11-16-24 The Weekend Hour 1: Democrat Lawyer Argues Trump Criminal Cases Should Be Dismissed

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
To night. Michael Brown joins me here the former FEMA
director talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie, You're
doing a heck of a job the Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey,
welcome to the Weeking with Michael Brown. Glad to have
you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. So, uh
we got some rules of engagement for the program. You
know what they are, but you know I'll repeat them
anyway for the kids in the back of the class.

(00:21):
If you want to send me a text, you will
send me a question or a comment. The telephone number
on your message app is three three one zero three
three three one zero three. Just start your message with
one of two words, either Michael or Michael, and then
tell me anything or ask me anything, and then be
sure and follow me on x, Facebook and Instagram. X
is at Michael Brown Usa. So go over to Twitter

(00:44):
and give me a follow over there. So let's get
started the see. You know, I do a I do
a spot for UH, an outfit in a clinic in
Colorado by the name of Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic, and

(01:05):
they they deal with erectile dysfunction UH men that have
low testosterone. All of that, and in one of the
spots that I do, I talk about how men obviously
as they yet older, start to lose their testosterone production,
and also that there are peer reviewed medical studies that

(01:26):
show that men as young as their thirties start to
lose testosterone production. And every time I do that spot,
I think about and sometimes they even mentioned it on
in the spot that maybe this is why we have
low t men in our society. And you've seen them
that they're just the masculinity is gone. And I'm not

(01:51):
talking about you know, you got to you gotta have
a you know, a big hairy chest, and you gotta
have a you know, a big thick beard or thick
head of hair, or you know, you gotta be gonna
be of early low voice in front. No, I'm just
talking about the emasculation of manhood in this country. Well,
what does that have to do with anything. Trump's overwhelmingly

(02:14):
decisive victor victory has caused weeping in the mashing of
teeth among the media, the cabal all across the Atlantic.
The Guardian newspaper, which is speaking of x This is
a little footnote here. The Guardian newspaper, along with Stephen

(02:36):
King and a bunch of other dumbasses have decided that
they're no longer going to post on X formerly Twitter,
uh and the Guardian and other newspapers. You know. I
think the Washington Post New York Times are all threatening
to do so also, and I think, really, are you
that stupid? And their reasoning is is because X is

(02:58):
letting too much missing disinformation appear on its platform. It's
not misinformation. What it really is is a different point
of view. It's conservative points of view, and the left
can't deal with it well. To show you how apoplectic

(03:20):
the cabal is, whether it's a newspaper, the Guardian, or
many the television stations in this country, or just the
talking heads in general, the Guardian has offered its staff counseling,
counseling to deal with the trauma trauma with an election.
The only time I've ever seen trauma in an election

(03:40):
is say, in Venezuela, when Maduro sends the cops out
to beat the opposition and try to find the opposition
winner in jail them. That's what I would consider to
be trauma. The use of the word trauma by the
Guardian in this context seems to be completely out of
place to me. But it's what they use now. I
don't know whether it's clear whether crayons and legos are involved,

(04:03):
as you know, they're doing it at some elite American universities.
But now the Guardian is complaining that Trump has caused
boys to act like boys again, Yes, causing boys to
act like boys. A Hudson Valley, New York high school
girl tells about her reign of terror on the day
after the election. Shouldn't laugh about this, but this is

(04:25):
the stupidity, This is the stupid world that we now
live in. She relates her story of terror again on
the Guardian newspaper. In the Guardian newspaper, when we walked
into school on the morning of sixth November, we exchanged
quick glances with the other girls in our social circle,

(04:46):
looks filled with uncertainty and dread about the future. We
noticed a very different attitude among our male peers. Subtle
high fives were exchanged, and remarks about the impending success
of the next four years were whispered all around. Sound
like Joe Biden, they were whispered all around. So boys

(05:07):
are accused of quote an increased interest in pursuing the
ideal masculine appearance by actually going to the by going
to the gym, engaging quote male dominated social activities, and
in general, just failing to adopt the preferred cringing, soy
boy persona, and Trump's blame for all of this toxic masculinity,

(05:29):
The Guardian continues, that's an older, actually three years older,
frail individual. Biden was an easy target for Trump's aggression.
While Trump's comments seemed like an attack on Biden's age
and mental competence, they also incorporated indirect attacks on his
masculinity that influenced this impressionable demographic of young men, and

