Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is calling for his one-time idol to be impeached.
In a massive shift from his previous alliance with President Donald Trump, the 52-year-old Jones has made an impassioned plea for Congress to remove the president from office via the 25th Amendment.
“The big issue is how to stop Trump,” Jones said in a livestream on Twitter. “We have to have Congress go for the War Powers [Resolution]. They have three times tried to vote War Powers—they’re supposed to authorize a war. This is a war; they’re getting the draft ready. If this isn’t a war, nothing’s a war.”
He continued, irked by Trump’s prolonged war with Iran, “This is absolutely out of control, and so I’m calling for it right now—25th Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center to get control of our country,” he added.
Jones also spurned Trump’s support of the trillion-dollar National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a major joint tech integration of the U.S. and Israeli militaries. He said that measure is “impeachable alone,” given the president’s support of such a measure.
“If you think it’s crazy now, imagine what’s coming with this: they want us in a total war so they can censor and take our freedoms and nationalize everything, and push us aside with AI,” Jones said on his podcast. “This is a disaster. We are facing tyranny that the public’s awakening. We’ve gotta come together and transcend left and right, and we have to say no to an expanded war that will definitely destroy the economy, kill a bunch of our troops.”
