1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: The indictment has been unsealed, and in the United States 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: of America has done something that usually only third world 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: countries do, where we attack and imprisoned and send into exile, 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: and in many parts the world kill former political leaders 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: and their family members. Now America is on that list. 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: The Manhattan witch Hunt trial has officially begun thirty four 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: felony counts of falsifying business records. The problem is it's 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: not even actually thirty four felony counts, and Alvin Bragg 9 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: can't even explain what one of the crimes was that 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: he charged Donald Trump with Donald Trump has pled not guilty. 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: What did it cost to do this? Let's just put 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: it into perspective so you understand what it costs the 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: liberals in New York who are all woke. Alvin Bragg 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: shut down the entire city of New York today, called 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: up thirty eight thousand New York Police Department police officers, 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: closed down the FDR drive, and is spending an estimated 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: tunor million of city funds, all over one hundred and 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars in DA. That's how Eric Trump put it. 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: I never thought I would see this level of corruption 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: the United States America. But here we are. Eric Trump 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: went on to say, and this is not a prosecution. 22 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: This is clearly a persecution, an attack of a political adversary. 23 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump leaving Trump Tower put his wrist up, is 24 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: fist up in the air. Two supporters there. Thank goodness, 25 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: he actually did that to show again that we are united. 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump today and it's very clear, and 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: the American people are going to see the official picture 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: coming from that court room showing Donald Trump saying they're 29 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: respecting the judicial system even as they're trying to destroy 30 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: a former president of the Unit States America. Now, let's 31 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: be clear about who's happy about today. The psychotic democrats 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: on the left, and every adversary to the United States 33 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: of America is thrilled to see this. Now, this thirty 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: four count indictment is a joke because it's not actually 35 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: thirty four counts. It's one payment that they say every 36 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: check they were going to charge him with four counts 37 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: per check he wrote paying back his then attorney Michael Cohen, 38 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: who's a star witness of the district Attorney Alvin Bragg. 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Let me walk you through the timeline before we get 40 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: into the absurdity of the thirty four counts of quote 41 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump was officially 42 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: arrested around one thirty five pm Eastern Time and appeared 43 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: before the judge who charged him with thirty four counts 44 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: of falsifying business records at two forty five. Trump pleaded 45 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: not guilty to the indictments. Per the judges orders, the 46 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: media was not allowed to live stream the court proceedings. 47 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Shocker there, right. We want to silence Dounald Trump, and 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: we certainly don't want to let the American people see 49 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: what this looks like. Photographers were allowed to enter the 50 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: courtroom to take photos before the proceedings began. The photographers 51 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: captured images for a few minutes before they were seen 52 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: leaving the courtroom. CBS News described the courtroom as stuffy, 53 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: warm and feeling like an old middle school, not like 54 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: a ornate federal courtroom. The former president entered at police 55 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: custody around one thirty pm in the Manhattan Courthouse, where 56 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: he surrendered to authorities before the arrangement, but before ducking 57 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: into a vehicle on his way to the courthouse, he 58 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: turned wave and gave his supporters a fist bump upon 59 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: arriving at the courthouse, Trump posted on True Social seems 60 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: so surreal. Wow, they're going to arrest me. Can't believe 61 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: this is happening in America hashtag maga. Donald Trump's attorneys 62 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: came out made it very clear after saying this indictment, 63 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: this is what they said. Here's what we're gonna talk 64 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: about today. Here's what we're gonna talk about there. We're 65 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: gonna talk about the insufficiency of this case. And I 66 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: will say this to you, today's unclium. This indictment shows 67 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: that the rule of law died in this country because well, 68 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: everyone is not above the law. No one's below it either. 69 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: And if this man's name was not Donald J. Trump, 70 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: there is no scenario we'd all be here today. Please 71 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: understand that based on these charges, we would not be 72 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: here today. Based on these charges. He's right, by the way, 73 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's Attorney's absolutely right. The absurdity of this indictment. 