>>> THERE WAS BAD NEWS RECENTLY FOR EXTREME RIGHT WING
CONSPIRACY THEORIST AND BATH
SALTS SPOKES MODEL ALEX JONES.
IT LOOKS LIKE HIS EBB SITE INFO
WARS JUST LOST THEIR WAR ON
INFO.
INFO. >> ALEX JONES IS IN TROUBLE AND
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A SPECIAL ON
WHY THAT MATTERS AND WHILE IT
MAY SEEM LIKE PEOPLE ARE GETTING
AWAY WITH A LOT OF WRONGS, THERE
ARE SIGN THIS IS SYSTEM IS
WORKING TO HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE
FOR HIS LIES, HIS FRAUDS AND HIS
ALLEGED DEFAMATION, JONES IS A
MEDIA FIGURE KNOWN FOR -- CONSPI
HE IS NOT A JOURNALIST, WHICH IS
AN IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE
IMPERSONATES ONE AND TRIES TO
EXPLOIT THE FRAMEWORK AND ACCESS
OF THE FREE PRESS FOR HIS
THEATRICS AND LIES SO JONES
WILL, FOR EXAMPLE, AMBUSH A
PRESS AVAILABILITY FOR REPORTERS
AS HE DID LAST WEEK ON THE HILL
WITH SENATOR MARCO RUBIO IN
ORDER TO HIJACK IT AND TRY TO
STOKE A CONFRONTATION.
>> DON’T TOUCH ME AGAIN, MAN.
>> I JUST PATTED YOU NICELY.
>> I DON’T KNOW YOU, MAN, I
DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET
ARRESTED, I’LL TAKE CARE OF IT
MYSELF.
MYSELF. >> HE’LL BEAT ME UP.
YOU ARE LITERALLY LIKE A
GANGSTER THUG.
GANGSTER THUG. >> YOU CAN SEE THE OFTEN
PROJECTION AND TROLLING THERE.
JONES TRYING TO START A FIGHT
AND THEN ACCUSING THE SENATOR OF
BEING A THUG.
WE’RE NOT AIRING THAT CLIP
TONIGHT THE WAY JONES WOULD
WANT -- TO STOKE HIS OWN
PERSONALLY IMAGINED FIGHT WITH
SENATOR RUBIO, WE’RE AIRING IT
TO SHOW WHY JONES IS A FRAUD AND
TO DRAW A CLEAR LINE ABOUT TRY
TO DEAL WITH HIM.
>> YOU THINK I’M LIKE OH,
SHOCKED BY IT BECAUSE I’M UP
HERE BASHING IT BECAUSE I DON’T
LIKE GAY PEOPLE.
I DON’T LIKE THEM PUTTING
CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURN
THE FRIGGING FROGS GAY!
I’M SICK OF THIS CRAP.
[ SCREAMING ]
HILLARY, THERE’S NO EVEN THE
SAME UNIVERSE.
SAME UNIVERSE. I MEAN, SHE IS AN ABJECT
PSYCHOPATH I CANIC FROM HELD.
PEOPLE AROUND HER HAVE SAID THEY
THINK SHE’S DEMON POSSESSED.
>> ALEX JONES MATTERS
POLITICALLY BECAUSE THAT KIND OF
RHETORIC HAS MAYBE SURPRISINGLY
TO SOME PEOPLE FOUND A BIG HOME.
HE’S NOT A RANDOM VOICE WITH NO
ACCESS TO POWER.
HIS WEB SITE DRAWING OVER A
MILLION VISITS LAST MONTH.
HIS SHOW ONCE TOPPED TWO MILLION
SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE, MORE ON
HOW THAT’S CHANGING IN A MOMENT,
AND HIS MEDIA EMPIRE IS EARNING
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND GIVING
HIM A DIRECT AUDIENCE WITH, YES,
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP. JONES EVEN CLAIMS TRUMP
PERSONALLY CALLED HIM AFTER THE
ELECTION TO THANK HIM FOR HIS
HELP AND TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE
TOOK THE UNPRECEDENTED STEP OF
GIVING PRESS CREDENTIALS TO
JONES’ OUT
JONES’ OUT JONES’OUT LET INFO WARS.
A "WASHINGTON POST" COLUMNIST
CALLED THAT MOVE DISGUSTING.
AS A CANDIDATE, TRUMP WENT
DIRECTLY TO ALEX JONES TO APPEAL
TO HIM AND HIS AUDIENCE,
PRAISING JONES’ AMAZING
REPUTATION.
