1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: It's that time. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: Time, time, time, luck and load. 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: So Michael Verie Show is on the air. 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 3: Since you brought up the declassification report that was put 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 3: out by Senator Grassley today, I'm glad you brought it 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 3: up because this should be a story every outlet in 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: this room should be covering. This is further evidence that 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton approved the Russia hoax against President Trump, her 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 3: campaign financed it. Again, she approved it, and the FBI 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: and the CIA were both weaponized to, as our Director 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: of CIA has said, accelerate this hoax against then candidate 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 3: and former President Trump. 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 4: This has come from the highest levels of the Russian government, 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 4: clearly from Pluton himself, in an effort, as seventeen of 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 4: our intelligence agencies have confirmed, to influence our election. So 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 4: I actually think the most important question of this evening, Chris, 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 4: is fine, will Donald Trump admit and condemn that the 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 4: Russians are doing this and make it clear that he 19 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 4: will not have the help of Putin in this election. 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 5: There is no denying that the Russians interfered in the election, 21 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 5: right whether or not they had willing or unwitting help 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 5: from the Trump team, they interfered, and they did so 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 5: to help him and hurt me. 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 6: Putin's principal interests relating to the twenty sixteen election were 25 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 6: to undermine faith in the US democratic process, not show 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 6: any preference of a certain candidate. In fact, this report 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 6: shows Putin held back from leaking compromising material on Hillary 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 6: Clinton prior to the election, instead planning to release it 29 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 6: after the election to weaken what Moscow viewed as an 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 6: inevitable Clinton president. High level DNC emails that detailed evidence 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 6: of Hillary's quote psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 6: and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 6: a daily regiment of heavy tranquilizers. 34 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of 35 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in 36 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 4: our country. 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: Because you supported Donald Trump in twenty fifteen, maybe you 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: were sick and tired of Barack Obama and the Democrats. 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: Maybe you were sick and tired of Bush Republicans and 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: you didn't want Jeb to be the president, which it 41 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: looked like he would be the Republican nominee. Maybe you 42 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: were tired of the same old politics and politicians. Maybe 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: you hoped that Donald Trump would storm in there like 44 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: a bull in a china shop and burn the place 45 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: of the ground, because that's the only way we could 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: start over and rebuild and make America great again. Whatever 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: your reason, or maybe maybe you weren't on that campaign, 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: maybe you didn't come around until twenty twenty or twenty 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: twenty four. Maybe it was the first election you voted 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: for in a long time, or maybe it's the first 51 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: election you qualified by a to get to vote for. 52 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Whatever your reason, pat yourself on the back. If you 53 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: weren't at an airport over the weekend, you probably didn't 54 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: see what CNN said about Donald Trump. And wait before 55 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: you say you don't care, trust me you do. CNN's 56 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: Harry Inton is part of the latest incarnation of CNN 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: trying to move back to the middle. You know, Hey, 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: the sky is blue, We're not going to claim it's 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: green or red. Hey water's wet, We're not going to 60 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: claim it's not. Hey, Trump's really popular and really effective, 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: and some of what he does, no matter how much 62 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: you hate him, is going to be to your benefit 63 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: and that of America, and maybe we shouldn't deny it. 64 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: Here is Harry Inton part of the CNN's staff over 65 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: the weekend. Listen carefully, because this one's going to shock you. 66 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: The Donald Trump at gustration is arguably the most influential 67 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: this century, and probably as well dating back a good 68 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: portion of the last century as well. Love it like it, 69 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: lump it Trump is remaking in the United States of America. 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: Let's talk about tariffs first, right, there's all this talk 71 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump always chickens out when it comes to 72 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: taris uh uh no tacos for Trump. The effective tariffray 73 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: get this, it's eighteen percent, the highest, the highest since 74 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: the FDR administration in the nineteen thirties, up from get this, 75 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: just two percent last year, from just two percent last year. 76 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: We're talking about a level, an effective tariff rate level 77 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: get this, nine times as high this year than last year. 78 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 2: But is not just on tariff's which of course Donald 79 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: Trump ran on, in which you're seeing a tremendously influential presidency. 80 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: What about immigration. Of course Trump ran and has always 81 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: run on a very hawkish immigration platform. 