WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:14.400 Joe Escalante from Coachella Music and Arts Festival. Here in Coachella, Yeah, 2 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.559 we've you been. Well, we aren't live here. It's Sunday night, 3 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.000 and I've seen a lot of bands and talk to a lot of people, 4 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.280 and it's great festival. It gets bigger and bigger all the time. It 5 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.800 might not be your cup of tea. The most reaction I get from people 6 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.079 when I tell them I'm at Coachella. They always tell me they would never 7 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:38.560 go to Coachella. But this year, two hundred and fifty thousand people paid 8 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.719 six hundred dollars or more to be out here and see all the music. 9 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.920 So what do they know that that you don't know? I don't know. 10 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.119 I think you know yourself. Some people that just can't handle it. And 11 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.159 if you have a certain comfort level and you're a certain age, depends on 12 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.079 a lot of things. I'm sixty years old, but I have some comforts 13 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.679 built in. I sit in a private trailer all day and watch things on 14 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.920 a screen until I go out and decide I want to watch something live. 15 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.000 I've got a place out here in the desert. My wife and I sit 16 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.640 in the pool until the very last minute, and then we go out there, 17 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.519 and the drink tickets and the food tickets. When you add it all 18 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.079 up, it's cheaper actually for me to go to Coachella than to stay home. 19 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.599 No one's given me food tickets and drink tickets and meal tickets at home. 20 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:34.359 Okay, So Coachella, Black Pink, I saw the Linda Linda's Rosalia 21 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:42.040 Blondie bad Bunny Gorillas Franka Ocean did not see because I'm here in the second 22 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.200 week of Coachella, where he was booted, it turns out he seems to 23 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.760 be a toxic narcissist. I don't even want to talk about what I've you 24 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.000 know, that stuff I've heard, You've read it in the in the papers. 25 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.640 He basically comes down to this. He makes a lot of demands. 26 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.159 I want this, or we're out in the middle of the desert. I'd 27 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.719 like an ice rink built. Yeah, if you build me an ice rink, 28 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.439 Or I won't play your festival because I want ice capaid skaters to what 29 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.439 I'm playing. Is that hard? Oh well, too bad for you? 30 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.840 Why don't you do it? So Coachella does it. Then, hours before 31 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.520 his performance, he says, man, I don't want that. I don't 32 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.759 like enough feeling it, So they go, Okay, I got to dismantle 33 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.719 it. They got to reconnect all kinds of electronics and other things that he 34 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.199 is comfortable with and change the whole thing. And you got to You got 35 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.439 very little time to do it. And when it gets fouled up, people 36 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.759 hate it. Then, you know, just watch the fallout of what he 37 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.080 says. But that's basically it. A guy said I want an ice rink. 38 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.800 Then he said, I don't want one, too late to actually, 39 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.560 you know, put on a proper production. So I think you know what 40 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.639 kind of person this is? Now? Who is best? Let's see? 41 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.840 Well, my favorite would have been Blondie. But Debbie Harry cannot sing anymore. 42 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.240 Okay are you hearing me? Now? If you're buying tickets for Debbie 43 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.919 Harry anywhere, you should understand she cannot sing. She has no voice. 44 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.719 All she has to do is get two backup singers to sing all the words 45 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.560 and then she can kind of come in. Or she can be like everybody 46 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.599 else at every other stage and have a play to a track with really good 47 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.599 vocals and sing along with that as much as you can. But evidently she 48 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.400 doesn't want to do that. So the result is you're watching a seventy year 49 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.000 old lady who cannot sing. Well, why why would you do that? 50 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:57.800 Okay, so it's on her now, you know. So I don't know. 51 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.599 You know, it's one of my favorite bands in the world, but 52 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.479 come on, do something. I don't want to hear you sing. You 53 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.039 know what. My wife sings your songs better than you, and she's better 54 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.759 looking at me, and I just I just it's just it's just awful. 55 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.400 It's it's the common thing to do is to go say, did you see 56 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.959 Blondie? Oh, they were amazing, But let's all be honest. No 57 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.600 one will be honest. That was awful. Okay, what does she do? 58 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.399 Debbie Harry? She sings. This is a band that is a vocal 59 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:28.079 oriented band. Okay, pop songs, vocal oriented. The vocals are terrible. 60 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:35.319 Okay, so let's can we stop saying it was amazing. Linda Lenda 61 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.680 has played, Um, they're kids, you know, what can you do? 62 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.480 Rosalia probably the best most talented performance of the weekend. And I haven't 63 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.120 seen the stuff tonight blank when eighty two is playing, but it's just a 64 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:55.240 funny punk band. Um, it's not like Rosalia. You know, and 65 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.879 then you know what this is. This is what Coachell has become an international 66 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.759 festival. And without these international bands, they could never get to two hundred 67 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.720 and fifty thousand. So it's internet. There's a Punjabi band, this guy 68 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.560 liked Legit or something. I don't remember his name, but he's fantastic. 