do you need this -- >> no. >> so you heard him say the word assholes, right? >> yes. >> on the tape? >> yes. >> and you heard him talk for years now, correct? >> that's correct. >> did that word, the way he said assholes, did that give you a sense that he was acting with spite or ill will or hatred in that sense? >> no. >> did that seem to be -- just an offhand way of talking about whoever it was he was talking about? >> yes. >> knowing as you do george's voice throughout the years, did you even -- by the way, the second tyime, did you hear him say the expletive repeated? >> i didn't hear that, no. >> even the second time you were answering it, you were saying generally that's george zimmerman's voice? >> correct. >> but you [ muted ] -- >> i didn't hear that. >> okay. even turned up as loud as he could [ muted ]. in everything that you heard him say on that tape, was there anything in george's voice that gave you the impression that he was angry or acting with ill will, spite or hatred on that phone call? >> no. >> so since you've never heard him scream like

and he called him an asshole. he didn't call him an asshole. but he said these assholes. that group of people who in the past have gotten away. so he called. and he spoke ton t the dispatch. and he went through it. so looking at the question of whether or not my client is completely innocent, provably innocent, what did he do? stayed on the phone. cursed. well, yeah, he definitely cursed. and he cursed towards those people -- maybe including trayvon martin by the way -- at lead to him maybe, because he did match the description unfortunately. and that's just maybe happenstance. we'll talk more about that too. so calls it in. and stays on the phone. like he's supposed to. does what he's supposed to. describe him. think he's black. have to be asked. black, white, hispanic. so where is the -- how do we move from i'm looking at a suspicious guy that i'm not sure, it's raining out, he's obviously not coming in the main entrances. maybe that's an issue. when you look at those reports, you'll see there are ingress or egress points. at least there used to be. where some people do

these assholes, they always get away. yep. when you come to the clubhouse, you come straight in. and then go left. actually, you go past the clubhouse. >> you say it's on the left-hand side from the clubhouse? >> no, you go in, straight through the entrance. and then you -- >> which way is he -- which entrance is it he's heading towards? >> the back entrance. >> are you following him? >> yeah. >> okay, we don't need you to do that, okay? >> okay. >> all right, what is your name? >> george. >> all right, george, what's your last name? >> zimmerman. >> and george, what's the phone number you're calling from? >> 407-435-2400. >> all right, george, we have them on the way, do you want to meet with the officer when they get out there? >> yeah. >> all right, where are you going to be? >> there's a -- as you come in through the gate, tell them to go straight past the clubhouse. and then straight past the clubhouse and then make a left and then you go past the mailboxes, there's my truck. >> what address are you parked in front of? >> i don't know. it's a cut through, so i don't know the

"hey asshole, you sent this to my 9-year-old daughter." ooh. naturally, i replied "sorry." because i know when a line has been crossed. but then he said -- -- "[bleep] off!" so, i wrote back -- -- "why does your 9-year-old daughter have a phone? that's bad parenting." now it's time to say goodnight, but before i go i will leave you with one question, "where's daniel?" from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is the "daily show" with jon stewart. ( cheers and appla captioning sponsored by comedy central >> john: welcome to the "daily show." i'm john oliver. jon stewart, jon stewart, i'm afraid, is still not here. word is that he has been kidnapped and trapped in a cave in the middle east constructing his own iron man suit.

ultimately advocating a similar approach in syria want to discuss that our knowledge joined by an asshole to critique president of the cordoba foundation mr altikriti i really appreciate your being here now my first question may sound provocative but i find much of the pro-democracy and anti aside the rhetoric really similar to what we heard from george w. bush about a decade ago people like yourself who at least at some point for in support of armed rebellion argued that since assad is a dictator or syria would be a better place without human therefore all the measures to get rid of him are somehow justified even if it is a war and to me that is the very aston's of the bush's case to launch a war in iraq there are some stark differences to start off with between iraq and between syria and iraq there was no revolution in iraq there was a war that was instigated by the push of interest strategic financial. whatever it may be at the time that led tony blair and george w. bush to launch a war which i felt and i at the time was one of the leaders of the end to a movement ok what's the differe

your right ultimately advocating a similar approach in syria to discuss that i'm now joined by an asshole to critique president of the cordoba foundation mr al-tikriti i really appreciate your being here now my first question may sound provocative but i find much of the pro-democracy and anti assad rhetoric really similar to what we heard from george w. bush about a decade ago people like yourself who at least at some point for in support of armed rebellion argue that since assad is a dictator or syria would be a better place without human therefore all the measures to get rid of him are somehow justified even if it is a war and to me that is the very asons of the bush's case to launch a war in iraq there are some stark differences. between iraq and between syria and iraq there was no revolution in iraq the.

