Yes, this. I've just gotten dited. Oh, he did. Yeah. Whoa. Oh, we caught it right before the end of the episode. Yeah. Wow. I was all after Mondays after last week's episode when we're like, Oh, it's gonna happen. And then of course it didn't happen. I was like a fucking idiot. Why would you listen to Trump when he tells you what's gonna happen? Well, nothing is gonna happen. And now boom, here it is Thursday. Well, thank you, Detective Robert Gorin. Robert Gorin did his weird eye contact thing with Matthew Calamari and he broke an ADA car for finally filed an indictment. Are we going to get to see a perp walk? We better. This is all we have left. Honestly, this is watching this unprecedented thing

fold unfold as a former president gets processed through the criminal justice system for paying off Stormy Daniels. Yeah. Hush money to a adult film actress. I really like the right wings take on this because like they knew that like obviously he was probably going to get indicted for this. So the new attitude on this is like paying hush money is just a normal thing that everyone does in America. We've all done it. Everyone's done it. Everyone's wrestled with their neighbor's cousin and paid him $70 not to tell their wife. I think so immediately, I think this presents a problem for DeSantis because if Trump like gets extradited from Florida to New York or like otherwise has to go, he'll imply that Ron could have

sent the National Guard to protect him. Yes. So like we saw we saw this sort of sparking of this idea during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. But now that they're in full open combat, now that they're vying for the same thing openly. Yeah. I don't see this as being anything but bad for DeSantis ultimately somehow. It's just it's a hard way to. So how do you split this? How do you say, how do you try to make it take advantage of it, humiliating your opponent and still defend him because you can't look like you're rooting for the prosecution? Yeah. No, yeah. I mean, I think his only option is to like, you know, stand forth square with Trump against this, you know, horrendous abuse of power by Manhattan

D.A. Alvin Bragg, which probably is going to end up helping him in the primary and further alienating independent voters from him in an election. I do not think he would win anyway. So good day to be Brandon unless you need to remember anything from before. But if you had to remember something from 62 years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Always a great day. Always a great day. Always a great day for things that happened 60 years ago.
