So, Chief Justice John Roberts is mandated to preside over that trial in the Senate, but Judge Roberts says,
Starting point is 00:04:23 no, I'm not going to do it. I don't want any part of it, so I'm not showing up. Now, the Constitution is kind of murky here because Donald Trump is no longer president. And Chief Justice Roberts says, well, he's not president, so I don't have to show up. And he's not going to show up. So that means that Senator Leahy, 80 years old, a progressive from Vermont, will preside. Well, Senator Rand Paul isn't like that. He isn't like any of this impeachment stuff. So he forced a full vote on whether the impeachment trial is constitutional. And it is, according to the Senate, 5545.
Starting point is 00:05:07 But that shouldn't be a surprise because 50 Democrats, plus five Republican senators said the trial's constitutional. 45 senators on the Republican side said it isn't. Now, the five Republicans, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse, and Pat Toomey, all despise Donald Trump with the exception of Ms. Collins in Maine, but she's always been a very liberal Republican.

I would not vote to convict Donald Trump if I were a senator. And I'm not doing that on political grounds. I mean, I don't think that he did want any violence. He's not that kind of guy, as I write in the United States of Trump. Anyway, what will likely happen is the Senate will vote to censure Donald Trump. It doesn't mean anything. Donald Trump doesn't care about that.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And it'll all go away, just like the first impeachment went away. Remember that? it was only a year ago. And you think that people hate politics? Yeah, they do.
