about it being staged,[18] adding support to Sandy Hook Elementary
School shooting conspiracy theories, and as an argument against gun

Early life
Jones was born in 1974 in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in the Dallas suburb of Rockwall and the city of Austin,
Texas. His parents were a dentist and a homemaker.[20] In his video podcasts, he reports he is of Irish,[32]
German, Welsh, mostly English, and partially Native American descent. He was a lineman on his high school's
football team and graduated from Anderson High School in Austin in 1993.[20] As a teenager, he read
conservative journalist Gary Allen's None Dare Call It Conspiracy, which had a profound influence on him and
which he calls "the easiest-to-read primer on The New World Order".[33] After high school, Jones attended
Austin Community College.[34]

Career
Jones began his career in Austin with a live, call-in format public-access cable television program.[35] In 1996,
Jones switched format to radio, hosting a show named The Final Edition on KJFK (98.9 FM).[36] Ron Paul was
running for Congress and was a guest on his show several times.[37] In his early shows, Jones frequently talked
about his belief that the United States government was behind the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing,[38] using the
incident to put down a growing "states' rights movement".[39] In 1998, he released his first film, America
Destroyed By Design.

In 1998, Jones organized a successful effort to build a new Branch Davidian church, as a memorial to those
who died during the 1993 fire that ended the government's siege of the original Branch Davidian complex near
Waco, Texas.[40] He often featured the project on his public-access television program and claimed that David
Koresh and his followers were peaceful people who were murdered by Attorney General Janet Reno and the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms during the siege.[36]

In 1999, he tied with Shannon Burke for that year's "Best Austin Talk Radio Host" poll, as voted by The Austin
Chronicle readers.[41] Later that year, he was fired from KJFK-FM for refusing to broaden his topics. His views
were making the show hard to sell to advertisers, according to the station's operations manager.[36] Jones stated:
"It was purely political, and it came down from on high ... I was told 11 weeks ago to lay off Clinton, to lay off
all these politicians, to not talk about rebuilding the church, to stop bashing the Marines, A to Z."[36] He began
spreading his show by Internet connection from his home.[38]

In early 2000, Jones was one of seven Republican candidates for state representative in Texas House District
48, an open swing district based in Austin, Texas. Jones stated that he was running "to be a watchdog on the
inside"[42] but withdrew from the race after a couple of weeks.

In July, a group of Austin Community Access Center (ACAC) programmers claimed that Jones used legal
proceedings and ACAC policy to intimidate them or get their shows thrown off the air.[43]

In 2001, his show was syndicated on approximately 100 stations.[38] After the 9/11 attack, Jones began to speak
of a conspiracy by the Bush administration as being behind the attack, which caused a number of the stations
that had previously carried him to drop his program, according to Will Bunch.[44]

On June 8, 2006, while on his way to cover a meeting of the Bilderberg Group in Ottawa, Jones was stopped
and detained at the Ottawa airport by Canadian authorities who confiscated his passport, camera equipment,
and most of his belongings. He was later allowed to enter Canada lawfully. Jones said about the reason for his
immigration hold, "I want to say, on the record, it takes two to tango. I could have handled it better."[45]

On September 8, 2007, he was arrested while protesting at 6th Avenue and 48th Street in New York City. He
was charged with operating a megaphone without a permit. Two others were also cited for disorderly conduct
when his group crashed a live television show featuring Geraldo Rivera. In an article, one of Jones' fellow
protesters said, "It was ... guerrilla information warfare."[46]
On July 6, 2017, alongside Paul Joseph Watson, Jones began hosting a contest to create the best "CNN Meme",
in which the winner would receive $20,000. The contest was created in response to CNN releasing an article
regarding a controversial Reddit user.[47][48]

On a segment of Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver stated that Jones spends "nearly a quarter" of his on-air
time promoting products sold on his website, many of which are purported solutions to medical and economic
problems claimed to be caused by the conspiracy theories described on his show. [49] [50]

Radio, websites and mail-order business

The Alex Jones Show is broadcast nationally by the Genesis
Communications Network to more than 90 AM and FM radio stations
in the United States,[51] including WWCR, a shortwave radio
station.[52] The Sunday show also airs on KLBJ. In 2010, the show Infowars.com logo
attracted around 2 million listeners each week.[53]

According to journalist Will Bunch, a senior fellow at Media Matters for America,[54][55] the show has a
demographic heavier in younger viewers than other conservative pundits due to Jones's "highly conspiratorial
tone and Web-oriented approach". Bunch has also stated that Jones "feed[s] on the deepest paranoia".[44]
According to Alexander Zaitchik of Rolling Stone magazine, in 2011 he had a larger on-line audience than
Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh combined.[56]

Jones is the operator of the web sites infowars.com and prisonplanet.com. His website, InfoWars.com, is a fake
news website.[14][15][16][17] Infowars editor-at-large is Paul Joseph Watson, who also occasionally guest hosts
or co-hosts Jones' radio program.

