ALEX JONES (HOST): And I don't know if he's on such a confidence trip. But he's had a lot of success and been through a lot that he thinks he's invincible, and that we will all just go, okay.

But there's a taunting to it. I'm like, oh, look, he makes the point that they could have altered the file. That's exactly what they do. They've done it to me. They've done it to him. Absolutely. Wow. That makes a lot of sense. Wow, Lara Trump says they're gonna make it right and, you know, release whatever they can. Great, great. Let's move on. No. My constituents are bad for asking questions, the majority of them. So you know what, Trump?

I'm glad the Democrats aren't in, and I'm — and I like a lot of the success you're having and we're all having together.

And your statements about, you know, you people that bring this up don't even deserve to be involved in this movement. You are excommunicado. You are, you are henceforth ex cathedra from the mouth of the god-king. You are expelled from the church of the holy golden toad, Donald John Trump.

Well, I was never in the church of the holy golden toad. I do like you being a maverick standing up with the country. We have the same enemies. I respect your stamina and courage. Been a big cheerleader when I agree with what you're doing.

But if I'm being excommunicated, let me be clear. I was never in your church to be excommunicated. So you can't excommunicate me because I was never in your church. I was never in a cult. And I never said MAGA was a cult. I said a lot of people want it to be a cult.

...

But now, Trump, if this continues down this line, if he starts saying I'll excommunicate people, well — you're not allowed, unless it's a cult, to say to people, you either agree with everything I do and don't question things or you're not in our club. I don't want you. Well, that kinda sounds like a thoroughbred cult to me. And if I keep hearing more talk like that, I'm just — it's basically where I'm already at. And I already said this.

I'm gonna give Trump report cards. It's basically what I already did, but we're officially gonna start doing it on basic issues. 

...

And so, I'm not gonna be emotionally invested in this because I've never been a joiner. I pride myself and then I'm the captain of my ship, and people support what I do or believe what, you know, a lot of what I'm doing is right, then you support us.

But when somebody starts saying don't question things or you can't be in our club? Yeah, that's a cult. And I'm not a cult joiner. I never have been. You know, my operation is not a cult. My crew is not a cult.
