Transcripts For FBC The 20240704

Now. Elizabeth thank you so much for joining us. Joining us now, former speaker of the house and New York Times best selling author of the great new book march to the majority the real story of of the republican revolution, newt gingrich. Lets get your reaction to Governor Katie Hobbs saying arizona should deliver a possible fifth indictment against former President Trump in what do you think . Well, i mean, she can say it all she wants to, the fact is all these indictments are about politics, not a single one of them is about the law. And i think the public understands that. The last i saw yesterday trump is now at 60 support for the nomination. He will probably become the republican nominee on the 6th of march after the california primary. And all the democrats are doing right now particularly with the9 biden problems is theyre proving what total hypocrites they are, that this is not about the law. This is about politics, this is a form of warfare against the person most likely to win the presidency. Weve never seen anything like it in american history, and i think its not just at the level of trump. You have a democrat attorney general in michigan who has indicted an 81yearold woman for agreeing to serve as an elector. I mean, think about how sick that is. So this whole thing, i think, is the greatest constitutional crisis since the civil war. Elizabeth thats some serious stuff. Sir, lets listen to governor hobbs here. Watch this. [inaudible conversations] absolutely. I have been an advocate for holding folks involved in trying to overturn the [inaudible] accountable [inaudible] elizabeth okay. But now her office is putting out a statement taking that back, claiming she misheard the question. But the point is arizonas attorney general, chris mays, is reportedly still investigating trump. So in your point of view, will voters see through this, that a lot of this is just politics . Yes. Elizabeth its careerism . Its not careerism, its a vicious partisan war by the left to try to destroy the person who is the greatest threat to their corrupt system. Just take georgia. Stacey abrams was the democratic nominee for governor, she said 30 times that brian kemp didnt win. Do you see the District Attorney of Fulton County indicted her . Yet she clearly disavowed the result of the election. Case after case, the al gore electors in florida who were alternate electors, they did exactly what people are being indicted for around the country by the democrats today. None of them were indicted because people back then had common sense. What youre watching is an act, frankly,ing of political warfare. It has nothing to do with the law as weve known it, and anybody who attempts to intercept these things as though they involve the law misunderstands the point. One of trumps indictments is over the 1870 ku klux klan act in south carolina. Now, does anyone seriously believe that the congress in 1870 by the way, only republicans voted to abolish the ku klux klan. Every democrat who voted, voted against the u. S. Government stopping the ku klux klan because back then the democrats were the party of slavery, segregation and representation. Repression, and you look at that and you say to yourself, you know, jack smith is crazy. Which he is, by the way. He was rebuked 80 by the Supreme Court when he went after government robert mcdonald, basically for having lied about the nature of the law. So what were seeing in d. C. , in miami, in new york, in Fulton County and maybe certainly with the attorney general in michigan, were seeing a concert leftwing effort to use the law as a weapon with of destruction and to do things that are clearly political and not legal. Elizabeth you know, the Fulton County d. A. , fani willis, shes asking for a march 4th trial date for the fourth indictment. Thats the day before super tuesday, eight days before georgias primary. She launched a Campaign Fund raising web site just days before the fourth indictment. So when you stack this all together and were going into the 2024 campaign season, how does this play out with voters . I mean, were still seeiing you know, the trump indictments square pretty much in line with any bombshells coming out about the biden family corruption probe. Lets show that timeline. So how does this play out . Well, i think, first of all, republicans have to understand that theyre in a political war that is extraordinary and unlike anything weve seen since the civil war. The Georgia Legislature should have a special session and, frankly, disbar her. And she has violated so many rules and is acting so inappropriately, she shouldnt be the District Attorney. The u. S. Congress, frankly, ought to cut off the money for jack smith and just make it impossible for him to function after september 30th. They should also, in my judgment, they should go ahead now and get the financial records of the Clinton Foundation which will show far greater corruption than joe biden. And i noticed today that chairman comer has discovered in one of those really weird breaks you couldnt write in a novel that a staff person had written to set up a call to a secret phone on behalf of the Vice President then and the president of ukraine. It happened to come out as a pure accident, and now we know that apparently joe biden had a secret phone which was probably paid for by Hunter Bidens company, and we dont yet know what all the calls were made to it, but that phone now that we know it exists when we get the number, at t has all those records, and they should be subpoenaed. Were going to be shocked to find out but remember, what you have at the National Level is obama corrupting the Justice Department and the intelligence service, hillary realizing shell never be tried for anything so she engages in massive, millions of dollars for Public Policy, and joe biden looking at all that going, wow, you can get away with it, why not . So he uses his son hunter as a bagman to go around the world collecting money. This is the most corrupt system in american