82 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: Get this. 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five net migration in the United States down 84 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: at least sixty percent from last year. In fact, we 85 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: may be heading for the first time and at least 86 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: fifty years in which we have negative, negative migration into 87 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: the United States. And last year, of course, in twenty 88 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: twenty four, the migration in the US was two point 89 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: eight million. This year we might be talking about negative 90 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: net migracious. My goodness, gracious. Now, of course this is 91 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: part of the larger story. As I was mentioning, we're 92 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: talking about immigration, net migration, we're talking about the effective 93 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 2: tariff rate. But get this, how is Donald Trump doing it? 94 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: While he is signing a ton of executive orders? Get this, 95 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty the most in a year since 96 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, you have to. 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: Go back to the first half of the twentieth century, 99 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: the last century, and to make a comparison, Joe Biden 100 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: signed get this, just seventy seven during his entire first year. 101 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: And we're only a little bit in August so far, 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump making history with one hundred and eighty, 103 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty executive orders signed so. 104 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: Far this year. 105 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: So that's why I said that, in my mind, Donald 106 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: Trump is the most influential president of this century and 107 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: probably dating back a good portion of the last century. That 108 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: is because he is remaking the country in terms of tariffs, 109 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: he is remaking the country in terms of net migration, 110 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: and he is remaking the country in terms of how 111 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: much policy changes he's putting through in executive orders. As 112 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: I said, it truly is history making love it, like it, 113 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: or lump it. 114 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: What's interesting about Trump's incredible influence and the executive orders 115 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: is they are incredibly popular. They are, you know, keeping 116 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: boys out of girls sports. Over ninety percent of Americans 117 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: support that. What Trump is doing is making Americans believe, oh, 118 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: there is someone with common sense. What else Trump is 119 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: doing is he's making Congress irrelevant. The idea of a 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: bunch of speeches for a bunch of wax and then 121 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: concerns people are tired of. You don't need that. It's silly, 122 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: it's kabuki theater. Just solve the problem for all of 123 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: the Michael Verry Shaw CNN calls Donald Trump the most 124 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: influential president of this century and much of the last, 125 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: going back all the way to FDR for pure influence. 126 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: FDR famously wanted to pack the Supreme Court because nine 127 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: justices did not give him the ability to avoid their 128 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: review of his actions. He would be struck down on 129 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: many things he was doing that were unconstitutional, so he 130 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: sought to add more, diluting those justices on the court 131 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: and thereby enabling himself to become a king. For all 132 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: the no kings talk that we've heard about Donald Trump, 133 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: he's operating very much within the realm of what is 134 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: appropriate it and that's partly why he's so gnorn popular. 135 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: It's not giveaways in some sense, it's takeaways getting people 136 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: out of the country we don't need. They're many more, 137 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: many more we need to get rid of. But here 138 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 1: is Michael Smerconish, I mentioned this earlier on CNN giving 139 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: very good advice to Democrats that frankly, CNN has clearly 140 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: taken because CNN is dead and they know it. They 141 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: moved too far to the left. They got too wacky, 142 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: they got too crazy, they got too weird, just as 143 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats did. And here's what Smerconish. 144 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 7: Said, that kitchen think strategy is. It might sound counterintuitive, 145 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 7: but maybe what's in the party's best interest is to 146 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 7: dare I say, agree with Trump from time to time, 147 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 7: acknowledge wins on issues like NATO, trade and the border, 148 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 7: which have us did some positive results, even while disagreeing 149 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 7: with the way in which they can. It's a good 150 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 7: thing that migration through our previously poorous borders has slowed 151 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 7: to a trickle, and that our NATO allies have agreed 152 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 7: to increase their contribution from two to five percent of 153 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 7: gross domestic product, and that the markets, despite having just 154 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 7: had a rough week, have done well in the year 155 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 7: to day. 156 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Inflation seems to be tamed. 157 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 7: Plus, while Trump's tariff policy look like it was implemented 158 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 7: by the seat of his pants, thus far, all the 159 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 7: doomsday fears have not panned out. 160 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: He refers to the Democrat's kitchen sink strategy. This let's 161 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: just keep throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him. 162 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: Let's criticize everything he does all the time. Here's the difference. 