The Blame Game

my absolute and continued fucking annoyance with mainstream media. So you know, at the end of last week, uh, Mike Allen at Axios decided to put up an article where once again the mainstream media, along with many Democrats right, want to preempt their mid term election failure, right which you know is several months away, but they want to preempt that failure by pinning it on whom not Joe Mansion and Kirsten Cinema, the two white obstructionists who have

been the sole reasons as to Biden's agenda being pretty

much dead in the water. Outside of physical infrastructure, we have no voting rights, we have no police reform, We have kind of mixed mixed bag as it pertains to the human Infrastructure Bill, which is stalled because Joe Mansion doesn't believe that family should have child tax credits or parental leave, and so in this article written by Mike Allen att Axios, they've decided to begin to begin their blame game on the Squad, saying that the squad's liberal

politics is backfiring in a very real way. Do you

know what's backfiring bullshit right now? What is backfiring is the fact that the Biden administration, Joe Biden, our president, believed that he was going to be able to waltz into the White House, into this administration, and go back onto the hill with his white cronies and get them to side with him over you know, a glass of scotch in some conversation that he apparently hadn't been paying attention to the last four years under Donald Trump and

to his time as vice president under Barack Obama to recognize who these people actually are and who they've become. Right, and then you get into office and it's not only Republicans that you're battling against, but you're battling against the

so called bullshit moderates, which they are not moderates. I am so fucking tired of us referring to Joe Mansion, who is a Republican in fucking sheep's clothing, alongside Cinema, who is also a Republican in sheep's clothing, as moderates, right, because that gives that language allows people to think that, oh, you know, that they want change, but that those of us who are progressive and coin ourselves as liberal are just pushing too far, too much right, as if we

should be slow rolling our progress after the fucking steamroll job that the Trump administration and Republicans did over the last four years, and what is happening at the state and fucking local level, as it pertains to voting restrictions and suppression, as it pertains to book banning right and changing of public school education curriculum to ensure that white people and white children are not uncomfortable with, you know,

the reality of America. So, instead of once again shining the spotlight on white people and white members of Congress who don't actually want progress because it is not good for their own bottom line, for their own pocketbooks and wallets, right, instead of the focus being on that, they have decided to begin the spin job and tell us that the reason why Democrats are failing is because they're too fucking liberal. Folks. Here's the thing, and this is a thing that continues

to piss me off about Democrats. And I'm telling you, I'm kind of getting to a place where I want to say that I'm one of those bullshit independents, because it is embarrassing at this point in time to be referring to myself as a Democrat a party that doesn't actually give a shit about me. That they want to come around, right and pander to the black community, pander to brown communities and say, oh, we need your vote, right, and then they disappear for two four years at a time.

And then when they fail to meet the agenda of those communities and they fail to increase excitement and enthusiasm around the policies that they're putting forward or their campaign promises that they continue to fucking break, then all of a sudden they turn around and they want to blame us for their inadequacies, right, And I'm tired of the same cycle over and over and over again, because, frankly,

here's the thing. You see what Republicans are doing with their younger right, their freshmen and sophomore classes of folks, those fucking fringe right wing crazy, batshit crazy people. Marjorie Taylor Green, Laura Boubert, this is the face of the Republican Party. This is who they are. And you would think, right that if Republicans can embrace crazy and say that

these people are their future. How is it that we are still in a place where we don't recognize that the AOC's, the Rashida Telebs, the Ayana Pressley's are actually the future of the Democratic Party. They are not the future.

