Release Date: October 6, 2025
Hosts: Dan & Jordan

Overview

In this episode, Dan and Jordan check in on the latest from The Alex Jones Show, focusing on events from October 3, 2025. They dissect Infowars’ ongoing financial/bankruptcy saga, Alex’s launch of a new app, his pivots on war and politics, and how all of this fits into the slow decline of his career and media empire. This is a shorter, moodier episode with plenty of critical analysis, gallows humor, and a recurring motif of legacy, martyrdom, and the inability of Alex or his imitators to go out in a blaze of glory.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Podcaster Banter & Series Tone ([00:12] – [07:53])

• Dan and Jordan riff about TV (MacGyver), the strange evolution of countries, 80s hero tropes, and the transactional nature of pop culture (Taylor Swift’s new album).
• Quote from Jordan:
  “He solves the chemical plot and rejects a ride out…so he can stay and help these people. He’s a great guy.” [02:31]

2. Alex Jones – Cognitive Dissonance and the Show’s Decline ([07:53] – [12:32])

• Dan and Jordan reflect on the difficulty of taking Alex’s pronouncements seriously: he’s now supporting actions (sending troops to cities, war posturing) that contradict his supposed anti-government, anti-war identity.
• Jordan sums up the inflection point for Alex:
  “His existence as an entity is somewhat invalidated by his actions.” [10:42]

3. Infowars’ Bankruptcy & Legal Theater ([12:32] – [17:00])

• Jordan explains the latest bankruptcy maneuvers: Free Speech Systems (Infowars’ parent) may revert to Alex by default because no buyers are willing to bid in the auction, but this doesn’t shield the business from future state court actions. It's a loss of options for Jones but not an existential threat because he's already prepping backup business fronts.
• Dan notes the dark legal significance:
  “This should be studied in law schools…look at the holes in our system that we allowed this mouse to run through.” [15:02]
• Both agree: legal diminishment is real, but it’s not a “barrel and suspenders” moment.

4. Bragging About Influence—Detached From Reality ([17:00] – [22:10])

• Alex Jones claims:
  “We’re number one. We’re bigger than Rogan, bigger than Tucker, bigger than everything. We’re number one again.” [17:35]
• Jordan and Dan quickly debunk this with actual numbers—InfoWars is dwarfed by both Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan in terms of audience.
• The podcast compares Jones’ delusional self-promotion to late-stage dictatorship propaganda:
  “I feel, borderline, like last days of a narco dictatorship...the king is in the castle just being like, ‘We’re gonna be rich forever.’” [20:20]
• Jordan:
  “If you watch [InfoWars] and you can nod along with him, you’re so deep you have no idea how deep you are.” [20:58]

5. Glorifying War: Venezuela as the New Enemy ([22:18] – [27:08])

• Alex uncritically supports Trump’s escalation with Venezuela, using drug smuggling/fentanyl as the pretext for invasion.
• He claims:
  “I can tell you that Thomas Jefferson would invade Venezuela.” [23:22]
• Dan and Jordan highlight the contradiction: Alex is justifying another offensive war using the same logic as “deep state” maneuvers he’s historically opposed.
• Dan:
  “Now I want, like, an escalating cooking machine…Give him a ‘what if’ scenario, and listen to him talk himself into it.” [24:26]
• Jordan:
  “I find him to be a clown…Even based on…his own scheme.” [25:24]

6. The Infowars App: Survival, Marketing, and Delusions of Grandeur ([27:49] – [34:07])

• Alex and Infowars launch the AJN (Alex Jones Network) app, described as “#2 in the world,” though it only briefly trends in the Apple News category.
• Chase Geyser, Infowars’ new business guy, is praised for his hustle and app design.
• Dan and Jordan reveal the truth: the app is a basic sales tool, not a platform for news, and popularity is inflated by quick pushes from a shrinking core audience.
  “If you’re under 100,000 downloads…that’s not what Infowars presents itself to be…It’s just a sales pitch.” [47:53]
• The “shadowban” narrative is invoked as a marketing ploy.

