Outlines
đ Disgraceful Prosecution of a Former President
The speaker expresses strong disapproval of the conviction of a former president, presumably Donald Trump, on charges of falsified business records. They argue that this is a politically motivated move to prevent him from running for office again. The speaker criticizes the legal system, suggesting that it has been weaponized to target political opponents, and implies that similar actions could be taken against other prominent figures in the future. They also mention various cases and individuals, accusing them of corruption and bias, and suggest that this sets a dangerous precedent for the country's legal and political landscape.
đ€ The Consequences of Politically Motivated Prosecution
This paragraph discusses the potential repercussions of the perceived politically motivated prosecution of a former president. The speaker warns that if this trend continues, it could lead to a tit-for-tat scenario where other political figures, including Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, could face similar legal challenges. They argue that this could result in the revival of old cases and the passing of new laws to target political enemies. The speaker calls for a return to the rule of law and justice, rather than just convictions, and suggests that the current situation could lead to further division and decline in the country.
đą Trump's Response to the Verdict and Future Implications
The speaker recounts Trump's immediate response to his conviction, in which he claims the trial was rigged and politically motivated. Trump asserts his innocence and frames the verdict as part of a larger effort to undermine him and his political aspirations. The speaker also speculates on the potential impact of the verdict on Trump's presidential campaign, suggesting that the timing of the sentencing could be strategically manipulated to disrupt his campaign. They predict that Trump will continue to fight the charges and that the case could be appealed, possibly reaching the US Supreme Court.
đ„ The Legal and Political Players Involved
This paragraph delves into the roles of various legal and political figures involved in the case. The speaker criticizes the district attorney, Alvin Bragg, for his handling of the case and suggests that he has a personal vendetta against Trump. They also mention other individuals, such as Letitia James and Fanny Willis, who they believe are pursuing cases against Trump for political reasons. The speaker argues that these actions are part of a broader strategy to weaken Trump's political influence and damage his reputation.
đš Concerns Over Judicial Bias and the Integrity of the Legal Process
The speaker raises concerns about the impartiality of the judge presiding over the case and the integrity of the legal process. They argue that the judge allowed prejudicial testimony and evidence that should not have been admitted, which influenced the jury's decision. The speaker also criticizes the defense team for not objecting to certain jury instructions and for making strategic mistakes during the trial. They suggest that these factors contributed to an unjust verdict.
đ Media Reactions and the Impact on Public Perception
In this paragraph, the speaker anticipates the media's reaction to the verdict and its potential impact on public perception. They predict that the media will repeatedly emphasize Trump's status as a 'convicted felon,' which could sway public opinion against him. However, the speaker also suggests that this strategy could backfire, as it might increase support for Trump among his base and potentially attract undecided voters who are put off by the perceived unfairness of the legal proceedings.
đłïž The Upcoming Election and the Role of the Voters
The speaker reflects on the upcoming election and the role that voters will play in determining the political future of the individuals involved. They suggest that the verdict may not have the desired effect on Trump's electoral prospects, as his supporters are likely to remain loyal despite the legal challenges he faces. The speaker also raises the question of whether independent voters and those who previously supported Trump but are now undecided will be swayed by the events surrounding the trial and the media's portrayal of them.