(05:52):
when contrasted with Trump's pumping fists after the assassination attempted
in July, Biden was appearing weaker and weaker, while Trump
was solidifying his representation of traditional male heroism. Wait a minute,
traditional traditional male heroism. I thought, courage underfire. You've heard

(06:14):
the phrase courage under fire. I thought there was a
classic male virtue. Well, I think it is a classic
male virtue. But because it's the classic male virtue, it
must be an affront to wokeness, the Guardian continues. Similarly,
when Kamala Harris replaced Bidens, Trump's opponent. His goal of

(06:35):
making his adversary scene weak was much more straightforward, exacerbated
further by Harris's prioritization of women's rights in her campaign. Now,
I guess by women's rights the author of this story
in the Guardian means abortion, which was obviously was a
key issue for advocates of you know, of those who advocate,
you know, the killing of babies in the womb. Guardian

(06:59):
continues again, while these are just observations within our own
high school, we believe that this is happening across the country.
Young well off white boys from liberal families are being
tempted by conservatism. Hulus almost sounds like they're being tempted
by pornography or something. Oh look, our frail little Soy

(07:24):
boys are being tempted by the ideology of conservatism. These
people are nuts, They're just absolutely nuts. Let me go
back to the story. While these are just observations they
write within our own high school, we believe that this
is happening across the country. Young well off white boys

(07:45):
from liberal families are being tempted by conservatism simply to
protect an archaic idea of masculinity that guarantees them inherent power.
It is not as if they are against abortion, or
care much about the economy or immigration, or even feel
remotely attractive to the to conservative dogma. But clearly a
shift back towards traditional gender roles is resonating with these

(08:07):
boys now as as progression toward female empowerment threatens. They're
already delicate self esteem. Really, so, despite the liberal establishment's
best efforts, the campaign to de masculinize men and instill
self hatred and boys all because of an election, I guess,

(08:31):
is floundering. I think we know now why the left
is panicking. Uh oh, you mean boys might be boys
and girls might be girls, and boys might look at
masculinity and say, oh, I don't think there's anything wrong
with that, And there's not. It's the Weekend with Michael Brown.

(09:58):
to let's go back to the election. A couple of
things are already starting to occur that indicates to me
that well Trump, no, don't get me wrong, Trump's gonna
they're gonna be bumps on the road. You know, I
spend a lot of time this week with my with
my audience in Denver talking about you know, our expectations,

(10:21):
because I know people were worried about winning the election
to begin with, and there was a point where I
was kind of hinting to my local audience and to
you on the weekend program also that I really thought
we were going to win, and I thought we win solidly.
And obviously we did. We carried the blue We we

(10:44):
just blew right through the blue Wall. We got all
the southern states, We even carried Arizona, Nevada, we got.
We just did extraordinarily well. And in terms of the
electoral College, it was a landslide. And in terms of
Trump's baseline of about forty seven percent kind of being
his ceiling, he got well above fifty percent of the
popular vote. Although here's the key about the popular vote.

(11:08):
While that has nothing to do with how we elect presidents,
it is a signal to every single one of the
four hundred and thirty five congressional districts and to the
one hundred US Senators that a majority of Americans, well
over fifty percent, chose Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. And

(11:29):
by choosing Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, they chose the
policies of Trump over those of the progressive Marxists that
Biden and Harris have been imposing on the country not
just for the past four years, but for the eight
years of Barack Obama, also in fact, going all the
way to Woodrow Wilson, if you want to look at
it historically. So while there is when you look at

(11:54):
historical election returns, there is indeed a mandate for those
Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate to
do what the president wants to get done. And the
reason I say that is because when you break it
down into congressional districts or you look at that map,

(12:14):
I've suggested I'm sure I've suggested it to you too,
to get on the interwebs. Get on the old Internet,
get on the old WWW, and search for Trump. Let's
see counties won by Donald Trump and find that red
blue map that's divided between red counties and blue counties.

