Hello everybody and happy Wednesday. You might notice we're a little bit early today and it's because I have an appointment and I got to get out of here at about 330. So I'm so sorry guys. We're ruining your schedule.

Yeah, when it takes six hours to get your hair done. I got I got to fit it in the schedule somewhere ladies and gentlemen now let's get into the stories for today. We saw this just recently go out about two hours ago. Alex Jones has been ordered to pay nearly one billion dollars in Sandy Hook defamation trial. You know I'm going to be honest I've really never watched Alex Jones either of you. No big and

I've just seen the memes where he takes his shirt off and runs around and says the third turn of the turn. I've seen that I've seen that was at a good impression of Alex Jones. I don't watch him so you guys let me know. The only impression I have is just we are so broke.

But other than that, you don't know much about him other than he's like for this pretty he's probably the farthest of the right people on. Yeah, I guess I don't know I don't

I think of him as more like just kind of cookie conspiracy theorist than like right winger, but I don't know maybe I really genuinely don't know. He does sort of entertain I guess the outskirts arguments on some of these issues and has been known. I know a lot of people do like the hashtag Alex Jones was right because he is. He delves into his own maybe conspiratorial takes or his own predictions.

And they were basically living in one giant ongoing conspiracy theory. It's about like the last couple of years so inevitably I guess you're going to you know you're going to be right.

Clock's right twice a day as they say right right right. So let's read this article and just get into some of the background behind this so he's ordered to pay nearly $1 billion in Sandy Hook defamation trial.

Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $965 million in damages to the plaintiffs of the defamation trial.

Surrounding his lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting the 15 plaintiffs of the case included the relatives of eight Sandy Hook victims as well as former FBI agent suing Jones.

A Connecticut jury reached a unanimous verdict Wednesday afternoon before the judge read aloud a detailed report of the various damages owed to each plaintiff by Jones and his media company free speech systems.

How ironic Jones was found liable for violating Connecticut's unfair trade practices act by using lies about the Sandy Hook massacre to sell products on his website under the law.

There is no limit on punitive damages. So to the best of my knowledge after the Sandy Hook shooting Jones sort of took to the internet and used his platform to talk about a possible conspiracy where he stated that much of this was fake.

But several of the parents were quote crisis actors end quote and as you can imagine.

That doesn't go over well for people. It's a really big accusation.

Yeah, it's a very big accusation and it's let's just be honest. It's a reprehensible thing to do and me the biggest takeaway from this is

place to you could games win super prizes. I mean you if you're there's one thing to say you know well be if I'm a free speech absolutist but there's another thing when you are defaming someone when you're damaging their life the reputation there.

Their character you're sending harassment after them all that type of stuff and there are legal parameters we set around that type of speech and you can be on the hook for for those damages and this is just a case that seems to be.

Where justice is being issued.

Yeah, it's interesting. So here's another quote here Jones called the Sandy Hook tragedy quote as fake as a three dollar bill and quote.
