- 0:26to their investigation into the january
- 0:286th capital riots as well as just
- 0:30refusing to supply documents for that

- 0:33great way to
- 0:35get yourself arrested
- 0:37if you want to speed run that yes
- 0:39and as a way to apparently make himself
- 0:41out to be some kind of martyr here and
- 0:43keep his base highly engaged and angered
- 0:46mr bannon of course live streamed his
- 0:48arrest on the conservative social media

- 1:08both getter and his podcast which also
- 1:10live streamed the arrest we're here
- 1:12today i don't want anybody to take their
- 1:14eye off the ball of what we do every day

- 1:21side african americans coming on our
- 1:23side we're taking down the biden regime
- 1:26in conclusion bannon said i want you
- 1:29guys to stay focused stay on message
- 1:31signal not noise this is noise he said
- 1:33referring to his arrest
- 1:35as for what happened after he turned
- 1:37himself in uh here's the associated
- 1:38press with more bannon did not enter a
- 1:41plea and is due back in court on
- 1:42thursday for the next phase of what
- 1:44could be the first high-level trial in
- 1:46connection with january's insurrection
- 1:48at the u.s capitol federal magistrate
- 1:50judge robin merriweather released him
- 1:52without bail but required him to check
- 1:53in weekly with court officials and
- 1:55ordered him to surrender his passport if
- 1:57convicted bannon faces a minimum of 30
- 2:00days and a maximum of one year behind
- 2:02bars on each count prosecutors said
- 2:05and this is all while multiple
- 2:07indictments have come down on former
- 2:08trump officials including uh most
- 2:10recently former trump adviser stephen
- 2:12miller
- 2:14as as well as former white house press
- 2:16secretary kaylee mackinnon
- 2:18among many many others
- 2:21yeah in a joint statement regarding this
- 2:22latest group of indictments relating to
- 2:24january 6 the committee's chairman benny
- 2:27thompson said the following the select
- 2:29committee wants to learn every detail of
- 2:31what went on in the white house on
- 2:32january 6th and in the days beforehand
- 2:35we need to know precisely what role the
- 2:36former president and his aides played in
- 2:38efforts to stop the counting of the
- 2:40electoral votes and if they were in
- 2:41touch with anyone outside the white
- 2:43house attempting to overturn the outcome
- 2:45of the election we believe the witnesses
- 2:47subpoenaed today have relevant
- 2:48information and we expect them to comply
- 2:50fully with the select committee's
- 2:52investigation as we work to get answers
- 2:54for the american people make
- 2:55recommendations on changes to the law to
- 2:57protect our democracy and help ensure
- 2:59that nothing like january 6 ever happens
- 3:01again
- 3:02and as for the big man himself
- 3:04trump has been filing lawsuits in an
- 3:06attempt to block any kind of evidence
- 3:07related to the capitol riots from being
- 3:09presented to the committee and just last
- 3:11week a federal judge rejected a bid from
- 3:13trump to block the committee from
- 3:15obtaining white house records for his
- 3:17investigation so uh oh yeah or maybe
- 3:20nothing
- 3:22yeah i mean you would hope that this
- 3:23would actually result in some
- 3:25punishments but it's hard to believe
- 3:26that it will i mean
- 3:28bannon is you know like 30 days yeah
- 3:32well like it's just
- 3:34i guess i'm just like and it's great
- 3:36marketing for him yeah he's he's he's
- 3:38already
- 3:39i'm just so worn down by the idea of
- 3:41people getting away with horrendous [ __ ]
- 3:43and
- 3:44not really having an effect on their
- 3:45lives at all yeah um that's uh you know
- 3:48i'm gonna set my sights low and hope for
- 3:50the best i guess yeah yeah uh all the
- 3:53people who've been waiting
- 3:55five years for
- 3:56donald trump to get arrested and thrown
- 3:59into prison any day now any day um
- 4:02i feel sorry for those people because
