0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about Trump's insistence that a president needs immunity |
0:04.2 | even if he has his political opponent assassinated. |
0:06.6 | And I interviewed Representative Jasmine Crockett, whose latest moment at the House Oversight |
0:10.4 | Committee's Hunter Biden hearing went viral about what Republicans are saying behind the |
0:14.4 | scenes after their circus of a hearing and her response to Hunter walking out on Marjorie |
0:18.4 | Taylor Green. |
0:19.4 | I'm Brian Tyler Cohen and you're listening to no lie. You've probably heard by now that Trump's attorney was in court arguing that Trump needs |
0:28.4 | full immunity as president to which the judges on the DC appeals panel asked okay well if a president tries to |
0:34.5 | assassinate his political opponent does that mean he can't be criminally |

0:56.3 | If Donald Trump's attorneys are arguing that presidents can do quite literally anything |
1:00.3 | they want, including having their own political opponents assassinated with immunity, |
1:04.8 | then why doesn't Joe Biden come out and announce that he's having Trump jailed, that he's having |
1:08.8 | him deported, that he's declaring himself president for life. In this case, the more insane the suggestion, the better, |
1:15.2 | because it'll put on full display the insanity of this idea that a president can do anything |
1:19.7 | with no recourse. I know the Trump team traffics pretty openly in hypocrisy, but man what I would |
1:25.1 | give to see them argue at literally the same time that Donald Trump has full immunity to do |
