affects them directly i don't have any skin in the game or it's not my problem or i sure hope that it gets better for that person. thoughts and prayers. i feel like that's what people do when it comes to racism. thoughts and prayers instead of actively pushing back against it. >> the problem with that -- i mean, there are a million problems with that, but the problem is they're coming for everyone, right? i mean, the racism was a feature of trump's original run for office, his slurs against mexicans, his good people on both sides of the kkk rally in the earliest years of his presidency, proud boys stand back and stand by. the problem is now his extremist policies have anyone with a womb or uterus at risk of a government-mandated pregnancy. the rise in anti-semitism, the rise in attacks against asian americans. not anyone is spared and i wonder where you think the blinders come from that people
it comes to combating human trafficking, welcome to you tim. people, cannot imagine victimizing anyone taking advantage of vulnerable people, yet it happens, we must be educated and aware, as painful as it is, right? >> there is no doubt. we have to be educated and be aware, and willing to take off the blinders too long we have kept on blinders and thought if we just go about hour business, we don't have to look at it, but we do, we have to be aware so awareness can lead to action and action to khaled to lead to change and change lead to more rescues so boys and girls don't have to go through one of the worst evils in the world, we have to be willing to look at it, address it and see it. so we can change it as a

combating human trafficking. welcome to you, tim tebow. people of good conscience cannot victimizing anyone, but yet it happens. we must be aware, painful as it is, right? >> no doubt about it, we have to be educated and aware and willing to take off the blinders. we have kept on blinders and think if we go about business, we don't have to look at it, we have to lead to action and action lead to change so boys and girls don't go through one of the worst evils in the world. look at it, address it, see it so awareness is not so people know about it, we can together as society change it. trey, i got to say, as we start out, last year you were kind
now each side had one last chance. the defense insisted that investigators had blinders on when they went after pam phillips, carelessly ignoring other possible leaves like neil -- who had openly wished gary triano dead. >> there is plenty of proof that we have summoned that there is a reasonable doubt. the state went after the easy -- the woman who got a 2 million dollar insurance policy, and the guy that was extorting her. >> but, said the prosecutor, the idea that any one else was responsible for this murder, other than pam and her coconspirator ron young was just pure fantasy. >> it makes for a good story that neil -- did -- must have been him. it makes for a good story that he has a friend who does model airplanes and has --
the fact the president was currently running for president. she didn't see that as a reason she couldn't set a schedule. i took that as a positive sign in light of what you mentioned that raise real concerns if she was affording special treatment to president trump. the question going forward is will she try to her best effort to hold everybody to this schedule. >> put your former prosecutor hat back on. they say these are serious crimes. we need to get these into court, speedy trial. it's right in the middle of a presidential cycle. do they check the primary calendar as they are making this or just say blinders straight ahead, here we go. >> i have been very impressed by how the special counsel's team has been doing the work before them as prosecutors. you see that with respect to the fact that they are not leaking. they are doing the job as prosecutors, not talking to the press other than when announcing
for president. she did not see that as a reason why she cannot set a schedule. so ããi took as a very positive sign. in light of the context and the prior rulings that you just mentioned.which had raised real concerns about whether she was affording preferential treatment to former president trump. so ããi think the question going forward is will she try to her best effort? to hold everybody to the schedule? >> put your former prosecutor hat back on for me for a moment here. you know ããspecial counsel team says these are serious offenses and serious crimes. we need to get these into the court. it's a speedy trial. it's also right in the middle or presidential election cycle. does that factor in? do they check the republican primary calendar? as they are making this or they just signed blinders straight ahead, here we go. >> have been very impressed by how the special counsel team really has just been doing the work before them as prosecutors. we see that with respect to the fact that they are not leaking.
it cops to tesla and spacex. when elon comes in, he's going to have sophisticated data analysts. >> it's just going to happen like that, right? unless it's not. so, why are so many people getting this so wrong? i just want to level with you. part of what we're seeing on the right is a kind of partisan hero worship applied to a business league. itself it's kind of odd, but we know how partisanship can work. partisan fans get biassed towards their party or team, and that can put you in kind of a box. those kind of blinders now being applied to shield musk, a very rich, powerful man, from objective judgment from some of those quarters, even as independent experts see his leadership besieged by missteps. and there's measurable failure. traffic is tanking. top voices who power a site like this are using less. other user say they're taking a break from twitter altogether.
and they include arguments against indictment. they include attempts to poke holes in whatever prosecutorial theory they are advancing, they are their own critics as they present the case. >> that's right. that is actually something that i have always found my students, throughout the time i was teaching law, the best way to make an argument is to put yourself in the head of your opponent and make the best argument you can against your position. that is the only way you can really, thoroughly understand where a judge might be coming from, where a juror might be coming from. you don't want to be simply an advocate cutting corners, making the strongest argument, wearing blinders. that is what a good prosecution memo does. it explores all of the arguments pro and con, and that
