
- 2:46We even mentioned him on our first show of the season,
- 2:48back in February and in his response to it,
- 2:51he seemed a little annoyed with me.
- 2:53Your ratings are in the toilet, you're a joke,
- 2:55they brought you back, revamped...
- 2:58out of the gate, to attack yours truly.
- 3:01After you lectured us that Donald Trump
- 3:03could never win, over and over again,
- 3:04as you know, you're the intellectual,
- 3:06everybody knows a British accent is intellectual.
- 3:08(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 3:09You know, there's no facts behind it.
- 3:10And now, you make fun of me out of context,
- 3:12and I'll go, "Look at this loon!"
- 3:14Hey boy, people want legitimacy, they want real.
- 3:19They want to hear somebody that can speak to 'em
- 3:21and touch 'em inside.
- 3:23-(CROWD GROANING) -Okay, okay, I--
- 3:25A few things there. One, don't call me boy.
- 3:28And two, my British accent does not sound intellectual.
- 3:32Believe me, I sound like a chimney sweep
- 3:34passing through a wood chipper.
- 3:36But-- but I will give him this, Jones is right,
- 3:39that too often, people don't present him in his full context.
- 3:42So tonight, we are going to do that,
- 3:45and let's first set aside the key context,
- 3:47that Alex Jones has repeatedly used his show
- 3:49to fuel speculation that the Sandy Hook Massacre
- 3:51was staged by the government, which has been deeply hurtful
- 3:54for the parents of those children over the years.
- 3:56That is disgusting and should be disqualifying
- 3:59in terms of ever taking him seriously.
- 4:02Sadly, doing things that disqualify you
- 4:04from being taken seriously,
- 4:05doesn't really seem to be much of a thing anymore.
- 4:08But-- but there is a piece of context,
- 4:11you may be less aware of
- 4:12and that concerns the nature of Jones' show itself.
- 4:15It is four hours long,
- 4:17and if you tune into the whole thing,
- 4:19your most shocking discovery might be how frequently
- 4:21and shamelessly he pitches products that he sells.
- 4:24In fact, remember that clip from him earlier,
- 4:26yelling about snakes?
- 4:28Let's just go back to that and play it out a bit.
- 4:30Be honorable! Crush the snakes under your feet!
- 4:35(SIGHS) Get behind me, Satan!
- 4:37(PANTING) Now before I go any further...
- 4:41before I go any further...
- 4:43we gotta fund this operation,
- 4:44we got the very best nutraceuticals out there.
- 4:46I don't know if I can run this for another week or so,
- 4:48we wanna run this through the end of the month,
- 4:49that's like 11 days.
- 4:51'Cause I don't want it to sell out before more gets in
- 4:54Twenty percent off infowarslive.com,
- 4:56-infowarslive.com. -(CROWD GROANING)
- 4:57infowarslive.com!
- 4:59Woah! That is a hard turn to have to make.
- 5:03(YELLS) The Satan-worshiping deep state globalists
- 5:05are gonna murder you and your entire family!
- 5:07Open your eyes, sheeple, they are coming for you,
- 5:09they're coming for all of us!
- 5:11(CLEARS THROAT)
- 5:12But first...
- 5:14-McGillicuddy's Oatmeal. -(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
- 5:17The perfect way to start your day.
- 5:21And look, that clip is not an anomaly.
- 5:24In one week of recent broadcast on his sight,
- 5:26we found he spent nearly a quarter of the time,
- 5:29either talking about or playing ads for his products,
- 5:32or pointing you to the Infowars store.
- 5:34And if you have never gone shopping on Infowars, you are in
- 5:37for whatever the exact opposite of a treat is.
- 5:40Because there's the kind of survival gear
- 5:43that you would expect alongside more surprising items
- 5:45like organic shampoo, body wash and deodorant
- 5:49as well as products like Combat One Tactical Bath Wipes
- 5:52a ten-dollar pack of moist towelettes
- 5:54that can be used anywhere needed,
- 5:56including the perineal area.
