really are in a stunning moment in American history. We've never experienced anything like this before. This is something we usually associate with the Soviet Union or Venezuela or third world country where one political party is trying to imprison and bankrupt their top political opponent, keeping him off the ballot, putting him through show trials, all sorts of trumped up charges, all for political gain.

Not before this time has any president or former president in American history ever been indicted for anything. Now they've indicted Donald Trump on 91 bogus charges in four different jurisdictions. I want you to think about that. He also waived executive privilege over and over and over and over again, allowing tens of thousands of presidential documents to be provided to the January 6th Nancy Pelosi Stalinist Commission, which used those documents to again try and trash Donald Trump. And after the Republicans took the House, they destroyed a vast amount of the so-called information that they had gathered because they gathered an enormous amount of exculpatory information and they didn't want that to go public. So Joe Biden uses executive privilege to destroy the power of the presidency while he is unconstitutionally using the power of the presidency much like a dictator. And that's what he just did the other day. Mark, what are you talking about? Executive privilege. Executive privilege. Executive privilege is basically a privilege that goes back to George Washington that protects separation of powers. That is, it protects the operations of the presidency, internal communications and decision making and so forth, because otherwise a president won't be able to function. He'll have to keep responding to Congress, which would destroy the notion of balance and equality between the branches. And so it's generally understood that executive privilege should be used in a very focused way to protect the office of the presidency, which, of course, he's already used to destroy the office of the presidency, not while he's president, but for future presidents. So executive privilege, there are some exceptions and they're legitimate exceptions. The courts recognize this. Even Congress tends to recognize this. The attorney generals in the past have recognized this. Where there is not an ongoing investigation. Where there's not an issue of national security. Where there's no issue of presidential internal communications. Where there's no issue of separation of powers. Where there's no protection of investigative or law enforcement techniques. There's no claim for executive privilege. And in the case of Joe Biden, he puts out an order of executive privilege to protect what? The audio of his interviews with the special counsel, her, about events that took place before he was president. There's no presidential issue whatsoever. That's number one. Number two, there isn't an executive privilege to protect a president from being embarrassed. Or from information having a political impact. There is no such executive privilege. Moreover, any executive privilege that may exist, and none did, was waived. Because the transcript of Biden's interview with the special counsel was released. And they released it, did the Department of Justice, because they will do anything possible. Including violate the Constitution. To get Biden reelected, and in order to get Biden reelected, they want you to vote for somebody who doesn't exist. They do not want you to know how bad his dementia is. Because it must be really, really bad for them to issue an executive privilege order to prevent the audio of the text that's already released from being released. I want you to think about this. Democrats always talk about voter suppression, voter ID. This goes even beyond all that. This goes beyond the right to vote. This is the right to know who you're voting for. I love it when they say, "We have a right to know if Donald Trump committed any crimes." They have all these bogus crimes with these bogus Democrat prosecutors and the bogus Democrats, juries, and cities. And they say, "We have a right to know." No, that's different. This is a question about reality. It is a practical question. This man, up to being in charge of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth, will power to launch nuclear missiles, to make decisions about the health and welfare of the United States. And the answer is he's not. We know this because the executive privilege order was put out because they don't want you to hear the audio. This is the man who they will not allow to have press conferences on a regular basis. So he's had less press conferences than any modern president, period. This is the man who now has his staff surrounding him when he walks from the helicopter to the White House for two reasons. They don't want you to see him shuffling like people with dementia do, and they don't want him answering any questions. So he's completely under control by the staff, by the people who surround him, because they know what they don't want you to know, because they deal with him on a daily basis. We know it. He doesn't give off-the-cuff speeches. He has talking cards. When he reads the monitor, he even reads the parts where they're giving him a direction to pause or turn left. He reads the directions out loud. He has to have the names of the journalists when he ever does hold a press conference presented to him with their pictures. With their pictures. He calls for two debates, but it's very narrowly controlled. It's almost contrived. He gets to decide what news organizations that are friendly to him and his administration. They don't want an audience. They don't want open mics, so you can actually have a back-and-forth. They want to control it. Why? Because he's out of control. That's why. We know less about this president's personal life, personal conduct, what he's actually thinking, than we have with any other president. This is suppressing the vote. That is, we have a right as American citizens to know if the Democrat Party is going to nominate this president for another four years, where he would have four more years of this, where stage five dementia, where there are seven stages of dementia, can go to the seventh stage and create a constitutional crisis. We have a right to know before we vote. The purpose of this bogus executive privilege claim is to protect Biden from you. So we don't know. But what about Congress? Do they have the right to know? So here's the report. Here's the Her Report right here. One of the reasons he decided, and he says not to bring charges against Biden, among other reasons, the tradition of not indicting sitting presidents. But of course, we know this administration doesn't follow tradition. But nonetheless, is he basically concluded we interviewed this man. He's not right. He couldn't remember when he was vice president. He couldn't remember other dates about his son. He would get confused. We had the eventually the video of his interview with the ghostwriter. Same thing took place. It must be so awful, so totally awful that Mr. Her and his prosecutors looked at this and their jaws hit the floor. That's what they don't want you to hear. That's why reprobates like Adam Schiff and the Democrat Party conga line attacked Mr. Her for even saying that was gratuitous. No, that's the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter is this man is not capable of actually being president. Who the hell is running this government? Certainly by in some respect, but the staff, the cabinet members, the radicals, the 25th Amendment that was adopted in the 1960s was adopted for the purpose of preventing something like this. The 25th Amendment's right here. The Congressional Research Service 2018. Let me just read this. The 25th Amendment proposed by Congress in 1965 and ratified by the states in 1967 provides for presidential succession, vice presidential vacancies and presidential disability. Presidential inability or disability is specifically covered in section three whereby the president may declare a disability. He declares it himself. That ain't happening. And section four whereby disability is declared by the vice president and majority of the cabinet or such other bodies may be established by law. No other body was established by law. And rather than this cabinet and this vice president doing what they're supposed to do in the Constitution, uphold their oath. They've circled the wagons. They don't want to lose their jobs. Vice president wants to become president. They have no virtue. They have no integrity. The 25th Amendment is a dead letter right now. In our constitutional system, we don't have any system for dealing with a disabled president who's mentally disabled, who is not capable of doing his job. And this latest executive privilege order proves it. They're not saying we're proud of what Joe Biden said here. We release the tech. Here's the audio. Oh, we're proud. We want to debate without all these rules. Oh, we're proud. Oh, the vice president talks to the media in press conference every week. Oh, the vice president doesn't need no cards with talking points on them. The vice president, all right. They can't do that. They can't say that. And we all know that the legislative intent is our Constitution does not address a situation where you have a potentially disabled president where the cabinet and the vice president of the same party will not trigger the 25th Amendment impeachment. You say the definition of impeachment clauses does not cover this. It's you and me. We get to decide where it we have to wait to decide. And they are interfering with that. They're obstructing that by not giving the the audio to Congress. We don't have standing to demand the audio. Nobody does except Congress. And they just said, no, you don't. So there is a legislative purpose, isn't there? There's a huge legislative purpose and the legislative purpose is that we need to fix the Constitution in a circumstance like this. We may have to. And don't we have a right to know who we're voting for? You better believe it. They talk about registering as many Democrats as they can. You know, don't suppress the vote. But we have a right to know who we're voting for. And we have a right to know who the president of the United States is. Not all the scripted information, not all the propaganda from the media, not all the paid propaganda. Why do you think he wants to raise a billion dollars on commercials? Because that's how he wants to speak. They want to speak through flashy Spielberg created commercials. Joe Biden should never have been president. He should never be reelected for all the other reasons. But the main reason is he's mentally incapacitated, and that is a big deal. And just because he can deliver a State of the Union address after practicing it, just because he might have a decent debate performance, we're talking about 24/7. You're on the job 24/7. You're under stress. You have life and death, war and peace decisions to make. And we have a lot of human beings in this country who are capable of being very good, qualified presidents. presidents. It's just that he's not.

