Hi and welcome back to prosecuting Donald Trump. It's April 30th at 1039 a.m.

We're giving dates and times these days because everything you'll

understand why in a moment.

Eastern time.

Of course.

I know.

So by the way, this just means everyone else is listening not just in America, but there are all these

people internationally listen.

Are probably not going to be like click hang up like yeah you

East Coast snob they either add or subtract some hours you know they get it so what by

the way I'm Andrew Weissman and I'm here with Mary McCord.

We have a lot to cover.

Yes, we do.

I do want to tell you a very quick anecdote that's relevant to what we just talked

about about East Coast.

When I was working on a case in Houston, Texas, like 20 years ago,

everyone told me, don't worry, Houston's fourth largest city in America,

it's very cosmopolitan.

And I was going down there and a lot of the prosecutors were either from New York or for San Francisco,

and I had all of these preconceived views about Texas and I was told, no, don't be ridiculous and very soon after the

trial started it was one of the Enron cases I wake up in my hotel room look at the

Houston Chronicle on the front page of Houston