They are the now, because they are the ones that are telling it like it is and are seeing, right, our democracy go down the toilet, are seeing the fact that if we do not intervene in the climate crisis, which we are all currently experiencing with major shifts in whether this summer, I mean this winter, right which feels right like spring is happening in February, when one day it's sixty five degrees in New York and then the next day there's a snowstorm, and that is actually a

trend that is happening across the country. So we're's experiencing climate change in real action. And yet they're being looked at as lunatics for wanting us to move forward with a Green New Deal, right that, because they talk about voter suppression and what is happening in the fact that we actually need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act that no they're seen as pushing too much. I

don't understand what Democrats are thinking right now. I don't understand how they think that throwing throwing the progressive people of color in their party who are willing to stand up and tell the truth about white supremacy, that are willing to stand up and tell the truth about obstructionism, that are willing to stand up and tell the truth right about who their friends and foes actually are and

that they are within their own party. That this is who you're choosing to throw under the bus and allow Mansion and Cinema off scott free, Like those are the people that the fucking administration wants to invite over for

coffee and tea to come to some agreement. But you want to throw out the squad, go fuck yourself, because I'm telling you that the decisions that are being made right now, right about this kind of mainstream drip and dribble of news that's saying who we're going to blame it is going to backfire big time on Democrats, and

it will not be the fault of the squad. It will be the fault of the inadequate, fucking, spineless white members of Congress who have decided that, you know what, equity is just a little too much and a little too soon, and I'm simply I'm over it. And they're going to watch in droves as people of color decide to stay the fuck home, right, as young people who

you continue to give out drips and drabs. They've asking for student loan debt relief, right to erase it, to take off the anchor that is holding these people back from being able to contribute more to our economy, which apparently is more important than anything. Right, relieving that student loan debt is what can jump start us. But no right, because greed is good. As I've said so many times before, we are a country filled with Gordon Geckos, Right, That's

who we are. And it is so easy and typical right for white mainstream media to once again who is going to be their battering ram, And it's going to be the people of color that dare to speak out, that dare to say that our policies are unjust and that our democracy is failing, and that we need to we need a new agenda. But those are the people that you go after, not the mansions, not the cinemas.

And I'm tired, tired of it. So Mike Allen and Axios in your stories and everyone else that's getting ready to piggyback off of that bullshit, I see you, and I'm gonna call you the fuck out friends on some good news, just a little bit right, I want to transition into a little bit of hope. Coming up next is my weekly conversation with our friend host of Justice

Matters and MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirshner. Over at the end of last week and over the weekend, news broke that there was actually progress made on the part of the civil case that is being put together by New York Age Tish James against the Trump organization that she right has been granted the ability to be able to depose not only Donald Trump but his fucking spawn right,

the whole crime Operation family. They have one one possible move left, which is to appeal to the New York State Supreme Court, which Glenn will tell us in our upcoming interview will most likely be slapped down. But folks, I know it. We've been collectively holding our breath. We've been collectively trying to wait patiently for justice to prevail.

But I want to get your thoughts on whether or not you think after listening to this interview, if we are finally finally approaching that time that Donald Trump and his family of criminals have finally run out of rope. That conversation is coming up next. Folks. You know that I am always so excited when we have our friend MSNBC legal analyst and host of Justice Matter, Glenn Kirschner, to join us to walk through the latest in all

of the legal news surrounding Donald Trump. Now, Glenn, last week, we ended the week annoyed, right because we are still waiting for the Department of Justice to come out heavy

to actually hold these criminals accountable. But some news out of New York, which you and I have been talking about, New York Attorney General Letitia James is now going to be able to question not only Donald Trump, but to question what I refer to as his spawn, because I cannot stand that the media refers to forty year old

people as children and infantilizes the Trump spawn. So tell us why this move in New York is significant, and because we have two states right that we've been keeping an eye on, Georgia and New York because again, the Department of justice, in my eyesight, is nowhere to be found in terms of what kind of investigation that they're doing into Trump. Give us the latest out of New York yet, Danielle, it's not just the ruling that was made by this New York State Court judge, Judge Arthur Endgaron.

