we see that time and time again, no matter what destruction they cause, alex jones is finally facing to the rest of trump world? >> i would hope so. what is happening with jones and some other actors is that they see an opportunity for a tremendous amount of cash to be made for peddling these lies. and yet the dissent the psychology of why that works, which is when your confronted -- will some people, are confronted with the set of facts that they believe in, or don't want to believe in, that make them uncomfortable, that make them afraid, they're criminals coming, and you need, guns whatever the set of facts is, it makes them open to an alternative set of facts because they want to believe in something that is counter to the fact that they have in front of them. so these people become open to the side gia to conspiracy theories, and lies, and there are some people, but and people were smart enough to know they can make a lot of money some of those lies to people who desperately want to want to believe something other than a set of facts which is primarily about a country weaving away

it bad enough as an initial lie, but they've faced threats and harassment from people who follow alex joneshis, makes money all all of this. this is not a random set of beliefs, it's something we used as a profitable business. now, jones lost the defamation trial, so this case basically, i'm simplifying, will focus on how much he has to pay. he's already the loser. the question is whether he'll be hit with millions of dollars in about making money, and that's an important point here. because while they have suffered real financial losses, and the courts can measure that, they have said for years this is much bigger than alex jones. it is about something that's only gotten worse in the last several years, a construction of lies or what under trump was called alternative facts, to pursue any and all agendas, business, or profit. this is a real problem in america right now. i bet you've heard about it. people around the country spent free time trying to torment grieving parent of dead children. it is pretty disgusting when you think about the specific examples. in politics, it has turned to th
