Keywords

πŸ’‘Trump Campaign

The Trump Campaign refers to the political efforts and fundraising activities undertaken by former President Donald Trump's team as he seeks to run for office again. In the script, it is mentioned that a lot of money has been coming into the Trump Campaign following a verdict, indicating a surge of support and financial backing from voters who are motivated, likely due to a perceived injustice or political motivation behind the verdict.

πŸ’‘Republican Congressional Committee

The Republican Congressional Committee is the organization responsible for supporting Republican candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives. The script highlights that this committee raised $300,000 one night, which is a significant amount and second only to the amount raised on the day the Speaker was elected, suggesting a high level of engagement and financial support from donors.

πŸ’‘Political Exercise

A political exercise, as mentioned by Mike Johnson in the script, refers to actions or maneuvers that are driven by political motivations rather than legal or factual merits. Johnson, a lawyer and former litigator, argues that the situation involving President Trump is a 'purely political exercise, not a legal one,' suggesting that he believes the legal proceedings against Trump are motivated by political bias rather than a genuine pursuit of justice.

πŸ’‘Fundraising

Fundraising in the context of this script refers to the process of collecting financial contributions, especially for political campaigns. It is noted that the Trump campaign and the Republican Congressional Committee have seen significant fundraising success, with record-breaking amounts being raised. This indicates a high level of support and engagement from the public, which is often a critical factor in political campaigns.

πŸ’‘Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States and has the final say on legal matters. In the script, there is a discussion about the Supreme Court potentially stepping in to address a legal situation involving the former president. The expectation is that the court's involvement could correct what is perceived as an abuse of the legal system and restore faith in justice.

πŸ’‘Legal System

The legal system encompasses the institutions, rules, and procedures through which justice is administered. The script discusses the potential destruction of the legal system due to political motivations, suggesting that the integrity and fairness of the legal process are at risk. The speaker argues that the American people's faith in the legal system is being diminished by the current situation.

πŸ’‘Sentencing

Sentencing refers to the judicial process of determining the punishment for a convicted individual. In the script, there is mention of a sentencing date set for July 11th, which is after a debate between two candidates. This raises questions about how the sentencing might affect the political landscape, including the Republican National Convention and the campaigning process.

πŸ’‘Deep State

The term 'deep state' is used to describe an alleged secret network of influential members within government agencies, often believed to be working against the interests of the elected government. In the script, the speaker suggests that President Trump is seen as a symbol fighting back against the 'deep state,' government corruption, and bureaucracy, indicating a belief in a covert opposition to his administration.

πŸ’‘Commander-in-Chief Immunity

Commander-in-Chief immunity refers to the legal protection that a sitting president may have from certain types of legal proceedings. The script discusses the importance of this principle, suggesting that it is crucial to prevent a president from being unduly harassed by legal actions that could distract from their duties. The speaker argues for the need to make this principle more concrete and to expand it.

πŸ’‘Recusal

Recusal is the act of a judge voluntarily removing themselves from a case due to a conflict of interest or the appearance of bias. In the script, there is mention of calls for Justice Alito to be recused from future cases because of perceived bias, illustrating the high-stakes and contentious nature of the legal and political environment surrounding the case.

πŸ’‘Gag Order

A gag order is a legal order prohibiting individuals involved in a court case from discussing the case publicly. In the script, it is mentioned that there was a gag order in place, which the speaker argues was an unconstitutional restriction on free speech, particularly for a major political party nominee running for president.

01:50

HOW DOES THIS PLAY OUT?

01:54

I MEAN YOU GOT THE FORMER

01:56

PRESIDENT.

01:56

IS HE GOING TO APPEAL THIS.

01:57

DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO

01:58

HAPPEN BEFORE THE ELECTION?

01:59

MOST ANALYSTS SAY IT'S NOT.

