Deep dives
Alphi Oaks demands emergency meeting with Ron DeSantis
Alphi Oaks, the owner of a mask-free grocery store in Florida, went on Alex's show to demand an emergency meeting with Governor Ron DeSantis. Oaks wants to discuss alleged election fraud and claims that if the 2022 election is stolen, it will be "gun time." He urges viewers to flood DeSantis' office with emails and texts to pressure him into meeting with Oaks and claims that after a two-hour meeting, DeSantis will realize the amount of fraud that occurred in Florida.
Alex reiterates false claims about Army vaccine study
Alex continues to misreport on an alleged study by Reuters, claiming that it shows a higher rate of heart inflammation and heart attacks in vaccinated military members. However, the actual study involved only 23 cases of heart inflammation among 436,000 military members, and all patients had recovered or were recovering from myocarditis. Alex uses this misrepresentation to further his narrative that vaccines are dangerous.
Alphi Oaks supports Michael Lindell
Alphi Oaks, the owner of a mask-free grocery store in Florida, expresses his support for Michael Lindell and believes most of what Lindell says. He accuses mainstream media of making Lindell seem like a conspiracy theorist and calls for a state to verify Lindell's claims of election fraud. Oaks also demands an emergency meeting with Governor Ron DeSantis, stating that if the 2022 election is stolen, it will be "gun time."
Alex criticizes body cams on police officers
Contradicting his previous stance on police accountability, Alex argues against body cams on police officers, claiming they strip officers of discretion and turn them into robots.
