Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio host, author, conspiracy theorist and documentary filmmaker.

His syndicated news/talk show The Alex Jones Show, based in Austin, Texas, airs via the Genesis Communication Network on over 70 AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations across the United States and on the Internet. His websites include Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. As of January 2012, his YouTube channel, InfoWars, had received over 250 million views.

Jones has been the center of many controversies, including his statements about gun control in the wake of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He has accused the U.S. government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the filming of fake Moon landings to hide NASA's secret technology and the killing of "thousands of astronauts". Rolling Stone covers his belief that government and big business have colluded to create a New World Order through "manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and—above all—inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria".

Jones describes himself as a libertarian and a conservative, and while critics have called him "right-wing", Jones himself rejects the label.

The shock jock had been invited on the show alongside journalist David Aaronovitch to discuss the secretive Bilderberg conference, which has been taking place near Watford over the past week.

But having been asked on several occasions to let his co-guest speak, Jones launched into a tirade about several conspiracy theories detailed on his website.

He was cut off by Neil, but when he continued to rant, the presenter said: "You are the worst person I've ever interviewed," before thanking Aaronovitch and continuing with the show.

With Jones's shouts still audible, the presenter looked into the camera and said: "We have an idiot on the programme today," before using hand gestures to indicate that Jones was insane.

After being told several times to try not to dominate the conversation, Jones appeared to lose his temper, shouting: "Hey listen, I'm here to warn people; you keep telling me to shut up. This isn't a game. Our government, the US, is building Fema [Federal Emergency Management Agency] camps. [Remind you of anyone?]
