In what he described as an “emergency broadcast” on Saturday, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed that his far-right news company, Infowars’, studios in Austin, Texas, might be shut down by federal authorities soon.
“This is going to be Infowars’ last show, because I learned yesterday that they were going to padlock the door and kick us out last night,” Jones said while on Infowars on Saturday.
On the same day, Friday, May 31, the news outlet published an article saying it might be shut down in 48 hours.
Newsweek contacted Infowars by email on Sunday morning for comment and any evidence of the alleged attempt to shut down the company’s studios.
Jones said that he spotted “guards looking at me weird” at the entrance of the Infowars building and believed that his company was going to be shut down.
Basically, the entire studio has been repossessed, has guards around the perimeter.
You can currently find clips of him breaking down and crying on twitter, and the whole broadcast is viewable on rumble, but I don’t have an x account nor am I going to post a rumble link.
He played out the end of the broadcast with, of course, ‘My Way’ by Sinatra.
Imagine if this was all a lie for him to sunset Infowars and return in another format/show/angle
I heard it’s because they have a child sex ring they’re running out of the basement there.
Thanks, now I’m craving pizza.
I have also heard this. From many different people.
Would actually make so much sense. He’s obsessed with paedophiles.
Not only have people, many people, told me this, but also that they are also harvesting the blood of the children.
That’s what I’m hearing. People are saying.
I have never heard him deny it.
I was watching the freak outs on Twitter last night and being like, if the ‘feds’ were really coming to shut you down, you’d be off the air already or we’d see it go down. He probably got a letter or something saying it’s a possibility and everything else was over exaggerated and in his head.
If it happens, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving show.
I really wanted to like KnowledgeFight, because taking the piss out of InfoWars is gold. But one of the hosts of KF seems to be maybe slightly deaf or something? He yells every single word and it’s just like way too irritating.
Is there another podcast out there that tackles InfoWars but maybe at a volume made for human consumption?
I know what you mean but it’s not that grating as you make it out to be, honestly. Maybe you caught an especially wild episode, but he (Jordan) has calmed down a lot over the years. It’s the only podcast doing a deep dive on InfoWars that I know of and I cannot imagine anyone else taking on this job anytime soon.
Could also be your podcast app - I use Pocket Casts and it has a balancer which evens out badly mixed podcasts i.e. takes down the peaks and lifts up the quiet parts. Works really well.
And nothing of value was lost.
This made the rounds yesterday, but the only source was Jones himself, and nothing appears to have happened. So, yeah, probably just drumming up cash from the rubes.
Imagine being stupid enough to give this guy money.
I think it is important to try to understand those who you don’t agree with, but I really can’t understand giving him hard earned cash.
He’s been a week away from shutting down for… a dozen years?
Like a rug shop.
I wonder how his listeners can keep hearing this same message for years?
Think of how many times you can trick a dog that trusts you before it starts to figure things out, and consider that Jones’ audience is more loyal and less intelligent than a typical dog.

Try to understand stupidity at the infinity level
Reminds me of the mattress store down the street that is always running a going out of business sale.
No no no, you misunderstood. The mattresses are going out of (the) business, because they were for sale. Going out of business, sale!
Oh, shouldn’t have that bar association logo on here either…
I lived near a furniture store for about 8 years and it was “going out of business” the whole time.
We got a good deal on a sofa from them though.
Like rabid goldfish
Like toast in the rain
like drunken dogs
in rage without reason
I could have sworn this was shut down already with the last verdict he had.
Good riddance…
Good.
… Should I buy a bottle of champagne?
If he says that, it’s not true. Easy 100% probability with Alex.
