Charlie, you had a fascinating last 10, 11 days of your life following the Alex Jones trial down in Austin, Texas.

I did. Welcome to the broadcast. Thanks for having me. How in the world are you? Are you making out okay with Alex being that close to Alex for 10 days? Yeah, you know, it was honestly, everything about the last 10 days has been incredibly surreal, but also really illuminating in a way that, you know, I almost, I don't know if I expected to be honest. Really? Yeah, I think, I think, you know, the reason why myself and a gaggle of other reports are,

orders kind of showed up was really around this premise of Alex's lawyers hinted at a defense of his custody of his three children under the under the sort of guys that everything he's done in his professional career has been pull right that tire and we should I just a quick reminder that this was a custody battle that the jury came back uh Thursday night late with the verdict and it was a custody battle to do with their three kids and Alex had custody but he was had he had they had joint I'm sorry they both had joint custody but Alex had control and was able to divvy out the time that the wife got to see the kids and so right right so then this trial was for her to a get full custody or joint custody with her having control of the kids correct and the judge ruled on the second of that

granting her joint custody with the ability to dictate residents. And this is going to be, you know, before we get to the trial, I mean, I saw one of her posts, one of the feeds after the trial where she talked about parental alienation syndrome. I mean, if that's the case, I mean, if you actually believe that, and we've seen it, you know, I mean, I do kind of believe it. um the uh you know it's going to be tough because out the other the parent who's had the kids has just driven the other parent right into the ground they didn't even want anything to do with her right you know the the whole sort of um one of the main premises of this was that uh i i mean

a as most of these custody things are you know they are both yeah they don't like each very nasty and and also in a way, you know, very sort of ordinary in the sense that, you know, you're dealing with sort of like the general issues of, you know, of parents and their kids and the conflicts and, you know, the alliances and grievances. So it, but, but yeah, the parental alienation sort of charge against Alex was, was really kind of born out, sort of without saying so of, you know, his personality that we know in his public life. Right. And that leads us right. And that leads us right back into what they were going to do, how they were going to defend Alex for this trial. Right. Yeah. And so his legal team's

defense was this performance art, political satire defense, or that's sort of what they foreshadowed right at the start of the trial. And so that's really what led, think a lot of the media, the national media attention. You know, I, I came down and didn't really expect it to sort of blow up as big as it did in terms of interest from the national media. But I think what the alluring question here was, was can, you know, can we sort of under oath get to see a separation of Alex Jones the person and Alex Jones, the professional? And how much of this stuff does he really believe?

yeah because i mean for a long time having been a having been a fan of alex and i say fan not really a fan but more as a looking at him as a side show um that uh you know he would i mean his belief was this is me that me and so for him to have to say in court that it wasn't him i mean that puts a big cringe on his business yeah there was this real um it was sort of a a situation that if unless you were trying to, you know, settle a dispute over, over your, the custody of your children, you'd probably never find yourself in a situation where you would have to, where you'd have to, you know, argue that your career was based on something different. But I think that he, you know, that line sort of really disappeared after the first couple days of the trial.

Alex sort of issued a very full-throated defense of Info Wars and what he does. He claimed 95% of it was hard news and that about 5% is this satire, which the media cherry picks and uses to dismiss him as a lunatic as a far-fringe figure. And I can say as someone who, for my job, has to watch a lot of Info Wars. I don't know if I agree with that character. I certainly don't. I'll guarantee you that. But he got lucky with the judge taking away the merging of InfoWars and himself, right?

I mean, she made that split that they couldn't use in court. Info Wars had to be separate and Alex was separate. So he kind of, in my estimation, I mean, he got lucky because he didn't have to make that statement then. He was able to say all the time, hey, InfoWars is completely separate. So, you know, it's real. Let me alone. It was honestly, I think, a really big shock to some of the legal professionals involved. And a lot of people who reached out to me in, you know, who were lawyers who dealt with family custody cases, not related to this sort of saying,

