"You may not tell this jury that you are bankrupt," the judge continued. "That is also not true. You may have filed for bankruptcy, I don't know that but I have heard that. That doesn't make a person or a company bankrupt. You're already under oath to tell the truth. You've already violated that oath twice today in those two examples. It seems absurd to instruct you again that you must tell the truth when you testify. Yet, here I am. You must tell the truth while you testify. This is not your show. You need to slow down and not take what you see as opportunities to further the message that you're wanting to further. Instead, only answer the specific and exact questions you've been asked. No asides. The comments about discovery. The comments about the larynx or whatever it was."
At one point Jones began clearing his throat and coughing on the stand and his lawyer quickly asked if he needed some water. Jones explained that he had surgery on his larynx at one point. He also spoke to the judge about having a tooth pulled recently when she admonished him for chewing gum. He said he wasn't chewing gum it was part of the gauze he had in his mouth and opened it trying to show her. She told him to close it and sit down.
Jones is outside yelling at a bunch of cameras about tyranny and the corporate media, monologuing about the judge. you can probably see clips from other reporters. @JohnMoritz18 asks him what happened to his cough, which is the best question of the day IMO

Well, yeah.So I watched about an hour of the Alex Jones trial and it is really too bad the jury can’t sentence him to eternal damnation https://t.co/cmcR9wUMnk

I knew some judges in that courthouse back in the day (i.e., more than 30 years ago now) who absolutely would have chewed him up and spit him out. Which is no slight on how this judge is handling the case.What's hilarious to me, as a lawyer who does shit in front of judges regularly, is the read on the body language in the first five seconds of this video.

This is a judge who has had enough and is just so tired of this shit. https://t.co/C0droNeUkK
And then today happened:Oh I definitely think these dipshits are trying to mistrial or create some record of alleged bias for appeal. I also think Judge Gamble is doing a marvelous job of giving them enough rope to hang themselves.

Holy shit, showing the jury a clip of Alex Jones saying on air that they--the jury--are too "blue collar" and live so much in a bubble that they "don't know what's going on" in the world.

Alex Jones is asked if InfoWars has been saying the judge is tied to pedophiles in CPS. He says no.

Sandy Hook parent lawyers show a clip saying that, with the judge animated on fire.
"The judge is the fire burning Lady Liberty. The judge is consuming freedom," Jones clarifies.
Bankston: Saying someone inside Travis County govt rigged the jury summons and picked these jurors specifically who don’t know what planet they are on, that’s what you are telling the world?
— Sebastian Murdock (@SebastianMurdoc) August 3, 2022
J: I’m saying that that could potentially be a danger if they don’t know what’s going on
And a paralegal left the courtroom punching in the number to the malpractice carrier as they went."Did you know that your lawyers messed up and sent me your entire cell phone texting history 12 days ago and that's how I know you lied to me about having text messages about Sandy Hook?"
— Andrew Fleischman (@ASFleischman) August 3, 2022
Holy shit.
Even as the carrier scans the contract for a way to cancel it.BANKSTON: Did you know 12 days ago your attorney’s messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you’ve sent for the past 2 years? And when informed did not take any steps to identify it as privilege?

Jones: I don't have an Infowars email
— Liz Dye (@5DollarFeminist) August 3, 2022
Bankston: We didn't ask for Infowars email, we asked for ALL emails
Jones: I never send emails myself
Bankston: Mr. Jones, is this your email?
Jones: [long pause] I must have dictated that to my assistant pic.twitter.com/EAZNbD2zl3
Bankston: "I think it's clear that you only get 20-40 % profit margin on food is not true."
— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 3, 2022
Jones: "I could bring those numbers in and show you."
Bankston: "I asked you for those numbers and I didn't get them. Instead I have those text messages. Why should anyone trust you?"
Bankston, holding a $1 bill: Are you aware that after the hundreds of millions you earned, your atty says that THIS is all you should pay the plaintiffs?
— Liz Dye (@5DollarFeminist) August 3, 2022
Jones: What about the New York Times lying about WMDs?
(Yes, for real)
And somewhere in a file cabinet in a quiet office Reynal's (Jones' lawyer) malpractice insurance contract just spontaneously combusted.OOF Reynal just apparently asked Bankston exactly what he'd been accidentally sent, and Bankston said "all of his text messages from about the last three years....and all the confidential medical records from depositions, which violates the protective order."

Yikes on bikes.
Q: Is this a fair trial?
— Liz Dye (@5DollarFeminist) August 3, 2022
A: [Rambling bullshit]
Judge: Rein it in
Jones: I've been found guilty by a judge, this isn't America. I understand, we're an old Republic, maybe it's time to go.
The obscenity is not that Alex Jones is like this. The obscenity is that millions of Americans love and admire and support Alex Jones being like this, and make him filthy rich for being like this.

We have met the enemy and he is us.
Sex is pretty good, but have you ever watched Alex Jones having to testify under oath?
