| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, February 7th, 2024. No immunity for Trump says a few judges. |
| 0:04.9 | Cotuses, maybe next. |
| 0:06.3 | Republicans can't even do symbolic gestures anymore in what could be, but probably won't be, |
| 0:10.5 | the interview of the century. |

| 0:26.9 | Federal appeals court said on tuesday donald trump is not immune from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed during his presidency to i guess reverse the 2020 election results |
| 0:31.7 | the ruling from the dc circuit was expected but it is a blow to trump's key defense thus far in |
