>>> YOU KNOW WE'RE LIVING ON EARTH TOO WHEN FOX IS NOT SHOWING THE BIDEN SPEECH OF THE 88th ANNIVERSARY. THIS WAS REALLY SOMETHING. >> I'M LITERALLY HERE WATCHING A FAMILY MEMBER DIE. 30 YEARS ON AIR, 27 YEARS OPERATION, 50 YEARS THIS BUILDING. I LITERALLY WHEN I KNOW I LEAVE TONIGHT THEY'RE GOING TO SHUT US DOWN. EITHER TONIGHT, TODAY. I BELIEVE IN MY GRANDPARENTS, I BELIEVE IN MY PARENTS. I BELIEVE IN HUMANITY. I JUST WANT TO -- [BLEEP ] THESE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED. WE HAVE TO STOP THEM. SO, AL AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'RE GOING TO BEAT THESE PEOPLE. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DRAMATIC HERE BUT IT'S BEEN A HARD FIGHT. >> Reporter: THAT WAS ALEX JONES ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST CONSPIRACY THEORISTS CRYING, AT LEAST WE THINK IT WAS CRYING ON HIS SHOW LAST WEEKEND ABOUT THE FACT THAT HIS PROGRAM INFO WARS MIGHT FINALLY BE COMING TO AN END. FOR A DECADE, JONES AND INTO WARS HAS PUSHED INSANE CONSPIRACY THEORIES LIKE 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB. AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTROLS THE WEATHER. BUT PERHAPS JONES' MOST DISTURBING CONSPIRACY WAS HIS CLAIM THAT THE SANDY HOOK MASSACRE A SCHOOL SHOOTING THAT KILLED 20 FIRST GRADERS AND SIX ADULT TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF MEMBERS THAT SANDY HOOK WAS STAGED. >> SANDY HOOK, IT'S GOT INSIDE JOB WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. SANDY HOOK IS A SYNTHETIC, COMPLETELY FAKE WITH ACTORS IN MY VIEW MANUFACTURED. >> ALL I KNOW IS THE OFFICIAL STORY OF SANDY HOOK HAS MORE HOLES IN IT THAN SWISS CHEESE. >> ALEX JONES PUSHED LIES LIKE THIS ABOUT SANDY HOOK FOR YEARS WHICH RESULTED IN HIS FOLLOWERS HARASSING AND TORMENTING THE FAMILIES OF SANDY HOOK VICTIMS. SO THOSE FAMILIES SUED ALEX JONES FOR DEFAMATION AND THEY WON. JONES WAS ORDERED TO PAY THOSE FAMILIES $1.5 MILLION IN DAMAGES. BUT IN 2022, ALEX JONES DECLARED BANKRUPTCY EFFECTIVELY GUARDING HIS FAMILY FROM THE SANDY HOOK FAMILIES UNTIL TONIGHT. TONIGHT SANDY HOOK FAMILIES ACCEPTED A PROPOSAL FROM ALEX JONES TO LIQUIDATE ALL OF JONESES PERSONAL ASSET S. THIS COURT LIQUIDATED WILL KEEP THEIR CLAIM ALIVE IN THE EVENT THAT JONES ACCRUES MORE WEALTH IN THE FUTURE. AND ALL OF THIS MEANS IT COULD FINALLY BE THE END FOR INFO WARS. >> SO ALEX JONES IS BEING HELD TO ACCOUNT LITERALLY HIS BANK ACCOUNT. REALITY HAS REALLY SET IN THIS WEEK AND NOT JUST FOR ALEX JONES. THIS IS THE EPIC TIMES. IT IS A NEWS OUTLET THAT STARTED DECADES AGO AS AN ANTI CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY LEAFLET FOR THE FOLLOWING GONG. YOU MAY KNOW FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE GROUP SHEN YUN. A SHOW THAT TRAVELS THE COUNTRY EXPLAINING THEIR VERSION OF PRECOMMUNIST CHINESE HISTORY THROUGH SONG AND DANCE. THE EPIC TIMES BECAME LESS ABOUT CHINESE SOCIO AND JUST PLAIN CONSPIRACY THEORIES. CAUSING VACCINES CAUSED WIDESPREAD INJURY AND DEATH. IT PUSHED SERIOUSLY NICHE CONTENT LIKE THIS