This is beyond a reasonable doubt with your hosts, Mark Garagas, and Gary Smith.

Well, welcome to the altar of Bard.

I only lasted one week with the dressing up in my finest, Gary, so I apologize.

I have no excuse.

I should have dressed up on resort to that next week.

Well, I appreciate you not making me look bad, so we'll spin it that way.

I did appreciate the fine dress last week, but this week will be just fine.

We're bringing it either way.

I love it.

Well, I think we start off with, you know, we've been covering the impeachment trial of Ken

Paxton, the Republican attorney general in Texas, as we are talking today.

Sunday, he was acquitted yesterday yesterday, yeah, yeah.

And on 16 counts, all 16 counts, he was acquitted on every, on every single count.

By the way, there are, well, I'll leave it at this.

There, there, we've been playing some clips of lawyers.

There's a clip that's going around that I'd love to take a look at.

As I've said on the previous episode.

This was a great master class in cross examination by the lawyers defending Paxton.

I apologize to Dick Tegarin and Rusty Harden, who I previously called him and well deserved

legends of the Texas bar.

We haven't played any clips of theirs, but there's just been some great cross examination

here.
