00:00:00.000 Well, let's go to the story with Fox News.
00:00:01.600 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.
00:00:09.820 And I'm going to go read. Go for it.
00:00:11.660 This is short. Just say no. Just audio. This is from Air Force One.
00:00:14.660 Go ahead.
00:00:17.060 Yeah, they want to settle it.
00:00:20.620 He's treated us wrong.
00:00:21.720 I mean, you know, when I get treated unfairly, I do things about it.
00:00:26.440 So we'll see what happens.
00:00:28.040 OK, so it doesn't say much.
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.
00:01:22.180 So what's going to happen here, Tommy?
00:01:25.540 What's going to happen with this story?
00:01:27.420 By the way, are you a full-time employee?
00:01:29.260 Yeah, I sure am.
00:01:30.140 So there's not a whole lot I'm going to comment on on this one.
00:01:35.720 I'm going to have to leave it to you guys.
00:01:37.460 Okay, so what's going to happen here?
00:01:39.680 Tom, your thoughts 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.
00:02:10.500 It's a wrestling match. 0.87
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,
00:02:32.280 and if you want those to come out, go for it.
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
00:03:08.220 and everybody there for the deposition.
00:03:10.140 There will be a little circus outside.
00:03:12.060 What did you say in the deposition, sir?
00:03:13.400 What was going on there?
00:03:14.360 And that's what Trump wants, and Trump wants to get further into discovery.
00:03:19.660 He's like, I dare you.
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.
00:03:28.900 Well, I'm not going to drop my suit.
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.
00:03:57.260 Go ahead and play it.
00:03:57.780 This is the biograph of Michael Wolff.
00:03:59.800 Here's what he had to say.
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.
00:04:43.380 And that is quite possibly very true.
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,
00:05:28.940 essentially to demand the same thing.
00:05:32.040 Here is an overweight man who is almost 80 years old, who too might go at any moment.
00:05:39.560 Oh, stop it.
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.
00:05:54.960 Adam, thoughts?
00:05:56.700 So you know what might sink Trump?
00:06:00.900 Nothing.
00:06:02.420 Nothing.
00:06:03.300 In 2016, he says, you know, I could shoot someone in Fifth Avenue.
00:06:06.140 I wouldn't lose a vote.
00:06:07.260 I believe Trump.
00:06:08.920 Trump's going nowhere.
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.
00:06:23.940 I know your secrets.
00:06:24.840 Me too.
00:06:25.320 Love you.
00:06:25.780 Happy birthday.
00:06:26.720 What do we think happened?
00:06:28.140 Now, let's say he's guilty of writing that letter.
00:06:30.200 He did it.
00:06:30.840 We got him.
00:06:32.240 Now what?
00:06:33.420 You're guilty of writing a birthday letter to a creepy dude 20-something years ago?
00:06:38.560 I don't understand the outcome here.
00:06:40.240 Do they actually think this is going to bring down his presidency?
00:06:42.980 I'll say this one other thing.
00:06:44.760 Does anybody have more credibility these days in journalism than the Wall Street Journal?
00:06:49.200 I think they're doing great.
00:06:51.280 I think Wall Street Journal is a very credible news outlet.
00:06:54.700 I read them all the time.
00:06:55.580 We talk about them all the time.
00:06:57.160 So something's going to give.
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?
00:07:06.800 I don't understand the outcome here.
00:07:08.280 You tell me.
00:07:09.500 You know what it is, Adam?
00:07:10.820 This is, what was earlier in the week, what did we talk about with Scott Jennings?
00:07:15.720 The Democrats, just the left in general.
00:07:17.900 Wall Street Journal, all these people, they are just hooked.
00:07:20.940 They have nothing.
00:07:23.020 Like, they're grasping.
00:07:23.840 You said this is what they got.
00:07:25.060 Adam.
00:07:25.420 No, but this isn't the left.
00:07:26.640 This is Wall Street Journal.
00:07:27.580 Is it probably a center-right conservative?
00:07:28.860 No, Wall Street Journal?
00:07:29.900 Wall Street Journal is a...
00:07:31.460 Yeah, center-right.
