You know the super prick Alex Jones. That's where prick two Nick Fuentes comes in. An American prick gallery for you:

How Right-Wing Radio Stoked Anger Before the Capitol Siege
[...]
Mr. Limbaugh’s program is distributed by Premiere Networks, a division of the radio conglomerate iHeartMedia, which is also the force behind Mr. Beck, Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Hannity’s shows. Cumulus Media, another conglomerate, produces Mr. Bongino and Mr. Levin.

Like other hosts who depend on a corporate paycheck, Mr. Limbaugh often hedges before his language goes too far. Later in the Dec. 16 episode, when a caller urged a march on Washington on Jan. 6, Mr. Limbaugh said, “I have mixed emotions about it” and suggested that electoral wins would be more effective.

This type of push-and-pull — stoking listeners’ anger, then pulling back and disavowing the more extreme views voiced by callers — is typical of corporate right-wing radio hosts, whose success relies on provocation but whose multimillion-dollar paychecks depend on staying within the bounds of their publicly traded distributors.

On Dec. 9, Mr. Limbaugh declared, “I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” before beating a retreat on the next day’s show. “I am not advocating it, have not advocated it, never have advocated it, and probably wouldn’t,” he said. He later accused liberals of using “force and intimidation and bullying tactics to get people who disagree with them to shut up.”

Mr. Hannity, on his Dec. 18 radio show, said of the election: “There’s no doubt this was stolen. No doubt whatsoever.” But he balked on Jan. 5, when a caller named Kim referred to Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of Michigan, as “Governor Hitler.”

“Easy, now,” Mr. Hannity said. “When you make those references, everyone says, ‘Hannity allowed someone to make a Nazi comparison!’”

The caller laughed and said, “‘Whit-ler,’ I said. ‘Whit-ler.’ I’m sorry.”

“OK, I misheard you,” Mr. Hannity replied.

The most incendiary language surfaced outside the mainstream of conservative talk, on fringier fare that commands listeners despite smaller distribution. In late December, on “The Alex Jones Show” — produced by the conspiracy theory site Infowars and carried by about 85 stations — the pro-Trump commentator Nick Fuentes called for Trump supporters to “occupy the Capitol.” []my Fuentes emphasis

“We’re only getting angrier and angrier, and pretty soon that’s going to metastasize in ways that the elites don’t like,” he added.

In the immediate aftermath of the Capitol riot, radio executives seemed to acknowledge concerns about a possible link between the violence and the shows.

Hope your next rodeo has as many horses than humans. Barred cells suck.

PS: iHeartMedia

Use of paid actors posing as callers
iHeartMedia, through its subsidiary, Premiere Radio Networks, auditions and hires actors to call in to talk radio shows and pose as listeners in order to provide shows, carried by iHeartMedia and other broadcasters, with planned content in the form of stories and opinions. The custom caller service provided by Premiere Radio assures its clients they won't hear the same actor's voice for at least two months in order to appear authentic to listeners who might otherwise catch on.[202]

Even much of their radio content is a con. Just another example of right-wing
fraud foisted upon that segment of society needy enough to listen to them.
