Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born: February 11, 1974) is an American radio and talk show host. He's best known for being the founder of InfoWars.com, where he discusses events occurring in the United States Government and the ruling class.
Infowars has hosted multiple right-wing personalities who had their start at the company, such as Owen Shroyer, Kaitlin Bennett, Savanah Hernandez and Millie Weaver.
Jones has become notorious for his support of 2016 presidential candidate, Donald Trump, and discussing conspiracies surrounding the September 11 attacks of 2001 and the Sandy Hook school shooting. He's also become infamous for his erratic and unstable personality and rambles. Donald Trump appeared on his show in 2015 and called him after winning the election to thank him for his support. He also communicated with Trump as president for a few months into his term, but that connection was cut by the White House Chief of Staff.
History[]
Andrew Tate appeared on his show in December 2021. Joe Rogan also appeared on the show in December 2020, and Ye appeared in December 2022.
In 2018, Alex was sued by Sandy Hook families, after he accused them of being crisis actors. He was then ordered to pay over 1.2 billion dollars in damages, and his social media accounts were deleted.
YouTube Channel[]
Jones created his YouTube channel, The Alex Jones Channel on February 12, 2008, which uploaded clips from his online shows, multiple times a day. The channel eventually reached about 2.4 million subscribers and 1.6 billion views, but it was terminated on August 6, 2018, for hate speech and harassment.

David Blaine, now he was a guy who was a magician and shit, fuck that. Magicians aren't real. So fuck him and no, he did not do a magic trick on me to make him say his name when I meant to say brain."
- "EmpLemon is an American hero. He talked about how Trump won by the use of memes. I watched that video and laughed my ass off at how Donald Trump used memes to win the election. Now speaking of memes, here's a new meme for you guys. (Talks in high pitched voice) Holy jeezus! (2 second Pause) Holy jeezus! (2 second Pause) Jeezus got me feeling so memey! (2 second Pause) Holy jeezus! (2 second Pause) Holy jeezus! (2 second Pause) Jeezus got me licking some pants! (Back to normal voice) See, it's so easy to make a meme. Be sure to make that a meme. That's gonna be a hit meme."
- "My favorite video game? Well son, it sure as hell is not Super Monkey Ball. Super Monkey Ball is too hard and has arcade style structure. Arcades are quarter munchers! Arcades have no good game design. The best game design comes from games like The Last of Us which are more like movies than games. Truth is, games are for those freaks who play basketball and can shoot a ball miles away. Now that is just a waste of time and a useless skill to learn. You are not going to bring any praxis to this world if you just play basketball and learn how to shoot a ball miles away. Even if it was a spiky ball, you probably wouldn't even know how to use that.as a weapon. The spikes would add extra weight, and I doubt those basketball players could actually know how to calculate the weight and shoot the ball with the extra weight removed. Useless skill that has no praxis."