history, and i dont believe its going to survive, because i think the American People the more they learn, the more offended theyre going to be. Elizabeth speaker gingrich, come back soon. Love having you on the show. Thank you. Elizabeth thank you so much. Now lets bring in former doj official Francey Hakes and former utah congressman jason chaffetz. You just heard with newt gingrich, first to you, francey. So joe biden had a secret burner phone. Also House Oversight chair comer now says joe biden was using false aliases, fake email names in his dealings about ukraine during the Obama White House while his son was making money in ukraine. What do you think, francey . Well, you know, liz, i think its utterly outrageous that the fbi had Hunter Bidens laptop in 2019 and the opportunity to start an investigation based on the probable cause contained inside that laptop. Hes got probable cause all day long for a myriad of corrupt offenses including money laundering, pay to play, influencing Public Officials and Public Policy for money. Youve got evidence inside that laptop that was in the possession if of the fbi four years ago. Why are we just now hearing about it in the fact that you have a special counsel now appointed and the fact that you had david weiss looking into hunter biden for all these years and all they managed to say that they find are a couple of misdemeanor tax charges and some gun offense in are you kidding me . This is outrageous. Everyone in the country should be frightened of the omissions here by the department of justice and the fbi in addition to the commissions that appear to be going on with the nowspecial counsels office. Elizabeth given what francey just detail ask outlined, jason, james comers also demanding the National Archives turn over all the emails joe biden had about ukraine, burisma and with hunter biden. Have you ever heard any Vice President use fake email names . I mean, bidens pseudonyms were robin ware, robert l. Peters, have you ever heard a Vice President doing this . Well, first of all, franceys exactly right, and they should provide these documents. And its an absolute dereliction of duty for the department of justice to not pursue to the fullest account what the obvious evidence was that was sitting in front of them. I have never heard of an elected official certainly at that level using those fake names other than to deceive people. To do that for official business or to enrich his own family which is, you know, one of the allegations that the committees looking at, is highly suspicious. To try to do it off the books, unofficial channels, the committee should absolutely go after that phone and all the telephone numbers. There is evidence within the laptop that Rosemont Seneca had purchased a phone that joe biden was using to conduct business on. Thats the allegation, and the committee should provide those documents both from the National Archives as well as, as well as the white house. Elizabeth so is jason weighed in there, francey, james comer is saying in may to 2016 biden forwarded to his own fake email account, his robert l. Peters account, information about his upcoming white house meeting with thenukrainian president poroshenko. Comer wants to know why he ccd hunter biden on that email. Hunter bidens Text Messages claiming he paid joe bidens expenses and bills for the past 11 years, all of this comes as senator Chuck Grassley released that unverified fbi informant document about alleging that hunter and joe biden accepted bribes in ukraine. So now weve got burner phones and fake emails. How does this all stack together, francey . Well, i mean, its blindingly obvious for anyone that the it shows youve got something corrupt and criminal, and lets use the word that fani willis are here in atlanta used, an enterprise going on to enrich the biden family at the expense of we, the American People. And it seems to me, liz, that joe biden learned this at the knee of Hillary Clinton who did something very similar when she used a private email server in what looks to be a scheme to defeat the public from knowing what as secretary of state she was talking to people about. Routinely. I guarantee it wasnt yoga routines, it was Clinton Foundation business. So biden has taken her example using burner phones and fake emails which is absolutely a a glaring red caution sign for criminal behavior. I dont have a burner phone, ive never had a burner phone, i dont use fake email addresses, i only have one llc, and its Francey Hakes consulting so everyone can know about it. Any idiot inside the government understands that this is a scheme to enrich the bidens. And the fact that the fbi is just whistling past the graveyard is just shocking. Elizabeth so, jason, House Republicans are trying to build an impeachment inquiry possibly after labor day, and theyre talking about a case that will hold up in court. Doesnt sound like just an inquiry. Final word. They should pursue that, they should vote on it, the full house should pursue the impeachment inquiry. Thats not impeachment, but gives them the investigative tools so that they can withstand the, you know, going before a judge. Thats important. Elizabeth fran city headaches, jason chaffetz, thanks for joining us. Its good to have you back on. Still ahead, we have a judge really editorializing in an odd way in court accusing elon musk of withholding data from special counsel jack smith to, quote, cozy up to former President Trump. And weve got attorneys for the tuohy family, randy fishman, we also have former facebook analyst Kara Frederick, a virginia mom and maui resident, also forbes media chair steve forbes coming up. Americans not liking bidenomics, but senator Chuck Schumer, hes claiming americans wont even remember their own economic pain a year from now. Really . Were all going to get amnesia . Thats coming up. What do we always say, son . Liberty mutual customizes your car insurance. So you only pay for what you need. Thats my boy. Stay off the freeways only pay for what you need. Liberty.

