I want to join this year's national prayer breakfast

So where do we turn face this morning? A defiant president trump

Who use their faith as justification.
For doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say
I pray for you when they know that that's not so
The Bible tells us. We be
Endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning,
We need a leaner one, another

May God bless you all a different tack,
You know it reminds me of a viable oversight, is
While I was watching the Matthews seven fifteen through twenty King James version, but where a few
profits which come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly, they are ravening wolves
ye shall know them.
By their fruits
hell no them by their Briggs Willie. I you know I've been that prayer book.
This now the people who run it saw what

a group that bent the knee to a man to Donald Trump during this and we're gonna hear from Senator Ben,
ass of Nebraska in just a few minutes who put out at a really
making video yesterday making the point that this should not be about the.
Ship of one man. It should be about doing what's right in what's good for the country and good government and we say
time and again over the last four years, people throwing everything to decide to bend a need to Donald Trump.
You know they reduced also well what words saying that this prayer breakfast because engineer
It was a really know about food sort about abortion. You have
bizarre- and it is bizarre,

You have had this.
Bizarre trend in

You cannot reduce Jesus,

but I dont know we're going to start at the top like that, make I'm so glad we did cause it once again.
It just shows the hypocrisy of religious leaders who, kowtowing to this to this falls profit just to have a little
lamps of power and the sick and personality is always he made of the prior breakfast time and you can really see the difference that wish just showed you in that Ben says. Speech will be play
for you. It was pretty and
a born and brought home the message on it.
Level, along with Joe willing in May, we have boards
when, in columnist, an associate ever the Washington Post and MSNBC political analysts, Eugene, Robinson and busy NEWS
Little Hill correspondent in host of way to Worley, Casey, hunt and senior political core
one in four, the Washington examiner David Trucker. We have
of stories to get to this Friday morning. Former President Donald Trump rejects Democrats request for him to testify it. His impeachment trial present impasse.
Heads to the State Department and lays out his vision for Europe
foreign policy. The? U S,
It voted on amendments through the night bringing Democrats one step closer to passing President Biden, covert relief and oppress Paul Joe Biden,
job approval rating is at sixty one percent, but that's quite high. Really, I'm not really good. At this politics thing I would follow marges at usually we're presence or no not read the gate like that at sixty one percent of it in a divided nation. So he's pudding
down in and trying to avoid the fight. That's happening up work over impeachment in the United States Senate,
and to show that he's getting things down and that continued overnight, as
It said with another step toward the passage of this massive
relief bill that the american people waiting for you.
Living is again. Are you we will you look at those numbers and David Drucker
than among conservatives, that I know who voted for Donald Trump and why
och into so many of my friends and family members and like your voting for him, why
always started by saying he exhaust me. I'm
so exhausted. I wish it shut up. I wish you'd go away. I wish he'd just sign bills
there was such an exhaustion. I wonder when we see anywhere
forty nine to sixty one percent approval writing with Zobeide if it's nice
even some moderates out there may be some moderate Republicans. It did vote for Joe Biden has just like God,
now why it's really good beer
we have dinner with the family and not be talk
about the latest phrased danger
saying coming out of Washington D C
I think that was one of the things that they heard. President Trump and the campaign, especially with corona viruses that voters
voters in the right places that matter in the presidential election wanted to see some competent
management, and then they wanted to have this idea that somebody at the top was leading and taking care of it.
The thing and for a lot of voters, they couldn't get that sense from President Trump, because he was constantly
Blaming governors blaming mayors were problems happening with the vote,
yes and the pandemic, and he wasn't Tom,
everybody and taking care of at your step, one step to set free and the interesting thing about boaters? Sometimes they will open
Work and we ve seen as well a lot of approval rate
with governors at least over the first six
seven eight months the pandemic. Even if
aren't going well and the things that they are doing a politician is doing is not working if they get the sense that you're being up front with them about the problem that you're trying to
said and your taking steps and that you are in charge. They gonna give you a lot of leeway and are actually gonna feel good about the job you're doing over
time they will start to look at the results and over time they will start to look at the agenda a little bit deeper and overtime. Nay. Might yet
might get upset and they might, you might see, approval ratings change. We seen that with certain governors.
Forty eight Governor Newsome is one example of that, but right out of the game
Joe Biden is producing a difference
I'll of management than its predecessor and people feel like he is taking steps to fix the problem and if he they can feel like there is,
progress, then this sort of reaction from voters will continue if they
in to feel like he's, not getting the job done. Then, what
to see some eggs from voters and you'll have to deal with it. We are uniting a gap
where's gather Newsome goes Jean Robs, and a lot of that has to do with the timing is dying, show visas by but also,
I think that you see that has surprised me. I always thought we needed to stay in Paris as a conservative. I felt we needed to stay in the Paris accords.
Very interesting. Looking at some of these presidential orders that he signed. I think I care what that's can be. Fifty fifty that's gonna, that's,
divide the country. Why do these things at ease signed already early? Seventeen thirty issues? Eighty twenty issues there is sexual sexual
orientation
nomination. What whatever the that part of his agenda that he signed as like? Ok, that's a fifty fifty because we heard an awful lot from
the right on that. I think that clocked in
Seventy five, twenty five eighty twenty people are like
a lot of these things that we ve heard we're gonna, be so divisive through the years are actually said
Many thirty issues.
Yeah they are, and you know I think the other thing people area
to Joe is what you know:
actual a government that looks like
what awaited it did. You know it's not a bunch of crazy tweets, its actual
serious actions, whether exact warders propose legislation
moving it pretty much
some sort of regular
order there there updates by the scientists and the doctors on Corona Vice President Biden comes
explains its policies and what he's trying to accomplish and and and how we try to help people. I was trying to help
meetings and families across the nation.
Of course she sits wandering too that's. Why are you trying to do? It is another thing to actually actually deliver, but just the sort of normal lives
and peaceful pseudonyms or non craziness deserted.
Inspiration, I think, is reflected and then sixty one percent figure. It's like
the war started me remember: oh yeah! This is supposed to be like it's not supposed to be. The way it was all has warrior. Yassin
Let's get to the latest with a civil war within the Republican Party after House GEO, p leadership fail to take
action against Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor, green for her inflammatory?
social media posts and spreading of violent crime
piracy theories. Democrats yesterday took
measure into their own hands with the unprecedented
move to strip her from her committee assignments. Eleven Republicans joined all Democrats
backing greens, removal from her two committees, one
ninety nine Republicans voted. No speaking,
the house floor yesterday, minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy, warned that Denmark,
We are setting a dangerous new precedent if people are held to what they are said prior to even being in this house.
If majority party gets to decide who sits on what other committees, I hope you keep that standard

