  Speaker 4: this morning. Harvey, good morning, how you doing well? I'm
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: fine and I'm glad to be here. We bulldozed up
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: the I.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Sixty four from beautiful Putnam County to find my way
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: to Charles this morning. I really thought that the trip
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: would be a little more difficult than it was. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: left the house about seven, and God actually got here
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: probably twenty till eight. Because the interstate, Thank goodness for
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: the theh workers. We've got the folks that respond and
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: they're out there working all night, and they'd be working
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: all day to day to put the salt and to
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: scrape the roads. The interstate was really good. But driving it,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: you know, I was listening to the radio, of course,
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: listening to you guys, and I had already read the
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: gazette this morning and you know Metro News online. It
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: is one thing that pops into my heart that I've
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: got to say. I mean, I've practiced law all over
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: West Virginia in the fifty one years that I've been
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: practicing here, and a lot of cases in Boone County,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: something down in Logan County, Wyhoming County, down in Pineville.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Welch Williamson IF had business in Louisiana and Gilbert and
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: what the good people who live in those counties have
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: had to put up with and it's not something that's new.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: I was in Williamson in nineteen seventy seven after the
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: flood there and saw what happened there. I had one
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: of my best friends in undergraduate school with Jim hump
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: was Danny Humphreys from down Mullins and Luther Lafon and
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Dave McCormick from from Logan, and then you've got Kibby
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Lewis was in school with me from Welch. I mean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: it's just time after time, and I'm thinking, why isn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: all business suspended today? In the legislature of West Virginia.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Let's move past some social issue about vaccination and ephemeral
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: thoughts about freedom. But we have to solve this problem
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: or not or just be honest. We have to have
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: some politicians who are going to be honest and say, look,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: we realize that this area of the state is peopled
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: by some of the most honest, hard working. They love
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: their children, They treat them like cubs, almost in packs.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: They do the very best they can to educate their children.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: They're devoted to their sports teams. Civically responsible, but they're
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: curs they're working under a curse of an extractive industry
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: that has pounded and pounded and pounded into almost oblivion
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: over the last hundred and some years. I always thought
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: when I drove into Welch, you would see that sign
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: and said, now entering mcdalell County, the home of the
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: billion dollar coal field, I said, yes, but not home
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: to any public sewer system or any water system. It
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: makes me sick. You see our deep which is like
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: the Department of Environmental Protection. That's an oxymoron for that bunch. Well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: this water passes all federal drinking water health standards. Okay,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: but it's rusty, right, It's muddy, and it tastes terrible,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: and it tastes like iron, So okay, you drink it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: It's easy to sit up here in Charleston and talk
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: about what we're going to have to do to help
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: the coal industry. The problem was we spent decades taking
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: the money that was generated on the backs of these
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: good folks down there in that five or six county
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: region and spending it or giving it away. And remember
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: the super tax credits of Odius Archmore third term, or
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: the significant reductions we saw over the last five years
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: in the in the severance tacks on low seam coal.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Just give it away or give it to Marshall to
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: build a baseball stadium. All three of my children went
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: to Marshall, all three of their spouses went to Marshall.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: My wife graduating from Marshall. It's a wonderful institution. But
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: to see people who don't have water to drink in
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Welsh It's county seat. And to find out that the
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Water Redevelopment Authority, Marie Presiezo's commission, you know, like four
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: million dollars to the baseball stadium because it's quote economic development.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: All right. I can see that Marshall would like to
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: have a baseball stadium. I'd like to have one of
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: my backyard two build it and they will come. How
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: about four and a half million dollars for the for
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the keith Alby Theater. It's a wonderful place I've been.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: I think the Martial Artists series is a great thing
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: to do. But don't take clean water out of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: mouths of children in a five county area that is
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: the most depressed. And it's it's an anchor. It's a drag.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: And I don't say that with any ill will or
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: animosity towards the people who live there. They're really great.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: I mean the times that I bill you can't be
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: treated any better than the courthouse staff, more friendly? How
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: you doing? Can I help you? That wonderful sort of
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Elizabethan twang, but misgoverned by the politicians and just flat
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: out lied to. And so you're living in a society
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: down there and around here as well, where if you're
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: an insurance guy or an accountant or a lawyer making
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: some money, or in particular a politician, if you got
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: a good job of the Board of Education or somebody
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: got don the payroll of the County Commission, you don't care.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: It's there's just an absence of any real care. It's
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: not carelessness, because you have to care before you can
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: be careless. And this makes me sick. I've watched it
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: all my life. If you want to talk about, well,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: why do we have such low performance and low job
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: rate participation, Well, look where it is. You can have
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: all the jobs you want in mont County and Harrison
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: County and Marion County, in Ohio County. You can have
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: a workforce participation rate of seventy percent there. But if
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: the rope workforce participation rate in Mingo back down Wyoming
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Logan Boon is thirty five percent. Because you've got a
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: population of folks who are disabled, unable to work, but
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: have had the life ground out of them or have
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: been subjected to the huge influx. Where did all the
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: pills go? Where did they ship all the pills? Right? Yeah?
