Career
Lebron hosted the CourtTV law show Snap Judgment
Beginning in May 2007, Lebron replaced The Majority Report with Sam Seder on Air America Radio with a daily three-hour talk show. Seder claimed that Lebron's unpopularity with Air America's listeners led to the loss of most of Seder's audience within a year of assuming the timeslot, as well as the loss of two-thirds of the live affiliates and live streaming.[3]
Lebron also appeared in an episode of House of Cards (Season 4: Episode 11: Chapter 50).[7]
Promotion of conspiracy theories
Since losing his Air American show, Lebron shifted his politics to the right and re-established himself on right-wing conspiracy theorist for Alex Jones' InfoWars network, where he has used his show to promote conspiracy theories, such as birtherism claims about President Barack Obama, "The Storm", claims the government is involved in a cover-up of the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas mass shooting,[8] the 9/11 Truth movement,[9] the anti-vaccine movement,[10] and QAnon.[11]
Lebron has also regularly hosted conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, a member of the birther movement and promoter of QAnon conspiracy theories[12] and has interviewed a guest who has questioned official accounting of the December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[13]
Meeting with Trump
In August 2018, Lebron met with President Donald Trump at the White House and was photographed with Trump. Lebron stated that the two did not talk about the QAnon conspiracy theory that Lebron has helped to promote, but that "I think we all know he knows about it."[14][2]
