<v Speaker 2>No?

52
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 4>No, there's a singer that has a very plain hotel

53
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 4>name like that. Alex Jones, uh has operated for many

54
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 4>years and outfits a media empire called info Wars. Okay,

55
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 4>have you ever heard of that info Wars? I'm not

56
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 4>really media dude, I mean I work in in media,

57
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 4>but you know other than that.

58
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let me try third one here. Have you heard

59
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 3>of the Onion?

60
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, I know that source. Do you know what

61
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the Onion is?

62
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a it's a like a website and they

63
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 4>have a bunch of it's a satire. Yeah, I know

64
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 4>the Onion. Yeah right.

65
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 3>Alex Jones, for a little background here, deals with a

66
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 3>lot of conspiracy theory, so he puts out there. He

67
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>also sells nutritional supplements through his media empire. That's really

68
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>the common denominators.

69
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Of his him. Well you probably know have you heard

70
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of Sandy Hook? Yeah? Oh no, he did not touch

71
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>on Sandy Hook. Oh is that? Yeah?

72
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 3>He had the Bejesus suit out of him because he

73
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 3>was the uh, the big I know, claiming that the

74
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 3>Sandy Hook massacre of all those kids and teachers was

75
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 3>a false flag operation by the US government.

76
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>I know exactly what you're talking about. It. I didn't

77
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 2>know that was Sandy or whatever the hell his name is,

78
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Alex j Okay.

79
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 3>He was sued and he owes millions and millions and

80
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 3>millions of dollars to the families of the Sandy Hook victims.

81
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 4>And rightfully so doesn't he do a radio show or

82
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 4>something or.

83
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 2>That's what Info Wars is his whole mind? I just

84
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 2>I okay, bits and pieces.

85
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 4>Bob has seen him up on the news where he's

86
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 4>in front of a microphone, and when I see him

87
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 4>talking crap about Sandy Hook, I go that guy needs

88
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 4>to Anyway, The Onion.

89
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 3>Bought Info Wars and all of its assets yesterday. Really,

90
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 3>it was ordered it all be sold by a court

91
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 3>to create revenue to pay some of the money that's

92
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>owed to those families that the Onion and some other

93
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 3>folks who chipped in to make this happen. Is probably

94
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 3>perhaps the greatest irony you could ever have in a

95
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>situation like this. You've got a guy who operates and

96
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 3>deals in conspiracy theories. Primarily he's I'm not gonna lie here.

97
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 3>He's covered some legitimate stuff, but he has out there

98
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 3>views on some things and has caused a lot of issues.

99
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Sandy Hook is one of them.

100
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so he was literally shut down yesterday. It's not

101
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 3>going to stop him from continuing to do his bit.

102
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 3>He will still broadcast his brand of whatever you want

103
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 3>to call it. But now the Onion owns all of

104
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 3>the rights and physical property.

105
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Of that is something there.

106
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>I believe we have a late entry for headline of

107
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 3>the Week competition here. I don't want to unil out

108
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 3>really declare this the winner, but I think it's gonna

109
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 3>be hard to argue.

110
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 4>I have the other two written down fully well kind

111
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 4>of summarize, so I will we'll compare.

112
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.160

<v Speaker 4>armpit hair. I think it's armpit hair. It's the armpit hair.

00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 4>three days a planet fitness or armpit hair causes acts.

161
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 3>Involving a fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen year old. Imagine these

162
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 3>guys trying to explain to their parents, who pay the insurance.

163
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Why the car's wrecked?

164
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 4>I have I have a teen or two on insurance

165
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 4>and good night you had it.

166
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 2>It's expensive.

167
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 3>Finally, there's this and more on this on our jar

168
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 3>our Facebook page. Four people in Los Angeles are facing

169
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 3>insurance fraud charges after claiming a bear got into their

170
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 3>twenty rolls Royce and destroyed it. They provided video of

171
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 3>the bear. We fall seen video of bears getting into

172
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 3>cars before and ripping apart the inside, which is exactly

173
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 3>what they provided here. Conveniently to the insurance company in

174
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 3>a previous insurance company with a different vehicle where they

175
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 3>tried to pull.

176
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 2>This in the car for the bear.

177
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 3>The bear was somebody in a bear costume.

178
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.679
<v Speaker 4>Okay, if you had stuck garbage in your car and

179
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 4>left a window down, that I would get that could

180
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 4>maybe passage, not a person.

181
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a video of this? Yes? I thought

182
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I heard you say Facebook. I'm looking.

<v Speaker 3>What they were outfitted not only with the bear costume,

187
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.080
<v Speaker 3>but metal hooks that are used for shredding meat as

188
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 3>the bear claws to really rip up the inside of

189
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 3>the vehicle on repair so they could try to cash

190
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 3>an insurance check.

191
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.120
