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 trump's criminal case may be frozen but that doesn't mean everyone has to give up trying to bring this country back to reality. joining me now. i'm sorry that we had to play alex jones footage at the top of this segment but it was for a purpose. mark i do wonder, you know individually these stories may not resinate but i do wonder if there's any sort of political cost to seeing all these right wing conspiracists and the theories they've been pushing. >> you might think it would be. this is all kind of happening on one side. these live by and large on the right these days. and

not trying to be dramatic but it has been a hard fight. >> that was alex jones. one of the country's biggest conspiracy theorists crying on his show last weekend about the fact his program info wars might finally be coming to an end. for decades jones and info wars have pushed insane conspiracy theories like 9/11 was an inside job and the u.s. government controls the weather. but perhaps his most pernicious and disturbing conspiracy was that the sandy hook massacre, a school shooting that killed 20 students and several adults 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 manufacturers. all i know is the official story of sandy hook has more holes in it than swiss cheese. >> alex jones pushed lies like these about sandy hook for years resulting in his followerring harassing and tormenting the families of of sanly hook victims so they sued for defamation and won. he was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in damages. be 2022. he declared bankruptcy guarding his money from the sandy hook
