In case you weren't aware, Alex Jones, the
right-wing conspiracy theorist, host of Infowars,
is currently going through a pretty nasty
custody battle with his ex-wife.
According to his ex-wife in a recent hearing,
she doesn't like the fact that Alex Jones
goes on air in their own home, that's where
his studio is, says all of these crazy things
with the kids sitting right there.
The kids listen, okay?
His kids are paying attention to the dangerous,
harmful things that he is saying every single
day.
His ex-wife is furious about this.
She doesn't want her children to be brainwashed.
She doesn't want her children to grow up believing
that this is an acceptable way to behave.
Alex Jones' lawyer has assured us during this
custody hearing that Alex Jones himself doesn't
even believe the crazy things he saying.
According to Alex Jones' lawyer, this, the
guy who's hosting Infowars, this is just a
character.
That's not actually who Alex Jones is.
Alex Jones is just a normal, regular guy.
He's acting.
This is all a big act.
We've all been hoodwinked.
Alex Jones is not a crazy guy.
Now, here's the thing about this.
I don't know which is actually worse, if Alex
Jones believes in the things he says or if
he's just pretending in an effort to make
money.
Because either way, the things that he says
are dangerous.
The things that he says inspire people to
do crazy, dangerous things like take a gun
into a pizza parlor and start shooting up
the place.
That is on Alex Jones' head.
I know he's apologized for it but that means
exactly squat.
It took him several months after that gunman
went into that pizza parlor to come out and
say, "Yeah, I'm sorry.
I was wrong."
That's what Alex Jones' ex-wife is concerned
about for her children.
Because even if it all is all for show, even
if Alex Jones is the most normal, sane person
in the universe, his kids aren't seeing that
if they're watching his show.
Kids are very impressionable.
I don't have to tell anybody that.
We know this.
We know that they do get impressioned by the
things they watch, but most importantly by
their parents.
The largest role-models a child will ever
have are the parents.
When you have one parent who goes online every
single day and says that President Obama might
have been part of some kind of lizard race
or that there's a secret pizza parlor menu
where you can order child sex, those things
leave a lasting impression on your children.
Whether or not it's an act is irrelevant.
The things that Alex Jones says are dangerous
and harmful to children and that is what his
ex-wife is trying to convince the court.
Because to be honest with you, I personally
didn't even know Alex Jones had kids, but
knowing this and knowing that they've been
in that room with him while he spews this
hatred, makes me sick.
Alex Jones should not be allowed to have custody
of these children until he finally comes out,
ends this show, admits it's all an act, possibly
goes to therapy or counseling, and then maybe
he can be a good father.
But if you're out there teaching your kids
that climate change isn't real or that there's
lizard people or that chemtrails are controlling
our brains, you are too crazy to have kids.
These kids need somebody that they can look
up to.
Somebody that they can respect.
Somebody who's going to teach them right from
wrong.
Somebody smart enough to help them with their
homework.
Unfortunately, Alex Jones isn't that kind
of guy.
