Joe Tacopina | Defense Attorney Makes His Weekly Friday Morning S&FIM Appearance · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So let's go to Joseph right now, somewhere near Fort Bragg,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: if not in Fort Bragg on this Friday morning. Joseph,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: good morning, buddy.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: How are you? Good morning, brother. I'm pretty good considering,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: you know, you spend a night with a bunch of
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Army guys, particularly Special Forces and Special Ops and those
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: sorts of guys, and it gets rough. They like the bourbon.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy. They like bourbon. They really do.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Drink it like water, and then they get up at
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: 530 to do PT the next morning like nothing. So, yeah,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it was a great night because it celebrated one of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: our great heroes, literally generational heroes. It was also a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: bit of a sad night because the night should never
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: have been taking place not at this time, maybe in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: 10 years from now or later. You know, somewhere down
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the road, but certainly not this time, not one of
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the most crucial times in this country's military history. But
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it took place, and it was great. And, I mean,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that was a who's who of the United States Army
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: last night. I mean, every great general, General Miller, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: all these incredible ex-generals, ex-Delta Force guys. And then, of course,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you have generals like Pat Worth there and General Anderson,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: these great leaders who are still– hanging in there as
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: our army seems to be becoming a bit of a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: rudderless ship but you know here we.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Are here we are and uh donahue was uh he
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: called it quits last night he never should have like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you said and then your guy secretary driscoll he's about
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to resign the end of next week that uh is
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: another horrible move for the army based on people that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: i speak to especially you So Driscoll on his way out,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I meant to ask you this last time.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have anybody in mind who you'd like to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: think will place Driscoll?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's only one. There's only one. It's Mike Oberdahl.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Mike is currently the undersecretary, confirmed undersecretary, by the way,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of the United States Army. He's an obvious way to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: restore some continuity here. Mike Overdahl is one of our great,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: great heroes. He understands the institution. He understands modernization. Most importantly,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: he understands soldiers. So if Driscoll leaves, not everybody. when
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: he leaves next week, which is a done deal. You know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the only guy really to replace him is Mike Overdahl.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He was a pack helicopter pilot with Apache gunships. He
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: had multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a squadron commander for the Delta Force, and if you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: don't know what that means, that's the pinnacle of our
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Army right there. You know, he's married to a West
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Point grad, three sons, and most importantly, he is loved
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: by the troops. Mike Overdahl is... It really would be
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the only choice if we want to have any sense
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: of stability, calmness, continuity. And I think that should be
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the case. He will be the acting because he's the undersecretary.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But the president needs to restore some stability there immediately
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and really, really appoint him. Because right now, the United
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: States Army is becoming rudderless at precisely the moment America
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: can least afford it. We're fighting worse. We care for
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: next week literally without him. a Senate-confirmed Chief of Staff,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and a Senate-confirmed Army Secretary. That's not a personnel problem.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That's a national security problem in my mind. So we
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: have to make some moves here.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: No, I agree. You know, you mentioned the Army Secretary,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and you and I have a dear, dear friend in common,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and he happens to own the Florida Panthers and a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: couple of racehorses that won the Kentucky Derby, one of his,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Golden Temple, and the Belmont this year. His name is
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Vinnie Viola. And people may not know this, but back
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in 2016, Vinnie's a New York guy, a Brooklyn guy, Williamsburg,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: President Trump offered Vinny the Army, the Secretary of Army position.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Vinny's a big-time West Point grad and well-respected, beloved. Now,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Vinny turned it down because he's got 19 other businesses
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to run, but he was, you know, honored, obviously, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: very respectful in turning it down. But Vinny was offered
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that position, which is a huge honor. Shows you what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: kind of guy Vinny is. But you just mentioned the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: guy now the Wall Street Journal is reporting. He also,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: like Driscoll, will be stepping down at the end of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the year. What's that all about?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You know, again, I'm going back to the instability at
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the top of the United States Army and at the military.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And again, I'll go back to Pete. You know, you
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: know how I feel about him. You know, I feel
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: about what he's done as far as a leadership voice
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to me. it's inexplicable. And I'm telling you the guys
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in the know, and I'm in the know, like what
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it's so, but the guys in the know, you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I'm the United States army ambassador. Okay. That's my, my title,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: my role, but, but the guys who are there in the,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in the fields and, and, in the war, on the grounds,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and at the bases every single day, the morale is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: really being drained a bit, brother. It's being drained. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: that's the part, look, that we need to stop having
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: happen to us. We're losing generational talents. We don't replace
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: General Donahue overnight. You just can't do it. Fortunately, we
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: have General Norrie who stepped in for it. General Norrie
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: is a great, great general. You have General Pat Warwick
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: who's really the disciple of General Donahue. Pat Warwick is...