Comcast business, powering possibilities. Inflation was caused, in my opinion, by energy. Because its so big, energy is so big, its like allencompassing, everything. We would have made a fortune. And it was so sad to see what they did, they cut it off. And, again, we were drilling much more. We were a bigger force than russia and saudi arabia individually. Elizabeth well, hook whos here, my former boss, forbes media chair editorinchief, steve forbes. Good to see you again, steve. Good to see you. Elizabeth do you agree with former President Trump . Oh, hes absolutely right. This administrations waging war against fossil fuels for ride lodge ideological reasons. The idea that wind and solar is going to replace oil and gas is preposterous. Theyre trying to get rid of the automobile, that is preposterous, it would throw the world into a depression. So theyre making us more energy dependent on very unnice people like vladimir putin, our friends in saudi arabia and elsewhere, venezuela. If so i think the American People are going to react to it. Weve got the energy here, we can do it cheaply, more cleaner than anyone else in the world, and this administrations thrown it away. Elizabeth and making us dependent on china for green energy. You know, steve, this Mortgage Bank bankers association, a third of americans are borrowing town their home equity to pay for other debt. I want you to listen to to senator Chuck Schumer. Hes saying, well, you know, a year from if now americans wont remember this economic pain. Somehow theyre going to get amnesia. Watch a cnn fact check and listen to walmart officials talking to wall street on how consumers are pulling back because of inflation under biden. Watch this. As a global retailer, we see how our customers and members are affected by whats happening at a macro level and how that influences their behaviors. Resuming student loan payments, higher borrowing costs and tightening lending standards and a drawdown in excess savings mean that Household Budgets are still under pressure. When you put all this together, we see families that are discerning about what theyre spending on. Theyre setting priorities and spending on the things they care most about. By a year from now, people will know the economy is strong. You know, joe, you mentioned the economy is strong, but its often a hagging indicator. People still remember 68 months ago, but by next summer they wont. Sometimes President Biden just cannot stop himself. During a speech today about the economy, he told at least two lies that have already been debunked. Elizabeth so thats the game plan for democrats . Senator Chuck Schumer says, you know what . Wait it out, americans hurting in this economy now in. Happy days are here again, not. I think what theyre counting on the massive spending in those bills, especially the socalled inflation reduction act. Talk about lies. And they think that that massive spending is going to gin up the economy, give good growth figures. The way they compute gdp is rather peculiar. They count Government Spending as a miss for the economy even though the government as a plus for the economy even though the government gets the money by withdrawing it from people or creating it out of thin air which is a tax on people and higher prices. They think the way gdp is concocted will make the economy look better than it is, but every time people have to do a budget around the kitchen table, theyll see things are not good, and theyll say no matter what the government is saying, were having a hard time, and we dont see a better future. Elizabeth you know whats really interesting, a new nprmaris poll, trump is beating joe biden among independents by 8 percentage points, but youve got biden on the campaign trail using his curious and odd signature whispering voice, hes claiming inflation is going lower. Has he been to the gas pump . Has he borrowed to buy a house as mortgages are headed Mortgage Rates going above 8 . Has he borrowed on his credit card in those rates are going above 20 . This is the highest e rates weve seen in years to deal with inflation. What do you think of to biden on the campaign trail here . The. [laughter] when the family gets 2030 million from suspect parties overseas, perhaps he doesnt know whats happening with the rest of the world and especially here in the united states. And again, things are the headwinds are there, and they can try to deny them, they can hope Government Spending will disguise what theyre doing, but the american economys in trouble. Were going for an era are rah of low growth rates like europe has had. Thats bad for us and bad for the security of the world. Elizabeth yeah. Flatlining in gdp growth at 2. 4. Steve forbes, thank you so much. Well have you back on soon. Thank you. Elizabeth coming up, the new developments in the blind side case. Weve got the lawyer for the tuohy family coming up. Also he says former nfl star michael oher got 100,000 in profits from that movie like every other member of the family. Also this, Governor Glenn Youngkin is taking it and is taking it hard to virginias Biggest School district. Hes slamming them for claiming they know better than parents. That fights coming up next on the evening edit. [inaudible conversations] [background sounds] we see the people. My dad started trek in a red barn in waterloo, wisconsin. And now it spans the globe.

