This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
In the real world, world actions
have consequences:
Liberty University is holding
them accountable,
Liberty, President himself, Jerry
Caldwell Jr.
They wrote all of these
headlines, not one kid got:
Covid 19
they. Apparently you have no
trespassing signs that came from
an actual hot spot to a place
that was in hot spot.
They didnt give you an
opportunity to respond.
Not only are they a bigoted
bunch of liars but also
Buzzfeed type Clickbait
publication?
They are also stupid because
they came on campus. We had twenty five,
at least no trespassing signs.
We got warrants out for their
arrest.
They had to deal with local
prosecutor from going to jailer.
It thats how dumb they are.
They got their information. They
are here for a few days. I
think
they got their information from
a doctor who has a practice
ten miles away from liberty.
A few kids had a cold and upper
respiratory problems.
None of them had cobit symptoms. He told them that
he wouldnt do it.
He wouldnt do it.
They didnt talk to us that we
tried to get them correct all of
the false headlines that they
just recited they wouldnt. Do
it
the actually double down.
We had no choice, they left us
no choice but to defund our
reputation because it scared
parents.
We had one thousand two hundred kids here. Some of
them had elderly relatives living in their home didnt
living in their home didnt
have high speed internet
out of eight thousand, normally here
theres about one thousand two hundred here this
spring. We abided by all of the
governors rules and not one
case.
Not one case came out of the
Spirit, is zero Sean. I read the dash it.
I read the dash. It
was a powerfully written case.
It is poorly worded needs to be
revamped.
Hes going to be a very rich
kid.
When I think of cases and
lawyers, I think of Lynwood one
of the best
I know Michael Bowie, Michael
Bowie, happens to be a friend of
mine,
one of the best as well.
You are going all the way
these lawsuits take years and
can be very expensive.
Thats, okay,
its expensive for them too
New York Times versus Sullivan,
is one of the first,
its a license to lie its not
like that in every country
in the United Kingdom, its much
easier to beat the tabloids when
they lie about you. When you are
a public figure
in the United States, you have to
prove malicious intent.
I think we have that year.
You are right about Michael
Bowie. He is one of the best in
the country,
im, glad hes on my side and not
someone elses
if thats the case
theres something called
discovery
that may bring us into the inner
workings of what is said in
the New York Times and im
sure. By now they have received a
preservation letter from Michael
Bowie is saying: dont erase it
dont delete it. Dont pull a
hilly were going to follow
your case.
Your case
were going to follow your lead.
I hope you do because you
need to be tough. Like me, Sean
I dont have any
spare time discovery years. I
have the money. I can pay for
a deposition.
You can make it the time
I deserve. It ill tell you
that
its because they lied and said
the doctor was in charge of all
of the public health, a
student health on campus.
He wasnt.
He told them that the doctor on
campus was
because you gave them a chance.
Didnt you,
you gave them a chance to
correct the record and they.