163 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: The American people are awake now. The American people no 164 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: longer trust the media. When Trump started and he started 165 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: criticizing the media, much as Rush Limbaugh used to remember 166 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: the drive by media, he would refer to when Trump 167 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: started criticizing the media early on, many people felt that 168 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: was a bad idea. Hey man, these are the people 169 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: who are covering you. These are the people who buy 170 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: ink by the barrel. They're on the air twenty four 171 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: hours a day. You can't criticize them, because then they'll 172 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: go back and criticize you and never air you and 173 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: snuff you out. Trump new two things. Number One that 174 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to turn him off if the 175 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: American people loved to see him so much, if everyone 176 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: wanted to see everything he said all the time, you 177 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: could not afford to be a network that did not 178 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: cover him. And that's why was it Jeffrey Uh was 179 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: it kats what's the guy's name that was gosh dogg it? 180 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: What was the guy's name that was head of CNN 181 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: at the time, Jeffrey something Katzenburg. Yeah, So Katzenberg broke 182 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: into a medical report. He ordered that they'd break into Uh, 183 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: what's the doctor that's over there? Yeah? Uha Gupta son 184 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: Jay Gupta. They had done some medical report that was 185 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: probably a bunch of bunk anyway, because they were big vaccinators. 186 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: But they had they were into some some medical report. 187 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: This was twenty sixteen, and they were gonna win all 188 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: these awards for it. Oh, it was gonna be such 189 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: a great medical report. And what happened, Katzenberg said, Trump 190 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: is speaking in somewhere probably Iowa and the senior brass 191 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: there and the producers said, yeah, but this is our 192 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: our big medical report. We're going to win awards for this. 193 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: We put two years into producing this thing. We can't 194 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: cut into this for another Donald Trump's speech. He said, 195 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: that's what Americans want to see, and he was right, 196 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: bad politics, good news judgment, that's what America want to see. 197 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: Once Americans want to see. Cut into Trump and his speech, well, 198 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: he had a walk out. A lot of people at 199 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: CNN walked out at that moment, and they had to 200 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: have a big meeting, a powwow, because all the staff 201 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: were threatening to leave. Because if all we're going to 202 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: do is cover Trump's speeches, then how are we going 203 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: to control the American people. We hate Trump, We don't 204 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: want to give Trump any oxygen. We don't want people 205 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: to watch Trump. We don't want to promote Trump by 206 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: having him on the air. And Katzenberg said, if we 207 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: don't air Trump, everybody else will. So if they can't 208 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: get Trump on our station, they'll get Trump somewhere else, 209 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: and they're coming to see Trump more than your little 210 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: medical report. When Trump is on, we go to Trump. 211 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: And it was just that simple Harmona, do we play 212 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the kitchen sink strategy the second one? All right, let's 213 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: hit that. 214 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 7: Now that kitchen sink strategy isn't working so well. Actually 215 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 7: that's not fair. It is working. It's working well for 216 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 7: Donald J. 217 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: Trump. 218 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 7: Two impeachments, four indictments, endless investigations, constant carping about Trump, 219 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 7: and condescension toward his supporters. At some point, it all 220 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 7: blends in the background noise, such that when something truly 221 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 7: egregious happens, like the firing of the person whose job 222 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 7: it is to track labor statistics, nobody pays attention. The 223 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 7: outrage loses its edge, the tree falls, and the forest shrugs. 224 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: But that's partly because information is more accessible. You've got 225 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: more people who do what I do. You've got more 226 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: people who are on Twitter, who are doing research. You've 227 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: got really smart people. There are lots of good people 228 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: in radio. There are lots of good people writing commentary. 229 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: There are lots of good people podcasting. So now we know, yeah, 230 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: he fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics person, you know, 231 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: the one that was screwing things up for the last 232 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: few years. Yeah, we know. We're not upset. I know 233 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: you want us to be upset, but we're not stilled. 