(12:36):
Because when you look at that, that is a geographic distribution,
in a geographic description of the national popular vote that
Donald Trump won, and it's the sea of red. And
if you look closely at those blue areas, with the
exception of a couple of places like state of New Mexico,
which is pretty much all blue. You look at a

(12:58):
state like Colorado where I'm sitting around now, well, Donald
Trump still lost Colorado. When you realize that, oh, that
little blue spot kind of in the middle of the map, well,
that's what we call the front range of Colorado. That's
the Denver metropolitan area. When you look at Illinois, even
states like Illinois where maybe Trump didn't you know, Trump

(13:19):
doesn't win, you still look at the versus blue distribution
and you realize that that red arm sorry, that that
blue area is predominantly for Cook County. It's Chicago. And
then when you start pulling back and you look at
most of the blue areas that were carried by Kamala Harris,
those are the urban areas, and the urban areas have

(13:40):
traditionally because of the demographic makeup, because they've got a
foothold the Democrats do in those areas, they tend to
vote blue. But overall, remember more than fifty percent of
the entire country. When you see against that back and
look at the blue versus red across that entire map,
you'll realize that a majority of the congressional districts, which

(14:04):
is why we control the House of Representatives, is also
why we control the US Senate because of a majority
of the states went red. That's a mandate that means
that Republicans should stick together and do now. I know
there'll be differences and a lot of Republicans and Susan
Collins in Maine, I'm looking at you, Lisa Rakowski in Alaska,

(14:27):
I'm looking at you. So there will be some Republicans
around the country that will not necessarily want the care
to push forward with Trump's agenda, and they'll bitch and
moan about stuff, and they'll be whining about everything. But
it's going to be incumbent upon people in those states
to put pressure on those senators. And of course there
are lots of congressmen around the country that are a

(14:48):
bunch of squishy Republicans that are going to have to
be told by you as their bosses, that you expect
them to fulfill the agenda that Trump puts forward. That's
why we have elections, and that's what Democrats do. When

(15:08):
Democrats win elections, they may have, you know, pockets of
opposition here or there, pockets of resistance that don't want
to implement the agenda of Joe Biden or Kamala Harris,
but that's when someone like Nancy Pelosi or Hakeem Jeffries
or you know, governors around the country will step in

(15:31):
and say, listen, we know you don't like this particular thing,
but we need your vote in order to get this done,
and you need our support when it comes to election time.
So I mean, this is the arm twisting that goes
on inside the beltweigh, and Republicans have got to learn
to do it too. I say all of that because

(15:51):
I want us to remember that we did win a mandate,
and while the majority in the House may be small,
it's still a majority of the congressional districts around the country,
and it's clearly a majority of the senators in all
fifty states because the current makeup is fifty four to
forty six or something like that. And so there is

(16:14):
a mandate to implement this agenda. And you're already beginning
to see that just the election alone is an indication
that people are going to change. I gave an example
on the local show, and it's a foreign example, and

(16:36):
it was the I forget her name's material. She's the
president of the European Union, and this woman comes out
and talks about how the EU is going to have
to start looking at buying liquefied natural gas from the
United States instead of from Russia. Well why suddenly the
change in tone, Why suddenly the change Well because the

(17:00):
reality of the election is hitting the EU, just like
that story from the Guardian. Oh my gosh, our little
boys are aking like little boys again. Do you see
how influential this country is. We have the ability over
the next two, if not four years, And I say
two years because we still have to get through the

(17:20):
midterm elections. Yes, I know I've already mentioned midterm elections
in twenty twenty six. But Ukraine's President Zelenski has already
said that the election of Trump will likely hasten the
end of the war between Ukraine and Russia his remarks
for publishing an interview with the Public Broadcasting Company of

(17:41):
Ukraine just yesterday. The war will end, he says, but
there is no exact date. So just like the EU
recognizes it, so does Zelensky. It's the weekend with Michael Brown.
Text the word Mike or Michael did three three one
zero three? Hang tight, We'll be right back tonight. Michael

(18:02):
Brown joins me here, the former FEMA Director of talk
show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie, you're doing a
heck of a job the Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey,
you're listening to the Weekend with Michael Brown, and I
really do appreciate you doing that. You know, if you
like what we do on the weekend, you can also
listen weekdays. I do a local program here in Denver
from six to ten Mountain time, and on your computer

(18:24):
or on your iHeart app, just search for six point
thirty khow six three zero khow K how in Denver
and you can listen from six to ten mountain time.
That would be what eight to noon, eight to noon
Eastern time, So you can get me up in the
mornings too. Carrying along the theme this hour about how

