respect your right to vote, and that the klan act had to be used against him because of his attempt of theft, and cool, because it was not just a coup against the constitution, it was a coup against you. it was essentially saying that your vote is criminal. i would go to georgia and say remember ruby freeman and shaye moss were called drug dealers for attempting to help you vote. there were people who were trying to help their community vote, filipino voters in arizona had an attempted robbery committed against them, right? that voters in wisconsin, and all of these places had an attempted theft committed against them and that is the case for reelecting biden if you are a democrat. but i have to redo one thing, rachel, you love to do that, can i just do one quick dramatic reading for you? because i just pulled it up. ron desantis, today, he put out a statement. and he says as president, i
you might have made the point earlier that the panel made that the idea of saving democracy actually turned out to be a powerful factor in the midterms, as did abortion. but i am with alex. if i am the biden campaign, to go back to my old world of being in a campaign world i would go to each of these states, because one of the things that the democrats are a bit concerned about is, they are always concerned low-key about black male turnout. the turnout of black voters. i hope that it will be as robust as they needed to be to win. and obviously they are always concerned about the drift of some latino voters toward the republicans. well, if i am them, i am going to wisconsin, i am going to arizona, you know, i am going to detroit, to michigan, i am going to each of these states, to new mexico, to all of these states where the robbery was attempted, and make the case that this man attempted to steal your votes, doesn t
of course. and once that stops once you stop being loyal, specific to, him and following his message well, now you get cutoff. and it s not that it s not just that the legal bills become yours. the headaches all become yours as well. because he exacerbates them by doing the things that he does best, which, is on social media, attacks and so on. what is it like, though? i mean, as someone who worked for donald trump, had representation paid for by downtown, biden flipped on donald trump, what is that decision like? when you make the calculation, i can t i m going to have to get my own council. i m not going to be able to pay for those bills. but i cannot look at myself in the mirror and go along doing the bidding for this man, who is criminally guilty who is guilty of unethical, if not, criminal behavior. what is that calculation like? it s very difficult. first of all, in my case it wasn t about the money. it is a whole another thing. you can read about it in the book
impeach plenty of cabinet members, maybe the president, all sorts of people, earlier this year. they hired a bunch of smart communications people and strategists at different agencies to prepare for that. but they couldn t really get their acts together. they are literally sitting around, like ready to they are ready! they are ready with their phones and everything, exactly. it s clearly very political. of course, you have to take everything seriously. right. but this was a case with even and i thought this was so interesting i think it was election post. some outlets reported this week that vulnerable republicans in the house do not want mccarthy to move forward with this. yes. and that is generally who you listen to when you are speaker, and you want to remain speaker. so, he s moving forward with this, and this is an awkward problem for kevin mccarthy. he s moving forward with his because he wants to appease his donald trump but he s going to have all these mem
remedy. in terms of the case, it is hard to not see this as very strong. you don t have to be or to go to law school to know he had classified documents, he was hiding them, they were found after an fbi search, you have people who say he lied to me and told me to lie to the government, he told me to get rid of tapes, surveillance tapes. this is a pretty rudimentary obvious scheme. this is where i think a jury is not going to be like okay this is an arcane issue and why should i care? there it s this why should i care, all you have to do is look at the description of the classified documents. i was in the intelligence community. i don t think you need to be to understand how much this hurts the american public and their safety. to my mind, this case kind of has everything. and i didn t go to law school, and i m not an investigator. i check all those boxes.