I hope I'm pronouncing his name right, But it's what he put, what he disclosed in his eight page ruling that he just issued. So this is actually a fairly routine battle over whether somebody will have to comply with a subpoena. We call it a motion to quash. These things get litigated in every jurisdiction every day around the country. This one's notable because it's for Donald Trump and Don

Junior and Ivanka. But so the judge not only rejected Donald Trump's claim that he shouldn't be forced to sit for a deposition in a G. James civil fraud investigation. But here are a couple of things. He said that in my thirty years of prosecutor, I haven't seen judges put this kind of stuff in their orders in these kind of routine motions. He said, I reviewed thousands of pages of documents that ag james office subpoenaed from Trump and the Trump Organization, and after he reviewed all of

that evidence. Here's what he said, and I'm going to quote it. When a state attorney general commences an investigation and uncovers copious evidence of possible financial fraud, she has an absolute right to question under oath the organization's namesake, Donald Trump. And then he added that if Attorney General James had not opened this investigation and had not subpoenaed Trump and Don Junior and Avanca, it would have been

quote a derrell of duty. In other words, this judge has seen so much evidence of fraud that he dumped those findings and conclusions into this eight page ruling, which I urge everybody to read, and it's a really ominous sign. I know, we feel like the investigative circle has been tightening around Donald Trump forever. That doesn't mean that's not true, but you know, we're frustrated, we're impatient, we're tired of

a lack of accountability. And I did a long video yesterday about how we have to try to balance that frustration with the need for patients in what is an unprecedented series of crimes by our highest government. Officials. So let's give it. Let's provide a bit of a recap, right, because again to your point, there are so many cases pending against Donald Trump. So with New York, this is a civil case, right, This is about the Trump organization

as a whole and their fraudulent behavior. This is it similar to the way that Letitia James that New York ag was able to shut down the foundation? Is this is this the similar kind of mode of operation that New York is taking now with the entirety of the of the Trump organization. It is this is basically a

civil financial fraud case. Just as Tish James went after the Trump Foundation, the charitable foundation and shut it down and made them pay fines and penalties, just as they went after the Trump University sham and shut it down

and made them pay fines and penalties. Danielle, the smart money right now is on Tish James completely shuttering the Trump organization in its entirety and bankrupting it by making them pay huge fines and penalties and perhaps restitution and back taxes to the city and the state, hopefully ultimately defense. This is really the death knell of the Trump organization. But don't forget. There's also a tandem criminal investigation being

conducted by Alvin Bragg, the District Attorney in Manhattan. The organization has criminally indicted Alan Weisselberg, the chief financial officer, is criminally indicted, and Donald Trump is up next. I would bet a buck on it. Okay, So here we have now the New York has been working in tandem with one with one another with a civil investigation, a

criminal investigation, all including the Trump organization. When we say the Trump organization, this is their real estate businesses, I'm assuming right, all of the licensers and things that they and things that they do. Is it possible though that? What what do you anticipate? And again Trump does not surround himself with the best or the brightest. What do you anticipate the defense to be? The understanding around the pushback with regard to the deposit is what Trump is

above the law, He's president. What were what was the pushback from the Trump lawyers and what do you anticipate the maneuvers or the sliminess that I'm referring not you, that they will try and do to outmaneuver Tiss James and getting Donald Trump in front of a camera in a room to ask him questions. So they really tried to make two They tried two things in defense of, you know, trying to avoid these subpoenas. They said, Tiss

James is biased against us. The judge said, nonsense, Just because a prosecutor dislikes you doesn't mean they can't prosecute you. So the judge completely rejected that. And then the second was that somehow Donald Trump is being selectively prosecuted based on a protected class, And the judge said, what class would that be? Race, religion, gender, nicity. Yeah, denied they had no principle basis for their claim that they shouldn't be forced to sit in a deposition in a civil case.

