- Walking into Alex Jones's green room, which felt weirdly like a government building.
- Alex Jones is one guy who has built a following that dwarfs mainstream media news outlets.
- There's a dark energy in the studio—everyone talks about being in a war and on the edge of something terrible.
- Two little kids eating Chick-fil-A in the break room, which could have been hilarious if they'd gone on air ranting about MK-ULTRA.
- Alex Jones doesn't really get comedy but he's the funniest guy ever.
- Alex claimed Michelle Wolf bragged about killing her baby and made her feel strong, forcing Tim to fact-check him mid-interview.
- Alex insisted off-air that there's no such thing as copyright and people can play whatever they want.
- Tim agrees Alex isn't wrong that a small group of elites controls the world, but the network's focus has become explicitly political rather than conspiratorial.
- Trump is a statement that the system isn't working, emerging after decades of government corruption that sold out the middle class.
- Alex kept calling Tim Ed McMahon because he wasn't talking much during the show.
- Between every break, Tim and his co-host turned to each other asking how much fun this was—it was a thrill of a lifetime.
