Alex Jones Bankruptcy Hearing and InfoWars Ownership Status
Alex Jones reports on a pivotal Friday hearing in Houston federal court regarding the bankruptcy of InfoWars. Judge Lopez ruled that Jones remains the decision-maker and CEO, rejecting attempts by court-appointed Chief Restructuring Officer Patrick McGill to remove him from the building. Under the new Chapter 7 liquidation filing, ownership of InfoWars has transitioned to a court-appointed trustee, providing the network several months of operational runway.

00:00 I mean, it's just wild that these people, because I'm Alex Jones, and because the corporate media has been attacking me, are so pissed that when they make fake court filings that I'm stealing money, I'm not supposed to get upset. When they try to lock me out of the building outside of law, I'm not supposed to get upset. When they came here with all these people, because I have gun safes here, when they first got assigned a year and a half ago and literally were like going, like, are you nervous? Are you nervous? Are all these legal? And I'm like, yeah, man, they're just guns. They're all bought at gun shops. I have no criminal record. Yeah, right. Serial numbers, taking photos, looking at me. Oh, oh, God. I mean, just they're like from another world. They're like pod people.
00:44 While other networks lie to you about what's happening now, InfoWars tells you the truth about what's happening next. InfoWars.com forward slash go. InfoWars. Tomorrow's news today. It's Saturday, June 15th, 2024.
01:27 It is 10 a.m. Central Standard time coming to you from deep in the heart of Texas broadcasting worldwide. Well as I warned you in the last week at this Friday hearing yesterday in Houston at the federal courthouse the CRO appointed by the court was gonna try to remove me and have me thrown out of the building and sure as hell he got up on the stand and said that And the judge listened to all the testimony, and at the end of the day, after eight hours, he told the CRO, he says, you got one action left. You hand those bank accounts over to Alex Jones, and you're done. People found it really hard to believe that two weeks ago, two Fridays ago, the private security firm that I hired many years ago, but they're a separate company, that's how it works, were told by this guy that he's the boss, get rid of me. Shut the doors.
02:32 The judge said no fewer than 10 times yesterday, Alex Jones is the owner of InfoWars. Alex Jones is in charge of InfoWars. Now that said, when this CRO went around here that the judge appointed, and he just goes off a group of people he's able to, and I accepted it because I had no idea what was going to happen, that the CRO reports back to the court. And then if the court disagrees with what I'm doing, the judge could override me. That's how it works in this type of bankruptcy I was in. To be 100% clear,
03:12 The new type of bankruptcy I'm in is personal seven total liquidation, which I'd already liquidated in my 11. So you hear court orders liquidation. No, I asked the court to do that. But you see the CNN headline, Jones defeated all his massive assets, given up. I didn't have a bunch of assets and they were already given up because I'm trying to get through this and prove the world that I don't have hundreds of millions of dollars and didn't do all the things they said, which is now coming out everywhere. So this is a big deal. I mean, every news channel in the country, top of Yahoo, top of X, top of Facebook, is nothing but Alex Jones. It is literally as big as the OJ Simpson trial. It is everywhere. And it's the corporate media saying, look, he's having everything taken away because he is a disinfo operative. No, the system has come after me and basically made up and exaggerated the things I never even said and claimed I did things I didn't do. And then had rigged show trials where I was already found guilty.
04:10 to then create such a giant judgment that that would scare everybody away from telling the truth. This is about intimidating you, but it's not working, ladies and gentlemen. So to be 100% clear, in chapter 7, and I agreed to the new trustee, who's very respected by the way, I do not now own InfoWars. I owned it, I was the total controller of it, the bankruptcy I was in. Patrick McGill was not, he told everybody he was and tried to literally do a mutiny and throw me out. Under the new system, My personal chapter seven, I own InfoWars, is now owned by or controlled by the trustee and the judge made it clear. The court trustee is now the owner. This is important information. This is facts, not what you see in the news. I am the CEO and the decision maker. And if the new owner, as of now, I no longer, as of last night when the judge signed the order, am no longer the owner of InfoWars. Now, Pat McGill said that's what he was. He wasn't in the code. It was 100% clear.