And I'll tell you, Danielle, the judge threw real shade at the Trump lawyers when he said right in the middle, he compared them to George Orwell and specifically said, yeah, this is like George Orwell, war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. And then he added, and it's kind of like quote alternative facts. So he even in his motion threw some shade at Kelly Anne Conway propagandist that she is lumped her together with George Orwell. A

beautiful move. And that was in response, mind you, to the Trump lawyers saying, when our accounting firm Massars walked away from us and said they're walking away from ten years of their accounting work because inferentially the Trump organization gave them our Bidge numbers. They said, that's a complete exoneration and that should shut down Tiss James civil case and Alvin Bragg's criminal case. And the judge said, I can't let this go unaddressed, and he accused them of

Orwellian propaganda. And I'm glad he did, because it looks like certain segments of the judiciary are sick and tired and fed up with Donald Trump's bs when he tries to weaponize the delay in the court system to work to his advantage and run out the clock. The courts

seem to be done with that. I mean, and this isn't even about the election, but I mean with the frivolousness right of their defense, the cases that they bring, the appeals, the motions that they put in place, like it is nonsense, right, and for people who actually believe in the rule of law, regardless of how you got on the courts to begin with. Right, if you believe in the rule of law, then their behavior is a

slap in the face. Right, So tell us now, because you know I get my law degree from Law and Order on NBC, So tell me, tell us what we can expect and what what what happens in a deposition and will Donald Trump go first? Will it be a

vanka um do? And if they are now because of this motion, by what the judge has said, they're out of appeals, right, so they can't stop one more appeal, Okay, one more appeal to a higher New York state court, which I think will be rejected summarily, hopefully very quickly. But then I can tell you what the depositions will look like, because remember the recent subpoenas were for Donald Trump,

Don Junior, and Ivanka, but Eric was subpoenad previously. He fought it, he lost, He went into that deposition and pled the Fifth Amendment five hundred times. So I can promise you, Danielle, that is precisely what the Trump and Junior and Ivanka Trump depositions will look for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of invocations of their Fifth Amendment right

against self incrimination. But that has consequences in the civil case in Tish James civil fraud investigation, if it goes to trial, it'll probably end up settling somehow and the Trump organization will agree to disband. But if it goes to trial, a civil jury can and will be told Donald Trump and Don Junior and Ivanka pleaded the Fifth and you can use that and draw negative inferences and make it part of your ruling against them in the

civil case. But it can never be introduced at a criminal trial because your Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination says you can invoke it with impunity, and a jury is never allowed to draw a negative inference based on

the fact that you pled the Fifth. And let me tell you, the Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination is much mocked and derided and made fun of only mobsters and this and that it couldn't be a more valuable constitutional right because without it, the police, law enforcement, the government could force us to incriminate ourselves, compel us, coerce us. So I embrace it. I teach my criminal justice students

at GW that we have to embrace these things. Even though yes, people get to hide evidence of their crime by not offering it to the government. That's an important right that we all have. What are the roles that Ivanka and Don Junior have played in the Trump organization? Right? Because here's the thing that has Donald Trump essentially use this his same I don't use phones, I don't use emails, right, I'm not I guess signing any document like? So what

was what are their roles like? Meaning? Has Donald Trump put his family more on the hook for his bad behavior because he's so busy as the mob boss that he is insulating himself right from any from from any any any crimes, that he has left his own family out to dry. Oh, he's put his own family, his own adult children, thank you as you call them, in

the crosshairs. There's no two ways about it. Because you know, Donald Trump thinks he's smart by not putting things in writing, in emails and text messages like mob bosses you know are want to do UM. So that means he talked to his principal officers in the organization. Who would those be Ivanka, Don Junior, Eric Um, this Calamari character, Um,

Alan Weisselberg. So that's why all of these people UM have valuable incriminating information about their dad or their boss, about his organization, and of course they also have information that would incriminate themselves. I gotta tell you, it it wouldn't shock me if an Ivanka Trump said, oh no, no, I'm not going down for daddy. I will go ahead and tell you everything you need. You grant me immunity, I'll write a book, and I'll ride off into the sunset.

