Yes, this actually happened. A shout out to reader Tom, who reminded me of this video, which I haven’t seen in over 15 years. It entertained me to no ends.
Controversial political commentator Alex Jones’ podcast interview with director David Lynch has been unearthed. In it, they talk about their conspiratorial doubts about 9/11 and the possible universal solutions to the problems we face as humanity.
Clearly, based on this interview, Jones doesn’t watch Lynch’s movies and doesn’t understand who he is, which makes it all the more amusing. They also both talk past each other for about an hour and nothing gets accomplished. So, they settle in tackling their mutual agreement that 9/11 was an inside job.
You might not have known this, but Lynch is a 9/11 truther. He was on Jones’ Infowars in 2007 to talk about his crackpot ideas which, to nobody’s surprise, fit perfectly with Alex Jones’ theories.
In the past, Lynch and Jones have promoted “Loose Change,” a documentary that presented a radical thesis: “What if September 11th—the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil, was not the work of 19 jihadi terrorists?
Lynch is a lot of things, but he isn't a political partisan. Over the years, he’s voted for Ronald Reagan, Bernie Sanders and Gary Johnson.
In 2017, Lynch got some heat when he claimed that President Trump “would go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much [..] No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.”
He later claimed that the comments had been taken out of context, but that didn’t stop Trump from proclaiming that, because of the comments, Lynch’s career in Hollywood was canceled, “over.” A few months later, Lynch released “Twin Peaks: The Return.”
