Radio show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s website Infowars has been offered White House press credentials, Jones said in a video he posted Wednesday. 
 
"Here's the deal, I know I get White House credentials, we've already been offered them, we're going to get them, but I've just got to spend the money to send somebody there," Jones says in the clip. 
 
"I want to make sure it's even worth it. I don't want to just sit there up there like ‘I’m in the media, look our people are there.’ “ 
 
White House press secretary Sean Spicer indicated Monday that four "Skype seats" would be made available to some journalists who are outside of a 50-mile radius of Washington, D.C.. It is not known when the Skype seats will be deployed during daily press briefings. 
 
"People don't understand this paradigm, we're devolving in a good way, power from the federal government back to the people, back from the centralized [mainstream media] to the people, just like Trump said in his speech," added Jones. 
 
Jones, a supporter of President Trump, is the owner and operator of popular web sites Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. He is also the author of "9-11 Descent Into Tyranny" and "The Answer to 1984 is 1776." 
 
“[Trum]) keeps saying CNN is fake, and I'm not going to any of your fake news. What's CNN doing in the front row, when Spicer keeps going to them?" Jones asked in the video post. 
 
"So they're like little kids up there. These aren't real journalists. Meanwhile, it's just crazy, you should see Breitbart and Drudge, and also just reporters that are known to tell the truth from mainstream, whatever, promoted and put up at the front of those briefings, to bring up real questions, not just a battle where they're just attacking with fricking lies," Jones also said. 
 
Jones, 42, has accused the U.S. government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the September 11, 2001, attacks. He also claims U.S. Moon landings were faked, and that the government faked the Sandy Hook school shooting using actors.
 
The Hill has reached out to the White House press office and Jones for comment.