majority leader study Hoyer Point now just how recent sum of congresswoman greens, incendiary rhetoric has been on the head:
floor. He dismissed
They social media opposed from greens campaign show
her holding an assault rifle next to three Craig will pointed at three progressive Democrats,
This is an area of tea in the hands of the screen. This was on Facebook.
Just a few months ago.
Fifty to carry out your clip of sixty bulls urge my colleagues to look at that image and tell me what message youth naked sense here. She is armed with a,
play assault rifle four thousand eight hundred and forty three democratic members? You can say in that moment to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is seated just behind Steny Hoyer and just hours before that vote. Congresswomen Green took to the house floor, hoping to recast herself,
her days as she went on. Follower are over
see school shootings are absolutely real and every child that is lost those families more net
I also want to tell you nine eleven absolutely happened. I remember that day cry.
In all day long watching and on the news and that's a tragedy for any.
Say it didn't happen,
Never once said during my entire campaign q and on I never
said any of the things that I am being accused of today during my campaign. I never said any of these things.
Since I have been elected for Congress. These were words of the past and these things do not represent me
They do not represent my district and they do not
is that my values but congresswoman
did espouse, faith and q and on during her campaign, she continued to use q rhetoric. As recently as this week on Sunday, she tweeted in part. What would the list of the anti trump?
rose and associates, look like it would likely contain all the people currently frothing with mtv- hey, that's a tweet from Marjorie Taylor, green. Of course the entire basis of Cumana gets, which is referring to
There is that Democrats, people in the media, other people she doesn't like are pedophiles
cannibals and satanic worshippers. Here is Marjorie
Taylor Green as a candidate last July.
He and the video you say quote: Q is a patriot. Do you believe that assembly
I've only ever seen patriotic sentiment coming out of that source and other sources. You know there's a lot of censorship, unfortunately from big tack on social media, and this is the tigers, censorship that Americans are so tired of, and that is due to a particular source to get censored tremendously. Think Twitter has just announced recently last week that it'll be removing any one that associate themselves with was Q Annan by yet there's never been a new dangerous rhetoric coming out of a people like back. Ok, so caves, you both July twenty. Twenty, that's cannon
it. Marjorie Taylor, Green, saying again of Cuban on I've only ever seen patriotic sentiment.
Out of that source here yesterday and that floor speech. She asked for
mercy said she doesn't believe any of those things any more. She had quote
allowed to believe things that weren't true passive voice. Someone allowed her to believe those things. I never
thought I would ever see a speech like that on the house, or I don't know about the rest of you guys by watching me.
Yesterday I was just stunned that someone had to go down there and say: oh yes, nine eleven that actually happened. All those people actually died. I swear. I saw it on tv myself, I mean it's, it's it.
Just mind boggling and two to pick up on on Jos, point about Kevin Mccarthy and Republicans
not wrong to say it's unprecedented for the Majority Party to strip members of their committee assignments, but I think it's also
pointing out that when
Hon Omar Congresswoman, Johann Omar made remarks that work.
It ought to be Anti semitic and she was criticised by members of her own party. Republicans called for her to be stripped of her
many assignments. She wasn't, but she did actual
face a resolution on the house floor, condemning the comments that she,
condemning anti Semitism Anti Semitism
is just one
Many things that Marjorie homophobia there
there's a long list of others. You saw that poster that she put up on the house floor and
You know just to give you a sense of of how
things are inside the capital now walking to and from that
a floor to these votes? She gets in a fight with another african American.
Black member of Congress, Corey Bush Nancy Pelosi talked about that there is legitimate.
That she does in fact that shit,
Those apologies are not actually real. She does in fact support violence against them that it's more than just that campaign poster.
And that suddenly there are members of Congress who really do feel like their safety is in jeopardy, especially after January.
So I mean it's: it is an incredible statement about where we are that she had to give that speech, that Republicans in her party stood up and said. No, actually, it's fine. We want her to be on on her committees.
Right and again she she didn't back off, like, for instance, on nine eleven. She talk about. She believed nine, eleven app and all she always said she believe nine, eleven Aben, Kirk and Spirit
he theory about nine eleven, was that applying never crashed into the Pentagon. She didn't back after that
Today she didn't say, I'm sorry, I screwed up, I believe now what she said was what I was led to believe, or I will allow that it was always a lot
I believe this
I began wide about the fact that she continued defending q and on throughout our campaign and again up, listen
let's talk about a couple of weeks ago, we set it yesterday, it's worth repeating today on the sixth. She was encouraging
people. They come out to this rallies. You said she met with Donald Trump and basically said
We ve got a lively coming today we wait and then the seventh day after cop killers after trumped supporting cop killers stormed the Kapital

