thank you very much
everybody this is
a a case where if they can do this to me
they can do this to anyone these are bad
people these are many cases I believe
sick people when you look at our country
what's happening where millions and
millions of people are flowing in from
all parts of the world not just South
America from Africa from Asia from the
Middle East and they're coming in from
jails and
prisons and they're coming in from
mental institutions and insane
asylums they're coming in from all over
the world into our
country and we have a president and a
group of fascists that don't want to do
anything about it because they could
right now today he could stop it but
he's not they're destroying our country
our country is in very bad shape and
they're very much against me saying
these things they want to raise your
taxes by four
times they want to stop you from having
cars with their ridiculous mandates that
make it impossible for you to get a car
or afford a car but make it very
possible for China to build all of our
cars it's a very serious
problem that we have we just uh went
through one of many
experiences where we had a conflicted
judge highly conflicted there's never
been a more conflicted judge now I'm
under a gag order which nobody's ever
been under no presidential candidate's
ever been under a gag order before I'm
under a gag order nasty gag order where
I've had to pay thousands of dollars in
penalties and fines and was threatened
with jail think of it I'm the leading
candidate I'm leading Biden by a lot and
I'm
leading the Republicans to the point
where that's over so I'm the leading
person for president and I'm under a gag
order by a man that can't put two
sentences together given by a court and
they are in total conjunction with the
White House and the doj just so you
understand this is all done by Biden and
his people maybe it's people more
importantly I don't know if Biden knows
too much about it because I don't know
if he knows about anything but he's
nevertheless the president so we have to
use his name and this is done by
Washington and nobody's ever seen
anything like it so we have a judge
who's highly conflicted you know what
the confliction is nobody nobody wants
to write about it and I'm not allowed to
talk about it if I do he said I get put
in
jail so we'll play that game a little
bit longer we won't talk about it but
you're allowed to talk about it I hope
you do because there's never been
anybody so conflicted as
this as far as the trial itself it was
very
unfair we weren't allowed to allowed to
use our election expert under any
circumstances uh you saw what happened
to some of the witnesses that were on
our side they were literally crucified
by this man who looks like an angel but
he's really a devil he looks so nice and
soft people say oh he seems like such a
nice man no unless you saw him in action
and you saw
that with a certain witness that went
through
hell and when we wanted to do things he
wouldn't let him he wouldn't let us do
those things but when the government
wanted something they got everything
they got everything they wanted it's a
rigged it was a rigged trial we wanted a
venue change
where we could have a fair trial we
didn't get it we wanted a judge change
we wanted a judge that wasn't
conflicted and obviously he didn't do
that uh there's nobody's ever seen
anything like it we had a DA who is a
failed da crime is rampant in New York
violent crime that's what he's really
supposed to be looking at crime is
rampant in New York yesterday in
McDonald's you had a man
hitting them up with with machetes a
machete whoever can imagine even a
machete being wielded in a store in a
place where they're eating and he's
going rampant and brag is down watching
a trial on what they call uh crimes
crimes they're falsifying business
records that sounds so bad to me it
sounds very bad you know it's only a
misdemeanor but to me it sounds so bad
when they say falsifying business that's
a bad thing for me I've never had that
before I'm falsifying you know what
falsifying business records is in the
first degree they say falsifying
business records sound so good right it
means that legal expense I paid a lawyer
totally legal I paid a lawyer a legal
expense and a bookkeeper without any
knowledge from me correctly marked it
down in the books very professional
woman highly respected she
testified marked it down to the books as
a legal expense so a legal
expense paid a lawyer is a legal expense
in the books it's not uh
sheetrock
construction or any other thing it's a
legal expense think of that this is what
the falsification of business records
were and I said what else are you going
to call it what else are you going to
call it now I would have testified I
wanted to testify the theory is you
never testify because as soon as you
testify anybody if it were George
Washington don't testify because they'll
get you on something that you said
slightly wrong and then they sue you for
perjury but I didn't care about that I
wanted to but the judge allowed them to
go into everything that I was ever
involved in not this case everything
that I was ever involved in which is a
first other words you could go into
every single
thing that I ever did was he a bad boy
here was he a bad boy
there and my L said what do you need to
go through and all you wanted to do is
testify simply on this case because I
would have loved to have testified to
this day I would have liked to have
testified but you would have been you
would have said something out of whack
like it was a beautiful sunny day and it
was actually raining out and I very much
appreciate the big crowd of people
outside that's incredible what's
happening the level of support has been
incredible so the whole thing is
legal expense was marked down as legal
expense think of this this is my this is
the crime that I committed that I'm
supposed to go to jail for 187 years
for when you have violent crime all over
this city at levels that nobody's ever
seen before where you have businesses
leaving and businesses are leaving
because of this because heads of
businesses say man we don't want to get
involved with that I could go through
the books of any business person in this
city and I could find things that in
theory I guess let's indict him let's
destroy his
life but I'm out there and I don't mind
being out there because I'm doing
something for this country and I'm doing
something for our constitution it's very
important far beyond me and this can't
be allowed to happen to other presidents
it should never be allowed to
happen in the future but this is far
beyond me this is bigger than Trump this
is bigger than me this is bigger than my
presidency and the people understand it
because I just see a poll just came out
the Daily Mail that was the first one
came out was done last night right after
the verdict where I'm up six points six
points from what we already were we were
leading fa fairly substantially we're up
six points in the Daily Mail poll now
maybe other polls come out and says
something differently but a lot of
