i'm just guessing here francis from greensboro, north carolina. what's your question? >> if the supreme court agrees with trump's argument, would president biden also be covered in that absolute immunity that's a great question, jim, let's turn to you on that. and most importantly, i went to wake four, so go dijk's they're going to do the albany stuff. i'm going to do the north carolina i'll see you at biscuit ville. but look, i did. yeah. this is gonna be and this is why it's really interesting. we've just never had a situation where the supreme court felt compelled to weigh in on the limit or non limits or absence of immunity for a president. so it will affect every president for the rest of time. it's gonna be a huge decision if they really get to the full merits of it. i don't know that it will if you're thinking about like delaware, there's no prosecution coming and he wasn't president, so there's all sorts of wrinkles to some of the things that have happened factually. but yeah, this would be a historic moment, a very seismic case. >> the viewer question from lau
