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.
Really? Asking Alex Jones for … evidence, of something, anything? You’re kidding, right?
I’m sure he’s got the documents around here somewhere.
Incidentally, there’s a rumor that Alex Jones had to stop broadcasting on short notice because he became suddenly ill on mic. May well be that his ticker is what’s quitting on him and not the Feds finally dropping the hammer.