states, capital to shreds, hey so
ran across a video and in the end, and
you're no other times where somebody who write something that you wish
yeah. Well, that's what exactly what I was thinking of what I would say or something.
Somebody or say something: ok, that's what I've been
trying to say. That's how I ve been trying to say well
and across a video, been SAS talking so
sending a message to them
Ask a republican steering committee, and I thought this:
I've been trying to tell my family
where's that I love and life
and that I love for the past four
years been
as I said it better than I have
unable to save for the past four and a half years, and I would wish
Every republican people.
Mickey highly you were
in IRAN
in four years or are MIKE
Cancer is looking to IRAN in four years or all of these people who are lining themselves up to run it for years.
I wish they would be
honest enough
to say these words to their followers take a look of weapons asset I'll.
And the Nebraska every day, and very few of them are his angry about life as some of the people on this committee, not all of you, but a lot political act
don't represent most Nebraska conservatives, let's be clear
The anger and the State Party has never been about me violating principle or abandoning conservative policy on one of the most conservative voters in the Senate. The anger,
has always been simply about me, not bending the knee to one guy. What American saw three
weeks ago was ugly
shameful mob violence to disrupt a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress to affirm
that peaceful transfer power, it happened because the
I lied to you. He lie
about the election results for sixty days does
losing sixty straight court challenges. Many of them
down by wonderful Trump appointed judges. He lied by saying
the vice president, could just violate as constitutional oath and declare a new winter that wasn't true
He then, while the mob that attacked the capital, many chanting hang pence. If that president were a Democrat, we both,
oh, how you'd respond, but because here
Republican behind his name. Your defending him. Something is
finally changed over the last four years, but it's not me personality colts, aren't conservative
Conspiracy theories aren't conservative.
Lying that an election has been stolen, not conservative, acting like politics,
Their religion, it isn't conservative Nebraska ends- are raging
x and that's good news. You are one
come to censure me again, but let's be cool
about why this is happening. It's because I
still believe, as you use to that politics is about,
weird worship of one dude? The party could purge trump sceptics.
But I'd like to convince you that not only is that civic cancer for the nation, it just terrible
for our party.
Yeah Willie a lot of people get look at this and say with g. I wish Ben Sasse. It said this over the past four and one slash two. You know what I'm glad he's saying it now we had
as a body politic politic. Over the past five years. We still
the cancer there. So I want good people it can reach out to an end.
Start sending this message over an obvious: they shouted Diablo, lousy on Twitter WWW. I didn't do it here that ok, we're dead
with today and moving forward,
and Willie that's an important message that any Republican who wants to lead this party, who wants to,
this country and twenty twenty four needs. This
are sending to their base.
I love the line, especially level.
Especially where he said yes, something saints over the past four years, but has not been made it so funny. When people come up to me,
Therefore- and I ll go you so I gave you a conservative,
I smile, and I let everything go past, but in that I stop people, then their tactical. Ok, really, let's, let's talk through the years
sir,
and twenty minutes later there like. Why did I ever stop this guy because
something has changed, but it's not
It's not what is and what isn't conservative it's the republican base who is followed this?
failed reality tv house and joined a personality cult, and also for me and for what
most important to me. It is there that people
in my church people of my Faye pastors. They group
waste, a personality cold and they replace politics for Faye in Guide
and they will move in that direction for twenty years, but over the past,
for years man. I agree
I ve been says to me: people have replaced their faith with politics, a ruddy go watch, them
about five minutes, you can buy the agreed with him or not whether you like it or not. It's worth just listening to the message at this moment in our
country. In the reason he sat down and made. That speech is because the Nebraska State Republican Party
committee it within that party is debating
censure of benzene
senator, because here
spoke out against the election lie. He called the lie and did from the beginning and said I don't like it, but Joe Biden at present
it states move along and for saying that, for speaking, that truth, there were