>> And it's time for the hot topic of the hour while making a campaign stop at a Harlem Bodega yesterday. Former President Trump said his so-called hush money case is having the, quote, reverse effect. Watch. >> This is all politics, this is coming out of the White House and it makes me campaign locally and that's okay. I think we're doing better, Brian. We're doing better now than we've ever done. So I think it's having a reversal. You know what? All I want is fairness. >> Trump breaking in more than a million dollars in campaign fundraising after the first day of the criminal trial, the trial resuming tomorrow or the proceedings of the trial resuming tomorrow. They're still in jury selection, seven of the 18 jurors have been selected now. Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg filing a motion, meanwhile, to hold Trump in contempt of court. Claiming that Trump violated his gag order after posting about witnesses in the trial on social media. Bragg urging Judge Murchand to warn Trump future violations of the gag order can be punishable with up to 30 days of jail time. Ashley, good morning. Your reaction. >> Good morning, yeah. I've always thought from the beginning that all of these cases are really helping Trump and obviously if he really did raise the million dollars, which I believe him, it's continuing to help him. And 60% of Americans do not believe in our judicial system and one in three don't even understand why he is in trial state. I mean, I do this for a living, politics for a living, and I can't keep all the trial states. So I think this is straight. I think this is 100% helping him. >> You know, I think when you look at this gag order, it's really hard to see a candidate for president following a gag order. I mean, you've got President Joe Biden traveling across the country, he was in the swing state of Pennsylvania yesterday, talking about everything he wants to talk about, abortion, Trump, whatever he wants to talk about. And if Trump says anything, he's violating a gag order. They're running for president. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith slammed Trump's so called money hush money trial yesterday on his YouTube show. Here's what he said, watch. >> To my liberal friends out there, all you're doing is showing that you're scared you can't beat him on the issues and the merits. That's why he keeps saying, it's a political campaign against me, tens of millions of people see what extent the other side is willing to go through just to keep him out of office because they can't beat him on their own merits. Everything you do shows me you can't beat him. It's a damn shame. >> And that's what Trump keeps saying, a new AP NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds that just 35% of adults think that Trump actually did something illegal in this case. 31% of Americans believe Trump's actions were unethical, but not illegal. Another 14% said Trump did nothing wrong. Lee Carter, your reaction. >> So I think this whole thing is really fascinating as we're looking at, I agree with you completely this benefits Donald Trump because what's on trial right now is not just Donald Trump, the system is what's on trial. People believe the system is rigged to favor a few, not the many. When people hear things like Katie Couric talking about how Republicans must be brain dead if they're gonna support Donald Trump. When you see the way people are reacting here, you think this just is unfair. You think that this isn't about Donald Trump, you think about this as something much greater. The fact that there's so much pile on here makes people actually fight back even more. When you look at the polling, what people want is they want somebody who's gonna stand up for the issues. Two-thirds of Americans are looking for a fighter who's gonna fight back on this system. That's exactly what Donald Trump is doing from the courthouses that he's fighting in and people are, it's resonating and everyone on the left is really surprised that this is happening. If you're a Trump supporter, you see it and you're like, obviously, this is going to create more and more support for Donald Trump. >> Yeah, how do you see that? >> Well, Maria, trying to have a dispassionate conversation about the Trump trial with the Democrat is like trying to have a logical conversation with an alcoholic. It's not possible. They just can't get past the emotion. They can't get to the central issues. It's just amazing to me that we're even having the conversation. It's amazing this even came to trial and that doesn't just come from me. Think of all the legal experts you've had on your show, Maria, who've said there's just no basis for what's happening here. And yet if he gets convicted, they're talking about jail time, multiple jail time. It's just multiple years. >> I will backfire. >> And it's going to continue to divide the country. I mean, I don't know how the country moves forward after trials like this.