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: People lighting up and we got politicians up here, Democrat
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: and Republican. It wasn't any better when Mojo was in
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: up there. I mean he couldn't wait to cut business
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: franchise taxes and give lip service to the coal fields.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: We never did anything. I mean, you saw Governor Justice,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: who's now in the United States Senates, sitting on twenty
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: some million dollars in money that was supposed to go
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: to corrections. He takes ten million bucks and goes and
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: throws out a first ball at a non existent baseball
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: park while people in uh Welch. The mayor is saying,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: you know, we are going to buy the water lines.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: How are they going to get the money to replace
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: the water lines. It's just incredible, Coop. I would just
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: hope that people would if we had port you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: torches and pitch forks and a whole group of people
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: who would march on the Capitol. But I don't think
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: it's going to make any different, we asked, asked the
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: president of said he's a coal miner. Well, we've got
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: to protect our miners. Well, indeed we do, so quit
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: killing them early at a time, right.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's the industry.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: They don't mean the miners, they mean the industry, They
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: mean the colt that people. My mother was born in Raleigh.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: That there's something that I heard somebody say once that
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I thought really struck me.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: And it was.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: The best trick that the devil ever pulled was to
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: convince folks that work was moral. And I think that
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: in some degree when you talk about places like in
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: the coal fields and stuff like that, a lot of
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: people think attached that with their with like how good
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: of a person they are, you know, Like they don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: want to they don't want to push back when anything,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: because work is synctom synctem, it's it's it's the thing
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: that you do, it's what you know. It's how you
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: earn your your place in life and stuff, which is
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: true to a degree. But you have to fight for
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: yourself within that, within that period too.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Well, there's there's dignity to work. And from the Constitution
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: of the United States for America was was adopted as
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: essentially a commercial document. It sets up commerce between the
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: States and commerce with foreign countries, and and a system
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: of courts to enforce the rule of law, in a
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: system of patents for protection. But the best trick the
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: devil pulled is convincing a whole group of people who
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: are now sitting in the freezing cold with no water
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: and greater destruction than they had even back in seventy seven.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Is that an amoral South African immigrant who's the richest
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: person in the world cares about you. Now, the devil
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: should get accolades for that, right, Or that amoral, blasphemous
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: multiple adulterers who crap in golden toilets really care, right,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: It's just that's the trick that we've pulled. Anyway, it
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: has nothing to do with the law. It is, well,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: it is to do with the law, because I've been
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: exposed to those areas down there, and I can tell
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: you what delightful, hard working, essentially honest people that there are. Now,
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: there are some bad apples, there's bad politicians everywhere, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: you can believe meetouse with a muzzle on. But you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: why aren't we Why isn't that the whole? And maybe
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: it will be maybe it's too soon. Maybe next week
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: the governor is gonna come out. We're gonna to put
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: everything on hold. We're going to address flood recovery and
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: we're going to say what do we do with wells?
