and that tough that you would take on a
black belt in karate or whatever the
hell he was a very tough guy I can tell
you that there were muscles all over the
place on his ears on his neck
if I grabbed him around the neck I'm not
even sure he'd feel it he might not feel

away then they can March to the capital
of course Donald Trump's statements
against Cassidy Hutchinson are lies
they're defamatory and it's also
intimidating and harassing conduct
directed at a witness let's just take a
look at what the gag order in the
Washington DC criminal case States so
you can validate what I'm saying and why
I believe it is a violation of the gag
order you'll recall that back on
December 8th of 2023
the DC Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed
largely the gag order that was in place
by the Washington DC federal judge chuin
that case of course has been stayed it's
been paused while Donald Trump's made
his arguments of absolute presidential
immunity to the United States Supreme
Court they've not yet reached a decision
although we've covered the oral
arguments here on the mitus touch
Network let's take a look at what the DC
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on
December 8 2023 they said specifically
the gag order the ORD referring to the
gag order is affirmed to the extent it
prohibits all parties and their councel
from making or directing others to make
public statements about known or
reasonably foreseeable Witnesses
concerning their potential participation
in the investigation or in the criminal
proceeding the order also is confirm to
the extent it prohibits all parties and
their counsel for making or directing
others to make public statements about
councel in the case other than the
special counsel members of the Court
staff and Council staff or three the
family members of any Council or staff
members the fact that you even need an
order like that is uh really just a sad
state of the Republican party that this
even has to exist but Donald Trump
clearly made a statement right there
that was directed at the participation
of witnesses um concerning their part
their potential participation in the
investigation in the criminal proceeding
that would seem to be an obvious
violation I'll read more from that order
in just a moment but I want to share
this with you as well because Donald
Trump's moves that he makes the lies
that he tells he's very simple in what
he does he follows the same Playbook
tell the same big lie attack Witnesses
attack truth tellers like many of us you
might think identity theft will never
happen to you but consider this there's
a new identity theft victim every 3
seconds in the US that's over 15 million
people by the end of this year that's

here now you will recall as Donald Trump
is taking his day off from the Manhattan
district attorney criminal case the
evidence that came in yesterday um on
wed on Tuesday in that case um where uh
a C-SPAN archivist had to come in
because Donald Trump wouldn't
authenticate this on his own where back
in 2016 When Donald Trump was giving a
speech just like he's doing in 2024 now
he's giving the speech May 1st 2024 the
video I'm about to show you was in June
of
2016 where Donald Trump was saying
regarding all of these women who were
coming forward with stories about him he
doesn't know him none of them are true
this would never happen he calls them
you know that he makes he calls them
names the same way he's saying that
about cassid Hutchinson take a listen to
what Trump was saying in 2016 because
it's just the same playbook in 2024 and
he is a liar he play this clip as you
have seen right now I am being viciously
attacked with lies and
smears it's a phony deal I have no idea
who these women are I have no ideaa I
have no idea and I think you all know I
have no idea because you understand me
for a lot of years
[Applause]
okay when you looked at that horrible
woman last night you said I don't think
so I don't think so whoever she is
wherever she comes
from the stories are total fiction they
100% made up they never happened they
never would
happen I don't think that happened with
very many people but they certainly
aren't going to happen with
me let's take a look at what the DC
Circuit Court of Appeals also said in
its order go to page 36 of its order
affirming largely in part the gag order
which Donald Trump violated here's what
it says this is what the DC Circuit
Court of Appeal said it says Mr Trump's
documented pattern of speech and its
demonstrated realtime realworld
consequences pose a significant and
imminent threat to the functioning of
the criminal trial process in this case
in two respects first Mr Trump's uh
first Mr Trump's messages about known or
reasonably foreseeable witnesses that
concern their potential participation in
the criminal proceeding pose a
significant and imminent threat to
individuals willingness to participate
fully and candidly in the process to the
content of their testimony and evidence
and to the trial's essential truth
finding function the law has long
recognized the importance of shielding
Witnesses from the external influences
that undermine the Integrity of the
trial process it goes on to say courts
also have the authority to exclude
Witnesses from the courtroom instruct
them not to discuss their testimony with
others and even sequester them pending
their testimony all to protect them and
the evidence they offer from external
influences it goes on to say the concern
with defendants influences on witness is
so
significant that Congress has expressly
authorized courts to prevent defendants
from communicating with a witness that
restraints is so commonplace that Mr
Trump does not dispute the Court's
authority to have ordered him as a
condition of pre-trial release not to
communicate with Witnesses except in the
presence of council there is no question
that Mr Trump could not have said
directly to Mark Meadows former vice
president Pence or former Georgia
lieutenant governor Duncan any of the
statements he posted on social media
about their potential discussions with
the special counsel a grand jury
testimony and the consequences that
would follow yet the District Court's
prohibition on Trump's direct
communication with known Witnesses would
mean little if he can evade it by making
statements to a crowd knowing or
expecting that the witness will get the
message Mr Trump's councel conceded at
oral argument that the former president
speaking about the case with a megaphone
knowing that a witness is in the
audience would likely present the same
scenario as Mr Trump calling that
witness directly in violation of the
conditions of his release so it's right
there folks and I think special counsel
Jack Smith is going to call this out now
that Trump's already been found in
contempt in New York I think special
counsel Jack Smith should demand that
Donald Trump be incarcerated by the way
in Donald Trump's speech after
threatening and harassing and
intimidating Witnesses like Cassidy Json
Donald Trump apparently also doesn't
know how to say the word vegan play this
clip we're honored to be joined today by
Shana gray who owns a vegan restaurant
supposed to be really good I I'm not
into the vegan stuff I must say but I'm
gonna have to try this Donald Trump also
bragged about overturning roie Wade play
the clip a couple of States I won't
mention but a couple of States really
surprise people but basically the states
decide on abortion and people people are
absolutely thrilled with the way that's
going on every and then Donald Trump
attacked President Biden's job numbers
saying that because President Biden got
all of these jobs that that's fake
apparently play this clip the Biden job
numbers are fake he's counting people
coming back from work so that's what's
going on in Wisconsin we'll give you a a
more full update in just a little bit
but I wanted to give you that clear uh