- 4:03it's got to be a rough way to live uh
- 4:05he's still very active on his website of
- 4:07course uh he's been calling uh mitch
- 4:10mcconnell a withered old crow a lot
- 4:12recently yes he's been making fun of
- 4:15another uh uh woman from the view pretty
- 4:18recently
- 4:19um so
- 4:20it's all
- 4:21you know
- 4:22nothing that really pertains to this
- 4:24that isn't just the same [ __ ] that he
- 4:25said over and over again basically like
- 4:26the his the the
- 4:29his perceived attack on him versus the
- 4:31capital riot thing that he may be
- 4:33inspired is basically just like well
- 4:34where what are they doing about the
- 4:36black lives matter people it's just the
- 4:37same old song and dance over and over
- 4:39again so it's not really worth
- 4:40mentioning but um as far as actual
- 4:42justice is concerned like we said monday
- 4:44was a busy day in the world of
- 4:46right-wing grifters and we now have a
- 4:48follow-up story regarding the defamation
- 4:50lawsuits filed by the families of the
- 4:52sandy hook victims against infowars
- 4:54owner and host alex jones
- 4:56he was found guilty in all of the
- 4:58remaining san diego
- 5:00cases yes uh where he was of course sued
- 5:02for spreading fake conspiracy theories
- 5:04about the shooting including claims that
- 5:06family members were crisis actors in
- 5:08what appeared to be an attempt to
- 5:10convince his viewers that it was a false
- 5:11flag operation which would then be used
- 5:13to disarm the country
- 5:15jones will now be forced to pay damages
- 5:18to all of those families and it actually
- 5:20feels kind of weird seeing the justice
- 5:22of the system work once in a while uh
- 5:24even if he did lose these cases by
- 5:26default for just refusing to turn over
- 5:28documents yeah um
- 5:29this is like when mob bosses uh didn't
- 5:32get arrested for like the many other
- 5:33crimes that they did it was like taxes
- 5:35it's like all of these uh gop and
- 5:37conservative guys are just outright
- 5:40protesting to present any of the
- 5:42documents that any court is requesting
- 5:45of them or even to show up so alex jones
- 5:46can say for the rest of his life that
- 5:48this wasn't a fair trial because yeah
- 5:49exactly well i didn't get to speak it's
- 5:51like well you were
- 5:53you had every opportunity you weren't
- 5:54involved in the process despite our
- 5:56demands that you should be yeah um so
- 5:58yeah that's kind of how all of this is
- 6:00working out and at least in this case uh
- 6:02it ended up in favor of the families
- 6:04but here's the new york times with more
- 6:06on this judgment a state court in
- 6:08connecticut granted a sweeping victory
- 6:10to the families of eight people killed
- 6:11in a 2012 mass shooting at sandy hook
- 6:13elementary school in newtown connecticut
- 6:15who had sued the far-right broadcaster
- 6:17and conspiracy theorist alex jones and
- 6:19his infowars media outlet for defamation
- 6:21the judge ruled on monday that because
- 6:23mr jones had refused to turn over
- 6:24documents ordered by the courts
- 6:26including financial records he was
- 6:27liable by default the decision combined
- 6:30with previous rulings in texas in late
- 6:32september means mr jones has lost all
- 6:34the defamation losses filed against him
- 6:36by the families of 10 victims lawyers
- 6:38for mr jones said he would appeal
- 6:40juries in connecticut and taxes will
- 6:42next decide how much mr jones should pay
- 6:44the families and damages in addition to
- 6:45court costs those trials are scheduled
- 6:47for next year in both states so
- 6:50the process continues he's got a lot of
- 6:52money though uh someone commented that
- 6:54he he let slip like
- 6:56he's let's slip a couple times how much
- 6:58money he has and it's
- 6:59an insane amount and that will surely
- 7:02be entered as evidence in
- 7:04uh i would imagine it's all settled the
- 7:07the judgments are going to be very high
