After nearly three decades on air, Alex Jones broadcast his final episode of Infowars Thursday night — and he wasted no time promising he’d be back.
Jones ended the show with a defiant pledge to launch a new program, directing his audience to AlexJonesLive and a companion app he described as already operational.
“They’re turning the power off at midnight,” Jones told viewers as a countdown clock ticked toward the studio shutdown. Rather than treat the moment as a farewell, he framed it as a starting line. “We’ve only just begun to fight,” he said, urging his audience to follow him to the new platform.
Jones had already set up a new phone app and websites ahead of the transition, including one selling the dietary supplements, clothing, and merchandise he regularly hawks on air. His personal X account — where he’s built a following of 4.5 million — remains active and unaffected by ongoing court proceedings.
Jones also said this week that he has a new studio nearing completion. He insisted the legal fight surrounding Infowars actually works in his favor — buying time for his new operation to get off the ground. “We’ve launched our operation,” he said. “You’ve walked into our trap, because we don’t start fights, but we finish them.”
The shutdown comes as a long-running dispute over the future of Infowars moves through the courts. Satirical outlet The Onion has been seeking to take control of the brand. Infowars was liquidated to compensate families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims. They won more than $1.3 billion in defamation judgments against Jones.
A Texas appeals court granted Jones a temporary reprieve this week. It delayed any immediate takeover and pushed the fight toward the state’s supreme court.