02:01

DO YOU THINK THAT THE SUPREME

02:02

COURT HAS A DUTY TO STEP IN

02:04

SINCE THIS WILL IMPACT, YOU

02:07

KNOW, THE ELECTION?

02:08

I KNOW WE WANT TO ACT LIKE HE IS

02:09

JUST A NORMAL GUY.

02:10

BUT HE IS THE LEADING

02:12

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, THE

02:13

VOTERS SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S GOING

THE LEGAL SYSTEM?

02:20

>> WELL, THERE IS A LOT OF

IN OBVIOUSLY.

02:27

THIS IS TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED.

02:28

AND IT'S DANGEROUS TO OUR

02:29

SYSTEM.

02:30

WE HAVE ALL DISCUSSED THIS

02:30

BEFORE AND YOU ALL TALK ABOUT IT

02:32

ALL THE TIME.

02:32

THIS IS DIMINISHING THE AMERICAN

02:34

PEOPLE'S FAITH IN OUR SYSTEM OF

02:36

JUSTICE ITSELF.

02:36

AND TO MAINTAIN A REPUBLIC, YOU

02:38

HAVE TO HAVE THAT.

02:39

PEOPLE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT

02:41

JUSTICE IS FAIR, THAT THERE IS

02:42

EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW.

02:43

THEY DON'T SEE THAT RIGHT NOW.

02:45

AND I THINK THAT THE JUSTICES ON

02:47

THE COURT, I KNOW MANY OF THEM

02:49

PERSONALLY, I THINK THEY ARE

02:50

DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS

02:51

WE ARE.

02:52

SO, I THINK THEY WILL SET THIS

02:53

STRAIGHT, BUT, IT'S GOING TO

02:54

TAKE A WHILE.

02:55

YOU ARE RIGHT.

02:56

THE PROCESS TAKES A WHILE TO

02:57

PLAY OUT.

02:58

THE DEMOCRATS KNOW THAT, OF

02:59

COURSE.

02:59

AND THEY ARE DRAGGING IT OUT.

03:00

THAT WAS THE WHOLE OBJECTIVE.

03:02

THEY WANT TO TRY TO BANKRUPT

03:03

DONALD TRUMP.

03:03

THEY WANT TO DIMINISH HIS

03:05

CREDIBILITY.

03:05

AND GO AFTER HIS CHARACTER.

03:07

THEY WANTED TO KEEP HIM OFF THE

03:08

CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WHICH THEY WERE

03:09

SUCCESSFUL IN DOING FOR MANY

03:11

WEEKS.

03:11

NOW THEY WANT TO CALL HIM THE

03:12

CONVICTED FELON.

03:13

THIS WILL BE OVERTURNED, GUYS.

03:15

THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

03:16

IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO

03:18

DO IT.

03:18

>> Brian: RIGHT.

03:19

GO AHEAD.

03:20

>> Ainsley: THANKS, BRIAN.

03:20

IN THE MEANTIME THE SENTENCING

03:22

DATE IS JULY 11TH AFTER THE

03:25

FIRST DEBATE.

03:25

THE TWO CANDIDATES WILL DEBATE.

03:27

THEN THERE IS GOING TO BE THE

03:28

SENTENCING DEBATE.

03:29

HOW IS THAT GOING TO EFFECT THE

03:31

RNC?

03:31

WHAT IF THERE IS HOME

03:33

CONFINEMENT.

03:33

DOES THE CONVENTION STILL

03:34

HAPPEN?

03:34

DOES HE ZOOM IN ON THE SCREEN?

03:36

HOW DOES HE CAMPAIGN IF HE GOES

03:37

TO PRISON?

03:38

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

03:39

WILL HE BE IN PRISON WITH SECRET

03:40

SERVICE ON ELECTION DAY?

03:42

>> WE'RE IN UNCHARTERED WATERS,

03:45

RIGHT?

