p state instead of recoiling we should rally because it's the deep state that's protecting you from Trump. That's actually in the news. The New York Times is telling you that the deep state is really important and valuable because it can protect you from people like Trump. How in the world, I mean how do you not be embarrassed working for that company? Anyway on another topic this is changing qui…

sident?

Now the fact that Letitia James said she was going to go after him but didn't know what she was going after him for and then they searched until they found something. How is that not illegal? There's no law against that. There's no law against saying I'm going after somebody and then going and looking for a crime and then finding a victimless crime and taking his whole business away from him maybe putting him in jail. How in the world is that not illegal?

So I'm going to make a prediction that karma is going to be quite a bitch for Letitia James. Here's what I think's going to happen. I think that there'll be enough enemies of hers that they will put enormous resources into looking into any crime she may have committed and that they will do to her what she did to Trump. And God I hope so because you need mutually assured destruction. When you watch somebody destroying somebody because they're white that's really what it is. If Trump were not, if Trump were black none of this would be happening. He's being destroyed primarily for being white and Republican I guess. And I think that the perfect response would be in a perfectly legal way not anything illegal that people should start turning over every rock and talking to everybody she's ever worked with until they find a crime. Do you think you couldn't find a crime with pretty much anybody if you look hard enough? Of course you can. You'd find like a process crime or some exaggeration you could call a lie. Yeah you could find something.

So my prediction is that a year from now there's a good chance that Trump will be president and Letitia James will be in prison unless she's appealing it but I think the odds of her never having, well let me put it this way. We've all seen how she acts in public right. We've seen her dance with glee about the mounting problems for Trump. We saw her target him for purely political and personal reasons and then follow up on it and destroy somebody that you know many of you would like to be president. Now given what she's done in public that you can observe with your own eyes is there any question in your mind that she's a criminal in other ways? I've never seen anybody who acts like she acts the parts we can see who didn't also have a criminal background. I've never seen that. That honest people don't act anything like the way she's acting. So if you tell me oh no there was just this one time when she decided to ignore the Constitution and the laws of our country and spit on everything that's good. No no there's a really high chance she's got a whole bunch of crimes in her past and you just have to look for them. And I would imagine that a tremendous amount of money has already been allocated to pay people to look for it. And if the Republicans are not doing that I'd be pretty disappointed but they probably are.

All right. And as Dershowitz warns if Trump is kept from running or maybe he loses because of lawfare that will not be deemed a credible outcome. Certainly I would not say that was a fair election if the lawfare takes him out.

All right. Democrats as I've often said what passes as a disagreement is often Democrats not knowing how anything works. Have you noticed that it looks like it's a disagreement like some philosophical thing but it's not. It's just Democrats literally don't have the background and experience in

many cases to understand how anything works. Republicans tend to be business people who succeeded in business and maybe became a senator later. You know they ran some kind of a serious enterprise and then maybe ran for office. But there are a lot of Democrats who never had any kind of business experience. Let me give you some real world examples. I saw a user on X, Michael Harriot, who is explain…
