Today's episode features a deep dive into the latest developments in the lawsuit brought by parents of the victims in the Sandy Hook Massacre against Alex Jones and Infowars for repeatedly portraying the school shooting as a hoax.

We begin, however, with a question regarding our views of the 2016 Presidential Election from a Trump supporter who's hate-funding us.\xa0 Hey, we're good to our word!

After that, it's time to dig in to the defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones.\xa0 We tackle the minutiae -- standing, jurisdiction, statute of limitations -- and the big issues as well.\xa0 If you want to know where defamation law is headed in this era of "fake news," well, this is the show for you!

Then, it's time for a quick visit to Yodel Mountain to check in on Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen.\xa0 Because of course it is.

Finally, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #110, which involved a dentist being sued for malpractice and product liability. As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
