Hi, it's Andrew Weissman. I'm one of the hosts of Prosecuting Donald Trump, and I'm here

to share with you another special bonus episode of the show. Over the weekend, Mary and I

had a really great opportunity to talk with Chris Hayes in Austin, Texas as part of the

Texas Tribune Festival, and we were actually at this incredible old theater that Harry

wealth. Did I get that right? Yes, yes. People who are experiencing wealth. You got that right. Anyway,

we had a really great time. I hope you all enjoy the conversation.

Hey, everybody, how you doing?

Am I lit here? I'm lit. It's great to be here in Austin, Texas. Great to be here at the

Tribune Fest. Thank you all for coming. We do this podcast-wise. This happening comes out every