74 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: After I read it, and I had to call several 75 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: attorneys that I trusted because I didn't believe what I 76 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: was reading is, I said, so, let me get this straight. 77 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: There's really one count which the statute of limitations have 78 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: already passed on that and two different The former DA 79 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't charge him with these crimes, and the federal government 80 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: look at this and didn't charge him. They said there 81 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: was no crime there. But what they've done is they 82 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: basically turned thirty for account indictment from one thing he did, 83 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: which was paying story Down's money. But they decided to 84 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: count each check as a new indictment times four. So 85 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: you can quickly get to thirty four if every time 86 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: he was writing a parcel check for the hush money payments, 87 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 1: as they're accusing him of doing, they have now charged 88 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: him for the same crime in essence, thirty four times 89 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: thirty four times. Now, there was also another big lie 90 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: and before and I don't want to let this go 91 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: because it's important that you hear this. At the beginning 92 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: of the show, the media also spread a very big 93 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Did you notice this Over the last few days, 94 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: the media said that Donald Trump was going to be 95 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: charged with conspiracy. Donald Trump was not charged with conspiracy. 96 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: They pushed this narrative for days. All the news networks 97 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: were pushing this on the left, ABCNBC, MSNBCCNN, all of them. 98 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: We got a montage for you. I want you to 99 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: hear of the media deliberately lying to you, just like 100 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: they did about Russia collusion, just like they did about 101 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: the phone call wiz Villinsky, just like they did after 102 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: for impeacherent number one, impeach at number two. Okay, this 103 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: is just like they lied to you about the Hunter 104 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Biden laptop and the Hunter Biden story. The media was 105 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: spreading a lie about Donald Trump being charged with conspiracy. 106 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: Lifting carefully, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty in the Manhattan 107 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: courtroom again to thirty four counts of falsifying business records 108 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: and conspiracy. Conspiracy is a very effective tool used by 109 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: prosecutors to charge someone, charge groups and people and hold 110 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: them accountable for all acts in furtherance of the conspiracy. 111 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: But the big question now arises, who is the conspiracy? 112 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: It's thirty four counts of falsifying records and conspiracy. Is 113 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: thirty four accounts of falsifying business records and conspiracy more information, 114 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: But we need to see what was the purpose of 115 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: the conspiracy. Who was in the conspiracy? What we're the 116 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: so called overt acts, You actually have to take a 117 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: step in for servants of that conspiracy. You don't actually 118 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: have to complete the conspiracy. You don't actually have to 119 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: go through with it. You can just intend to go 120 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: through living. Now, the conspiracy count is important because it 121 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: doesn't just give the district attorney a legal platform to 122 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: make alec to bring in the catch and kill narrative, 123 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: but it actually will likely be what's called a speaking 124 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: in guide MeV new information for the first time out 125 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: of court that the DA is charging this as a 126 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: false business records and conspiracy case. You have a conspiracy 127 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: count that lets you give a narrative that describes the 128 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: evidence that the grand jury heard and voted on, which 129 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: is very different than a dry thirty counts of falsifying 130 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: business records, which is the same paragraph repeated thirty times. 131 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: There are thirty four counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy. 132 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: To add the conspiracy element to this spiracy element here 133 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: would indicate that he conspired with others, right, that there 134 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: are other people involved in this effort. There's one problem. 135 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: There is no conspiracy. The media is spreading fake news 136 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: that Trump's being charged with conspiracy when in fact he's 137 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: not being charged with conspiracy. They're lying to you. There 138 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: is them lying to you in real time because when 139 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: you have a case this week, you gotta make it 140 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: seem bigger than it actually is. Donald Trump's attorneys, by 141 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: the way, furious over this indictment, as they should be. 142 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: They said that Donald Trump is upset, he's frustrated, disappointed, 143 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: and mad all at the same time. Here's a little 144 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: bit of what they had to say outside the courthouse. 