(18:46):
the election is already having all these changes, think about
we've got so far, so so far. We've got boys
in at least, according to the Guardian, boys in the
United Kingdom, in this country are kind of rediscovering their masculinity. Well,
I think that's a good thing. And we're suddenly beginning
to realize that the European Union recognizes that all of

(19:06):
their green energy policies are is a is a bunch
of crap, and so now they're thinking about buying LNG
from US instead of buying it from their enemy Russia.
And then we find out that Zelensky is also recognizing
that with the election of Trump, that there indeed may
be an end to the Russia Ukraine War. I saw it,

(19:27):
you know, just as a little footnote, a little bit
of tidbit of information. Doing during the show prep yesterday.
I ran across the stat Now, whether this is really
true or not, I don't know, but it came from
a fairly reliable source, and it said that from the
time that someone enrolls or joins the Russian Army in rolls,

(19:50):
from the time someone joins the Russian Army till the
time they make it from whatever the town they live
in and they make it into the army, they last
twelve days before they're killed. On average, that they have
lifespan of about twelve days. Russia is just churning through soldiers,

(20:15):
which is why I think if this war drags out
any longer, it's going to weaken Putin even more. And
I think Putin and Zelenski both welcome the election of
Donald Trump, depending on what he's able to negotiate obviously,
because Putin will want to keep what land he's grabbed
so far. He won't want to give up Crimea, which
he captured during the Obama administration. And Zelenski, of course,

(20:38):
once all of his land back, including Crimeria Crimea. So
that's going to happen or not, I don't know, but
the winning just keeps going on. A top Democrat party
election lawyer and a Supreme Court litigator that served as
general counsel to Vice President Al Gore during the two
thousand presidential election recount down in Florida, oh Man was

(21:01):
that ever fun is now arguing that his colleagues should
end the legal cases against Donald Trump. Thomas Goldstein is
this guy's name. He now publishes the legal commentary website SCOTUSblog.
I read SCOTUSblog all the time, and I know that

(21:22):
Thomas Goldstein is a liberal Democrat lawyer. But Scotisblog is
a fairly objective the fact, I'd say it is an
objective website about Supreme Court decisions. It not only gives
you the decisions, but it will offer commentary from, you know,
both the majority and the minority opinions in the court

(21:43):
about what the case really means, so if you sometimes
hear about a Supreme Court case and you want to
read about it, SCOTUSblog, seot Us Blog, SCOTUSblog dot com
is a pretty good website to use. But Thomas Goldstein,
I just want you to know the publisher of that
blog is a left wing Democrat lawyer. Well, he's making

(22:05):
the case that all of the cases, not just the
Jack Smith cases, not just the federal court cases, but
the court cases in New York, that they should all
be dismissed. Now. That's echoing a argument that was made
last week by former ag Attorney General Bill Barr, both

(22:25):
contending that the twenty twenty four election serves as its
own verdict on the prosecutions. Goldstein writes in an essay
for The New York Times that democracy's ultimate verdict, the
ultimate verdict. Hang on, let me pull this up because

(22:46):
I want to read directly from the case. With the
election now over, the courts have to decide quickly whether
to move forward with the criminal cases against Donald Trump.
Although this idea, this editorial, is going to pay my
fellow Democrats. All of the cases, he says, should be abandoned.
Democracy's ultimate verdict now just bear with him and the

(23:11):
use of the term democracy. You and I both know
we don't live in a democracy, and we're all grateful
that we don't live in a democracy. We have democratic principles,
but we don't live in a democracy. But he writes,
the democracy's ultimate verdict on these prosecutions was rendered by
the voters on election day. The charges were front and
center in the campaign. The President elect made a central

(23:34):
feature of us candidacy that the cases against him were political,
and that the cases against him were calculated to stop
him from ever being elected again. For a Democrat liberal
lawyer to write into New York Times an admission, now,

(23:55):
you might say, if you want to argue semantics, he's
saying that the president elect made this a central feature
of his candidacy. But he agrees. Goldstein agrees Donald Trump
made the cases against him the lawfair that we've talked about,

(24:15):
a central part of his campaign. And then he writes this,
despite the prosecutions, more than seventy five million people in
majority of the popular vote counted so far decided nonetheless,
that's my word that I want to put in here,
nonetheless decided to send him back to the White House.