69 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.360 And so many Indians came, and they have so many Koreans. You have 70 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.600 a lot of hip hops, a lot of hip hop fans. And then 71 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:25.600 you got some rock bands, um like Blondie, like Blink one eighty two, 72 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.040 so a good mix. And for six hundred dollars. Thinks that's the 73 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.040 cheapest ticket, Okay, Um my wife paid two hundred dollars just to see 74 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.759 one set by depeche Mode a few weeks ago. So this is six hundred 75 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.720 dollars for the entire weekend. And they got to book all these bands, 76 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.800 and they got to mount this festival which is flawless, a beautiful, litter 77 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:55.199 free music festival that you know, on grass, it's not on pavement. 78 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.800 It's it's hot, but as cools down and the sunset comes, there's no 79 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:10.279 more beautiful place anywhere on the planet than being right there at sunset at Coachella 80 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.720 just absolutely stunning. But yeah, you can. There's a way to do 81 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.759 it where you will hate your life and you will just you know, I 82 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.360 want to just stab yourself, um and take a chance on what's on the 83 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.040 other side. So, but you gotta do it right planet. Well, 84 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.720 um, everybody in there, Um, I think there's a lot of normal 85 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.759 people trying not to be normal. Um. None of it's good. Like 86 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.680 as far as the people walking around, I mean to me, none and 87 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:43.199 nobody's doing anything to to further humanity. It's just it's all. It's all 88 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.480 very self centered and narcissistic. But that's on them, doesn't have to be 89 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:54.240 you, and no one's no one's really there's no bad characters running around, 90 00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:00.120 but they're not at their best. Let's just say that. Okay. So 91 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.120 now this is a show about movies and TV and in addition to concerts and 92 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.040 music and all that stuff. So let's go to the box office. The 93 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:14.639 box office this week topped out by the Super Mario Brothers. Did you see 94 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:20.040 it? I did? Okay, I teach Caddy because Saint Peter Channel in 95 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:26.160 Hawaiian Garden's Confirmation first year Confirmation, I walk into class on Monday and one 96 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.480 of my kids the most locals. He says, Oh, Mistersclante, you 97 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.360 missed a great movie. I'm like, Oh I did, Yeah, Super 98 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:39.079 Mario Brothers. What makes you think I didn't go see it? Oh? 99 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.600 You know, missus Escalante, we went. I thought that was weird the 100 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.680 first thing you said to me you missed a good movie. What do I 101 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.000 look like someone who doesn't like a good Super Mario Brothers movie. It was 102 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:58.600 really good this weekend still at number one, dropped off only thirty seven percent. 103 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.040 That is a very low drop off from the last week. Well, 104 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.439 I guess, I guess this is yeah, very low drop off. I'm 105 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:15.480 just gonna see that. And then number two is Evil Dead Rise from Warner 106 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.120 Brothers to twenty three million. Super Mario Brothers did fifty eight million, and 107 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.560 it's second weekend total gross four hundred and thirty four million, So that's a 108 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:31.480 job or not. MGMs Guy and Guy Ritchie's The Covenant. That's where it 109 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.440 win. The title of a movie is guy as the director in the name 110 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.279 Guy Richie's The Covenant looks really good. I'm going to go see it. 111 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:46.799 It's number three with six million. John Wick drops to number four total one 112 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.759 hundred and sixty eight million. A hit Air the worst title for a movie, 113 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.440 but it's really a great movie for a very good movie. Let's just 114 00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:00.240 call it that. Doing forty one million over at from Amazon Studios but on 115 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:07.279 paid one hundred and thirty million four the movie So is Air starring Ben Affleck 116 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.679 and Matt Damon. Is it a hit? Let's take a break now and 117 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.279 we will check the traffic and we'll come back and we'll talk about whether it 118 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.039 is it hit? Is it worth it for Amazon to be putting these money 119 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:28.720 movies in theaters. We will talk about it. Joe Ascalante Live from Coachella. 120 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:37.559 Joe Ascolante Live from Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Yeah, we're 121 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.039 still talking about movies and TV. But I'm here at Coachella Day three. 122 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.759 Tonight I will go see Blink one eighty two. And last night the big 123 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.159 thing was Black Pink. Who's your favorite member of Black Pink? Mine is 124 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.919 Melissa. I feel like such a parer, but I know they're fun to 125 00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.360 watch and they have a few great songs. I am sorry. Let's see, 126 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.320 we were talking about the Alec Baldwin case. It's being dropped. The 127 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.759 case against Alec Baldwin is being dropped. I mean, how long have we 128 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.559 been dealing with this? First it was involuntary manslaughter with the gun enhancement. 