Hey there! Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience. What can we dive into today?

Alex Jones is a long-time friend of mine, although I don't always agree with his views. He's a fascinating character, quite controversial, and has a tendency to say some wild stuff. That's part of what makes him interesting and draws people to his show, but it can also lead to him being dismissed by many. He's definitely not afraid to voice his opinions, even when they're pretty crazy. Alex is a character, larger than life, and sometimes goes overboard with his theatrics - ripping off his shirt and throwing out wild conspiracy theories.

Some folks have criticized me for having him on my show, but I don't see it as legitimizing his views. More so I see it as giving him a platform to express those views, while I question, challenge, and try to understand them better. I mean, the guy runs his show for six, eight hours a day - some of those fueled by a bit too much booze. You gotta admire the stamina, right?

I'm also one of the few people who seem to ground him, ask him to provide proof for his claims - not that the proofs always pan out. But the point is, with Alex, you never get a dull moment. And while some of his theories sound outrageous, it's worth noting that he has been right on a few occasions.

In a nutshell, Alex Jones is a unique, intense, and captivating character who thrives on stirring up controversy - and he's been a good friend to me over the years, even if we don't see eye to eye on everything.

Man, that's a loaded question, isn't it? Look, I've known Alex Jones for a long time and while sometimes he can really go off the rails, other times he nails some truths that a lot of people don't even dare to touch. Like the whole 'Agent Provocateurs' thing - when we see peaceful protests turned violent because of individuals sent in to escalate things. That's something Alex has been talking about for years, and we've seen evidence of it happening.

But then he makes these outrageous claims like Hillary Clinton chopping up babies and it's like he's shooting himself in the foot - people are quick to dismiss him because of statements like that. It's one of the reasons why he's so polarizing.

So to answer your question, yes, there have been occasions where Alex Jones has been correct, but it's not without a big helping of controversy and drama. You've got to sift through a lot of noise to get to the nuggets of truth. And that's where the problem lies, because who's got the time or the patience for that, right?