145 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: You don't expect this to happen to somebody who was 146 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: the president of the United States. And on the one hand, 147 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: On the one hand, there's not really any surprises. UM. 148 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: I know there was a lot of talk over the 149 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: past several weeks, in the past several days about what's 150 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: going to be in this indictment and what's going to 151 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: be there that, UM, we don't know. There must be 152 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: something besides what we've been talking about for the past 153 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: um four or five years. There wasn't, there's nothing. The 154 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: indictment itself is is boiler plate. It doesn't allege, um, 155 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: any federal crime, any state crime that's been violated. It 156 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: doesn't allege what the false statement is, UM. And it's 157 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: really disappointing. It's sad, and we're gonna fight it. We're 158 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna fight it. Were you surprised. Were you surprised by 159 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: anything in the enticement? Now about you, Joe, I was 160 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: surprised there were no faction there. I mean, normally in 161 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: an indictment you have alleged facts. So they said that 162 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: this was a false business record entry to another crime. 163 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: We're not saying what the other crime was. Demeanor. When 164 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: you say what his reaction was, what do you expect 165 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: as we action was? I mean his reaction, his reaction 166 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: was exactly what would happen if it happened to anybody 167 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: that I'm looking at now, or anybody that's hearing what 168 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: you're saying. He's frustrated, he's upset, but I'll tell you what, 169 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: he's motivated, and it's not going to stop him, and 170 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: it's not going to slow him down, and it's exactly 171 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: what he expected. And so to that extent, there's no surprise. 172 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,479 Speaker 1: But he's also he's also he's also upset and frustrated 173 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: and disappointed and mad that this happens. I think it's 174 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: fair to say that's probably an understatement. The way that 175 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: the president handed himself when all this was going on 176 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: was truly incredible. I also wanted you to hear what 177 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: the Disattorney Alban Bragg had to say in his press conference, 178 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: and if you watch this press conference, it was embarrassing 179 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: because he was trying to convince you that there were 180 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: thirty four felonies. That's really one thing that's not even 181 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: a felony that he's trying to turn into a felony. 182 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: That it also, his predecessor said there was no crime 183 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: here and didn't charge Donald Trump with it, and the 184 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: federal government looked at and said there was no crime there. 185 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: They decided, federal prosecutors decide not to charge him with 186 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: these crimes. Not only did he do it, but he 187 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: actually did it in the in the dumbest way ever, 188 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: with a thirty four a count indictment for virtually the 189 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: same thing, claiming that there was a crime, which was 190 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: the payment, but then all the little payments that added 191 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: up to the big payment were crimes as well, times four. 192 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: And that's how we got to thirty four counts. To 193 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: make it sound like it was really really bad, Listen 194 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: carefully to the DA Alvin Bragg weaponizing his office to 195 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: go after Donald Trump. This afternoon, Donald Trump was arraigned 196 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: on a New York Supreme Court indictment returned by a 197 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: Manhattan grand jury on thirty four felony counts of falsifying 198 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: business records in the first degree under New York state 199 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: law is a felony. It's a falsified business records with 200 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: intent to the fraud and intent to conceal another crime. 201 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: That is exactly what this case is about. Thirty four 202 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: false statements made to cover up other crimes. These are 203 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: felony crimes in New York State. No matter who you are, 204 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conducts. The 205 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: defendant repeatedly made false statements on New York business records. 206 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: He also caused others to make false statements. The defendant 207 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: claimed that he was paying Michael Cohen for legal services 208 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: performed in twenty seventeen. This simply was not true, and 209 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: it was a false statement that defendant made month after 210 00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: month in two seventeen April, May June, and so on 211 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: through the rest of the year. For nine straight months, 212 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: the defended held documents in his hand containing this t 213 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: lie that he was paying Michael Cohen for legal services 214 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: performed in twenty seventeen, and he personally signed checks for 215 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: payments to Michael Cohen for each of these nine months. 