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.

    But instead the media behaves like nothing was learned during the 2016 campaign. Who would’ve thunk: Clicks, ratings, Oxford comma, and ad revenue are all more important than ethical and non-destructive coverage. And I only agree with one of those.

      It’s the Oxford comma, right?

      Right?

      I will be cold dead in the ground before I tolerate the Oxford comma. It is not needed and useless and breakups up sentence flow.

        Ok, however - If I said “I live with my parents, Bob and Midge.”

        How many people are in my house?

        How about “I live with my parents, Bob, and Midge”?

        I’d say there’s a specific and important distinction made by using the extra comma.