Transcripts
this is
ridiculous what a sad day the country's
been
disgraced that's what's happened Alvin
Bragg and this judge have disgraced the
country we made it what almost 250 years
without doing this and now because of
falsified business
records we've convicted as a felon a
former president pres of the United
States you don't think we could have
done something like this to Bill Clinton
or Hillary Clinton or others we had a
standard we didn't do this in America we
aren't a Banana Republic or at least we
didn't used to be and don't forget
what's happened in this Trump case in
which he's now been found guilty of all
34 counts against him which was
overcharged to begin with it shouldn't
have been a case at all and once charged
it should have been one count
the whole case boils down to the same
alleged scheme but they stretched it
into 34 counts by saying and that check
and that check and that check and that
invoice and that invoice it was all part
of your scheme so now he looks like Al
Capone convicted on these 34
counts but the idea all along was to
stop him from becoming president again
that's the idea behind this prosecution
that is the idea behind Leticia James
bankrupting his company that he built
and along with his dad from the ground
up in New York the city that just turned
on him that was the idea behind egene
Carroll and her sexual assault case
brought 30 years after the fact alleging
a sexual assault SL rape in a Bergdorf
Goodman dressing room a case she
couldn't even remember the year of the
alleged rape in
and that's the idea behind Fanny Willis
and Jack Smith times to stop it stop him
stop Trump why did they wait why didn't
these cases come until right before the
presidential election the Democrats have
been ringing their hands wasn't in time
we're not going to be able to call him a
convicted felon unless you speed these
things up the judge in the DC January
6th case saying I'll rush back I'll come
back from my European Vacation don't you
worry if we get Supreme Court opinions
allowing my case to go forward with Jack
Smith I'll be
there we've heard about the concern that
Fanny Willis her case is going up an
appeal but she's going to try to find
some way to pedal to the medal it we've
heard even in that January 6th case
before judge chuin there may be a plan
to try to get him
tried even after he wins if he wins in
November we could have a trial of the
president President elect in an effort
to get him another conviction so they
could convince electors to be
unfaithful on January 6th of 2025 and
not s this whole scheme and here it is
the proper word is
corrupt it's a before and after moment
for
America what just happened today is a
line we can't
uncross and these Democrats will rule
the day they decided to use
lawfare to stop a presidential
candidate I'm not talking about violence
I'm talking about tit fortat you just
wait and it won't be Hunter Biden the
next time it's going to be Joe Biden it
could potentially still be Barack Obama
it could still potentially be Hillary
Clinton we're going to have to look at
what the statutes of limitations are on
the various crimes they surely committed
we're going to have to look at passing
laws to revive those dead crimes
felonies or misdem meters so that those
cases can be brought out of time that
what that's what may be in the interest
of Justice just like they did for EEG
Carroll with a New York state law that
was passed so that she could sue him
that's what
happened turn turn about is fair play
and John Yu an amazing lawyer who worked
in the bush administration department of
justice has a great piece out today
talking about how that's the only way
they'll learn the only way to save the
Republic now is to give them a taste of
their own medicine that's
it that's it they tasted blood today
they're the wolves with the bloody piece
of meat in their mouths that doesn't
stop the wolf from coming back for more
the only thing that will stop him is if
he loses a limb of his
own and I'm sorry but the Democrats
started this game and the same way the
Republicans upped the ante when it came
to for example the filibuster fight the
Democrats got rid of it for lower court
judges Mitch McConnell said you will Ru
the day because we're going to be in
control of this chamber one day and
you're going to lose the filibuster at
the higher level court and you you'll be
sorry that's what needs to happen here
who's getting next Joe Biden maybe Jill
Biden how low can we
go you may not want to see it that that
ship has already left Port that horse
has left the barn that's where we're
going so before you celebrate too much
over at MSNBC and CNN who are positively
gleeful Gul over this absurd conviction
you wait and ask yourself ask yourself
what kind of Pandora's Box has been
opened here here was President Trump
moments after the guilty verdict
today this was a disgrace this was a
rigged trial by a conflicted judge who
was
corrupt it's a Rigg trial of
disgrace they wouldn't give us a venue
change we were at 5% or
6% in this District in this area
this was a rigged disgraceful trial the
real verdict is going to be November 5th
