| 0:00.0 | I want to go too deep into what I would consider to be a very favorable ruling today for President |
| 0:06.4 | Trump, but I will read a few of the operative parts. I know some people just want the cliff's notes and that means is he in trouble or |
| 0:17.3 | isn't he it's never quite that easy and it's never quite that definitive. In a six three ruling, the |
| 0:31.1 | court determined Trump has absolute immunity. |
| 0:36.0 | That means unquestioned all powerful. |
| 0:39.6 | Trump has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers. |
| 0:46.0 | Now this is what upsets people about lawyers, |
| 0:49.6 | but it's not, everything is not black and white. everything is not so easy. And so who's going to determine what those |

| 1:47.6 | But that's only partially helpful because the question is going to be are the conversations he had going to be |
| 1:57.8 | considered his core constitutional powers or unofficial acts. |
| 2:06.0 | And how that is determined |
| 2:08.5 | is going to make all the difference in the world. |
| 2:17.7 | If someone says, you get an ice cream if you're a good boy and you lose your job if you're a bad boy, you go, okay, that's good. So when you did what you did, was that being a good boy or a bad boy boy it's unclear. So who's going to determine that because |
| 2:28.2 | that's going to make all the difference in the world? I'll read to you a |