REPUTATION. >> ASSOCIATED PRESS AND OTHERS
ARE REPORTING THAT IT’S A SECRET
DEAL WITH TURKEY WITH THE
GERMANS WITH MERKEL, THE
ADMITTED SOCIALIST, TO BRING IN
MILLIONS OF RADICAL ISLAMISTS.
YOU SAID MONTHS AGO BOMB THE OIL
OF ISIS AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
LAUGHED AND YOU’RE IN TROUBLE
FOR SAYING THE SKY IS BLUE.
>> WELL, I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
I WAS RIGHT IN SAYING IN A BOOK
THAT I WROTE, YOU COVERED IT
NICELY, APPRECIATE IT.
I WANT TO FINISH BY SAYING YOUR
REPUTATION IS AMAZING.
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN, YOU
WILL BE VERY, VERY IMPRESSED, I
HOPE AND I THINK WE’LL BE
SPEAKING A LOT.
A YEAR INTO OFFICE YOU’LL BE
SAYING WOW.
SAYING WOW. >> SO ALEX JONES MATTERS BECAUSE
OF THAT POLITICAL INFLUENCE AND
THE SUPPORT FROM THE TRUMP WHITE
HOUSE AND HIS OPERATION POSES A
CHALLENGE FOR INSTITUTIONS THAT
TYPICALLY WELCOME MORE VOICES TO
THE TABLE.
THE TABLE. LIKE THE PRESS OR THE TECH
COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY. WE’RE REPORTING BECAUSE THERE IS
PROGRESS IN THE EFFORT TO HOLD
JONES ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS LIES
AND TRYING TO DEAL WITH HIS
DEFINITION.
DEFINITION. IT’S IMPORTANT TO GET THIS RIGHT
RIGHT.
RIGHT. IT’S IMPORTANT.
IT’S IMPORTANT. RIGHT NOW JONES IS UNDER PUBLIC
PRESSURE THAT COULD CONSTRAIN
HIS INFLUENCE.
HIS INFLUENCE. AS THE "NEW YORK TIMES" IS
REPORTING.
REPORTING. THERE IS, OF COURSE, A RIGHT TO
SPEECH IN AMERICA BUT THERE IS
NO RIGHT TO DEFAME OR DEFRAUD
AND SEVERAL OF THE GRIEVING
FAMILIES IN SANDY HOOK HAVE BEEN
LEADING THE WAY, ARGUING ENOUGH
IS ENOUGH.
IS ENOUGH. THEY ARE SUING JONES FOR HIS
ALLEGED DEFAMATION AND HIS ROLE
IN PROVOKING PUBLIC THREATS
AGAINST THEM.
AGAINST THEM. THEY’RE ASKING COURTS TO MAKE
HIM STOP AND PUNISH HIM FOR
CLAIMS HE’S MADE THAT WE ARE NOT
GOING TO DIGNIFY BY REPEATING
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. WHAT WE WILL REPEAT IS VERONICA
DELA ROE SAA.
DE LAROSE ROSA.
SHE LOST HER SON AND SHE’S
CALLING FOR JONES’ RECKONING.
>> IF THERE’S A CHOINT MADE OVER
A RELENTLESS PERIOD OF YEARS TO
PEDDLE FALSEHOODS AND TO PROFIT
FROM THEM THEN THERE HAS TO BE A
DAY OF RECKONING.
>> A COURT IS GIVING THE GREEN
LIGHT FOR THAT RECKONING.
THAT SUIT WILL GO FORWARD AND
TECH COMPANIES, MEANWHILE,
CRACKING DOWN ON JONES,
DETERMINING HE’S MORE OF A LIAR
AND ALLEGED DEFAMER SO TWITTER
ISSUED A PERMANENT BAN.
APPLE CUTTING HIS SHOW FROM ITS
LUCRATIVE APP STORE AND GOOGLE
CUTTING HIM FROM YOUTUBE AND
FACEBOOK ISSUING A BAN.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES" ESTIMATES
JONES COULD LOSE MILLIONS FROM
THOSE BANS AND JONES HAS REPLIED
BY ASKING TRUMP FOR HELP.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, AMERICA KNOWS
YOU’RE REAL.
YOU’RE REAL. IF YOU COME OUT BEFORE THE
MIDTERMS AND MAKE THE
CENSORSHIP, T BIG ISSUE AND THEM
TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION,
TRYING TO STOP YOU AND EVERY
AMERICAN FROM HAVING THEIR
SPEECH BY DEFAMING ME, LYING
ABOUT WHAT I’VE DONE, SOROS
FINANCING FAKE LAWSUITS AND
DEPLATFORMING ME.
