Alex Jones’s Podcasting Hecklers Face Their Foil’s Downward Slide

Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes turned their Infowars-skewering podcast into a business. In the post-Trump era, they’re documenting Mr. Jones’s reckoning.

CHICAGO — Last year, Alex Jones supplied conspiratorial content to the leader of the free world. This month, he was shamed by a nun. The Infowars impresario and his camera crew had accosted a man escorting three Latino children and their mothers to a Catholic Charities relief center in McAllen, Texas, on the border with Mexico. “We know you’re smuggling these kids!” Mr. Jones yelled. Sister Norma Pimentel, the executive director of Catholic Charities in the Rio Grande Valley, then castigated Mr. Jones in a statement for “interrupting the good will of someone providing assistance in the form of transportation for three mothers and their children.” For Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes, the latest contretemps was fodder for something else: Episode No. 547. The former stand-up comedians mock Mr. Jones for a living on their podcast, Knowledge Fight, but with the end of the Trump era, the duo wonder how long his conspiratorial carrying on can remain interesting, much less culturally relevant.