234 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Michael Berry's shows nine years since the first round of 235 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: awful was done to Donald Trump, you know, we haven't 236 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: even begun to talk about twenty to twenty yet. During 237 00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election, Democrats and let's not forget this establishment, 238 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: Republicans and the media, the cabal, the swamp, they looked 239 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: down on Trump, and frankly, let's be honest, the people 240 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: who supported him the way that old money looks down 241 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: on new money. They're dirty, they're unsophisticated, they've not been around, 242 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: they don't know how to act. We don't want them here. 243 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: We're the club. We don't want them in it. Trump 244 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: was an outsider. He didn't speak like them, he didn't 245 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: use the coded language. He didn't speak nicely about them 246 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: in public, even if they disagreed in private. So it 247 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't surprise you when Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi sat 248 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: down for a fancy dinner with CNN two two thousand 249 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: and seven to brag about how they quote outwitted Trump 250 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: on the government shutdown. I'm sorry the government shutdown was 251 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. It shouldn't surprise you to hear them 252 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: brag on themselves on how much smarter they were than 253 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Give this a. 254 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 7: Listen, And Nancy said something to him about he didn't 255 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 7: understand about women. 256 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: Chuck was masterful, Well he was. She set him up 257 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: so I could go in for the kill, but he 258 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: was masterful. 259 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 8: He's talking to him about the government shutdown, about the 260 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 8: immigrants and arrest and he says, I take ownership of. 261 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: So, mister president, will you own the shutdown? 262 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: Yes? I will? And that was oh, thank you very much. 263 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 7: There are a series of moments that you saw. 264 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 9: First hint, here's the claps, tearing up the speech, and. 265 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: Then there is the famous picture. 266 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: It's the meeting in the cabinet room where. 267 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: You stood up and confronted. 268 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: Looking back at those moments, what was going through your mind? 269 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: He said, he doesn't stand a chance. What's amazing to 270 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: me is at this moment they believe they are so 271 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: much smarter and better than Trump. Well, I can tell 272 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: you nine years later, Trump has humiliated them. He has 273 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: not just defeated them in every way, and they had 274 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: far greater resources at their disposal, including half the Republican Party, 275 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: maybe more, and he has humiliated them. And where are 276 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: they today? Chuck Schumer is best known for a staged 277 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: burger flip where he clearly has never been in front 278 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: of a grill, in front of his life, in his life, 279 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: and of all the dumb things he's ever done and said, 280 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: that will be remembered more than anything else. He has 281 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: become a meme. When you've become a meme, especially one 282 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: intended to humiliate you, you never recover. The meme is bigger 283 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: than you are. The meme is bigger than life. And 284 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, what's happened to her? Well, her teeth keep 285 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: falling out, her husband got a DWI and then he 286 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: got something else and got hammered by Lord knows, Lord knows. 287 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: I don't even want to know what was going on 288 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: in that house, but it ain't good. There was the 289 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: COVID shutdown where she came in and got her hair 290 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: done in a closed salon that's not supposed to be opened. 291 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: And the owner of the salon was so angry in 292 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: San Francisco that Nancy Pelosi had pushed to have everything 293 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: closed down in San Francisco and then wanted it open 294 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: just for her, that she exposed the video. Nancy Pelosi 295 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: has become a joke. She has become a punchline. She's 296 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: no longer the speech speaker, of course, and now she's 297 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: living in fear of prison over her insider trading, which 298 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: is widely discussed and widely known. My mind, it's a 299 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: great thing to live long enough to be proven to 300 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: be wise. It's a great thing to live long enough 301 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: to see the the adulation that your work presented. Victor Hugo, 302 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: for instance, died penniless and an outcast. Herman Melville never 303 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: knew what would become of Moby Dick, the great American novel. 304 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: He had no idea. It was fifty years later until 305 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: it was picked back up. Fox News is reporting that 306 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice has launched a major o Ramon said, 307 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 1: I didn't finish that sentence. Well, Trump is getting to 308 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: see that his wisdom came to pass. It all came, 309 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: He got the victory, and he gets to savor it. 310 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: Fox News is reporting that the Department of Justice has 311 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: launched a major purge investigation of all illegals and dead 312 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: people on voter rolls across the country. 