Thanks for being here. Thanks, J.T. Good morning, everyone. Well, before we get started with some of the crazy stories and a legal look at these stories, I wanted to get your thoughts on everything happening right now. The convention seems to be more electric than I can remember in my lifetime with the Republicans in Milwaukee and my goshy assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Where were you Saturday when you heard the news? What were you doing? I was hanging out with my wife and kids and my mother-in-law who is a staunch Trump supporter, which is no small feat considering she lives on Park Avenue in New York City, which is, you know, it's not exactly Trump-friendly territory, but she's got her friends up there. She called us practically crying. I mean, she was crying. She was crying, but she called us saying, "Oh, my God, Trump's been shot. Trump's been shot." And we immediately turned on the TV and we saw the footage. I mean, it's horrible. It's hard. There are people out there. This is the most horrible thing right now, though. In New York, I mean, it's not the most horrible thing, but it's pretty terrible. In New York City right now, you have people everywhere saying, like, "He faked it. It didn't happen." And it's like we've gone down the rabbit hole. We're living in two separate realities. You can see it on video. There's a photo for God's sake of the bullet-wizzing buy. Yeah, yeah. And the rhetoric from the left, you know, everybody was screaming and Joe Biden came out of the gate sounding pretty good, actually. You know, there's no place for this in our country. I mean, let's do your JT. Nothing, he says, sounds good. He can barely... Relatively speaking. We have the Mad King from Game of Thrones running the country. He really is incoherent. Like, I don't understand. Like, the cognitive dissonance, the alternate reality, you must believe an assassination attempt wasn't made on Donald Trump. And that Joe Biden is coherent. It's like half the country has gone mentally ill. Right. My point was that he was calling for unity out of the gate, and he did say there's no place for this kind of thing in America. And then immediately following that within minutes and hours. Well, here comes that rhetoric again from across the board and MSNBC and others in the political arena. Well, you know, comments like, "Oh my gosh, they missed." And just stupid mean, hate-spirited commentary on that. So, yeah, Trump bounced back. No doubt. And he's a rock star. And with his fist pumping, I mean, hold on. Let me get my shoes. Seems to be the new, "Hold my beer," you know? And it was just so resilient of him to stand up there with blood on his face and just go on fight. Fight. We got to keep fighting. Even if I don't come back, you keep fighting. Keep fighting for what we're doing here. So, all right, let's talk about some of these crazy stories now. Why don't we start with the Florida jury, you know, finding the Chiquita brand libel for Columbia deaths. And they got to pay 38 million bucks to family members. What's going on here with the bananas? Well, listen. They call it banana republic for a reason, right? And the Chiquita brands, they were engaged in a bit of nastiness in Columbia. They were allegedly, you know, Columbia had a 50-year-long civil war, which Americans should keep in mind when people talk about civil war. There's lasted for 50 years. And, you know, Chiquita brands allegedly, and I guess proven a trial, funded a right-wing paramilitary death squad that killed 16 family members of the plaintiffs. So, I think, you know, look, if you don't want to get sued for something like that, maybe don't fund death squads and stick to selling bananas. Yeah. Yeah. I thought this might be a suit over Salmonella or something. Boy, they took it up a notch there, didn't they? All right. Let's talk about this cheating husband. This is just rich to me. This guy's cheating on his wife, and now he's going to sue Apple because it's their fault that his wife found out about it. Apparently, she discovered some deleted messages sent to sex workers, and it's not his fault. Apparently, it's Apple's fault as a lawyer. Your thoughts on this craziness. JT, I want to confess something. I'm going to be completely honest. I have not entirely read the Apple terms of service. I have not read it completely, but I'm going to go out on a limb here. Yeah. And I hope we don't get sued. I'm going to say they probably don't have anything in the terms of service that says we're going to keep your extra marital, Chris, a secret and be your active accomplice in there. So, buddy, maybe accept responsibility for the mistakes you made, pony up for some flowers and a diamond ring to that wife of yours, and try to get back into good graces instead of suing Apple. I would imagine the judge is going to kick this. I mean, anybody can sue, and obviously, once the suit's filed, they got to look at it, and then they make a decision. I don't think this is going very far. Do you? Take this. The judge should kick him right in the face. I mean, what is he thinking? You get caught cheating in your defenses to go and sue the maker of your iPhone? I don't even know if I'm giving a legal opinion at this point, but I guess I can't advise the judge to assault anyone, so please don't do that. Yeah, right. All right. Good to chat with you.
