April 18, 2022’s Knowledge Fight episode dissects Alex Jones’ bankruptcy claims—$3M cash reserves, a Chapter 11 "reorganization" to halt lawsuits, and listener-funded survival—mocking his melodrama while exposing his unsustainable business model. Despite 600K annual Infowars store orders, he laments 1% sales, pivoting from geopolitical rants (Ukraine, China) to fundraising pleas, even framing collapse as divine punishment. The hosts debunk his conspiracy-laced financial panic and Napolitano interview, highlighting his reliance on fringe narratives like "killing babies" and "New World Order" threats to justify donations, while his audience’s apathy underscores the show’s crumbling relevance. [Automatically generated summary]
Why do I feel like most of the time it's just going to be...
Listen, if I did declare bankruptcy, which I'm not confirming, my lawyers haven't said anything about that, then what you need to know is that I'm still great.
I'm still fine.
Nothing to worry about.
I need as much money as humanly possible right now, though.
So here we are on this Monday, April 18th edition of the Alex Jones Show in the year 2022, and we see worldwide depression, we see worldwide inflation, we see planetary...
We see massive wars.
We see collapsing borders.
We see open pedophilia promotion by every major Western media outlet of any size.
It is just an unspeakable moment in human history to know that we've been turned over to evil, that we've aborted billions of babies on a planetary scale, and that God is now withdrawing his protection from us.
And evil and corruption, All right, I'm going to say something here, and I'm not going to talk about it again today, and it will be basically my statement on the subject, and I'm going to move on.
But it's just this.
I am not declaring bankruptcy, and InfoWars is not declaring bankruptcy.
So this is a total mess, but it's not wildly unpredictable.
The way stuff like this works is that if an entity declares bankruptcy, even a Chapter 11 reorganization style of bankruptcy, then all civil litigation that it's involved in is halted.
This is because of what a bankruptcy like this represents.
Typically, a business will enter this kind of bankruptcy if they owe money to multiple creditors, so the halting of civil litigation is generally an attempt to make sure that one debt the business has Right.
The Chapter 11 reorganization is an attempt to create a plan to pay off all the debts while keeping the business functioning.
Typically speaking when people do this.
What?
Given the way things have gone over the last few years, it's tough for me not to read this as an attempt to postpone or entirely derail the civil cases against him and Infowars, but as it stands now, I really don't know what to expect from this.
This is a big breaking news story for our world, but honestly, I kind of look at this still as a developing story, and I don't know what's going to play out.
It's a Chapter 11 reorganization in the federal courts.
So you can go and show them their books, they can come in and look at your books, and know that we don't have $16 million in a secret bank account, or $5 million, or $3 million.
This explanation falls on deaf ears for me because, honestly, if Alex wanted to open up his books to the court to prove that stuff, he could have done that at any point.
I don't think that's necessary to achieve the aims that he's describing, so I kind of feel like this explanation I just don't accept as satisfying at all.
Even if he wanted to keep it all confidential, he could have had it subject to the protective order that's in place for these cases.
When you see all these headlines out there, did Alex Jones enforce bankruptcy?
The answer's no.
The bankruptcy for my affiliate companies is designed to pay all of my creditors in full.
Alex Jones, yours truly, gave up all rights to his membership interest in the debtor's bankruptcy to a trust created to hold that interest and backstop payments and claims.
Number four, I'm confident the federal system has the tools and experience to fairly deal with the resolution of these claims.
Again, the corporate media and these individuals know that we don't have all this money.
The plan is to try to get judgments that are giant and large that can't be paid.
So they can close our doors here and try to keep me from being on the air elsewhere, which they're not going to be able to do.
In fact, if anything, it makes me work harder and value the First Amendment even more.
That said, my fate is tied to your fate, and this country and this world is in a lot of trouble, and so we're all going to share this misery together, including those that are in the system and that are...
Really destroying due process and every major pillar of our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
I mean, the Eighth Amendment, in my case, is completely thrown out the window.
Like, here's where I feel like human society does kind of break down in this scenario, is like, at a certain point, there can be no more benefit of the doubt given.
You know?
Like...
You've proven that if you give him the benefit of the doubt, he's going to exploit it.