216 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: All right, So there you go for the nine months 217 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: he was paying Michael Cohen. He's saying, each one of 218 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: those checks is an indictment times four. That's what he 219 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: was saying. So that's how you're getting to thirty four 220 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: indictments so quickly, because you're counting one crime as as 221 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: thirty four crimes. That's how weak this is. And continue 222 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: to listen to the absurdity of this total. The grand 223 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: jury found there were thirty four documents with this critical 224 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: false statement. Why did Donald Trump repeatedly make these false statements? 225 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: The evidence will show that he did so to cover 226 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: up crimes relating to the twenty sixteen election. By the way, 227 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: that's a lie. You can't claim that he's covering up 228 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: crimes connected the twenty sixteen election when the money was 229 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: paid not from a campaign funds number one and two. 230 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: The money was paid for a nondisclosure agreement, which happens 231 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: in this country millions of times a year. That it 232 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the campaign. He was paying money. 233 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: It's not illegal, Okay, We've talked about this over and 234 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: over again. It's not illegal to have someone sign an NDA. 235 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: It is not illegal to pay someone to keep quiet 236 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: about an inappropriate relationship. It's not illegal to pay money 237 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: to someone like Jeremy Daniels. You may not like it. 238 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: There's an ethical issue you can talk about in debate 239 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: for days on end, but it is not illegal to 240 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: do the things that I just mentioned. So why is 241 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: he charging him in this crime? Because this guy's a 242 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: political hack, He's a George Soros. How how do you 243 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: want me to jump? Mister Soris. Please give me some money, 244 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: mister Soris, Please get me elected, Miss Soros. I want 245 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: to run for governor. Mister Soris. I need to become famous. 246 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Mister Soros. How do I become famous? Oh yeah, okay, 247 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: I'll indict Donald Trump? What I run on? I ran 248 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: on indicting Donald Trump. Alvin Bragg ran for president, ran 249 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: for DA on the idea that he was going to 250 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: indict Donald Trump. And the liberals they loved it. Oh 251 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: my gosh, do they love it. It was like the 252 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: greatest day of their lives. They absolutely loved it. Thought 253 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: it was concredible. And so he comes out there and 254 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: he's like, let me tell you, and everybody watched it's illegally. 255 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: Mine is like, are you kidding me? Alvin Bragg also 256 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: is something that was really stupid. He said that Trump 257 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: made payments to hide damaging information from the public. That 258 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: is not illegal. It's not illegal to hide payments. It's 259 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: not illegal to pay someone, I should say, excuse me, 260 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: to hide damaging information from the public. That is not 261 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: against the law in New York. That's a lie, and 262 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: he knows it, but he continues on his witch hunt 263 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Executives at the publishing company American Media Incorporated, 264 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: mister Cohen and others agreed in twenty fifteen to a 265 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: catch and kill scheme, that is a scheme to buy 266 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: and suppress negative information to help mister Trump's chance of 267 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: winning the election. As part of this scheme, Donald Trump 268 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: and others made three payments to people who claim to 269 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: have negative information about mister Trump. To make these payments, 270 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: they set up shell companies and they made yet more 271 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: false statements, including for example, in ami American Media Incorporates 272 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: business records. One of the three people that they paid 273 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: to keep quiet was a woman named Stormy Daniels. Less 274 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: than two weeks before the presidential election, Michael Cohen wired 275 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to Stormy Daniel's lawyer 276 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: that payment was the Highe damaging information from the voting public. 277 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: That is not against any law. If people sign India's 278 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: all the time, that was not against the law. He 279 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: is creating a crime literally out of thin air. The 280 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: participants scheme was illegal. The scheme violated New York election law, 281 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: which makes it a crime to conspire to promote a 282 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: candidacy by unlawful means. The one hundred and thirty thousand 283 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: on a wire payment exceeded the federal campaign contribution cat. 284 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: By the way, the FCC, the Federal Elections Committee, did 285 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: not say that Donald Trump violate the law that he's 286 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: making and creating out of thin air. The federal government, 287 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: when they look at the case, agreed the past DYEA, 288 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: you had this job before. This activist put in by 289 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: