The news service's host claimed that federal authorities were going to shut down his studios in Austin, Texas, on Friday night.

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.

    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.
