Speaker 1: You want to talk about a two tiered justice system. It's not Democrats
and Republicans. It's people who are wealthy and in positions of power and everybody else. And
if George Santos, the lying indicted Republican congressman, gets his way, it will be yet another
example of this two tiered justice system. George Santos got to change his bail conditions so that
it is easier to dine out and to go shopping. Okay. This is the two tiered justice system. A Business
Insider reports George Santos needs to tell authorities whenever he wants to travel outside of
New York or D.C.. His lawyer said that that makes it cumbersome to go shopping and to dine out.
A judge let him. I guess there's a missing word here. Let him modify his bail conditions ahead
of his criminal trial to make things easier. The Republican congressman is allowed to stay
out of jail ahead of his trial on his 13 count federal indictment, wire fraud, money laundering,
theft of public funds, serious charges. His bond conditions allow him to travel freely between New
York and D.C. But if he wants to go anywhere else, he has to notify prosecutors in pretrial services.
However, two mornings ago, in a court filing, his lawyer, Joseph Murray, asked the judge overseeing
the case, Please expand the area that Santos is allowed to travel to include a 30 mile radius
around the District of Columbia so he doesn't have to give unnecessary notifications to authorities.
This will make it easier for him to live his life. He can go dining, he can go shopping. He can go to
meetings and events and use local airports, folks. If he's in D.C., he may want to go to Arlington
for dinner. Beautiful little bistros there where he may want to get mussels in a white wine sauce
or whatever. I'm just making this up. And why should he be fettered? He wants to be unfettered
and that's what he wants. Prosecutors don't oppose the bail modification,
Murray wrote in the letter. Magistrate Judge Ann Shields granted the request Wednesday afternoon.
This is the two tier justice system. Now, I'm not going to pretend that nobody would get
this. Honestly, if prosecutors don't oppose it, there are a number of well represented clients,
assuming you have the money for, you know, a relatively fancy lawyer who would have approved
this. But it is, again, a reminder that the two tiered justice system that Trump and Santos and
others want us to believe exists, the one where Democrats are treated one way and Republicans are
treated another way does not exist. They said that that was the case with IRS audits years
ago under Obama. Turns out it wasn't the case. They've said it was the case even with Trump
related indictments. But the vast I'm not going to say majority because this may have changed,
but a large number of the indictments related to Trump's wrongdoing and people under him,
Papadopoulos, others, many of those investigations and indictments were carried out by long, lifelong
Republicans. Important to remember that. So don't fall for this stuff. There is a two tiered justice
system, but it is one system for most people and another system for the rich, the powerful,
the influence peddlers, etc. And that is what many of us are seeking to change, by the way.
And I don't have the time to delve into this today, but maybe we'll get to it next week.
Trump is a little bit too positive about Judge Eileen Cannon, who is overseeing his current
federal indictment. And it's making me worried that he knows something we don't yet know,
but we can probably suspect, which is, hey, he appointed her and she is going to show Trump
some deference. I'm extraordinarily worried. We're going to watch it closely. Maybe I will
have news next week. We have such a great show for you. We're going to hear from some of you.
We're going to look at your emails. We've got a great bonus show and all sorts of important and
impressive things are going to happen on this program. Remember that the children's book is
available at David Packman dot com slash book we are up to. Let me actually give you the latest
number. I haven't looked I might even be impressed by the latest number. The children's book has now
sold almost 6800 copies. We may be at 7000 by Monday. Who the hell knows? I certainly don't
know what I'm doing. But somehow people are buying the book and quite frankly, it's flattering. David
Packman dot com slash book. Let's take a break. We're going to keep an eye on all of it and be
back right after this. The David Pacman Show continues to be an audience supported program.