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: We can't just keep asking these folks to go back
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: to towns that have no value.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, every new story that we've done from down
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: there has been historic, once in a lifetime tragedy, just
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: massive amounts of damage. And I mean and there, like
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: you said, and Chris Lawrence was down there on tuesday,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Jess Inklins went down yesterday and with all the inn
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, we have a we have a charity drive
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: that we're doing a week from yesterday. So on Wednesday
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: of next week, we're doing a charity drive. We're calling
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: it drop the Bucket, and the concept of that is
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: you get your bucket, you put your cleaning supplies and
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: stuff that you need, and that you drop it off here.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: But they're all doing that. I mean, it's amazing how
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: they just put one foot in front of the other.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Help the neighbor out. I mean, it's really I mean,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: just give them a crack. Just give people a crack.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: The hard work is there.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: But here's here's what I see from the standpoint of
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: a lawyer who's pretty much made my career analyzing situations
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: and talking to people and trying to talk reasonably to jurors,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: is it doesn't do folks any favor to convince them
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: that working to overcome tragic conditions and occurrences is just
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: really a good thing. So we should keep doing it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: You know, we should keep putting up with bridges that fall,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: and coal dams that fail, and water systems that open up,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: because you know, because we're West Virginia. Because hey, we're
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: put on the earth to suffer, right.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Right right, it's moral to stand up, to be to
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: be stowing in the face of that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Well it is, but it congratulations, your stoic. Now I'm
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: going to go back to Charleston and I'm going to
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: do what I want to do, or I'm going to
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm going to worry about five million dollars
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: to a Catholic propaganda machine in Steuvenville, Ohio. We gave
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: that away. I can't believe Marpresioso. She's a long time
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: public servant. Or brother was in the state Senate for years.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: How they can sit there with a straight face without
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: being humiliated by the giveaways out of this water development
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: fund and a more aggressive stance. But of course, remember
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: about thirty years ago, maybe you may not have been
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: here then, when there was some move that they were
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: going to put some landfill business in McDowell County on
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: some of the US steel property. Well there was this
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: coalition form, you know, Citizens for a Clean County. Well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: you know who did it, call association funding it. They
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: don't want any wage competition down there, photoces anything they
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: want to. You know, I've got a saying that I
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: employee all the time, and it's in the land of
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: the blind. The one eyed man is king, and the
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: king ain't spending any money on ie research. Right. That's
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: where we are, right right, right, So moving beyond that, Uh.

  Speaker 4: We can and take our break. If you want to
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: reset card, I could do that.

  Speaker 4: we when we had to switch over to the studio
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: lines is our old fifty eight. Fifty eight line was
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: still an old school landline, like straight, just like we've
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: had it for years, and it was the same number
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: we had forever, which was good and bad. It was
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: bad because we couldn't pourt it anywhere in the building,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: but it was good because it basically always worked since
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: we had to go over to the new lines. Whenever
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: there's an internet at eruption, whenever there's maybe bad weather,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: sometimes those scenes get a little squirrely. I heard there
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: might have been office line issues earlier this morning. I'm
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: not sure if that's still the case, So just in case,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: you can also text us at three zero four non
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: three five five zero zero eight three zero four non
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: three five five zeros er eight We have had I
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: was saying to our engineers last night, just as an aside,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: we have had one of the craziest runs just I know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: we've had pretty crazy weather in general in West Virginia.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Like if you take a year period. A year ago,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: our towers got blown down in the big windstorm that
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: came through, and you go forward a year from that,
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: and even a little bit back from there, we have
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: had just some of the craziest like high winds, really
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: cold weathers. We've had some really straight weather and it's
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: taking a toll on the radio equipment business.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Well, it takes a toll on everybody. And we suffered
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: some damage in our house from the high winds. I'd
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: have a new roof put on. Obviously, the flooding, the
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: drought from last year which really crippled a lot of farmers,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: and it's going to really, I think, cause meat prices
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: to go up significantly come this spring because the farmers
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: sold off their cattle. But you know, yeah, a little
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: technical problems here. I mean, folks that are listening, you know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: if you have a little issue calling in, it's only
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: because of all the improvements that are actually being made
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: in this building. It's a transfer. You know. When we
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: started twenty six years ago, I was across the hall
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: and the bigger studio where you know, we've got all
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: a better setup. We moved over here a few years ago,
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: but it's still you know, it's it's it's talk radio,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: it's public interest radio, and it's advertising for us. So
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: if you have a little problem, be patient because the
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Paint Law Firm is not going to go away. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: if you have questions or things you'd like to talk about.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: If you don't get through the first time, if the
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: first you don't succeed, try try again. I mean, we've
