Alex Jones broke down in tears on his show this week while claiming that federal authorities were preparing to shut down his studio.
The 50-year-old conspiracy theorist wept openly Saturday on InfoWars, while making an unfounded accusation.
The fringe conservative further claimed that he had to sleep in the show’s Dallas studio the night before to avoid being padlocked, hours before the web version of his network, in an article, claimed the same thing.
Both described the four-hour-long broadcast as an emergency broadcast, “to discuss how the Deep State’s effort to shut down” Jones’ website, which has long faced criticism for false stories.
On Saturday, Jones appeared visibly upset when he said he was fighting unspecified allegations, allegedly detailed in a trove of “secret federal files.” Jones is best known for saying that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was staged, a claim that is decidedly false.

The 50-year-old conspiracy theorist wept openly Saturday on InfoWars, making an unfounded accusation in the process.
“I love this team,” Jones says about 15 minutes into the final hour of X’s broadcast, before burying his face in his hand.
“I’m so angry,” he said, beginning to sob.
Referencing earlier points in the broadcast where he exaggerated his depression with crocodile tears, he admits, “I’m trying to cry like it’s a lie, but I’m sick of these people,” his eyes filling with tears.
“All we’re trying to do is save America, and we’re getting screwed over and over and over again.
“And it’s so sick… it’s sick, it’s sick,” he adds, visibly moved.
“I want to leave, because this will be over, friends.”
The Texan goes on to insist that “I’ll come back bigger than ever,” before adding, “But my baby, I’m watching him get raped.”
After the big display of emotion, Jones is seen quickly returning to his animated state, calling the members of the unspecified federal agencies who are allegedly harassing him “pussies” and “morons.”
As of this writing, it is unclear which federal agency the controversial commenter was referring to, or if it was just the government at large.
Jones was visibly upset when he said he was fighting unspecified allegations, allegedly detailed in a trove of “secret federal files.”
At another point, he rants that he “(has) been under attack… (and) burned by gas.”
‘I have had secret federal files on me committing crimes referred to the Department of Justice.
At one point, he is even heard shouting: ‘You want a fucking war, you got one!’
Don Quixote’s de facto statement was followed by another in which he suggested: “This may be my last performance.”
Nearly two years ago, Jones was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in damages to the families of Sandy Hook victims, after which he offered to pay the families of Sandy Hook victims $55 million over 10 years.
Jones has faced criticism in the past for playing an amplified version of himself not only on air but also in public, a persona that has gotten him into trouble in the past.
However, as many have pointed out, it has also given him opinions (and a multimillion-dollar media empire) in the process, one that continues to attract attention months after the talking head was reinstated on Elon Musk’s X.
Meanwhile, Jones has yet to disburse any of the more than $1 billion to any of the victims of the mass shooting, which occurred on December 14, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut.
There, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot dead 26 people, including 20 children aged between six and seven, and six adult staff members.
