Topic: The Onion Auction

The Third Court of Appeals in Texas has reportedly stayed an attempt by The Onion and Michael Bloomberg to take control of Infowars. Jones describes the acquisition attempt as a fraudulent hijacking and a "hoax" that was previously overturned by a federal bankruptcy judge in Houston. Despite the legal victory, Jones prepares to move his production to a new studio under different ownership to ensure continuity of the broadcast.

The satirical news outlet The Onion, backed by Bloomberg and CEO Ben Collins, claims to have acquired InfoWars' assets and intellectual property through a bankruptcy auction. Alex Jones disputes these claims, asserting that no court hearing has ratified the deal and that the announcement is a fraudulent attempt to damage his brand. The segment includes clips of Collins and Rachel Maddow celebrating the purported takeover.

Alex Jones addresses the potential shutdown of InfoWars, stating that the "bankruptcy estate" is being divided by plaintiffs. He clarifies that while The Onion attempted to buy the company, a judge has scrutinized the fraudulent nature of that auction. A "closing mega blowout sale" with discounts up to 75% is launched to keep the operation running through December.

Jones provides an update on the legal status of InfoWars, noting that a state-appointed receiver is currently overseeing operations. He mentions the "fake auction" involving *The Onion* and expresses uncertainty about the network's survival past mid-January. He urges listeners to continue shopping at the Alex Jones Store, as the network is nearly sold out of inventory and cannot reorder due to the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.

The Onion, allegedly backed by Bloomberg, participated in what was described as a fraudulent bankruptcy auction for InfoWars in November. A judge later held a hearing regarding the legitimacy of the bid after emergency motions were filed to stop the sale. During this period of corporate instability, Owen Shroyer reportedly attempted to launch a separate network before returning to InfoWars when the operation survived.

The host's parents and wife are reportedly being sued by the bankruptcy trustee despite multiple audits finding no evidence of hidden money. The segment highlights a "fake auction" involving The Onion and Bloomberg-backed groups that was recently set aside by a federal judge. The trustee is now moving to seize personal items, including a 2017 Ford truck and a small rental property.

Headlines regarding the auction of the host's watches and rental property are dismissed as a media stunt. Attorney Chris Mattei, who represents the Sandy Hook families and FBI agents, is accused of prioritizing the silencing of the broadcast over actual financial recovery. The host maintains that the bid by The Onion for InfoWars was illegal and has been discredited.

A new receiver has been appointed in the Texas state court case following the exposure of a "fake auction" involving The Onion and Bloomberg.

The ongoing efforts to seize personal assets, including a 2017 Ford Expedition and rental property, are discussed in the context of the Sandy Hook judgments. The segment criticizes the media coverage of the auction and the involvement of Chris Mattei, alleging a coordinated effort between the DOJ and private entities to dismantle Infowars.

The recent auction of InfoWars to The Onion was reportedly financed by Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety group. A judge has placed a hold on the sale due to a lack of transparency and the fact that The Onion did not have the highest cash bid. The host argues that the process was a gaslighting attempt to kill the website's traffic and shopping cart revenue.

InfoWars remains under its original ownership despite "giant lies" from mainstream outlets like The Onion and Bloomberg claiming they had purchased the network. This misinformation campaign has reportedly crippled the network's sales by 70% as many supporters believe the site is no longer independent. The network is fighting these "fake auctions" in court while continuing to offer medical-grade supplements like Ultra 12 B12.

In federal court, the Democrat-led effort to shut down InfoWars continues with allegations of bankruptcy fraud and rigged auctions. The judge has agreed to review the auction process after evidence emerged that the U.S. Trustee blocked higher bids to ensure the company's destruction. Despite reports of a sale to The Onion and Michael Bloomberg's Everytown group, InfoWars remains operational as legal battles over the company's assets escalate.

Trustee Chris Murray is accused of rigging the November 13, 2024, auction by changing the rules the day before the event to favor a lower bid from The Onion. The purchase was reportedly funded by Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization backed by Michael Bloomberg. Jones describes arriving at the studio at 8:00 AM on November 14th to find the internet being cut off during Harrison Smith's live broadcast.

Chase Geiser provides a final update on the status of InfoWars, explaining that the network could be shut down as early as January 15th depending on court rulings. He reassures listeners that the crew will move to the Alex Jones Network (AJN) if the main site is seized. Jones concludes the broadcast by asking for financial support through the Alex Jones Store to fund his "offensive" legal strategy against the deep state.

Judge Christopher Lopez ruled that the attempted auction of InfoWars to The Onion was "doomed from the beginning" due to a lack of transparency and the use of "fiat money" in the bidding process. The judge acknowledged that Alex Jones has an economic interest in a fair sale and ordered the trustee to return in January with a legitimate deal. This ruling allows InfoWars to continue broadcasting into the start of the Trump presidency.

Judge Chris Lopez has scheduled an evidentiary hearing to investigate the "so-called sale" of InfoWars, noting that the definition of an auction requires selling to the highest bidder. The judge expressed concern that the process was conducted in secret and did not result in a maximum return for creditors. This legal intervention has temporarily prevented The Onion from taking control of the media platform.

Alex Jones returned to the InfoWars studios in Austin, Texas, claiming a major victory against corporate media reports of the company's sale. Jones alleged that the auction involving The Onion and a Democratic gun control group was rigged and lacked judicial authorization. The broadcast resumed on X and the InfoWars website after a brief shutdown by a court-appointed trustee.

Judge Chris Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston held an emergency hearing regarding the sale of InfoWars to The Onion and Everytown for Gun Safety. The judge expressed concerns that the process did not meet the legal definition of an auction, which requires a public sale to the highest bidder. Jones asserted that the sale was a private transaction disguised as an auction to silence his platform.

Alex Jones reports from a backup studio on November 15, 2024, following a federal judge's decision to question the transparency of the auction for InfoWars. The judge halted the sale to The Onion, citing that the process did not constitute a real auction and lacked transparency. Jones claims that lawyers for Elon Musk were present at the hearing and that the U.S. Trustee from the Justice Department exceeded their legal authority.

News breaks that The Onion, supported by the Sandy Hook families and the Democratic Party, has won the bid for InfoWars. Jones questions the transparency of the bid, noting that his representatives were told the process was "competitive" but were not given specific figures. He compares his legal situation to that of the Menendez brothers and asserts that his "redemption arc" is accelerating despite the loss of his primary platform.
