But politics 鈥� and conspiracy theories 鈥� make strange bedfellows. Gibson, who garnered 2.3 percent of the vote in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Washington, and Jones, an online and radio conspiracy junkie, appear to be forming a new alliance.

Gibson鈥檚 far-right Patriot Prayer group has hosted more than a dozen 鈥渇reedom鈥� rallies 鈥攎ostly on the West Coast, and often marked by violence 鈥� since early last year. Their next event is a 鈥淔ree Alex Jones鈥� rally in Austin, Texas, on September 22, to protest Jones being booted from Twitter and YouTube. The rally will also feature far-right internet personality Laura Loomer, who has spread a variety of conspiracy theories, many of which are聽anti-Muslim.

The rally comes as Gibson has started to make more appearances on Infowars, including as a repeat guest on the 鈥淲ar Room鈥� show on the online channel, since fizzling out in the Senate campaign.

Gibson and Jones have found common ground on the issue of free speech, with both seeing themselves as embattled warriors fighting against a perceived threat of rampant leftist violence that aims to silence conservative voices. Jones has even said that the left intends . Though Gibson usually prefers to spread his message in the streets and Jones in the studio, it seems that their theaters are beginning to overlap.

On Monday, 鈥淲ar Room鈥� host Owen Shroyer announced the start of an Infowars 鈥渟treet army鈥� 鈥� fans and listeners wearing pro-Trump garb to non-political and non-Trump events and behaving provocatively on camera when possible, then photographing or video recording the reactions, whether they turn violent or not.

In exchange for the videos and pictures, Shroyer is promising to promote people through the 鈥渞anks鈥� in his 鈥渟treet army鈥� ranging from private on up. While the group will initially depend on the creativity of individuals, Shroyer says they will eventually carry out coordinated actions.

鈥淲e go out in the real 3D realm to show how popular Trump really is,鈥� Shroyer said.

Shroyer also pitched an idea he calls 鈥渦niversity wars,鈥� encouraging college students to wear 鈥淢ake America Great Again鈥� hats and T-shirts to classes as schools return to session in the coming weeks.

Shroyer also pushed students to film their professors being 鈥渁nti-American, racist, communist, anti-Trump, whatever it is.鈥� The idea is similar to the 鈥減rofessor watch list鈥� crowdsourced by conservative student group Turning Point USA.

Along with recording professors, Shroyer encouraged followers to drop large banners bearing the Infowars name at college football games, particularly at some of the largest stadiums in the country and schools that have been targets for racist 鈥渁lt-right鈥� front man Richard Spencer and other activists 鈥� the University of Michigan, Penn State and the University of Tennessee.

鈥淚t鈥檚 time to get active,鈥� Shroyer said in a recently broadcast show. 鈥淚t鈥檚 time to push the pedal to the metal.鈥�

Patriot Prayer rallies have turned violent in recent months, with police in Portland, Oregon, firing off flash-bangs at an August 4 gathering that included the Proud Boys and a rally two months earlier that devolved into a series of fights and people throwing objects at one another.

Gibson, on an episode of Infowars, said Patriot Prayer rallies started because 鈥渨e saw people beat up in the streets during the Trump election.鈥� Neither Jones nor Gibson offered any evidence of such activity, but both harped on the idea that counter-protesters were responsible for any violence at Patriot Prayer rallies.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really important that we unite,鈥� Gibson said. 鈥淲e come together and have each other鈥檚 backs.鈥�

Will Johnson, who created Unite America First, a group that considers the Democratic Party to be 鈥渄omestic terrorists,鈥� told Gibson and Jones that people shouldn鈥檛 be afraid to go out wearing Trump paraphernalia.

鈥淲e are in a civil war,鈥� Johnson said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not a hot civil war, but we are in a war.鈥�

Whether the Gibson-Infowars alliance is one of convenience or the making of a long-term partnership is unknown.

But for the moment, the strange bedfellows appear to be getting along.
