Partial Transcript, starting at 1:55:

“First and foremost let me explain to you why I am not worried that this case has been assigned to judge Aileen Cannon. So it's assigned to judge Aileen Cannon for now. However under 11th Circuit Court of Appeals precedent which is binding on federal judges in the southern district of Florida and all the federal courts in Florida judge Aileen Cannon should on her own recuse herself from this case. Or upon a motion for recusal brought by the Department of Justice she should recuse herself. If she does not voluntarily recuse herself the Department of Justice can then appeal that to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and they should then order that she be recused. There is an 11th circuit case called U.S versus Martin which is the binding precedent there, which holds that where a judge has shown prior bias and where the judge has engaged in potential prior misconduct and there is an appearance of impropriety the judge should be removed from the case. And if they don't voluntarily recuse the 11th circuit can remove the judge. So I ultimately do think judge Aileen Cannon will either recuse herself or be removed by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals under the U.S versus Martin 11th circuit precedent, because the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has already made a ruling where they removed judge Aileen Cannon from assuming jurisdiction. Extraordinary jurisdiction which she didn't have and in the order they basically accused her of interfering improperly with the Department of Justice's criminal investigation into Donald Trump. So where there is an order essentially already reprimanding her the remedy here would be recusal and I think that is what the Department of Justice is I'm going to pursue. So I don't think she's going to be on this case for any significant period of time.”
