Alina Haba had a very good year.

Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, whose signature professional achievement is a million -dollar sanctions order for filing a lawsuit that no reasonable lawyer would have filed,

landed a contract guaranteeing her more than $50 million over four years.

Her new employer is a Florida company called Concord Partners.

It has no public profile, and nobody seems to know what it does.

It was created just days before she signed on by a 27 -year -old daughter of a Venezuelan billionaire banker,

a banker who pled guilty to campaign finance violations and really, really wanted a pardon.

Two months later, Donald Trump gave that banker a full and unconditional pardon, and when she signed that $50 million deal,

Habba was still calling herself an acting U .S attorney for the District of New Jersey,

despite a federal judge saying she was nothing of the kind.

All of which means that Alina Habba, or Alina Habba Milden, as she's now known, is never leaving the news cycle,

which is great news for me personally, because I have been writing about Habba for so many years,

and I really thought it was over for us when she married a billionaire and quit pretending to practice law.

But no, Alina Habba is back, baby.

She's in a public knife fight with a fellow denizen of MAGA World, and she is in this metastasizing cronyism scandal,

and I will be writing about this woman for years to come.

Hooray for me.

Back in 2020, Alina Habba was running a tiny law firm in New Jersey.

She did some family law, some commercial real estate.

She served as general counsel to a chain of parking garages owned by her husband, which is a perfectly respectable living.

But it's not the traditional resume for a lawyer who's going to represent the most famous defendant in America

and serve as chief prosecutor in New Jersey.

In fact, nobody would have ever heard of Habba if what happened in Jersey had just stayed in Jersey, but it didn't

because a 21 -year -old waitress was being sexually harassed by her manager at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster,

New Jersey, and Alina Habba saw the chance to launch herself into Trump's orbit.

According to a lawsuit filed in 2023, she sidled up to that server at the breakfast bar

and said she had heard about what was going on and could help.

The server did have a lawyer, but Habba love -bombed her and then convinced her to fire her counsel, after which Habba whipped up a settlement,

fobbing the server off with a paltry $15 ,000

and got her to sign a nondisclosure agreement that was facially unenforceable under New Jersey law.

It even had a clause saying

that the woman would have to pay $1 ,000 a day in penalties

if she ever talked about being harassed by her manager after which Habba ghosted the woman.

Now that is all kinds of wrongs,

starting with the fact that it's entirely unethical to approach a party who is represented by counsel and discuss a pending case.

The server successfully sued to void the agreement and asked the judge to refer Habba to New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.

In March of 2024, the club paid the former employee $82 ,500, and a few months later,

Habba quietly entered into her own settlement with the woman.

But by then, Habba was Trump's personal lawyer, deeply ensconced in his world because Trump was

so impressed with Hava's ability to deal with sexual harassment cases that he hired her to handle a lawsuit brought by former

Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, and then he tasked her with fending off defamation and sexual abuse allegations from E.

Jean Carroll, which was a four -year shit show, thanks in large part to Alina Hava's wacko lawyering,

like the time she tried to exclude testimony of another woman

Trump was accused of sexually assaulting because it doesn't count if it's on an airplane, or the time she coached

Trump during his deposition

when he mistook a picture of Carroll whom he had said was too unattractive to sexually assault for his second wife, Marla Maple. So, yes.

And do you recall when you first saw this photo?

At some point during the process, I saw it.

That's, I guess, her husband, John Johnson, who was an anchor for ABC.

Nice guy.

I thought, I mean, I don't know him, but I thought he was pretty good at what he did.

I don't even know who the woman, let's see.

I don't know who.

It's Marla.

You're saying Marla's in this photo?

That's Marla, yeah.

That's my wife.

Which woman are you pointing to?

Here.

The person you just pointed to was E .J.

Carroll.

Who is that?

Who is this?

And the person, the woman on the right, is your then wife?

I don't know.

This was the picture.

I assume that's John Johnson.

Is that Carol?

Because it's very blurry.

Were the times she tried to countersue Carroll for defamation because the jury only found

Trump liable for sexual abuse, not rape.

That got the trial judge to put out an order describing her client as a digital rapist twice.

Or the time she and her partner got a remedial civil procedure lesson in open court

when they tried to argue that the judge was bound by another trial judge's ruling in a different federal district court.

Or the time the judge had to explain to Haba

and her associate that only one lawyer at a time gets to cross -examine the witness.

Or the time she forgot to raise presidential immunity claims for three years

and then tried to brush it off because you can't litigate when you're a sitting president.

