the top of the list would be president donald j. trump this would now be his fourth indictment. um one big difference that we would see in this case, probably versus the other three. previous indictments would be georgia sunshine laws, likelihood of this being on television is probably great. will that be impactful to the american people? more so than the other cases? well we ll be. the other big distinction is that the cases brought by jack smith are subject to presidential pardon , including the possibility of a self pardoned by donald trump if he s re elected, the new york and georgia cases are not subject to federal pardon authority. uh the suggestion is that they re not just 10 indictments, but that it s based on rico, and that s a favorite tool of this particular prosecutor. it requires the pattern to be shown usually a fraud that ties these people together. this is a lot of indictment. obviously
strategist strategically bridged into the news department. so that s out in the public record. now, um one of the big questions has been would testing the actual malice precedent this six decades old president president from 1964. would that be good for the free press and the first amendment, or would that be bad if the actual malice standard were overturned a weakened in some way because of the settlement, and ellie could probably speak to this more eloquently than any of us, um, that doesn t get tested. and so the first amendment for news organizations is, you know, has the same legal protections. but if you do this kind of stuff. you can be forced to settle because it s too risky to go all the way one of the things that came out during discovery discovery process was that fox essentially was afraid of alienating its audience that they kept repeating the lies because they didn t want to lose viewers to o a n or newsmax or somebody else out there in the right wing media. specter so th
venue. and what they saw. it s their victims in this, their their families are victims of this, and you know the ripple effect of this, you know, it s kind of like a wave rolling across lake martin. but that ripple didn t stop when it when it hit the banks. there are other communities involved their kids from real town here, um one of the ones in critical condition had gone to the prom that night. in real town. there s kids from talis e kids from booker t. w kids from alexander city. um, we haven t even identified possibly. you know where all some of these kids came from, and it s a traumatic thing. for them and if they need help, you know our services are available for them as well. uh, and talking about the victims. i ll share something with you. i m gonna try not to get emotional and i m
on, please talk to us about it. i spoke to my mom just before i got on air. they re running out of food. most shops are closed. in fact, all shops are closed. the banks are closed. there was an attempt at a humanitarian corridor or a claim that a humanitarian corridor yesterday when, um one of the people working for my parents was able to get to the shop and get some flour is also this is the last week of the holy month. ramadan i spoke to some of my cousins who are lying on the floor with their children. and i say this with the awareness that my family is still incredibly lucky because they are not in areas. neighboring garrisons, which is where some of the fighting has been strongest. but frankly, there s a garrison four streets away from my parents house. it s really. really terrifying. i mean, my parents would hate that. i m getting emotional because, of course, they are just angry. like so many
because my kids told me that s awesome. um, lee, you were saying that listening to boomers use any type of slang is unbearable for you. it s pretty bad. yeah pretty pretty pretty cringe as as you might say. even can you give us an example of a recent time you ve heard of boomer say something i live in a community where there are a lot of boomers around, so i see a lot of ladies out to lunch at the local coffee shop. and i heard a group of them. um one of them was saying slay the other day, so i m like, oh, this is just creeped up into like completely unacceptable level. and um, i did i like i did physically cringe. do you feel that same way when gen xers employ these things? no i guess i ve realized i just have total generosity of spirit towards gen xers. they just do not bother me
