election, we re still uncovering more attempts by donald trump to overturn results. according to a new report in the washington post, president trump tried to pressure doug ducey to overturn the election results, saying if now fraudulent votes could be found, it could overcome trump s narrow loss in arizona. we re learning about the content of this conversation for the first time. we already knew trump and ducey spoke after the 2020 election. trump tried to call ducey while he was certifying the election for biden on an official government live stream. on 2020, ducey was literally signing the papers to end the election, seated in front of the press. but you have to listen carefully. you can make out hail to the chief as ducey reaches into his pocket to silence the call. the ring tone is just
what he s going to say to the fake elector plot is look, it wasn t me. i was following the advice of my attorneys. so this goes to what i call the wino lawyer defense. if you say you don t want to pay your taxes, you can t say, i don t want to pay my taxes and three finger jim over there says that actually tax law is unconstitutional i don t have to pay it. if every other lawyer in the room is saying no, you have to pay your taxes, you can t just choose to believe the random one who is telling you what you want to hear. what they re probably investigating while they re going deep on giuliani and powell is to try to see, was powell the only person saying this crazy stuff? because if so, that s not a good defense for donald trump. let s talk about rudy giuliani. i mean, eight hours. what is it they re trying to learn from rudy giuliani in those eight hours and for those of us who did not actually get law degrees but watched a lot of law & order, this idea of a proffer agreement, sittin
recordings that you should be concerned with, because i don t do things wrong. i do things right. i m a legitimate person. he is a legitimate person who does not do things wrong. but besides the evidence laid out in the diet, and besides the tape of claiming to show trump op iran that he says is his second, on saturday, former white house press secretary said she saw her ex-boss show classified documents at mar-a-lago. you know donald trump. it is plausible trump was showing classified documents to people in private meetings? the short answer is yes. i watched him show documents to people at mar-a-lago on the dining room patio. so he has no respect for classified information, never did. joining me once again, harry litman, danya perry and flip. what did you make of stephanie grisham s statement that she saw trump showing people classified

person until after the convention. if donald trump is the nominee, the republican party will get killed. we ll get creamed. we ll lose. we ll deserve it s. that was south carolina republican senator lindsey graham s original take on donald trump, slamming him as kook and bigot. since then graham has changed his tune, turning into one of trump s most faithful supporters. the pair often go golfing together. he appeared on national television, choking up as he stumped bid and solicited money from viewers. his first indictment here in new york. reporter: 2024 is the most important election in my lifetime. america literally is at stake, as we know it is as stake as we know it. i m sorry, i m so upset. but please help president trump. if you can afford 5 or $10, if you can t aied for a dollar, fine. just pray. make sure you vote as early as you can in your state.
