| 0:00.0 | 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 | is only the stuff that Professor Lawrence tribe of Harvard Law School could come up with. |
| 1:12.2 | And he did. He came up with that. And he didn't say it's just possible. Here's what he said. |

| 1:47.0 | that well, actually you do have to go to law school to know that because attempted murder is a |
| 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 | by an external force, police coming into being or something like that. It's a close case. |