- 5:59Which, if you're wondering, is this region, right here.
- 6:02-(CROWD GROANING) -That's right, Alex Jones
- 6:04is trying to sell you sloppy wet rags for your tait.
- 6:07And-- and when you are done wiping down
- 6:10the area between your genitals and anus
- 6:12with a glorified wet nap...
- 6:14why not pick up a Bill Clinton Rape Whistle?
- 6:16Which, according to Infowars, should be used
- 6:20to let Bill know you're in the crowd
- 6:22and that you know the truth.
- 6:24That truth, by the way...
- 6:28You just spent six dollars on a whistle.
- 6:30Oh, that's right we bought this and by the way our order came
- 6:34with a free "9-11 was an inside job"
- 6:37-bumper sticker... -(CROWD GROANING)
- 6:38...that we most assuredly did not ask for. And look...
- 6:42radio hosts doing ads is not inherently unusual,
- 6:45but since 2013, Jones has increasingly focused
- 6:48on promoting his own products, which he sells on his site
- 6:52under his Infowars Life brand,
- 6:54particularly, vitamins and nutraceuticals,
- 6:57which I believe are the result of the word, "nutrition"
- 7:00fucking the word "pharmaceutical" from behind.
- 7:02(BED CREAKING)
- 7:03I'm pretty sure that's what it is,
- 7:05but this-- this is a big part of Jones' business.
- 7:09Two thirds of his funding reportedly comes
- 7:12from selling his products and they are a lot of them.
- 7:16And the reason I know that is we bought a whole bunch.
- 7:20Now, let me break them down for you.
- 7:22There is a Super Male Vitality, a Super Female Vitality,
- 7:26"Wake Up America Patriot Blend" coffee, Lung Cleanse,
- 7:30Brain Force Plus, something called DNA Force
- 7:33that cost 120 dollars a bottle,
- 7:35and Child Ease, a herbal blend, which, according to Infowars,
- 7:39is "designed to sooth the mind and bodies of children"
- 7:43which is a profoundly, creepy phase.
- 7:46And then, there is Caveman True Paleo Formula with bone broth,
- 7:51a chocolate flavored drink mix, made from bee pollen, stevia
- 7:55and the dust of chicken skeletons.
- 7:58Now, according to Infowars, it is one of the most popular
- 8:02new health trend in the world today.
- 8:05And by the look on Jones' face, it tastes
- 8:07exactly as good as it sounds.
- 8:09You pour that in on a couple of ice cubes.
- 8:11And folks, it tastes...
- 8:12when it's creamy and thick, I think, better than Ovaltine.
- 8:16And it has got all the bone broth and so much more.
- 8:20This is why, the ancients, they believe were--
- 8:22had such better bones,
- 8:23were so much healthier, you can look it up.
- 8:24This-- you could freeze this and this will be better
- 8:27than, like, bluebell chocolate ice cream.
- 8:29Mm!
- 8:31(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 8:34(LAUGHING) Okay! Okay, I know for a fact
- 8:37that Alex Jones did not enjoy drinking that glass of Caveman.
- 8:41Because, I have got a glass of Caveman, right here.
- 8:45And I can confirm to you that it tastes...
- 8:48(COUGHING)
- 8:50It taste exactly how you imagine a drink would taste
- 8:53that's made from chocolate and domesticated bird corpses.
- 8:56It-- it comes at you in waves.
- 8:59And that is not the only time that Jones has used himself
- 9:03as a guinea pig to sell his own products.
- 9:05And a warning, now, to our younger viewers,
- 9:07the following footage of a man graphically too comfortable
- 9:09with his own body, may be disturbing.
- 9:12Just ten minutes before we taped this,
- 9:14I decided to do this 'cause I haven't done this
- 9:15in a while. We took photos... a year ago,
- 9:18And then again about six months ago
- 9:19and the weight loss is dramatic,
- 9:21already from what happened before.
