Look, that's the unifying theme that I had to with Fierro, the teachers,
Starbuck union organizers, Sandy Hook families, they're all regular Americans
that are looking out, not just for themselves but for others.
So, a lot of compelling points Brett, what do you think?
>> I keep thinking about people running into the face of danger,
people who have experienced the ultimate tragedy in their lives and fighting back.
But then I keep coming around and Michael Shore knocked on like 100 doors.
>> At least 1000, 10,000.
>> I'm just kidding.
I love Michael Shore, I have the most Michael Shore merchandise.
>> This is an accessible example.
We can all go out and knock on doors, we can all go out and shake hands,
we can all go out and run for office.
How many of us get that opportunity to run towards gunfire or
to sue somebody over the defamation of the death of your child.
And it's just like a philosophical argument about,
do we want a Turk to be something that's an example that we can all access or
something that we can all hope we would access in the most extreme circumstances.
>> Here's my thing, if we give Michael Shore the Turk of the year,
he's not gonna run for Congress again and win.
So, he's gonna be like, I achieve the ultimate goal change has been made.
I'm gonna siphon Michael Shore and all Michael Shore bits away from
the show now cuz I have bought an amazing shirt, which is really good
material from him as well as a Scuzzy, which works wonders on my beards.
I'm gonna go with the guy who ran into gunfire and
then revealed himself to be the most down to earth caring human
being who embodies self sacrifice towards the greater good.
And I also host a show called Happy Half hour where we have good news and
good booze and I don't know if you've seen the interviews this guy's done, but
he also works at a brewery or the family has a brewery.
And so, that's if you're into the merch situation, I say go and
support the brewery that he has.
I think that person really takes it to the next level because of a,
it's one person, it's a moment where it defines you or
you define it and I don't think I would have it.
I know for certain I wouldn't have it in me to fight back in that way or
really to rally the troops around him to fight back in the way that he did.
I'm gonna side with Anna and not just because if I don't,
she could physically assault me because we're both in the studio.
>> [LAUGH] >> Okay, so, I promised surprises on this
special and we're about to have a massive one.
There's a twist coming up here that I didn't even expect.
So, we've got a 2-2 tie here between the Sandy Hook families and Richard Fierro.
I'm gonna change my own vote, even though I was in a tie against myself and
I'm going to Richard Fierro who's doing now the winner.
>> Hero, good news and good booze,
you're right Brett/ >> Okay, now, let me tell you why and
then they do the last surprise.
So, number one, he was already in my top four anyway, but number two,
I think we're all saying the same thing, everyday Americans making a difference.
He's just a perfect symbol of that, right?
And so, it wasn't over a long stretch of time, like the Starbucks union
organizers etc., it was just that one moment where he's like, no, I'm gonna
do the right thing and go all the way as far as risking my own life to help others.
And remember what Bernie Sanders ran on, he said help someone you don't know and
that's exactly what Richard Fierro did.
And the last piece of it is, I like picking people over a group of people,
even though I do it all the time.
I do the group of people all the time because I so wanna reward them for their
wonderful actions but in this case I think Richard Fierro is the right way to go.
