Alex Stein

Alexander Stein (born October 10, 1986) is an American comedian and YouTuber known for disrupting local government meetings and confronting politicians and other individuals. He was the host of Prime Time with Alex Stein on Glenn Beck's Blaze Media network from 2023 to 2025.

Early life

Stein was born to Kelly Stein and Rhett Stein, a bail bondsman. Alex Stein told the Jewish Journal that he did not get a bar mitzvah "or any of the cool Jewish stuff as a kid". After high school, he attended Louisiana State University.

Stein became known for disrupting local government meetings, sometimes virtually, during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, he rapped about the Russo-Ukrainian War at a city council meeting in Plano, Texas. D Magazine described Stein's city council pranks as "mostly harmless, if at times in poor taste". In December 2022, Stein and a half-dressed man he called his "wife's boyfriend" broke into the lobby of Barstool Sports and were forcefully removed by security.

Stein was a candidate for the Board of Trustees of the Highland Park Independent School District in Texas, in an election scheduled for May 6, 2023. He received 1% of the vote, according to unofficial results.

In June 2023, Stein confronted female basketball player Brittney Griner and her Phoenix Mercury teammates, recording himself yelling at her as she walked through the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In July 2023, Stein was scheduled to make his professional boxing debut against Iraqi TikToker MoDeen on the undercard of MF & DAZN: X Series 008 in Nashville, Tennessee, but the bout was called off after a press conference where Stein threw hot dogs at MoDeen, who is Muslim, and yelled "you love pork, right?". Stein later told The Sun that the hot dogs were turkey, not pork.

On February 8, 2023, Stein debuted Prime Time with Alex Stein on the American conservative network Blaze Media.

In July 2024, he was kicked out of the Republican National Convention after he disrupted an interview. In one incident that Stein shared on his own social media, he tried drawing pink graffiti saying "October 7", but genuine protestors washed it away. He sometimes used "Gays for Palestine" as his slogan, and the name of his parody organization. A similar phrase was used by Benjamin Netanyahu in a speech where he said "Gays for Gaza might as well hold up signs saying chickens for KFC".

In February 2026, Stein disrupted a Plano City Council meeting, appearing in an Indian outfit mocking the culture, incorrectly stating that they eat cow dung. This caused several Indian American citizens to walk out in protest.

Political views

Stein's politics have been described by critics as right-wing, and alt-right. and a centrist. Stein has said he favors socializing the healthcare system. He often refers to himself as "PrimeTime#99".

Stein's mother, Kelly Stein, died of COVID-19 in October 2021. Stein's father said Stein's experience of watching his mother get extubated "traumatized him" and "totally broke him down". Stein said the hospital's use of the antiviral drug remdesivir caused his mother's death.