it's almost unheard of for someone's professional life to be taken out of context in a custody trial. I mean, that's the whole point, right? I mean, the point is, is that you're unable to care for the children because you do this. Right. And I think that, you know, it's not even, I understand with the initial impulse of, you know, you want to leave politics out of it. you don't want to say that, you know, so-and-so has these, these, you know, views about who should be an elected official. And, you know, if you're a Trump supporter or if you're a Bernie supporter, that means, you know, you deserve X amount of hours with your kids. That's a, that's a, you know,

a very sort of hairy and sticky proposition, which the judge rightly wanted to, um, to keep out of. But I think the general exclusion of almost anything having to relate to InfoWars under the justification that it's a political show really strips away a lot of what you can learn about and level at Alex. He's somebody who, if you spend a lot of time, watching him, you see he broadcasts, you know, videos from home or while he's driving in the car, he sort of, you know, he doesn't have that nine to five work life balance that, you know, some people might have. His work in his life are very much intertwined. And look, in today's world, and, you know, somebody will say, no, that's not right, but I believe in today's world, if you're in the media, you know, the evil media,

it is that way. Now, it isn't go to the office and sit down at the desk and say, good evening. It's six o'clock, time for the news. That just isn't a person's life anymore. Absolutely. And, you know, he has made a real name for himself over the past two decades being somebody who has sort of this monomaniacal obsession. Yep.

And 24-7 with it. that's right yeah and info wars you know has that sort of um this is going to sound wrong for them but it has that sort of CNN sort of cable news feel with you know the high production value the constant you know updates the always going live I mean that's what they were that's what they were going for whether you know just just never mind the stories or whether you believe it or not I mean that's what they wanted that 24-7 feel and we're here for you 24-7 around the globe. I mean, that's the deal. That's his life. It's really, it was really, it was hard for me to understand that as well. And I am in no way, you know, I only pretend to be an attorney. I'm not

even, I'm close to me. So what's your biggest? So they, they, besides that, we talked to the, I saw some quotes from, you had an opportunity to talk to a couple of jurors. Yeah, yeah. We caught up with them last night outside the courthouse, just, just a few. And their sense, the way that I got was that InfoWars really wasn't a factor in this trial. In the sense of, you know, the judge got her wish, the court got its wish. And it was unclear how many of the jurors going in knew of him. The one juror I spoke with said it was a, you know, a roughly equal split of people who were somewhat familiar and not. But that deliberations really actually took so long.

It was a nine and a half hour deliberation, which is abnormal for this kind of case. It took so long actually because they both, the jury thought that both parents were actually pretty adequate guardians, and they wanted to make sure that they got that right. So it's really, there's a real disconnect that I noticed between sort of the narrative that had to play out inside the courtroom and what would happen when you would grab your phone and check on Twitter or see, you know, what people were commenting on outside. It was a real, it was a real split. Alex is sort of this villain out in the world, and in the courtroom he was presented as

this dad who was, you know, devoted and perhaps, you know, a little colorful. A little colorful, but he's providing for his family and he was a good dad. Yeah. And, you know, look, do I want to give them the benefit of the doubt? No. But, you know, it is possible, I guess. You know, I think that these things are very, I think that they're very complicated. And I think that, you know, it's actually a very, it's a dicey thing to delve into somebody's family matters in this way.

But I think at the end of the day, there really was actually a bit of, the trial proved instructive to people who wanted to know more about him. And especially to know more about whether he's the man that he is on camera when he's off camera. I think that we actually saw people who stuck it out with me for the full nine days really saw that he maintains a lot of the same characteristics. when the cameras aren't rolling that he has on air. Oh, my gosh. Which leads you to believe that it isn't a show. Charlie Worsel from BuzzFeed, who covered the Alex Jones trial. Charlie down in Austin the last nine or ten days covering the Jones trial.

What was your, I mean, that's a fascinating takeaway. When the judge said that, you know, we're going to distinguish between no info, and Alex away from Info Wars. Well, I mean, during the trial, he was posting stuff on InfoWars, which was going against the gag order, right? Yeah, so, you know, the press was kept kind of in the dark on that to some degree. We did get some snippets if you were leading close enough to the lawyers when they had to approach the bench talking about it. Okay.

