0:00.0	Legal A.F. is live, and I mean live. Look, I just joked that I flew into New York a few minutes,
0:08.2	literally a few minutes ago. I had to put a do not disturb sign up on it because once in the
0:12.6	past, if you remember, I had like the housekeeper come in, right, right while I was recording.
0:18.2	But we're here. Oh, my God. There's so much to talk about. You can see we're
0:21.7	using a new lower third now, which I joke with our production team about. Trump presidency, breaking
0:27.1	legal updates. I mean, that is where we live because we have no choice. We have an out of control
0:32.9	lawless rogue president. And if we don't call him out on a regular basis, I mean, my fear is that the

1:28.4	We couldn't figure it out.
1:29.9	And then, of course, he got rid of trillions of dollars of wealth and stock market value in that moment.

1:46.0	And he said, oh, I better take this case. We're all like, how does he even have that power?