Elizabeth okay, the school board fights are heating up again in virginia. Lets bring in the director of the independent womens Forum Education Freedom Center ginny gentles, a virginia mop of two mom of two. Explain to viewers whats going won Governor Glenn Youngkin and his fight with Fairfax County public schools. Whats happening . Back in 2020 a law was passed that said policies should be written by the Virginia Department of education that would deal with transgenderidentifying students. So those policies were drafted in 2021. Governor youngkin came in and drafted revise policies. Those have been put into place as of july to 2023. The law says that districts shall implement these policies or policies that are more comprehensive. Unfortunately, a number of districts in virginia are refusing to do that. Elizabeth so fairfax so basically the policies say students must use School Facilities and bathrooms matching their biological sex, and children must get their parents permission if before changing their pronouns at school. This is where its at. Theyre citing the 4th amendment, that the 14th amendment gives parents the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and educations of their children. But its fairfax and is your School District, arlington, pushing back on the governor . Yes. I live in arlington county, virginia, another Northern Virginia School District that absolutely refuses to implement these policies, and its not just the 14th amendment that gives parents the right to raise their children. The virginia code can specifically says that children have the right to direct the education, upbringing and health care of their children. This is state law, and these policies reflect the state law and common sense. Of course parents should be responsible for the upbringing of their children, and of course schools should not keep secrets from parents. Schools should partner with parents. They are not parents themselves, theyre not the guardians of the students. And when there are Mental Health issues and other healthrelated issues, a parent should be kept involved, not kept in the dark. Elizabeth lets take a listen to peyton mcnabb, a volleyball athlete injured by a transgender athlete, seriously injured during a volleyball game, and lets listen to football star tim tebow. Theres this new fight in north carolina. Its state Legislature Just overrode democrat governor roy coopers veto of a bill that will stop biological a males in womens sports. Take a listen to this. I was severely injured by a biological male on the opposing team. I suffer from longlasting effects including impaired vision, partial paralysis of my right side, memory loss and much more. Im slowly recovering, but im still in the recovery process. I am incredibly happy and filled with joy, i am so thankful for the, for everyone that stood up for whats wrong and helped to get this overridden. I just believe in fairness, and i love being able to watch, you know, whether it was the soccer team, the softball team, the lacrosse team, the gym natics team gymnastic team, the competition. So many of those girls work is hard to be able to compete and be their best, and i love giving them a chance to compete in a fair way so that they can strive to be their best like all of us. Elizabeth what do you think, ginny . I think that weve asked way too much of Young Athletes like peyton. This is a young woman whos had to speak up because of this horrific injury that shes encountered, and we know that other young women like riley gaines have been speaking up as well. Everyone should be speaking up. We should not put it on their shoulders to say that biological men should not be in womens spaces, in womens sports, in womens bathrooms, in womens prisons. Adults, older women, people of both sexes need to be standing up and saying that there are physical differences between men and women, and we need to make it clear that policies need to be put in place to reflect that. Elizabeth well, its also children getting injured, right . I mean, thats just wrong. Right. So were putting these young girls, these young women in unsafe positions and then asking them to speak up for themselves when theyve been injured. That has to stop. Theres so much danger to whats going on right now, is so these policies in virginia do address the athletics. But what i think is really important that we need to recognize is that theres a cascade effect that happens when students transition when they have pronouns and names changed and that those are kept secret or endorsed by a school. Elizabeth got it, okay. Theres a consequence. Elizabeth weve got this story coming up, a judge accuses elon musk of withholding data, holding back day from special counsel jack smith, editorializing from the bench that musk did it because he wanted to, quote, cozy up to former President Trump. Also our next guest lost his family home in the wildfires in maui, hawaii. That story coming up. And weve got new analysis coming in undercutting the white house claim that the wildfires are about climate change. These stories and more. My relationship with my credit cards wasnt good.

