A husband and wife were charged with transporting stolen goods over state lines, a federal offense. At the husband's trial, the wife voluntarily took the stand for the prosecution. She is prepared to testify that they consulted a lawyer after the charges were filed and, in the presence of the lawyer and his secretary, the husband said to his wife, "Dear, we really did know those TVs were hot. After all, we bought them for $10 each!"

Question:

On objection by the husband's attorney, how should the trial judge rule?