313 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 9: Drop administration looking to boost election integrity as the DOJ 314 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 9: opens a nationwide investigation into voter roles. The department is 315 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 9: calling on local officials to identify felons, dead voters, and 316 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 9: also non citizens who might have cast a ballot. David 317 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 9: Spott is live from Washington with more on this one. 318 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 10: Hi, David, Hi, Aisha, Good Morning Today, Next week, the 319 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 10: week after, and so on. DOJ officials will continue to 320 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 10: work on what they call the department a serious problem 321 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 10: with our voter rules. This all stems from a March 322 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 10: executive order signed by President Trump, which states, in part, 323 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 10: the Attorney General shall, consistent with applicable laws, coordinate with 324 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 10: state attorneys general to assist with state level review and 325 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 10: prosecution of aliens unlawfully registered to vote or casting votes. 326 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 10: Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed her team to check 327 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 10: counties across the United States, but California is a big focus, 328 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 10: as is Texas and Minnesota. The DJ plans to prosecute 329 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 10: any foreign nationals that get caught voting. A DOJ source 330 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 10: tells Fox News election integrity starts with clean voter roles. 331 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 10: That's the foundation for secure elections. There's been a culture 332 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 10: of non compliance from several states that don't keep their 333 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 10: roles updated. This DOJ is cracking down now. The Justice 334 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 10: Department wants local officials to identify and remove felons, dead voters, 335 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 10: non residents, and non citizens from voter roles. Recently, the 336 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 10: Department charged in a Rocky Man for illegal voting in 337 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 10: twenty twenty in the state of New York. Took several 338 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 10: years to catch that one. Last year, a nineteen year 339 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 10: old Chinese national was charged in Michigan with perjury and 340 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 10: attempting to vote illegally in the twenty twenty four election. 341 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 10: Now I should the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE took 342 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 10: a big hand in stopping illegal voting. Even though Elon 343 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 10: Musk no longer with that agency, DOGE itself still has 344 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 10: a hand in this movement. Finding illegal voters will take time, 345 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 10: but the Justice Department is in regular contact with the 346 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 10: White House about the latest progress fulfilling this executive order. 347 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 10: Michael Barry's show, if he doesn't say it, damn who will? 348 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: On our morning show today have Kim Mudd, our creative director, 349 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: had commented to me that it hit him when he 350 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: had read an email from a listener that said, with 351 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan dying, And obviously this was recently with h 352 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: Hogan dying. A piece of my childhood died because Hulk 353 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: Hogan had been very important to him as a child. 354 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: And he said, we often asked questions of our show team, 355 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, what was the person whose death? For instance, 356 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: our question to each other was what was the person 357 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: whose death when you were a kid? I'm sorry, what 358 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: was the person who's death later in your life represented 359 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: a piece of your childhood dying? And Daryl Kunda said 360 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: mister Rogers. And mister Rogers didn't die until two thousand 361 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: and three, when Kunda was twenty six years old, but 362 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: that represented that's a piece of my childhood I've kept 363 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: tucked away and now it's gone. Ramon said that his 364 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: was John Ritter, and I guess we all have a 365 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: piece of our childhood. So I asked the question of listeners, 366 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of them, said John Wayne John Ritter. 367 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: Lucille Ball I received an email from a listener and 368 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: he said, zar my hero was Rush Limbaugh. I was 369 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: born and raised by two Australian Labor Party voting school teachers. 370 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: I came to the US as a foreign high school student, 371 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: and by sheer luck, changing channels came upon Rush Limbaugh. 372 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: I started listening. Then I bought his first book. My 373 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: reaction was, my parents and these school teachers are wrong. 374 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: I'm now a starch conservative, much to the horror of 375 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 1: my parents, all because I was randomly changing channels after school. 376 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: One day, when he died, I got teary ad as 377 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: he played such a huge role in the man I 378 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: am today. He had such an amazing ability to explain concepts, 379 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: much like Milton Friedman, where a rational human would have 380 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: trouble not agreeing. You know, I always thought, growing up 381 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: in a home where nobody had formal education beyond high school, 382 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: I always thought that smart people spoke in very elevated terms, 383 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: and they used the largest words in order to make 384 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: their point that could possibly be employed at the moment. 385 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: And then I went to law school at the University 386 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: of Texas and I studied in the library, the Joe 387 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: Jamail Library, and Joe Jamail was a graduate of the 388 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: University of Texas, and he was known as the King 389 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: of Torts. Torts are when you are wrong. They're not criminal, 390 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: they're civil, and that's where you get the big judgments. 391 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: They're not based in a contract. That's contract law, for 392 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: which a breach would be your cause of action a 393 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: tort is hey, you came up and knocked me in 394 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: the head. I can go to the cops for a 395 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: criminal case that the state brings against you, but all 396 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: I get out of that is the joy of knowing. 