Summary

Whenever an odious speaker is heard, in the background you also hear the cries to "deplatform" the speaker. Mike thinks that in this, the "attention age," it doesn't work, it can't work, and our energies are better spent on non-wishful thinking. Plus, stand-up comic Myq Kaplan is here before he leaves for an Edinburgh Fringe Festival sting. And while we technically don't know what's in the Trump indictment, we can predict it's nothing good for the former President.

0:14.8	It's Monday April 3rd, 2023 from Peach Fish Productions. It's The Gist I'm Mike Pesca.
0:21.0	Last week on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd was playing clips of Republicans reacting to Donald
0:25.8	Trump's impending indictment without having read the thing and noting that was a bit premature.
0:31.0	Again, all of those are what I would call pre-reactions because there is no indictment and that one
0:36.4	hasn't happened yet. But the lore of pre-reactions or talking before knowing, which I think is where
0:44.3	the word prediction comes from, that lore was too strong for even Chuck Todd on Sunday. There,
0:52.3	he interviewed former Manhattan DA side vans. I know you haven't read the indictment. And then he
0:59.2	asked for a prediction. Then he did the same with his panel. Look, again, with all the stipulations of
1:04.9	caveats, we haven't read the indictment. And ultimately, he said, just let's report on what we
1:10.0	hear is in the indictment. Now, the exact charges remain under seal. According to our reporting,
1:15.0	Trump faces about 30 charges of document-related fraud. The associated press is reporting that at
1:21.6	least one of those charges is a felony charge. And those two reports together just as good as reading
1:26.6	the indictment, look, I get it. I'm not about to be a hectoring scold about actually knowing what
1:32.6	the charges are before one way is in. I can give a pretty good guess. Just like I think I know
1:38.7	enough about what the next Republican national platform will say about guns, abortion, and taxes
1:43.4	without reading it. And Republicans can accurately give a review of the next drag queen story hour
1:49.6	without having seen it. There is a certain irony in trying to extend care and attention to detail
1:55.6	in reading documents to a president who doesn't read and is famously wanton with his documents.
2:01.7	So tomorrow, we will know. We will all know. And tomorrow will shock us when the indictment says
2:08.2	exactly what they say it's going to say. Hush money, porn, thrice, lazy lawyer, federal office,
