Represented several senior executive branch officials with investigations from the office of government ethics military officers are only allowed to accept gifts up to $20. nypd cops, they get written up if they take a free cup of coffee yeah there are there are rules in place for federal judges that limit the gift that they can get. it $50. but it specifically exempts the supreme court in the states. it can be even worse. i once had a state supreme court justice that i was in front of the during the case had a third party come to me and asked for a campaign contribution for that, judge. any type of thing where they re taking these large gifts. it s an appearance of impropriety is something that does in my opinion it degrades the image of impartiality and i think that i agree with ellie, this is something that the congress should act and try and put in some reasonable regulations on elie we talked about the bianna
Dozen states were initiated by the people. not by politicians, but by people. people who held their abortion stories to themselves for years, saw this as a time, and this is in a couple of people. you have to get 200, in florida, 900,000 validated picturesa, to get it on the ballot. the question is, will people vote for biden in the initiative? what we saw in kansas, the very first one, is that people voted overwhelmingly for their abortionwh initiative and still voted for some of the people who created the laws in the first place. so what we should carefully be looking at is, these initiatives i think are going to greatly help with senate races in places that will be surprising, congressional raises, and will people say, i m going to go foro biden, and that s a question somebody needs to answer. we could do that in the next poll. please do.
Because as mark mentioned, these things are not, they are not simply discreet. donald trump has worked very closely with each of these outlets. they are crucial cogs. as long as you have elected officials like ron johnson willing to carry water for the big lie in these conspiracy theories, they can still do a lot of damage. and will do a lot of damage. yeah. look, we talk about trump s kind of infallibility at least in the courts in terms of holding him accountable. we talk about changing the election. it is wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. and in two of those states. if you extend it to arizona, georgia, nevada. , there are state investigations and criminal indictments around these fake electors. while that might not be the overarching movement to hold
Mean, now he s threatening essentially here is proxies are threatening to jail. his political opponents. he is worse by degrees, but this notion of people that when all is said and done, when the chips are down, when the weight of the decision hits them, americans are not going to binary choice would not on a screen, but they re not gonna be able to metaphorically pull the lever for trump. i think that is dangerous complacency to think that. yeah, there s no evidence that that is not proven to be the case. i mean, people look at will biden won back in 2020 it was incredibly narrow in the states that matter in the electoral college we re talking about tens of thousands of votes. if you took a certain cluster of states, there were about 45,000 votes that if they d gone a different way would have made it a tie in the electoral college, even though biden won by about 7 million votes in the popular count, which of course doesn t, doesn t matter. but also remember in 20 hey, 20, we were mid pandemic, right? i think that really hurt trump in 2020, biden was the
Defendant who has no moral compass. donald trump needs to get beat. we need to move on as a party. we need to move on as a country now, what do you think about what he s saying is that something that you agree with i agree with. i agree with him wholeheartedly in he s he s reiterating what i was saying you know, you have, you know, being a president, you have to be a man of integrity so if it is not biden and it is not trump, who would you vote for if the election were today? i ve actually started looking into robert kennedy jr. i think he s running as an independent and he seemed so far a man of integrity in my opinion why is that and what about his policies du like i m still researching a lot of his policies and looking to see one of his things as he s trying to separate the conglomerate of between corporations and states

Of michael: but in 2011 when donald trump started talking about [ inaudible ] birth certificate, i said he was lying about it and i called him a liar and donald trump had never been called a liar before in his life. when he was leaving that day, he just did the stupidest thing he could possibly do. he looked right at me in this grand way that everyone in the courtroom could see, and he was trying to do a face that would be tough guy and scary and threatening and full of hate, but he s a terrible actor, so it came out as just an insanely twisted face that meant nothing but madness, and i loved it. if there were cameras in the court, people all over america in all 50 states would be calling in sick to work in order to stay home and watch this thing. i mean, it is so compelling in person. and, the drama of this
