Yeah, I think he was out doing some sort of thing a couple of years ago, and he just kept that photo in there. But he's the maestro of various families. I mean, I think the other day he was getting a snake out of some grocery store parking lot, and his son wanted to play with the snake, you know, to figure out whether it was venomous or not. So Viva's always a lot of fun.

So, I guess we should start with January 6th and what some of the excesses that were... My constant refrain, I must say, the topics we're going to get into today, I'm a complete dilettante. However... The constant thought bubble over my head is, what has happened to us? What happened here? What went on? What did people think they were doing? What, in fact, were they doing?

And let's just start with January 6th. And you make the case to me whether there should be pardons for everybody.

My view is there should be because our Justice Department got so politically weaponized. When they were prosecuting treating, say, grandmas that took what I called an unauthorized tour of the Capitol as being the same as somebody who, say, went in there with any kind of weapon or did something, those are two radically different people. And yet they treated them all equally.

And yet they treated them all equally.

And they are eager to prosecute. The other thing I have is how they were prosecuted. They were not prosecuted in their hometowns. They were prosecuted in D.C. I think that undermines the vicinage principle of our Constitution, which is that you're supposed to be prosecuted in your home community. That's how the vicinage and venue provisions have been historically interpreted.

But they're not being enforced. And here, I mean, imagine if all of Obama's supporters or Kamala Harris supporters were all prosecuted in, say, a small Republican county in East Texas that voted 94% for Trump. That's equivalent. That's what's happening to all the January 6th defendants. The jury, the grand jury, is partial, prejudicial. The jury pool itself is very partial and prejudicial.

The judges feel like they were personally attacked on January 6th. So honestly, they all should have disqualified themselves. Let a judge who doesn't feel personally attacked by January 6th adjudicate the various motions. Make sure you have honesty in the discovery process. People aren't targeted for political reasons. All of those rules were violated.

So I have questions about a lot of the substantive prosecutions, but we have such discrepancy. In other words, for example, all kinds of people have done all kinds of things at the Capitol over the years.

It's not like they went and tried to blow it up like some Puerto Rican activists tried to do, some other activists have tried to do over the years, who were pardoned, by the way, by either Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. You know, everybody who ran away from the draft was pardoned right away on day one by Jimmy Carter.

And I think President Trump should just pardon all the January 6th defendants because so many of them were subject to politically motivated prosecutions.