- 7:09yeah um
- 7:11just the cost of specifically i know for
- 7:14a fact that one family has had to move
- 7:16multiple times because of the harassment
- 7:18they were received from viewers it's
- 7:20horrific yes people they lost a child
- 7:23and then their lives as well to murder
- 7:25and then they had to spend the next
- 7:26several years just laying low and moving
- 7:29constantly while grieving yeah it's
- 7:31awful and having it to be constantly
- 7:33[ __ ] alex jones for
- 7:35enabling all of that um but while we're
- 7:37on the topic of politics let's take a
- 7:38quick break from america
- 7:40and point the finger at france who's
- 7:42president emmanuel macron
- 7:44decided to change the color of their
- 7:46flag back in july of last year and
- 7:48nobody even noticed
- 7:50uh seriously the french flag was changed
- 7:52well over a year ago and no one said a
- 7:54damn thing about it what
- 7:57to be fair he only changed one of the
- 7:59colors and it was to just a darker shade
- 8:01of blue
- 8:02but it's still a change that no one
- 8:04noticed here's insider with more on the
- 8:06decision france changed the color blue
- 8:09used in the country's flag and the
- 8:10detail went unnoticed for more than a
- 8:12year according to multiple reports
- 8:14according to french news site c news the
- 8:16color change is a return to a darker
- 8:18navy shade that was used before 1976
- 8:21when then president elliot helped me
- 8:22hear valerie giscad
- 8:26decided to make the colors lighter to
- 8:28better match the european union's flag
- 8:31the new shade is also a hat tip to the
- 8:33french revolution and a very political
- 8:35attempt to reconnect with the past
- 8:37french site europe one reported there's
- 8:39been no administrative communication
- 8:40regarding the color change and no
- 8:42instructions have been given to replace
- 8:44any official flags the europe one report
- 8:45said last year the new flag was raised
- 8:48above the presidential palace but there
- 8:49was no celebration or any
- 8:50acknowledgement the bbc reported despite
- 8:53the decades-long switch to a lighter
- 8:54flag the country's navy and other
- 8:56official buildings have always used the
- 8:58darker shade the bbc reported there's
- 9:00got to be like at least a few people on
- 9:02the streets of paris who were like i
- 9:03swear to god it's a different color why
- 9:05does everyone think i'm crazy they
- 9:08changed it they changed it that's not
- 9:10the same blue i'm glad it's back but
- 9:12it's still driving me nuts
- 9:14uh and the article does show a couple
- 9:15photos that compare the two flags and i
- 9:17mean yeah it is definitely different
- 9:19but meanwhile here in america we change
- 9:21flags all the time we've got the more
- 9:23traditional flags boring uh then there's
- 9:25also a whole bunch of others that almost
- 9:27anyone who is actually patriotic would
- 9:29probably find offensive because they're
- 9:31black and white with a stripe of a
- 9:33certain color usually blue across them
- 9:36representing different government or
- 9:38authoritarian forces
- 9:40you've got the thin blue line for cops
- 9:42the red line for firefighters the yellow
- 9:44line for dispatchers orange for search
- 9:46and rescue the purple line for security
- 9:49green for federal agents and military
- 9:51and so on and so forth then you got all
- 9:53all those but with mickey mouse
- 9:55variations yeah for the people who are
- 9:57in part of those groups and also adult
- 9:59disney fans yeah well we should just
- 10:01take all of those and combine them into
- 10:03one flag so that everyone's happy hey
- 10:04there you go it's got all the colors wow
- 10:06you know what i actually like that
- 10:08that's our new flag i love my big gay

- 11:27itdaley it is joinhoney.com
- 11:30it daily all right now back into the
- 11:32news with a story that's uh
- 11:34unsettling to say the least
- 11:36russia shot a missile into space and