Constant contact. Helping the small stand tall. Elizabeth okay, lets get you update on President Biden finally saying he will visit hawaii next week. Critics say thats two weeks after the Deadly Wildfires broke out and after a major backlash for initially sounding noncommittal, dismissive about going. The death toll has risen to at least 1 11. Mark meredith at the white house with the story. Reporter liz, good evening to you. The white house says President Biden has been in Constant Contact with hawaiis governor and top officials as they try to come to terms with this horrific wildfire in maui. The president and first lady are going to go to hawaii on monday, but the white house has been facing criticism about how its handled the disaster at least early on. Investors say so far the death toll has climbed to more than 100 people, and its possible it could rise even higher. Hawaiis governor has praised the president s response, but some critics were less than kind after President Biden remained on vacation at the delaware beaches as the fires were growing larger, and when reporters tried to ask him a question, he said no comment. The white house though says this should not be political. The gop is being blamed, the spokesperson for the white house telling fox, quote we wont be lectured by republican officials in washington who are doubling down on denial of the Climate Crisis that is devastating red and blue states, who attempted to slash the Wildfire Response budget and defended the Trump Administration while cutting off funding for puerto rico for hurricane relief. No word yet if the former president plan toss go to hawaii himself. The white house says theyre waiting until monday to go because they dont want to take away from any of the resources on the ground in hawaii but, of course, therell be a lot of focus on what the president has to say when he makes the trip early next week. Elizabeth mark meredith, thank you so much. Lets welcome a maui resident. Thank you so much for joining us. You and your family lost a family home in the Deadly Wildfires. Were so sorry. What happened . Can you tell us more . What do you make of the governments response so far . Like i said before, the government is definitely slacking, you know . Theyre not being transparent i. Theyre not keeping out updated with what to do next or just even comfort, you know . The community is pretty much coming together to really take on everybody thats been displaced, you know . Housing them, feeding them. And the government is just, theyre panicking, you know in and were the ones thats mourning and suffering over here, but we, we are the ones thats trying to keep it together because we still are in survival mode. Thats what we feel, were in survival mode still. Elizabeth its just outrageous. Your family home was in your family for a hundred years, and now its gone. Lets listen to President Biden when he was asked again, again, about going to see the devastation and people needing help in hawaii. Watch this. Can you tell us about your hawaii trip, sir . No, not now. Im going to be leaving, ill be there on monday. Elizabeth you know, the question is why cant he just make a statement of support for the people of hawaii, you know . When you go too, it also focuses reporters and Media Attention on what you, your family and others are experience, suffering through there. You know, liz, right now we need hope, you know . And everybody around the world, our community, we have been providing that hope for us, you know . And our leadership just hasnt. Theyve been dropping the ball, as always, you know . President biden, im not surprised that he made no comment. If he makeses it to maui, im not tattoo sure what kind of impact that will be. Probably none at all. I dont think he can even say the word la high a that. If he does come to help out, he better bring his boots and his gloves, and lets get to work. Elizabeth you need help. Hawaii needs help. We need help. Elizabeth theyre blaming climate change. The storys about mismanagement. A downed power line could have ignited the fires. The wall street journal reporting Hawaiian Electric neglected to stick to risk assessments about its power lines over vast areas of unmanaged land with dense concentration of nonnative grasses. That turned into a tinderbox. This is not just hawaiis story, its also the story of other states as well. Is so whether you guys are suffering through this, maybe thered be some good out of it. We hate to talk like that, look for silver linings, but its a wakeup call to the rest of america, aidan. Yes. And, you know, when it comes down to climate change, honestly thats way off subject right now. It was mismanagement, it was people that are put into certain positions, they were slacking, you know . They dropped the ball. They werent on, you know . They just got lazy, come complacent, and we need restructure in our town, in our government, in our police force, you know . Its too much hierarchy. Everybody is theyre taking away the common sense of people where, hey, theres a big fire coming. Sound your alarm. Knock on doors. Oh, i gotta make a call to the chief of police first to see if i can actually do that. Thats not good. Elizabeth thats not good at all. So Emergency Alert sirens not good. Elizabeth never sounded. 