Deep dives
Colorado Supreme Court disqualifies Trump from 2024 ballot
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled to disqualify Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars individuals who have participated in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office. The ruling follows a trial where evidence was presented that Trump engaged in the January 6th insurrection. While some argue that a conviction is necessary for disqualification, historical precedents of civil actions and court cases show otherwise. The decision has faced backlash and threats, but it is important to distinguish this legal judgment from arbitrary disqualifications by authoritarian regimes in other countries.
US involvement in foreign election cases
Alex wrongly claims US hypocrisy based on examples of US sanctions and involvement in foreign election cases. Alex cites Venezuela, Cambodia, Belarus, and Zimbabwe as examples where he contends the US government has banned or disqualified political opponents. However, these examples cited are either misrepresented or lack context. Each country has unique circumstances and it is misleading to equate these situations with the recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling. It is crucial to recognize that while challenges to electoral integrity exist, they are not synonymous across different countries and legal systems.
Misleading comparison and flawed argumentation
Alex attempts to draw comparisons between the Colorado Supreme Court ruling and unrelated cases, falsely implying a pattern of political disqualification as a result of US intervention. However, his examples lack cogency and do not support his argument. It is important to analyze each case individually and not conflate different contexts and legal frameworks. Drawing false equivalences only serve to obfuscate the distinct circumstances of each situation.
Alex Jones's false assertions and questionable sources
Alex relies on questionable sources, including tweets and partial headlines, to support his claims. By cherry-picking examples and misrepresenting situations, he creates a misleading narrative about US government involvement in disqualifying political opponents. It is crucial to critically evaluate and fact-check sources to ensure a comprehensive and accurate understanding of complex political situations.

Potential future events and implications
Roger Stone speculates that there could be another pandemic or a terrorist attack on American soil, which could be real or possibly a false flag operation. He also highlights the influence of oligarchs on the Supreme Court and the potential consequences of their decisions.
Preemptive damage control and narratives
Alex Jones discusses the potential for globalist false flags and how such events may be used to control the narrative in the event of right-wing terrorism, aiming to create narratives that distance the globalists from any responsibility.
In this installment, Dan and Jordan check in to see how Alex covered the news about the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that Trump can't be on the GOP primary ballot. His analysis is as reasoned and insightful as you imagine it would be.
