00:24:41,270 --> 00:24:43,789
- May I help you, Ms. Starkey?
- Oh, so polite.
530
00:24:43,794 --> 00:24:48,219
Uh, yes, uh, you may help me
by answering a few questions.
531
00:24:48,224 --> 00:24:50,204
Uh, and I won't take up
too much of your time.
532
00:24:50,209 --> 00:24:52,663
- Seems like a bad day.
- Presidential transition,
533
00:24:52,668 --> 00:24:53,935
a lot of people are being let go.
534
00:24:53,939 --> 00:24:56,149
Uh, I'm so sorry. But not you, though?
535
00:24:56,154 --> 00:24:58,978
Not yet. Unless that's why you're here.
536
00:24:58,983 --> 00:25:00,345
Oh. No, no, no, no.
537
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:01,563
I'm the deep state.
538
00:25:01,568 --> 00:25:04,602
We don't do anything
meaningful. [CHUCKLES]
539
00:25:06,251 --> 00:25:08,645
Mm. I spoke to a friend
of yours, Dylan Pike.
540
00:25:10,821 --> 00:25:15,342
He said you trained him in the
use of AR-15s, nine millimeters,
541
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:17,393
how to buy ammunition in bulk.
542
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:21,692
We covered a bunch of
subjects in his group.
543
00:25:21,697 --> 00:25:23,281
So it wasn't just a one-on-one.
544
00:25:23,286 --> 00:25:24,847
It was a small group of veterans.
545
00:25:24,852 --> 00:25:27,223
I believe this group was five veterans.
546
00:25:27,228 --> 00:25:28,921
You wouldn't happen
to remember the names
547
00:25:28,926 --> 00:25:31,576
of the other four individuals
who trained with Mr. Pike?
548
00:25:31,581 --> 00:25:34,592
This would be sometime prior
to the January events, uh,
549
00:25:34,597 --> 00:25:36,181
at the Capitol.
550
00:25:40,633 --> 00:25:42,940
Could you provide me with those names?
551
00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:46,460
No.
552
00:25:46,465 --> 00:25:47,896
Sorry. Can't.
553
00:25:47,901 --> 00:25:50,121
You can't? Or you won't?
554
00:25:54,665 --> 00:25:57,702
You have a very calm manner.
555
00:25:57,707 --> 00:26:00,300
I should be calm, but
I'm unnerved. [LAUGHS]
556
00:26:00,305 --> 00:26:02,402
Anything else, Ms. Starkey?
557
00:26:02,407 --> 00:26:04,217
No. No, no, not right now.
558
00:26:04,222 --> 00:26:06,616
But pretty soon. We'll be in touch.
559
00:26:13,487 --> 00:26:16,877
You've been a managing editor
for how long, Mr. Hookstratten?
560
00:26:16,882 --> 00:26:18,740
Twenty-three years. I was a reporter
561
00:26:18,745 --> 00:26:19,747
for ten years before that.
562
00:26:19,751 --> 00:26:21,226
And you were aware, were you not,
563
00:26:21,231 --> 00:26:24,045
of this story that was
circulating on social media
564
00:26:24,050 --> 00:26:27,366
about a bike shop owner
grooming school children
565
00:26:27,371 --> 00:26:29,571
- for sexual exploitation.
- I was aware of it, yes.
566
00:26:29,576 --> 00:26:31,963
Why didn't your newspaper
cover the story?
567
00:26:31,968 --> 00:26:34,634
It... It seems like it was
newsworthy, right?
568
00:26:34,639 --> 00:26:37,168
- If it were true, yes.
- How do you know it wasn't?
569
00:26:37,173 --> 00:26:39,583
Because I spent two weeks
running down the rumors.
570
00:26:39,588 --> 00:26:41,410
In the case of this story,
there was nothing,
571
00:26:41,415 --> 00:26:42,815
just a lot of gossip online.
572
00:26:42,820 --> 00:26:45,621
Now, what kind of financial
shape of your newspaper
573
00:26:45,626 --> 00:26:48,609
at the time that you decided
not to run the story?
574
00:26:48,614 --> 00:26:51,917