- 9:23(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 9:25Okay, so you're redder... and you're wearing a belt.
- 9:30The only thing I can discern happened
- 9:32between those two photos
- 9:33is that you walked shirtless in the sun for two hours
- 9:35to a belt store.
- 9:37You-- you could flip those two photos around
- 9:40and the effect would be exactly the same. Also...
- 9:46And look, to be fair to Jones, he does have a medical expert,
- 9:50who consults on many of his supplements,
- 9:52Doctor Edward Group III, who looks like the lead
- 9:55in a Director DVD Kato Kaelin biopic.
- 9:58But he's actually even less impressive than that.
- 10:02Here he is in an Infowars ad
- 10:03explaining the importance of one of the products.
- 10:06GROUP: If you're suffering from abdominal pain,
- 10:09allergies, even like headaches, anemia,
- 10:11weakened immune system, gut problems, depression,
- 10:15hair loss, uh... excess gas,
- 10:18muscle pain, nervousness, I mean, all of these things,
- 10:21if you look at some of these conditions
- 10:24and then us opening up our borders
- 10:26and all the other countries opening up our-- their borders,
- 10:29you're just dealing with a mass amount of parasites
- 10:33or are harmful organisms.
- 10:34You can type in "refugees spreading disease"
- 10:37I mean, the CDC is going crazy right now.
- 10:39Actually, I'm pretty sure that if you type,
- 10:41"refugee spreading disease" into Google and press enter,
- 10:44it just takes you right to the Wikipedia page
- 10:46for xenophobia, which, at the end of the day,
- 10:49is a real time saver for you. But despite the fact
- 10:52that Doctor Group looks like what would happen
- 10:53if Tom Petty was machine washed instead of dry cleaned...
- 10:56(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 10:57... Alex Jones swears by him.
- 10:59In fact, he's been pretty defensive
- 11:01about Doctor Group's credentials.
- 11:03It doesn't matter you've got degrees from MIT
- 11:04and everywhere else and a bunch of other degrees,
- 11:06the media makes fun of you and says that you're an idiot.
- 11:09-(SIGHS) That's right. -I mean literally they say
- 11:11we cannot sell coffee, it's a fraud.
- 11:13That's right, that's right.
- 11:14I-- I've been a research scientist
- 11:16for a long time, I do have--
- 11:17I am MIT alumni and I can tell you
- 11:20that I do research all the time--
- 11:22Okay, stop.
- 11:24A-- Look, let's break down that "bunch of degrees"
- 11:27Jones mentioned.
- 11:28Group does have a Doctor of Chiropractic degree
- 11:30from Texas Chiropractic College,
- 11:32but, while he listed-- lists all these other schools on LinkedIn
- 11:35we checked and he didn't graduate from any of them.
- 11:38In fact, we asked him and he admits,
- 11:40he does not have an undergraduate degree.
- 11:43And as for whether he's an "MIT alumni,"
- 11:46he only completed a non-degree certificate program there,
- 11:49in fact, just to be sure, we contacted MIT,
- 11:51and according to them, "It is not accurate to say
- 11:54he has a degree from MIT... and calling him an alumni
- 11:57would be inaccurate and misleading."
- 11:59(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 12:00Which does make sense when you think about it.
- 12:03Because this man doesn't look like an MIT alumnus.
- 12:07He looks like a fifth-year senior
- 12:09at the University of Falling Off a Surfboard.
- 12:12So-- so just to clarify Alex,
- 12:15that is what we are making fun of, when we make fun
- 12:18of Doctor Group. Well that, and, the fact
- 12:21that he looks like what would happen
- 12:22if Iggy Pop got "The Rachel."
- 12:24(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 12:25And look! Jones can inflate Doctor Group's credentials
- 12:28all he wants. He says a lot of crazy shit on his show.
