Nobody is neutral on Alex Jones. He’s either loved or hated. He’s either a villain or a hero. But underneath the labels, who is he really? In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Glenn asks Alex the questions “people never ask.” A native Texan, Alex admits that after 50 years, he’s much more introspective. In his youth, puberty turned him from a “bookworm to a hellion,” and his fighting streak landed him in a juvenile detention center. Alex fills in the details of the little-known stories between his childhood and the infamous moment he snuck into the Bohemian Grove to document its eerie “cremation of care” ceremony, which Alex describes as a “little like an art festival” but also “cultic.” Alex’s family's involvement in what he describes as “clandestine stuff” inspired a curiosity about the “corporate dinosaur deep state" that led to a skepticism that has defined his career, including his controversial questioning of 9/11. In a vulnerable discussion about his regrets, Alex admits to a period of time after Trump began his run for president when he was drunk on his show “at least once a week,” and he reveals if he would have considered any penalty fair in the Sandy Hook defamation case. Is Alex Jones a hero or a villain? In the end, you’ll have to decide for yourself. Sponsors Relief Factor Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!
