Comedian Eric Andre Crashes a Pro-Trump Alex Jones Rally, Only a Little Violence Ensues
Andre to Jones: 'I want you to have sex with my wife.'


Infowars' Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist and radio host, addressed a pro-Trump crowd at a park just outside the Republican National Convention today. The event became even weirder—if that were possible—after comedian Eric Andre showed up to troll and was invited by Jones to come on stage.
The crowd was not particularly friendly to Andre—someone shoved him forcefully before he could make it to the stage. But Andre wasn't very friendly either. When Jones gave him an opportunity to speak, Andre quipped, "I want you to have sex with my wife" and "Why does my peeppee come out yellow?"
Jones then accused Andre of trying to be shocking—an accurate charge, though a bit hypocritical coming from a man who just asserted that the globalists were launching a program of control over American citizens.
"The globalists want to say our veterans, our police, our patriots are the number one enemy," said Jones, earlier during his speech. "That shows you, this is an obvious outside globalists force. Of course they would come here and say our veterans and police are the enemy. Because they are the enemy."
The most entertaining moment of the Jones/Andre encounter has to do with 9/11, of course.
Andre: "Jet fuel can't melt steal beams. Who put the bombs in tower seven?"
Jones: "Well, I've exposed all that. You've said something legitimate."
It was a nutty, mostly harmless event hosted by Citizens for Trump. The police presence was staggering: At least 20 cops were on hand to make sure things didn't get out of control.
Jones, who is very pro-Trump, was followed by Roger Stone. Reason's Anthony Fisher interviewed Stone earlier. Read that here.
Watch my Facebook Live feed of the Jones speech below. Andre shows up around the 6:30 mark.

sarcasm? can't tell. My sarcasm meter broke a few H&R post ago.
I'm never not the opposite of unserious.
That's the guy who painted all those flowers that looked like vaginas, right?
They were vaginas that look like flowers, you sicko.
Thank God, a return to sanity in the midst of an insane primary.
DAMN SON YOU SHOWED THEM HOW ITS DONE
Move over Andy Kaufman, Eric Andre is on the case, speaking truth to...not power really, but a crazy guy! Take that, crazy guy! HA!
Serious note, I like how the modern definition of 'speaking truth to power' has changed. It now seems to mean asking the State to do what it's already doing, but a lot harder.
That will change if Donald Trump is elected. Then the masses will be all about speaking truth to power, unless it involves their pet issues, and in that case then the state is okie dokie.
I think "power" simply means white man now.
And in 24 hours: "Eric Andre DESTROYS crazy Alex Jones."
Let's all get solemn here.
Which one is Alex Jones?
The attention seeking douchebag.
*slow clap*
Well, that narrows it down.
You'll have to be more specific.
Is that Soave in the green shirt at around the 6:15 mark?
You dare to ask whether someone with hair that pedestrian is Robby Soave? For SHAME, Fist. For SHAME.
My screen is low rez.
'Andre quipped, "I want you to have sex with my wife," and "why does my peeppee come out yellow?"'
''quip: kwip, verb, 1. make a witty remark."
Typo Soave. Not sure what word you meant to put there, but "quipped" was clearly not what you meant.
You can't expect Robby to actually know what words mean, this isn't Vox.
Vox knows what words mean? I'M SO CONFUSED!!
Vox writers say whatever random shit sounds good in their twee little heads at the moment. Vox readers repeat it incessantly until this becomes the new definition. It may be wrong - linguistically, logically, spiritually and physically - but help us all, this is the new definition.
/not really, but yeah
"Blurted", perhaps?
No, no, no... It's funny because Andre isn't married and his urine is actually plaid.
Sug-Knight....are you giving us a preview of your next novel fan-fic story?
[plays coy]
:chuckles:
Well, my good man, just keep the "Plaid Urine" in mind for whatever you cook up next. That is comedy gold.
Also, I hope AC is able to incorporate it, as well.
Is plaid urine above or below blood in urine on the oh shit scale?
It's somewhere between brown urine and poop coming out of your nipples.
I'm mean, at least that's what WebMD Japan says.
One man's wit is another man's baby-talk potty humor.
He's big with the Blue's Clues set.
I'm sure I'd be awed by how clever this guy is, if I bothered to RTFA.
GENIUS!
Be more funnier, alleged comedian guy.
I had to google him and I still don't know who he is.
He has the mediocre quality style of a Daily Show correspondent. I was surprised to find out he isn't one.
Isn't he better known as Andre the Giant?
Stupid TV!
