| 0:00.0 | The last one with Ali Vilschi, who will be with me in Philadelphia. |
| 0:03.4 | It's time for that right now. I'm very excited about that. Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro will be there. Cheryl and Eiffel will be there. But more importantly, we're going to be there with a whole lot of our friends who watch us every night. And I'm really excited about that. You know, you're one of my favorite people. And Tuesday night, we're going to be spending a lot of time together. Yes. |
| 0:21.9 | But you know what my biggest beef with you is, right? |
| 0:24.5 | My complaint. It's the same complaint I have every time. But, you know, I can't concentrate on my show because I'm watching your show before this show. That is very kind, Allie. But today I was fine. I actually didn't, I was done 10 seconds into your show because you said it's a bad day for slush funds. And that's all I needed to hear. Like that to me is like, you know what? That's it. That's the headline I need to hear. We're done. It's true. Well, my beef with you is that you have 12 jobs and you do it with such brilliance and intelligence. I'm like, how does he do it? And once in a while, we come together. And Tuesday night, we got those big primary. So we're going to be on TV together a lot on Tuesday. Have yourself a great night and a great weekend, my friend.

| 1:18.2 | Today, two federal judges stepped in to stop what Democrats and Republicans have called Donald Trump's slush fund. |

| 1:56.5 | The U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams has ordered Donald Trump's attorneys to respond by June 12 to, quote, |
| 2:02.8 | one, the charges of collusion and whether the parties, Trump and the IRS, are truly adverse. |
| 2:11.0 | And number two, the assertion that the dismissal in this case was premised on deception by the parties. |
| 2:19.6 | And number three, the question of whether the case should be reopened because the court was the |
| 2:25.6 | quote, victim of a fraud, end quote. |
| 2:29.6 | Because the court was a quote victim of a fraud. |
| 2:34.9 | I get it. |
| 2:35.8 | We're numb to this stuff. |

| 2:39.7 | A federal court alleging that it could be the victim of a fraud by the sitting American president |