- 11:38blew up a satellite which caused a large
- 11:40debris field that has now threatened the
- 11:42international space station and everyone
- 11:44on board
- 11:45and to be fair the satellite that they
- 11:47blew up was their own
- 11:48yeah so they're not shooting our
- 11:50satellites out of the sky yet
- 11:52but the subsequent danger that they've
- 11:54put space agencies and citizens from
- 11:56multiple countries in is uh we would
- 11:58assume pretty unforgivable this is like
- 12:00starting a bonfire in your backyard
- 12:02why why is everybody mad at me and it's
- 12:04like
- 12:05everything else on fire is flying
- 12:07everywhere yeah it's like having a
- 12:08gender reveal party in a national park
- 12:10yeah
- 12:11yeah yeah uh astronauts on board they
- 12:13literally had to shelter in place when
- 12:16the space station passed the debris
- 12:17field
- 12:18and it passed the debris field so far
- 12:20multiple times so they had to like keep
- 12:22doing drills were like all right we
- 12:24might hit something isn't this the plot
- 12:25of the movie gravity
- 12:27yeah that might be like it's been a
- 12:29while since i've seen it yeah it's their
- 12:30the iss astronauts like they're the
- 12:32space station gets hit by a bunch of
- 12:34[ __ ] debris
- 12:35the thing is like
- 12:36even the smallest amount of debris can
- 12:38do catastrophic harm to something
- 12:40because there's no friction in space and
- 12:42thousands of miles per hour uh yeah so
- 12:45and by the way uh that's the iss there's
- 12:48also the spacex crew that just got up
- 12:50there recently they had the shelter
- 12:52inside the dragon capsule uh that's
- 12:54currently docked on the space station so
- 12:57um probably something they shouldn't
- 12:58have to worry about all the time but uh
- 13:01yeah now they do here's more from this
- 13:03bizarre space drama from the verge
- 13:05this morning russia destroyed one of its
- 13:07own satellites with a ground-based
- 13:08missile creating thousands of pieces of
- 13:10debris that have spread out into earth
- 13:12orbit according to the u.s state
- 13:13department the u.s has identified more
- 13:15than fifteen hundred trackable pieces of
- 13:17debris from the event and many thousands
- 13:19of smaller ones that cannot be traced
- 13:20ned price a spokesperson for the state
- 13:22department said during a briefing the
- 13:24news comes amid reports from russia's
- 13:25space agency ross cosmos that the
- 13:27astronauts living on board the
- 13:28international space station had to
- 13:30shelter in place this morning due to a
- 13:32cloud of space debris that seemed to be
- 13:33passing by the station every 90 minutes
- 13:35jesus the time it takes for the iss to
- 13:37orbit the earth
- 13:38this test will significantly increase
- 13:40the risk to astronauts and cosmonauts on
- 13:42the international space station as well
- 13:44as to other human space flight
- 13:46activities price told reporters russia's
- 13:48dangerous and irresponsible behavior
- 13:49jeopardizes the long-term sustainability
- 13:51of our space and clearly demonstrates
- 13:53that russia's claims of opposing the
- 13:55weaponization of space are disingenuous
- 13:57and hypocritical okay well i mean we're
- 13:59trying to weaponize space too so i don't
- 14:01know that last part yeah that's just
- 14:03some state department [ __ ] exactly
- 14:05but the the fact that they have 1500
- 14:07trackable pieces yeah that's a lot of
- 14:09trash yeah and that's big enough to be
- 14:11tracked by like radar or whatever i mean
- 14:13you set up a big net yeah space net
- 14:16catch all that trash but it has to be
- 14:17smaller it's like a bolt going through
- 14:19the wrong part of the space they throw
- 14:20up a big magnet
- 14:22yeah we need a space back big space
- 14:24magnet yeah yeah mm-hmm
- 14:27by violent jig there's your solution i
- 14:29have no idea how this works but we're