Great, now I'm having Stephen Leacock flashbacks.
Be more funnier, alleged comedian guy.
I didn't recognize him by name. Once I saw his face I remembered that he seemed like he flunked out of the Jeff Ross School Of Comedy.
Be more funnier, alleged comedian guy.
THEM'S FER TROOMP, HAW HAW HAW!
Please, meteor gods, put them out of my misery.
This probably speaks to my age and taste in entertainment but... Jones being pro Trump is the most shocking part of this whole thing (to me, anyways).
I had him for a Kasich kind of guy.
At first I was confused, but then again Trump is pretty good at pissing off the establishment, and I can Jones supporting anyone who pisses of the establishment.
Shared interests: Both are obsessed with conspiracies, both think they are being "silenced," both have a power base among truckers doing speed.
Jones is all over the place. I got one of those apocalyptic newspapers from a Nation of Islam guy at a traffic light, and it had Alex Jones in it being interviewed by Louis Farrakhan. Fun fact: they agree on a lot of stuff!
Nation of Islam pamphlets are just amazing entertainment. My favourite was one I got from a guy in Ottawa that claimed that UFOs were secret projects by the American government to re-introduce slavery somehow.
I don't know. Chick tracts still have 'em beat all hollow for unintentional comedy.
He's changed quite a bit over the years. It would seem subtle to those who didn't listen to him in the early days, but it's pretty dramatic actually.
Why didn't reason livestream this instead?
Intellectual property laws.
Intellectual property...IP...why does my pee come out yellow...Yellow Peril...Trump's building a wall...Great Wall of Chy-na...
Oh my God.
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED.
Not an Alex Jones fan but this guy is a tool
I get it. I get jokes.
There's an insane person (among many) on the subway who's entire crazy shtick is to argue into his phone about not being paid for work that he did. I've been a captive audience to his performance three times on my commute. His worth to society is infinitely more valuable than any performance by Eric Andre.
The crowd was not particularly friendly to Andre?someone shoved him forcefully before he could make it to the stage. But Andre wasn't very friendly either. When Jones gave him an opportunity to speak, Andre quipped, "I want you to have sex with my wife" and "Why does my peeppee come out yellow?"
Was Andre supposed to be on stage? If not, they were extremely kind to the fellow.
So, yes he was.
I thought he was invited only after he crashed the event.
The rules of hospitality do not apply until he has eaten of your meat and salt, and drunk of your wine. Until then, I mean, hey, Red Wedding away.
Red Wedding away is analogous to shoving a heckler here?
Do we not do jokes in this place anymore?
Sheesh. Super-serious, unfunny bunch of book-readers, no wonder society is falling apart.
Well, Guest Right is very serious.
(My apologies)
Eric Andre showed up to troll and was invited by Jones to come on stage.
So, no, he was assaulted. Come on, man, you can at least make it through the first paragraph.
"Come on, man, you can at least make it through the first paragraph."
You think too highly of me. Same as above, the timeline is just isn't clear.
I'm not sure if I buy the theory that property rights entitle audience members to beat up anyone who disrupts a political rally.
Agreed. I wouldn't conflate "beat up" with "shoved" and "kind" with "entitle" though.
Andre: "Jet fuel can't melt steal beams. Who put the bombs in tower seven?"
Ming The Merciless, The Emperor of the Universalists.
He melted the two towers with the same Nitron Ray that caused Hurricane Sandy.
Alex Jones? See how bad Trump is, crazy people support him!
One of the things I like about Reason is that it moves very fast. It is entertaining but it doesnt really give me time to think about things, to let it soak in. I am not the smartest guy here but I am no dummy either, I am just slow.
Earlier my wife was remarking about something Trumpy she saw on TV and it made me think about the Root article earlier.
"Trump Vows to Trash the Constitution"
No, he didn't. He didn't say anything of the sort. True, he expressed a sentiment that troubles me, but there is an awful lot of mendacity going on there. Banning Muslim immigration may be offensive to many, but not to some and it certainly isnt constitutional. Trump bumbled into trying to answer the question on it's face...a mistake.
Trump did not vow to trash the constitution. Hillary Clinton did. Overturning Citizens United, gutting the second amendment, and prosecuting climate deniers (an official plank in her party's platform) are things she is passionate about. She hasn't just vowed to trash the constitution, she is going to nuke it from orbit.
