Kamala spent the final week of her campaign comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. And two days ago Joe Biden called our supporters garbage. Garbage. That's nasty. I think that's worse than deplorables, right? How did that work out for Hillary? I think this is gonna work out even worse. And they mean it. They mean it even though without question my supporters are far higher quality than Crooked Joe or Lion Kamala. Look at that. They had nobody like that. My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple. You can't lead America if you don't love Americans. You just can't do it. You can't do it. You can't be president if you hate the American people and they do hate it. They hate the American people. Who would have an open border policy where prisons and jails and penitentiaries are allowed to freely walk into our country? Where gang members are taken off the streets of Caracas, Venezuela and dumped into our country? We don't even know their names. We know nothing about them. They're free to roam. They call it free to roam. Congratulations. You are free to roam and they killed four people. You know, it's crazy. The 13,000 plus that we have the killers. These are murderers from jails. Can you believe that? These were all murders, convicted murders in jail, in prison, and we know nothing about them. In fact, we don't even know where they are, but they're out there someplace. I'm sure we have a few of them. Welcome. I'm sure we have a few of them sitting right. This can give you a little bit of the yips, right? You're sitting down now. You don't know whether or not the guy next to you killed five people. Now we're gonna get them out of here. We're gonna get them out fast. We're gonna get them out fast and our local police are gonna be activated. And if we had the cooperation from the fake news, which you don't, it would happen relatively quickly. We're gonna be able to do it. No, our local police are limited. They know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know everything about them. They know what country they come from. They know everything, but they're told to stand back. Don't touch him. Don't do anything. Stand back. They don't want to stand back. Just like Border Patrol. They go crazy when they see these people pouring in and they can look at them and they can see trouble. They go trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, no trouble, trouble, trouble. They can look at him and they can see good or bad. Kamala Harris is not fit to be president of the United States. She doesn't have the intellect, the stamina or that special quality that real leaders have to have.

"This is the weaponization of our judicial system. The American people saw this start during the Clinton administration. They have watched the Democrats become more bold and more brazen, and now you have this. And it is why so many of my friends who are Democrats and independents say, you know what, we're going to back President Trump. They've never voted for him before, but what they see is weaponization, and they know if you can do this to a former president of the United States, that they can do it to you. And what they're wanting to see is a riddance of this two tiers of justice. So I've stood with President Trump since day one. I'm standing with him again."

