I can’t wait for the Alex Jones movie where Bert Kreischer plays Jones.

That’s really deep.
Collective nouns in British English are usually (except for special emphasis) paired with a plural verb and in American English are (again, except for emphasis) paired with a singular verb.

I talk four hours a day, and I can’t remember what I talked about sometimes a week ago. Sandy Hook has been, in the aggregate, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of what I cover. And I understand that you’ve been living this and pouring over it constantly. I have done almost no preparation for this.
The “I talk so much I don’t know what is true” argument doesn’t really seem like a good defense in a defamation lawsuit.

Squirm, squirm, squirm little worm.
Though if it results in him being locked in a padded cell while ranting until he bursts a blood vessel about hormones in the water or crisis actors then…

Perhaps the best admission by Alex Jones in the whole transcript:
Q. So if Mr. Zipp reported that in that affidavit in front of you, he would be wrong?
A. I don’t know Zipp. I mean, I don’t know Mr. Zipp, so.

I just need to reiterate, even if Jones proved he was suffering from temporary insanity, he would still be liable!. You can’t get out of a tort with an insanity plea. Even worse for Jones (ie better for the world), he basically claimed that his statements do not meet a test of reasonableness. I have to imagine his lawyer just about crapped himself when Jones said that.

I was going to write something, but for some reason the trash panda was too distracting. Which is kind of a proactive ignore function.
Well played, sir.

The
line also doesn’t make him look very good. He now agrees he was wrong about those people that lost their children being paid actors, but actually preparing by looking back at the highlights of what he said about that is too much to ask? It was only less then one tenth of one percent of everything he said right, so not that much to ask?

I’d imagined Jones as the type who’d go pro se. In fact I’m a bit disappointed he did not.

It seems like his strategy here is to massively downplay the Sandy Hook thing as just a few words among ten billion much more important things he’s said on the air, something so insignificant that he didn’t even prepare for a deposition or remember the date the attack happened, apparently to lull the jury into saying “gosh, what are we getting so worked up about when there’s actual lizard people and gay frogs running around?”
I’m glad I’m not his lawyer.

My 4yo daughter is on a kick right now of confirming with us which animals and people are real and which are imaginary (after some unpleasant surprises vis-a-vis unicorns and Bo on the Go). So…are we to be proud that he’s at least moved beyond “adult baby,” and is in to “Adult Preschooler” territory?

Its a civil suit. Insanity doesn’t work there. Especially since it generally takes more than one person to broadcast something.

Depositions are never fun for any deponent, even when they’ve done nothing wrong and genuinely have nothing to hide or apologize for, but there is a special quality that comes out when the deponent is someone who is so used to being wholly in control of what they will and won’t talk about, and almost never engage in a discussion in which they lack the ability to cut it off at any time.
It’s fascinating to watch when right-wing kooks who run their mouths for dozens of hours every week lose the ability to control the discussion and have the hard questions asked.
