believe that white people are why the ethnic studies are being taught in school? Now I do believe that probably in this particular school there might be more white people and therefore they might be the majority that are voting for it, right? But let me ask you this. If the black population of this same area in Minnesota, if the black population did not want ethnic studies, do you think that the w…

Cuomo continues, "It's a coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump and Tish James goes after Trump and Georgia goes after Trump. That's all a coincidence. I think it feeds the citizens and that's the cancer in our body politic right now."
If you can't convince Andrew Cuomo that this, that the Stormy Daniels thing is real, even Andrew Cuomo, very Democrat, says no this it's not real it's just political. All three of them. All three of them.
So the Georgia find the votes. Do you really think there's any chance that Trump is in legal trouble for saying find votes? No. You don't have to be Alan Dershowitz to know you couldn't possibly prosecute them for using the words find votes. You know the news is trying to say he pressured, he did all this thing. But when you come down to it you have to look at what he said and what he said does not indicate a crime. So there's no risk in that.
The January 6 protests, peacefully. He's been looked into completely. There's nothing there. There's no prosecution that's going to happen there.
How about those Mar-a-Lago documents? Well it's a little awkward now that Joe Biden has some documents isn't it?
So there are four legal problems for Trump and all four of them help him. All four of them help him because there's no way he's getting prosecuted for any of this or if it is it would be a misdemeanor or something. And all it does is, as Andrew Cuomo says accurately, it just feeds the anger and cynicism.
Do you think that has anything to do with why his Waco rally was huge? Very successful Waco rally apparently. Yeah I feel like these attacks on Trump are making him stronger at the moment. I also feel that the only reason that DeSantis was looking so good is that Trump was removing himself from the news for so long. Have you noticed that the moment Trump gets close to powering up, like he's just starting to power up into full strength, as soon as he does DeSantis disappears doesn't he? And I mean in terms of the wattage, you know just the energy. Like Trump is just infinitely interesting. They love him or hate him he's interesting. And DeSantis, I try to be interested in him but I have to work at it. Would you agree? I want this to be interesting. Do I have to kind of put a little effort into finding out what he's up to? But with Trump it's like yeah, I do support Trump, entertain me. Like I'm just automatically drawn to that energy and it doesn't have to do with policy. It's not about policy because I don't have a big difference in policy between the two of them that has animated me right now.
Well so I would say that if Trump just stays healthy and doesn't create some new issue he should waltz right into the nomination. What do you think? Yeah. Now I'm still endorsing the Vivek Ramaswamy because I think we need somebody younger and I think that Trump is insanely divisive. Now he's divisive not because of what he says exactly but because of the way the Democrats are going to treat him. So Trump is divisive the same way Obama was. You put Obama in office and you know Fox News is going to go crazy on him for eight years. You put Trump in office you know CNN, MSNBC, you're going to go crazy on it for eight years. But I don't know that that would be different with anybody else. Maybe less wattage. You know DeSantis would be more of a boring muted attack or something. But it's I think we're at the point where it's going to be full-scale war no matter whether it's a Democrat or a Republican. Probably doesn't matter.
All right, Trump is getting some pushback because he's saying that if he gets indicted or arrested for this Stormy Daniels stuff that there could be what is known by all that no crime has been committed talking about the Stormy Daniels payments and also known the potential death and destruction. Destruction is such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country. So Trump is basically saying that his supporters might turn to death and destruction if he's charged. That's not ideal is it? That's not ideal. But you know what else? It's also honest. It's hard for me to get like I want to not like this because it seems so unproductive but I can't fault him for being honest. There is a risk of death and destruction and I don't mean and I certainly don't mean that to be any kind of like warning or anything like that. I'm just saying it as an objective fact. It's probably true. Now I don't think it'd be massive. You know you use this hyperbole but I think there could be trouble. And the trouble would be because the charges would be so obviously political as Andrew Cuomo points out. Everybody can see it's political.
So do you want to live in the country where, let me ask you this, would you be happier living in the country where Trump could be arrested on an obviously false charge to take him off and there would be no violence? No violence. Is that the country you want to live in? That somebody can be taken off the field for obviously not legal means, obviously not legal. Now I think you want to live in a country where violence is on the table. I don't recommend it. Do not recommend it. I want to be as clear as possible. Do not recommend violence. But I don't want to live in a country where it's not on the table. So I'm going to say this. It's on the table. It's just on the table. I don't recommend it but let's not kid ourselves. If you take down the president on bogus charges that are obviously bogus yeah there could be

some violence. And I don't want to live in a country where that's not true. At the same time I don't want any violence. All right I don't know if you noticed that Trump is jumping on the Bill Maher comment that DeSantis is the tribute band. You may remember I told you that once you hear that DeSantis is the tribute band that's like a kill shot. I was wondering how long it would take Trump to repe…
