00:00Thank you, sir.
00:04Sir, you've taken action against a number of law firms that have, in one way or another,
00:08been involved in the weaponization of government or actions of lawfare.
00:12One of those law firms is Sussman-Godfrey, similar to what we've done previously with other law firms.
00:18This is an executive order that takes certain measures against Sussman-Godfrey
00:21to ensure that they can't access government resources, government buildings,
00:26scrutinizing certain aspects of their practices as a law firm, given their previous activities.
00:38We signed with many law firms, the ones that we thought were inappropriate,
00:45and they've all agreed to pay $100, let's say $1 million.
00:52They went for some pretty big numbers.
00:58I guess we have a total.
00:59What do we have?
00:59What's the total about?
01:01What's the total right now, Steve, about, would you say?
01:04Getting close to probably $600, $700 million now, I would think.
01:08We've multiplied at $100 million, some at $125 million.
01:12So the numbers are adding up.
01:13We're going to be close to $1 billion soon.
01:15One at $40 million.
01:17$40 million.
01:18Millions of dollars an hour.
01:24But they don't admit guilt.
01:25Remember that.
01:26They don't admit guilt.
01:27But then we have another five to go, I think, five of them.
01:31Yes.
01:31And this one is just, we're just starting a process with this one.
01:34Yes, sir.
01:35All right?
01:35Because there were some very bad things that happened with these law firms.
01:40And this firm is very involved in the election misconduct.
01:43Weren't they all involved in the election misconduct?
01:48I think they were all involved.
01:49Yes.
01:50Anyway, so they went from $40 million to $125 million.
01:57And most of them are at about $100 million, right?
02:00All right.
02:11Thank you, sir.
02:12Thank you, sir.
02:13Thank you, sir.
