I have looked at the real research on Ivermectin. And as @davidpakman states, in the larger scale randomized tests, there was no evidence it was effective against covid:

Futher, in direct contradiction with Alex Jones statement, ivermectin's claim to fame is not as an antiviral (although there has been research into its use as such) but is instead used to fight parasitic diseases.
This paper discusses the study that probably prompted most of the belief in ivermectin as a treatment for covid-19:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539925/
Recently, Caly et al. reported on the antiviral activity of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 [9]. These authors demonstrated that a single dose of ivermectin was able to reduce the replication of an Australian isolate of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero/hSLAM cells by 5000-fold. This finding has generated great interest and excitement among physicians, researchers and public health authorities around the world. However, these results should be interpreted with caution. Firstly, it is important to note that the drug was only tested in vitro using a single line of monkey kidney cells engineered to express human signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM), also known as CDw150, which is a receptor for the measles virus [10]. Also, ivermectin has not been tested in any pulmonary cell lines, which are critical for SARS-CoV-2 in humans [11]. Furthermore, these authors did not show whether the reduction seen in RNA levels of SARS-CoV-2 following treatment with ivermectin would indeed lead to decreased infectious virus titers. Importantly, the drug concentration used in the study (5 μM) to block SARS-CoV-2 was 35-fold higher than the one approved by the FDA for treatment of parasitic diseases, which raises concerns about its efficacy in humans using the FDA approved dose in clinical trials [12].
And as detailed in my first link, there's no statistical evidence for its effectiveness when it was tested in randomized trials to avoid bias.
Finally, it is hard to deny that Alex Jones is way over the deep end in this clip. And anyone listening to him for medical advice is well on their way as well.
And its also awesome how he claims Joe Rogan is brilliant because he has made a lot of money. Many people have worked out how to profit from other people's foolishness. This doesn't make them brilliant (or even above average intelligence), often it just means they have no morals.
