Go. Welcome back to the Dershow, did former president Donald Trump actually attempt to murder

0:10.1

his vice president, Pence? Is he guilty of attempted murder? Should Merrick Garland, the attorney

0:18.7

general, charge him with attempted murder? I don't think he had a rational, normal, objective,

0:28.0

reasonable person would come to that conclusion. It wouldn't even make good television.

0:37.2

Unbade presidential television shows. It's usually the vice president who's trying to kill the

0:43.4

president to become president. I remember in House of Cards with Kevin Spacey, there was all kinds

0:49.6

of stuff about killing the president, killing the vice president, etc. But in the real world,

0:56.9

the idea that president Trump was guilty of trying, of attempting to murder his vice president

1:07.0

1:52.4

very complex crime and a very, very difficult one to prove. Let me give you another example from

1:59.1

current events to show how difficult it is. We all know that according to the allegations of the

2:04.6

government, a young man from California, with a gun and a knife, approached the home of justice

2:12.0

Kavanaugh and intended to kill him. And he was caught. And he was charged with attempted murder.

2:22.6

I don't think it's going to stick. I don't think even in that case, there is enough for attempted

2:28.7

murder. The law of attempted murder is very specific. It demands that you take a final step,

2:35.5

not preparation, but a final step toward the commission of the crime that is either thwarted

2:41.1
