1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,520
I'm just gonna go for it. I'm just I'm not going for anything actually you're just gonna go for it. What are you feeling?

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,560
You know I am feeling like um

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,360
Let's do some good news. Let's keep the good news rolling. Okay

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,840
I'm glad you say keep the good news rolling because that means

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,960
Everything we've just been talking about is good news. It is. Oh, yeah. Here we go

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,520
I don't know if this is too mainstream actually this one's from cnn business. This is june 6 2024

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,960
It's a two minute read by Oliver jar. I love that they put it in minutes and they don't put it in amount of words

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,200
Yeah, I know word count

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,400
Do you feel a little pressure to meet that speed now that you said it?

10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,160
I kind of feel like they put a deadline on there like hey, you got to get in and get out

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,360
I know and anytime i'm being timed on something or reading next to somebody

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,480
I'm feeling that pressure because I don't think I'm a horrible reader

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,640
But I always finish slower than the other people

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,680
I don't know why I'm telling you guys all that I guess just remember when I said that I just keep talking when I shouldn't be saying things

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,760
That's me disclosing everything anyhow

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Alex Jones agrees to liquidate his assets to pay sandy hook families and move that would end his ownership of info wars

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Oh, man

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Nobody start the two minute timer now, but here we go right wing conspiracy theorist

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,400
Alex Jones on thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets agreeing to demands from the families of sandy hook victims

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,160
whom he owes more than 1.5 billion in damages over his lives about the

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,760
2012 school massacre if that is not good news. I love that number. There's no way info wars is worth that much

22
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,800
It's not he's also hitting a ton of money

23
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Would believe that he did that the seismic move paves the way for a future in which jones no longer owns info wars the

24
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Influential conspiracy empire he founded in the late 1990s. That's how long over the years

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Jones has not only used the media company to poison the public discourse with vile lies and conspiracy theories

26
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,960
But also to enrich himself to the tune of millions of dollars

27
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,520
Prior to thursday, jones had resisting converting his personal bankruptcy into a chapter seven liquidation

28
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,520
But facing mounting legal pressure

29
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,720
He reversed course and caved into the demands of the sandy hook families who have still not seen a penny from jones since juries in

30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,640
Connecticut and texas found him liable in 2022 for defamation and emotional distress

31
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:34,400
lawyers said in a filing that there was quote no reasonable prospect for a successful

32
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,920
Reorganization and quote and that continuing down the path would only result in additional expenses incurred by jones the legal maneuver

33
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,680
Ultimately means jones's ownership in the free speech system is going to get sold avi

34
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,600
motion bird an attorney who represented some of the sandy hook families told cnn on thursday night

35
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,920
referencing the parent company of info wars free speech systems

36
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Inverting the case to chapter seven will hasten the end of these bankruptcies and facilitate the liquidation of jones's assets

37
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:09,440
Which is the same reason we have moved to convert his company case to chapter seven christma

38
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:17,200
tie another attorney representing sandy hook families will see an m jones technically is not controlled the info wars business for some time

39
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,120
Given that free speech system has also filed for bankruptcy protection

40
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,840
The company's business has thus been under the supervision of a court appointed

41
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:32,080
restructuring officer a hearing is scheduled for next friday to determine the fate of free speech systems bankruptcy

42
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,600
But regardless of what happens in that case thursday's legal move sets the stage for a court appointed

43
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,160
trustee to liquidate jones's personal assets which includes his stake in info wars

44
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Liquidation of jones's assets does not mean that info wars will cease to exist several outcomes are possible

45
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,200
The court appointed trustee could sell the business to another owner for instance a representative for jones did not immediately

46
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,640
respond to a request for comment thursday night end article

47
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,880
I love when they add that in articles that means they sent out that email right before they posted it just to cover their app

48
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:11,120
It does it says immediately which means they sent the email and then they posted it

49
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240
I don't disagree with that. It's a feel-good article

50
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,160
It is if you want to learn more about what's all going on here again

51
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:27,520
The podcast knowledge fight is specifically about alex jones and info wars and debunking and just following the trajectory of everything that's going on

52
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,680
episode 9 30

53
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,760
particularly is where he gets really drunk on air and

54
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Talks about when he realized that they're going to force the sale of free speech systems free speech service fss

55
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,640
I can never remember free speech something. Yeah, it should be noted more good news here. Chelsea

56
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,680
The 1.5 billion that he owes the sandy hook families. It is not

57
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Dischargeable debt in a bankruptcy. So even though he's declared bankruptcy. He still owes them 1.5 billion dollars

58
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,360
That is even more good news. I love that and especially he made so much money off of this good

59
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Yeah, and if you've heard that this is an injustice and that alex jones was done bad by what happened here

60
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,640
You need to go listen to the formulaic objection episodes of knowledge fight

61
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:23,040
They are breaking down the depositions in the alex jones cases where you actually get to hear everybody involved on the info wars

62
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,960
sides get questioned on what happened and my god

63
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,640
It just opens your eyes so much about how awful of human beings they are

64
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,440
Oh, okay. Well, that's good to know glad this really opened it up to more info from them

65
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,120
Yeah, and you know alex jones knew this was coming too because around the start of june

66
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,840
Instead of telling people to buy supplements from their website

67
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,080
He started telling them to go to his dad's website to go buy supplements from him

68
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,400
So he's trying to avoid money coming to him that would have to go to the sandy hook families

69
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:59,440
But weirdly enough it came up in episodes of the formulaic objection where they're trying to figure out corporate structure alex jones's dad

70
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,320
He's a dentist by trade, but he's involved in info wars. He owns a company called pqpr

71
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,640
I believe but alex jones owns 80% of that company through a trust

72
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,080
So he's just trying to hide money somewhere else and i'm fairly certain is going to get caught and is that illegal

73
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,040
It's illegal to hide money for bankruptcy and if that's all he's trying to do he's in deep shit

74
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Yeah, but yeah, there's going to be a lot coming up in the next little while

75
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,160
I'm very curious to see how it goes and especially if there's going to be an auction off for say like the

76
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,360
internet site info wars so that you can get that address

77
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,200
We want it. No, we couldn't afford it

78
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,080
But if you want to buy it for somebody the people at knowledge fight are trying to put a group together to buy it for them

79
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,000
I could get more behind that than us. We don't need it. They probably would like it more

80
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Yeah, it's okay. I was our feel good episode for the day

81
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,600
Yeah, and I probably just gave you at least 48 hours of podcasts to listen to as you heard

82
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:58,560
There's at least 930 episodes so get listening if you want to if not, we'll see you in 48 hours for our show. Bye