Your Honor, I'm sorry,
but I have to object there.
575
00:26:51,922 --> 00:26:52,997
Relevance.
576
00:26:53,002 --> 00:26:56,474
The financial impact of
Section 230's exemption
577
00:26:56,479 --> 00:26:59,446
- on newspapers is directly relevant.
- Overruled.
578
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:01,141
HOOKSTRATTEN: We were
broke and getting broker.
579
00:27:01,145 --> 00:27:02,459
The advertisers we'd counted on
580
00:27:02,464 --> 00:27:04,270
had mostly gone over to the Internet.
581
00:27:04,674 --> 00:27:06,845
It was only a matter of time
before we wouldn't be able
582
00:27:06,850 --> 00:27:08,220
to keep the lights on anymore.
583
00:27:08,225 --> 00:27:10,244
Six months ago, that time came.
584
00:27:10,249 --> 00:27:11,816
Your witness.
585
00:27:13,983 --> 00:27:17,063
Classified ads were a big source
of revenue for newspapers
586
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:18,466
- at one time. Is that right?
- They were.
587
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:22,034
I imagine those being a thing
of the past contributed to that.
588
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:23,715
- It did.
- What about cable news networks?
589
00:27:23,719 --> 00:27:24,986
- That have an impact?
- Objection, Your Honor.
590
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:27,672
We are not litigating over
cable news or classified ads.
591
00:27:27,677 --> 00:27:30,477
That's right. We're litigating
over your untested theory
592
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,914
that newspapers went bankrupt
because social media
593
00:27:32,919 --> 00:27:35,569
has a government-sanctioned
advantage in the marketplace.
594
00:27:35,574 --> 00:27:39,020
We should, Your Honor, at the
very least, test this theory.
595
00:27:39,025 --> 00:27:41,327
Agreed. Overruled.
596
00:27:41,332 --> 00:27:43,203
ZSCHAU: Is it possible,
Mr. Hookstratten,
597
00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:46,450
that the reason these
newspapers went bankrupt
598
00:27:46,455 --> 00:27:47,786
is no more complicated
599
00:27:47,791 --> 00:27:49,632
than they didn't keep up
with their competition?
600
00:27:49,636 --> 00:27:53,449
- That's one reason.
- Thank you for not contesting the obvious.
601
00:27:56,290 --> 00:27:58,075
Mr. Hookstratten...
602
00:27:59,555 --> 00:28:01,926
... didn't your newspaper
conduct this survey
603
00:28:01,931 --> 00:28:04,916
- of where readers were now getting their news?
- Yes.
604
00:28:04,921 --> 00:28:07,000
And what were the top four sources?
605
00:28:07,005 --> 00:28:09,642
Facebook, Twitter, Google, Chumhum.
606
00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:13,259
None of which can be sued for
defamation, libel, or fraud.
607
00:28:13,264 --> 00:28:15,809
Now, do you think that
enters in to what stories
608
00:28:15,814 --> 00:28:18,873
you do run, and what
stories you do not run?
609
00:28:18,878 --> 00:28:21,310
It's always hanging over your head.
610
00:28:21,315 --> 00:28:23,996
Gawker was sued out of existence
611
00:28:24,001 --> 00:28:25,750
by someone who wanted them shut down.
612
00:28:25,755 --> 00:28:29,057
That can happen to a
newspaper or a website.
613
00:28:29,062 --> 00:28:31,804
It can't happen to Facebook.
614
00:28:41,579 --> 00:28:43,663
Oh, I forgot you were in here.
615
00:28:43,668 --> 00:28:45,291
Yeah. You don't need
to do those anymore.
616
00:28:45,296 --> 00:28:47,298
We're suing Chumhum now.