It appeared that sort of in the first, you know, the real media storm around this hit on the night before the trial when the Austin statesman, the one of local papers here, sort of broke the story that his lawyers were going to, you know, use this. Right, use this defense. This performance art defense. Right. So, you know, then the sort of, you know, Stephen Colbert ran with it and sort of, you know, he became sort of like the butt of the internet and TV,

night TV jokes. So, you know, Alex is someone who, when he's in the news, he has to respond. He has almost, you know, a, it's like breathing for him. And I think that, you know, initially he put out a couple of, or I know he put out two initial videos calling, you know, the claims outrageous and saying it was a media attempt to discredit him and that he is who he is and, you know, I'm 100% real baby. and I think that he was admonished for that. And so those videos kind of took a different turn.

They stopped being about the trial necessarily and, you know, mentioning custody of his kids and sort of focused more on, I'm Alex Jones. You know, I'm a target. It's all on me. One of the things that came from this trial that I found very fascinating was the profitability of Alex Jones's company. More people involved with this damn info wars and making millions of dollars,

I'm doing it wrong. I don't know about you, Charlie. I mean, maybe you're doing it right, but with Alex Jones and the wife and the mom and dad are all making millions for selling tree bark supplements, I'm doing it wrong. Conspiracy is good business, I think, is one thing that we learned here. You know, there was, I believe at one point there was a report of, you know, roughly $40,000 a month or something to that degree, something very, very high being paid to his ex-wife.

Plus he gave her, I think, in the initial divorce, there was reported that he gave her a $3 million on top, three or $4 million on top of that, right? Yeah, and a few numbers, a few numbers trickled out, including, At one point, Alex's parents both testified on his behalf and mentioned that the quote-unquote family business, which is a great way, I think, to refer to Info Wars. Yeah, no kidding. The family business netted them a couple of million of dollars, millions of dollars. And that's just, you know, his parents. I think his father has some stake in the business.

But it does sort of speak to the sort of. you know, InfoWars' finances aren't public, and he plays those things pretty close to the vest. But it needs to sort of these glimmers of insight into... Yeah, I mean, I know I get the plan. I mean, I get the plan. All the, you know, all the product that advertises on his radio, TV, internet, and website is all his product.

And so that product, you know, it just rolls back into the company. I got the plan. I'm just doing it wrong, and I feel like an idiot. There's still time. There's still time to start hawking the supplements, I think. Dad, is that you? Charlie Worsell from Buzzfeed. All right, Charlie.

Alex is back to be in Alex Jones, and he can pretend once in a while that he's really bummed that he didn't, he doesn't have the joint, he doesn't have his kids. The wife tells him when and when he can't have the kids. But he'll be able to eat, you know, as much chili as he wants and forget how old the kids are, whatever he wants, which was a great piece from that.

It was a very surreal moment to hear somebody claim that their short-term memory had been erased by some five-alarm chili. Right. It was certainly, we were kind of agape in the mouth agape in the courtroom when we heard that. Not sure if it was something that we'd misheard, and it turns out to be true. Yeah. Was it now when in the courtroom, I mean, he had talked about that in a deposition, right? You didn't remember what, how old his kids were or whatever.

And then who asked him about it in the courtroom? One of the attorney. Right. Okay. That's what I thought. Yeah. Started the one of the attorneys was a sort of a fierce cross-examiner. And the real sort of drama came from.

I believe his charge was to sort of throw Alex off of his game and sort of to rile him up. And then he started the Alex's cross-examination asking him, he didn't have any chili this morning, did you, sir? And Alex shot back. Was that a joke? And then the attorney sort of went into the deposition anecdote. And it really sort of, it started him off on a note, a very surreal sort of ridiculous note. and it only kind of increased from there.

All right, Charlie Worsel from BuzzFeed, so what's next on your agenda? Whose trial you're going to sit through now? Well, you know, I'm not a court reporter. Get out of here. What? And it was incredibly fascinating. I don't know if I'll be sitting through any more trials

in the very near future. But, you know, I've, at BuzzFeed, we've always kind of been, you know, one of our, sort of hallmarks is being on the on the sort of the cutting edge of new sort of internet movements and and I've I've spent the last probably six or so months you know really kind of digging into the rise of sort of new pro-Trump media and and the figures and the personalities there and and and the you know the the financials and the relationship with the White House and I think that you know, that's one of the sort of biggest stories of 2017 right now.

