The gentleman knows the text.

And he makes a valid point, that a speedy trial is in the best interest of the people and our country, and that this would-be tyrant's attempts to delay and thwart justice, by means of pleas with no more legal weight than some sov-cit's liens on a county commissioner, must be bull-dozed through. He cannot be allowed to delay his reckoning one second past the normal course of trial for conspiracy to commit violent felonies. That it is in fact a trial for the highest of crimes, attempting overthrow of the government of the United States, is no reason to indulge the man's dilatory efforts. The government of the United States is not some contractor who wants the full hundred thousand for installing the carpet in the lobby, rather than the sixty-five this 'blue-collar billionaire' seeks to fob him off with..
