    He accused “oligarchs” like “Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates” of being in control of the country. In a series of outlandish comments, he claimed they are “arresting everybody” and that "our country is captured.

    “They are so used to wielding American power, of the country they’ve hijacked, like hijackers who take over an airplane,” Jones said. “They’re flying the American airplane into the building—like 9/11—that is Russia. And so I’m trying to stop that.”
