Alex Jones CAUGHT: "Do You Know What Perjury Is?"
Alex Jones is getting utterly humiliated in the trial to determine how much money the Infowars host owes Sandy Hook victims’ family members he defamed. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Jones’s incompetent defense attorney sent a digital copy of all of Jones’s text messages and phone communications to the plaintiff’s lawyers. During the trial, Alex made claims that he wasn’t texting anyone about Sandy Hook and all along the plaintiff’s counsel knew that that wasn’t true. Attorney Mark Bankston confronted Jones about the lying and how Alex claimed to have searched “Sandy Hook” in his phone records and found zero matches. Jones had to twist himself into a pretzel trying to answer the lawyer’s questions, while at the same time seeming baffled that his own attorney would make such a blunder. Finally the line of the day delivered by Bankston was, “you know what perjury is, right?” implying that Jones was clearly guilty of it. Alex taking the stand in this trial clearly didn’t do him any favors and there’s a good chance he’ll deservingly have to pay out a massive judgement to the defamed Sandy Hook family members.
Trump Explodes, Posts Uncontrollably to Truth Social
Donald Trump went on a social media tirade yesterday on his platform Truth Social about the 2022 midterm primaries and his endorsement record. The former president celebrated wins by people like Trumpist Senate candidate Blake Masters while poking fun at Rusty Bowers losing his primary after testifying against Trump in the January 6th hearings. One post claimed, “BIG, HISTORIC WINS for Trump-endorsed candidates across the Country last night! Now 15-0 in Senate primaries, Perfect Records in Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, and Missouri. Congratulations to our MAGA Candidates!” The truth about Trump’s endorsement record is a lot more mixed. For the most part, he’s just been endorsing incumbents and candidates who already had a strong lead in the polls. When one of his candidates loses, he just says it’s because they didn’t back him strongly enough or he simply ignores the race altogether.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Didn't Kill Al-Qaeda Leader Because He Didn't Recognize the Name
According to an NBC News report from back in 2020, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda leader killed this week by a drone strike ordered by Joe Biden, could have been killed by Donald Trump but Trump didn’t go after him because he didn’t recognize al-Zawahiri’s name. Instead, Trump wanted to go after Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden because according to a Pentagon official, “that was the only name he knew.” Hamza was well known at the time and seen as an emerging figure but wasn’t thought to be planning any attacks. This story goes to Donald Trump’s self-obsession which he always put over the interests of the country. Even if the intelligence community believed al-Zawahiri to be a worthy target, Trump didn’t see anything personally beneficial in killing him, so he decided to skip the idea altogether.
From yesterday’s show:
Trumpist Republican Claims Fraud Before Election Day
The race for the Republican nomination in the Arizona governor’s race still hasn’t been decided but with 82% of the vote reported, Trumpist Kari Lake is leading Karrin Taylor Robson, 46.2% to 44.4%. In true Trumpian fashion, Lake declared victory even thought there’s plenty of votes outstanding and it’s conceivable that her opponent could catch up. Also taking a page from Trump’s playbook, Lake is arguing that the election is being rigged and the reason she’s not pulling ahead with a landslide victory is because of voter fraud. This led to a reporter confronting Kari about this very issue, asking, “at what point does Kari Lake stop and say, ‘am I undermining America’s faith in our elections?’” Lake responded by rambling about voter irregularities and fraud in the election, the specifics about which she could not articulate. What’s incredible about Kari’s claims is that this is a Republican primary, so the voter fraud conspiracy now extends well beyond Democrats being the perpetrators and it’s now supposedly happening within the ranks of the GOP.
