Trump says Wall Street Journal wants to settle defamation lawsuit.
00:00:05.360
And Rob, I think you got this video somewhere, if I'm not mistaken.
00:00:11.660
This is short. Just say no. Just audio. This is from Air Force One.
00:00:21.720
I mean, you know, when I get treated unfairly, I do things about it.
00:00:31.060
And then on the other video clip, Rob, overwhelming good cause exists to expedite.
00:00:35.900
Trump wants to put Murdoch under oath right away after filing massive defamation suit against WSJ over Jeffrey Epstein's report.
00:00:43.960
The letter Trump lawyer Alejandro Brito filed a motion on Monday demanding that billionaire Rupert Murdoch, owner of Wall Street Journal,
00:00:52.260
sit for deposition within 15 days, citing Murdoch's age and health, stating the 94-year-old has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life,
00:01:01.380
is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares, and is presumed to live in New York.
00:01:06.520
The motion argues that there is good cause to expedite Murdoch's deposition,
00:01:09.840
and the court should exercise its discretion to authorize the same as Trump sues the journal over a report claiming it composed a body,
00:01:18.480
a 50-birthday card for sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
00:01:30.140
So there's not a whole lot I'm going to comment on on this one.
00:01:41.500
Well, they're trying to claim that with Rupert's – so what do you do when you sue somebody?
00:01:45.700
If you really believe that there's something there, you want to get to what's called discovery and deposition, D&D.
00:01:51.460
You want depositions so you can ask them questions.
00:01:54.780
You ask them questions, the way you answer those questions,
00:01:57.120
you can get judges to look at the deposition and to say,
00:02:00.760
well, the document they were talking about here where you kind of took the fifth and everything,
00:02:04.860
I'm going to call that admissible evidence, and I'm going to say that that is a permissible discovery.
00:02:12.220
And so what Trump's lawyer wants, we want a deposition with Rupert Murdoch as quickly as possible.
00:02:19.240
If you're Murdoch, you don't want that as quickly as possible because depositions lead to discovery and lead to documents.
00:02:25.200
So the other side for Trump, Rupert's guys are going to say, well, we got this birthday card and we got some other things here,
00:02:35.260
So it ends up being this chess game where someone says, oh, really, so you want to come depose us?
00:02:40.280
Well, we may put some other articles out there for public inspection when we go into court unless they decide to seal those things.
00:02:47.120
And what Trump is trying to do here is push hard through his lawyer, his lawyer in Florida, Alejandro Brito, I believe.
00:02:55.560
And he is the guy that's saying, hey, let's get the deposition right now because what they want,
00:03:02.100
they want the media covering Rupert walking up the steps to some office building where there will be a stenographer
00:03:14.360
And that's what Trump wants, and Trump wants to get further into discovery.
00:03:21.340
And so this is Trump's part of pushing for a settlement.
00:03:25.820
And then Rupert comes back and says, listen, we're going to want to do this.
00:03:30.520
And usually where it goes is you have to settle or silence where everybody agrees for it to go away or there's a settlement.
00:03:38.900
And this is what Trump did for 60 minutes, and he kept banging that drum,
00:03:42.300
and he kept pushing hard, and ultimately CBS blinked.
00:03:47.160
Now, never mind all the people that said that that was really a bribe so that they would approve the Skydance deal, right?
00:03:54.500
Here's what Michael Wolff says about the strategy.
00:04:00.640
But the Trump people, but Trump and his people, his lawyers are, you know, you have to give them a certain, give them their due here.
00:04:15.600
They're quite an incredible opponent and a clever opponent.
00:04:23.400
And their approach now is that they have asked the court to expedite the deposition of Rupert Murdoch on the basis that he is 94 years old
00:04:37.520
and that he might die at any minute and that he might die at any minute and they won't get a chance to depose him.
00:04:48.420
And at the same time, they recognize that no one, certainly in the Murdoch organization,
00:04:55.520
is going to want to put a 94-year-old under oath.
00:05:02.480
And the White House now regards that as a leverage toward a settlement.
00:05:10.780
But there is another aspect of this that is hopeful, maybe,
00:05:18.660
which is to say that the Murdoch people are now in a position to ask the same thing of Donald Trump,
00:05:32.040
Here is an overweight man who is almost 80 years old, who too might go at any moment.
00:05:40.280
So can the Murdoch people force Donald Trump into a deposition?
00:05:46.460
Let's realize the deposition might well be the key to understand.
00:06:03.300
In 2016, he says, you know, I could shoot someone in Fifth Avenue.
00:06:09.820
This is just another nonsensical story that they're dragging from the dirt in 2003,
00:06:15.380
that he scribbled some, what, crude image of a lady
00:06:19.880
and some alleged fake conversation with him and Jeffrey Epps.
00:06:28.140
Now, let's say he's guilty of writing that letter.
00:06:33.420
You're guilty of writing a birthday letter to a creepy dude 20-something years ago?
00:06:40.240
Do they actually think this is going to bring down his presidency?
00:06:44.760
Does anybody have more credibility these days in journalism than the Wall Street Journal?
00:06:51.280
I think Wall Street Journal is a very credible news outlet.
00:06:58.680
Either they're completely fumbled the bag here and they're lying,
00:07:01.280
or Trump is what, guilty of writing a cartoon to a weirdo?
00:07:10.820
This is, what was earlier in the week, what did we talk about with Scott Jennings?
00:07:17.900
Wall Street Journal, all these people, they are just hooked.
00:07:36.100
But the relationship with Rupert Murdoch is what?
00:07:39.700
So the question is, is Rupert Murdoch in his last breaths of life trying to basically take down Donald Trump?
00:07:45.920
I would even ask and say, how involved was Rupert Murdoch in them writing this article about the letter?
00:07:56.140
Dude, what are you involved in when you're 94 years old, married to...
00:08:02.600
Do you know how much energy you need to conserve to at least make her happy?
00:08:31.500
I don't even think he knows what's going on with the story.
00:08:39.140
This is seven generations away from him of being involved like layers.
00:08:44.320
Chairman, CEO, CMO, division, da-da-da, pa-pa-pa.
00:08:49.920
And maybe the C-suite executives know about it.
00:08:51.800
I don't know if Murdoch knew about this, but I understand what Trump's all about.
00:08:54.960
You go after him, he's got to come for your throat, and that's what he's doing.
00:08:57.780
You were asking about the latest polo shirts that are coming up.
00:09:04.040
Everybody was asking, where did you get these vitamin polo shirts?
00:09:07.400
We got them in brown, black, white, gray, and another white.
00:09:11.580
There's a bunch of them on here for those, because it's hot.
00:09:15.620
We're on a flight, flying back on this private jet, and we're asking the pilot,
00:09:34.500
And then next thing you know, we get on the jet, and this guy goes,
00:09:45.420
Honestly, you look like somebody pouring water all over you.
00:09:48.640
My entire shirt is flipping, you know, drenched.
00:09:53.260
And this is why Tommy just announced she's moving to Florida,
00:09:58.400
you want to wear a polo shirt and have the vitamin gear on,
00:10:07.420
But if you want to get them, go to vtmerch.com, place your order,
00:10:13.040