- 14:30gonna crazy yeah he's the real space
- 14:32cowboy that's why he's quitting music
- 14:34exactly i was called up by the space
- 14:36force
- 14:36um the reporting continues with a quote
- 14:38from nasa administrator bill nelson who
- 14:40said the following in a statement to the
- 14:41outlet i'm outraged by this
- 14:43irresponsible and destabilizing action
- 14:45with its long and storied history and
- 14:47human space flight it is unthinkable
- 14:49that russia would endanger not only the
- 14:51american and international partner
- 14:52astronauts on the iss but also their own
- 14:55cosmonauts there are seven people
- 14:57currently living on the iss two of which
- 14:59are russian cosmonauts private space
- 15:02tracking company leo labs confirmed on
- 15:03twitter that it observed multiple
- 15:05objects that are now in the location of
- 15:07an old russian satellite called cosmos
- 15:091408 which has now been confirmed to be
- 15:12the target of the asap test asap tests
- 15:15are often considered political moves
- 15:16that showcase a nation's capability of
- 15:18taking out satellites but they are a
- 15:21source of concern for those in the space
- 15:23industry because of their propensity to
- 15:24cause giant fields of satellite
- 15:26fragments yeah looks like this is a job
- 15:28for
- 15:29the space force yeah but unironically
- 15:32yeah this is a job for them yeah i still
- 15:34don't know exactly what they do
- 15:36well they're gonna send up a big magnet
- 15:38yes and catch all that debris yes a big
- 15:41cot like cartoon looking
- 15:44and then the big net for the rest of the
- 15:46stuff that's not magnetized i was at a
- 15:48dodger game earlier this year and they
- 15:49do like every game they'll have like a
- 15:51military hero of the game the way
- 15:53everyone you know you stand up or
- 15:54whatever and uh and it was someone from
- 15:56the space force and they were very young
- 15:57and i was just like
- 15:59all right look i'm i'm not going to say
- 16:00anything this is some uh just boot
- 16:02things material
- 16:04what are you doing i salute our
- 16:06space force veterans yeah and i was like
- 16:08okay like
- 16:09usually it's like a uh a vietnam veteran
- 16:12or something and they do their whole
- 16:13like list of service and it's like hey
- 16:15look
- 16:15you probably didn't want to be there
- 16:18but good for you yeah and it's like the
- 16:20space force it was like in the newly
- 16:21named space force here's cadet so-and-so
- 16:23and i was just like some gave all all
- 16:27caves some some gave all here's your
- 16:29space for it yeah it's uh that's [ __ ]

- 16:55star trek yeah yeah
- 16:57anyway back here on earth we've got
- 16:59plenty of average citizens causing
- 17:00plenty of chaos without the need of
- 17:02russian bombs and things for space and
- 17:04things are probably only going to get
- 17:05worse as we face literally the biggest
- 17:06travel weekend since the beginning of
- 17:08the pandemic and we're talking about
- 17:10thanksgiving and christmas get ready
- 17:12yeah
- 17:13you thought people were poorly behaved
- 17:15in the airports and on airplanes during
- 17:18the rest of the pandemic just wait
- 17:21just you [ __ ] wait apparently
- 17:22thanksgiving the two weekends combined
- 17:24obviously make it much much more chaotic
- 17:27than christmas because uh christmas
- 17:29people start filing out at different
- 17:30times there's not like
- 17:32people go at different times
- 17:33thanksgiving is like
- 17:34it's those
- 17:36big crunch yeah so yeah um
- 17:40what better time
- 17:41for all the major airlines to
- 17:43reintroduce hard liquor as an option on
- 17:45their flights we're back baby they they
- 17:47got rid of the liquor because they're
- 17:48like oh clearly these people they've
- 17:49gone feral they don't know how to behave
- 17:50themselves in public they can't hold
- 17:52their liquor anymore so we're gonna stop
- 17:54serving shots of