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: been in business as the Peyton Law Firm for me
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: in Nitro almost fifty years, have been practicing law fifty
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: one years. My son has been practicing law twenty two years,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: this year twenty three actually, and you know, we're here
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: and because we know my earlier comments about the southern counties,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: because we've been there and we know the people who
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: live there, and we feel a kinship with the people
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: who are here because we've all been here all of
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: our lives. And our offices in Nitro at the corner
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: of twenty eighth Street and First Avenue. It's in Putnam County,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: but across the street from the Kanawa county line. And
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: if you have an issue, say you've had someone injured
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: in an automobile accident, or heaven forbid, someone killed in
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: an accident, or we've suffered a loss. You've got an
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: insurance company that won't pay you. We've got a life
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: insurance policy that someone trying to deny payment on. You
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: have a worker's compensation issue or a disability issue. There
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: are dozens of lawyers who do a lot of advertising
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: on television, and I'm not knocking them because that's how
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: they care to budget their their funds, and that's how
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: they care to use their time. But regardless of what
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: choice you make, and I can't tell you anybody wouldn't
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: deign to be arrogant enough to tell somebody ought to,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: you've got to hire us. But if you can give
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: the Paytent Law Firm a thought, going to go online
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: to Paytent Lawfirm dot com and we can certainly help you.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Or if you have another issue, a more mundane but
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: quality of life issue you need some help with a
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: state or help you. We've had a parent who died
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: or a sibling, and you think, how am I going
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: to settle this? We're always there to talk to you,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: and I like to say that, Well, some people think
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: big is better. We have an office in a small town,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: but we're not a small time law firm. Tom and
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: I do tremendous amounts of work with a great staff.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: One of the thing and one of the things we
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: do is we do our own research. And I don't
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: want to go to court. Now you've heard me speak
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: before about the M and M Law firm that is
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: that reports to be the largest personal entry firm in
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: the world. That's because they sign up a thousand lawyers
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: around the country the factor cases to or to act
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: as runners for their principal operation out in Florida. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: so they went to Wyoming. Our M and M buddies.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: The people who would say, don't go see the Peyton
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: law firm who knows this area, who does their own research,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: sell your claim with us on your telephone. Those people
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: they went out to Wyoming. A local lawyer out there
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: hired them because they get impressed with the commercials. Wanted
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: to see this guy who's spot them. Admitted to practice
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: anywhere and filed a law Suitingainst Walmart and another company
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: over a defected product in federal court and well, emotion
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: arose before they go to trawlers, a thing called emotion
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: and lemonye, which is a motion to the court to
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: maybe restrict or redirect how testimonies presented at a trial.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: And in response to that motion, the largest law firm
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: in the universe filed a response. They cited nine different
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: cases and supported their position. I know, oh for eight
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: of them. They have now been forced to admit they
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: were AI hallucinations AI hallucinations. And there is a hearing
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: scheduled next week in a federal court in Wyoming to
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: determine who's going to be sanctioned. Now. The lawyer, the
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: local lawyer out there who saw the ads apparently and
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: hired these people and said, hey, wait a minute, oh
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: look look at me. I sent this to the M
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: and m's right, and they never sent it back to
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: me to look over. Or they just file this without
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: my review, even though I represent the plaintiff. That's because
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: they're the biggest in the world, and all of a
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: sudden and behold, well, we would if we'd have looked
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: at this, we could have told them all these cases
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: don't exist. This is not the long Wyoming and that's
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: what you get. So if that's what you want, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: I would say that would only be maybe second to
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: believing that a South African pervert immigrant cares about you.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: The rich has ben then answer an ad on television
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: or on this station. They run ads on this station
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: because they don't like the fact that we talk about them.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I think it's probably retaliatory. They don't have any lawyers
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: here that can hold a candle to any of us
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: to tell you the truth, period paragraph. But we're going
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: to see how that shakes out. Now. Then then get
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: this the M and MS. They have to send an email.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: They don't even know who their lawyers are. They have
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: to send an email of these thousand addresses of their
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: quote retained lawyers say, hey, AYI is really dangerous. You're
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: the ones that did it. You're telling these lawyers AI
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Hallucinagas are dangerous. But you're the law firm that filed
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: a bogus response to emotion in federal court citing non
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: existent cases. Obviously nobody read them, nobody looked at it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: And so again I just can't emphasize how much and
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: there's self interest involved, of course, because I practice here,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: I've lived here all my life, and I think it's
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: a disservice to the bar in this state for somebody
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: to come in here and say, well, I'm not placensed
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: to practice here, but your case will be handled by
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: a West Virginia lawyer. Well, boohoo, that may or may