I would like to see some serious and honest criticisms of Donald Trump, not the misleading bullshit raining down on us. Why all the lying to criticize Trump? Just tell the fucking truth. That is all you have to do to make Hillary look like the evil POS she is, tell the truth about her. Why not the same for Trump. I am sick of finding myself in the position of having to attack his critics (not the same thing as supporting Trump)
"I am sick of finding myself in the position of having to attack his critics (not the same thing as supporting Trump)"
Did you even see the Trump-Pence logo? It's all one needs to prove his inadequacy.
*isnt unconstitutional
Who the fuck is Eric Andre?
An anti-comedy comic. Has (had?) a 'talk show' on adult swim. Though whenever I saw people talking about the show, it was usually in reference to Hannibal Buress as the sidekick.
Some guy with two first names who doesn't sound very funny, if that's his best material.
I frequent Alex Jones' channel, and while the conspiracy theorist affect is definitely prominent and deserving of skepticism, there are some things he gets right.
"The answer to 1984 is 1776" Well, Mr. Jones is not wrong there.
Though I have to have a certain amount of respect for someone who manages to sneak into the sausage-fest that is Bohemian Grove and get actual decent footage of it. (I mean, anything Nixon calls "The most faggoty Goddamned thing you can ever imagine" HAS to be awesome and, at least, worth some filming)
Oh God, this is so fascinating *munching on popcorn*. Damn this is totally better than that one time I watched an entire episode of Dr. Phil out of perverse curiosity because a Vietnam vet was documenting and debating all the ways his family was plotting to kill him. Oh, the excitement!
Certain narratives also end up being a pretty clever way to sell nutraceuticals 😛
Oh God and the sad frumpy trumpet calls in the background. Such ambiance! *mouth open - eyes sparkle*
Just calm down and have another cup of coffee.
Probably the two most intelligent folks at the rally.
Omarosa Named Trump's Director of African American Outreach
What position do they hold in the Klan? "Rope-handler"?
If that's not a reprint from the Onion, Trump must be Andy Kaufman.
Can you name a more respected figure in the African-American community? No? I didn't think so. Loser. Sad.
I'm laughing too hard to refute you. Point to SF.
Alex Jones is a nut. I have no use for him. I don't understand why it is okay to go to other people's rallies and show up just to fuck with them. Alex Jones is a nut but it is or at least should be a free country. He can be as big of a nut as he wants to. And I and everyone else is free to ignore him. I do not think, however, I have a right to show up uninvited at his rally just to fuck with him. Where does this shit end? What good does it do? What is the point other than to disrupt things and effectively deprive someone of the ability to have a rally?
It is absolute madness! Madness, I say!
Maybe you think it is okay to be a disruptive asshole as long as it is happening to people you don't like. I disagree. I don't Alex Smith but I don't like people doing this to him. I don't understand why you think it is so great such that you feel like you have to make some snarky comment about it. Why can't the guy have a rally in peace? Just don't go or pay any attention to him if you don't like him. It is not hard.
I don't think it is great. I think it is pretty lame. It is also not a big deal. I eagerly await the four-thousand word essay you are about to write ignoring what I just said and insisting that not only do I approve of this impotent stunt, I am calling for all rallies in all the lands to be interrupted by all the comediens.
So you don't care about the first amendment. Fine. Just say so, Crusty.
I don't like Alex Jones. I mean.
Your social signaling is comprehensively sourced, you can let it go now.
I'm sure he has the most banal of motivations, money. This is a grab for free exposure to further his career.
Probably so. That still doesn't make him any less of an asshole.
If the event is open to the public or in public, you might have a right to show up to fuck with him, depending on the location of the event and the terms of using it.
I think it is stupid and obnoxious and pointless to do so. But I also don't think there is much to be done about it.
So, we had the modern political equivalent of this, but without all the humor?
Why in the world would I want to watch this?
Wow, Cleveland sucks.
Funny how he can't seem to decide if the police and military are our enemy. They caused 9/11 but now he supports Trump even though Trump is the self-described "Most militaristic person in the room, folks, believe me." Anyway his agenda, like the woodchippers, is to 'incite' violence, or at least provide a convenient narrative for the MSM to explain some ex-military guy's rampage.
"I want you to have sex with my wife"
"No, wait, take my wife, please, no, I mean why don't I suck your...darn, can I start over, I suck at comedy."
I saw Eric Andre on my way out of the security perimeter. I kind of wanted to figure out how got a lanyard, but he seemed to be in a hurry.
It's a great relief to me that Alex Jones supports Trump.
I quit my office job and now I am getting paid 92 Dollars hourly. How? I work-over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was to try-something different. 2 years after...I can say my life is changed completely for the better! Check it out what i do...

Hillary was there?