I told you, I have written about this woman.

100

Because Trump just kept on defaming E.

101

Jean Carroll, there were two defamation trials.

102

After the first, the jury found him liable for sexual assault and awarded the plaintiff $5 million.

103

The second time around, after he'd proved that $5 million would NOT BE ENOUGH TO SHUT HIM UP, THE JURY AWARDED CAROL $83 MILLION.

104

I GUESS HAVA WAS PROUD OF THAT BANG -UP JOB SHE HAD DONE IN COURT

105

BECAUSE SHE JUST STOMPED OUT UNTO THE COURTHOUSE STEPS AND SCREAMED ABOUT THE RIDICULOUS JURY.

106

BEFORE I WALKED INTO COURT, THAT JUDGE DECIDED THAT EVERY SINGLE DEFENSE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD, WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO RAISE IN FRONT OF THE JURY.

107

IT IS IN WRITING AND I ENCOURAGE THE JOURNALIST, THE REAL JOURNALIST TO TAKE THE MINUTE TO LOOK AT HIS ORDERS.

108

A few weeks later, she argued that her client was so rich he shouldn't have to post bond during his appeal,

109

which is very much not how any of this works.

110

Like I said, a lot of bangers in the Elena Hoppe back catalog.

111

In September of 2021, she sued

112

The New York Times and Trump's niece

113

Mary Trump for $100 million over a Pulitzer -winning story about the Trump family's tax schemes.

114

A New York judge tossed that case and ordered

115

Trump to pay the Times nearly $400 ,000 in legal fees.

116

Two months later, Habba threatened to sue the Pulitzer Prize Board,

117

who were refusing to revoke the 2018 prizes awarded to The Times and The Washington Post for covering the Russia investigation.

118

But Habba's masterpiece was the 108 -page troll suit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and 29 of their closest friends,

119

alleging that they did the RICO to Trump with the Russia investigation.

120

The complaint was filed in Florida, where very few of the defendants lived, because Florida is a state in the United States,

121

which was an important one.

122

That case was so patently defective, Habba

123

and her client wound up sanctioned to the tune of a million dollars for making all those people hire lawyers

124

and show up in court in Florida.

125

But you gotta fake it till you make it, I guess.

126

If Habba is faking being smart, she apparently fooled Donald Trump because when he returned to the White House in 2025,

127

Habba came with him as counselor to the president.

128

Two months later, he made her the interim U .S attorney for New Jersey despite the fact

129

that she had zero prosecutorial experience.

130

Haba spent a lot of time in office threatening various

131

Democratic politicians in New Jersey.

132

She actually charged Newark Mayor Raz Baraka with trespassing at an ICE detention center.

133

Ten days later, she dropped that case and then charged

134

Representative LaMonica McIver with assaulting federal agents.

135

Haba also spent a lot of time parading around, kitted out like a member of a SWAT team.

136

But it's one thing to play dress up.

137

It is quite another to be a real U .S attorney.

138

Because the Constitution gives the Senate the right to advise and consent to the appointment of a federal officer,

139

including the chief prosecutor in every federal district.

140

And there was no way Habba was getting confirmed in the Senate thanks to the blue slip rule.

141

That is, if both home state senators refuse to turn in their blue slips for a judicial or U .S attorney nominee,

142

that nominee does not move forward.

143

And New Jersey's two

144

Democratic senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim, were never gonna bless Habba's nomination.

145

Now, when there was a vacancy, the judges in a federal district can appoint someone who can stay indefinitely as U .S attorney without confirmation.

146

But they refused to appoint Habba, which former Attorney General Pam Bondi characterized as rogue judges threatening the president's core

147

Article II powers.

148

Habba then announced that she was staying on the job as acting U .S attorney.

149

But a federal judge said that was entirely illegal, and the Third Circuit agreed.

150

Finally, in December of 2025, Habba tapped out with this defiant tweet where she promised that you can take the girl out of New Jersey,

151

but you cannot take

152

New Jersey out of the girl, after which she promptly moved to Florida.

153

But Habba did not actually leave the Justice Department, or not immediately.

154

The day she resigned, Bondi announced that Habba would stay on as senior advisor, overseeing all the U .S attorneys in the country.

155

So she got kicked out of one U .S attorney's office and promoted to supervising the other 92, which is some impressive failing up.

156

And that is where she was sitting when the Venezuelan billionaire got his pardon.

157

But before we get to that...

158

We gotta talk about a guy called Rick Grinnell.

