>>> OKAY, I KNOW IT CAN SOMETIMES SEEM LIKE THE RIGHT HAVE THESE SUPERPOWERS WHERE THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING, BUT RECENTLY WE HAVE SEEN A REMARKABLE STRING OF ACCOUNTABILITY. TODAY, RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORIST ALEX JONES AGREED TO LIQUIDATE HIS PERSONAL ASSETS TO PAY THE FAMILIES OF SANDY HOOK VICTIMS THE $1.5 BILLION HE OWES THEM IN DAMAGES AFTER SPREADING LIES ABOUT THE 2012 SCHOOL MASSACRE. A MOVE THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY END HIS OWNERSHIP OF THE INFO WARS COMPANY. IT COMES JUST DAYS AFTER JONES OPENLY SOBBED ON HIS CONSPIRACY LADEN BROADCAST, BASELESSLY CLAIMING THE DEEP STATE WAS TRYING TO SHUT HIM DOWN. >> I JUST WANT TO STOP THESE PEOPLE. THEY GOT TO BE STOPPED. WE HAVE TO STOP THEM. >> NO, ALEX, IT'S NOT THE DEEP STATE. IT'S THE FAMILIES OF MURDERS BABIES WHO A COURT SAID YOU DEFAMED. THERE'S ALSO STEVE BANNON WHO AS YOU MAY RECALL SAID THIS THE DAY BEFORE THE JANUARY 6th INSURRECTION. >> LISTEN, ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE TOMORROW. JUST UNDERSTAND THIS. ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE TOMORROW. >> WELL, AFTER DEFYING A SUBPOENA AND REFUSING TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ABOUT THAT STATEMENT, BANNON WAS ORDERED YESTERDAY TO REPORT TO PRISON BY JULY 1st TO SERVE A FOUR-MONTH SENTENCE. JUST LIKE FORMER WHITE HOUSE AIDE PETER NAVARRO. THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE LONG LIST OF TRUMP ATTORNEYS, AIDES, AND ASSOCIATES THAT ARE FACING REPERCUSSIONS FOR THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE BIG LIE. RUDY GIULIANI LOST HIS LAW LICENSE, OWES NEARLY $150 MILLION FOR DEFAMING GEORGIA POLL WORKERS AND JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WAS SERVED AN INDICTMENT IN THE ARIZONA ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AT HIS 80th BIRTHDAY PARTY. ALSO FACING CHARGES IN ARIZONA FOR ALLEGEDLY CONSPIRING TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION IS TRUMP'S FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF, MARK MEADOWS. TODAY, HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO THOSE CHARGES. ON TOP OF THAT, 2000 MULES THE CONSPIRACY RIDDEN MOVIE ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD CREATED BY DINESH D'SOUZA HAS BEEN PULLED FROM ALL PLATFORMS. AND OF COURSE, THERE'S DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF, WHO LAST WEEK WAS FOUND GUILTY BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS ON 34 FELONY COUNTS. AND WHILE SOME OF THESE ARE STATE CASES, SOME ARE FEDERAL. IT'S AN IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT NO MATTER HOW SLOW IT MAY SOMETIMES FEEL, THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE ARE IN FACT TURNING. AND THE TRUMP TO PRISON PIPELINE IS REAL. I'M JOINED BY DAVID JOLLY, FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN WHO IS NO LONGER AFFILIATED WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHO IS ALSO AN MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST. HE IS AFFILIATED WITH US WHICH WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR. DAVID, I WANTED TO DO THIS TODAY BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, THERE'S A KIND OF DESPAIR THAT HAS SET IN THINKING TRUMP IS SUPERMAN, BUT HE'S NOT. HE'S BEEN INVOLVED IN 4,000 LAWSUITS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN HIS LIFETIME. EVERY TIME HE'S GONE TO COURT IN NEW YORK, HE'S LOST. YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S THE CASE WHERE HE OWES $500 MILLION, WHETHER IT'S THE E. JEAN CARROLL CASE, OR THE FELONY COUNTS, AND LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE HE'S LEFT DISBARRED AND JAILED. YOUR THOUGHTS. >> JOY, IT'S