There's no doubt about that. But listen, I mean, I mean, our president said just the other day that he didn't realize that the, you know, the job was going to be so hard. So, you know, it's good he's at the helm. Anyway. It is a pretty wild interview there. Charlie, thank you for coming on that. I appreciate it.

I know it's Saturday. I'm eating up some of your time. You had a busy last nine or ten days and you want to get some rest. So Charlie Worsel from BuzzFeed at C.Worzel on Twitter. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

The Jeff Fisher Show is on. That it is. Welcome to it. Thank you so much for Charlie Worslow for stopping by and talking to little Alex Jones. It was good to talk to him, and we got some little inside information. about Alex Jones that was fascinating. We also, a little bit later on in the program, we'll air a little bit of the Alex Jones post-trial press conference which had some fascinating information.

Next week on this broadcast, I am excited. Next week, we're going to be broadcasting from the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby. I am excited about going to the Kentucky Derby. I had an opportunity to say yes or no, and when I said something to my wife, my wife is like, oh, you're going. Apparently she's in love with going to the Kentucky Derby

and wearing the hats and sipping mint julep. So fun we will have at the Kentucky Derby broadcasting live next week right here on the Blaze Radio. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. Jeff Fisher. 888-903.33 is the phone number. Coming up immediately after this broadcast, Lawrence Jones.

then Mike Slater, then Joe Pags, all rounding out your Saturday and brand new spanking programming on the Blaze Radio Network. Thanks for coming along for the ride. And then, of course, Sunday, you've got David Barton, Bill Handle, Jackie D. Then Monday through Friday, Doc Thompson, Gled Beck. Who's the other guy that comes? Oh, yeah, Michael Pelka, and then Chris Salcedo, and then Pat and Stu. Oh, yeah.

And then Buck Sexton ends the evening. 9 to Midnight Central on the Blaze Radio Network. You know, you wonder about how robots are going to affect your lives. Well, in Spokane, Washington, harvesting Washington state's vast fruit orchards requires thousands of farm workers. Thousands of farm workers. Where do they come from? Oh, I know. Other countries.

They're illegally working in the United States. What? Well, now they have robot pickers. The robot pickers are going to be working 20. They don't get tired either. And I will say that, no, I better not say that. The robot pickers don't get tired. They work 24-7.

And that is what's coming around the corner for you illegal aliens and for Americans that just won't do the work. Now, that having been said, that was going to come around the corner anyway, Even if you were an American that said, hey, I'll pick apples, I'll pick oranges, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it. No thanks. We have a robot here that won't get tired and continue to do it for 24 hours a day and just pick them, okay? So have a nice day. We will need someone to pull the weeds in a couple of weeks.

Stop back. But these robotic pickers are what's coming. This is Washington State. When I lived in Florida, same thing. a lot of times the workers who most of the time are less than legal here in the United States, they just travel from place to place around the country when it's harvest time. So you go up north, up to the northeast, and you pick blueberries, and then you come back into the Midwest and you pick whatever is harvesting,

and you go back out on the West Coast and you do that. But now, no need for that. Robot Pickers. And so maybe, maybe, especially with the lack we, I talked to someone here in Dallas Ford Worth in the Metroplex that his father's company, he has a landscaping company, and they had to cut customers, cut customers after the first of the year because so many of his workers who were less than legal did not come back from Mexico. Mexico. So, I mean, he did not have the workers to do the work, which, you know, proves the rhetoric is working, but it also is taking a little bit of bite out of crime and it takes a little bit of bite out of capitalism for businesses around America.

So even in any state, Washington, Maine, or Florida will feel the effects of that. and soon to be, you'll be driving by those fields and those orchards and you'll be seeing the robot pickers. Fun, fun, fun, fun. And speaking of Florida, Chuckinflora.com is on the broadcast. Hello, Chuck. Greetings from Florida, Jeffie, where I am sporting my brand new Talking Walking Dead t-shirt. Nice.

