When orating a sales pitch there is a rhythm and flow that makes the point and impact of that point. That was just a broken up mess with too many self interruptions that degraded his whole argument and made no sense, almost cryptic as a result.
Sounds like he may have been a stutterer when he was young and he learned to insert “Um” repeatedly to prevent the stutter. But this was just as bad or worse, just about three Ums to every one legible word in ratio. Far too much and it removed the seriousness of the statements he was making. He steps on his own feet in delivery.
Good attorney or not, that inability to articulate a sales pitch would have had me looking for someone else to represent me. What good are skills if you can’t cleanly clearly communicate and deliver those skills.
Thank you for stating so well what I was thinking.
For reference, the firm representing PragerU is Brown George Ross. Former CA Governor Pete Wilson was a part of the team in court today but from what I could tell Peter Ross was the lead attorney representing PragerU today. His bio can be found here: http://www.bgrfirm.com/attorneys/peter-ross/
