Royal F. Oakes

And [laughs] so I'm just coming down.

We're gonna talk to Royal Oakes first, and then, uh, we'll start playing some clips.

We got a lot of clips, so we'll just do them throughout the show, not everything at once.

Royal Oakes, though, from ABC News is the legal analyst, and the big news today, uh, Trump administration, Department of Justice, is giving a, uh, deadline to the California Secretary of State, a woman named Shirley Weber, and Dean Logan, who's the county registrar in Los Angeles.

And by the way, he's the guy every time we have a, a recall about to happen, he, uh, he counts the, uh, recall signatures and goes, "Oh, wow, you just missed by two.

It was so close." Somehow, uh, when somebody puts together a recall, they get over the top by, by hundreds and thousands of signatures, and then Dean counts them and it's like, "Oh, it's close." Uh, not quite.

Uh, well, he got the letter too.