working party in the Stave Nebraska wants to censure Vance Ass, so David Drucker, I guess the question is: will other Republicans look at the example of bans?
he talks about. In that speech he made he got a primary. So what a lot of republican sphere is if they speak out against tromp updates.
Got against his movement and his voters. They get a primary, they lose their seat. Thence ass. I said I didn't vote for Trump and twenty. Sixteen didn't both form and twenty twenty. He got a primary. He one is primary by fifty percent,
five zero percent and that, of course went on to win in IRAN in the general election
will other Republicans look at bends ass. I know it's harder and many house districts, but will either
look look at his example and say the cost of speaking out
from time to time, when you think it's worth it when it's important is
that you lose your job, it's that people say. I trust that guy
hey everyone? It's true, mainly MSNBC, corresponded and hosted the PA cast into America Array
once a storm and then a freeze
for Jackson, Mississippi's ancient pipes system to its breaking point most of the peace
Who does what are our black this week into America,
with Jackson Resident living through the crisis. I remember I even thought about luxury animals like oh, my god. We gotta go wash well, there's no water in the city to do
that and mere sharply the member explains how decades of inaction and neglect disrupted the citizen access
to one of the most basic resources. I do think that, if we're being honest
it's a matter of race, search for into America, where we listening now subscribe
dinner, vary from Republican, the Republican, because so many republican voters we discuss this believe present
Trumps depiction of what happened.
Election and vague,
Conservatives in Jos Point not by issues anymore, but by whether or not you have the right enemies and,
whether or not you are willing to fight even against the truth, because they don't look at the truth, the same leg and inciting bench.
Ass, is in a unique position where he has just one reelection. With six year term, he was very quiet leading up to his
Marion Nebraska, which tells you that even he was being very careful about not smoking and anti trump
a backlash, your voters who wanted him to be more.
Firstly, aligned with Trump and we're always uncomfortable with working was and Republicans, and I talk to you now our deal
with this on a daily basis, you ve seen from some Senate Republicans led by minority leader
Mcconnell, a willingness to butter
the house business and speak out against.
Retailer brain, because their worry that this sort of spirit, oral strain of Republican
some is gonna, take over the Party pollute Party and hurt party in next
Here's mid term elections by the same
How can you still have such a strong,
rain of wild
the President Tromp, because every time these Republicans go home,
voters are telling them that we,
they'll believe in Trump and that nothing had happened on January six as
in the end, and so I think the party right now use the thinking
the word civil war is a little bit too strong.
There is a schism and
There is a sort of
the Earl of family food site. If you will, as some report
and say to themselves
It's no longer worth it. If I lose, I lose, but the majority of Republican still want to be around Washington for a lot longer than and tromp was and
not willing to go home and tell
their voters, something that
really don't want to hear and I'll just say this
This is a lot more difficult for them to do,
politically than explaining even a bad or a tough. Oh that's the kind of thing. That's almost.
By comparison. When you look at how
our voters in any of these.
Strikes and states.
What happened in the election and an
a great example of that is marked Sandford.
Works and forget caught in a scandal
yeah scanned Resettle marks, amp it'll never go but give it. You want around just talk
Nobody said this one idea I screwed up, I'm very sorry very humble about it and he went further by voting by voting by Ferber.
Ass for their forgiveness asked for their vote. They gave it to
and he got a wife did back the Congress. But when you only
four Donald Trump nine out of ten times
when you only vote with Donald Trump, ninety percent of it I like marks an for dead.
That gives you voted out. That's where the Republican Party has been over the past
for years. We gotta go scandal, that's fine, but what does that's? That's really weird?
now to the legal ramifications of the big lie.
The voting software company, Smart Matic, is suing Fox NEWS for more than two
point seven billion dollars over false reports. It was part of the consumer,
say to steal the twenty twenty election, the law
filed in New York. State court accused some of the network's hosts, like
who Dobbs Maria barter Romo Engineering, Piero of
tension allay lying about the company in an effort to mislead the public into
false belief that the later,