7. Paranoia about ‘Soros’ Judges & Antifa ([35:06] – [44:52])

• Alex spins conspiracy about his judges (“literal antifa judge…blue hair, antifa uniform”), doubling down on culture war paranoia.
• Dan skewers the logic:
  “I want Elon Musk to buy the government for me. Right. That’s not good.” [37:04]
• The hosts highlight the self-defeating contradictions in Alex’s narrative.

8. Gut Instinct as Truth & the End of ‘Documented’ Conservatism ([44:52] – [54:48])

• Alex launches into a riff about gut instinct trumping facts. He references military/police shooting and “race memory,” vaguely justifying errors as survival mechanisms.
• Jordan:
  “This is all just the same shit conservative pundits…said in the early 2000s. When you can’t win on logic, make it about ‘the gut.’” [42:09]
• Dan and Jordan critique the abandonment of facts and analysis for vibes—a fundamental shift in right-wing rhetoric.

9. War, Opiates, and Selective Outrage ([54:55] – [59:56])

• Chase Geyser tries to justify war in Venezuela as a response to a “literal invasion”—comparing overdoses to wartime casualties.
• Jordan notes the hypocrisy:
  “Would Alex and Chase support using the military to take out the Sacklers? …Is it ethical to lie about what you’re doing to lure people towards supporting ethnic purity?” [57:50]
• War talk is reduced to culture-war racism and sloganeering.

10. Selling Martyrdom: The Last Stand Super Sale ([60:24] – end])

• The app launch coincides with an “insane” buy-one-get-one-free supplement sale, marketed as the “Last Stand Super Sale”—framed as the modern Alamo.
• Jordan:
  “The story only works because those dudes died. Their death allows them to be used as symbols…You can’t be turned into a martyr unless you’re willing to do your part in the story.” [62:16]
• Dan and Jordan note that Alex’s continued hustle means he’ll never be a mythic martyr, just a “dipshit trying to get attention.”
• They reflect on history, legacy, and the inevitable decline of the Alex Jones mythos as his audience erodes and his cultural relevance fades:
  • “He’s greedy and won’t go away, so he can’t be turned into the martyr.” [66:53]
  • “We’re barreling towards the denouement…but it’s gonna be such a bad, boring denouement…it’s gonna be a dud.” [70:26]

Notable Quotes & Moments (w/ Timestamps)

• On Alex’s self-delusion:
  “We’re number one again. And you just have to understand…when you’re in the pole position, it’s a very dangerous position…” – Alex Jones [17:35]

• On failing legacy:
  “He can’t die Bill Cooper. He will never have that end to his legacy that I think is ultimately what he needs. He lusts after being Colonel Travis.” – Jordan [62:39]

• On the collapse of Infowars as a mythic entity:
  “The Alamo is never going to go down, because…you’ve already played this game for years…It’s the boy who cried Colonel Travis in a way—and he’s never going to live that down.” – Jordan [63:29]

• On war rhetoric:
  “He’s just in favor of it now…I don’t understand how this is any different than any of his conspiracies.” – Jordan [24:18]

• On legacy and martyrdom:
  “If he just disappears after January 6th…then he’ll live on as a mysterious figure…now it’s just kinda like, yeah.” – Jordan [34:07]

• On gut thinking replacing ‘facts’:
  “All your instincts, all your life, all your experience, all your genetics, the spirit, everything is who you are…that first gut level thing is really always right.” – Alex Jones [39:52]

  • Dan & Jordan skewer this as the ultimate abandonment of critical thinking.

• On App manipulation:
  “Literally every comedian you’ve ever met can say they had an album that was number one on iTunes…You can usually manipulate some statistics around it that’ll give you a little feather you can wear in your cap.” – Jordan [29:56]

Conclusion

Dan and Jordan frame this episode as a key chapter in Alex Jones’ “falling action”—the slow slide out of cultural relevance and myth, driven by self-preservation, self-delusion, and a dwindling audience still being sold a revolution (and some supplements). Alex’s legacy—once an emblem of outsider dissidence—is now inextricably tied to grifts, failed martyrdom, and business tactics no more meaningful than app store rankings. The tone is one of faint exasperation, dry humor, and resigned fascination with the coda of America’s most infamous conspiracy salesman.