by the people and they know what
happened here and everybody knows what
happened here you have a Sor respect
back da and the whole thing we didn't do
a thing wrong I'm a very innocent
man and it's okay I'm fighting for our
country I'm fighting for our
constitution our whole country is being
rigged right now this was done by the
Biden
Administration in order to wound or hurt
an opponent a political opponent and I
think it's a just a disgrace and we'll
keep fighting we'll fight till the end
and we'll win because our country's gone
to hell we don't have the same country
anymore we have a divided mess we're
nation in Decline serious decline
millions and millions of people pouring
into our country right now from prisons
and from mental institutions terrorists
and they're taking over our country we
have a country that's in big trouble but
this was a rigged decision right from
day one with a conflicted judge who
should have never been allowed to try
this case never and we will fight for
our constitution this is long from over
thank you very
much good for him long from over is
absolutely right this will be reversed
it will be reversed this will not stand
mark my words even in a New York appell
court system that is weighted with
Democrats on the bench the the highest
court in New York is called the court of
appeals it's not completely corrupt it
just overturned the conviction of Harvey
Weinstein because he wasn't given a fair
trial they are capable of reaching a
rational decision and if they're not
this could be appealed up higher still
to the US Supreme Court there were state
constitutional violations here and there
were federal constitutional violations
here let me ask you a question for those
of you sitting at home who listen to
this show what was the underlying
crime what did the jury find Trump was
trying to cover up with this falsified
business record was it federal election
campaign law violations was it tax law
violations was it additional business
records violations do you know no you
don't neither do I no one knows neither
does Donald Trump good luck good Luck's
filing your appeal he's in the same
position he was in when he had to stand
up first and argue the closing argument
before he had even heard the
prosecutions theory of the case now he's
got to go up to the appella court and
try to guess gee I don't really know
what I've been found guilty of I guess
falsifying business records through
unlawful means and the unlawful Means
War
uh uh I don't know I I I don't know
we're not sure if the jurors took door
number one door number two or door
number three that's the position he's in
Alvin Brad
ran for office on a promise to get Trump
a Soros backed da who doesn't want to
enforce the criminal law against anyone
that's why we were all leaving New York
in droves because of his
policies and the policies of his old
boss the old mayor in New York and this
guy promised if you elect me I'll get
him remember
this when I was to the AG's office I
sued Trump over a hundred times for his
administration's misconduct and brought
a case against the Trump foundation and
held him accountable I'm the candidate
in the race who has the experience with
with Donald Trump I was the chief Deputy
in the Attorney General's office we sued
the Trump Administration over a hundred
times I know how to to litigate uh with
him I also led the team that did the
Trump Foundation case so uh I'm ready
ready to go wherever the facts take me
I'd be hard to argue with the fact that
that's that'd be the most important most
high-profile case and I've seen him
upfront and seen the lawlessness that he
can do so I do have a lot of experience
uh with the former president I think
it's important to elect someone who is
well prepared to pick up wherever um the
city district attorney leaves off if if
if brought would be one of the most
consequential cases in the history of
local enforcement and we need someone
who's ready on day
one he should be disbarred
he should be dispar that's how much
damage he's done to the justice system
that guy moments after the verdict was
read tweeting out today a jury found
Donald J Trump guilty in all caps he's
so excited on all all caps again 34
felony counts you go guy you must be so
happy you lived up to your campaign
promises I'll give you that one hell of
a politician one shitty prosecutor whose
obligation is to uphold the rule of law
and to seek justice justice not just
convictions that's what you're after
just convictions in the case of Donald
Trump that's all I want just give me The
Big C so I can get him like I promised
he's so proud today just like the AG in
New York is so proud of bankrupting
Trump's business or doing her level best
and we could go on FYI at this hour
Trump's donation website has
crashed you can feel you can feel the
number of people going there to Pony up
do they didn't think they had they
thought they had given their last
donation people are hurting right now
there's tons of inflation thanks to Joe
Biden and other problems that we're all
suffering they're donating and I'm sure
it's by the tens of million this will be