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: He's revered and loved. General Anderson, who's the 18th Airborne
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Corps commander. I mean, you have some all-time greats still
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in there, but we're losing them. And our enemies, Sid,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: do not care about Washington politics or Pentagon infighting. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: enemy cares whether the United States Army is ready to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: fight tonight. So leadership vacancies at the top of the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Army in wartime, to me, are unacceptable. And here we are.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So we need to— this needs to be taken— the president needs
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to step right in.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I think he will. We've got a lot going on.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That's not an excuse. I love when people tell me, yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're busy. I don't want to hear it, okay? You've
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: got to prioritize certain things, right? Everybody's busy. Everybody's busy.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But you prioritize, okay? What's most important? And in this
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: case— with the president, Pete Hexeth. Does Hexeth know that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you go on this show and other shows? And you're right. No,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. You're right. You know, you're not lying. You're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: not talking out of line. You're giving out facts. But
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: does he know that you're pretty critical of him? I,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know, never had a chat with him about it
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and don't know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And if he wants to have a chat, I'd be
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: more than happy to. I'd say the same thing to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: his face that I'm saying on this radio show. As
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I've said on this radio show for months because I'm
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: seeing what's happening inside our army. I love our army.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I love our soldiers. I love our troops. I love
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: our country. And I do not... want to see in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: military nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. It doesn't belong here. Yeah, it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: all over corporate America. That's fine. That's part of our lives, right? Oh,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: your buddy's son wants a job, whatever. Oh, the son
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of the CEO gets a job.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Not here. Not here. Because people die when we have favoritism, cronyism,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: or nepotism here. And so it just has to stop.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he listens or doesn't listen. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: if it affects my standing, so be it. I will
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: always speak my mind and the truth. I don't take
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: any pleasure in saying this. I don't have a personal...
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: like for Pete Hicks as a person. I don't know him,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: but I do know him as a leader, what he's done.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, the people that were speaking last
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: night and as the night went on and the bourbon
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: continued to flow, people were very open about.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: How they felt. Why do you think then that President
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Trump has continuously, time and time again, even very recently,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: defended Pete Hicks and kept him in that position?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: That's one of those unanswered questions. I can't speak for
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the president. I don't know what's in his mind when
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it comes to that. He's a loyal guy, right? When
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: he thinks someone's loyal to him, he gives it back.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I think that's a large part of it. Pete Hegseth
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: will do what the president wants, speaks the language he
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: wants him to speak, and so on and so forth.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: But by all accounts, I know firsthand that there's been
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a little ruffling of the feathers of late between the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: president and Hegseth because of the information that the president's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: been given about our munitions being so low that the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: president did not know about, but he could only rely
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: on what his people are telling him. And, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: there was some backlash against Texas. But, you know, again,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we have to see where this goes. I don't care
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: who's the person. I just care about the role and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the title and the position being operated in accordance with
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: our needs as in the United States Army, as the military.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And that's it. That's all I care about. But we
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: still have some greats. Again, Mike Overdahl is still there.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: You know, you have general work. You have general leadership. Anderson,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: all these guys, General Norrie, there's Mike Weimer, the Sergeant
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Major of the Army, an unbelievable leader. So they're still there,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: but we're losing our best. By the week, by the week,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was another guy who just retired, another general,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: La Camera. He just retired. He was a four-star general.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, these people are not easy to replace.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time with him last night,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: General Paul La Camera, four-star. He left the last year
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and a half. I mean, you can't, you know, you just,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: these guys, you don't replace them and that easily. And
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we have to be careful. That's all I'm saying. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the morale needs to be paid attention to because soldiers
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: need to have the will, the desire, and the belief
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that our administrators are behind them a hundred percent.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I'll get any of that. I got to tell you,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we're on twice this week. Is he so damn good?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Joe Takapino. Great on Monday. Great on Monday. And this
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: was amazing information. Not good. which only a certain amount
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of people can get, and you're one of those people.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: But I can't let you go. I can't, even though
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: this is great already, without asking about the biggest trial
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in the country, in the world today, and that is
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy. We did speak about this on Monday as well.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I told you. I think what she did was evil.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure she is evil. That's up for debate.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: But I do think what she did was evil. Now
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: they're saying today that with the verdict in the hands
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of the jury, that there could be any one of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: five different verdicts in this trial.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Five.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Manslaughter's in there. Murder one, murder two.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what else.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So how really, how complex has this case, Takapina, turned
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: out to be?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Incredibly complex because it's not just a whodunit, it's a why.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Right, there's no whodunit. She admitted she did it. She
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: admitted she killed the kids.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Right, so then you now have to unbuckle all these
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: sort of experts and their testimony and who's more credible.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: One expert says something, another says something else. And then
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: there's the common sense factor. You know, I always remind
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: jurors when I speak to them, I say, you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, there is no such thing as jury school, okay?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You don't need any special skill set to be here.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: All you need is your God-given common sense. And to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: be fair and impartial. Don't come in here with any