Yes, and I'm tweeting out a picture right after the show. It somehow didn't upload, but I've got it. I'm the man today. I is, we didn't give that to you for free, did we? Are you kidding me? Okay, good. Man. No, in fact, I hate to complain on the air, but it took quite a while to get here.

Yeah, I have a story about that, and there were some issues. For those of you that had to wait, I want to say, I apologize. I appreciate you. I didn't apologize to you. I was talking to the other people. I'm sorry. There was an issue between financing and a T-shirt. people. Oh, you ran out of money. I get it. Okay. It's kind of a

posse scheme that we're running on these t-shirts. Right, right. And so, and I don't know the whole story. I just know that the lady who takes care of the t-shirts said that she had become frustrated. I, I questioned why she was frustrated in an email, and then she wasn't frustrated anymore. So, she unloaded on you, huh? I mean, I got, I got, amazingly, not long after the email, there was funds to purchase the T-shirts. Very nice. So, it was just a mix-up.

It was just a mix-up. It was an awesome graphic on the front of the teacher. It was just a mix-up. And the graphic was actually, you know, my wife did that. I got to give her a prize for that. The real Mrs. Jeffie did that graphic, yes. Yes. Yes, she loves it.

She was happy with it. She did a great job. I showed my wife, and she was like, wow, kudos to Amber. That was awesome. Well, listen, and I want to be sure that you realize now. I mean, you might not know this yet, but that's not real blood. What? I know.

I know. I want a refund. I'm just saying, I spent long hours working on zombies last weekend, and again, this afternoon, we got more zombies. For what? Did you hear about the contest? What are you working on? Did you hear about it? Tell me the contest.

It's a Florida story. Does that help? Just tell me the contest. Okay, the contest. BMW had somehow acquired Darrell Dixon's bike and we had a contest in Florida to see what filmmaker could make the best

BMW Walking Dead commercial. What? It was a fun day. You had a bunch of volunteer filmmakers and actors show up and get made up as zombies. We poured blood all over everybody and we shot a commercial. It was awesome. And we might win a bike.

If I get the bike. I'm taking pictures. Just saying I'll send you pictures. That's the best I can do. When do you find out if you want? This evening, as a matter of fact, we're going to Sarasota, BMW for BimmerCon is the hashtag, and we will be displaying our video. It's on Facebook and YouTube today if you do the hashtag B-I-M-M-E-R-C-O-N. And yeah, I'm pretty proud because we had probably one of the best teams I've ever worked with, and they all volunteered an entire Saturday. That's a problem right there.

This whole volunteer thing is starting to piss me off. Well, come on. That's supposed to volunteer thing. We're not exactly paying filmmakers down here. That's a good point. Yeah. So I have some other interesting Florida news if you should be interested. I might be in a minute, but let me, I'd like to ask you a couple more questions about your stupid thing, but your stupid BeamerCon thing.

So have you seen any of the other ads? Shall we say the. competition was light. Really? Yeah. So are you throwing down the gauntlet saying you're going to win? Not not kind of like doing a neener-neener in your face thing, but oh yeah, we got some really good ballie thumb on our side. And Chuck of Florida.com.

You know, the other guys did nice. They put forth an effort, you know, I'm not going to bad mouth them much. Wow. So what do you win if you win? We win a 40,000 value. at $40,000 actually walking dead shown and ridden by Daryl Dixon, his old bike. They're going to give you the bike? We are getting the bike, yeah, if we would.

Look, that's where Daryl's butt was. That's exciting. You think I could charge people to sit on the bike where his butt was? Yes, I was butt to butt with Dixon. You can hashtag that butt to butt. Make it a butt. Daryl Dixon. That's just what I needed on my Facebook and Twitter feed. There you go. It's all you. You're welcome. I'm here. I'm here for you. Yeah, so what do you got for me?

So today, one of my new favorite stories I just found as I was coming on the air, catch a Florida Python win a T-shirt. Really? You know, just so people realize the Python is not native to Florida. these dumb butts who go out there and get this massive snake as a pet, they usually buy it when it's a cute little baby, and they put it in an aquarium, and they feed it mice, and they think it's cool,

and then it's 15 feet long, and they don't what the hell to do with it. So they set it free. And it's just pervasive, especially in the Everglades and the swamp lands. So Florida Wildlife Commission has, for the last, oh, several years, sent out people on a python hunt. Python hunt. They do that with Gators, too.