129 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.440 Then the new Mexico prosecutors dropped the gun enhancement. Gun enhancement was stupid. 130 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.279 It was an accident, yeah, but involved a gun, So you get 131 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.519 a five year sentence for that while they're not prosecuting any gun crimes anywhere else. 132 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.399 So it's really silly. That was silly. Then they say they now 133 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.000 have dropped. A new prosecutors came and they have now dropped it because they 134 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.320 said, this is what they say, have new evidence. New evidence says 135 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.679 that the gun was modified. It's all they say. All right, So 136 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.159 I think it just means that they thought it was going to be a loser 137 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.840 for their careers to try to put this guy in jail. They were going 138 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.000 to lose, and if they won, they were going to be losers. 139 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.600 Because the guy's making a movie and he made a mistake. If you hate 140 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.879 him, you want him in prison. And he's made a lot of enemies 141 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.799 because he shouts about politics and acts as if his version of politics are the 142 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:18.279 only right ones and everybody else is a moron, you know. That tends 143 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.799 to make people hate him. But he doesn't deserve to be put in jail 144 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.919 for an accident unless you're unless you think he does because you're a weirdo. 145 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.120 So I think he suffered enough personally. And I don't have what they have 146 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.720 in front of me, but they're saying that just I just think they just 147 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.440 thought it was It wasn't gonna it wasn't gonna work. The interesting thing is, 148 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.799 well, there's so if it was modified, and if it was less 149 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.600 his fault, whose fault was it? Whose fault was it more? Now 150 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:54.879 that to me would be the armorer. The armorer handed him this gun that 151 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.159 was modified. So did she modify it, and if and if the modifications 152 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:05.799 made it less his fault, didn't make it more her fault. So the 153 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:13.000 woman, her last name is gautierres Read, and she is the armor. 154 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.320 Her old lawyers say, we are we are so happy that that's been dropped, 155 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.399 and we expect charges against our client to be dropped as well. I 156 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:31.919 don't know, you know, I think there's some criminal negligence here and we 157 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.240 can't. They say their their investigation is ongoing. So if I was that 158 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.440 the armor. I wouldn't be too sure that this isn't even worse for her, 159 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.840 because now they said it's not him soon whose fault is it somebody else's? 160 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.519 And she's that the crosshairs are directly on her if you ask me. 161 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.559 And the of course, the interesting thing is the the victim, the deceased 162 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.399 cinematographer, and don't forget the director of the film also got hit by something. 163 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:11.080 Howina Hutchins the deceased her husband is now the executive producer of the efforts 164 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.039 to finish the film, so they made some kind of deal there to keep 165 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.759 him from suing the production so we could go on. And he is now 166 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.240 an executive producer of a feature film with Alec Baldwin. Make of that what 167 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.879 you will. Let's move to television. In television today, the most interesting 168 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.039 case to me is the Paramount filing a fifty million dollar counterclaim against Warner Brothers 169 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:39.000 over the south Park cartoons now twenty eighteen. I think it was south Park 170 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:45.960 created, made a deal or Paramount owned south Park. Why because it started 171 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.320 on like you know, MTV or VH one or something, and that was 172 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.960 owned by Viacom and now Viacom merges with CBS and they make this company called 173 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.679 Paramount. So Paramount owns south Park, and what they do is they made 174 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.840 a streaming deal where they got fifty million dollars that they needed from Warner Brothers 175 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:11.159 that they didn't have to stream the south Park content. It would be like 176 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.120 after the day after they would be broadcast on Paramount Plus, they would be 177 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:22.200 or whatever cable channel Paramount owns that's broadcasting them. Also, they would be 178 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:31.399 sent over to HBO for streaming. And then when Paramount Plus so that yeah, 179 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.279 so this would be they would be on Comedy Central, right, Comedy 180 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:39.840 Central. And then when Paramount Plus became a big concern for CBS Vicon Paramount 181 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:46.000 entity, they started saying, we really got to use south Park to make 182 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.919 Paramount Plus subscriptions go up. So let's get some extra specials and some other 183 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.279 content from south Park and let's you put them on Paramount Plus because we need 184 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.200 this. And then Warner Brothers said no, no, no, no, 185 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.879 no, everything goes here. After that, I don't know, they had 186 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.200 some technicality they said, you're breaching our contract by doing that, so they 187 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:16.639 stopped paying. So they owe fifty million dollars and it's incremental payments and so 188 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.919 now they've stopped paying it all because they're saying, you're breaching the contract. 