159

Rick Grinnell is a longtime

160

Trump loyalist who served as ambassador to Germany, where he caused one diplomatic incident after another during the first Trump administration.

161

Grinnell is so intensely toxic that

162

Trump actually used him as a battering ram to force through the confirmation of John Ratcliffe as director of national intelligence.

163

See, the Republican -controlled

164

Senate did not want to confirm Ratcliffe as top spy because Ratcliffe, who was then a congressman from Texas, had so egregiously fibbed about his resume.

165

But under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act,

166

the president can let someone who has been confirmed by the Senate temporarily occupy any vacant role that requires Senate confirmation.

167

So Trump parked Grinnell in the DNI spot, working on the assumption that

168

Senate leader Mitch McConnell would be

169

so horrified at the prospect of Grinnell running the nation's intelligence apparatus that he would tap out and confirm Ratcliffe, which is exactly what happened.

170

This time around, Ratcliffe is CIA director, where he's what passes for an adult in the room.

171

And Grinnell is back, too.

172

In January of 2025, Trump gave him the amorphous title of Envoy for Special Missions.

173

Grinnell promptly started trying to broker deals in Venezuela, much to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's annoyance.

174

So within a few weeks, Grinnell got shunted off to run the Kennedy Center,

175

where he did such an amazing job that the place wound up shut down and mired in vicious litigation.

176

Here, have a video.

177

Grinnell and Haba used to be friends.

178

In fact, she met her new husband, a Turkish investor named Torhan Mildan, at the Kennedy Center.

179

Mazel tov to the lovely couple, by the way.

180

Love brought you together to this moment to unite your destinies.

181

But while most of MAGA World was at Habba's wedding, Grinnell was conspicuously absent, which was exceptionally weird,

182

because Grinnell and Mildan used to be good buddies when Grinnell was doing whatever he was doing in Venezuela.

183

According to the New York Times, there's some dispute about Mildon's age.

184

Some outlets report he's 29.

185

Others say his documents show him as 25.

186

But however old he is, Torhan Mildon's first politically advantageous marriage in 2021 was to the daughter of a construction magnate close to Turkey's President Erdogan.

187

That launched his career.

188

And shortly after that, he got very friendly with the leadership of the Democratic Republic of Congo

189

and even got himself a Congolese diplomatic passport.

190

Then he moved on to Venezuela, where President Nicolás Maduro's money man, Alex Saab, handed him a contract to run the state -owned cement plants,

191

as well as a shrimp production and export business, which had recently been seized from a supporter of the opposition political party.

192

Saab is a controversial figure who was indicted for money laundering in his NATO Colombia,

193

extradited to the U .S in 2021 for money laundering charges here, and then got repatriated to Venezuela in 2023 in a prisoner swap.

194

And remember when I said that Grinnell was messing around in Venezuela last year?

195

Well, Grinnell was buddies with Mildon, and they both supported the normalization of the U .S government's relationship with President Nicolas Maduro.

196

But then Grinnell got turfed out to the Kennedy Center, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio got his preferred policy,

197

which was to kidnap Maduro and also Saab and bring them to the U .S to stand trial.

198

That was very bad news for Mildon, because when Maduro fell, he lost his patron.

199

And the new Venezuelan government under President Delce Rodriguez moved to yank Mildon's contracts for those expropriated businesses.

200

But then Mildon allied himself with someone who had a lot of clout in American politics.

201

Like he told

202

Forbes, in my grandfather's time, know -how was very important.

203

Now, know -who is important.

204

And suddenly, he had a new girlfriend with a direct line to Donald Trump.

205

According to the Times, the Venezuelan government noticed and paused the revocation of Mildon's business contracts.

206

What a lucky break.

207

Then on October 8, the New York Times started asking Mildon questions about his business in Venezuela.

208

And the very next day, Habba stormed into the Oval Office in Washington and accused

209

Rick Grenell of making millions of dollars in Kennedy Center donations disappear.

210

According to Habba, Grenell told Mildon to wire $17 .6 million to a Texas defense company called TXAT in May of 2025.

211

Grenell used to work for TXAT, at least as a contractor, in 2024 for, but he says he has no ongoing affiliation with the company.

212

No one is talking about what the rest of the money was for,

213

but Habba says that $5 .6 million of it was supposed to go to the Kennedy Center and never got there,

214

and as proof, Mildon's lawyer sent the White House a text message in

215

which Grinnell supposedly said he wanted to make Mildon the American face down in V, meaning Venezuela.