So then you stop doing that.
And yet, still, with this million dollar judgment, it's like, what are you doing?
It really does seem like if I'm the judge here, I'm looking at old cases going through like, let's just see the top number and I'm gonna go up by at least one, you know?
And that's what I'm thinking, is my response to this is, Alex is doing unprecedented things, but you keep giving him very precedented sanctions and the like.
I'm not going to get into this today in any great detail, but this is a big story.
For anybody in the country, and I've talked to a lot of lawyers, including some of the biggest names out there, and they've seen these documents, and they cannot believe these.
But the judges given in the Texas case and the Connecticut case, whatever these lawyers want, same lawyers that bankrupted Remington into serious problems.
Have filed for one of three trials they have coming up, starting next month, actually late this month, that we not be able to talk at the trial.
So I'm already found guilty.
Did juries ever think that they would go and then someone's guilty, you're told, and now you decide how guilty?
However, there are some realities to this bad situation that Alex finds himself in and put himself in regarding the trials.
Because of the flagrant and repeated abuses of the discovery process that Alex engaged in, the court sanctioned him after they failed to produce yet another corporate representative after the Daria attempt.
So after that one, they sent another corporate representative that didn't work out.
This made it so Alex's side wasn't able to demand any further discovery from the plaintiffs.
If he wasn't cooperating, it wasn't fair that the other side was being held to a different standard.
I think that makes some sense.
Further and more relevantly, because they had at least four opportunities to come in and discuss these questions and failed spectacularly each time, the court ordered that if there was a factual dispute between Alex and the plaintiffs on a number of questions, the jury was instructed to view the plaintiffs'claims as established fact.
Alex was given a chance to discuss this stuff in an appropriate setting, but he was unwilling to cooperate with the process and now the chance that he has is passed.
It's not appropriate for him to, like, now I want to talk about it once we're at the trial.
As for his not being able to bring up the First Amendment, I'm guessing that's more of an issue of it being completely irrelevant to the case.
He's already been found guilty in a default judgment at this point, and even before that, the First Amendment defense wouldn't really apply, but particularly now.
He can defend himself on maybe some of the other questions that aren't listed in the things that the jury is instructed to not accept his protestations on.
The rot that is attacking us is endemic of what has happened in civilization.
And it just tears my guts up.
I can tell you this.
If we weren't so maxed out, these legal battles would be a lot easier.
And so the biggest thing you can do is spread the word about the broadcast, knowing that powerful forces are doing everything they can and breaking all the rules, trying to silence us, because they need the main voices of resistance silenced ahead of the next big lockdowns.
And the devaluation of the currency and the universal basic income and the real tyranny that is being set up and rolled out now.
And so I'm honored that these powerful forces are obsessed with taking us down and silencing us.
I mean, I expect that to happen.
It's still amazing to actually be at the center of it.
And so there's that.
Please spread the word about the broadcast and realize it's so precious and every guest we have and every topic we cover and the information we go over is something that really scares the power structure because they know it's the truth.
I mean, I would tell you right now, ladies and gentlemen, that if you want us to be able to stay on air and be able to move forward in the future, I need you now to not wait and to go to InfowarStore.com, especially those of you that have never bought a book, never bought a film, never bought a t-shirt, never got a supplement, never got an air filtration, water filtration, shortwave radio, thousands of great items, books, you name it, at InfowarStore.com.
Get your living defense.
Get your knockout.
It's back in stock.
Body's Ultimate Turmeric Formula, Lung Cleanse.
They're all there at InfoWarsStore.com.
And it's just that simple.
There's also a button up on the top of the shopping cart that says Support, and it says Become a Sponsor.
And you just click there, and you can give a monthly donation or just give a one-time donation.
And then we actually get 95% of that money instead of just, you know, 30% or 40%, 50% with the sale of the product.
This is do or die time.
If you want to keep us on air through these attacks of the system and the system pulling out all the stops to try to silence us, then this is the time.
They are trying to silence you.
They are trying to take down the leading voice of resistance.
I feel like he's done about everything he can in terms of really extreme calls to action, like hitting a panic button, and I don't know who's left to freak out.
