Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson Interview Introduction
Tucker Carlson introduces Alex Jones as a figure defined by the hatred of the American ruling class. Carlson recounts his initial skepticism of Jones following the events of September 11, 2001, but describes how a personal meeting in Austin, Texas, changed his perspective. The segment sets the stage for an interview focused on Jones's history of public predictions and his status as a heavily censored media figure.

00:00 We're here with the world's most dangerous man, the most censored man in the English language. But honestly when you get him in front of an outhouse in the woods he doesn't seem so dangerous. It's a fancy outhouse! We have a ruling class in the United States defined by its hatreds not it loves not its hopes but by its hatreds. They hate all kinds of people, large groups of people—the deplorables the bitter clingers America's entire blue-collar population the unfashionable people they're hated by the people who run our country. But no one is hated more by them than a man called Alex Jones. Alex Jones is the single most censored man in all American history, he was the first media figure in our history to be completely erased and one day de-platformed. Alex Jones was de-platformed before it was a common term and not just de-platformed sued attacked they attempted to criminally charge him what did Alex Jones do wrong?
01:05 Alex Jones didn't rape anybody. He didn't loot Macy's, he didn't burn a police station, he didn't invent a fake cryptocurrency and loot pension funds, he didn't start a pointless war that made this country poorer and more disorganized, he didn't open the southern border... No! Alex Jones had opinions that deeply rattled the people who run America in fact rattled a lot of us and I'll just confess that i first heard of Alex Jones when he questioned the official story behind 9-11. And I, speaking for myself was deeply offended by this. I didn't take any time to find out what he was saying but i was bothered by the idea that this defining event in American history which changed the life of everyone who lived here then might not actually have unfolded as we were told it did and that possibility was too destabilizing and I remember feeling resentment toward Alex Jones for saying that
01:59 But several years later I wound up in Austin, Texas and through a chain of circumstances wound up meeting Alex Jones. And I learned what everyone who has met him now knows which is Alex Jones is not a crazy person. Alex Jones has said pretty far out things on TV from time to time – not that far out he hasn't said men can become women or Ukraine as a democracy but within the bounds of say cable news pretty far out But fundamentally, Alex Jones is right about a lot of things. And in fact that's why they don't like him. Alex Jones has an uncanny really an amazing ability to predict events before they happen he has called it and he's done it on tape again and again to the point where it's a meme on the internet. Alex Jones profit not conspiracy nut profit but when you dig into Alex Jones' predictions they are so spot-on
02:51 then it's remarkable. How does he do this? We're guessing there is a kind of spiritual sensitivity to Alex Jones, maybe that is his secret. He was displaying this years before the average person in this country even thought about matters like that now its pretty obvious to most people that the current war going on in this country is taking place in ways you can't see it most of the time but 10 year ago people were not thinking that way, Alex Jones was And so we thought it'd be interesting to sit down and talk to Alex Jones, the man. He joins us now in our studio. Alex Jones thank you! Wow Tucker it's great to be here amazing studios amazing I mean and amazing people and this is really going to be a historic interview So thanks for having me Well I'm really grateful to be able to do it It's one of the great blessings of my life and of my job Is that I've been able to meet people
03:40 That I've had preconceptions about and sometimes find those preconceptions Bolstered and in other cases demolished, and you're definitely in the second category So I want for people who have made it this far You know the people who are in the country have really succeeded in making you disreputable And the whole point, of course is people won't listen to you. So we thought it'd be interesting to start with a series of on tape predictions that you made some which are so precise and so prescient that it makes the hair in my arms stand up and I'm being sincere and our viewers are about to see what I'm talking about here is a list of things that you called ahead of time
