Speaker 3: You can win so interesting yesterday, Uh, Taco Bob. Do
Speaker 3: you know who Alex Jones is? Is that a singer?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, there's a singer that has a very plain hotel
Speaker 4: name like that. Alex Jones, uh has operated for many
Speaker 4: years and outfits a media empire called info Wars. Okay,
Speaker 4: have you ever heard of that info Wars? I'm not
Speaker 4: really media dude, I mean I work in in media,
Speaker 4: but you know other than that.
Speaker 3: Okay, let me try third one here. Have you heard
Speaker 3: of the Onion?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I know that source. Do you know what
Speaker 2: the Onion is?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a it's a like a website and they
Speaker 4: have a bunch of it's a satire. Yeah, I know
Speaker 4: the Onion. Yeah right.
Speaker 3: Alex Jones, for a little background here, deals with a
Speaker 3: lot of conspiracy theory, so he puts out there. He
Speaker 3: also sells nutritional supplements through his media empire. That's really
Speaker 3: the common denominators.
Speaker 2: Of his him. Well you probably know have you heard
Speaker 2: of Sandy Hook? Yeah? Oh no, he did not touch
Speaker 2: on Sandy Hook. Oh is that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: He had the Bejesus suit out of him because he
Speaker 3: was the uh, the big I know, claiming that the
Speaker 3: Sandy Hook massacre of all those kids and teachers was
Speaker 3: a false flag operation by the US government.
Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're talking about. It. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that was Sandy or whatever the hell his name is,
Speaker 2: Alex j Okay.
Speaker 3: He was sued and he owes millions and millions and
Speaker 3: millions of dollars to the families of the Sandy Hook victims.
Speaker 4: And rightfully so doesn't he do a radio show or
Speaker 4: something or.
Speaker 2: That's what Info Wars is his whole mind? I just
Speaker 2: I okay, bits and pieces.
Speaker 4: Bob has seen him up on the news where he's
Speaker 4: in front of a microphone, and when I see him
Speaker 4: talking crap about Sandy Hook, I go that guy needs
Speaker 4: to Anyway, The Onion.
Speaker 3: Bought Info Wars and all of its assets yesterday. Really,
Speaker 3: it was ordered it all be sold by a court
Speaker 3: to create revenue to pay some of the money that's
Speaker 3: owed to those families that the Onion and some other
Speaker 3: folks who chipped in to make this happen. Is probably
Speaker 3: perhaps the greatest irony you could ever have in a
Speaker 3: situation like this. You've got a guy who operates and
Speaker 3: deals in conspiracy theories. Primarily he's I'm not gonna lie here.
Speaker 3: He's covered some legitimate stuff, but he has out there
Speaker 3: views on some things and has caused a lot of issues.
Speaker 2: Sandy Hook is one of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he was literally shut down yesterday. It's not
Speaker 3: going to stop him from continuing to do his bit.
Speaker 3: He will still broadcast his brand of whatever you want
Speaker 3: to call it. But now the Onion owns all of
Speaker 3: the rights and physical property.
Speaker 2: Of that is something there.