Yeah, but they actually licensed the guys with gators and they sell, you know, the tags and so forth. But you kind of love Florida. Florida, Fish and Wildlife Commission has announced Monday that it's launching the Python pickup program in which anybody who captures a python in the wild can simply submit a photo of the snake he or she caught in order to win. I think I just got a sign. I think I just got a sign. I'm sorry. I don't need to cut a sign. I just got a sign that I could actually win something today. While I'm talking to you, I look up at the television screen and there's Burt Reynolds, telling me that I have an opportunity to win a fully restored 1977 Bandit Trans Am.

And I mean, come on, that's a sign, right? That is totally a sign. It's a 2017 Bandit Dream giveaway. And there's Bert. And Bert, I know is your hero. and I mean with you on the air talking to me and I see Bert Reynolds on the screen I mean that's a sign

and he's going to give you an autographed hat he's going to autograph the bandit I mean those to sign right I can win do we have to submit a video or something can we use the same one the Daryl Dixon but one sure why not

I'm sorry I cut you're so mad at the you were so mad at the the Python people no I think it's a great contest you know every every amateur snake catcher gets a Python pickup t-shirt and has entered in drawings for prizes that include snake hooks, custom engraved Yeti tumblers, Plano Sportsman Trunks, Go-Pro cameras, and Badlands Backpacks, according to a news release.

That's kind of cool. Plus, the next month, you have a chance at winning a $100 gas card. I mean, come on, gas is gas, right? And when you're running around in the Everglades, you get the truck. So I get the stuff after I get the Python? That's what I said. You need that stuff before you get the python. If you're going to give me a snake hook, you know.

And a GoPro. Right. It would be sensible if you equipped your teams with this stuff. But no, anybody can enter. Says, where was it? The quote here was he contended that it would be smarter for anyone who spots a Python to call the Wildlife Agency hotline and let a professional catch it. And it's possible that might be a smart move.

Yeah, this is a Bill Booth, who is a Brandon-based Python hunter, who was featured in National Geographic said, I'm pretty shocked that they would allow somebody to do something like this. Are you, Bill? Bill's only shocked because they're taking business away from him. Right, right, and they doesn't have the wild geographic team out there chasing him and showing how he picks up snakes. That's great.

So I see a headline earlier this week about something that I'm very familiar with. And that is xylophones? First time ever, a defendant has been charged in connection with a xylophone rage incident. This is pretty fascinating. Do you know about xylophones? I'm very familiar. I actually played percussion in high school and got to tinkle the ivories there. And, okay, well, maybe more like wood.

But they were, yeah, they were xylophones abounding. and according to investigators Floridian April and Carcyon 43 was collared earlier this month on domestic battery after police responded to a residence in Fort Walton Beach where she had taken a

pot of grease and poured it on the male victim now luckily this was cold grease that she dumped on him but yeah I was thinking this is going to get really nasty but no yeah the victim had wet spots

on his t-shirt and shorts and there was a puddle of liquid in the ground and that was it. She poured a bucket of cold grease on him? And apparently she went to deal with $3,000 bond and confessed to the attack, but she was also

outstanding on a contest plea of felony charges of battery on a police officer. So she threw cold grease on this guy for what again? He wouldn't stop playing the xylophone and she asked him twice. I mean, you know, what are you going to do? You've been told, I told you again, now you get the bucket.

I asked nicely, you didn't do it. I'm asking one more time, you didn't do it. I'm going to pour a bucket of cold grease on you. Who has a bucket of cold grease just laying around? I'm wondering. Oh, I mean, everyone does. That's what you cook with. In Florida, if you have bacon grease now, that's, you know, good for making biscuits.

it's good for the pan. Whatever you have it for, it's just handy to have around. And for those of you that have buckets of grease on your stove or in your kitchen, don't get caught pouring it down the drain outside on the street. The drain is on the side of the street. Man, they get mad when you do that. You didn't get like find or anything for that, did you? They get mad when you do that.
