The plaintiffs' law firm does not press sanctions against opposing lawyers unless it is clear the client had no involvement in the misconduct.

And that's because we truly, and I will say this to anybody, our firm, we don't press sanctions against lawyers. We just don't. Unless. The lawyer... Unless we can clearly see that the client had nothing to do with this. It was purely the lawyer. And there's been very few instances of that.

Eric Holder ran the Fast and Furious gun-running operation and appointed Raynaud to the Department of Justice.

However, no, Fast and Furious, the CIA gun running through Eric Holder. And it was on Friday, and I was driving back to Houston because I went home to see my son for the weekend. And I called Mark and I was like, Eric Holder. Ran Fast and Furious, he also appointed Raynaud to the Department of Justice, I think in Laredo.

Representing clients in trial leads lawyers to appreciate them as people and care about their well-being.

The one thing I will say is that when you go through trial, you get close to your clients. You don't have a choice. You're with them every day and you talk with them and that's where you get to really appreciate them as people. And the more and more that I met Neil and Scarlett, you know, at times I would, you know, at times you get frustrated for certain things that I'm not going to, you know, nothing bad, but just to kind of...

Many personal injury attorneys work for the right reasons, but their reputation is overshadowed by bad actors.

There are a lot of... Plaintiff's attorneys that do personal injury work out there that truly do do it for the right reasons and in the right ways. You just hear about the bad stuff. It's overshadowed by some attorneys that have pushed certain limits that they shouldn't have or done things that they shouldn't have. That's always going to happen in any profession.

The Alex Jones trial events were so dramatic that a Law & Order writer would have been fired for writing such a script.

One of the writers for Law& Order did a tweet that was like... If I would have written a script based on what's going on in the Alex Jones trial, I would have immediately been fired from that conference room because there's no fucking way that was ever going to happen in real life.

The Honor Network and the Choose Love movement are doing effective work to combat misinformation and teach children to stop hating each other.

Honor Network and the Choose Love movement. And those two things are... They're both doing really good stuff for moving forward. One on misinformation and one on just teaching kids how to stop hating each other.

Infowars labeled all listed mass shootings as false flags or hoaxes.

Because Columbine, Infowars, false flag, or brainwash, the government brainwash program. Boston bombing, Gabrielle Gifford shooting, Parkland shooting, Aurora. Sutherland Springs church shooting, El Paso, 9-11, Oklahoma City, San Bernardino, all. False flag or hoax? All claimed by InfoWars.

Bill Ogden describes his deposition style as more aggressive and less pleasant than Mark Bankston's.

In these cases, I've told witnesses, especially ones that have been deposed by Mark and then are now being deposed by me. Or if we have a witness go day one and I'm doing the day two depots, I'll tell the witness, like, I'm just letting you know now, Mr. Bankston wasn't very pleasant yesterday and he's the nice one of us. Like, I will straight up just tell him.

The media attention from the Marcel Fontaine case led to the plaintiffs contacting the attorneys regarding the Sandy Hook case.

So that case, the Florida case, we filed first, and from the media attention that we had no idea was coming. From all of that, we got contacted by the Sandy Hook appearance, and that's kind of where the chronological order of how this all came about.

Bill Ogden's role involves mastering corporate representative depositions to make witnesses look unprepared.

To an extent, yes, that's actually what I do. So 30B6 is what we call it, which is a corporate representative depot. And so I just kind of mastered meticulously going through topics and making the person just look really unprepared. And with these topics, it wasn't hard because there's just no way. There's so many false claims and just kind of bullshit being thrown around that no one could know and get a grip on all of it.

Bill Ogden uses tactics like eating gummy worms during depositions to make witnesses uncomfortable and force them to answer quickly.

Making people uncomfortable when you're asking uncomfortable questions makes them just want it to end. So they give you whatever they know what you want. And if they're uncomfortable, they're just going to give it rather than playing this line of things where they... Ask your question again. I don't understand what you're asking. That kind of thing. And so, yeah, Jordan, what you can't see on the depots is I stop at Bucky's, which is a very famous gas station. It's the size of a Walmart in Texas. And there's one right between Houston and Austin. So I stop and I buy this giant bag of gummy worms. And so during the depot, I just open them up while they're asking questions. And I'll hold it up to the light. I'll eat it. And like, I use it as a, and then I'll look over at the witness and they're just staring at my hands. They're, you know, looking at this gummy bear and I'm, you know, I'm just chowing down on them.

Paul Joseph Watson recognized the negative consequences of his actions and separated himself from Infowars.

Paul Joseph Watson, he saw the writing on the wall. No, totally. Stop doing this. What the fuck are we doing? This is bad. This looks horrible for all of us. It's going to give us this reputation. Yeah. And you can see from that email. He splits, and he starts doing his own thing, because he's not going down with that ship.

Robert Barnes lost his temper during a deposition and likely exited the case.

Yeah, so I was the one that kind of broke him in the second, no, the first Rob Dudebo where he just goes off the handle and he's like, you know, Mr. Banks is laughing and all this stuff and you guys need to just cut all the unprofessionalism, you know. What I'm asking for is not unreasonable. He just blew his lid, and I knew he had a fuse. I just wanted to see how far I needed to burn it. And so once he did, I looked at him as calmly as I could, and I just said, I'm not even going to comment on the reasonableness of what you just said. And I just left it there, and you could see him just, ooh. And I knew that's when he was probably going to be exiting the case.

The plaintiffs took on the case for principled reasons rather than financial gain.

Because this case was taken on... We call it a hobby case, but it's not like a hobby. We brought it on because the money doesn't... We don't care about the money. We're successful in all sorts of... I've got some civil rights cases and some... Big industrial accidents and the auto defects. We've made money. So each lawyer brings on a case at any given time that they want to do for the right reasons. And that's why we brought this one on.

Alex Jones shifted his focus to politics around the 2016 election to grow his audience.

And then the closer we got to 2016 election is when he decided, you know, Sandy Hook, he took an extreme story, probably the most egregious extreme story in my lifetime. And then he made it even more extreme. Right? From there, the closer we got to 2016, he realized if he goes political, he can grow. And he did. When he went right, he exploded.

30 Mar 2022
Alex Jones mastered a debate tactic of overwhelming opponents with rapid-fire information to prevent them from asking questions.

Because I'm not really watching the content as much as I'm breaking down The style of how he's doing it, how he's going into these and planning them and how he transitions, you notice all of that now. And you realize it's, I'm not going to say genius, but it was a way that no one had really mastered until him to rapid fire things at someone to where you can't ask questions because there's so much coming at you and there's so many questions to ask that you just don't have time. Or you forget about something that he said five minutes ago because you're now talking about something else.

Owen Shroyer admitted he is a puppet who conveys messages controlled by others.

And Owen's like, yeah, I was live on air filling in for Alex. Somebody who I don't remember handed me these documents and said, we already got the clips ready to go run the story from Zero Edge. And I'm like, so you're just a puppet. And he's like, I'm not a puppet. And I'm like, well, a puppet is somebody who conveys a message, but someone else has control. And I'm like, he's like, yeah. And I'm like, you're live on air. He's like, yeah. I'm like, somebody hands you a story. You don't know what's in it. He's like, right. And I'm like, but they do. Yeah. So they have control of it. He's like, right. And then you convey the message. He's like, exactly. And I'm like, so you're a puppet. He was like, yeah, yeah, I am a puppet.
