All right, so let me... I don't want the audience to go, Popak's just talking over Anthony. No, no, I'm good, I'm good. I had a chance to read it, and I don't think Anthony did. So here's the ruling. The judge found that Donald Trump did not properly preserve many of his arguments. Particularly, he said it was not preserved as to Michael Cohen, The immunity issue, because he never raised it.

It was not preserved as to Madeline Westerhut, who was his executive assistant in the White House. And it was, those two were no, only whole picks that they find it was properly preserved. But the judge says, I'm going to just look beyond that. I'm going to act like you did preserve it. And now I'm going to rule on the merits. And the merits are that the evidence that came in is not immune.

It's not about your official conduct. It's about your private affairs, literally, your private acts, which are not covered by immunity. And even if that weren't the case, the judge said, this is what we call harmless error.

Given the volume and the mountains of evidence and testimony against Donald Trump, these little snippets from Michael Cohen about checks being written in the White House and Madeline Westerhood about scheduling meetings for Donald Trump and Hope Hicks about, we were really concerned about certain things during the campaign, it was not the reason that Donald Trump got convicted.

So immunity decision is in. Donald Trump has a way to appeal it. He can take it up to the two courts in New York, state courts. Doesn't like the rulings there. He can take it over to the United States Supreme Court. But we're still waiting on the issue of whether the second motion, I think now the second motion's dead, which is just throw it out because I won. I mean, it's effectively that.

Just throw out the convictions and all the jury's hard work because I won the election. That's not how that works. So once he clears that out, Here's the question for you, Anthony. Does, he's got time to sentence, even if he postpones the actual start of the sentence, he can actually sentence Donald Trump before the inauguration. Do you think he does?