- 12:32But it is noticeable that when it comes
- 12:34to selling his supplements, he can sometimes show a caution
- 12:37that is pretty out of character. Just watch him
- 12:40bend over backwards to repeatedly qualify
- 12:42what he says, seconds after he said it.
- 12:45Maybe you've had back pain before,
- 12:46maybe you've had nerves that were cut off.
- 12:49This creates tingling, this-- A lot of people have
- 12:51their feeling come back. I'm not gonna make claims
- 12:53if this research is true. Organically based bio PQQ,
- 12:56but it's not technically organic.
- 12:58(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 13:00The other stuff's synthetic, (INDISTINCT) are lab-made.
- 13:03This is made from organic sources...
- 13:05but the bacteria is GMO.
- 13:07I'll just tell ya up front...
- 13:08but it's not like the super high-tech stuff.
- 13:10It's a bacteria that's just been bred,
- 13:13to be able to then secrete and produce.
- 13:15It's just like beer is bacteria, it's a lot of good bacteria,
- 13:18obviously, but this one--
- 13:19that's how the Japanese do it. But it's bio-identical.
- 13:23This stuff is only found in comets.
- 13:26And in trace amounts in blueberries.
- 13:28(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
- 13:31Wait. Wait.
- 13:35OK, so let's break that down.
- 13:37It repairs nerves but maybe doesn't.
- 13:40It's organic but not really.
- 13:41It contains GMOs, which is bad,
- 13:43except for when he's selling you something
- 13:45and you can only find its ingredients in comets.
- 13:48Oh, and blueberries.
- 13:50And it's the drop off after that last one
- 13:52that is really incredible.
- 13:53You can only find this stuff in dinosaur bones
- 13:56and in trace amounts in Ritz bits.
- 14:00And look, Jones's products don't come cheap.
- 14:02For instance, he sells this one fluid ounce bottle
- 14:05of Vitamin D3 for 29.95.
- 14:07But consumerlab.com, a supplement watchdog,
- 14:10points out that you can buy the same amount of D3,
- 14:12from other sources, for less than four dollars.
- 14:15But Jones will often give you a hard sell.
- 14:17Sometimes, he'll tell you his products are different
- 14:20than the ones that you can find in stores,
- 14:21and sometimes, he'll go even bigger.
- 14:24It is absolutely in the crystalline form,
- 14:26the strongest, you absorb it.
- 14:28So, folks, don't go out to the store and get iodine
- 14:30from, say, one of the big chains.
- 14:32It'll kill you!
- 14:33Woah! Wow! I honestly did not know
- 14:37that you could imply your competition kills people.
- 14:40Four out of five dentists prefer Trident gum
- 14:42and the fifth dentist is dead because he put a piece
- 14:45of Wrigleys in his mouth and that's basically suicide!
- 14:50And to hear Jones tell it... to hear Jones tell it,
- 14:53his products are marked up
- 14:54just enough to keep his business going.
- 14:56As he explained in his recent appearance on,
- 14:59Rationalizing Low Ratings with Megyn Kelly.
- 15:01It may cost 45, 50 million dollars a year, around that.
- 15:04How much money is being made?
- 15:06Well, the money that's made
- 15:07is pretty much put back into things.
- 15:09Okay, so that is remarkable for two reasons.
- 15:12First, 45 to 50 million dollars is a lot of money.
- 15:16And second, Jones would have you believe
- 15:18that every penny they earn is being plowed back
- 15:20into a show that looks like it was filmed on the set
- 15:23of a low-budget porn parody of itself.
- 15:26In fact, as he frequently tells is audience,
- 15:29he needs them to buy more to keep
- 15:31his truth telling crusades solvent and growing.
- 15:34JONES: We need to fund ourselves,
- 15:35and we find ourselves by you buying the products.