When you see released a statement yesterday, saying quote Fox is responsible for this
information campaign which has damaged

harmed Smart matic and others
holders who contribute to modern elections, foxes
funded, saying quote Fox NEWS. Media is committed to providing the full context of every story with in depth, reporting and clear opinion we are
out of our twenty twenty election coverage and will vigorously defend this merit list law suit in court.
Spring and former? U S attorney now and NBC News law enforcement analyse, Chuck Rosenberg is joining us on the phone
check. What do you make of this lawsuit? How significant is it? No, I think it's very significant, but I also think Mika. It is hard for public figures or a public company in this case to win these losses, because the Supreme Court has said that if you are a public figure
and you're defamed. Then you have to show actual malice and that's a hard thing to do not impossible and greatly Lee statements that were made on Fox news by bankers and by its guesswork were so far so recklessly fall, so the family- or it might be the case here- that Smart Matic can prevail, we'll have to wait and see it'll take time
for that play out in the courts? But I don't blame them for brain suit. Their business will undermine their reputation, was damaged.
They have every right to try this case in court.
Rights of such law suits, maybe resonating to those outlets that have broadcasts conspiracy theories hears
segment news, MAC Newsman

Under of my pillow, like Lyndal, as
began- an attack on dominion. Voting systems like like your target about machines that better.
We knew smacks of not being able to verify any of those kinds of allegations we just want to. Let people know that there's nothing substantive, that we
Let me read you something there. While there were some clear evidence of the sun case was about around intellectual irregularities. The election result in every state were certified and NEWS Max accepts the results as legal and final. The courts have also supported that view.
So that happened a number of times that kept going until that host actually walked away from the campaign. So strategic. Let's find that clear Bari, because that guy
I gotta say that's Willie.
Ass, a hero, move right, my hope, never to peddle island. They let you waited. He became an axe kept talking over mister pillow, and then we had the reader statement. Mr pillow can't talk and, and
Indeed, the Eric Hartman thing you screw those guys.
I'm out of here any leaves there was a pro move.
This the old days when Mr Pillow, which is the guy on in the middle of the night with his creepy porn, stash hugging a pillow and you could just enjoy what it was and now he's this other guy, but by the way that has the same house came back.
Next day. I news MAC somebody got to him and said:
welcome all views, including those of Mr Pillow, and he will be back on this network soon, so their absorbing torn and a bunch of different directions.
Robinson, you know
I've been a journalist, all my life, and so I do not like frivolous.
Libel went estimation law suits, I think they bear at threat right. It's not free speech, but I think this is not that
big business in question to rose
Berger I mean to sort of on the scale of of
Promotion and marble litigation strikes me as being closed.
Or to assume tat could prevail. That could actually pay.
Actual now worse than ninety percent of such suitable I've ever seen, because there
There were two months worth of evidence of actual malice when court after court at the court found all the stuff untrue. Yet these people continue to say at it certainly showed recklessness regard bird
the true, but it does it's not really lead to go to act from ours. Is it Chuck, or even I think, you're right? It really is not a leap near the two hundred and seventy six page lawsuit,
the work my way through I'm doing that. But you are right that statements in this case about Smart Matic would just do. It is absolutely wrong. They were far. They were patently false and soap number one
blame the company for doing this, because it undermine their reputation and damage their business and number. Two to your points, I think you're exactly right. I think this is one of those rare cases that the defamed party, in this case
magic. The company can actually win, but, as you also pointed out, the half, the shell actual malice. If the court's decide that Smart Matic is more like a public figure, it becomes harder. If the court's decide that Smart Matic is more like a private, individual or private company, it becomes easier but you're, absolutely right, Eugene Miss it is the case they can win. Smart Matic did very little business in the United States in the twenty twenty election. I believed that they only worked in LOS Angeles County