397 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: At best you go to prison. In a civil case, 398 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: a tourt case, I can get paid a lot of money, 399 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: and my lawyer typically keeps about forty percent of that. 400 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: That's the captain. In the state of Texas well, Joe 401 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: Jamail was known as the King of torts. He won 402 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: the largest case to that time, which was the Pennzoil 403 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: Texico case, and Joe Jamail, who had been a d 404 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: student in the course of law, that he would end 405 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: up making more money than most anybody else. Ever, in 406 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: practice he was very good at it, but in the 407 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: student in the classroom not so good. And Joe Jamail's 408 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: case a ten billion dollar case at Memory Serves between 409 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Pensil and Texico. Texico had started I think nineteen oh 410 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: nine as the Texas company, but they had moved to 411 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: New York over the years and they had wronged Pensoil. 412 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: That was the case. Hugh Litkey, who was George Bush's 413 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: business partner. I'm going by memory. So I might be 414 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: wrong with some of this, but trust me most of 415 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: us right. And Jamail goes into the courtroom in Texico. 416 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: This multi billion this is David versus Goliath, and Jo 417 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Jamail is representing David, and Goliath has all these lawyers Cravass, 418 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: swam in More, you know, the big bad, tough firms 419 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: and all these lawyers. And they come in and they're 420 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: paid a lot of money per hour, and they've got 421 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: all these exhibits and all this and Jo Jamail it 422 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: comes time for him to close the case and he said, 423 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just a country lawyer. I'm just a 424 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: country lawyer. You know, these guys have gone to Harvard 425 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: and Yale and all these big fancy law schools. I 426 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: couldn't get into those law schools. I just went to 427 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: little law school down in Texas. Those the University of Texas, 428 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: pretty darn good, top ten in the country. But he's 429 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: playing a part here, and he said, I didn't go 430 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: to these fancy law schools like these for Harvard and 431 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: Yale and Columbia and Stanford and all these ivy League schools. 432 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm just a dumb country lawyer. And I'll tell you 433 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: this case. They've shown all these grass and charts. They 434 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: brought all these fancy people with PhDs and fancy degrees, 435 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: and they've put all these glossy materials in front of you, 436 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: and they've used a bunch of words that I've been 437 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: to law school and I don't understand them. And they're 438 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: talking about breaches of this and contract says and all that. 439 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you what this case comes down to, 440 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the jury. When you shake your hand, 441 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: When you shake hands with a man and you look 442 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: him in the eye and you tell him we got 443 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: a deal, do you believe you got a deal? Or 444 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: in your mind do you think if I don't want 445 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: to honor this handshake, I don't have to. These people 446 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: will tell you that maybe he crossed his fingers behind 447 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: his back, Maybe he crossed his toes Texico Corporations, multi 448 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: billion dollar corporation. They can pay lawyers to twist you 449 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: in such a pretzel you won't understand up from down 450 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: and right from wrong. They'll tell you there's legal language 451 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: in there that nobody ever reads that says that they 452 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: can break a contract, they can break a man's back, 453 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: they can destroy you because they've got the money to 454 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: hire lawyers to convince a jury that it doesn't matter 455 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: because you don't matter. Because they're rich and you're not. 456 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: They can enter into contracts with small companies like my client, 457 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: and they got all this money and they'll destroy you 458 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: if you dare try to say that's not right. You 459 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: can't do that. We relied on you. You're going to 460 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: send us into bankruptcy. We worked hard to build this company. 461 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: You see, this case comes down to a simple question. 462 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: When you shake a man's hand and you look him 463 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: in the eye, can you tell him we have a contract? 464 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: Do you believe you have a contract? Because Tesco doesn't 465 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: Pennzul does. That was Joe Jamail talking directly to a jury, 466 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: making it accessible, and he made fun of the big 467 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: fancy lawyers and their big fancy words. That's what Rush did. 468 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: That is the torch he passed to us in the 469 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: University of Life as the mayor of Realville, day in 470 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: and day out, with one arm tied behind his back, 471 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: he taught us how to understand the swamp in a 472 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: way that nobody ever has. So yeah, that was a 473 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: big loss.
