| 0:14.8 | Here he is, Michael Savage. |
| 0:19.2 | Welcome to the Michael Savage podcast. We have a great writer, Daniel McCarthy, who I've |
| 0:24.1 | been reading for a long while. He's a columnist at The Spectator for years between 2010 and |
| 0:31.0 | 2016. He was editor at large of the American Conservative. And to me, very very interestingly mr. McCarthy worked as |

| 1:29.0 | around the car, he was right in front of it, and suddenly the car starts pulling forward. |
| 1:33.4 | In that situation, it's life and death. The car is a lethal weapon that is aimed at him. He |
| 1:39.2 | draws his weapon and fires. So a lot's going to come down to exactly what the timeline there |
| 1:43.6 | was. You know, |