216

He also sent documentation that the money was transferred, although they redacted the identity of the account, which wired the funds.

217

In fact, the originating account was associated with the Congolese government.

218

The Kennedy Center checked its books and found that Milden had pledged $270 ,000, not $6 million or $17 million,

219

and he hadn't paid the $270 ,000 either until the Times called this month to ask why.

220

Grinnell called this whole thing absurd and said, I've never asked for one cent to be sent somewhere else pretending it was for the Kennedy Center,

221

and I've never received any payment from him at all, and he says he.. never sent the American face down in V -text either.

222

Trump tasked White House counsel

223

Will Scharf with getting to the bottom of this.

224

Scharf was a guest at Habba's wedding last month and worked with her defending

225

Trump in the E.

226

Jean Carroll cases.

227

But take it in light of the story the Times was working on,

228

that Oval Office visit looks a lot like an ever to knife Grinnell before he could knife her,

229

which brings us at long last back to that $50 million deal Habba negotiated for herself.

230

And hey, what are the odds? because this one involves Venezuela, too.

231

Now if you have a job describing the country's descent into naked corruption that would make Richard Nixon blush,

232

you may sometimes seek the relaxation of an adult beverage.

233

Ask me how I know.

234

But we're all going into the holidays, so it's time to start planning for party season.

235

This is Pre -Alcohol from ZBiotics, and I'm absolutely thrilled they sponsored this part of the video because this is a game -changer.

236

I've been using it for years.

237

It's a must before girls' night out, especially if you've got stuff to do in the morning and who doesn't.

238

Z -Biotics pre -alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.

239

It was engineered by PhD microbiologists to break down acetaldehyde, which is an unwanted byproduct of alcohol metabolism.

240

Z -Biotics says it's the buildup of acetaldehyde, not dehydration, that usually ruins your mornings after drinking.

241

Your body produces an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase to deal with this harmful byproduct, but there's only so much it has on hand.

242

And that is the magic of Z -Biotics pre -alcohol.

243

It gives your gut an ample supply of this natural enzyme, so long as you take it before you start drinking

244

i am very intentional about what i put in my body

245

246

that the mechanism of action at play here is all natural to how the body detoxifies itself from alcohol

251

Julio Herrera Velotini is a billionaire banker from a Venezuelan banking dynasty that dates back to the 14th century.

252

In 2022, he was indicted for bribery in Puerto Rico, along with the island's former governor, Wanda Vasquez, and an FBI agent named Marc Rossini.

253

The government spent nearly three years prosecuting that case, and the judge rejected every motion to dismiss.

254

But then, Then in August of 2024, Herrera hired Chris Kyes, another of Donald Trump's personal lawyers.

255

And later, Herrera even brought in Elon Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro, which kind of seems like overkill.

256

In May, the government informed

257

Judge Sylvia Carreño -Cole

258

that there had been a productive meeting in Washington, D .C with members of the prosecution team

259

and senior officials in the Justice Department with an eye toward resolving the matter short of trial.

260

And suddenly, the bribery charges disappeared.

261

Instead, each defendant would plead guilty to a single misdemeanor campaign finance violation.

262

Judge Carreño -Call was pissed.

263

She called the new charge a mere slap on the wrist compared to what the defendants had been facing.

264

But alas, the government's decision to shift gears at the eleventh hour is allowed

265

because ultimately the government decides how it will exercise its prosecutorial discretion.

266

So Herrera and Vasquez were allowed to plead to the misdemeanor and walk away more or less unscathed.

267

But according to the New York Times, Herrera still really wanted a pardon, and so he dispatched Kais to seek a grant of clemency from Trump.

268

Herrera's daughter Isabella, who is a U .S citizen, also made $3 .5 million in donations to the MAGA Inc.

269

Super PAC.

270

Previously, her only contribution had been $20 to Pete Buttigieg through Act Blue.

271

Then on October 22, 2025, Isabella Herrera set up a company in Florida called Concord Partners.

272

It is not entirely clear what Concord does, but days later, it hired Alina Habba as general counsel for $10 million a year for four years,

273

plus bonuses for a guaranteed total of more than $50 million,

274

which is pretty good pay for a lawyer who is not even licensed to practice law in the state of Florida.

275

I mean, for comparison, the highest paid in -house lawyers in the world are making

276

like $15 to $25 million a year at places like Google and Apple and Zoom.

277

But perhaps more to the point, when Habba signed that deal, she was still calling herself the acting U .S attorney for New Jersey.