Can't you see Ivanka being ruthless enough and probably you know this is not a high bar, but maybe being the smartest one of the Trump clam yeah, to do something like that. Couldn't you see her dad teaching her the value of that kind of a lesson. Sell out your family members, take the loop, get immunity, and ride off into the sunset. I mean, they're the real life succession. If anybody watches that show, I mean, they are the

real life succession. You know. I think that one of the most interesting things here is that you know, well, here's the question, Glenn, what makes what is happening right now? What tissue James? How she is putting the US into this organization? What makes this different than all of the other cases that have been waged against Donald Trump for fraud.

I mean, you know, again, he has had the name teflon Don in New York since the eighties, right because of his illegal behavior, but it's never caught up with him. So is there something that makes this particular case different than all of the other ones that came three decades before, You know, I think it's a tribute to Tish James, because there have been so many prosecutorial failures over the decade,

failures to hold Donald Trump accountable. Why, well, moneyed white men are not the kind of people prosecutors prioritize when they're enforcing the law. Donald Trump has been an unabated crime wave for decades. Did si Vans ever take him on? Remember the one time that Sivance as prosecutors assessed the evidence against I believe it was it was Ivanka and Jared or Ivanka and Don Junior. I don't want to get the combination wrong, and the prosecutors recommended to Sivans

to bring criminal charges. Sivance under overruled the recommendation of his career prosecutors refused to indict the Trump adult spawn and thereafter actually took a campaign contribution from the lawyer representing the Trumps at the time he made that decision. How does that smell? How does that but how Glenn, it smells like crap? So how does that not set off red flags and alarms as to how that decision was made and why it did set off red bells

and alarms. But years later, when Donald Trump became president, now we were fully focusing on his past crimes and transgressions and misdeeds, and this thing bubbled up again. But let me tell you, Tish James is doing what every honest, honorable prosecutor in the country should be doing against Donald Trump. Because he's committed crimes in all fifty jurisdictions, by I believe,

committing the offensive manslaughter for avoidable COVID debts. Every single prosecutor in the country should be dug into the grand jury to see whether there's enough evidence to charge him. And there is, I can tell you as an old homicide prosecutor, there is, so Tish James has the guts to do it, and she's doing it, and she's doing it in the face of withering criticism from Trump in the right wing media, and she doesn't care. That's what

a prosecutor is supposed to do. Prosecute without fear or favor, without prejudice, without animus. She doesn't have to like him, but she does have to prosecute his crimes, and that's what she's doing. So where do we find So you know, it was Alan Wasselbergh's his deposition, him being indicted that kind of jump started all of this. Where is he right now and how much of a threat is his knowledge to the Trump organization at this time? It's a huge threat. Where he is right now I believe is

pending trial. I don't recall if there's a trial date set in the New York State prosecution. But he is indicted on multiple accounts, including a fifteen year scheme of criminal fraud in the first degree, not to mention all sorts of tax transgressions. But so he could help take down Donald Trump. The only question is will he or does he want to spend the rest of his life in prison. That's a decision he has to make for himself. As of right now, we don't know if he has

chosen to cooperate or if he's holding fast. He's going to be a foot soldier for Donald Trump, just like all Donald Trump's insurrectionists and did what he told them to do on January sixth, and now they're going to jail. Maybe Alan Weisselberg is foolish enough to go the same way as the oathkeepers and the rest of them. I don't know. And the accounting firm now, right, are they going to be held accountable? So they have been doing right.

They ended their relationship once they felt the heat being being turned up, but for over a decade they had been the accounting firm of note. So if we know that Alan Weisselberg committed crimes that he is indicted for, is the same thing going to happen to the entirety of the accounting firm that was their firm of record? Maybe?

So I think May's ars when they said we are walking away from Trump and his organization, and we are disavowing the accounting work that we've done for the last ten they're disavowing their own Warrentially, they're disavowing their own work. They're disavowing their own work because by inference, Donald Trump was feeding them garbage numbers, so their work can't be relied on. So I don't want to say that they are in fact criminally culpable as part of this conspiracy

with Donald Trump. But what they made a calculation, right, Often the calculation somebody has to make who's culpably involved and they know the government is coming after them, is do they want to get on the train of cooperation or do they want to get run over by the train. Maysars decided we want to get on the train. And there's no doubt they flipped against Trump and the organization.