- 15:37We're at a shortfall now because of the massive,
- 15:39sustained economic attacks we're under, but the listeners
- 15:42in just two weeks have almost narrowed that gap.
- 15:44I could have to sell my house...
- 15:47to keep this place running three, four months.
- 15:49I could have sponsors every segment.
- 15:50I don't do it. I plug enough to fund things.
- 15:53Fund us, give me the energy
- 15:55and I will attack the enemy.
- 15:58Exactly! It's like an NPR pledge drive
- 16:00for people who hate NPR. Because to listen to Jones,
- 16:04Infowars is perpetually on the edge of disaster.
- 16:07He even has a link on the Infowars store,
- 16:09where you can just give him money,
- 16:11to help fund the fight against tyranny.
- 16:13And contributors have left comments like,
- 16:16"Twenty-five dollars may not be much,
- 16:17but I know every little bit helps."
- 16:19But Jones seems to be doing a bit more
- 16:22than just keeping his head above water.
- 16:24Ex-employees describe a thriving business
- 16:27with one saying, "He can sell 500 supplements
- 16:29in an hour... It's like QVC for conspiracy."
- 16:33And in one of those clips we showed earlier,
- 16:34we noticed he's wearing what looks like a Rolex watch
- 16:38worth around 8000 dollars.
- 16:40Which... cool.
- 16:42And, y'know, as we looked around,
- 16:44we noticed he also seems to have another two different Rolexes.
- 16:47And you know... cooler.
- 16:49And here's the thing, that is honestly fine.
- 16:52He can have fancy watches.
- 16:54There is nothing wrong with him getting paid.
- 16:56I get paid to make this show.
- 16:58But it does fight with his message
- 17:00that he needs you to buy products
- 17:03to help keep his show going. And even Alex Jones
- 17:05seems to be a little self-conscious
- 17:07about that disconnect.
- 17:08But don't worry, he's reconciled it
- 17:10in a truly amazing way.
- 17:13I wear a blue sports coat and a Rolex
- 17:16because it's a symbol of middle-class
- 17:17and humanity having prosperity and promoting human prosperity
- 17:21for respect of empowering humanity
- 17:24and stealing the image of a man in a sports jacket
- 17:26with a Rolex, that is the satanic image.
- 17:29So, I dress as a Satanist,
- 17:32so that I can enter their world and show you
- 17:34that none of it means anything.
- 17:36Oh bullshit!
- 17:39How stupid do you think your audience is?
- 17:42Okay, you bought a Rolex
- 17:43so you could dress up like a Satanist.
- 17:45What are the other two for?
- 17:47And incidentally tormenting the parents of Sandy Hooke
- 17:51should comfortably get you into the satanic club.
- 17:53I believe that's the easy pass to whatever hell's version
- 17:56of the champagne room is.
- 17:58And look, so, at the start of this piece,
- 17:59I promised Alex Jones that I would put his statements
- 18:02in context, because he is right
- 18:04that if you place small clips in isolation,
- 18:07he looks like a loon.
- 18:08But if you play them in context,
- 18:10he looks like a skilled salesman spending hours a day
- 18:14frightening you about problems like refugees spreading disease
- 18:17and then selling you an answer.
- 18:19Remember that gay frog clip at the start?
- 18:21He did a follow-up show, explaining how chemicals
- 18:24were being placed in the water to feminize society
- 18:27and reduce the population,
- 18:28and then immediately segued to this...
- 18:31We shell five different brands of the very best water--
- 18:34water filtration systems out there.
- 18:36They're amazing, they cut out 99.99 percent
- 18:38of the glyphosate, the herbicides,
- 18:40the pesticides, the fluoride.