189 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.759 Now here's the response. And now I'm going to make a legal point. 190 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.080 That's why I'm coming up. This is a legal point that can help you. 191 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.159 And when you have contracts that you've believe or breached and you're want to 192 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.279 fight and so this is something you got to know. So what Paramount Plus 193 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.600 says is that Warner Brothers Discovery has indefensively refused to pay more than fifty million 194 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:52.639 dollars it owes for south Park content that it has undisputably received and which HBO 195 00:15:52.679 --> 00:16:00.679 Max continues to air and exploit. Warner Brothers Discoveries argument that Paramount Global was 196 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:06.000 required to deliver an additional south Park content is baseless and wholly unsupported by the 197 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:10.200 party's agreement. Furthermore, it certainly does not justify refusal to pay for immensely 198 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.600 valuable content, all of which it has received and from which it continues to 199 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.480 profit. Okay, Paramount is right about this. If you have a breach, 200 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:26.720 a contractual breach, you cannot you can't like say, okay, you 201 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.799 breach this one part. So I'm not paying any of the money. Like 202 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.360 I always run into this in record deals where bands want off of their label. 203 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.440 You say, hey, will you breach this one area, like you 204 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:47.039 didn't pay on time but during this quarter, and then the resolution of that 205 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.440 that you're defendant if you're trying tossue them and saying the contracts over, I 206 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.720 get to leave the contractor I get to go to another label. That's what 207 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.879 bands always want to do. I want to go to another label. They're 208 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.519 going to give me a big giant advance or whatever, or they're a bigger, 209 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.720 better label they're going to spend more money on, and I'm finally going 210 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:07.000 to get my rockstar dreams to come through. You cannot just unilaterally terminate a 211 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.759 contract, but that's what people always try to do. If there's one breach 212 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.119 in it. They say, well, I'm terminating this contract because you didn't 213 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.640 do this one thing. So the contract's over, so I don't have to 214 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.039 be in your label, or I don't have to pay That's what Warner Brothers 215 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.279 seems to be doing now. They are saying, because you put some stuff 216 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.119 on Paramount plus, we don't have to pay you the fifty million anymore. 217 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.359 Whatever's left of it, and that's just wrong. You have to continue to 218 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.680 pay that fifty million because they delivered the episodes to you and you're still airing 219 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:38.799 them. So it's it's a bad it's it's a technicality maybe, but it's 220 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:42.960 a bad argument because you got to pay your fifty million dollars and if you 221 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:47.559 have a problem with what they did with these little piecemeal things, then you 222 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:52.799 can file a claim for that and or maybe make a deduction, but you 223 00:17:52.799 --> 00:18:02.599 can't just stop paying the end all right, So yeah, it's not that 224 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.400 great, But that could happen to you when whenever you use you think your 225 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.039 contract. You want to terminate a contract, you can't terminate it because of 226 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:15.119 some some certain breach. You know, it would have to be a material 227 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.119 breach that makes it frustrates the purpose of the contract and it can no longer 228 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:26.079 be executed. Like if you had a record label that just just stopped sending 229 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:32.039 out all your records and it ceased operations and they started sending out you know, 230 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:37.119 toilet paper instead. You could say, well, this company doesn't even 231 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.359 put out our records. They put out toilet paper. So this frustrates our 232 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.440 purpose because we're trying to sell records or trying to go on tour. This 233 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.279 was what the contract was for. You could terminate a contract like that if 234 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.200 it's a huge breach, but not if it's just like, well, they 235 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.960 paid late on the royalties. Now, if they paid late, you you 236 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.599 know, you send them a letter and then they have a thirty days to 237 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.480 pay, and then or sixty days to pay, or even maybe then ninety 238 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:04.720 days to pay. You should read a contract and see what that is, 239 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.079 and then if they still don't pay, then you can sue them for that 240 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.160 money. But you might still be under obligation to be under that contract. 241 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.920 So I don't think you can terminate something just because of one little thing. 