And the reporting is the chief accountant responsible for doing the work for the Trump organization has testified against Trump and company. So they've flipped. That doesn't mean they're going to get a complete pass, but they might. Sometimes we give smaller, less important criminal fish a complete pass, will give them immunity if they give us the bigger fish. Sometimes we make them take a bite of a criminal

charge and we make them a cooperating witness. You plead guilty to this reduced charge and testify truthfully about all the crimes you know, and that's the way we will run somebody like that. So we don't know the exact posture of Massaurs other than they've clearly flipped and they're providing information about Trump and company, and that will also help Tank Weisselberg, which might put him over the edge

to cooperation. All right, so final question for you just you know today on this glim is walk us through the timeline. Now, okay, so this news breaks, Donald Trump Junior van can be deposed? How long does that? How long does that process take to get them one by one in and then once they are and how long right our depositions are they? Are they time stamped or can they you know, can they continue as a certain amount of time that you have these people to interview

or not? And then what does it look like what happens after the deposition? So first of all, the judge said, I think within twenty one days, okay, will sit So that's midmar positions. However, they're going to have an opportunity to file an appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. New York has a strange way of labeling their courts. The first appellate court is called the Supreme Court of New York. The next one is called the New York

Court of Appeals, which is the highest court. I suspect they'll file a petition for review and it will be summarily rejected. So that may extend to twenty one days, but if not, then within twenty one days, these depositions will be held. Usually they are long fairs six eight, eight hours until the prosecutors or the civil attorneys ask all of the questions they want to ask and listen to the person being deposed, say I played the fifth

you know, hundreds and hundreds of times and thereafter. So here's the the upside of where we are usually deposing the most important people is the very last step, okay before bringing that case as a civil suit against Trump and his organization. So you know, this is kind of the end game of the investigative stage, and then the civil fraud suit will probably be brought pretty promptly after

these three depositions are concluded. Tell me this too, because in the age of COVID, I'm wondering will they need to be deposed in person? Or will Donald Trump be doing this from the Mara Lago buffet line? Like how how you know? Again? Because personally, I would find that getting Donald Trump in a physical room right with his you know, with his attorneys present, would be the goal here. But is this going to be in person? Is it

going to be remote? What does that look like? So you know, when it comes to criminal trials, remote testimony is never a substitute. It's just not even constitutional because unfortunately, the criminal justice system has not kept up with the time,

so everything has to be live in court. But when it comes to depositions and civil investigations, there's much more leeway and the parties can actually agree to a remote deposition where you know, tis James Staff is in New York and Donald Trump is elsewhere and they're doing it via a video link, so there's a lot more wiggle

room and often the parties will agree. You know, I would prefer to see it all in one room too, a controlled environment, right, but it wouldn't shock me if some of the depositions now, particularly lily in the day of COVID, are done remotely. Okay, you know, glad, So all right, how are you feeling well? You know, last the last question for you, how are you genuinely feeling about this actually coming to an ahead. We always ask like, should Donald Trump be worried? Is it is now finally

the time? Is it going to be twenty twenty two that finally Donald Trump is held to real serious accountability for his decades long crime spree. Are we feeling optimistic. Should we feel hopeful about this or are we setting ourselves up once again for a big downfall. So I don't want to misuse a medical term, but I feel kind of schizophrenic because there are times when I'm really hopeful and I'm optimistic, and then there are times when I am so frustrated that I just want to scream.

