An ode to @infowars & the new network! After 16 years here, I wanted to give my retrospective and share it with you. The birthplace of new media deserved better than the brutal public execution it received. Let’s talk about it! Follow @AJNlive & charge forward with us! https://t.co/LoUYmx
Alex Jones reflects on InfoWars's 16-year legacy, contrasting his father's 2015 studio construction with the network's subsequent "brutal public execution." He critiques major law firms for providing pro bono legal work against him while suing Trump in "lawfare" cases, arguing that independent revenue streams of $180 million between 2015 and 2018 threatened corporate interests. Ultimately, Jones asserts the shutdown was an attempt to silence independent voices fighting big money, urging listeners to join the Alex Jones Network to continue spreading the message.

We stand in the birthplace of new media, Infowars.com, founded by my father Alex Jones 32 years ago in 1997.
The year was 2014 when they originally built this studio, and not long after, President Donald Trump would join my father on the air to do his first ever appearance in media in general talking about the presidency.
Because at the time, no one would interview then candidate Trump.
My father, sitting in this very chair, looking out to this very scene as you see before you right now, interviewed Donald Trump.
And what did Donald Trump say to my father?
Alex, you'll be very impressed.
I hope you are a good man.
I will not let you down.
I sit in here, and that was 2015, so that was 11 years ago.
I sit in here and I think about everything that's happened since.
I think about COVID.
I think about the quiet recession, depression that we're in.
I think about the Ukraine war.
I think about the Gaza genocide.
I think about all of it, all the political persecution, all the pain.
And I ask you, where were you for us?
Because it would have been a very small matter to save this studio from being destroyed.
Take a look around you again.
The government allowed major law firms, Trump allowed major law firms to expense tens of millions of dollars in legal work against us as charity work, as pro bono work.
The very same firms that sued Donald Trump, that he called lawfare and he called malicious prosecution, they came after us as well.
He says they're very fine people.
They're allowed to do it.
Take a look around you again.
People have said that things said in this room are too extreme.
They're dangerous.
They're wrong.
Well, I ask you, if it's so wrong what's been said in this room, if it's so wrong that Alex Jones should owe a billion dollars, where are Jesse Waters, Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, all of them?
Where are their trillion dollar judgments?
These people have manufactured consent for multiple genocides and ethnic cleansings leading to the deaths of millions of people since the early 2000s.
Where is the equality?
Where is the justice in our justice system?
A man built all of this from nothing with his sweat, with his blood, with his tears.
I did the calculations.
It's over 40,000 hours on air.
He did that all by himself.
You look at a vice media, you look at a Young Turks, these people received tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars.
And they're still lost leaders.
They're still failures.
The companies are still always in the red.
They shut InfoWars down because they were afraid of a place.
that generated $180 million between 2015 and 2018, that's on record, that generated that much money completely independently, all because of one man, and go behind you, look at that chair again, all because of one man in one chair spreading a message to the audience and because of all the crew here, all the powerful crew that have made this entire system hum because of this engine, this organic thing, they have come after us.
They want to silence us because they don't want you to be able to do that too.
They don't want you to be able to fight against the big corporations.
They don't want you to be able to fight against the big lawyers.
They don't want you to be able to fight against the big money.
We're all Alex Jones.
We're all InfoWars.
And they can take that logo away.
They can put a gay little onion on there and have Tim Heidecker do a little jig.
He can do a tap dance and shuck and jive for all I care.
This place will never die.
It'll never go away.
And that's why you need to go to the Alex Jones Network.