(24:37):
And then He goes on to describe how Trump faces
three different prosecutions and a sentencing resulting from another prosecution.
Those are the New York cases. Two of the prosecutions
were broad in federal court by a special council, Jack Smith.
The other two were broaden state courts, one in Atlanta,
down in Fulton County, and one in a state court
in Manhattan. He writes, this the federal cases are history.

(25:02):
Mister Smith plans to resign with other members of his
team before Trump takes office in January. According to a
report right here in the New York Times, he's now
trying to determine how best to wind down the cases
which accused mister Trump aplotting to overturn the twenty twenty
election and illegally possessing classified documents, he says. But then

(25:22):
there are the state charges over which President Trump has
no control. A central pillar, he writes, of American democracy
is that no man is above the law. But mister
Trump isn't an ordinary man. Moreover, he writes, the state
cases against him invoke legal strategies that had never been

(25:45):
used to criminalize the behavior that prosecutors charge. This is
an amazing admission against interest, as what US lawyers call it.
When you admit to your readers of your essay or
your opinion piece in the New York Times, that the
cases brought in New York used statutes that had never

(26:10):
been used before to criminalize behavior that had never been
criminalized before. And you did that in the case of
one single individual, Donald J. Trump, who just happened to
be a former president and happened to be the nominee
for president and now is the president elect. When you

(26:33):
start doing that, that's in essence, targeting a single individual
for political persecution, not to seek justice. And never forget
that the proper and the appropriate purpose of a prosecutor
is to seek justice, not to persecute. Goadsing goes on

(26:58):
to write this, rightly or wrongly, they these cases in
state court carry the stench of politics, and if pursued,
could lay the groundwork for political prosecutions of future presidents.
The theory in the Manhattan case, he says, in which
a jury convicted him of thirty four felonies, was that

(27:19):
mister Trump tried to improve his chance of being elected
president by paying off a porn star and then manipulated
his financial statements to govern with the payment. His lawyers
have had asked the judge to toss out both the
indictment and the conviction, pointing to the Supreme Court's recent
decision on presidential immunity. One of them has also argued
that the stay putting the case on hold and dismissal

(27:41):
are necessary to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump's ability
to govern. You know what shocks me about this. This
is the first objective statement that I've heard from a
Democrat progressive lawyer about the presidential the Supreme Court's decision

(28:03):
in the presidential immunity cases. Because the Supreme Court ruled
that a president has absolute immunity when it comes to
fulfilling his constitutional presidential duties. And he's saying here that
the stay and dismissal of the state cases are necessary

(28:23):
to avoid unconstitutional impediments to Donald Trump's ability to actually
govern and do his job as president. This is the
proverbial crack in the dam. This is the proverbial hole
in the dike. This is the you know what this
is like, except it's going in the opposite direction. This

(28:46):
is like when George Clooney wrote that editorial in the
New York Times that said Hey, I just saw President
Biden at a fundraiser in Los Angeles, and he looked frail,
and I don't think he's up to the job. And
I think we ought to consider replacing him because I
don't think he has the stamina to be president. And
what was that? That was the shot shot heard cross

(29:07):
the bow? Well, this editorial in the New York Times
is also the shot across the bow, and it's from
the equivalent of a George Clooney in this case, al
Gore's lawyer in the recount case, all the way back
from the two thousand presidential election and the case of
Bush v. Gore, saying again in the New York Times, Hey, listen,

(29:28):
all you prosecutors. I'm telling you, as a guy who
represented al Gore in one of the most major Supreme
Court cases, that you need to dismiss these cases. The
SHOT's been fired and the winning just continues. It's the
Weekend of Michael Brown. Don't forget Texas word Mike or
Michael to three to three, one zero three. I'll be

(29:49):
back in a minute. Hey, welcome back to the Weekend
with Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me. Be

(30:10):
button and that would get automatically download for you all
of the weekday programs and the weekend programs, so you
get six days of meet and a fantastic So I'm
going to go back to the fact that winning is
already occurring. And while I don't want everyone's expectations to
get too high, I think two things have occurred here.

(30:34):
Democrats have realized that their progressive Marxist policies have been
soundly rejected by the majority of the American electorate. We've
looked at our pocket books, We've looked at our taxes,
We've looked at the interest rates, we've looked at home values,
We've looked at everything, and we said, this just isn't working.