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: biases or motives or leaning one way or another. Just
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: be open-minded, God-given common sense, follow the law and follow
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the facts, and you'll do okay, ladies and gentlemen. Because
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: jurors are nervous that they don't know how to do
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: this stuff. There's nothing to it. But this case is complex.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: There are five different potential words, but actually there are
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: six different outcomes, potential outcomes, right? Because you have to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: also throw a hung jury in there. That's a sixth
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: potential outcome. But the five different potential, it's a first
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: degree murder, right? That's the top dog there. That's under
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a deliberate premeditation. But there's an element of extreme atrocity
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: or cruelty. OK, that's life in prison without parole. That's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: first degree murder. Second degree murder, which is still murder.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: You know, they have to find a criminal responsible for
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the murder, but doesn't find the element of first degree murder.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: That would be the cruelty or atrocity element. That can
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: be life in prison, but there is the possibility of parole.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Then you go down the pecking order. Then there's manslaughter, right?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It's basically essentially the compromised criminal verdict manslaughter in any
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: homicide case. So, yes, she was criminally responsible, but the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: culpability did not rise to murder. And that's 20 years
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: max on each count. The judge could also run them consecutively,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: which for all intents and purposes becomes life. Then you
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: have not. Here's the one that I think is going
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to be the one. Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the verdict sheet, right? So not guilty
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: by lack of criminal responsibility is basically the insanity verdict
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: in Massachusetts, okay? That's the key question, whether because of
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: mental disease or defect was she unable to appreciate the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: wrongfulness of what she was doing or able to conform
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: her conduct to the law. So she doesn't get to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: walk away. She just gets committed to a state psychiatric
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: hospital facility. And then, of course, it's not guilty. That's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: never happening. That's just straight. It will go home. You know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you're not guilty. I ain't happening.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Right. But I do think the not guilty by lack
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of criminal responsibility is the one.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: So do I.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I had it. That's where I go. It's not a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: walk away, right?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, the only thing, the only thing is, is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that's what they do too.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And I think that would be the fairest outcome. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: really do. The only thing I have to say to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you is where folks get upset is, but yeah, but Sid,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: she actually asked her husband to leave the house because Right?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Go pick up this. Go pick up that. Because she
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: knew once he left the house, she can kill the kids.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't like she's sitting there and she just
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: goes nuts. Right? So to a certain extent, that's a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: little planned. A little. Or no.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can plan and still be... Insane. You can
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: plan and still have an insanity defense or a verdict
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of this type. I mean, you can do it. Not
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, because if you believe
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the expert of the defense, that Dr. Resnick, who by
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: all accounts and reports, and I didn't watch every second
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: of the testimony of other things to do, but I
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: read that he was very good. And what he testified
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: to was that she was experiencing these things called command hallucinations, right?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And a delusion of influence. So command hallucinations, like someone's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: telling you to do something and whatnot. Now, look, we
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: don't know. We can't get inside someone's brain. You know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: it sounds weird. Like the son of Sam. Remember the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: son of Sam when we were kids?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: The dog told him to do that. That's right. That's right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And again, just last week, we brought this up on Monday.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: This young man in Pennsylvania. who killed this beautiful young
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: girl on her way to Pennsylvania University on a soccer scholarship.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: He said he heard demons, but he had way too
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: much planning. Way too much.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: But yet he also got mad at her because she
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: said something. Right. I mean, I heard demons is a
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: great line in there when you have no defense at all.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: You got caught red-handed.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: You're disposing of the body, disposing of the evidence. You
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: call mommy to help. You know, you had a motive
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: because you got angry. You lost your mind. And you
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: did some horrible, disgusting, and despicable. So what are you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: going to say? Self-defense? She was scaring me? No. You're
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: going to say, oh, I heard demons. Okay. Bingo. So
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: now we have insanity. So the problem with that is
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: it has to actually develop. forensically. It has to develop
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: by a medical doctor who's going to evaluate that. Anyone
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: could just say, I heard demons. There's got to be
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: outside corroborating proof that there really was something mentally off there. Here,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I think you have plenty of it, right? I just
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: think you have plenty of it. Because The state, the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Commonwealth has to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And remember, that is a massive hurdle in our system.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: So you could think that maybe maybe she was criminally responsible.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: You could think I'm probably certain she was criminally responsible.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe and probably certain in the criminal justice system equals
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: not guilty. Right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Guilty. So remember that. So even if we think, oh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: come on. That's not enough. I mean, they have to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt. And that's any
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: doubt based on reason. If you have one of those,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: not guilty of that count anyway.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Joe Tacopini, the absolute best. What an amazing appearance today
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: between the Army stuff and Lindsey Clancy. God, I love
• 15:58

• 16:00

• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You are the best. How great was that? Joseph Tacopini
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: on the Army and Lindsey Clancy. That's my guy. Going
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: on 49 years. Two of us in the polyglot... the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: old poly prep annual yearbook. You've heard this a million
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: times before. You're going to hear it again. Two of us,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it was either the sixth or seventh grade. I forget
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: exactly which one. Danny Pagliano may know. Gary Hanna may know.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: We were voted, Takapina and Rosenberg, the two least likely,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: least likely to succeed. And now he's the best defense
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: attorney in the world. and I'm the best radio voice
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: in the world.
