0:00.0	Hey, everyone, it's Reed. Before we get started, I just want to wish everybody a happy and healthy holiday season.
0:06.8	I know these are uncertain times. I know you might have a lot of tough conversations, but just know you can always find what you need here at the Lincoln Project.
0:15.7	Lincoln Project.us. I hope you'll share what we're doing. I hope you'll share this podcast. And again, I hope you
0:21.8	enjoy your time with friends and family. And now on with the show. Welcome back to the Lincoln
0:35.3	Project. I'm your host, Reid Gaylee. Today, I'm joined by George Conway,
0:40.5	fellow co-founder of the Lincoln Project, and member of the Society for the Rule of Law.
0:45.3	George is a longtime longtime pro-democracy activist. George, welcome.
0:50.7	Thank you. Thank you for having me.
0:52.5	It's been a long time since we've had a chance to sort of sit down and talk. Yeah. We see each other. Probably 91 counts ago. Right. Yeah. But who's counting? And, well, he is. I guarantee you that. But, you know, I had a question for you, which is in the context, I don't want to get into polling numbers and all that. But what I do
1:12.4	want to do is get into the idea of Trump, the Iowa caucus is January 15th. And I think he has
1:19.6	another trial and or hearing. I think that starts the next day. Yeah, I think I've lost track. I think

1:31.0	And then he's got another fraud case.
1:33.9	Another fraud case, I think, involving this Ponzi scheme.

1:41.6	The apprentice had a sponsor called ACN, and basically it was what they
1:46.0	call a multi-level marketing scam, and basically you send money into them to join, and then the
1:53.4	way you make money back is by getting other people to join, and it's like a chain letter, and sooner
1:57.8	or later somebody gets left holding the back. So it's the literal definition of a pyramid scheme. Yeah. It's a Ponzi scheme. Absolutely. And that's apparently the evidence I understand it to be pretty good against him. It's a class action, I think, or at least a bunch of plaintiffs. They dropped the claims against the kids because the kids were really didn't know that much, but Trump was neck deep in it.
2:18.8	And that'll be interesting too because it just, you know, everything about this man just about
2:23.0	is a fraud and it never stops.
2:25.4	I mean, this is Trump water, Trump wine, Trump steaks, Trump U, all of it.
