00:00OK, and we've heard from Donald Trump, as I said in the introduction, he called Jack

00:05Smith deranged. He went on to call him a lame-brained prosecutor who was unable to get his case

00:11tried before the election. His words exactly. I mean, how damaging do you think this has

00:16been, this report, to Donald Trump's reputation, his credibility? Or do you think people who

00:21are supporters of him will simply dismiss it as being yet more evidence of what they

00:27would deem a witch hunt against Donald Trump?

00:29Well, look, I think you're right that there's going to be a number of people that are just

00:32going to dismiss it because they'll blindly follow whatever Trump says or does. I mean,

00:37there is sort of a cult following around Donald Trump. I mean, that's part of the problem.

00:43But as all of this starts to build up, you've got the sentencing that took place, the conviction

00:48of 34 felonies in New York County. You've got these reports that are coming out. I think