242 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.480 All right, let's take a break now and we'll come back to Joe Scalante 243 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:26.920 Live from the Coachella Valley. Joe Scolante Live from Coachell on KiB. I've 244 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.039 been here all weekend and tonight is the final night. I'll have the second 245 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.839 weekend of Coachell. It next week the Stage Coach Festival, but I can't 246 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:40.240 go because I got to go to a wedding. So joining myself here in 247 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.799 the desert for these it turns out to be five days. Really come a 248 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.960 day before, you leave a day late, try to avoid traffic, that 249 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:55.359 kind of stuff. All right, Next up on the docket here there's some 250 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.720 Disneyland news. Well, last night, I guess there was a fire during 251 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.000 Tasmic and the dragon, the big dragon that I think breathes fire, it's 252 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.200 caught on fire. So if you look at YouTube, a lot of footage 253 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:17.000 of the dragon on fire in Anaheim on the rivers of America, just in 254 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.160 flames. It's it's as good as it sounds. Look at YouTube, we'll 255 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:29.799 see some some footage of it across the nation from Also in Disney is an 256 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:36.519 article this week about a nineteen million dollars mansion that's actually inside the park grounds 257 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.960 of Disney World. Now, it doesn't sound like it's not like you go 258 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.480 into adventure Land and you turn left and there's a house and you're going to 259 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.319 buy it and live in it. I think that would cost more than nineteen 260 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:55.160 million. There is a mansion. There's a neighborhood of mansions, a lot 261 00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:00.079 of mansions, and it's called Golden Oak, and it's on Disney property, 262 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.359 developed by Disney. And if you look, if you google this, the 263 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:11.200 house for nineteen million. A lot of you know, Star Wars room and 264 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.720 all that kind of stuff. But if you're a Disney freak, it said, 265 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.839 like the people use this for vacations. But after the pandemic, people 266 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.519 started realizing, you know what, let's live for a full time, and 267 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.079 so a lot of full time residents at Golden Oak. I've never been to 268 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.440 Golden Oak. I've been to Celebration. Celebration is a neighborhood also developed by 269 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.160 Disney, and they wanted to when they built first built in Disney World in 270 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.200 Epcot, they wanted to make neighborhoods. They wanted to make Disney and Disney 271 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.680 neighborhoods for people to live in, and and Celebration was the first one, 272 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.240 and they did it, and they certainly they didn't like it. They didn't 273 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.319 like the business. There's a couple of books about Celebration Florida, two of 274 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.160 them. They're both got up. Read both of them and I highly recommend 275 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.160 reading those. Just like the kind of people that went and bought homes there 276 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.240 and the rules they had to live by very fascinating. But Golden Oak. 277 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.599 I didn't even know about Golden Oak until I read this article. So if 278 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.480 you got nineteen million that's a pretty good one. Okay. Now we're going 279 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:18.039 to move over to celebrities behaving badly and he probably heard about this. Jonathan 280 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:26.319 Majors. He's the star of the recent Anton Man movie where he plays Kang. 281 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.240 Then he's the star of let me let me just pull up his resume 282 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.880 for you. I guess he first got famous in the TV series Lovecraft Country. 283 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:42.240 They were stories based on HB. Lovecraft novels. I guess. Then 284 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:48.039 he was the star of the Last Black Man in San Francisco in twenty nineteen. 285 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.319 Critics love that movie. I haven't seen it. I gotta see that 286 00:22:51.359 --> 00:23:00.000 movie now. Then he becomes Kang in The ant Man and then coming up 287 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:08.880 Out, and then he's Creed three. He plays the main challenger um in 288 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:15.519 Creed three, Damien Anderson, that was his role. Then he's gonna be 289 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.279 in another Anton Man movie that's you know, Kang, It's all Kang. 290 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.119 And then he just became like he's going to be in every movie, Avengers 291 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.240 Secret Wars coming in twenty twenty six, the Kang Dynasty. So he's got 292 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.079 a movie title. You know, he's the lead role. And then in 293 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:38.920 this adventure of the next Avengers movie, the Kang Dynasty. He's in a 294 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:45.720 movie called forty eight Hours in Vegas playing Dennis Rodman, and then a movie 295 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:51.839 called The Understudy. It's in pre production. I mean, i would say 296 00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:59.039 of all the actors working today, I'd say the most promising future of any 297 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.039 young actor. I mean, he's not that young, but he's He's on 298 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:11.400 top a list, if ever there was a plus list. Now comes nasty 299 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:18.640 rumors, the kind that get you canceled domestic violence. But he maintains his 300 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.440 innocence. He says he is irrefutable evidence proves he did not attack his girlfriend. 301 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:33.200 And but he's getting canceled from just about everything that he's that he's working 302 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.079 on. And everyone's looking at this really close. I mean, the stakes 303 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.039 could not get higher, and everybody's you know, wants to know if is 304 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.400 this stuff true? Okay, there seems to be several allegations. One of 305 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:52.000 them is from a woman who hasn't been named yet, but Jonathan Major's lawyer 306 00:24:52.160 --> 00:25:02.839 has filed some legal documents that attempt that allegedly show the victim going clubbing after 307 00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.000 the attack. In the video footage, she appears uninjured using her right hand 308 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.960 and the finger Majors as accused of breaking. She danced her way to the 309 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.640 DJ booth, passed a note to the DJ, danced wildly, even hanging 310 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.000 off the DJ booth with her right hand, drank her champagne, smoked a 311 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:25.720 vape, clearly having a great time. A Major's attorney says he was the 312 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:32.000 victim, and the story goes according to him that as was witnessed by the 313 00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:36.720 driver, who saw and heard everything. According to the attorney, just before 314 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:41.759 one am, see out. At one am, bad stuff happens. The 315 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.640 woman assaulted mister Majors in a car while she was attempting to steal his phone. 