a financial windfall for the Trump
campaign and arguably for
America this jury the jury of the
American voters will be heard on
November 5th they will have the final
word and in the meantime Donald Trump
will hear the term convicted felon every
day everywhere he
goes the sentencing will not take place
until July
11th that is 4 days before the
Republican National
Convention that's the big event they
have the balloon drop the candidate's
family shows up it gets the party
excited for their nominee like what's
his vision of the country versus The
Other Guys how could he help my
life what what might he do that could
make things better for my kids versus
what the other guy's promising let me
hear the platform let me hear your
surrogates let me hear you and what you
stand for and
instead they've decided to corrupt it
this judge of course of course he
has by saddling Trump with his
sentencing 4 days before it starts one
week before he accepts the Republican
nomination for president of the United
States he'll be sitting in the New York
courtroom and there is a decent chance
he's going to be wearing an ankle
bracelet I don't think Trump's going to
get jail time I've said that from the
beginnings gagos took me on on that he
said anybody not named Trump would I
don't think he's going to get jail time
but it's not outside the realm of
possibility not with this
judge not with this da both sides have
to submit their recommendations what
they believe should happen that's going
to happen uh by I think June
13th and what do you think this da is
going to seek do you think the da is
going to say released on his own
recognizance community service what do
you think he's going to recommend and
this judge Maran has done everything
Alvin Bragg has asked him to everything
Alvin brag won
99.99% of the motion practice in front
of this
judge I mean I I don't think Trump is
getting jail time but I am not so
certain I can predict it sitting here
tonight um so the sentencing July 11th
in the meantime reporting here from CNBC
Trump will be free to speak to the Press
travel and continue continue his
presidential campaign he will no longer
be bound by the gag order oh that's
sweet that dis that barred him from
discussing Witnesses jurors and the
judge's family members she must be so
thrilled the judge's daughter who's
making tens of millions of dollars off
of her own get Trump campaign for people
like Adam Schiff she must be absolutely
joyous tonight can you imagine the
dinner they're having in the merchant
household judge michon and his Rich
daughter who's getting even richer by
the second thanks to this
verdict he should have been disqualified
he should not have prided over this
case the appeal will be filed of course
and it will take months if not
years I mean months if not years you
know how they rushed this case they
rushed the January 6th case once he
filed it once Jack Smith actually filed
it now everybody's in a rush they're not
going to be in a rush to resolve that
appeal not the one that's going to take
away the convicted felon label oh
no the
Biden campaign has responded to The
Verdict by encouraging people to vote
the Biden White House so far has
released only the following statement
through a spokesman quote we respect the
rule of law and have no additional
comment no you don't it's a lie you
don't it's your Department of Justice
that's brought the two most serious
cases against Donald Trump the ones that
actually could land him in jail that's
because of
you and by the way we know that you
coordinated with Fanny Willis in her
case against him too we know that you
were putting pressure on Merrick Garland
you were upset that he took so long to
actually indict the cases we know that
you're you're not you don't respect the
rule of law you've shat all over it
that's what you did and we know it
now
the I'm just I'm just looking back at my
notes here as as I go on
Trump said it was rigged and the people
over on MSNBC freaked out that he said
that word because they associate it now
with Trump's electoral claims that he
denied Joe Biden actually
won this case was rigged it was rigged
against Donald Trump and there was
ruling after ruling after ruling that
would show you that I'll just give you a
couple all right this judge allowed in
the fact that David pecker of Ami the
national inquir had a non-prosecution
agreement with the feds
around election fraud claims election
you know campaign uh
donation claims he allowed David pecker
to testify to that never should have
happened total totally unfairly
prejudicial to the defendant the jury
was left the impression that he was
guilty of this scheme so Donald Trump
must be too Michael Cohen same thing was
allowed to testify that he pleaded
guilty and serve time wasn't really for
this crime but that he did plead guilty
to same thing violate federal election
campaign Finance law the jury never
should have been allowed to hear that
the prosecutor or argued it over and
over and over he mentioned it so many
times in his closing and elsewhere to
the point where finally the judge had to
issue a limiting instruction to the jury
