Major League Baseball has moved the old-star game out of Atlanta because they don't like

0:06.6

a law that was passed by the legislature. I don't like the law either. But I'm not sure

0:11.2

that was an appropriate occasion for this kind of a boycott. And I worry about boycotts

0:16.6

and the effect it can have on the democratic processes, including the judicial system.

0:22.4

What if a jury were to acquit in the shopping case or come back with a verdict less than

0:28.8

murder? Will we see that kind of boycott as well? Will we see baseball and football and basketball,

0:35.2

moving things out of Minneapolis or Minnesota? And will the jury's decision be influenced or

0:42.4

impacted by the threat of violence, the threat of economic consequences? We'll discuss all of these

0:48.8

issues on the Dirt Show. Hi, welcome to the Dirt Show. The location may look unfamiliar to you

1:30.4

some very interesting testimony this morning from the emergency room doctor who pronounced

1:38.4

George Floyd dead after trying unsuccessfully to resuscitate him. And he testified quite persuasively

1:46.8

that there were no indicia of a drug overdose or a heart attack. Of course, on cross examination and

1:55.6

through other experts, they will be able to establish that the reason there was no indication of a

2:01.1

drug overdose isn't nobody told them about it. And when you're trying to revive somebody and

2:05.9

trying to get his heart beating again, you go in the information you have. Nobody told them

2:13.3

that he had been taking drugs. He didn't know the history and nobody told him that he may have

2:19.2

suffered a heart attack. Look in the end, I think it's very clear what a reasonable jury will conclude
