| 0:24.2 | Janine Piro, otherwise known as Judge Box of Wine. Well, next day I wake up, Judge |
| 0:30.5 | Janine was drunk last night. What? I was a drunk. His nominee for U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C. |
| 0:38.6 | Piro's own executive producer called her a reckless maniac who is nuts and promotes conspiracy theories. |
| 0:47.2 | That is the type of person that Trump wants to be the league prosecutor in this important post in Washington, D.C. |
| 0:55.2 | It's his second choice for that pick after Eagle Ed Martin, who we've discussed a lot on |

| 1:44.0 | before that she ran an absolutely embarrassing campaign for Senate in 2005. She famously |
| 1:50.4 | at her announcement speech, forgot a page. Campaign launches in 2005. It was a 2006 campaign |
| 1:57.1 | before she went on to Fox. So she has not practiced law in many, |
| 2:05.1 | many years in a couple decades, I don't believe. I guess coming up on that 2005 campaign |