saying ah you're not really allowed to
consider that those agreements and those
plea deals to decide whether Trump is
guilty it's technically just to assess
The credibility of these Witnesses but
let me just tell you how bass awards
that is the way those agreements a
guilty plea would typically come in
against a testifying witness is by the
defense attorney the defense attorney
who wants to poke holes in the story
would get up there and say you're a damn
Criminal Michael Cohen you pleaded
guilty to this or you David pecker you'd
be in jail right now if you hadn't
signed this prosecution agreement the
defense would normally do that to attack
somebody's credibility here the
prosecution brought it in on Direct of
their own Witnesses why because they
knew the defense would never do that
they had enough ways to poke holes in
the testimony of those two men and it
would have been far too prejudicial to
Trump to bring it up so the prosecution
brought it up on its own and it never
should have been allowed at the same
time the judge B Brad Smith Trump's
campaign Finance expert the former
commissioner of the FEC which has
exclusive jurisdiction to pursue claims
for violations of federal campaign
Finance law law barred his testimony as
unnecessary reduced Donald Trump if
you're going to put him on at all to
letting him Define a couple of terms
rendering him totally useless and
pointless so they didn't call him the
jury would have been confused why did he
get up there Define four terms and get
down so he sent the jury into that room
with Michael cohens and David peckers
and the prosecutors understanding a
federal election law that's it are you
shocked shocked that they when they got
in there with no counterbalance said
yeah it sounds like he did it look at
those other guys they're guilty of it
time and time again Stormy Daniels we we
did it without a condom yeah I I'm I'm
suddenly a me too victim he allowed it
all go on he they tried to stop it at
the front he said no she can do it she
can testify then in the middle she gets
salacious and disgusting and he calls a
sidebar saying why didn't you object
more to the Trump team okay fine she
should have objected more you just told
them they could do all of this right
it's like you you allowed it all you
green lit it it happened and then you
blam the defense for not being more
vocal while it was happening that's on
you judge Mera you did that there wasn't
an
objection that the prosecution raised
that he didn't sustain I mean if you
watch the if you read the jury
transcripts it's just ridiculous the
number of times he seed the floor to the
prosecution and dumped all over the
defense what he did to Costello I know
he was angry Costello wasn't a good
witness Trump insisted on calling him
that was clear only called two witnesses
he was the only substantive one and
Costello didn't like the judge and
behaved kind of badly and the judge
chose to humiliate him and throw a
temper tantrum and clear the courtroom
and basically telegraphed to the jury
that he didn't like him and didn't
believe him and guess what happened then
he wasn't even mentioned in the
defense's closing argument right it
didn't go well and the judge saw to it
that it wouldn't go well because he
couldn't man up when Costello behaved
poorly as a witness with the side eye
and some mumbling under his breath in
response to the judge's
comments Trump's team made mistakes and
that's without
question without
question he should have not admitted the
affair with stormy that wasn't necessary
but should have stipulated for the
purposes of trial let's assume something
did take place the defendant denies it
but doesn't see it as relevant to this
case we agree I think the prosecution
would have taken that the whole argument
is not over whether he had the one
nighter with her the arguments over
whether he entered into a scheme to shut
these women up who were threatening
him he had denied that he had an affair
with her from the beginning and he felt
the need to continue denying it even
even in the legal case this is one time
where Trump the guru of like seeing
things and like Landing it even though
everybody criticizes him for the
decision- making then after the fact
you're like oh my God he was right he
wasn't right here this is one time he
wasn't right he shouldn't have done that
it was not necessary to open the door to
her
testimony um they didn't object to half
of those jury instructions they didn't
object to the definition in there of
campaign Finance violations my God what
they let the jury go back there thinking
that what was in Donald Trump is the
governing standard what what was in
Donald's head is the governing standard
on figuring out whether somebody
violated election law was it was it
mostly for the campaign okay well that
it might have been no that's not the
standard the standard is what's the
nature of the payment is it the kind of
payment that could ever be made for
anything other than to advance a
campaign and if the answer is sure it is
it could be used in a number of
different circumstances like a hush