the authenticity and the integrity, but the moroccan guy at the next table is, like, wait a minute, assholet home. i want one, too. what is wrong with that? >> there are people here who probably have never heard of -- if you follow that, there's no progression, no progress, no change. >> the think about cafe baba, just sitting here, taking in the atmosphere, you begin to appreciate the place. >> there's something different happening here. >> contact high, whoa, i'm hungry. wait until the spanish tortilla dude across the street opens for business. this is abdileh. he specializes in one thing, and he makes it well. an omelet. it's like a spanish tortilla. but like stonier. the potatoes are boiled, diced, meat with beaten eggs and cooked in a cast iron skillet. oh, yeah. the eggs. the egg man. i am me and we are you and where is my omelet, dude, because i am hungry. >> one, two, three? >> abdileh is waiting for you when you come stumbling out of cafe baba. coincidence or not? you be the judge. >> ketchup and mayonnaise. everything. >> ketchup and mayonnaise? sure. why not? condiment options i

it's not as if there is a shortage of young conservative assholes. >> give me five right now. >> cenkon that, you meant ear holes. more nsa spying, and it turns out it might be worse than what we thought. we'll give you details when we come back. >> cenk: you the spy something worse than we might have imagined, especially because of all the private contractors that have access to our data. what kind of data? let's let glen explain. >> all the analysts have to do is enter an e-mail or ip address, it liste searches the database and everything that that has been stored and will alert them to any further activity that anybody connected with e-mail address or ip address. it's all done without going to the court or supervisor approval on the part of the analyst. >> cenk: all right, that sound pretty bad, of course, some of the establishment republicans are saying no, nonsense. and chantedless said, i would be shocked, shocked, i say. i look forward to him being shocked. >> it's really hard to go without surveillance. you basically have to be a tinfoil hat paranoia act and make all of your d

just let me know if there's anything else. [ muted ] >> these assholes. [ muted ] >> do you recall playinghat recording for the defendant and asking him about that? do you recall questioning him about that? >> i -- yes, sir, i pointed it out to him. >> and he made reference to when he made -- [ muted ] >> told me not to follow them. and i wasn't following them, i was just -- >> so basically you were off -- >> right. i was on the other side. >> you were questioning him, pointing out an inconsistency, were you not, that the defendant was claiming he was not following him and you were telling him that's following him, correct? do you recall saying that? >> yes, sir. >> running, getting out of my car to make sure i don't lose sight of this guy. that's what it sounds like. are you following him? that's what it sounds like you're doing. that's why he asked you the question. it souned to the dispatcher like you were running and that's why he asked you that question, are you following him, and your answer is yes, okay. but then you get to the other side and you're concerned about this guy when you

to quote the defendant and pardon my language, it was one of those assholes that get away.ld submit that he uttered it under his breath. and that itself indicates ill will or hatred. he was speaking to the 911 or nonemergency person. but what he was doing was verbalizing what he was thinking. and that's why that's important. because in his mind, he already assumed certain things. that trayvon martin wasn't going to get away this time. the prior calls brought in five, i think defense another one six within the last five or six mont months, he was sick and tired of it. but the law doesn't say, okay, take the law in your own hands. okay, i'm sorry, i've got the wrong guy. i'm so sorry, i thought he was a criminal. mr. martin, tracy martin, i'm so sorry, i made a mistake, i didn't realize that

