ALEX JONES (HOST): They'll do anything to stay in power. So they invoke the crisis, they tell people these are Nazis, they tell them they're illegitimate, they tell them they're criminals, they tell them they're — they should be arrested but we're not going to do it, but you go out and fight them. All these people show up with guns in Austin, in Dallas, in San Antonio, I see it where I live, in New York, in the cities in Florida, in Illinois, in Minnesota, everywhere. 

And you've only got a few Border Patrol and ICE that have been killed and only three citizens killed so far, two in the last three weeks. I am really surprised that it's that low.

And we can spend all day showing the new video of the guy getting shot yesterday, and we now have the HD of it, and it's clear that they thought he had another gun and a bunch of stuff fell on the ground and they got scared, said gun, gun when they got his other gun and shot him. But they're not gonna go to jail for it because they didn't do it on purpose. They thought they were in danger and he came with a gun and stuck himself in the middle of a riot. 

That's like — I-35 is a few miles from here. People are driving 85 miles an hour on it, and if I just stood on the side of the road and just ran out in front of cars. Somebody hits me, it's, it's, it's not their fault. And it turns out this nurse, seems like a nice guy who got killed. His family with, the messages are public, told him don't do this, don't, don't do this, be smart. I mean, I would not get anywhere near that. 

Like I said, I've been driving through neighborhoods before and seen a SWAT team and a bunch of police in the house. I don't just run up and start screaming at them. I mean, that's just really dangerous, folks.
