0:00.0	Welcome back to the Dershow. We're going to spend most of the time today talking about
0:07.2	recent efforts by progressives to take over the United States Supreme Court by packing
0:13.0	it with progressives during the Biden administration. We'll get to that in a minute, but there
0:20.4	was a major development today in the Donald Trump civil case involving rape charges and
0:28.8	defamation charges. I'm pretty proud of the predictions I've made generally, and so I'm
0:36.3	going to go on a limb and make a prediction here. Based on what I've seen in New Development
0:44.3	is that Takapino, the lawyer for Trump has said he's not putting on a defense, he's not putting
0:49.4	on witnesses, he's not putting on experts, he's not putting on exhibits. He's going to depend
0:56.3	on his cross-examination essentially of the witnesses for the plaintiff. Now, in one sense,
1:03.4	I don't blame him. What kind of defense can you put on for a charge that allegedly occurred
1:10.1	close to 30 years ago? It's very hard to make a defense based on something that not only happened

1:38.3	I don't know what happened in that room, and I'm not here to tell you that I think he did it
1:42.6	or didn't do it. I'm just here to evaluate the evidence, but what if they were able to come up with
1:50.2	the day, and Trump could prove he was in Florida that day, or in Europe that day, he's in Scotland,
1:57.2	now, with his golf courses, he might be there. But very hard to make a defense against an accusation
2:04.7	that's as vague in terms of timing. It wasn't vague at all in terms of the specific allegations,
2:12.3	but the jurors, first of all, who are the jurors? We don't know. All right, that's okay. There are
2:20.9	many cases in which jurors are anonymous. That is, the public doesn't know who they are,
2:27.8	but here, Donald Trump's lawyers apparently don't know who they are. How do you picture us?
2:34.6	When I have a case, I do extensive amount of research on the jurors. I find out
