The Third Court of Appeals in Texas has reportedly stayed an attempt by The Onion and Michael Bloomberg to take control of Infowars. Jones describes the acquisition attempt as a fraudulent hijacking and a "hoax" that was previously overturned by a federal bankruptcy judge in Houston. Despite the legal victory, Jones prepares to move his production to a new studio under different ownership to ensure continuity of the broadcast.

The Onion's second attempt to seize Infowars assets has been halted by a stay from the Third Texas Court of Appeals. Jones plays clips of Onion CEO Ben Collins appearing on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, where Collins expressed intent to transform Infowars into a parody site. Jones characterizes these statements as evidence of malice and "hijacking," noting that the court requires full hearings before any transfer of intellectual property can occur.

Media analyst Mark Dice joins the program to discuss the "bittersweet" end of the original Infowars facility. He criticizes the acquisition of the Infowars brand by The Onion, noting that the new owners are associated with "Satan worship" and former MSNBC figures like Brian Stelter. Dice argues that the brand is inseparable from Alex Jones and that any attempt to rebrand the URL will ultimately fail.

Alex Jones announces that InfoWars faces a potential shutdown on Thursday at midnight, with a Texas receiver scheduled to padlock the doors. He details plans to transition to a new network, "Alex Jones Live," and a new news site to bypass the closure. Jones also comments on the "communist occultic" timing of the May 1st (May Day) deadline and criticizes the producers of The Onion for their involvement in the bankruptcy proceedings.

As the final Sunday show at the current studios concludes, Jones outlines the future of the "Alex Jones Network." He plans to move toward a format of hard-hitting one-hour live shows, similar to the "War Room" model. He mentions that Bloomberg-backed entities and The Onion are attempting to seize his assets, but he intends to stay on air through new sponsorship and studio arrangements.