316 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:49.519 The driver will testify that mister Majors never struck her in any way at 317 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.960 any times that would be powerful, or even raised his voice, and instead, 318 00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:00.200 while she was hitting and scratching and attacking him, the driver to open 319 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.400 the door so that he could jump out of the car and escape her. 320 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.279 The driver will testify that he unlocked the door to help mister Major's escape. 321 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:15.000 Then the woman attacked mister Major's on the street as he tried to run away 322 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.680 from her. In doing so and in trying to prevent him from escaping, 323 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.559 she ripped his coat buttons and tore his coat pocket, but he got away. 324 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.759 Major supposedly checked into a hotel while the woman went to a nightclub. 325 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.240 While partying, she sent him angry, jealous text messages and accused him of 326 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.960 infidelity. She supposedly charged an eight hundred dollars bottle of champagne to his credit 327 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:42.279 card without permission. The woman then went to an apartment. His apartment around 328 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.240 three thirty am called him thirty two times again. I remember he's in a 329 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:52.519 hotel and they have security footage saying she looks like she's fine. And then 330 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.680 when he returned the next morning, he found her unconscious in his walk in 331 00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.960 closet. She said, according to bodycamp footage from paramedics, she took a 332 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:08.680 few sleeping pills. You know, so anyway, she sounds nuts, Yeah, 333 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.240 she sounds nuts. Jeez, sounds like she's got problems. But many 334 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.119 people are not coming to Major's defense because they say there's other things out there 335 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.480 like this. I'm just dealing with this case. This case looks terrible, 336 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.359 so I don't think he's going to suffer from this case. But the question 337 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:33.599 is will this bankable star be canceled and who will take his place? In 338 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:41.039 all these movies he has coming up. He's expected to be an Awards contender 339 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:47.839 this year for his performance in something called Magazine DRAMs. He's already facing setbacks 340 00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:51.400 to his career, though. The actor was dropped by his publicist and manager 341 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:56.240 earlier this week, and a few projects he was attached to cut ties. 342 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:02.599 However, the actor's role in the Marvel of Cinema Manic University Where University Universe, 343 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:07.319 where he's set to play Kang in several films, is reportedly still up 344 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.119 in the air, as that you know, Disney owns that thing and they're 345 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:17.160 going to make a decision, and but you know, and then some of 346 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.720 these movies like Loki if a second season. Loki already been shot a Quantum 347 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.319 adam at Man on Quantum Ade, He's already in the theaters. I'll be 348 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:32.039 in court May eighth to go before a judge on the domestic finlence charges. 349 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:37.839 But I mean for him to get dropped by his publicist, Like the attorneys 350 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.559 have done a great job showing Hey, this is all bys she's nuts. 351 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.400 Okay, that's what they got me on it. I'm wow. But he's 352 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.559 been dropped by his publicists. There's something else there and we'll have to find 353 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.039 out what that is. All right, let's take a break, we'll check 354 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.359 the traffic, and we'll come back with Joe Escalante Live this weekend from Coachella 355 00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:30.720 on KiB. Loyal you don't want Joe Esplante Life from Coachella Valley Music and 356 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:37.240 Arts Festival on KiB. We're here all weekend long and tonight, third Night, 357 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.279 number three, Weekend number two, Blink one eighty two takes over for 358 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.480 the messed up Frank Ocean. I think I talked to you guys a little 359 00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:52.680 bit about last week the Fox Dominion case. What I said about the Fox 360 00:29:52.319 --> 00:30:02.039 News Channel's lawsuit that they are the defendants in um from this Dominion voting company. 361 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:07.759 They make voting machines, and people went on Fox News Channel during the 362 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:12.599 aftermath of the election when Trump lost and said, there's no way that this 363 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:18.000 guy lost it. Dominion voting machines are rigged. That's what they were saying, 364 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.559 and Jnald Trump was saying this, so he had his people on his 365 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.799 side saying these voting machines are rigged, among other things in this election. 