of their business and most of their revenue for election security, work comes from abroad, and so the notion that Smart Matic, rigged the election or falsified results, or through the President Trump or worked in cahoots with the former president, the dead president, the Van as well
It's just insane, and so can they when this lawsuit? Yes, they can so check the nuts.
Two point seven billion dollars. We heard some other numbers when demeaning was talking about suing specific members. Some of the attorneys involved here a couple of weeks ago,
it sounds like an outlandish number, perhaps they're, just making a point by throwing that out there
If you were any of the defendants listed, would you be worse
this morning about process,
asian number one and having a cop up a bunch of money number to the yes votes to one
Yes, it is to do. I would absolutely be worried. Work as a guest
shell, which I am now I'm entitled to state my opinion. So if I wanted to say that x, wisely company Willie made awful vanilla ice cream, just the worst vanilla, ice cream and the entire planet, that's ok. I can say that that's my opinion and opinions are protected. I could also say that that was
true there were some waited determine Willie that that was actually true, but I couldn't safer and he said Ex wisely company that makes vanilla ice cream
is controlled by Hugo Chavez and that they manufacture it on Mars using aliens, that's recklessly false, that's a lie, and so
If I was on a show as a guest or as an anchor or host, and I was lying about smart magic and what they did in how they did it. I'd be worried now,
Jacques, thank you so much. We really appreciate your call an end grey,
we appreciated and really does make the worst ice cream operators will be out straight. Kids of combat illegal, I get a green in the rocks, it just doesn't work its role in the area of evils, AEGIS, don't have it
you really don't you get. It is lower
so anyway, Willie Yellow
obviously we're talking about facts, that's
you got a lotta definitions. Going there is for is a media outlets, so so
yeah we'll see how that goes, data
people, who really have a lot of reasons that we worry Rudy Giuliani here, sit me Powell,
MR pillow. These
people that are saying that Hugo Chavez founded this company in all of the bizarre theirs is wearing what I'm saying you see those two people are there, that's too
People are attorneys, they re not only took the boarding
does the law they had do understand, Willie that they couldn't defame caught me
They did it knowingly. We
Langley repeatedly Mr Pillow Ethos, pillar right. He sells pillar
so he's still in trouble, because Egypt
line about it, I'm sure mister pillow, as lawyers had told him, he was lying about it, but for the
individuals, especially these lawyers. Woe.
Rains gonna fall yeah. That's who I was really asking about with chalk. Are our people like Rudy Giuliani in Sydney POW who went out and tried to make the legal arguments again and again and again before microphones on tv and in courts even art
Is there exposure? I mean that's it. He says you know if your public company or public
are you not people can say whatever they want about you, but you can't make up. Lies that defame
hurt. The bottom line of the business was a too
seven billion dollars worth of business. I'm not so sure about that, but I think you just heard from Chuck internet to take it for me that people like Julie
in power should be very worried this morning, and why haven't they then this board? Why haven't they think?
bored. I seriously bill Clinton
We have to do all this bar for committing perjury in the deposition by the art.
The Supreme Court, the United States needs people have been,
going around spreading wise as lawyers five
baseless law suits in federal court and they haven't been.
What are you kidding me? I've been there very, very
their screwing with american democracy. They're lying
about american democracy they're lying in federal courts. Why
and they ve been disbarred. I need an answer to somebody means
a good answer on why these people have not been this bar and kind, and will we want
mention that the season,
or finale a veto. Swift, Chuck, Rosenberg elevate. Now, where you get
I guess I don't care. I can't believe the cliff now dead can be, as is clear, anger at the end in Uganda to teach a really do the candidates Ike