DOCUMENTARY REVEALING A SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT PLOT THAT FORCED SURVIVORS TO EAT BUGS. BUT FOR YEARS NOW THE EPIC TIMES HAS CLAIMED CONTENT HAS BEEN WILDLY SUCCESSFUL. THEY PUT UP BILLBOARDS DECLARING THE EPIC TIMES AS THE NUMBER ONE TRUSTED NEWS. IN 2021 THE EPIC TIMES CLAIMED THEY HAD GROWN THE SITES REVENUE BY 685% IN TWO YEARS. IT ALL SEEMED PRETTY FANTASTICAL BECAUSE IT WAS. ACCORDING TO A LAWSUIT, THE SITE'S CONTENT WAS NOT THE MONEYMAKER HERE. NOT THE BUG PLOT. THE REAL INCREASE IN REVENUE WAS COMING FROM A MASSIVE MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME RUN BY THE EPIC TIMES CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. SINCE 2020 THE CFO HAS BEEN BUYING MILLIONS OF THE DOLLARS OF PREPAID DEBIT CARDS AT 70 TO 80-CENTS PER DOLLAR FROM CRIMINALS ON CRYPTO CURRENCY EXPENSES. NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT. THE EPIC TIMES CFO IS BEING CHARGED WITH BANK FRAUD AND COULD FACE UP TO 30 YEARS IN PRISON. ALL OF THIS IS NEGATIVE PRESS FOR THE EPIC TIMES AND POSITIVE NEWS FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR INFORMATION ECOSYSTEM. AND TO THAT END, TO THE TRIUMPH OF REALITY OVER CONSPIRACY, THERE WAS NEWS ON THIS FRONT. >> DO WE KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THE 2020 ELECTION. >> THAT WAS FAR RIGHT ACTIVIST CONSPIRACY THEORY FILLED DOCUMENTARY 2000 MULES. WHEN THAT FILM DEBUTED, TRUMP HOSTED A SCREENING OF IT IN MAR- A-LAGO AND GIULIANI AND THE PILLOW GUY WERE THERE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE PAID TO DUMP BIDEN BALLOTS IN DROP BOXES AND STEAL THE 2020 ELECTION. IT IS A COMPLETE FABRICATION BUT THE RIGHT WING WENT BANANAS FOR IT. TO THIS DAY, 2000 MULES IS PART OF THE. AND LAST WEEK WHEN THEY FACED A LAWSUIT, THEY OFFERED AN APOLOGY AND STOPPED DISTRIBUTION. IT DOESN'T JUST MATTER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR PUBLIC DISCOURSE IT MATTERS FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR DEMOCRACY. BECAUSE IT WASN'T JUST 2,000 MULES THAT WAS PUSHING THE BIG LIE. ALL OF THESE OUTLETS WERE. >> IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE MEDIA OVER THE PAST WEEK YOU PROBABLY THINK THE ELECTION IS OVER. BUT THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT THE CASE. >> THE EPIC TIMES IS ONE OF THE FIRST OUTLETS TO REALLY GO HARD ON THE BIG LIE. RIGHT AFTER THE 2020 I ELECTION, ITS HOME PAGE BECAME AN ELECTION CHALLENGE TRACKER. FOLLOWING LEGAL CHALLENGES AND FAKE ELECTOR EVENTS STATE BY STATE. AS FOR ALEX JONES, NOT ONLY DID HE PUSH THE BIG LIE BUT ALEX JONES ACTUALLY HELPED ORGANIZE AND FUND THE STOP THE STEAL RALLY WHERE TRUMP SPOKE ON JANUARY 6th. THE BIG LIE MAY BE THE MOST INFLUENTIAL CONSPIRACY THEORY OF OUR TIME. YES THERE IS PLENTY OF OTHER OUTLETS AND EVEN SITTING U.S. OFFICIALS WHO STILL PUSH THE LIE BUT THESE OUTLETS, THESE OUTLETS CRASHING AND BURNING THIS WEEK, CONSPIRACY THEORISTS THAT MATTERS. IT COMES ON A WEEK THAT MANY PEOPLE TRIED TO USE THE BIG LIE TO TURN OVER THE ELECTION. DONALD