366 00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:33.599 It turns out they couldn't prove it, and so it was a disparaging thing 367 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.799 to say about a dominion about a voting machine company. The voting machine company 368 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.119 says they lost contracts I think primarily in Republican states. Says, well, 369 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.559 don't use dominion. I think they rigged the elections. And they based this 370 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:55.079 on the fact, according to some sources, that the how did how did? 371 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.440 How is it possible that Joe Biden got fifteen million more vote votes then 372 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:06.160 not Donald Trump, then Barack Obama? How is that possible? How did 373 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:14.400 Biden? The aging white Biden who was hiding during the whole campaign, didn't 374 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.960 go out, didn't didn't campaign. I mean, it's easy to see how 375 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.759 he won. The country's to find it, But how did he get fifteen 376 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.799 million more votes? That's bizarre. So one of the theories was maybe the 377 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.559 machines are rigged. So that's what Donald Trump says, and he says he 378 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:37.000 has proof. So Fox starts reporting this. They don't report that it's true. 379 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:38.960 They report that these people are saying it, and they bring the people 380 00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:45.480 on. Now they couldn't prove it, so then they said Fox's spreading lies. 381 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.559 I think there's a difference between putting these people on to who are a 382 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:55.839 notable people and Donald who are expressing Donald Trump's theory that he's spreading everywhere and 383 00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:57.319 saying, here's what they say. Let's see what they have to say about 384 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:02.480 it. Do they have any And the people didn't come up with much, 385 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:13.799 so what they should have probably concentrated on other things that were like the laptop, 386 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:15.160 the Bunner Hear Biden laptop. They probably should have just concentrate on that 387 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.119 because that turned out to be true, stuff that affected the election and the 388 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.759 dominion. Stuff they couldn't prove and it hurt this company, and this company 389 00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.720 sues them for defamation because remember, what do you have to have for defamation? 390 00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.480 You need something that makes people spit on the ground and it has to 391 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:37.559 be not true. Okay, so you guys cheated and affected the outcome of 392 00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.240 an election. People spit on the ground. It's terrible. How dare you 393 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.359 now? If it's not true, you gotta done with the defamation case. 394 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:51.799 In this case, I think these people believe that it was true, so 395 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.319 you would have to have a trial and say we're going to prove that it's 396 00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:59.799 true. Maybe they can prove it's true. Probably not, but maybe it 397 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:01.480 was their opinion. If it's their opinion. It's people have a right to 398 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:06.400 an opinion. Everybody has a right to say I think Dominion cheated because I 399 00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.720 just don't believe it's possible that they that Biden could have got fifteen million more 400 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:16.160 votes than Obama. So you have a right to say that. But and 401 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:22.319 also this is a public figure. Dominion accounts as a public figure. I 402 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.440 think most people agree. So you have to get to a higher level of 403 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.119 defamation. You have to knowingly say things you know are false, and then 404 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.400 you have to know that they will hurt that person. You're doing it for 405 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.359 the purpose of hurting them, or you're so recklessly disengaged from it you have 406 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.799 you're at in paying attention to how much damage you're causing. So that's what 407 00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:45.079 Dominion is hanging on, because they have texts going back and forth saying these 408 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.559 people are KuPS, but we got to put them on because you know, 409 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:54.039 our audience has already mad at us, so we can't stifle them. Now. 410 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.680 If if Fox was going to stifle these people and say you're not even 411 00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.839 allowed to say this might be true, then they have other problems because now 412 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.720 they're censoring people who may have a case. Now that we've seen what's happened 413 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.719 with Hunter Biden laptop and the CIA actually getting involved to try to affect the 414 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:17.119 election. Now we see how high these things can go and how sinister this 415 00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:25.480 election tampering can get. So it is maybe in retrospect reasonable to investigate this, 416 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.079 But back then there's so much pressure from the media all the way around, 417 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:32.280 and also depends on what court you're going to get in. If you're 418 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.360 in a court in New York and your Fox fighting this thing, you're kind 419 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.199 of screwed because they don't like Fox News. So that's what happened to Fox. 420 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:46.079 They had a couple setbacks in during the court hearing, saying We're not 421 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.039 even going to listen to this one. They said, we're not going to 422 00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.480 let you even argue that this stuff is free speech because we have a court 423 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:58.280 have determined that they were lies. And that's very strange, and I think 424 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.079 that might have been overturned in a you'll have a judge can say I determine 425 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:05.599 those were lies. Really, I mean, it was so close to the 426 00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:08.360 election, you really don't know fifteen million votes, there's a lot of suspicious 427 00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.920 stuff, calling them lies and saying I'm not going to argue whether that they 428 