When there's a judge trial rather than a jury trial, sometimes the public interest is not always reflected in the verdict.

Sometimes the public outrage is not always reflected in the rulings.

We're one of the few countries on earth, Roy, that has citizen juries deciding acts of wrongful death against our authorities.

England has defamation.

Some countries have a couple of causes of action.

But only in America can the people

reflect the outrage of the moment by their voices in a jury.

That's why it's so very important.

Dan, it is their playbook that they are using almost automatically.

Within minutes, if not hours, of a tragedy, and there will be others, they are labeled domestic terrorists, which is such an outrageous insult.

But it reflects the partisanship, regrettably, that has so engulfed our country

The fact that the political leanings of a particular state or a city is the basis for focus is outrageous, is un-American.

The last time I looked, the president is the president of all of us.

And until President 45, they always embraced that notion.

Even if you didn't vote for me, I'm your president.

I want to work for you.

Mike, I'm the father of a 31-year-old Black son.

Every father of young Black men have had the conversations with their children.