(30:57):
And then we've learned from COVID. Never forget COVID. We
I think COVID did more to teach the public about
supply chains. The aspirin that you buy doesn't come from
a manufacturing plant in Houston, Texas. It comes from China.

(31:20):
Your antibiotics. A lot of your OTC over the counter
medications come from a foreign country. A lot of the
products that we take for granted come from foreign countries.
And if we're going to allow our enemies to control that,
then they can cut us off any time. Now China
is in such bad position right now economically, they would

(31:42):
be stupid to do so. But nonetheless, it taught us
a lesson. It also taught us to be a lot
more strong of personal advocates when it comes to our
own health care, and that we can't necessarily trust, particularly
if it is is from a government health organization. You know,

(32:04):
you should still trust your own doctor, and you should
still advocate for yourself in front of your own personal physician.
But nonetheless, when it comes to the CDC, the FDA,
the NIH, the NIAI D, all of these that no,
you can't trust them. They have politicized science. And then
you bring it back down to something on the legal side,

(32:25):
like these cases against Donald Trump, and you realize what
we've been saying all along. Every time that Trump would
give a speech and he would talk about these unjust
political prosecutions, the left would howl and they would talk about, oh,
there he goes again, claim me how he's being persecuted. Well,

(32:48):
we know it's true when the left's own lawyers. This
isn't some little editorial in some little podunk newspaper. This
isn't editorial in the freaking New York Times, the bible
of the political left. The old Gray Lady herself published this,
and just like George Clooney's editorial, was a signal to

(33:12):
Democrats to hey, get Biden out of here. Whether that
was a good decision or bad decisions as well, that's
for democrats to figure out. I think it was a
brilliant decision. Should have been done a long time ago.
Not that that would have been in our best interest,
but it would have been in the country's best interests Here,
he's pointing out that these cases are purely political and

(33:38):
that they need to be dismissed. He writes, for many Democrats,
dismissing these cases, particularly the state cases, the ones in
Georgia and in New York, dismissing these cases feels profoundly
wrong because they Democrats see them as the last chance
to bring mister Trump to justice. In truth, he says

(33:59):
support for the case among many Democrats doesn't seem to
be based on confidence in the prosecutor's legal theories and evidence. Instead,
it seems to be driven by politics and hatred of
Donald Trump, and that reinforces why they must be dismissed.
You may think that I'm making too big of a

(34:20):
deal of this. You gotta trust me on this one.
When the New York Times, because remember, anybody can write
an editorial. You can write an editorial, and you can
submit it to the New York Times, the likelihood of
your editorial getting published pretty close to nil. The likelihood

(34:42):
of even me doing an editorial in the New York Times,
and depending on whether anybody really reads it or not,
pretty close to nil. But when a leading liberal Democrat
lawyer writes an editorial that goes against the grain of
what the Democrat Party is doing, and The New York

(35:04):
Times publishes it, that's the New York Times editorial board
and those that they answer to in the Democrat Party
because they are the voice of the Democrat Party. That's
them saying it's time to drop the cases. And they
give you some pretty good stats. For example, the New

(35:27):
York case brought by a prosecutor elected in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg,
were more than eighty percent of the voters cast their
ballot for Kamala Harris, and that's where the jury pool
was drawn from. The Georgia case, he says, brought in
Fulton County, Georgia and Atlanta were more than seventy percent
of voters cast their ballots for Kamala Harris. That is

(35:47):
where the prosecutor was elected, and that's where the jurors
were drawn from. He says Democrats should imagine instead that
charges were brought in Texas or Alabama against Joe Biden
using novel and untest it approaches challenging how he spent
money while campaigning. Those cases would be brought by hardcore
Republican prosecutors before juries and judges and deeply Republican counties,

(36:11):
and the justice of the state supreme courts would have
all been selected in partisan elections, and every single one
as a Republican and to us, he writes, as Democrats,
that would seem outrageous. He makes a damn good case. Now,
whether Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor in Manhattan or Leticia James,

(36:32):
the Attorney general in New York, will pay any attention,
I'm not sure really makes any difference because they may
not pay any attention, but their donors and those who
help get them elected are paying attention. I suspect the
cases will be dropped just the weekend with Michael Brown.

(36:53):
Stay tight, I'll be right back.