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.119 might have been opinions or you know, we have a free speech a right 429 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:17.760 to say these things. I'm going to say, you don't have a right 430 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.920 to say that because they were lies. So the only question we're going to 431 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:23.960 talk about is how much damage you did to these people, whether it was 432 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:30.280 willful or it rises the level of malice. And so Fox is up against 433 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.280 a wall there, Dominions up against the wall because they're saying that they have 434 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:37.079 one point six billion in damages when they don't have any damages, arguably because 435 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.440 they're making more money than they ever made in their lives and they want one 436 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:45.239 point six billion in damages. So that's a hard one. But if they 437 00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.159 go in front of a jury, the jury could say I hate Fox News. 438 00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.960 You can have five billion, have ten billion. I hate these people. 439 00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:55.519 So Fox has to worry about that. So they settled like last Monday 440 00:35:55.519 --> 00:36:00.400 on the day of the trial. Remember what I said about this that you 441 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.000 won't be able to find anything printed that will tell you what you need to 442 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.840 know about this case because everything printed, everything in the media is based is 443 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.559 written by Fox's enemies. And they wanted to say it was so devastating it 444 00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:15.840 would be the end of Fox News, but because they wish it would be 445 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.519 the end of Fox News. So I just said, don't we don't know. 446 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.679 We don't know anything. All we know is what we will find out 447 00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.079 at the trial. Because all we've heard from his dominion's opinion. We haven't 448 00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:30.119 heard Foxes officially because they haven't filed anything other than you know, these couple 449 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:36.480 motions. They haven't done their testimony to say their bulk of their their defense. 450 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.159 So I just wasn't listening to anything of it. People were sending me 451 00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:44.159 stuff because I make two shows for Fox Nation, and they were saying, 452 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.000 oh man, you your network is going to go out of business. It's 453 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:52.599 devastating. It's the end of Fox these text messages, it's going to bring 454 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.480 down the whole empire. And I didn't believe it because we were only hearing 455 00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.639 from their enemies. Now we've heard from everybody, well not really. We 456 00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:07.320 have a settlement. Seven hundred and eighty seven million is the settlement from Fox. 457 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.840 The Fox will pay Dominion. They don't want to go in front of 458 00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.800 a trial and find out they have to pay five billion. They don't want 459 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:21.880 to take that chance. And with a New York jury and dominion doesn't want 460 00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.760 to take a chance to try to get one point seven billion or more because 461 00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.039 even if they did win at trial, it's very likely it would be appealed, 462 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.199 and then if it goes up to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's 463 00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:39.679 got a six to three conservative majority, the chances are that's not going to 464 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:44.000 be that great for a dominion when it goes there. So they would never 465 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.159 get their money because you don't have to pay until you all these appeals ran 466 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:50.480 out, So it'd be like five years before this dominion guy, I think 467 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:53.960 it's just one guy too, would get any money, and the whole time 468 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:59.199 he'd be going through trial, probably not paying fees, but racking up fees 469 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.400 that would be paid on after he wins. What if he doesn't win, 470 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.960 Now he wasted a lot of time, but his company is still making money. 471 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:20.400 So so now here's my main point. Devastating for Fox. Now their 472 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.519 insurance is going to pay most of this, maybe all of it, and 473 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:27.679 anything they do pay is tax deductible, because if you have a lawsuit like 474 00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.079 this and it's a private company that you might have to pay money to, 475 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:34.800 it's tax deductible. If it's a government saying you're getting fined and you got 476 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.639 to pay a seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars in fines. You got 477 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.039 to pay that, and you can't deductive from your taxes. But in something 478 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:44.440 like this, it's tax deductible. Fox makes a ton of cash. They 479 00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.199 need deductions, and they have this insurance so they won't affect their business at 480 00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:52.639 all. And which is you know, I don't really it's not really here 481 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:54.000 nor there where they're to fix their business. But when I had to hear 482 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:57.079 all the people telling me it was going to be the end of Fox, 483 00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.920 and it was devastating and all this stuff, all those people are stupid and 484 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:01.639 eyes. So every time you see one of those articles to say this is 485 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:07.280 the end of Fox, Fox devastating thing for Fox, not true. More 486 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:12.000 fake news. So I hope someone gives them a flick right in the forehead 487 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.920 all the people that said that. Anyway, All right, well that's the 488 00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.719 end of the segment and there's always more.
