1. 0:00so uh so yeah that kind of brings us
2. 0:03relatively up to date with alex jones he
3. 0:05spent like the last
4. 0:06so when obama got uh re-elected then he
5. 0:09just kept that
6. 0:10train going he kept the money train
7. 0:12going he always was like on the
8. 0:14periphery of politics he would never
9. 0:16like he didn't trust anybody in the
10. 0:18federal government enough to ever like
11. 0:19align themselves
12. 0:20but then he found out that trump needed
13. 0:22his support because of their connection
14. 0:24with roger stone
15. 0:25and then he became a trump guy and in
16. 0:27those years a lot of stuff happened to
17. 0:29them i guess we probably shouldn't skip
18. 0:30over the
19. 0:31sandy hook stuff no they think about it
20. 0:34um so
21. 0:34sandy hook 2012 2012
22. 0:38and he was like the very next day
23. 0:41i tuned into a show because i was i i
24. 0:44was shuddering to hear like the route
25. 0:46that he was going to go with it but
26. 0:47again that's like
27. 0:49time out yeah real quick you've been an
28. 0:51alex jones listener for
29. 0:53well over a decade then yeah yeah i paid
30. 0:55attention to him i think
31. 0:56starting in like 2006 2007 and that's
32. 1:01wild to me because i i don't think i
33. 1:03have had that a reoccurring
34. 1:06character in my life for that long other
35. 1:08than like family and friends
36. 1:10so it's it's intriguing to me that you
37. 1:12have been that
38. 1:14um i don't say invested
39. 1:18but if you you've been following him for
40. 1:20that long
41. 1:21and you're and you're not necessarily
42. 1:23following because you
43. 1:26agree with him you're just intrigued by
44. 1:28him i'm fascinating by
45. 1:30fascinated by him as an individual and
46. 1:31when you put it that way
47. 1:33i'm like holy [ __ ] like i've been
48. 1:35listening to alex jones on the radio
49. 1:37you stalk him like yeah i'm a stalker if
50. 1:40i was alex jones i'd be creeped out by
51. 1:41me i
52. 1:42i've been listening to him for longer
53. 1:43than i had a dog like yes he is
54. 1:46my relationship with alex jones is a top
55. 1:49four
56. 1:50length relationship in my life which is
57. 1:53very that's that's pretty cool i've
58. 1:55lived a pretty excellent life
59. 1:57uh he i've i hardly ever agree with
60. 2:00anything that he says about
61. 2:02anything uh but he's always just been
62. 2:04like a fascinating dude
63. 2:06to me like somebody that he's he appears
64. 2:08to be
65. 2:09this confident in all these theories
66. 2:11that he's got and
67. 2:12uh but i i was like there were times
68. 2:14that i haven't listened to i haven't
69. 2:16really listened to for the last couple
70. 2:17years
71. 2:17he's gotten boring like that's the worst
72. 2:20like if you're not a trump fan uh
73. 2:22and you're an alex jones fan you
74. 2:24probably abandoned
75. 2:25alex jones because he just became like
76. 2:28kind of a mainstream-ish guy
77. 2:30where now he's like you know he's
78. 2:33involved in the government whereas
79. 2:34before it was all him like trying to
80. 2:36take on the government and take it out
81. 2:38and uh but i have gone through periods
82. 2:40where i stopped listening to him like
83. 2:41after sandy hook it was tough like i
84. 2:43didn't want to listen to him anymore
85. 2:44because it was
86. 2:45at that point it became very obvious
87. 2:47what he was doing which is uh
88. 2:50he was what's the psychology i do want
89. 2:53you to finish that but i'm intrigued by
90. 2:55the psychology
91. 2:56of uh cause like i do it for i'll follow
92. 2:59a lot of like right-wing
93. 3:00talking heads on twitter or whatever the
94. 3:03case may be on youtube right
95. 3:04just to get another perspective but for
96. 3:08like
97. 3:0810 years i'm unsure if i have that
98. 3:10resolve like what's the psychology
99. 3:12behind you
100. 3:13being so loyal a listener yeah well
101. 3:17i mean we've had billy on the show for
102. 3:18four years so like i can deal with a lot
103. 3:20of shitty takes
104. 3:22my brain is equipped to handle it
105. 3:25no but we they were talking about this a
106. 3:27lot when rush limbaugh died
107. 3:29that people who listen to the radio are
108. 3:32usually alone in a car
109. 3:34usually very you know not they're just
110. 3:37not
111. 3:37socially activated so during these times
112. 3:40where they're alone
113. 3:41they're letting all this information
114. 3:43stream to their head and look
115. 3:44as you know before i started working for
116. 3:46part of my take and i
117. 3:48listened to part of my take three days a
118. 3:49week on the way to school
119. 3:51i felt like i knew pft in big cat
120. 3:54before i ever met them and you have this
121. 3:57connection to them and it's weird
122. 3:59like you think they're your friends
123. 4:01because you know
124. 4:02you've had so many conversations with
125. 4:05them
126. 4:05but you're just listening to it so they
127. 4:08become
128. 4:09a friend of sorts which causes loyalty
129. 4:12which causes you know gullibility and
130. 4:16naivety to believe what they're saying
131. 4:18it's a very
132. 4:19powerful sort of relationship that you
133. 4:21see with joe rogan especially
134. 4:23i love serious billy serious abilities
135. 4:24quickly become one of my favorite people
136. 4:26you're not wrong
137. 4:27but it's just it's interesting to see
138. 4:29you like bill you flip a switch man
139. 4:31this is this is book smart billy coming
140. 4:33out now
141. 4:34i like it maybe next time you can be in
142. 4:36the studio for this but yeah uh
143. 4:38he's he does have a point which is
144. 4:41here's what billy's point
145. 4:42boils down to is i had a job and so i
146. 4:44commuted
147. 4:45so yes billy's right like it would be in
148. 4:48my car
149. 4:49i think i just boiled that down to the
150. 4:52essentialness of this
151. 4:53of what you're saying there billy which
152. 4:54is like i was in my car
153. 4:56for an hour a day and uh alex jones
154. 4:59would be on the radio during that hour
155. 5:01and so i could either listen to him or
156. 5:03listen to
157. 5:04like tom petty radio again on the only
158. 5:07classic rock station in town you know
159. 5:09like do i want to do
160. 5:10lead before bed or do i want to turn on
161. 5:12alex jones on my way back and listen to
162. 5:14him just ranting about something
163. 5:16ridiculous so
164. 5:17i also haven't been listening to him
165. 5:18that much uh in the last
166. 5:21four to five years since i've been up
167. 5:22here because i'm just i don't have the
