00:00She's a former U.S. Vice President, he's a big time attorney, and together they're
00:07probably going to have some awkward conversations after this.
00:10We are seeing those who are capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats.
00:21Former Vice President Kamala Harris has sort of shaded her own husband's law firm for bending
00:27the knee to Trump.
00:28It's definitely alluding to all the D.C. law firms that have basically made deals with
00:33Trump.
00:34Who is cutting ties with law firms he believes oppose his agenda, revoking their clearance
00:38to federal buildings, drastically hurting their business unless they agree to his demands.
00:43Many firms chose to cut a deal with his administration, including Doug Emhoff's firm of Wilkie Farr
00:48and Gallagher.
00:50Surprised he made partner, but the point is he got Doug in there.
00:53He apparently tried to lobby his fellow partners to fight, but the firm made the decision to
00:59give $100 million in pro bono services.
01:02So they've said, all right, we won't do DEI, and in a lot of cases, they've had to admit
01:06that they were wrong for work that they did in the past.
01:08Please, sir, don't hurt us, we'll behave, we promise.
01:12I'm not here, sir, I told you so.
01:15It's 100% I told you so.
01:18This could cause a fracture where he wants to leave his law firm, though.
01:20Did he really do that much when she was in office?
01:23Did he still practice?
01:24I'm sure he had to step back, yeah.
01:26That was a short little step back in.
01:27Like, what?
01:28Well, you know what's better than working for a law firm?
01:32Not working in Bora Bora.
01:34So best of luck, Kamala and Doug.