03:45

NO THERE IS NO PREDICTION

03:47

AGAINST HIM BEING ELECTED

03:48

PRESIDENT EVEN IF HE IS CONFINED

03:50

SOMEWHERE.

03:50

BUT I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT

03:51

DOESN'T HAPPEN.

03:52

YOU KNOW, THERE IS LOTS OF

03:53

DISCUSSION.

03:54

WE TALKED ABOUT IT ALL LAST

03:55

NIGHT THERE WILL BE MORE

03:56

DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT HOW WE

03:57

MIGHT ADJUST THINGS IN THE

03:58

SCHEDULE AND ALL OF THAT I WILL

04:00

TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

04:01

I PREDICT THIS WILL INCREASE

04:02

TURNOUT ON OUR SIDE.

04:04

HE WILL WIN, DECISIVELY.

04:05

HE WILL BECOME THE NEXT

04:06

PRESIDENT.

04:07

HE WAS ALREADY, AS I SAID,

04:08

CRUSHING JOE BIDEN IN THE POLLS.

04:09

I THINK AS THIS PLAYS OUT AND

04:11

PEOPLE GET MORE AND MORE

04:12

FRUSTRATED ABOUT IT, I THINK IT

04:14

WILL HELP US AND THAT HUGE

04:16

ENTHUSIASM GAP THAT ALREADY

04:17

EXISTED BETWEEN THE TRUMP AND

04:18

BIDEN CAMPAIGNS WILL BE EVEN

04:20

WIDER.

04:20

PEOPLE NOW SEE DONALD TRUMP AS A

04:22

SYMBOL OF SOMETHING.

04:22

IS HE MORE THAN JUST AN

04:24

INDIVIDUAL.

04:25

HE IS A SIN BOWL OF FIGHTING

04:26

BACK AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT

04:28

CORRUPTION, THE DEEP STATE, THE

04:29

BUREAUCRACY AND ALL THE REST.

04:30

AND WE NEED HIS LEADERSHIP IN

04:32

THE WHITE HOUSE NOW MORE THAN

04:34

EVER.

04:34

>> Brian: JUST SEEING FOR THE

04:36

LAST FIVE OR SIX WEEKS.

04:37

EVERYTHING STOPPED, EVERYONE WAS

04:38

WATCHING BECAUSE THE NUMBER ONE

04:39

STORY IN BIG AND SMALL TOWNS

04:40

ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

04:41

YOU WONDER THE OTHER THREE

04:43

CASES, THE OTHER THREE

04:44

INDICTMENTS, WILL THEY SEE THE

04:45

LIGHT OF DAY?

04:46

NO ONE CAN SAY FOR SURE.

04:48

BUT, WE EXPECT DIDN'T THE

04:49

SUPREME COURT TO RULE ON

04:52

IMMUNITY.

04:52

YOU HAVE SUCH A RICH LEGAL

04:55

BACKGROUND.

04:55

WHAT SHOULD WE ALL BE LOOKING

04:56

FOR THERE?

04:57

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HOPING FOR.

04:58

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE RULINGS IT

05:01

COULD HAVE?

05:02

>> LOOK, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE

05:03

COURT NEEDS TO ADDRESS THAT

05:05

CLEARLY.

05:05

WE HAVE TO SET A STANDARD HERE.

05:06

THERE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT

05:08

PRINCIPLE OF IMMUNITY FOR

05:10

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

05:11

I MEAN, THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN PART

05:12

OF OUR LEGAL TRADITION AND IT

05:13

MAKES GOOD SENSE.

05:14

YOU CAN'T HAVE SOMEBODY SITTING

05:15

IN THE OVAL OFFICE WORRIED ABOUT

05:17

SOME ROGUE PROSECUTOR SOMEWHERE,

05:19

SOME SOROS FUNDED D.A. OR SOME

05:21

LAWYER THAT'S GOING TO COME

05:22

AFTER THEM FOR THEIR DECISIONS

05:24

THAT PRINCIPLE NEEDS TO BE MADE

05:26

CONCRETE AND NEEDS TO BE

05:27

EXPANDED.