DEPLATFORMING ME. >> THE PART ABOUT DEFLAT FORMING
IS TRUE AND WHILE TRUMP ISN’T
CITING JONES, HE LAUNCHED A BIG
ATTACK ON TECH FOR, YES, HOW
THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE VOICES.
THAT’S A THEME DON JR. HIT ON IN
A NEW INTERVIEW.
>> YOU HAVE GOOGLE THAT CONTROLS
91 AND CHANGE PERCENT OF THE
SEARCHES.
SEARCHES. IF THEY’RE ONLY FILTERING
CONTENT FROM ONE SIDE AND NOT
DOING IT ON THE OTHER OR
PRETENDING TO DO IT ON THE OTHER
AND IT’S HAPPENING TIME AND TIME
AGAIN AND THERE’S ONLY ONE SIDE
COMPLAINING ABOUT IT HAPPENING.
>> EXPERTS HAVE NOT DETECTED
THAT KIND OF DELIBERATE BIAS IN
GOOGLE’S SEARCHES, BUT THIS
CRACKDOWN IS HURTING JONES’
REVENUE.
REVENUE. HE USES THE INTERNET TO SELL
ITEMS RANGING FROM CONSPIRACY
BUMPER STICKERS TO QUESTIONABLE
HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS WHICH HE THEN
TOUTS IN HIS PROGRAM.
>> THIS PHOTO WAS JUST TAKEN A
FEW DAYS AGO.
AND IT WASN’T JUST THAT MY
WEIGHT LOSS ACCELERATED, MY
MUSCLE MASS INCREASED.
MY STAMINA, MY ENERGY LEVELS
EXPLODED.
EXPLODED. SUPER MALE HAS THE KEY
CONCENTRATED NATURAL COMPOUNDS.
>> THAT IS A SPECIAL KEY TO
JONES ’EM PYRE THAT GENERATES
OVER $5 MILLION IN REVENUE OVER
JUST ONE YEAR BACK IN 2014.
IF THE PUBLIC LEGAL AND
FINANCIAL CRACKDOWN ON JONES
WORKS, WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW, WE’LL BE ABLE TO SEE IN
PUBLIC IF HE STICKS TO HIS
CLAIMED POLITICS OR LOSES THAT
APPETITE WHEN IT’S HARDER TO
SELL HIS SUPPLEMENTS.
NOW, THERE’S NOTHING NEW ABOUT
LIARS AND FAKERS TRYING TO
HUSTLE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC,
TRYING TO HUSTLE ALL OF US WHILE
ACCUSING EVERYONE ELSE OF FAKE
NEWS.
NEWS. BUT WE ARE DEALING WITH
TROUBLING NEW DYNAMICS HERE.
THERE’S THE INTERNET WHICH CAN
AMPLIFY THOSE LIES AND AN
ADMINISTRATION IN POWER EAGER TO
SUPPORT THEM WHICH MAKES IT MORE
VITAL FOR ALL OF US TO CONFRONT
THIS AND SET STANDARDS.
IF YOU WATCH THIS PROGRAM
REGULARLY, YOU MAY KNOW WE TRY
TO TAKE OUR JOURNALISTIC
OBLIGATIONS SERIOUSLY WHICH
INCLUDES REPORTING AND HEARING
FROM ALL SIDES IN THE STORYIES W
COVER WHICH IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM SIDES
THAT MAY BE WIDELY OPPOSED.
BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN INCLUDING
LIARS WHO ARE TRYING TO
HABITUALLY EXPLOIT THE SYSTEM,
TO DEFAME INNOCENT PEOPLE OR
TORMENT GRIEVING PARENTS OR
FRAUDULENTLY POSE AS A KIND OF
JOURNALISTIC TROJAN HORSE TO
COME DESTROY REPORTING AND FACTS
AND DIGNITY FROM THE INSIDE.
FREE SPEECH IS VERY IMPORTANT,
IT MEANS WE SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK
TWICE BEFORE WE HAVE THE
GOVERNMENT OR COURTS PUNISH
SPEAK SPEECH AND I THINK THAT
SAME SPIRIT MEANS PUBLISHERS
SHOULD ALSO LOOK TWICE BEFORE
THEY KICK UNPOPULAR PEOPLE OUT.
BUT THERE ARE CASES WHERE YOU
CAN LOOK TWICE, YOU CAN LOOK
CLOSER AND THE CLOSER YOU LOOK
THE STRONGER THE CASE IS.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CASES AND