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: not be true. That may or may not be true.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: You know, those ads can't be run in Florida. In
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Florida by law, if you're going to appear in an
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: ad and pitch law services, you have to be admitted
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: to and have an active practice of law in the
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: state of Florida. Now, why we don't adopt that, I
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: don't know. That's one thing that common sense. Yeah, that
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: makes common sense, maybe because it keeps people from being deceived.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: People from being deceived who don't who are up against it,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: they've got problems, they've suffered an injury, maybe they're not
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: attuned to the press, they don't live in our listing areas,
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: they know about us or other.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: And do you think sometimes people as far as being
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: deceived goes and not meaning that that the presentation is
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: necessarily deceitful. But people don't always understand and I realize
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: this from being in this business. They don't always understand locality.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: So they hear a commercial on the local station, it's
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: a local it's a local off firm, you know. I
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: mean they don't really know the difference that or whatever
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: it is, you know, they buy cars or who whatever
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: it is. I mean, there's different people that do that
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: on a national level, that represent themselves a lot of
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: times as local. And if you're not dowed into the industry,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: dowed into how things work or whatever, you could hear
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: commercial be like, oh okay, well that's you know, they
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: sell this in my area. There must be a local
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: business because I heard the commercial well.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: And there is an element of tacit deception in that regard.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Although I will admit that the M and MS do
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: have a little sign on Capitol Street now. It's in
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: about twelve point height. It's a tiny one. It's not
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: nearly as big as a sign on their building in
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Fort Myers or their building just south of Charleston, South Carolina.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: I'm sure any of the other buildings here in Florida
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: where they're based, or Georgia. But it is a little
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: signed and I think there are a couple of lawyers
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: in there who are quote retained by the people who
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: are not licensed to practice here who run the ads.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: So my advice to those who may be listening, if
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: you suffer a loss, look to a West Virginia based
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: actively practicing law firm. It may not be the Peyton
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Law Firm. It may be another one of the firms
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: that advertises quite heavily on television or radio. But you're
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: going to be better off and have a better experience,
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: in the experience that I have had dealing with clients
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: for over fifty years. If you stay here, period, we
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: understand the dynamic which other people don't. Period paragraph. So
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: that's my little rant on that subject. I saw that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: I just happened to see that pop up about Morgan
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: and Morgan I got, well, okay, that's just what you get.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: You get a bunch of people who are signed up
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: just to do cases in bulk, to get information, to
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: funnel it into a central clearinghouse somewhere down south and
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: have it spit back out, and you just take shortcuts
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: because that's what you're doing. You're trying to take a
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: shortcut to make a little money. And say, you look,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: use ai hallucination case law to try and support it. Now,
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: what's that going to do? To the client. I think
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: it's funny to laugh about Morgan and Morgan and they're
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: pompous guy strutting around off his private plane. And I'm
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: a poor person, you know, I just believe in Bologna.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Don't get me that. So I've seen a dozen of
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: those guys at these big deal conventions for trial lawyers.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: But what about the client? What about the plot person
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: who was injured, may be killed. I don't know the
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: nature of their injury by burned by a hoverboard that
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: burst into flames. What about them? I mean, they have
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: just now had their case setback, They're now out of
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: court with a judge you doesn't trust their lawyers?
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Something that really And maybe you can speak at a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: little bit more authoritatively on this because it's something that
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: I read and I think I understand the history of
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: like amicus briefs at the Supreme Court, and so sure
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: you can present an amicus brief with pretty much any
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: findings that you want to support your position. I think
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: this goes back to like women's suffrage in New York
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: or something like that, if I remember correctly. The problem
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: is in modernity there's these whole think tanks that will
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: foul amicus briefs. Nobody vets the information on these things
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: at all, and then the justices can use them. There's
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: been there's been like Thomas used a bunch of stuff
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: about gun law that was InCor wrecked, like absolutely not correct.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: The information that he was citing from an amicus brief
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: that wasn't right. How long is it going to be
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: until they're citing AI related stuff that they're just not checking.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Well, that's one of the issues. And it's always the
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: budgetary thing. You know, we're short. It's hard to believe,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: but actually the United States is short right now about
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: eighty five trial court level federal judges. I mean, wow,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: not necessarily here because the caseload here is not growing,
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: but in other places. I mean, this is a growing, dynamic,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: really complicated country one and one of the major features
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: of our country to the world at large is the
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: rule of law, the ability to get consistent, stable rulings,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: and prompt rulings. So if you're short judges, it means
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: you're short on staff. I mean, the courts do not
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: have to allow amicus briefs to be filed. You need
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: to ask the permission of the court to file an
