Infowars’ Alex Jones is just pretending when hosting his show, where he frequently espouses conspiracy theories and recently challenged actor Alec Baldwin to a fistfight. That’s what his lawyer, Randall Wilhite argued at a recent pretrial hearing, the Austin-American Statesman first reported. Jones is currently battling his ex-wife in court over custody of their children. His case will depend on convincing jurors that Alex Jones the Infowars host is different from Alex Jones the person. “He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said, according to the Statesman. “He is a performance artist.” Jones’ wife argued that her husband — who once pushed a theory that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a false flag event — actually believes what he says. Sponsored Links by “He’s not a stable person,” Kelly Jones said. “He says he wants to break Alec Baldwin’s neck. He wants J-Lo to get raped.” “He broadcasts from home. The children are there, watching him broadcast,” she added. The Jones’ 14-year-old son and two daughters, ages 9 and 12, have lived with their father since his 2015 divorce, according to the Statesman. Jones went on a rant last month against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff after Schiff accused him of colluding with the Russians. “You get in my face with that, I’ll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch. You piece of shit,” Jones said. Jones later said his comments were “clearly tongue-in-cheek and basically art performance, as I do in my rants, which I admit I do, as a form of art.” That clip, however, will not be allowed as evidence in court, state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo ruled. One clip that Naranjo did allow, according to the Statesman, is of Jones showcasing videos his then-12-year-old son had put together with Infowars employees. “He is undoubtedly cut out for this, and I intend for him to eclipse what I’ve done. He’s a way greater person than I was at 12,” Jones said in the clip, before addressing his son: “I love you so much, and I didn’t mean to get you up here, sweetheart, and tell people how much I love you, but you’re so handsome, and you’re a good little knight who’s going to grow up, I know, to be a great fighter against the enemy.” Jones apologized last month for his role in promoting the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which held that Clinton operative John Podesta was leading a child sex trafficking ring out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria.

Child custody cases by celebs are usually a bunch of muckraking and lies. And the tabloids love it. The ex-wife is probably after bigger alimony and better shared custody arrangements.
Jones has been a sell-out even long before he hitched his wagon to Trump. I'l admit - at one time I listened to his show, but his bombastic rhetoric, talking over his guests and outright insanity turned me completely off. I believe Jones is a now Zionist-controlled puppet for the establishment. I do give him credit for waking up thousands if not millions to the New World Order, but AFAIC, there are countless others who do that much better than he does now. Alex Jones is the equivalent of "marijuana" for the beginning searcher. He is a gateway to stronger and more substantive thoughts, opinions and facts. I too listened to him, but now I could do his show if I had the talent and the want to do so. There is no need to bend the truth to fit an opinion. It lays out like a KKK-mart lounge chair if properly absorbed.
Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.
This is very, very common, if not universally the case for people who routinely put on any kind of show, at least if they come off as constantly angry or similar. Doing the same type of performance day after day, week after week for years, any person will develop a look and sound that is suited for the task, which is likely different from what the person is really like. I think Ozzy Osborne made that point about his performances in an interview. And the same is likely true for Judge Jeanine Pierro when she does her opening statements which I love listening too.