George Soros said the same thing. He's making stuff up 290 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: as he goes. He's making up laws out of thin air. 291 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: This will be thrown out. He once, by the way, 292 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: we're being told for this case to actually play out 293 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: during the Republican primary, and wanted to happen next year 294 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of the primary so he can keep 295 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: his name out there and am I's books violated New 296 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: York law. That is why Trump made false statements about 297 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: his payments to mister Cohen. He could not simply say 298 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: that the payments were reimbursement for mister Cohen's payments to 299 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: Sandy to Stormy Daniels to do so, To make that 300 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: true statement would have been to admit a crime. So instead, 301 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: mister Trump said that he was paying mister Cohen for 302 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: fictitious legal services in twenty seventeen to cover up actual 303 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: crime committed the prior year, and in order to get 304 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen his money back, they planned one last false statement. 305 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: In order to complete the scheme. They planned to mischaracterize 306 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: the repayments to mister Cohen its income to the New 307 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: York state tax authorities. The conduct I just described, and 308 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: that which was charged by the grand jury, is felony 309 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: criminal conduct in New York State. True and accurate business 310 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: records are important everywhere. To be sure, they are all 311 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: the more important in Manhattan. Here's the problem. You have 312 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: a statue of limitations issue. Not only is Alvin Bragg 313 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: creating laws out of thin air that don't actually apply 314 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: and that many would argue didn't even have jurisdiction over, 315 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: but he's also creating a narrative here that just didn't happen, 316 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: and even if it did happen, what he's now saying 317 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: is well outside the statue of limitations. So he's got 318 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: problems here all over the place when it comes to 319 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: this one. Like all over. Here's the other part that's 320 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: interesting that I do think people need to understand as well. 321 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: There's one other side of this. Not only did Alvin 322 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: Bragg waste people's money, put thirty eight thousand officers on 323 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: the streets, spent two hundred million of New York funds 324 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: for an allege one hundred and thirty thousand dollars DA. 325 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: On top of that, the Ninth Circuit Court had awarded 326 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump today another one hundred and twenty two thousand 327 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: dollars over and above the five hundred thousand already that 328 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: has already been awarded from Stormy Daniels. Okay, I understand this. 329 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump today got another victory in court. So Stormy 330 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 1: Daniels now owes Donald Trump six hundred and twenty thousand dollars. 331 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: A US Ninth Circuit Court awarded him another one hundred 332 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: and twenty two thousand over the five hundred thousand already 333 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: awarded Donald Trump from Stormy Daniels. But we're supposed to 334 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: believe that this case is legitimate and it deals a 335 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: Stormy me Daniels after she owes the president six hundred 336 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: and twenty two thousand dollars. Donald Trump also said, just 337 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: lifted off for fam beats floridam on true social moment ago. 338 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: We'll be delivering remarks tonight at Marlago at eight fifteen Eastern, 339 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: seven fifteenth Central. The hearing was shocking to many and 340 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: that they had no surprises and therefore no case. Virtually 341 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: every legal pundit has said that there is no case here, 342 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: there was nothing done illegally. He's right, by the way, 343 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. But now that Trump has been arrested, 344 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: legal proceedings have been set. We have a precedent for this. 345 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: You now have a former president apparently that can now 346 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: be rated by the FBI and indicted by city prosecutors. 347 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: As one person put it today, I have a feeling 348 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to regret opening up this Pandora's box. Now. 349 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: The problem is is do you want the gopdas now 350 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: start charging people on crimes just like this activis DA 351 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't because I don't want to weaponize the judicial 352 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: system this way. It terrifies me. I do not want 353 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: this to be the case. But this is where the 354 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: Democrats have now taken us and the Democratic Party is dead. Okay, 355 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is dead. They are now communists. The 356 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: media spending fake news, Trump being charged with conspiracy. That's 357 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: not the case here, Alvin Bragg claiming his case shows 358 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: everyone's equal under the law. If that is the case, 359 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: then then answer me why Hillary Clinton, who did the 360 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: exact same damn thing in the exact same place in 361 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: New York City as a resident New York City, how 362 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: did she not get charge of the same crime when 363 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: she was categorizing the quote business records as legal expenses 364 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: for paying for the steel dossier to be made for 365 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: the entire Russian collusion thing that she created out of 366 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: thin air. Allegations, like so many of our white collar cases, 367 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: allegations that someone live again and again to protect their 368 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: interests and evade the laws to which we are all 369 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: held accountable. As this office has done time and time again, 370 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: we today uphold our solemn responsibility to ensure that everyone 371 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: stands equal before the law. No amount of money and 372 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: no amount of power changes that enduring American principle. Let 373 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: me just stop with that. I want you to just 374 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: really think. He says, today, we uphold our solemn responsibility 375 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: to ensure that everyone stands equal before the law. Okay, 376 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: by that standard, By that standard, he would have to 377 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: charge Hillary Clinton with the same crime he just charged 378 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: Donald Trump with. Hillary Clinton did the same thing with 379 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: business records that Donald Trump just he's accusing Donald Trump 380 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: ip doing classifying thing as legal expenses that he claims 381 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: are not. Hillary Clinton classified the steal document dossier payments 382 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: as legal fees. In fact, we know that she did 383 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: this to the point where the Federal Elections Commission find 384 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: her serious money and found her guilty of doing this. 385 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: Hence the fine that happened, folks, that actually happened. Okay, 386 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: like that actually happened. So Hillary Clinton did this? Then 387 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: then then again, how I don't know. I don't know 388 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: what else to say here? What else are what else 389 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: can be said? Here? You're not going to charge her 390 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: because he just said it, right, he just said it. Wow, 391 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: this is the law, and this is what the law says. Right, 392 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: this is the law, and this is how it is. 393 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: And if you're no one's above the law, okay, then 394 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: are you going to charge her? Because if Donald Trump's 395 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: gonna be held to this standard, you have to hold 396 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: her to that center. If you're claiming that no amount 397 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: of money or power, all the things he just listed, 398 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: then where's Hillary Clinton on this one? This is a 399 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: kangaroo court. These thirty four counts are a joke. And 400 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: on the same day he's doing this, Stormy Daniels is 401 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: having to pay Trump another one hundred and twenty two thousand, 402 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: already owes him a half a million. And this is 403 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: your k This is what all of this is on 404 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: eve Hell, you want to know how bad this is. 405 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: Even Mitt Romney today defended Donald Trump after the indictment, 406 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: saying Alvin Bragge is setting a dangerous precedent. Even Mitt 407 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: Romney said in a written statement today that the Manhattan Prosecutor, 408 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragge is saiding quote, a dangerous precedent by criminalizing 409 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: a political opponent. Romney, who is not a fan of Trump, 410 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: hates his guts, said in reaction to the indictment, I 411 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: believe President Donald Trump's character and kinda make him unfit 412 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: for office. Even so, I believe the near prosecutor has 413 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit 414 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: a political agenda. No one is above the law, and 415 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: not even former presidence, but everyone is entitled to equal 416 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: treatment under the law. The prosecutors overreach set a dangerous 417 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: precedent for criminalizing political opponents and damages the public's faith 418 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: in our justice system. The charges and evidence will be 419 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: duly considered and the outcome decided by a jury with 420 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: an obligation to fulfill its responsibility with the utmost care impartiality. 421 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: The American voters will ultimately render their own judgment on 422 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: the former president's political future. Finally, it is also incumbent 423 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: on all elected leaders to discourage violence and anger. In 424 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: response to this situation, Romney and Trump have, as you know, 425 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: not been friends for quite some time. I go back 426 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: to what I said at the very beginning here. We 427 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: have just crossed a line, and I don't know how 428 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: we'll ever come back from it. All right, make sure 429 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: you share this podcast please with your family and friends. 430 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, We're gonna do another podcast 431 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: after this one with Donald Trump's response, so you'll get 432 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: two podcasts from us make sure you listen to that 433 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: second one as well.