- 18:42I mean to an untrained eye, it sure seems like
- 18:45he was using the idea of a gay frog
- 18:47to sell his products, which, incidentally is the same mistake
- 18:50-the WB network made. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 18:52And-- and listen, listen! I'm not saying-- I'm not saying
- 18:57the only reason Jones is talking about the globalist,
- 19:00systematically feminizing us,
- 19:02is to sell over-priced nutraceuticals
- 19:04so he can buy luxury watches, but if I were saying that,
- 19:07it certainly wouldn't be the stupidest conspiracy theory
- 19:09that you've heard so far, tonight.
- 19:11So, if Alex Jones wants his words in context,
- 19:14this is it.
- 19:16The fact that he happens to sell so many solutions
- 19:19should really re-contextualize how you think
- 19:22about what he is claiming are problems.
- 19:24Think about it like this. How would you feel,
- 19:27if at the end of this segment that may well have made you
- 19:29feel a little dirty, I tried to sell you something
- 19:33to wipe that gross feeling away? Would you question my motives?
- 19:38Well, I certainly hope not,
- 19:40because that's what we are doing right now.
- 19:42(CROWD CHEERING)
- 19:43Come with me. Come with me because I'm proud to say
- 19:47that we've been working with a leading medical expert,
- 19:50and I would like you to meet him right now.
- 19:52Please, please welcome Doctor Ted Group III.
- 19:56-(CROWD CHEERING) -Doctor Ted.
- 19:57Ah, so happy to be here.
- 20:00We-- we're so happy to have you, doctor.
- 20:04A-- and we are-- we are here, the doctor and I, to offer you
- 20:08the John Oliver Moisture Armored Tactical Assault Wipe.
- 20:12The first tactical wipe for use, exclusively,
- 20:15on the perineal.
- 20:16That's right. Uh, for goodness sake,
- 20:18don't use this anywhere else. You're gonna wanna just focus...
- 20:23-Right. -...on this area right here.
- 20:25-JOHN: OK. -DOCTOR: Right here.
- 20:27Now... now... now Doctor,
- 20:30Doctor, how is this going to make people feel better
- 20:34about what they've seen tonight? How...
- 20:36Well my studies show that when you vigorously apply
- 20:39this taint wipe, it causes a sensation
- 20:41that distracts the brain from whatever it had previously
- 20:44-been thinking about. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 20:46OK, and again, you've got degrees from MIT,
- 20:50and everywhere else, and a bunch of other degrees.
- 20:51The media makes fun of you and says that you're an idiot.
- 20:54-They do. -(CROWD LAUGHING)
- 20:56Just-- just for the record, you did go to MIT, right?
- 20:59Well I've definitely physically been there.
- 21:02That's... that's essentially the same.
- 21:04That's what I've been telling everybody.
- 21:06Now-- now you can actually buy one of these wipes
- 21:09at infowipes.com for one million dollars.
- 21:14This is real. They are actually available
- 21:16for a million dollars apiece,
- 21:17and don't even think about buying a similar wipe
- 21:20in a store, because those wipes will kill you.
- 21:23Yeah, also, these wipes have the power
- 21:26to heterosexualize frogs.
- 21:28So uh, that's very nice to have,
- 21:30'cause that's been a real problem
- 21:32-what with all the refugees. -(CROWD GROANS AND LAUGHS)
- 21:34And look-- look, this tactical taint wipe has demonstrated
- 21:37incredible results, hasn't it, Doctor?
- 21:39Absolutely, it sure has.
- 21:40Look at this photo of me.
- 21:42And now look at this photo of me forty-five minutes later...
- 21:46-after applying the taint wipe. -(CROWD LAUGHING AND CLAPPING)
- 21:49You-- you're much redder there.
- 21:51-I'm so much redder! -So much redder!
- 21:54-So disturbingly red! -So much...
- 21:56So, if you want to spend a million dollars
- 21:58on a taint wipe, go to infowipes.com,
- 22:01and if you're thinking, "Well, no one's going to do that,"
- 22:03all I will say is, people pay Alex Jones 45 dollars
- 22:07for a jar of chocolate flavored chicken juice,
- 22:09so anything is fucking possible.