Ah!

Five-minute recess.

Don't touch these props, please.
624
00:29:23,508 --> 00:29:25,257
I want to do both.
625
00:29:25,262 --> 00:29:27,986
I want to clerk here, and I want
to work at Reddick/Lockhart.
626
00:29:27,991 --> 00:29:29,640
How many hours can you give me?
627
00:29:29,645 --> 00:29:31,032
What do you need me to do?
628
00:29:31,037 --> 00:29:32,356
Well...
629
00:29:32,361 --> 00:29:34,488
My copyright certificates are...
630
00:29:34,493 --> 00:29:37,186
are catching on with the
fan fiction crowd, and...
631
00:29:37,191 --> 00:29:39,629
I need you to process them.
632
00:29:40,686 --> 00:29:42,509
MARISSA: How much are
you charging for these?
633
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:44,861
I checked what the Writers Guild
charged for script registration.
634
00:29:44,865 --> 00:29:46,265
- 20 bucks.
- You're kidding.
635
00:29:46,270 --> 00:29:48,664
- And how many have you sold?
- 412.
636
00:29:49,434 --> 00:29:50,635
- What?
- I know.
637
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,114
It spread online.
638
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:54,260
But these don't mean anything.
639
00:29:54,265 --> 00:29:55,566
They're just pieces of paper.
640
00:29:55,571 --> 00:29:57,071
What do you think US copyright is?
641
00:29:57,076 --> 00:30:00,148
Mine is at least good for 71 years.
642
00:30:00,153 --> 00:30:01,489
That's a year more than US.
643
00:30:01,494 --> 00:30:04,161
Okay, but a plagiarist
can still steal a work.
644
00:30:04,166 --> 00:30:05,732
They can do that with the US copyright.
645
00:30:05,737 --> 00:30:08,026
They just get sued in court,
like they would in my court.
646
00:30:08,031 --> 00:30:09,244
Oh, my God.
647
00:30:09,249 --> 00:30:12,552

I want your advice on cases.

I want to bounce legal theories off you.
652
00:30:19,659 --> 00:30:21,482
What are your legal theories?
653
00:30:21,487 --> 00:30:24,395
I don't know. That's why
I need to bounce them.
654
00:30:27,398 --> 00:30:30,657
Okay. I can give you
from noon to 2:00 pm,

Some reason you're sitting in the dark?
663
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:52,541
No.
664
00:30:56,427 --> 00:30:59,294
You want me to come and sit with you?
665
00:30:59,299 --> 00:31:01,911
I got a visit from the FBI today.
666
00:31:05,610 --> 00:31:07,738
Uh, about what?
667
00:31:07,743 --> 00:31:11,268
About the guy I took shooting,
the one in the Wanted poster.
668
00:31:14,358 --> 00:31:17,399
- And what did you tell them?
- Nothing.
669
00:31:17,404 --> 00:31:19,650
This agent wanted me to give her names
670
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:21,670
of the other veterans I took shooting.
671
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:25,712
Okay, Kurt, listen to me. I...
672
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:29,455
I'm your wife, which means
that anything you tell me
673
00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:32,376
is privileged communication. So...
674
00:31:33,812 --> 00:31:37,550
This is not the time to be
the taciturn mountain man.
675
00:31:37,555 --> 00:31:40,801
Just tell me. Tell me everything.
676
00:31:40,806 --> 00:31:42,555
About?
677
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,301
Who did you take shooting?
678
00:31:45,650 --> 00:31:47,312
Veterans with PTSD.
679
00:31:47,317 --> 00:31:50,084
I volunteer to shoot
with them on Saturdays.
680
00:31:50,089 --> 00:31:51,751
They're not criminals.
681
00:31:51,756 --> 00:31:54,833
Then just give the FBI
their names and explain that.
682
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,453
One of these veterans
said he was going to D.C.
683
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:00,194
and he wanted a tour of the Capitol.
684
00:32:00,199 --> 00:32:03,159
I called the congressional
office to arrange it.
685
00:32:06,323 --> 00:32:08,189
When was this?
686
00:32:08,194 --> 00:32:10,022
On January 5.
687
00:32:15,375 --> 00:32:17,726
Which congressperson?
688
00:32:18,509 --> 00:32:19,810
I'm not gonna say.
689
00:32:19,815 --> 00:32:22,731
Kurt, I can't tell anyone.
690
00:32:32,915 --> 00:32:34,394
I'm not gonna say.
691
00:32:39,008 --> 00:32:40,700
Okay.
692
00:32:40,705 --> 00:32:43,037
You're not gonna talk to the feds again.
693
00:32:43,042 --> 00:32:45,226
I-I am going to talk to them.
694
00:32:45,231 --> 00:32:47,968
You think I'm in trouble?
695
00:32:47,973 --> 00:32:51,489
Yes. I think you're a Trump official
696
00:32:51,494 --> 00:32:54,048
who trained an insurrectionist
in firearms.
697
00:32:54,053 --> 00:32:55,310
I didn't train...
698
00:32:55,315 --> 00:32:57,748
And then arranged
699
00:32:57,753 --> 00:32:59,668
for them to scout the Capitol.
700
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:04,033
I think that's the
definition of trouble.
701
00:33:05,730 --> 00:33:08,380
So here's where I come in.
