Laura, you know, you hit the nail on the head, the media doesn't focus on what, if any, crime there is here. There's salacious details on them and they're very interesting to some people. But you asked how could the case get this far? The answer to that is Judge Murchand. No normal judge would allow this case to go forward, just since the DA's office didn't think it should go forward when Mark Pomerance presented it. The question is, do we ever, do we really believe that for a candidate to want to either pay extortion money or hide some fact that may be unpleasant from the public, that that's really election interference, but the problem is we don't even know what they claim the charge is. We don't necessarily even get to the misdemeanor because that requires an intent to defraud with the way the thing was booked. You can be sure President Trump didn't direct how this was to be booked, but if you got to that, they then have to prove that he did that with the intent to commit some other crime. If the grand jury ever charging what that other crime is, it's impossible to defend. Let's say that through this witness, it's to cover up some salacious fact to help himself in the election. But another witness says, well, it's really a campaign finance violation. Another one says, no, it's really a tax violation. A defendant doesn't have to hit a moving target all of the time. I think today's testimony perfectly highlights what many of the problems are with this case. And by the way, would it be to advance a campaign if someone plagiarized and then covered that up? Or if somebody ruined a server that might have had embarrassing details on it and emails on it to promote a candidacy? Would those be illegal? Were they ever charged against any other candidate? Did you get the sense that they're just kind of almost given up over at the law practice of never Trump LLC? I mean, today really kind of took the cake for me. They never give up, Laura, and they never will give up no matter how many times they're slapped down. There was nothing in today's testimony that changed the underlying legal problems that I think Bragg is going to have or that changes the key facts in the case. And the key problem is it's not illegal, as you pointed out, it's not illegal to pay somebody money to catch and kill a story. It's not illegal to reimburse a publisher who pays that money. To convict Trump under the latest esoteric theory, you have to show that he conspired to promote his own election by unlawful means. But as we have pointed out, apparently the theory is the unlawful means was that they didn't report this or they were trying to stop from reporting this as a federal campaign expenditure. But as we know, that actually is not the federal campaign expenditure law. So I don't see any movement by them at all here. It's a very troubling case. Even if they get a conviction, I think it stands a chance of being reversed on appeal.

Now, the Democrats' doomsday scenarios have only just begun. In fact, Democrats really only have three election day strategies, fear mongering about abortion, fear mongering about Donald Trump. But last but not least, using the justice system as a political weapon. Right now, we know President Trump is facing the biggest phony witch hunt civil trial in the history of New York. But today, the state forced his daughter, Ivanka, to testify as a witness. And needless to say, the far left Trump-hating judge was downright giddy, according to the New York Post. Quote, "When a state lawyer called the mother of three to the witness stand, well, the judge in the case, Arthur Ngoron, drily joked, 'Oh, who's she?'" Oh, he's a comedian on top of everything else, a showboating judge. Now, throughout the trial, this judge has been abusively biased, constantly ruling against Trump and his family in virtually every motion. He's sticking to the idiotic, you know, frankly, it's just insane valuation of Mar-a-Lago at 18 million when it's much closer to a billion. He's guilty of the very thing they're accusing Trump of, and he's seen the judge to take great pleasure in doing so. This is not a fair trial, it's a political hit job. I wouldn't expect this in the USA. Trump, he's not letting this slow him down tonight. Well, there he is in Florida for a massive rally. Let's take a look. - Our country has never seen the likes of what you witnessed in America last weekend with the menacing mobs of Hamas supporters chanting their jihad slogans in the streets of our cities. They shouted, "Allah Akbar," while calling the barbaric Hamas terrorist martyrs, they were saying martyrs. In times like these, you can't afford to have a president who wants to be politically correct. We have to do things properly. We cannot have an administration that takes foreign policy advice from Ilhan Omar or Rashida Talib. Can't do that.