278

Later in December, after she flounced off with that tweet about not taking the girl out in New Jersey, she became a special government employee.

279

A special government employee is someone the government brings in temporarily for no more than 130 days in a 365 -day stretch.

280

And because Congress wanted these outside experts to be able to serve without quitting their day jobs,

281

SGEs are allowed to keep non -government employment as long as the agency signs off

282

and they steer clear of any government matter that touches their private gig.

283

Habba started her side hustle at Concord on January 1, 2026.

284

Herrera was set to be sentenced at the end of that month, but in a remarkable stroke of luck,

285

Donald Trump pardoned him and his co -defendants on January 15th.

286

The Justice Department pinky swears that Habba didn't talk to anyone there about a pardon,

287

and the White House says she had nothing to do with it either.

288

On X, Habba sneered, Big scoop after leaving public service, I've gone back to doing what I have done for my entire career, being a lawyer.

289

Had she left public service at the time, though?

290

Hmm.

291

Habba calls it intentional, pathetic, and obvious that we're using her maiden name for clicks, because if there's one thing

292

Republicans cannot abide, it's deadnaming.

293

And Mrs. Milden says any insinuation that my employment, all of which has been vetted and disclosed to the DOJ,

294

had anything to do with securing a pardon is false and defamatory.

295

And if you can't take the word of a lawyer who sanctioned a million dollars for filing a frivolous lawsuit, who can you trust?

296

Okay, so brass tacks.

297

Is any of this legal?

298

Well, the pardons for Herrera and Vasquez are untouchable.

299

The Constitution gives the president the power to pardon offenses against the United States, full stop, and no court can undo that.

300

They are in the clear no matter what happens.

301

But selling a pardon is a different story.

302

Federal law makes it a crime to corruptly give or receive anything of value in exchange for an official act,

303

and a pardon is clearly an official act.

304

The problem is proving it because the Supreme Court has spent the last decade chipping away at federal corruption law,

305

and these days it's functionally impossible to hold a public official criminally liable for selling office unless he's on tape saying,

306

give me money and I will do this official act in exchange.

307

Thanks, Chief Justice Roberts.

308

The Justice Department says that Habba Milden didn't talk to anyone there about a pardon,

309

and she gives all the credit to Chris Kyes for making their mutual client's problem go away.

310

She was just hired as the world's most expensive part -time attorney, nothing to see here.

311

There are DOJ ethics rules, though, and here the timeline matters.

312

When Habba negotiated this deal in October of 2025, she was not a special government employee.

313

She was a full -time federal prosecutor in New York who

314

had nothing to do with the case pending in the District of Puerto Rico.

315

But in December, she became

316

Pam Bondi's senior advisor overseeing all the U .S attorney's offices in the country, including, presumably, the U .S attorney's office in Puerto Rico,

317

which was still prosecuting her new employer's father and even special government employees are bound by the criminal conflict of interest statutes,

318

which bar them from participating in any government matter that affects the financial interests of their outside employer.

319

Habba says all of this was vetted and disclosed to the DOJ, but I would note that the people in charge of that vetting,

320

Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Cash Patel and White House Counsel Will Scharf, are all her friends.

321

They were all guests at her wedding.

322

And of course, none of this is happening in a vacuum.

323

According to the Times, Trump's second term has spawned an entire pardon industry with wealthy criminals paying well -connected lawyers,

324

fixers, and lobbyists to get to the president, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars or even a million dollars a pop.

325

Nikola founder Trevor Milton was sentenced to four years from defrauding investors.

326

He and his wife gave more than $1 .8 million to Trump's re -election effort in the fall of 2024,

327

and in March of 2025, he got a pardon.

328

Paul Walczak was sentenced to 18 months for pocketing millions in his employees' payroll taxes.

329

A few weeks after his mother went to a million -dollar had dinner for MAGA Inc at Mar -a -Lago, he got a pardon.

330

Binance founder Chen Ping Zhao pleaded guilty to failing to maintain an anti -money laundering program,

331

and then Binance got cozy with the Trump family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, and in October of 2025, Zhao got a pardon.

332

The only person who has faced any real blowback for taking cash for access is Kimberly Guilfoyle,

333

who was asked to resign as ambassador to Greece after the Wall Street Journal published her text demanding

334

that a Trump donor named Eric Dieters put $100 ,000 to her American Express bill.

335

Guilfoyle is represented by Jesse Beenel, whose firm handled

336

Trump's appeal of the sanctions levied against Haba in the Clinton -Rico case

337

because there are exactly five lawyers in Trump land and they divide the work up between them.