HARD SOMETIMES TO RECOGNIZE THIS, BUT YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. GIVEN ALL OF THE CHALLENGES THAT DONALD TRUMP AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM HAVE THROWN AT OUR REPUBLIC, AT AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, ONE OF THE THEMES OF HIS FIRST TERM AND THEREAFTER IS THAT THE COURTS LARGELY HELD. CERTAINLY IMPERFECTLY, THERE ARE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH DELAYS IN PROSECUTIONS, WITH CERTAIN DECISIONS. WE'RE WATCHING THEM RIGHT NOW, BUT WE CAN SEE EVIDENCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES. AND I APPRECIATE THAT IN YOUR LEAD-IN YOU POINT OUT THE VICTIMS IN EACH OF THESE CASES. FOR ALEX JONES, THE VICTIMS WERE THE FAMILIES OF SANDY HOOK. 26 PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THE JUDGMENT WAS ON THEIR BEHALF. FOR STEVE BANNON, THE VICTIM WAS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE HE KNEW STUFF ABOUT JANUARY 6th, REFUSED TO COOPERATE. SAME WITH MARK MEADOWS, SUPPORTING A BOSS WHO WAS TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION. RUDY GIULIANI, ON DOWN THE LINE. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ENGAGED IN CRIMES AGAINST SOMEBODY. AND SURE, SOME OF THE VERDICTS WERE CIVIL, BECAUSE THAT'S THE BEST THAT JUSTICE COULD UPHOLD, BUT JUSTICE HAS DELIVERED. I DON'T THINK THERE'S MANY TEARS FOR PEOPLE TONIGHT, HOWEVER MANY ALEX JONES HAS, NOBODY IS WASTING THEIR TEARS ON THAT GUY. >> YOU KNOW, AND YOU MENTIONED THE TEARS BUT I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE POINT. THE LEVEL OF SELF-VICTIMHOOD ON THE RIGHT, THE WAY THAT THESE PRIVILEGED MEN, MOST OF WHOM ARE WEALTHY, WELL OFF, STEVE BANNON, EVEN THOUGH HE DRESSES LIKE A SLOB, HE'S ACTUALLY VERY RICH. HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT, BUT HE IS. THESE MEN HAVE MADE MILLIONS. ALEX JONES IS MAKING SOMETHING LIKE $5 MILLION A MONTH TORTURING THESE FAMILIES WHOSE BABIES WERE KILLED. HE THOUGHT IT WAS FUN AND IT WAS LUCRATIVE TO TORTURE THEM. NOW WHEN HE HAS TO FACE THE MUSIC, HE'S CRYING AND EXPECTING PITY. BANNON IS LIKE NO ONE CAN HOLD ME. SOMEONE CAN HOLD YOU, THE YALE. YOU'RE BARELY OUT IN TIME TO VOTE EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT. THEY FEEL SO SORRY FOR THEMSELVES. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. TO ME, THAT'S WHAT FILTERED OUT TO THEIR BASE. THEY FEEL SELF-PITY RATHER THAN PRIDE IN A COUNTRY THEY SUPPOSEDLY LOVE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. THESE ARE LARGELY WEAK LITTLE PEOPLE WHO EXERCISE A CRUEL ARROGANCE TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR OWN INSECURITIES AND VANITIES. THEY FOUND A PERFECT SUPPORT NETWORK IN DONALD TRUMP AS THEIR LEADER. BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHO HE IS AS WELL. ALWAYS THE VICTIM, AND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS, HE WAS NOT PRIVILEGED, HE'S THE VICTIM, ET CETERA, ET CETERA. IT'S ALL WHAT YOU CAN'T SAY ON TV, AND IT MAKES THESE MOMENTS OF ACCOUNTABILITY SO RICH, JOY, SO RICH. I MEAN, THERE ARE FEWER DESPICABLE THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE THAN WHAT ALEX JONES DID AFTER THE SHOOTING IN SANDY HOOK. FEWER DESPICABLE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE THAN WHAT STEVE BANNON DID WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE BEGGING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT JANUARY 6th, AND FEWER DESPICABLE THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE THAN TRYING TO STEAL PEOPLE'S VOTE AND DEFRAUD THEM OF DEMOCRACY WHICH IS WHAT TRUMP AND MEADOWS AND GIULIANI AND ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE DID. THEY DESERVE WHAT'S COMING TO THEM, BUT FUNDAMENTALLY, THEY ARE WEAK LITTLE