Consumer products

A 2017 piece for German magazine Der Spiegel by Veit Medick indicated that two-thirds of Jones' funds derive
from sales of a successful range of his own products. These products are marketed through the Infowars
website and through advertising spots on Jones' show. They include dietary supplements, toothpaste,
bulletproof vests and "brain pills", according to Medick, amid a wide range appealing to "anyone who believes
Armageddon is near".[57]

In August 2017, Californian medical company Labdoor, Inc reported on tests applied to six of Jones' dietary
supplement products. These included a product named 'Survival Shield', which was found by Labdoor to
contain only iodine, and a product named 'Oxy-Powder', which comprised a compound of magnesium oxide
and citric acid; common ingredients in dietary supplements. Labdoor indicated no evidence of prohibited or
harmful substances, but cast doubt on Infowars' marketing claims for these products, and asserted that the
quantity of the ingredients in certain products would be "too low to be appropriately effective".[58][59][60]

Views
Mainstream sources have described Jones as a conservative,[61] a conspiracy theorist[62][63][64][65] and an outlet
for pro-Russia propaganda. Jones has described himself as a libertarian[26] and a paleoconservative.[27]

Following the 2016 Republican National Convention, Jones and Roger Stone began plotting the removal of Ted
Cruz from his Senate seat in 2018 through potential challengers Katrina Pierson and Dan Patrick.[66] Jones
supports Donald Trump and has consistently denounced Hillary Clinton.[67] Jones said that Trump called him
on the day after the election to thank him for his help in the campaign.[68]

Controversies
Jones has been the center of many controversies, such as the one
surrounding his actions and statements about gun control after the Sandy
Hook Elementary School shooting. He has accused the United States
government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing[20] and the
September 11 attacks.[19] In 2009, Jones claimed that a convicted con
man's scheme to take over a long-vacant, would-be for-profit prison in
Hardin, Montana was part of a FEMA plot to detain U.S. citizens in
concentration camps.[69] Jones was in a "media crossfire" in 2011, which
included criticism by Rush Limbaugh, when the news spread that Jared
Lee Loughner, the perpetrator of the 2011 Tucson shooting, had been "a
fan" of the 9/11 conspiracy film Loose Change of which Jones had been
an executive producer.[56] During the 2016 presidential campaign,
Hillary Clinton criticized Donald Trump for his ties to Alex Jones.[70][71] Jones during a 9/11 Truth movement
In 2017 he was criticized for claiming that the Khan Shaykhun chemical event on September 11, 2007, in
attack was a hoax.[72] Manhattan

Legal action

In February 2017, the lawyers of James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong pizzeria, sent Jones a letter
demanding an apology and retraction for his role in pushing the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Under Texas law,
Jones was given a month to comply or be subject to a libel suit.[73] In March 2017, Alex Jones apologized to
Alefantis for promulgating the conspiracy theory and retracted his allegations.[74]

In April 2017, the Chobani yogurt company filed a lawsuit against Jones for his article that claims that the
companys factory in Idaho, which employs refugees, was connected to a 2016 child sexual assault and a rise in
tuberculosis cases.[75] As a result of the lawsuit, Jones issued an apology and retraction of his allegations in
May 2017.[76]

Television shows and interviews

In January 2013, Jones was invited to speak on Piers Morgan's show after promoting an online petition to
deport Morgan because of his support of gun control laws.[77] The interview turned into "a one-person
shoutfest, as Jones riffed about guns, oppressive government, the flag, his ancestors' role in Texan
independence, and what flag Morgan would have on his tights if they wrestled."[77] The event drew widespread
coverage,[77] and according to The Huffington Post, Morgan and others such as Glenn Beck "agreed that Jones
was a terrible spokesman for gun rights".[78] Jones's appearance on the show was a top trending Twitter topic
the following morning.[79]

On June 9, 2013, Jones appeared as a guest on the BBC's television show Sunday Politics, during a discussion
about conspiracy theories surrounding the Bilderberg Group meetings with presenter Andrew Neil and
journalist David Aaronovitch. A critic of such theories, Aaronovitch implied that they either do not exist or that
Jones is a part of them himself. Jones began shouting and interrupting, and Andrew Neil ended the interview,
describing Jones as "an idiot"[80] and "the worst person I've ever interviewed".[81][82] According to Neil on
Twitter, Jones was still shouting until he knew that he was off-air.[80][81]

Personal life
Jones has three children with ex-wife Kelly Jones. The couple divorced in 2015. In 2017, Kelly sought sole or
joint custody of their children due to Alex's behavior. She claimed "he's not a stable person" and "I'm concerned
that he is engaged in felonious behavior, threatening a member of Congress" (Adam Schiff). Alex's attorney
responded that "he's playing a character" and described him as a "performance artist".[83][84] In court, Jones
denied playing a character and called his show "the most bona fide, hard-core, real McCoy thing there is, and
everybody knows it."[85] The court awarded Kelly the power to decide where their children live.[86]