And I am just here fighting as hard as I can with everything I've got.
Try to stay on air as long as possible until humanity finds its soul again and stands up peacefully and says no.
And that's starting to happen.
So they had two years of police stay.
They backed off a little because all the prominent people were waking up and speaking out.
And the attempts to silence people weren't working.
They backed off some, but now they're setting up and preparing the next wave of fear, the next wave of control, the next group of lockdowns, the next group of censoring and systems to silence their opposition.
You can't avoid this corruption and just hide under a rock and hope it goes away.
It's not going to go away.
And I am very honored and blessed that we've been on the air 28 years and have learned a lot together.
And have made mistakes, but overall have changed the world for the better and have really gotten more accurate and more truthful and more insightful as time goes on.
It's all the good brain and soul God gave me and the great brain and soul God gave you and all the listeners and all the guests and this family that is Infowars.
But I got to tell you, folks, you're the only thing in our corner.
I want to be strong, and I want to continue to persevere.
And the biggest way you can do that right now is by going to Infowarsstore.com and getting things you already need.
I mean, look.
I shouldn't even be selling all this stuff on sale because here's the predicament we're in.
I'm spending almost all the money that comes in on infrastructure and the crew and legal and bandwidth and all of it.
And then we have to buy product going forward and prices have gone up and supply chains have broken down.
Instead of six weeks, it's 25, 30 weeks for a product.
And we've got that money where now people used to let you do it for no money down and pay when it was ready.
Or half the money down.
And then pay when you got the rest.
We don't get that with anybody anymore.
And so, I'm sitting here looking at the product we've got, the books, the films, the t-shirts, everything we've got in stock, and thinking, I can run off this stock for six, seven months, no problem.
But then I'll have to basically implode and let go of most of the crew.
All of you that have been on the fence, all of you that have listened to the show over the years and never gone to Infowarsstore.com.
Folks that have been doing that are the reason the broadcast is still here and we've influenced so many powerful people and so many important people and so many influential people and so many great common people.
It's just immeasurable what this family of InfoWars has done.
And so we've already had a mighty effect.
That's why they hate us so much.
But I believe our most important work is still to come.
But I can't win this fight without your commission.
Maybe he's got one of those calendars where it's like, it's been 180 days since I've said we have six months until we live, and then he pulls it down, and he's like, alright, zero days.
You know, like, Jim Baker will be like, we need a sign that you want us to expand this ministry and build another shack out back to do something and hold our potatoes in or whatever.
So that when people see world government being announced, and oh, it's going to be post-human, and oh, we're going to take over your body, people go, well, I better not criticize it.
I mean, I'll end up like Alex Jones.
Hell, you'll end up like people starving to death all over the world.
So I'm going to give the number out, and I'm going to take your calls today on the war.
On the new COVID lockdowns, they're definitely trying to bring back on what's happening in the economy, how you're dealing with inflation.
I really don't want to sit here and, you know, bore you with poor Alex Jones, what's happening to me.
But, I mean, I can tell you, folks, I've gone out and talked to separate third-party big famous law firms, and they don't believe the rulings and the things being done in Connecticut and Texas.
The proposal for the trial coming up in a week and a half, two weeks, jury selections next week in Texas, for one of three lawsuits they've got against me here, the first Sandy Hook one, says we are not allowed to raise the First Amendment or any defenses or talk, basically.
The jury's told I'm guilty, we can't respond, and then they sit there and tell him he's got $200 million.
And he made all his money off Sandy Hook.
I've been in the depositions.
Four of them.
By the way, this week, they wanted me for another deposition.
And so I said, okay.
So they had a third-party group that wanted to depose me, who's a party because of insurance companies and GCN and things.
So it's the Connecticut anti-gun Blumenthal lawyers, Blumenthal's son, basically.
I mean, it's in there.
They run it.
And I come in in the morning at 9 a.m. for the deposition, and then one of the other lawyers says, oh, I had something come up, and they're like, oh, fine, we'll just reschedule in two weeks.
But I try to reschedule when I had vertigo.
Dr. Marble thought it might be a heart problem when it got checked out.
It was an infection.
I go, hey, let me just reschedule next week.
Oh, my God, we'll arrest you!
