| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:57.8 | because I've had to come to New York for a few days. So for the next few days we'll be doing the |
| 1:04.0 | show from my apartment in New York instead of from the home studio. But the Dirt Show will be the |
| 1:11.0 | same. The content will be the same. The background will look a little different. So today is the |
| 1:16.8 | second week of the show I'm in trial. Last week was a motion week. This week is science week, |
| 1:22.9 | little boring, little tedious, lots of having to establish credentials and background. But we saw |
| 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 |
