NBC host Megyn Kelly’s interview with noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, scheduled to air on Sunday, never really seemed like a good idea. Sandy Hook parents have called for NBC to pull the interview, due to the controversial right-wing radio host’s previous statements promoting conspiracy theories about the school shooting. And Jones has now fired back at Kelly, leaking recorded audio where Kelly tells him she thinks he is “fascinating” and promises the interview won’t be “some gotcha-hit-piece.”
Jones is the founder of InfoWars, an outlet which proclaims “there is a war on for your mind!” He has promoted conspiracy theories ranging from the Sandy Hook Shooting being faked, to the government creating homosexuality.
Kelly’s scheduled interview with Jones put both NBC and Kelly onto the defensive for giving a platform for Jones. JP Morgan & Chase Co. has pulled advertising from the show until after the interview airs.

Jones' conspiracy theories have reached a wide audience. Infowars.com has averaged 6.72 million unique visitors a month so far in 2017, according to Quantcast. Jones' business model revolves around selling dietary supplements to his devoted followers.

Here are five of his Jones' prominent conspiracy theories.
1. New World Order
Most of Jones’ other conspiracy theories revolve around this one, which argues the world’s elites are planning on “exterminating” 80 percent of the world’s population “to live forever with the aid of advanced technology.” Jones made a documentary exploring this theory, which proposes “globalists” are planning on using eugenics to eliminate a large portion of the population. On his radio show, Jones often rails against these “globalists.”
2. 9/11 Was An "Inside Job"
Jones had described himself as “one of the very first founding fathers of the 9-11 truth movement.” He made a film titled “Martial Law 9-11: The Rise of the Police State,” in which he called 9-11 an “inside job” orchestrated by “globalists” in the U.S. government who were trying to enslave the world. He has also appeared at a 9/11 truther conference, where he called 9/11 a “hoax” and a “fraud.”
3. Major Shootings, Bombings Were “False Flag” Operations
Along with 9/11, Jones has accused many other major shootings and bombings as being faked by the government to promote the interests of globalists. Jones sees “false flag” operations orchestrated by elites in many events, including the Oklahoma City and Boston Marathon Bombings. He also questioned the mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado; Columbine, Colorado; Tucson, Arizona; San Bernardino, California; Orlando and Newtown, Connecticut. Listeners of Jones who believe these theories have harassed family members of victims in the years following the shootings.
4. Obama Is "Global Head" of Al-Qaeda
Jones was one of many right-wingers to aggressively target President Barack Obama following his election in 2008. Jones called Obama “the global head of Al-Qaeda,” accusing him of funding and arming the terrorist organization to achieve his own political goals. He also called Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton literal “demons.”
5. Government Creates Homosexuality
Jones has said the government is using juice boxes to make children gay to slow and eventually reverse the growth of the population. In one of his most popular videos, often used to mock Jones online, the radio host proclaims that chemicals in the water are “turning the freaking frogs gay.”

I had no idea that Jones' business model is now based on selling snake oil supplements. Makes sense though. If you can convince a bunch of far right tards that Sandy Hook was a "hoax," then you convince those far right tards that Jone's magic "Super Male Vitality" will make you a raving, virile man...just like Alex!

“Every week. 5 years later. Still harrased by truthers. You do NOT give crazy a platform. You're better than this @nbc,” Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose daughter, Anna Grace, was killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, tweeted Monday.
