gged. That's all him. That's all Trump. Now you can say other people are saying it too and that's true. But only because he said it first. If Trump hadn't kept this up it would have died out like every other election where somebody says it's rigged and then they forget about it. So that's amazing. Now I believe that the way the question was asked has the most to do with how we got this big number…

How many of you saw Trump's interview with Hannity last night? I guess the first major interview since the boxes at Mar-a-Lago were an issue. And if you saw it, how do you think he did? Because I haven't seen him in that specific context in a while where he had to answer some questions. I mean they were friendly questions but they were important questions. I don't think Hannity avoided the big questions. You could argue whether he hammered down on the follow-up as hard as he should have. I don't think he did. But I thought he did a solid job. I think somebody less friendly to the president, because they're famously friends, right? Everybody knows that they're actually personal friends. So you don't really expect a hardball interview. And as long as that's fully disclosed, you know the president's my personal friend, that's not the biggest problem, right? I also didn't mind watching the Cuomo brothers on TV. I'm the only person in the world who said that's fine. It's fully disclosed. If you know it's his brother you can handle that, can't you? I mean you might not find it entertaining but if you know he's talking to his own brother at least you can modify that in your mind to say okay, don't believe that this is a real interview. So the Hannity and Trump thing I think is more of an event than an interview. Would you agree? It's more of an event than any kind of hard-hitting interview. And that's fine. That's not a criticism. It's completely fine because there can be hard-hitting interviews. Trump does those too, right? But as long as you know that Hannity and Trump are friends you know what you're getting.
All right. Here's my take. So Trump's explanation, I'm going to paraphrase here because it was a long interview, but I'm going to paraphrase Trump's explanation of what was going on with those documents and those boxes at Mar-a-Lago. And here's the funny part. When you hear Trump explain it now, again I don't know if

it's true. I'm not saying I automatically believe anything about this story or any person. All right? I'm not saying that. I'm just reporting what happened. That Trump's explanation is the most obvious explanation. What would be the most obvious explanation of all this? He didn't have anything to do with what went in the boxes and he didn't know what was in there. That's the most obvious explanati…