money payment then it's not a campaign
Finance
situation Brad Smith would have said
that had he been given the
chance the judge did not understand the
law and his jury instructions reflect
that the days to come will include
over-the-top reactions by the media
already we're getting things like Ellie
Mall who writes for the nation who's on
jooy Reed's show every night absolute
racist This Man convicted felons don't
get to vote vot
aha okay he may not be able to vote but
his supporters sure
can and if I know the country and I
think I do I don't think there's
anything you can do to stop the Trump
voters now I mean I think as much as
Maga was prepared to vote for Trump
before and even disaffected Republicans
who might not love Trump they're going
to run to the polls now they're going to
run to the polls now the question that
we have in the coming days and weeks is
what
about those groups of Republican voters
who voted for Joe Biden the last time
who were starting to come home who were
going to overlook some of Trump's
personality ticks that make him less
than appealing to a l a large number of
in particular
women who are starting to give him
another
look and that folks I don't know the
answer to
Independence if you believe the polling
large numbers of them said convicted
felon could change it for me even some
20 to 30% of the Republican base when P
said convicted felon might change it for
me I don't believe
it I don't believe it not here not off
this BS but you can't underestimate the
media and their constant drum beat that
we're we're going to get we're going to
get over and over over and over again
convicted fell and convicted fell and
convicted F and how is Trump going to
get any
Oxygen you know for his
message I don't know where this
lands if I have to predict I
say Trump gets no jail time and gets a
reversal on appeal but it comes too late
well pass the presidential
election you've got Tish James of New
York the AG tweeting out no one is above
the
law
really he was treated as beneath the law
as beneath
scorn what you've done to him I went
through the cases four criminal eing
Caroll Tish James this Fanny Willis
debacle down in Atlanta what a farce
what a joke she is does anyone take her
seriously you saw now like seeing her
through that whole disqualification
thing it shows you shows you look what
he's up against look at this hard is in
rabid person down there do you think
that's a fair prosecutor who's going to
give him a fair trial if she's given the
chance she just she's not even smart at
least Jack Smith seems kind of smart not
not very good and obviously not honest
but like not a
dumbass um it's amazing Joy Reed was out
there the other night talking about how
fun it was going to be to see all of her
this is how she put it her Dei hires all
her Dei my Dei taking Trump
down well she's not wrong that Soros
backed
Das hand placed in these positions to
not prosecute real
crime like Alvin Bragg Fanny Willis and
others have seen a crime for the first
time and gotten excited and salivated
over the prospect of pursuing it because
the defendant's name was Donald
Trump in this country we're supposed to
pursue crimes not people in the criminal
justice system it's a before and after
moment for the law
and for
us so what I think is going to
happen is I think
electorally it's going to help Trump
more than it hurts him that's my bet I
don't know we'll see the polling over
the next few weeks I don't believe the
soccer moms are going to be so disgusted
by this business records nonsense that
they're going to say I can't vote for
him but I don't know because the media
is just going to be Non-Stop
and I don't know that the increased
enthusiasm on the GOP side will be
enough you you can't win with just
Republicans you need Independence too
net net
though you couldn't ask for something
better to stimulate enthusiasm on the
GOP side you couldn't ask for better
this doesn't stimulate Democrats they're
not like yeah now I'm really going to
vote for Joe I mean if anything they're
going to watch how Trump handles this
they might feel a little sorry for the
guy what are we doing right who are we
you'll find out read the John U please
piece on National Review you'll find out
when the shoe is on the other foot and
all your favorites Let's find let's take
a look into Michelle Obama does she do
anything let's find out let's kick the
tires a little on their
foundation and figure out whether
there's a crime to be had if that's how
we're going to do it now we're going to
pursue the person not the crime then
let's do that great why not do Jill what
the hell how about Joe you know what we
already had a special counsel say that
he was guilty of a felony but he
couldn't pursue him because well meaning
elderly man who a jury wouldn't convict
well that's not always going to be the
case when Trump takes over if Trump
takes over we might need a new Fresh
look at the Joe Biden case I'm sorry we
didn't make these rules but we're going
to have to Lo learn how to play by them
we'll have more for you on this program
tomorrow with full coverage with all of
our Legal Eagles our our superpower