They think they have Trump exactly where they want him but once again it is backfiring in the most spectacular Way on the swamp on corrupt Democrats prosecutors everywhere President Trump today in court They thought this would be the end of him It's the opposite and to see him there defending himself when he actually doesn't have to be this one's very very important They're trying to take away his entire empire now as usual. I noticed a few things that escaped the Notice of your average commentator number one the prosecutors giggling to themselves Giggling and enjoying themselves. What was that all about? Are they really next picture, please? Are they really laughing at something funny or are they nervous? I think they're totally nervous like what he actually showed up wait. This is actually going forward what? Just a theory also. I've watched a lot of courtrooms. I've never seen a judge hamming up like this. Have you what the hell? Is he doing who acts like that seriously? I've seen judge Watner. I've seen judge Edo. I've seen judge Judy I've seen one more time, please Look at that mugging for the camera. Who does this guy think he is it is totally weird. Yeah, what who me? Yeah, you bud judge ergor on is that his name take a look at all the Democrats to whom he has given money over the years Lots and lots and lots of Democrats. This guy is what they call a Clubhouse politician and he said some pretty weird things over the years. Yes, horrendously liberal Rulings, but also this I love the freedom the instant cash getting to meet people Learning how to drive like a maniac without being caught what? Like you could never find a quote of Donald Trump saying he loved breaking the law and not being caught What is this all about? He drove a taxi and he loved blowing off Regulations that endangered average people. This is serious actually and then there was the Attorney General of New York She shouldn't be the Attorney General Latisha James who look at this. She's just staring at the back of Trump Right, isn't that I mean she should be at work. She didn't say one word in court, but she's just sitting there This is a person who is a politician who doesn't know much actually her colleague at one point looks at her like Are you crazy? Are you gonna stare at him the entire day? But this is who Latisha James is. She's very weird. She's not particularly smart and She said a lot of things that she should not say at least look you can think these things I guess that's wrong, too, but to say them out loud Will you sue him for us? Oh, we're gonna definitely sue him. We're gonna be a real pain in the ass He's gonna know my name personally Wow, she's gonna what get his ass that's so bad so wrong. She wasn't even Attorney General She's running for it now in the next sequence He tries to do this Maya Angelou thing and make herself sound really really important but this is This is disbarment material. You can't be I think you can't be like this as an attorney I'm running for Attorney General because I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake Did she say yes, she did never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president if I called Joe Biden an illegitimate president You know how quickly I'd be banned from Facebook kicked off a Twitter right shadow ban soft canceled all kinds of things But if you're saying this about Trump, it is a okay. All right, and then today on the steps of the courthouse My message is simple no matter how powerful you are no matter how much money you think you may have No one is above the law And it is my responsibility and my duty and my job to enforce it The law is both powerful and fragile and today in court. We will prove our case I thank you all for being here. And again, justice will prevail Oh, it sounds so noble, but it's not you heard what she said year before she's elected Attorney General We're gonna get his you know, what and can we please stop pretending that Trump doesn't have the money who well He's been flying his own plane since 2002 they are convinced. He's not a billionaire. He's still all these indictments He's showing up in his own plane. But yeah, you keep going something I need you to know though about this Attorney General. She believes that this is beautiful. Yeah this horrendous Idea of drag queens showing up to read to kids in public school Well, she's even doing it herself as Attorney General there She is on the left showed up at this perverse festival for children run by drag queens now what in the world what a Law enforcement person being at something like this unless they had a totally corrupt agenda. All right Enough for her for the time being let's hear from President Trump man. He was strong We're wasting our time on this trial With the Democrat judge from the clubhouse is it's a disgrace they ought to look for the murderers and the killers that are all over New York killing people and The violent crime that's being committed in our city and our state is disgraceful And we're going to be here for months with the judge that already made up his mind. It's ridiculous He's a Democrat judge. He's an operative and it's ridiculous Other than that things went very well. I Love it. I love it, but I've never heard of that man, right ridiculous and it is it is now the whole mainstream media The only universe is talking about President Trump. It's fascinating though. Once he starts talking This is available to all the networks on live television. Once he starts defending himself. What do they do? They run they shut him down. They cancel him. They censor him so quick. Watch what happened Okay, Donald Trump civil fraud trial getting underway any moment now inside this Manhattan courthouse the former president you can see is On-site he and his entourage arrived several minutes ago and at the crux of this trial are the Allegations that he his sons and his family Empire committed fraud just so you know, my financial statements are phenomenal They are actually less in terms of the numbers used Alright, you've been listening to Donald Trump as he's getting ready to walk into the courtroom Donald Trump speaking I think now we know for sure. This is a campaign event exactly for Donald Trump He's speaking. He's in court. They shut him down. They cancel it They pretend for some higher reason they are dumping out of his of his press conference essentially Yet when Latisha James his adversary when she speaks the world shuts down and listens This is an operative the Democrats to wake up and deal with the border situation right now, right and it's important again Wait, it's important. Let's go to Latisha James and we'll come back to this motion for some