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: amicus brief. Now that may involve vetting of that document
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: by a staff of law clerks. But if they're not there,
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: or if they're over work, or if there's a whole
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: deluge of amicus briefs amicus being friend friend of the court,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: things get lost and everybody tends to sort of drift
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: to that which is conforms with their mindset, right. I mean,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: everybody sees things in the light most favorable to himself.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: I said that about car wrecks. I mean I could
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: rear in somebody out here to stop lighting. At the
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: time I got home as well, they had the tail
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: I didn't work or you know, any numbers what it was.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: The sun blinded me and that happens. Of course, again,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure that this shake up is going to
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: affect the judiciary. I don't think it can constitutionally. That is, structurally,
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: under our constitutional setup, Whether the South African immigrant can
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: go over and camp himself out in front of the
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: Supreme Court to come in here and look at your
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: look at your case filings and see your notesment if,
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't think that would happen. But you never know.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: At this point, it's hard to tell us. Right, everything's happening.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: An AI algorithm ran on it. So if you were
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: nervous about those things before, welcome to the revolution.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: We'ch ff to keep in mind. I mean, I'm seventy
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: five years old and I've lived through the U the
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: polio epidemic which crippled to the cripples Wroard and impaired
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: two lawyers who one who's now deceased, Joe Thomas from
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Saint Albans Denny Vaughan from Saint Albans. I grew up
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: over there, you know, sort of idolized these older lawyers,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: both of them, Denny still Joe during his lifetime walk
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: with a limp, Charlie Cunningham as a lawyer and said,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: I was crippled by polio. The Morris Memorial Hospital, which
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: is now being converted into this Phoenician resort down near Milton,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: was an iron lung center for children who who lost
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: the ability to respiate because of polio. And I can
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: remember how happy my parents were when my sister and
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: I we went over to Fairview Grade School and went
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: in the.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Old as yeah, oh yeah, I was the hilltopper, were
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: you yeah, yeah, yeah, and sixth grade and.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: My dad with a great fair of view, and so
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: did I and my sister, and it ended up as
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: a title one school. It always was. It just changed
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: the brand to get a shot. I didn't want to
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: get a shot, and I probably misbehaved when I got
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: the shot, the polio vaccine, but it did how happy.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: And my mother was a nurse. She had seen these
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: kids coming in e murgency of the high temperature, aches
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: and pains, headache. They had been playing in the creek,
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: and all of a sudden it was polio, and you
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: just discharge them and they go to a center and
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: hopefully recover and with no more impairment than like Danny
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: or Joe had or Nancy, another lady I represented for years.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: She actually had a heart problem with evidence itself later
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: in life for late to polyumolitis and people just free.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: We have too much. We we have so much freedom
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: and so much material material poverty actually because we have
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: emotional prop poverty and spiritual poverty in this country that
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: runs deep. But we have a lot of a lot
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: of stuff, a lot of things, a lot of communication,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: and it's easy to forget. Well, why do I have
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: this little dime sized scar on my left shoulder? I
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: have that so your child and your grandchild will not
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: run the risk of suffering from smallpox, which was a
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: deadly killer before the smallpox vaccine. The smallpox vaccine came
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: on much earlier, after smallpox had decimated the frontier settlements
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: in the United States and the indigenous people we got.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: It's been essentially eradicated far from the face of the earth,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: but it'll come back because it's always there. And why
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: we have chosen this time, I think just because we
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: have too much people forget. Oh well, yeah, but let's
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: talk about freedom. Well, it's not freedom, it's simply a
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: lack of responsibility. I mean citizenship. And we talked last
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: week about birthright. Citizenship is a pact between you and
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: the nation of which you're a citizen. The nation says,
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: we have things to offer through good government, rule of law,
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: protect your freedoms, but your obligation is to be a
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: part of our society as we perceive it to be
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: and to help us defend it if necessary. It's not
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: a one way street. It's not like I can do
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: whatever I want to because I'm an American. No, you
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: can do what you want to, and so far as
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: it's consistent with the whole goal and aims of the country,
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: like we want to be a beacon to the entire world,
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: like Jack Kennedy said, We'll go anywhere, pay any price,
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: bear any burden, and feed children and help build sewer
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: systems and help tamp down sub Saharan African AIDS epidemics
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: because all of that will come back to haunt us
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: if we don't do it, and we're going to find
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: out about that unfortunately. Anyway. So the Peyton Law Firm,
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: getting back to the point the reason why I'm here,
• 35:24

  Speaker 5: do things that sort of are for the community good.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: If someone is maybe transferring a small business, or they
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: need some help with an estate, or they've got an
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: issue about well, so and so came on my land
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: and cut my timber. What can I do about that?
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: I can't get a response. I mean, those are the
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: sort of things that you can call us to ask about.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: And if you come to our office it's at twenty

• 37:18
  Speaker 5: that on these computers over here, we don't buy an

  Speaker 5: courts of this state. Period.
• 37:50
