Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones began to cry in his Information wars show this week, claiming that federal authorities were trying to shut down his show.
Jones, 50, was seen openly crying on his show as he claimed, without any evidence, that the “Deep State” were trying to shut him down after federal agents allegedly received “secret federal files” that alleged he was committing crimes that were turned over to the Department of Justice.
He claimed he had to sleep on the show Dallas studio the night before to prevent it from being padlocked, hours before the web version of its network, in an article, stated the same.
“I love this team,” Jones said about 15 minutes into the final hour of the X broadcast, where he called members of the unspecified federal agencies allegedly pursuing him “pussies” and “holes.”
“I’m so upset,” he said, starting to sob. “I’m trying to cry like a fake thing, but I’m sick of these people,” he added.
“All we’re trying to do is save America, and they’re fucking us over and over again.
“And it’s so sick – it’s sick, it’s sick. I want to leave – because it’s going to end, guys.”
He went on to say he would “come back bigger than ever,” before adding, “But my baby, I’m watching them rape you.”
It is unclear which federal agency Jones was referring to or whether Jones’ accusations are true. The Independent contacted the FBI and the Department of Justice for comment.
Fuck Alex Jones. Anyone who supports this piece of shit after what he did to the parents of the Sandy Hook victims is subhuman trash. He lost the trial, he can’t pay the courts – he hasn’t paid a penny to the families. Let it rot.

As of Monday morning, Infowars appeared to still be operating and no reports of federal agents near the studio facilities had been received, although Jones said News week that he saw “guards looking at me strangely” at the entrance to the Infowars building in downtown Dallas and believed his company would be shut down.
Meanwhile, in an X post over the weekend, Jones appeared to admit he wasn’t sure if the closure was actually happening.
“There is a 50% chance this is happening now,” Jones wrote on X.
“They want us to close because in the bankruptcy and what was happening we have a path with the judge to continue for years, and the judge signaled that.
“Different groups involved in the soon-to-be-exposed bankruptcy literally made a move to close this place down and shut down my show.”
Jones was previously sued by the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims for promoting a false theory that the massacre was a hoax, with a judge ordering him to pay $1.5 billion to the families.
The decision led Jones to file for bankruptcy and so far he has not paid any part of the sum after telling his audience last year that he was “officially broke”.
Meanwhile, Jones has faced criticism in the past for playing an expanded version of himself, not just on air but in public, with the right-wing conspiracy theorist’s lawyers previously claiming he is a “performance artist” who is just “playing ”. a character” on his show Infowars.
“He’s playing a character,” his lawyer, Randall Wilhite, said at a pretrial hearing where Jones’ ex-girlfriend, Kelly Jones, tried — successfully — to gain custody of their three children. “He’s a performance artist.”
Kelly was granted custody of the children after citing her husband’s “unstable” character and possibly illegal comments.