911 Emergency Services went offline, and there wasnt enough water. And people are putting out, you know, fires that are still ongoing with bottled water. Yes. Yes. Ive been seeing that throughout the island. Elizabeth so final message to everybody. Final message, lahaina, we are lahaina strong. We are going to stick together. Keep playing praying for us us, world, keep watching this. We appreciate all the donations and prayers. Weve just got to stick together, handle our ohana first, yeah, so if we can take care of our ohana first, we can take care of others. So weve got to watch out for each other as well. Prayers to the lost souls. We all love you guys. We all know your first and last name because we grew up together. Lets keep lahaina lahaina, and thank you for having me, liz. Elizabeth thank you so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone impacted by these devastating wildfires. Well today on the story. Okay, weve got the lawyer for the tuohy family, new developments in the blind side case. Plus the lawyer says michael to her got 1000,000 just like every other member of the adoptive family. This fight is heating up. Plus, weve got tech expert Kara Frederick on a judge accusing elon musk of withholding data about President Trump, withholding it from special counsel jack smith. Why . The judge editorializing from the bench that its because musk wanted to, quote, cozy up to former President Trump. But first, weve got to check in with our buddies dagen and sean, see whats coming up on the bottom line. Sean we have ken cucinelli, hes going to talk about the standoff in virginias School Systems against parents. Douglas murray talking about prince charming being canceled. What . Dagen speaking of prince charges, john rich talking about the anthem that Oliver Anthony sings thats connected with working men and women and john richs own new music that hes got coming out. I dont know about charming, but hes a hell of a funny guy, jimmy failla are, top of the hour. Sean razzledazzle. What if you could make analyzing a big banks data. No big deal . Go on. Well, what if you partner with ibm and red hat, use a hybrid Cloud Solution to connect data across clouds, then analyze all that data with watson. Okay, but this needs to meet our. Security standards . Yup. Compliance standards . Mmhmm. So they get the insights they need. Yup. In real time. Check. To make quick decisions . Check. Aaaand check. Thats the solution ibm and a global bank created. What will you create . Ibm. Lets create. My husband and i have never been more active. Shingles doesnt care. I go to spin classes with my coworkers. Good for you, shingles doesnt care. Because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50. But shingrix protects. Proven over 90 effective, shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older.

Elizabeth look whos back with us, Kara Frederick, direct or of tech policy at the heritage foundation. Its good to have you on. Okay, so this judge, judge howell, accused e loon musk of elon musk of withholding data for special counsel jack smith claiming its because musk wants to, quote, cozy up to former President Trump . I mean, this is about giving over trumps location data via twitter. Its about turning over his deleted tweets, tweets that he even just liked. This seems like a privacy invasion. And for the judge to editorialize like this from the bench seems pretty odd. Definitely. And, you know, this is just a very small act of resistance on the shortest list possible post2020 of resistance by Big Tech Companies to government efforts to police the speech of americans and to request information and documentation. Mine, you look at the fbi i mean, you look at the fbi, they were regularly flagging posts of Everyday Americans for these Big Tech Companies, and they complied by taking them down. You look at the white house and facebook admittedly former press secretary jen psaki, july 2021, saying we are working with facebook, were flagging posts for facebook to take down specific accounts. We know that at least 12 of those accounts within a month were actually taken down by facebook. So the list is very, very short of resistance to these types of requests by the government of social Media Companies that are very happy to comply. So i commend twitter, now x, just for the, that initial crumb of resistance that, ultimately, they had to overcome anyway. Its a good thing elizabeth this judge fined twitter 350,000 for saying, wait a second, theres a privacy issue here. Twitters a private company. And the judge is basically saying, well, you know, maybe twitters trying to make up for the fact that twitter kicked off donald trump from twitter. And at another point he said do you want to make donald trump feel like hes a particularly welcomed, renewed user of twitter here . This sounds like a pretty biased judge. Oh, completely. As you say, shes editorializing. Its not necessary. And, in fact, you know, twitter at this point is the one outlier in an ideological monopoly that is comprised of these Big Tech Companies. Elon musk, frankly, at great personal risk and detriment to his own bottom line, said i want to preserve free speech. Its critical. This is the bedrock of our democracy, and we need to find a way to prop a gate it. He has that First Amendment brand to protect, so he had to lean into it at least initially. And the judge, frankly, is wrong on this issue or was wrong back in february on this issue. Elizabeth got it. Kara rah, thanks for joining us. Well have you back on again soon.

