>> well, first of all, to biden winning, laura, is buddy holly and john wayne both said, "that'll beay," he's not going to win texas. we are fighting the democrats in multiple counties, four big counties, because those in charge of the election -- the democrats -- are sending out ballots, the forms to get mail-in ballots, and as you said, in the houston/harris county area, that's over 400,000 voters right there, people that didn't even ask for them, and we look at boat harvesting, when you look at the corruption and mail in votes, look, laura, the democrats love mail-in ballots because they know they can sheet like hell, and when this election is over, both sides are going to dispute the outcome because it's going to be close and mail-in ballots are going to be in question. look what happened in your, the judge allowed a thousand ballots a month after the election. we are working hard. we've stopped them at the fifth circuit, but they are doing it for 65 and older in our big cities and using federal money to do it. >> laura: all this time later in new york, just barely getting around

he became a technical advisor on silent cowboy films and befriended a young john wayne. >> as sandy millsrows up, her grandmother, isabelle, promises that, when she dies, she'll leave sandy her tintype photo. grandma tells her it's a one-of-kind image of legendary outlaw jesse james and his killer, bob ford, whom she calls "the coward." the picture, she adds, is hugely valuable. >> she wanted me to have a good life, so she said, "this is jesse james and the coward, and this is now yours. go do something with it." >> so, when isabelle passes away in 2006, at age 85, the tintype becomes sandy's strange inheritance. but while there are tales of the family harboring the james gang, no one knows why they came to possess the picture, only that it dates back to sandy's great-great-great-grandmother, pauline roundtree. >> it's just passed on through all the ladies, and then my grandma gave it to me. >> sandy's now a single mom, living in washington state, with a young son to raise. >> i wanted to sell it because i could make a nice start for me and my son, you know, have a home and everything. >>

hiroshima has been -- there've been a lot of films from john wayne all the way up to, clint eastwood,he two parts. there is midway and others pearl harbor and there's the guadalcanal and on and on. there's a lot of stories, so i'm actually having a conversation with my publisher right now about going back and doing perhaps another trilogy and that would be good. pearl harbor is a good place to start obviously it is where it starts with us. but immediately thereafter, what you are talking about, i by chance was in a hotel in kansas city where they had the annual gathering of survivors. i knew nothing about it. this was years ago. i knew nothing about it and i'm walking through the hotel and see this stuff, i see the posterposters and these are soms that had have a lot of bitterns because nobody really pays much attention to what happened to them and they are not especially fans of douglas macarthur. macarthur leaves them. i shall return. that's what he's talking about when he leaves and goes to australia. he's leaving those guys behind. it's a tough story and i don't know that i would

he said when i went there i thought i was john wayne.t's kind of wonderful for black men to think he's john wayne and he's fighting for liberty. i think he was disabused of this notion, you know, while he was there. he came back and his politics came up and he joined the panthers, et cetera. then became a librarian and is now a publisher. i think a lot of people, especially young man, want to believe in what they are doing in wartime, and they are fighting. they want to believe that the anger inside of them, which is kind of natural, as a reason and a purpose and a patriotism. but often find out well, it's not true. that's true for mark in all quiet on the western front. i think it's true for a lot of germans in world war ii. i think it's true for a lot of russians also in world war ii. in every war there's a moment where you may feel like wow, this was wrong. i made a mistake. sometimes not. american revolution i think people agreed. the civil war, i'm not sure if either side ever thought they made a mistake. but i think many sides made

back in the '70s, the senior motta represented a clown-turned-serial-killer named john wayne gacy. >> i had never tried a case with my dad, and he's towards the end of his career. he'd always said to me if you get a juicy murder give me a call, i'll try it with you. and i called him half expecting him to be, like, "nah, you know, i'm too old, i don't want to do it." he was on board immediately. so -- >> this ended up being that case. >> that was that case, right. >> reporter: dr. anthony garcia insisted that he was innocent. but the mottas were concerned that extensive press coverage of the murders was giving potential jurors only one side of the story. >> they needed to hear that there were so many other people with means, motive, and opportunity that could have committed this crime that makes much more sense than somebody waiting 13 years to, you know, murder somebody that they knew for a very short period of time. >> reporter: in pretrial hearings, the mottas battled with prosecutors as if they were rival mma fighters. todd cooper remembers being in the judge's chambers one day whe