05:17 Now, there could be a sale of InfoWars and I stay on. Now a settlement could be reached. This gives us three, four, five months of runway because if I didn't do this, as I told you, they were going to close the doors last night. And Patrick McGill got up and said, Jones is out. I'm going to sell off the remaining product. I'm going to keep enough employees on for the shopping cart and stuff. And that's it. So, as I told you, I don't cry wolf. And people are like, well, why are you still on air? Two weeks ago, they tried to kick you out and close the doors. And now that because I'm fighting, this is what a fight looks like. And I know it's a cliffhanger, like every week, we can be shut down the last few weeks because this is what's going on. You're like watching Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier right here. I mean, this is a battle. I mean, and if we make it a few more months, which I think there's very good chances we are, and if we make it that, we'll survive.
06:19 under new management and ownership, but I'll still be a host here. And I'll still be in control of what I say or I won't be here. But we just got more runway. It's like in a video game where you're down to one life, you get another life. We were down to one life, surrounded fighting the main boss. We just beat the main boss and we got another life. Now we got two lives going to the next level. That's a video game analogy, but it's pretty good. So that's where we are. And when I walked out, all the leftists were New York Times, all of them screaming at me, hundreds of press. All right, Jones, you think you're still surviving? You'll get shot down soon. We'll get you in state court. Exactly. But you didn't get me today. I had no more moves. They were literally trying to lock me out of the building without a court order. The judge flipped out over this. Totally, just in my view, illegal. And the judge kept saying to the CR on the stand, you are not the owner. You are not the boss. It's Mr. Jones. He said it at least 10 times. And Pat McGill would say, no, I'm in charge. And the judge would just shake his head. This was
07:31 Cuckoo stuff, but I ask you what would make this leftist and the chapter 5 trustee That's like his best buddy that came into this case Who also the US trustee was there via the Justice Department and was recommending that I'd be thrown out last night Before I got back from Houston. I'd be locked out of the building They said it on the stand said all those people and I saw who you were and And it's not about me, but I saw instantly two weeks ago when I made the emergency announcement, key fake conservative accounts, you don't really know who they are, but they've gotten popular, say Jones is lying, it's a hoax, it's a PR stunt, blah, blah, blah. And I saw the unified script they were all putting out, these hundreds of accounts, and I went, ah, that's the government. Those people have been paid to do this. So remember who said I lied and who said that we weren't about to be shut down two weeks ago and at this Friday hearing.
08:33 And I said, they're gonna ask for me to be fired, removed. And even to my lawyers, Pat McGill Thursday had meetings with him over the phone and said, I'm just resigning, I'm leaving tomorrow, Friday. No, this is not gonna happen. Alex is just gonna have the company give back to him, I'm done. And then he marches into court and says, I want a chapter seven conversion on the company, giving it over to the Connecticut Democrat Party plaintiffs. So I had to do my own seven to say, nope, boom, I'm doing it. So that it's another trustee and not them, who's respected, will actually try to get value out of the company for the quote creditors. Because that's what the judge said. He goes, you guys don't want money. You just want to shut him down. And he goes, my job is not shutting down talk show hosts in America. We still have a First Amendment. It was an incredible hearing, eight hours long. They took an hour and a half break because the judge wanted to read the transcript. They were dumb enough
09:33 the globalist lawyers and Pat McGill to give him transcripts, full certified transcripts of that emergency Saturday, Sunday and Monday show where I laid out the whole history and the judge said he went and read it all. And they thought that was going to hurt me? That they tried to hijack the company and said they were above the judge? I settled that on air. and that McGill ran around the office saying I deserve to be in jail for my speech and that we shouldn't be on air because I'm criticizing the wonderful vaccines. Everybody knows it's a lie now. So this was crazy, absolutely bonkers. So I got very respected.
