Today, I'm joined by CNN analyst and author of the new book, Five Bullets, Elliot Williams.

Elliot, how are you doing today in 2.0 Trump's America?

It's a crazy, crazy time. You know, I last night was on television about the firing of, you know, the Supreme Court hearing around Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve Court Commissioner.

Today, I was just on, that's why, as viewers may not know this, but I literally was a couple minutes late to meet with you,

because I was just on television talking about this Jack Smith hearing in Congress.

This is whiplash in a whirlwind time, certainly in legal news, my world, and it's just can't keep up.

Okay, let's start with, I noticed that Brett Kavanaugh was the most outspoken about the Lisa

Cook thing.

And I'm wondering if some of this is a reaction to how badly he has been branded in public

for what they're calling the Kavanaugh stop.

And I read that this branding was really like,

it really personally bothered him.

And the Kavanaugh stop, of course, is that an ice agent,

because of the way you look and those of you that are listening,

Elliot has a little more melanin in his skin than I do,

that they could legally stop him.

And so what is your take on Brett Kavanaugh?

Oh, my goodness.

It's, you know, he is the great story to come out of the Supreme Court over this generation

because we live in a world where Brett Kavanaugh is regarded as a moderate voice on the Supreme Court.

Oh, my God.

No, it is.
