Episode notes

Alex Jones: It's very hard to take that on personally. When you know it's something you're doing for the right reasons and you're getting a lot of people coming and misinterpreting it, it's very painful. But I think you have to ask yourself long term, if when you made that decision, you ultimately thought it would be better or worse for your listeners to know that conversation. And then if you can sleep with it at night, take the risk. Just try to do, at least from my perspective, the best possible thing for the world you can, take big risks.