people have predicted it because the
public understands and they understand
what
what's going on this is a scam this is a
rig
trial it shouldn't have been in that
venue we shouldn't have had that judge
he should have allowed allowed us to
have an election expert we had the best
expert most respected expert head of the
federal elections commission he was all
set to testify he was waiting for two
days and when it was his turn Bragg's
people
protested and the judge knocked them out
said you can't test testify he actually
said you can't testify for anything
having to do with the trial you can say
what the federal elections is well that
doesn't help everybody knows that but
you can't testify so essentially he
wasn't able to testify other people
weren't able to testify but with these
people they were able to
use people
salacious by the way and nothing ever
happened there was no anything nothing
ever happened and they know it but they
were as Sal as salacious as they could
be and it had nothing to do with the
case but it had to do with politics and
do you notice the timing the timing was
perfect this case was dead it was
dropped by every agency every
governmental board it was dropped by the
highly respected southern district they
said no there's no case here it was
dropped by federal election and that's
what it's about this about a federal
election not a state election you're not
even allowed to look at it they took the
state and the city and they went into a
federal election they're not allowed the
people from federal election southern
district and Washington dropped the case
everybody dropped the case there was no
case sance dropped the case and when
Brad came in he said this is the most
ridiculous case I've ever seen and who
would have a certain person again gag
order who would have a certain person
like this ever testify he said this is
essentially one of the worst people I've
I've ever seen ever to
testify he said the craziest case I've
ever seen this is
Brag then when I announced I was running
for president long time later they
decided to revive this case and they got
a
judge
judge Martian who
was responsible for another case that
was also brought it destroyed the life
of a very good man by the way destroyed
the life
of a very good man who went to prison
once and then they just put him in
prison again because they said he he
lied he didn't lie I looked at the
statements he made in fact he didn't
remember something and they put him in
jail again they've destroyed him with me
for many years he was an honorable
person he was an honest
man and if you look at what he did
supposedly it never happened there's
never been anything like this over the
education of his
grandchildren over he didn't report that
he had a car or two cars on his income I
don't know I wonder how many people here
have cars I wonder how many people said
oh gee I have a car that's worth X doll
how do you even figure it and I guess
you do have to report it but I would say
probably almost nobody does nobody even
thinks about it they put this man they
destroyed this man but they put him in
jail again because they didn't want him
to
testify they didn't want him to testify
that's why he went to
jail put him in jail
twice he's 77 years old now normally I'd
say that's an old guy but I don't feel
77 nobody ever says that about me I'd
like them to say gee we have to have a
little sorrow for this man because they
don't they just don't say that about me
but maybe I'm better off that way I
think I'm probably better off that way
but they put him in jail twice
and you have to see what they put him in
jail and he was threatened by the
judge this man was told you're going to
get 15 years in
jail if you don't give up Trump and he
was told that you're G to get 15 years
in
jail and he made a plea deal because he
didn't want to spend the rest of his
life and he was told that
viciously we're living in a in a fascist
state he was told that
viciously so you can go to jail for four
months 5 months or you can get 15 years
in jail so do a
plea almost who wouldn't do that plea
everyone does those pleas it's a
horrible thing there's a whole group of
lawyers that fight that it's so unfair
it's so unfair but they destroyed his
life so many other things uh you look at
Southern District didn't want to bring
the case
nobody wanted to bring the case and then
you know who didn't want to bring the
case most of all is brag brag didn't
want to bring it but then he brought it
and they tried to make it a different
case they didn't say legal expense equal
legal expense
again if I wrote
down and paid a lawyer and by the way
this was a highly qualified lawyer now
I'm not allowed to use his name because
of the gag order but you know he's a SLE
bag everybody knows that took me a while
to find out but he was effective he did
work but he wasn't a fixer he was a
lawyer you know they like to use the
word fixer he wasn't a fix he was a
lawyer at the time he was a a fully
accredited lawyer now he got into
trouble not because of me he got into
trouble because he made outside deals
and he had something to do with taxi
cabs and medallions and he borrowed
money and that's why he went and then he
pled to
three uh three election
violations and as soon as I saw that I
said I wonder why he did that he pled he
took a deal now he took a deal because
he wanted to get off in other words I'll
take a plea deal and I want to get off
and he wanted to make a deal with the
southern district and they
wrote the worst report I think I've ever
seen on any human being other than the
report that was written on James Comey
by the Inspector General a very great
Inspector General general actually wrote
a report that was so bad this one was
possibly
worse the southern district the judge
didn't let us use it he said it's heay I
said it's not heay wouldn't let us use
it this is about the man but he got in
trouble for a very simple reason because
he was involved with borrowing a lot of
money and he did something with the bank
side I don't know if it defrauded the
banks but something happened you guys
know what it is and then in addition
into that he gave up on three things
where he wasn't guilty in fact they were
going to testify in that the uh head of
the FEC the Brad Smith the election
expert number one rated in the country
was going to testify he took a plea on
three things he just added them in
because that gave him more bargaining
power with respect to me but the three
things that he pled on having to do with
the
election and having to do essentially a
little bit with me uh they weren't
crimes they weren't crimes nor is paying
money under an NDA so we have an NDA
non-disclosure agreement it's a big deal
a non-disclosure agreement totally
honorable totally good totally accepted
everybody has
them every company has non-disclosure
agreements but the Press called it slush
fund and all sorts of other things hush
money hush money it's not hush money
it's called the non-disclosure agreement
and most of the people in this room have
a non-disclosure agreement with their
company it's a