338

And now Haba's off the market since she'll have her hands full doing whatever it is she's doing for the Herrera family.

339

It's meteoric rise from a small -time attorney from New Jersey who sidled up to a waitress

340

and got her to take a $15 ,000 settlement and sign an illegal hush money agreement.

341

Since then, Habba's been sanctioned for a frivolous lawsuit, lectured on the rules of evidence in open court,

342

and kicked out of a U .S attorney's office by a unanimous

343

Third Circuit, and she's never been richer or closer to power.

344

So congratulations, Alina.

345

And congratulations to me, because it sure sounds like we will be talking about Alina Habba for years to come.

346

Now, all this highlights why it's so important to get a great lawyer when you're dealing with your own case.

347

Now, after I started this channel, every week I'd get hundreds of comments and emails from viewers who are dealing with legal problems.

348

And they'd ask, can you help me find a lawyer?

349

How do I know if this attorney is any good?

350

And there's a massive gap in our justice system.

351

It's that people don't know how to find the right lawyer for their specific situation.

352

They're scared, they're overwhelmed, and they end up doing nothing or hiring the first attorney who calls them back.

353

And that really bothered me.

354

So I started to wonder, what if there was a different way?

355

What if we could build a law firm that actually lived up to the values that I talk about on this channel?

356

Transparency, accessibility, and putting clients first instead of chasing billable hours.

357

A firm where you don't need to pay anything up front, and your lawyers only get paid if you do, to maximize your opportunity for justice.

358

So a few years ago, I decided to fix that problem.

359

I decided to start my own personal injury law firm.

360

And honestly, it wasn't an easy choice.

361

But I realized I was in this unique position.

362

I had this platform, this community, and the experience.

363

Not to get rich, trust me, there are easier ways to make money than starting a law practice.

364

But we did it because access to justice shouldn't be a luxury.

365

Because finding the right legal representation shouldn't feel like playing Russian roulette with your future.

366

And when you work with my firm, you're not just getting a lawyer.

367

You're getting a team that understands that behind every case is a real person with real stakes.

368

If we can't represent you or you're in a state where we don't practice,

369

we'll take the time to try to match you with an attorney in my personal network of lawyers,

370

a national network of some of the best lawyers in the country who actually specialize in what you're going through, located right where you are,

371

not just whoever happens to be available.

372

So if you're dealing with a personal injury, a car crash, a data breach, sexual harassment, a social security or workers' comp issue,

373

give us a call at the number on screen or click on the link below.

374

Now, I can't represent everyone that watches this channel.

375

I wish I could, but what I can do is make sure that when you need legal help,

376

you have somewhere to turn to that you can trust.

377

So whether it's me handling your case or the incredible attorneys we've partnered with,

378

you'll get the same principles of honesty and education that we bring to every video.

379

And if you're dealing with a legal issue and you're not sure where to start, check out the link in the description.

380

Let's have a conversation about how we can help you find not just a lawyer, but the right lawyer for your situation.

381

Because at the end of the day, that's what this is all about, making sure that when life gets complicated,

382

you don't have to face it alone.

383

Which is why when you need a lawyer, you don't just need a legal team, you need the Eagle team.

Произношение, на которое стоит обратить внимание

Говорящий использует 57 сокращённых и редуцированных форм, например you're, don't, can't. Произносите их коротко, так, как слышите.

Звуки «th»: threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, ethics /ˈɛθ.ɪks/, wealthy /ˈwɛl.θi/
Звуки «sh» и «zh»: confirmation /ˌkɑn.fəɹˈmeɪ.ʃən/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, corruption /kəˈɹʌpʃən/, donation /doʊˈneɪʃən/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/

Звуки, трудные для русскоязычных:

/w/ — губы округлены, это не /v/: tweet /ˈtwiːt/, waitress /ˈweɪ.tɹɪs/, wire /ˈwaɪɚ/, wealthy /ˈwɛl.θi/, quietly /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt.li/
/h/ — лёгкий выдох, а не русское «х»: hire /ˈhaɪɹ/, harassment /həˈɹæsmənt/, whoever /huˈɛvɚ/, highlight /ˈhaɪˌlaɪt/, acetaldehyde /ˌæs.ɪˈtæl.dəˌhaɪd/
Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, pretend /pɹəˈtɛnd/, disclose /dɪsˈkləʊz/, bind /ˈbaɪ̯nd/, accuse /əˈkjuz/

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