But my old internet, was not letting me run the show. So, we switched to Verizon Business internet. They have business grade internet, nationwide. vo make the switch. Its your business. Its your verizon. Liz lets welcome randy fishman, hes the attorney for the tuohy family. Thank you for joining us tonight. Its good to see you. Okay, so this story, the tuohys, your clients, they took in former nfl star michael oher. That inspired the oscar nominated film the blind side, but now they plan to end their conservatorship after oher accuses them of duping him out of millions of dollars. Can you break down whats going on . Certainly. I guess youve got to go back to 2004 in december, there was a conservatorship put in place here in memphis. You had to keep in mind that he was 18 years old, a senior in high school. At the hearing by the way, which he was obviously a party to and testified that thats what he wanted to do, he was an adult under the law. His mother was present at the hearing, and the Court Appointed the tuohys heads of conservators of the person. There was no financial estate from which to account and otherwise manage and simply one goal in mind and that was to get him into the university of mississippi, if he chose to go there. At the time i believe he was down to three schools tennessee, lsu, and ole miss. Because he lived with the tuohys at the time, ncaa rules would have found him ineligible signing with ole miss and the only way around that was to make him perhaps part of the family. They were able to get that done and they sought Legal Counsel here in memphis and chose a conservatorship and got that done and that was able to pass motion with the ncaa and all american and the rest is history. Liz Michael Lewis writes the book the blind side, becomes a multimillion hundreds of millions from that movie. How much money did the tuohys make from the movie and the book . I dont know if youre familiar with accounting in the movie business, i certainly am not. From what i understand theres tremendous fees, nobody in the position of the tuohys or michael makes money for the first five, six, seven years, but bottom line is this, each of them, and i dont want to get webbed to a number. Weve been using 100,000, approximately and again, i dont have the numbers on the tip of my tongue. This case is 72 hours old and i hadnt seen those numbers yet. Each of them got the same thing, five slices of the pie. Two tuohys, the two children, and michael. They all got the exact same. Liz they only made half a million total, allative of the tuohys, including the tuohy couple . Yes, maam, thats correct. Liz thats it. Michael lewis has put out a same statement saying there wasnt money to be made and michael oher should join the hollywood writer strike because hollywood made the money and profited. Is that the story . You know, again, im not familiar with hollywood accounting. I dont know how they account in the movie business. I can only tell you there was not a great deal of money made, and that michael got as i said yesterday, every dime he had coming. He got one fifth of the pie, and thats what he got, thats what he was entitled to and thats what he got. Liz did oher try to demand 15 million out of the tuohys; is that true . I believe that to be accurate, and i think well be able to prove that in court. Liz okay. Now why didnt the tuohys just formally adopt oher . Well, again, remember what the goal was. The goal was to do something in order to pass muster at the university of mississippi so the ncaa would not declare him ineligible if he chose to go there. So it really made no difference what he was whether he was adopted, under conservatorship or anything else. If you stop and think about it for just a moment, the tuohys fed him, they clothed him, they treated him like a son. They bought him an automobile. Theres more to going to college than there is when you get a college script, theres more scholarship theres more support and emotional and financial and the tuohys provided and that they love him. Theyve always loved him. I think sean tuohy said that he loves him today at age 37 like he did when he was age 16. So thats the response, thats answer. Liz thats the story thats captivated the nation. The blind side was such a terrific movie, a heart warming movie, and its, you know, its just curious to see how this is all developing. Randy fishman, thank you so much for joining us the only thing. Well stay on the story. Its good to see you. My pleasure. Nice to see you.