I actually did a long video on my Justice Matters channel yesterday talking about the how do we balance the frustration with the need for patients. It's not easy, and I go back and forth literally daily, if not hourly, how I'm feeling about things, and that's okay, and I express it and it may seem like I'm inconsistent, But you know, we feel different ways when we take different information in about whether we're moving toward accountability for Donald

Trump or away from accountability for Donald Trump. Now, I will say, at this moment, with you know Joe Biden saying no, you're going to get the visitor logs for January six, We're not going to hide those the way

Donald Trump wants us to hide them. With the District Attorney for DC, Carl Racine winning a serious victory with the Trump Inaugural Committee, the Trump organization, going back into that litigation with Mazar's walking away from Donald Trump and inferentially cooperating against Donald Trump, with this devastating ruling by the New York State Court judge yesterday, with the House Committee, and let me kind of I'll go on and on it.

Let me leave it with this little piece. You know, Representative Jamie Raskin, who sits on the House Select Committee and is privy to the more than five hundred interviews with people who are cooperating with the committee and who have provided documentation to the committee. Just recently on Dian Obidala Show, Representative Raskin said, based on he knows all this information that we don't because it's all going on

behind closed doors. He said, Donald Trump is and I quote guilty as sim a one man crime wave and he will get his come uppance. Not the word I would choose, but and so for Representative Raskin to say that with his basis of knowledge, I think that's an important pronouncement from a serious and circumspect man like Jamie Raskin.

And I draw a parallel, Danielle between that and what this New York Court judge said after reviewing thousands of documents, he said, there is copious evidence of possible financial fraud. That's an informed opinion that we got at the moment. I'm feeling optimistic that the investigative circle is tightening around Donald Trump. But let's see what story breaks today, and maybe I'll feel differently, you know, I want to say,

and you know, I'm hell they freeze over. I too, am optimistic about the direction, about the direction that all of this is going, because you know, Donald Trump has been allowed to be incredibly slippery for an incredibly long time, right, just for the reminder that you gave us about oh cy thence all of a sudden decides not to investigate. Come to find out, he receives a you know, a contribution, right.

How many people have received contributions for the trunk organization, Democrats, Republican it doesn't matter, right, He's been able to buy his way out of jail for over three decades, and I hope that it stops. The only thing that I will say about Congressman Raskin that I will disagree with he is not a one man crime wave. He is

a family crime wave. Right. He is the head of a family of criminals, right, and everyone that he is brought in, from Michael Collen to Alan Weisselberg to all of the quote unquote outsiders, right, they are every single one of them are criminals. And so birds of a feather flock together, right. And I hope now that tissue, James is going to be the first one to pick it apart for those that are less courageous than her to follow suit after this suit is actually made. So

I you know, Glenn dare I say. I will end today by saying I am hopeful for the first time in many, many, many many months, that the walls actually are closing in on Donald Trump and the Trump organization. So as always, Glenn, we appreciate you and your insight, and I hope that next week, when we talk again, we have more good news to give to the woke Apple appreciate you. Thanks dadio. Friends, as we start out our week, let us have our woke moment of wellness.

I have been, as you know, meditating multiple times a day and getting back outside and walking. But one of the things that I also want to talk about, and and I don't know if I talk about this probably enough on this show, is how important it is as we all age right to recognize that movement is important. It isn't just important, you know, for our health and wellbeing, but it is really important for these times of great stress,

riot and strain. That moving our bodies, you know, taking putting in into our calendars after ninety minutes right of sitting still at deaths hunched over on computers. That putting in ten to fifteen minute blocks throughout your day, of being able to either walk around your house, your apartment, your block, getting fresh air, stretching out your body, doing a couple of downward dogs, a couple of twists. Right, Being able to move and increase that nimbleness right in

our bodies is incredibly important. It helps us relieve our stress, our anxiety, and it helps us continue to be mobile, which my mother tells me all the time. As you age, the more mobile you are, the healthier you will be. So I want to remind folks you know, sometimes take me out on your walks with you. Right, listen to woke a f as you're doing something that is active, that is good for you. Let us use this rage and this frustration as our daily movement motivator. That was

your woke moment of wellness. That is it for me today. Folks here on Woke a f as always. Power to the people and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