read judgment today We will prove our other claims My message is simple no matter how powerful you are. All right now, it's my turn to interrupt Let's turn the volume down on her. We heard from her plenty I gave her her airtime, but you saw that right? They just dumped out of their interview go right to her breaking news and they canceled a soft cancel president Trump We can't hear him speak we can talk about him, but you can't hear from him directly. How about that? This lawsuit also she filed it a year ago in September of 2022. It is now the first Monday in October It's one year basically one year. You know how ludicrously fast this is for a complex trial like this Simple cases take much longer to get the court if you get divorced in Arkansas the soonest time the soonest would be 140 days from the time you file ever hear about the McDonald's case pretty simple case Somebody got burned in the drive-thru with the hot coffee Two years after the lawsuit was filed. There's a California matter Six years, California sues quest diagnostics that took six years. Let's see Oh, who remembers Brett Michaels when his head got caught in the curtain? Three years after was actually filed and it goes on and on and on like this Totally not fair what is happening to President Trump and God forbid President Trump defends himself That just can't be I mean that is Listen to whether they say his defending himself is a threat to democracy It's an extraordinary moment for our democracy a former president denouncing a sitting judge It's one thing to say that he felt he was treated unfairly that he disagreed with the ruling But this is this is really going to the heart of of our democracy Which after all relies on the rule of law relies on confidence in courts and judges What kind of statement is that they're trying to take away everything from this man his property is freedom He is allowed to defend himself judges are not special They are American citizens a member of Congress they can blast the president the mainstream media blasts him all day long And he can't defend himself. That's what they're trying to set up now. They have failed Hideously, and you know what President Trump's tumped tough talk might just be working I think that was very good That last five minutes was outstanding Because the judge essentially conceded that the statute of limitations That we want to be one of the bills Is in effect therefore about 80% of the cases over I? Was going to come out and say that as you know, we're not entitled to a jury which is pretty unusual in the United States of America so You think it's very unfair that I don't have a jury, but the judge's last statement was very fair Wow, I mean sometimes this kind of pressure it works and just a quick recap the ruling that the judge put out is Seriously flawed you don't have to be a lawyer to know this stuff so Mar-a-Lago You've seen these numbers, but it's important to I think go over again. The judge is so out of touch that Magnificent compound worth a maximum of 27 million dollars the judge cites an appraiser Who's way way off now? Let's go through the comps. We've been doing this and it's kind of fun to do about a half-mile away from Mar-a-Lago a Single family home goes for two hundred and eighteen million granted. It's on a little private island there But still almost a quarter of a billion dollars next please an unfinished penthouse on top of a Landmark store in downtown Palm Beach goes for 18 million dollars all right you see what's happening here an Apartment in West Palm Beach an apartment a six-bedroom apartment. Yeah, that's big, but it's a still an apartment 40 million dollars You see what's going on here. He's being railroaded He's being railroaded, and they're counting on people not being able to do a damn thing about it It's still gonna work out. It's still gonna work out This is not the first time Attorney General James has gone after a president Trump by the way There was the matter of a painting from a few years back Trump's foundation paid ten thousand dollars at a charity auction in 2014 for a portrait painted of Trump it was the second time Trump used foundation funds for a portrait of him There is a number of instances where Trump spent money from his charity to benefit himself He used it to buy two very large portraits of himself including one that is now hanging as art and one of his sports bars They're also these two portraits of Trump himself which he paid a combined thirty thousand dollars for Using all of you only charity money uses charities money to buy portraits of himself one of them He hung up on the wall at Doral is golf club outside of Miami the other one. We don't know where it went so Absolutely despicable what they did what those reporters did and what Letitia James did counting on people not understanding what actually really happened the Trump Foundation wasn't a charity where they necessarily performed a Service in like come to the Trump day camp or come to the Trump rehab center It was a foundation that gave out funds that made grants lots of foundations do that And when you go to a charity banquet say you might bid on a purse you might bid on I don't know a midnight dinner cruise you might bid on a portrait of Yourself the bitter they make money that way the charity makes money that way half the money that Donald Trump spent on the portrait half went to the artist and Half went to a home for abused and battered women and children But they are counting on people not knowing that it's really incredible He was punished the entire family punished for being generous so today in court Donald Trump had his his lawyers with him and you know hats off to these guys to Alina Haba and mr Kai is there and the others because it's tough being a lawyer for Donald Trump The entire legal community comes after you the media come after you Clients so they get nervous. You're representing Trump. We may not want to do business with you and a guy like Attorney General Barr The former chief legal officer of the country has the nerve to say something like this. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy I mean, this is harming these people He just brought on two new attorneys Todd Blanche in April John Lara just now I mean Given what has happened with other attorneys that he's had. What would you what's your advice to his attorneys? Do you have any? Get a lot of insurance They'll be spending a lot of time themselves at some point you know For grand juries or answering questions or as witnesses and investigations Why isn't every American citizen entitled to legal counsel the former chief law enforcement officer in America seems to be giving a
