It's been a wild week and we're lucky to have Tim Miller from The Bulwark and Aaron Blake from the Washington Post to help break it all down. Special counsel Jack Smith's case against Donald Trump was unsealed this week. We got the best look yet at Trump's behavior on January 6th. It's filled with criminal activity and contradicts many of Trump's previous defenses about that day. We also had the much-anticipated Vice Presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance. Will America buy the constant lying of the Trump/Vance ticket?

0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, we've got a great one today. |
0:06.9 | You know, for a change, because I got Tim Miller, |
0:11.1 | host of the Bullwark podcast, joining me once again. |
0:14.5 | And for the first time, Aaron Blake of the Washington Post. |
0:18.3 | So they're together. |
0:19.7 | So this one will be, as I said, a great one. |
0:23.8 | We talk about two things, really. The Walls-Bantz debate where there's a funny moment when |
0:31.2 | Vance accuses one of the moderators of fact-checking. Hey, there's no fact-checking. |
0:39.5 | That was not Vance's best moment, |
0:42.4 | but Vance's worst moment came when Walls asked Vance |
0:46.4 | whether Trump had lost the 2020 election, |
0:50.7 | and Vance refused to answer. |
0:53.9 | The fact is that he has said that if he had been in |
0:58.4 | Pence's position, he would have sent it back to the states. You know who's going to preside over the |
1:04.1 | next one? Vice President Kamala Harris. She'll be in the same position that Al Gore was in |
1:10.1 | in January 2001, where he lost to George Bush by 537 votes in Florida and the Supreme Court on a 5-4 boat. |
1:21.3 | They stopped the recount. |
1:23.5 | So it was really one boat. |
1:26.7 | This court put its thumb on the scale when they took forever to decide the immunity case in the most extreme way possible. |
1:35.4 | A president could have a rival candidate assassinated and be immune if he could make the case that it was part of his official duties. That doesn't seem right to me. |
1:47.6 | The court is one of the reasons that we must absolutely win this election. Alito and Thomas are |
1:54.3 | poised to leave if Trump wins and to be replaced by 40-year-old versions of themselves, |
