Well, let's talk a little bit about President Trump. You know, he's now, as I said at the beginning of the program, his lawyers are now saying that he did not take an oath to support the Constitution. It truly is amazing to see this whoops, sorry at to see this approach happening here. And let me find the clip here because I have got like I said before, I've got so many things here, it's hard to find things here's. 

Trump, I seem to remember I thought everybody saw him take an oath. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear i, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States the office of President of the United States. And will to the best of my ability and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. 

The Constitution of the United States. So help me, God. So help me, God. Congratulations, Mr. President. Yeah, so we all saw that, but his lawyers are saying, no, he didn't swear to support the Constitution. And actually maybe this is not just a provocation. Maybe that actually is true and had his fingers crossed behind his back or something. In a filing made to the Colorado Supreme Court, lawyers for former President Trump say that he never took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and he should therefore not be banned from the state's. 

Presidential. Ballots in 2024 based on section three of the 14th amendment, which says that if anybody has taken an oath to support the United States and they are engaged in an insurrection, then they're not eligible to to be hold office again. In the New York financial fraud civil trial case, of course, we've also had Deutsche Bank testifying that they didn't lose anything. We've had now multiple people who are supposed to be defrauded have come forward and said no, actually we knew what we were doing and we made money off of this deal. 

So we all knew that that was nonsense. But of course, it doesn't mean that they are not going to began with a judge finding against him and so he probably will lose that and have to win that on appeal. But getting back to this, what I thought was amazing about this was that they chose not to fight this thing in Colorado on the basis of insurrection. Should have said no, it wasn't an insurrection. 

Instead, what they did, these genius lawyers decided that they would fight this on the basis that he did not take an oath to support the Constitution. They said no, it's not the same thing. When you say that you are going to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, that's not saying you're going to support it. It's like, what does that mean? And then it's also absurd because they said that the president, rather, is not an office. 

The presidency is not an office under the United States, and so the president is not an officer of the United States, and that President Trump did not take an oath to support the Constitution. All of that is patently absurd. It's the worst kind of prevarication language tricks that you can imagine. And it is absolutely absurd to say that you're not taking a note to support the Constitution. Look, preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution is really what support is about, isn't it? It's a lot more explicit than just saying that you're going to support the Constitution. 

You're going to support the Constitution by preserving, protecting, and defending it. It's the same thing. And they're trying to say, well, because he didn't use the word support, because he said preserve, protect, and defend that. Now, since the word support is in this 14th amendment clause, since that's there, and since that's not in the oath, he didn't take an oath to that. And even just as ridiculous, the idea that the presidency is not an office and that basically that he's not under the Constitution, he certainly has acted that way. 

But what a stupid argument to be made. And of course, the people who are opposing him in this point out that the constitution explicitly says over and over again the office of the presidency. The office of the presidency. It's almost as if Trump's lawyers, just like Trump, never read the know, he put his hand on a bible. He held a bible up once. He never read the bible. 

He's talked about supporting, rather, preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution, but he's never read that. He's never read the bible. The lawyers have never read the constitution again. The office of presidency over and over again, explicitly in the Constitution. And they said the natural meaning of an officer of the United States is anybody who holds a federal office and the presidency is referred to as an office over and over again in the Constitution. 

And so the preserve, protect, and defend is actually stronger than support. This is a characteristic of Trump, these idiotic lawyers that he surrounds himself with. That's how he got in this January the 6th thing, lying to people about things that they know are better. That's how he got into all of this stuff. Why would they play these kinds of silly word games again? Wouldn't you think that the way that you would oppose this is to say, well, this was not an insurrection. 

It was not an insurrection. But he is the presidency is in office. He is under the Constitution, and he did swear to support it when he said he was going to preserve, protect, and defend it. So, you know, this is trump is just increasingly be clowning himself when you it is just ridiculous. The David Knight show is a critical thinking super spreader.
