hopefully impartial mind. how does this start on monday with opening arguments? well, thanks for having me on. will, i ll tell you the thing, when i went into the courtroom when, you know, you re first approaching that jury, sometimes the initial words you use, they feel like it s the most pivotal moment and you hope as an attorney the you can just persuade them right at the beginning to see the case your way. what you re doing is hoping tata you re planting some seeds. but it s really going to come down to what is their perspective of the defendant in this case, donald trump. and what is the perspective on how well the prosecution is going to match up the facts with the actions of mr. trump can and then to assess whether or not the law really prohibits what the prosecution is alleging. it s a really intimidating moment for an attorney, but once it starts rolling, you ll start to see that jurors will start to get more comfortable if their role. the prosecutor and the defense
venn diagram just overlaps, and there s no room in between. these are anti-capitalist organizations, socialists who are going after to oppressive regime of capitalism. and when you pay attention to some of their language, some of the signs that they bring, they re going after the economy. on monday when they were blocking the roads to sea-t the ac airport or chicago o hare or the golden gate bridge, that was an economic blockade. they re not hiding it, they re just using israel the same way, frankly, they used the blm issue to commandeer and push forward with their own political agenda. pete: yeah. these are the same a answer folks, the same socialist folks, just a different veneer on the same revolution they re trying to impose if on the rest of us. jason rantz, you see it from that view because you ve seen it from the beginning before. appreciate if you coming on this morning. thank you. thank you. appreciate it. pete: all right. trump officially has a jury for his hush money trial