You owe us all this money!
25,000 first day, 50,000 the next day, 100,000 the next day, up to one point whatever million.
I'm just like, they treat me like I'm Daddy Warbucks.
Like I'm Howard Hughes.
They treat me like I just bathe in gold like Scrooge McDuck.
They treat me like I'm Lex Luthor and a child molester mixed together.
So I'm trying to just get into federal court, probably won't even be able to, just to swear under federal court and they'll send a trustee to look at everything and know we're not lying about not having...
Because, I mean, again, they have HBO, they have Netflix, all of them coming to try to film this trial next week.
The judge is combing her hair and primping.
They admit it's all about media and all about being famous and all about making money off me while claiming I made money off them, which isn't even true.
And then you know I'm going to get subpoenaed in order to sit there like a monkey, but then I'm not allowed to talk?
I've got a whole list of things that I can't talk about.
The First Amendment, or how I didn't damage these people, or any of this stuff.
I mean, you read this, it's like a Monty Python joke.
Coming up in the next segment, I have some really good news I'm going to be getting to as well on the DeSantis front and a lot more, but let me go ahead and just do this now.
I'm going to tape this live on air so we have a four-minute ad that we can run during all the shows.
He banned abortions after 15 weeks, which is right around the cusp of the first and second trimesters.
Alex is presenting this as DeSantis banning late-term, third-trimester abortions because he wants the audience to see this extreme action as just a minor good first step.
That way they can still feel like there's so much they need to fight for, and the audience can contextualize any opposition to DeSantis' action as people overreacting.
Where he's playing a clip from a MSNBC advisor and expert panelist explaining what's really going on in Ukraine.
And boy, they almost have a heart attack.
They turn as wide as a sheet when this guest is on The Morning Joe, Psycho Joe, and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the war criminal's daughter, when the truth is laid out.
The panelist in question, Jeffrey Sachs, is not a newcomer to MSNBC or even to Morning Joe, as Jimmy's trying to imply, and he didn't just disappear.
He's been on the show since this clip, and all that nonsense is just Jimmy trying to create the perception that opposing opinions aren't allowed on media platforms that he doesn't like.
In reality, the clip Jimmy is playing, along with Sax's other appearances, which Jimmy is pretending don't exist, are a strong counterpoint to the entire premise that dissenting opinions aren't allowed in the mainstream media.
Sachs disagrees with the idea of insisting on Assad's removal from power, while the prevailing opinion on the panel is that Assad should be removed, and he's free to speak his position, and he wasn't blacklisted afterwards.
Anyway, Jimmy and Alex both suck, and if Alex took even one second to look into Jeffrey Sachs' resume, he'd find that he's involved with a bunch of organizations that Alex believes are the New World Order, like the UN and the World Health Organization and the World Bank and the OECD.
I don't know.
Seeing that this isn't a unipolar group where everybody has exactly the same ideas and works like automatons to achieve the goals of the devil.
Jill Biden instructs confused Joe to wave to a crowd after delivering remarks.
See Joe Biden's new handlers, Jill Biden and the Easter Bunny.
And you can laugh at this, but this was done so that when they sell the country out and implode the currency, the elites don't get the blame, their puppet does.
It's affecting you that the courts have become this out of control and are able to do stuff like this.
So that's where we are.
And we need your support now more than ever because money is the big thing that can fix this and stand up to this and ensure other things are able to be done in the future no matter what.
But maxed out like I am?
I'm kind of like, God, are you going to take me out of the game?
Is that what you want?
I've been in this 28 years, because if that's your will, if the listeners don't support me, then that's what God wants.
And then that's because God's always provided.
And so, if I'm so cursed in these courts, and I'm so cursed with the lawyers, and I'm so, you know, just absolutely meant, then that is God's plan.
Or, I'm supposed to stay on air, but I need a lot of money.
Yeah, so this is an interesting way to contextualize it, because then it's like, if you don't give me money, that's proof that God doesn't want me to be on air.
I'm reaching the point already with the accounting where I'm not going to be able to buy the DNA Force Plus and the Body's Ultimate Turmeric Formula and the X2 and the X3 and the coffee and all of it because I'll have to have that money to run.