. >> did you hear him refer to the person he ended up shooting, trayvon martin, as an asshole? >> i do know that, yes. >> so the term -- >> i think that people like to give too much weight. if you look at it in the con e text in which it was stated, his reference in that statement was addressing his -- clearly addressing his frustration from previous calls in which the individuals got away. his verbiage chosen may not be the most appropriate but i don't necessarily mean just because somebody has said that means they mean ill will. >> but the target of his frustration, you understand, was trayvon martin. >> owe would have to say the comment, in my opinion, the comment, that frustration was being voiced at the fact he's made numerous calls. the fact that he -- i mean the other alternative is to go, wow, these fellows always get away. i don't know what his general speech pattern is like in regards to how he refers to everybody else. in and of itself, i don't see that variable as showing ill will. >> let me ask you, you had a conversation with the defendant, did you not? >> i did.

assholes. really? is that the way he said it? one piece of evidence that my client attacked trayvon martin landed one blow, for that matter. did anything to justify in any form or fashion the onslaught of injury perpetrated upon him by no one other than trayvon martin. he actually had something else because george zimmerman was, in fact, armed with a firearm and we know that. we know he had the right to have it and then it was said -- how many times was it said that trayvon martin wasn't armed? now, i'll be held in contempt if i drop this. so i'm not going to do some drama and drop it on the floor and watch it roll around. but that's cement. that is a sidewalk. and that is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but skilli skittles trying to get home. that was somebody who used the availability of dangerous items from his fist to the concrete to cause great bodily injury. not that it was necessary for self-defense, but great bodily injury against george zimmerman and the suggestion by the state that that is not a weapon, that that c

martin, how else do you describe somebody who on tape tells authorities these f-ing punks, these assholes always getting away with it. who is he doing but profiling trayvon martin as a bad guy that needs to be dealt with? >> that's absolutely right. here is the thing and you've nailed in this and we have talked about it. there is a pathway to manslaughter. if you look at the totality of george zimmerman's actions undisputed. he got out of a car. he followed a kid on a ryan knee dark night. he had a concealed weapon and didn't identify himself as neighborhood watch. but here is the reason why i was shaking my head. under the law, which you both know, you can even' the aggressor in a confrontation regain your innocence and claim self-defense successfully, and i think based on the evidence that's been presented, a jury would have a very hard time -- >> okay. let me bring in tom -- let me bring in tom because what the florida legal people i've spoken to, tom, told me repeatedly is that that is the crucial thing. it doesn't matter in terms of zimmerman getting out of the car, walking, checking

in his conversation with you, did he say the word asshole? >> i don't recall if, at some point, it came up during the conversations about that tape, but as far as the context being used to me, he did not call me that. >> all right. and did i understand you say that the most important factor about the safety of any firearm is the responsibility of the user? >> sure. >> so an irresponsible person can be really, really dangerous? >> absolutely. any person that is reckless with their firearm can be dangerous, sure. >> i want to talk for a moment about your connection with this case. you told the jury that you actually reached out to the defense, right? >> correct. >> and tell the jury when you started your consulting company pmt. that is what you're doing now. >> i started doing consulting work at the -- i want to say it was 2011, 2012 through tactical advantage solutions. in 2013, i started dennis root and associates, which is a private investigations and expert witnesses firm. >> dennis root and associates, you started earlier this year? >> yes

that wasn't information he was providing to the operator, like, okay, he is a -- pardon my language, asshole, so when the officer comes he can go, where are you? that wasn't a description so the officer could identify him, was it? why is he uttering that word? other than that's how he feels? now, defense may get up here and tell you, oh, he was just angry. well, you decide. i would submit to you on behalf of the state of florida, that's more than angry, that's frustration, that's ill will, hatred you've made up your mind, he's criminal and you're tired of these criminals committing crimes and he's not going to get away. >> are you following him? >> yeah. >> okay. we don't need you to do that. sir, what is your name? >> why was it necessary to, again, utter the words, f'ing punk? if he hadn't already in his mind determined that he was a criminal that trayvon martin was a criminal and he was not going to get away. recall the testimony in terms of the entrance? and again, we talked about the fact that there's only three streets, this is one. this is one that circles all the way around and there

. >> did you hear him refer to the person he ended up shooting, trayvon martin, as an asshole?yes. >> so the term -- >> i think that people like to give too much weight. if you look at it in the con e text in which it was stated, his reference in that statement was addressing his -- clearly addressing his frustration from previous calls in which the individuals got away.