05:27

I THINK THIS COURT WILL DO THE

05:28

RIGHT THING.

05:29

BECAUSE THEY SEE THE ABUSE OF

05:30

THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.

05:32

AND THAT'S THE GREATEST PERIL

05:34

HERE OF ALL AT THE END OF THE

05:35

DAY.

05:36

THIS TRANSCENDS DONALD TRUMP.

05:37

IT'S ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE

05:38

PEOPLE BELIEVE IN OUR

05:40

INSTITUTIONS, OUR SYSTEM OF

05:41

JUSTICE.

05:41

THERE'S NOTHING LARGER THAN THAT

05:43

IN OUR SYSTEM.

05:44

>> Steve: RIGHT.

05:44

AND WE WERE TALKING TO MARK

05:46

PENN, THE VERY FAMOUS POLLSTER A

05:48

LITTLE WHILE AGO, MR. SPEAKER,

05:49

ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO

05:51

BAMMER RANG ON THE DEMOCRATS.

05:52

BUT, NONETHELESS, EVEN THOUGH IT

05:54

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO

05:56

BOOMERANG AND COME BACK TO HAUNT

05:58

THEM, YOU KNOW, EVERYDAY, EVERY

06:00

MINUTE THEY CAN, THE CAMPAIGN IS

06:01

GOING TO REFER TO HIM AS DONALD

06:03

TRUMP CONVICTED FELON RIGHT

06:06

UNTIL O-I RIGHT UP UNTIL, YOU

06:08

KNOW, IT'S OVERTURNED ON APPEAL

06:09

IF IT IS.

06:11

>> YEAH.

06:11

AND THEY WILL STILL SAY THAT

06:13

AFTER THE APPEAL I'M SURE.

06:14

THAT'S WHAT WAS THE WHOLE

06:15

OBJECTIVE OF THIS THING.

06:16

I'M TELLING YOU THAT THE PEOPLE

06:17

SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT.

06:18

I HAVE BEEN ALL ACROSS THE

06:20

COUNTRY, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST,

06:21

WEST.

06:21

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M IN

06:23

A WHETHER YOU STATE OR A RED

06:24

STATE.

06:24

PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTED BY.

06:26

THIS THEY SEE EXACTLY WHAT IS

06:27

HAPPENING.

06:28

OLD CHARGES, A TAINTED JUDGE.

06:29

I MEAN, THINK OF IT.

06:30

IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,

06:32

THEY HAVE BEEN APOPLECTIC, THEY

06:34

WANT JUSTICE ALITO TO BE RECUSED

06:37

FROM FUTURE CASES AND

06:38

PROCEEDINGS BECAUSE HIS WIFE

06:39

FLEW A FLAG AT THEIR HOUSE.

06:40

THIS JUDGE ON THIS CASE IN

06:42

MANHATTAN WAS AN OPEN BIDEN

06:44

SUPPORTER.

06:44

AN OPEN, YOU KNOW, ACTIVIST.

06:46

A POLITICAL ACTIVIST AND NO ONE

06:47

CARED ABOUT THAT.

06:48

THE DOUBLE STANDARD IS CLEAR.

06:49

EVERYBODY SEES IT.

06:51

>> Ainsley: I WAS WATCHING ALINA

06:52

LAST NIGHT, ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS

06:53

FOR DONALD TRUMP.

06:54

SHE SAID WHEN THE JUDGE, WHEN

06:55

THE VERDICT WAS READ, HE HAD TO

06:57

PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS MOUTH.

06:58

AND SHE SAID SHE SUSPECTS IT'S

07:01

TO HIDE A SMILE.

07:03

WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?

07:03

07:04

07:06

THE GROUND.

I SAW THAT BANANA REPUBLIC TRIAL

07:09