The system continues to fail us. We are not safe anymore. Albin Bragg says it is time to keep his campaign promise of criminal justice reform. No neighborhood is safe in New York City right now. Random attack on a four-year-old boy in broad daylight in the heart of the city. The suspect, a man who has been arrested at least 40 times before. With just days on the job, Manhattan District Attorney Albin Bragg is changing how some crimes will be prosecuted. He says he'll stop seeking prison sentences for some criminal charges and will downgrade some felony charges. A brutal attack on a woman walking down the sidewalk knocked to the ground with a single punch. Her attacker was arrested 40 times before. The last five hours, we've had three shooting incidents in the northern part of Manhattan. In less than 42 hours in the city over the weekend, five men were fatally shot or stabbed across three boroughs. It was a violent holiday weekend around the city, leaving five people dead. New NYPD data shows felony transit crimes are on the rise. Many subway murders have been recorded in the past two weeks alone. A 15-year-old is the latest fatal victim in the New York City subway system. Police say the stabbing was unprovoked and the victim was ambushed by an unknown suspect while exiting a northbound four train.

MSNBC, CNN, they're always reminding everyone that they're only going to take a Trump event if the news of the day requires it. Let me just tell our viewers so I don't startle them what we are doing. We have made a decision on this first day that if Donald Trump comes out and starts talking, we might want to listen to him for a little bit. We're going to do something. We're going to do it together. I promise we're going to come out of this if he starts lying or threatening people. Researchers are urging that Biden not debate Trump at all, as we just said with that quote from The Atlantic magazine, especially bad because they're just essentially saying that he's subhuman, he's evil, and he doesn't deserve to be treated like a real candidate. Talk about election interference. Now freedom of speech still exists for the left, but not so much for the rest of you. In fact, I think most sensible people when you talk to them about these issues, if they have a traditional set of beliefs or slightly traditional set of beliefs even, they just get used to self-censoring. They watch what they say all the time. It's the only way to avoid having their kids shunned at school or maybe even losing their jobs. Look at what happened to that poor senior editor at the taxpayer-supported NPR. After blowing the whistle on the pro-Democrat bias among what is overwhelmingly a liberal executive workforce staff there, his bosses suspended him. How's that for all things considered? Now, we're not dealing with the old liberals anymore. Get used to this. They used to relish debate. They were proud to be free speech absolutists. Today, the landscape is filled with landmines, and those landmines are planted by ruthless anti-free speech radicals. Say the wrong thing, associate with the wrong people, be in the wrong place, and yeah, they want you blown up. It's time to expose them as the sniveling cowards and wannabe tyrants that they are. It is time for all of us, each and every one of us, to be fearless, and that's the angle.

A Democrat prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, keeping the Republican nominee off the campaign trail for six weeks. That means Donald Trump isn't even allowed to attend his son Barron's high school graduation. If he tries to go, the judge will throw him in jail for that too. As you know, my son is graduating from high school and it looks like the judge will not let me go through the graduation of my son who's worked very, very hard and he's a great student. He's proud of the fact that he did so well and I was looking forward for years to have graduation with his mother and father there. It looks like the judges are going to allow me to escape the scam. It's a scam trial. I can't go to my son's graduation or that I can't go to the United States Supreme Court that I'm not in Georgia or Florida or North Carolina campaigning like I should be. It's perfect for the radical of Democrats. That's exactly what they want. This is about election interference. That's all it's about. Piers Morgan actually had a good idea for once and said Trump should go to Barron's graduation anyway and make the judge arrest him while everyone's throwing their caps in the air.
