Alex Jones took a moment on his show this week to address the images of trans porn that were spotted on his phone during a live broadcast of InfoWars.
“I saw a couple of news articles about that, it’s ridiculous. I was like looking up some reporter we’re trying to hire today and punched in some number and porn popped up on my phone. Everybody has had porn pop-up on their phone hundreds of times,” Jones explained to a caller on Tuesday.
“I probably had porn menus pop up 500 times on my phone,” he added. “There’s two types of people: People who look at porn and people who lie about it. But I wasn’t looking at porn on my phone. I don’t take phones on air that I look at porn on.”
Despite being banned from YouTube and Facebook, professional InfoWars watchers continue to monitor Jones and the moment did not escape them.

Transgender-themed pornography being among the “500” such porn websites that Jones says regularly pop up on his phone is surprising, given Jones’ frequent criticism of the trans community. Before he was banned from YouTube, he received a community strike from the website over a video that showed him threatening a transgender person, according to NBC.
Jones has a broad dislike of men wearing traditionally female clothing as evidenced by one of his more memorable meltdowns last year after he learned about a program in California where drag queens read to children.
“They dress up like space aliens all over the United States of America and all over the world,” Jones said in a fury. “In horrible demon psychopath outfits that make Pennywise look beautiful. And they show up and they have their way with children, in demon outfits. I mean, if you’ve got men that look like 400-pound goblin demons with your children, there’s nothing you won’t put up with.”
