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!     Visit https://ReliefFactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF to save on your first order.        PreBorn    By introducing an expecting mother to her unborn baby through a free ultrasound, PreBorn doubles the chances that she will choose life.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
