What do we do about the courts? What do we do about these cases? What's going to happen?

I'll tell you what you should do. You should hump your ass in a time machine and listen to me four

years ago. That was your opportunity, right? I said that Merrick Garland had about a year to bring Trump

to trial. You have a year to bring him to trial because he's going to do all these delaying tactics. You have a year to bring him to trial because he's going to do all these delaying

tactics. You have a year to bring him the trial so that you can hopefully have the trial within

three years so that he can be a convicted, jailed person before he's allowed to run for president

or else he will run for president again. and then who knows what the hell happens.

But Mary Garland didn't do that.

No, he did not.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Michael Steel podcast.

Well, we are a week and some days out from the November 5th presidential election in which the world reoriented itself, where Republicans clean sweep and really kind of reset the table for American culture, economics, life, national security.

And so there's a lot. There's a lot to understand. There's a lot to sort of get ourselves wrapped around. And I gave a lot of thought to who should be the person to help us do that.

And my friend Ellie Mistol is the one who came to mind.

He is the nation's justice correspondent.

You know him from his time and work at MSNBC.

You know him from his writings, the clarity of his thought,

the precise nature of which he lays out an

argument, and the energy and the force of nature that he is. He's also the Alfred Nobler fellow

at the Type Media Center. His latest book is The New York Times Best Seller, Allow Me to Retort,

A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution. Ellie will join us and sort of break down what happened

and what lies ahead for us as we reemerge into the land of Trump coming up right after this on the Michael Still podcast.
