Like, how would somebody listening right now be able to have, like, the best chance to get on this list or, or, or to be able to have a pardon take place?

Yeah.
6:51
Um, great question.

Uh, and there's kind of a lot that goes into it, so we'll start at the, at the beginning, which is that the White House, the Trump White House sees 15,000 pardon applications for various things every year, okay? And it grants roughly 1,000 every year if you exclude the January 6th group, which was like a blanket pardon.

So if, if the Trump White House is, is granting 500 to 1,000 every year, then you're talking about, you know, less than a 5% chance that your pardon application is gonna be granted.
7:28
And it makes it...
7:31
It, it doesn't seem this way in the diesel world that it's really difficult to get one because of this news that we just h- had come out, which is that Troy Lake got one in November, and then, uh, here we are in July, and, uh, nine more people got 'em, and everybody else is kinda thinking that they're next on the list.