00:07:32.400 I would say center-right.
00:07:33.480 Oh, for sure.
00:07:34.180 Certainly common sense.
00:07:35.320 It's absolutely center-right.
00:07:36.100 But the relationship with Rupert Murdoch is what?
00:07:38.640 Is what with Donald Trump.
00:07:39.700 So the question is, is Rupert Murdoch in his last breaths of life trying to basically take down Donald Trump?
00:07:45.000 I mean, is that the question?
00:07:45.920 I would even ask and say, how involved was Rupert Murdoch in them writing this article about the letter?
00:07:53.860 I think it's less than 1%.
00:07:56.140 Dude, what are you involved in when you're 94 years old, married to...
00:07:59.980 How old is this new girl? 0.83
00:08:01.580 She's in her 20s.
00:08:02.600 Do you know how much energy you need to conserve to at least make her happy?
00:08:05.640 She's not his age.
00:08:06.600 I can guarantee that.
00:08:07.220 How old...
00:08:08.420 No, I'm not trying to...
00:08:09.240 I'm actually being very serious.
00:08:11.080 I'm not...
00:08:11.640 How old is she? 0.98
00:08:12.500 I agree.
00:08:13.080 She's 67 years old.
00:08:14.080 She's a ripe young 67.
00:08:15.580 To him?
00:08:16.200 That's like...
00:08:16.840 By the way, that's 26...
00:08:17.860 That's a 26-year difference.
00:08:20.140 That's like you being...
00:08:20.780 That's like you being 44 dating a 18-year-old.
00:08:25.360 Okay?
00:08:25.600 Let's not...
00:08:26.340 That's not...
00:08:26.900 As if we don't know anybody like that.
00:08:28.400 21 plus.
00:08:28.500 Yeah.
00:08:29.660 But the moral...
00:08:31.500 I don't even think he knows what's going on with the story.
00:08:34.180 Zero.
00:08:34.600 Murdoch?
00:08:34.700 I don't think he's involved.
00:08:35.680 No.
00:08:36.220 I don't think he's involved.
00:08:37.520 I don't think there's a level...
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.
00:08:48.880 Right here.
00:08:49.760 Okay?
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.
00:09:00.980 It took us a few months to get them.
00:09:02.480 They're finally in.
00:09:03.080 I wore one of these.
00:09:04.040 Everybody was asking, where did you get these vitamin polo shirts?
00:09:06.780 They're right there.
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.
00:09:14.280 Yesterday, we flew them from Orlando.
00:09:15.620 We're on a flight, flying back on this private jet, and we're asking the pilot,
00:09:20.340 hey, can you turn on the AC?
00:09:21.980 I can't turn on the AC.
00:09:23.320 Mario makes the mistake of asking the guy.
00:09:25.620 He says, I heard this is a mock.
00:09:28.420 What did he ask him?
00:09:29.240 He says, I think...
00:09:29.860 Does it go mock?
00:09:30.620 And the guy was like, yeah, it goes mock 1.5.
00:09:32.440 It goes actually mock 1.1.
00:09:34.500 And then next thing you know, we get on the jet, and this guy goes,
00:09:36.600 he starts doing all this stuff, showing off.
00:09:38.380 I'm like, what is this guy doing?
00:09:39.700 On the way back, we're flying low.
00:09:41.120 He says, I can't turn on the AC.
00:09:42.580 I get off the plane.
00:09:44.440 Do you remember what I looked like?
00:09:45.420 Honestly, you look like somebody pouring water all over you.
00:09:47.620 I get off the plane.
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,
00:09:55.380 because she loves the humidity here.
00:09:56.900 But for some of you guys that are in the heat,
00:09:58.400 you want to wear a polo shirt and have the vitamin gear on,
00:10:02.600 go place your order at vtmerch.com.
00:10:05.720 We did not order too many of these.
00:10:07.420 But if you want to get them, go to vtmerch.com, place your order,
00:10:10.580 support them.
00:10:11.140 We were at Orlando at the Gaylord event.
00:10:13.040 Cannot wait to see all of you guys at the Vol Conference.
