I watched some of the Alex Jones "interview" on Pool. AJ just isn't a good interview because people want to interrupt nonstop and fact check every little point. But someone in the comments said that Michael Malice apparently tells Tim, "I have to sit you down off the air and talk to you, seriously" in the episode. Probably won't go anywhere. Don't care. Trump won.
Taking a counter point here: Fact checking Alex Jones makes Alex Jones better too. 80% of what Alex says ends up being true, often verifiably. The other 20% is him going off on a riff that is said in complete seriousness despite intended to be a gross exaggeration, or him just mixing up a crucial fact because he’s flying by the seat of his pants at Mach 3. There is little to distinguish the two, which is why Alex has his tin foil hat reputation. Alex Jones is his own worst enemy and needs someone to keep him grounded because otherwise he’s off in outer space most of the time. It also wouldn’t be hard for him to not do things like call for Bill Gates to be in front of a firing squad and repeatedly saying he’s Satan—though in Jones’ defense, he also said he might be Jesus. Giving people facts on Bill Gates is enough to turn people off from him and anything he’s involved in, and is far more damning.
People like Rogan and Tim, despite their faults, are doing their best to give Alex a broader audience. This, unfortunately, does require him to remain somewhat more grounded and not make himself an easy target by calling for violence. I love the guy, but he’s his own worst enemy.