And I can make that decision and stay on air six, eight months and then implode.
But I can't have it both ways where there's even, you know, okay, put the money out, but there's not enough and there's not enough to operate now.
I am in between a rock and a hard place.
I need money right now.
So it's simple.
InfoWars is treading water in frozen ocean.
We're going to sink and it's going to go down or you're going to throw a lifeline in.
And the majority of the listeners...
We know less than 1% of people ever buy products at Infowarsstore.com.
Gosh, if it's just 3% of people listening right now, we'll just go to Infowarsstore.com, secure, high-tech, beautiful site, and buy some Rainforest Ultra.
Get a t-shirt, get a book, get a film.
Donate today, right there, support free speech.
$5, $100, whatever.
We can absolutely win and dominate.
But I'm not Trump who had $20 billion when he ran, and now he's got like $3 billion.
They almost destroyed him.
Yeah, he lost almost everything.
Good for Trump, you know, fighting hard.
I'm ten times more hardcore.
I don't have millions, much less billions of dollars.
Like, I'm surprised he doesn't turn around and you see four D-list conservative celebrities manning old-timey rotary phones just like, we're ready to take your call!
You could maybe do a car wash also, but you need to do the, like, because when Alex has done the, like, Save Info Wars marathons or whatever, it's just the dumb shows, but longer.
If we don't get this money, I will know God has abandoned me because I will be dunked into this tank and I will have to try and untie myself from these cuffs.
A lot of people think they're going through some metamorphosis of corruption and, oh, this great, wonderful thing's going to come out on the other side.
That's what the left thinks.
No, what's going to come out on the other side is mass death and nuclear war.
In fact, I don't want to take calls about InfoWars anymore.
I want to talk about Russia.
I want to talk about China, the borders, the New World Order, any subject but us.
Because it's whining.
It's whining.
If America doesn't believe in free speech, and America believes in killing babies, and America believes in drag queen story time, and America believes in open borders and tuberculosis and bioweapons being released and forced inoculations, then America's done.
And my job was to be here, to expose what was happening, and to try to get people to make a mental, psychic, spiritual choice, and I've done that.
Like, what kind of calls did Alex expect to get when he spent the first hour and a half of this show basically just ranting about doom and how the world was against him?
Whether intentionally or not, that's the theme of the show, and that's just Alex getting mad at himself for not being able to do any other show than that.
Why would somebody call in and be like, hey, I know you got bankruptcy or whatever, but I have a raccoon that's loose in my town, and I think that the mayor is secretly working for that raccoon.
Well, you know, I think Alex probably has a need to try and cover all possible bases in terms of like, how am I going to fuck with people enough to get them to send me money?
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Judge Andrew Napolitano, author, researcher, judge, good friend of mine, philosopher, really smart person is here with us for the rest of the hour, the next 55 minutes, and I really appreciate that.
He wants to get into the ongoing Durham investigation and what came out about the FBI and CIA on the spying on Trump.
We're all vindicated.
He wants to get into some of the things happening with Elon Musk and what's going on.
The Durham investigations found no such proof, and Alex isn't vindicated in any way.
For what it's worth, the Durham shit is really just a right-wing media machine, and in March, a federal judge chastised Durham for, quote, including unnecessary information that fueled a firestorm in right-wing circles about supposed spying on former President Donald Trump in a routine filing that he made.
This is kind of the purpose of the investigation, and Alex and Napolitano are playing their roles in the whole thing.
So yeah, I mean, look, the interview is not interesting at all.
Alex and Napolitano boring me.
And there's a little bit of a resentment, too, that this whole thing is just this long rambling about nothing and how doomed things are and that I need money.
If you don't give me money, well then maybe you don't want my show to exist.
Just all this bullshit.
I think, sincerely, I have a bit more respect for Alex being what he thinks he is.
And I think that the pretense of this, like, no matter what, even if things go really bad, I'll just have to fire everybody, but I'll still keep going.
If he didn't have a studio that looked like CNN and 50 employees or whatever and the ability to play up his relationships with all sorts of other people who are more mainstream and legitimate than him, then yeah.
Is Tucker Carlson gonna care about him if he's a podcaster?