- 17:55hard liquor on our airplanes and in a
- 17:57lot of cases just straight up beer yeah
- 17:59yeah but yeah united announced and then
- 18:01enacted the change on monday of this
- 18:03week here's cnn united airlines is once
- 18:05again serving hard liquor on spice
- 18:08party liquors hard liquor on its place a
- 18:10service has stopped early in the
- 18:12pandemic starting monday united is
- 18:14selling mini booze bottles
- 18:16booze bottles an economy class on
- 18:18domestic flights of more than 300 miles
- 18:20in response to the feedback we've
- 18:22received from both customers and flight
- 18:23attendants what flight attendants bring
- 18:25back the boost what attendant
- 18:29they're tired of getting yelled at yes
- 18:30for not having this is united being like
- 18:32we're losing thousands of dollars every
- 18:34flight from people that were buying
- 18:36booze
- 18:37spending yeah
- 18:38it is sort of like the popcorn machine
- 18:39at the movie theater yeah it's a uh the
- 18:42flight itself is a loss leader they make
- 18:44money on the concessions
- 18:47that was according to a statement from
- 18:48the airline which continues the ability
- 18:50to offer a complete food and beverage
- 18:52menu is something that we know is
- 18:54important to our customers united said
- 18:56that complete food menu is like
- 18:58it's like a [ __ ] bologna beef or
- 19:00chicken
- 19:01and that's that's on like an
- 19:02international flight maybe a domestic
- 19:04flight is like do you want a ham
- 19:06sandwich and it's 17 here's a bag of
- 19:09chips here's a 20 lunchable yeah you
- 19:12[ __ ] pig exactly
- 19:14or you want a cheeseboard that is
- 19:16literally just like a bag of cheese and
- 19:18then a glass of wine
- 19:20so hey it's back though yeah what could
- 19:23go wrong with people already stressed
- 19:25about traveling during a traditionally
- 19:28chaotic few days on top of anti-mask
- 19:31weirdos doing their frequent ted talks
- 19:33during flights and others getting
- 19:35straight up violent with workers in an
- 19:36industry that like many others is facing
- 19:38a labor shortage adding liquor back on
- 19:41the menu is definitely an idea that
- 19:43couldn't possibly go wrong or
- 19:44potentially fuel an onslaught of unruly
- 19:47passengers
- 19:48buckle in everyone it is going to be a
- 19:50wild two weeks but at least there will
- 19:52be no shortage of content for social
- 19:54media platforms i can i can
- 19:56almost guarantee that we are going to
- 19:58see a lot of in-flight videos in the
- 19:59next two weeks yeah but uh these days
- 20:02however people they're not even waiting
- 20:04to get on the plane before they start
- 20:05causing chaos by flexing their freedom
- 20:08muscles case in point this story from
- 20:10minneapolis from the minneapolis airport
- 20:12told by their local cbs affiliate
- 20:15telling agents he did not have to stop
- 20:17because it's a free country a 44 year
- 20:19old minneapolis man is charged with
- 20:21threatening tsa workers at
- 20:22minneapolis-st paul international
- 20:24airport the charges state that he also
- 20:26swung a stanchion line post before
- 20:27throwing it at agents taking his clothes
- 20:30off and masturbating the hennepin county

- 20:46tsa employee that he was going to kill
- 20:48them officers gave him commands to stop
- 20:50and move away from the checkpoint which
- 20:52he did not abide the charges state
- 20:53that's when towers was tasered he then
- 20:56swung his arms above his head in an
- 20:57attempt to hit an officer backup
- 20:59officers took towers into custody while
- 21:00he continued to fight with them
- 21:02surveillance video footage shows towers
- 21:03punching and head-butting tv screens at

- 21:35tsa checkpoint and then surely he'll
- 21:38have calmed down by that yeah like
- 21:39there's a there's some missing details
- 21:41here that uh are probably very
- 21:43interesting are you the man that an hour