Thank you very much. Here we go again. Five weeks. I've been here. I'm gagged. I'd like to answer all of your questions. They're very easy questions to answer, but I'm gagged, so I can't talk as much as I would like to about this ridiculous case that's hurting our country so badly. Some of the reviews from yesterday are the -- and by the way, everyone's against this case, too. I haven't seen one legal scholar or expert in the law say that this case should have been filed. It should not have been filed, or at a minimum it should have been filed seven years ago. Seven years old. Everybody turned it down, including federal elections turned it down. Southern District turned it down. Bragg turned it down. Then he rejuvenated it when I was running for office. It's a terrible thing. At the request of Biden, the editors of the National Review say, "Quit Trump." Bragg has failed to prove his charges. Totally failed. Greg Jarrett. Because all of the stuff came in after the elections. How were they defrauded? And then you say, "What about Hillary with the dossier? What about all of the other things that go?" And this is nothing. This is nothing. But what about all of the corruption, the voter fraud, that you've seen over the last year on behalf of the Democrats, and nobody talks about it? This is ridiculous what they're talking about. This is called running for office. Greg Jarrett. The government, which received full payment on all taxable income. The government, by the way, received full payment. The taxes were paid in full. In fact, they made comment on that. Even if the taxes were paid in full, the federal elections commission that concluded the money paid did not constitute a campaign contribution under the law. And remember, this judge wouldn't allow us. He's a very conflicted judge. Everybody knows that. You don't want to talk about what the conflict was. I'm not allowed to talk about it because of a gag order that he put on me. It's the one subject he really doesn't want to talk about. There was no fraud. There was no conspiracy. It's that simple. Moreover, without a primary crime, there can be no secondary crime. It's a classic lawfare, weaponizing statutes. Because the law has been -- okay, because no law has been broken. There's a jury chair. Elihonic legal analyst for CNN. The crime here is not easy to explain or to understand. It's just not understandable. In other words, there is no crime. This is CNN. Catherine Christian from MSNBC -- I call it MSDNC -- legal analyst. It's difficult because it's a very nuanced argument. It's never been prosecuted before. This is an argument that has never been prosecuted before. And hopefully, it'll never be prosecuted again. Andy McCarthy -- this is anything but standard. It's the antithesis of standard, actually. The idea that they do not have to agree on what the other crime is. We spent six weeks wondering, "What is the other crime? What is the other crime?" And at the end, the thud we all get is this. There's three or four of them, and you could pick one from the other, and they don't have to agree on anything. And what he's saying is it's so -- it's so corrupt. Nobody has ever heard of anything like this. It's called "pick 'em." It's like the latter. You pick 'em. You pick 'em. And you don't have to be -- even though in a criminal case, you have to be unanimous, you don't have to be -- just give a couple of votes, because the judge, unfortunately, is corrupt. Judge Jeanine Pirro, no one has heard of this. It's like it's a menu column A, B, or C. You don't have to agree on it. This is a kangaroo court. This is unheard of. I've never seen anything like it. I've done this for 32 years. I'm not a federal prosecutor or a state prosecutor, so I know what I'm talking about. I'm not a federal judge. I'm a county judge, just like Russia. This is New York law. This is my wheelhouse. He is 100 percent wrong. He's wrong. That's what Jeanine Pirro, a very good woman, very smart woman -- Jonathan Turley. This is becoming a three-card Monty game on "Where is the Crime?" Smart guy. "Where is the Crime?" Mike Davis. The U.S. would sanction a country for doing this. I think that's good. I think that's good. Steve Hilda seems that every single day, these proceedings go on. The judge and the prosecutor just go out of their way to prove Trump's a point. And I guess he is -- I think I'll prove him my point when you think -- that's why I -- I write some of these things that are very sad. Mark Levin, this Stalinist-like case -- he's a Stalinist-like case -- it has prevented President Trump from running for office. It has prevented him from campaigning. He's unable to campaign because he's been in a courthouse for five weeks. And yet, we just had a ball came out -- NPR. Trump's 54. Biden's 42. And that's with independents. That's the best we've ever had. They said this is the single-best ball that Trump has ever had with independents. Trump's largest lead among independent voters -- NPR, Marist College -- 44-28. And Junior is way down -- way, way down. But it's -- it's -- 44. Junior is extremely liberal. By the way, he's extremely radical left. I think you know that. But he seems to be hurting Biden probably a little bit. So that's it -- it's a disgrace. The millions and millions of dollars that have spent daily on this case -- outside, it looks like it's Fort Knox, like the Guardian -- I've never seen so many police them. Now, with Columbia University, you can plan to tent right in front of the main door, no problem. NYU just put your tent up. Don't worry about it. Over here. But I just want to say that this is a very sad day for America. The whole world is watching. And it's a very sad day for New York. I've gone through two of these trials already. It's a very -- with the same kind of a judge. It's all worked. It's all rigged. The whole thing -- the whole system is rigged. Judge Ann Gordon was overturned five times, in my case, and he's going to be overturned again. And we were treated very, very badly. And the outside world is watching, and the outside world is just not going to bring their business to New York. And that's going to cost the city trillions and the state trillions and trillions of dollars businesses are leaving. And people are fleeing. So, you can see the quotes yourself, and thank you all very much. We'll come in later on in the evening, but we'll be here. It looks like a long time. Thank you.

reaction from the Trump organization, Eric Trump, he's been in the courtroom for a better part of this trial. You know, I'll let you take it from there, but you know, everything this judge does in this particular case, Eric, to me, you know, at this point, I expect it, it's not even a shock anymore. You know, Sean, sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm numb to it, I mean, I watch my father go in there every single day and fight for his life, literally fight for his life against bogus charges. I said on the show, I've said it on others, no one believes that $130,000 from eight years ago for a perfectly legal NDA booked a legal expense to a personal longtime lawyer booked as a legal expense is a crime where a former president in the front runner for Republican Party is charged with 34 felony counts. No one believes it. The entire city of New York is shut down. You have half of the NYPD guarding the lower half of Manhattan around this trial. They're shutting down the FDR drive every single day. No one believes it. And then you have this judge and I've watched the conduct and Sean, you have to watch it from from the front row, from front and center. So many of the Fox reporters have when you're in there and he is literally sustaining every single one of their objections. He will not give us a single thing. He's disqualifying our witnesses. He's not letting the head of the FEC testify that there is no crime here. He's saying that my father testifies they can go back to every single thing he's ever said or ever done, even if it's not related to this case. The thing is stacked, Sean, you've never seen anything like it. It wasn't until this morning did they actually outline six months later what the actual crime reportedly was. There is no crime here, but they didn't even give us the decency of telling my father what it was until they dragged him through the mud every single day, wasted his time, put him in the icebox for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. And that's what this is. This is corruption. This is a judge just somehow gets every single anti-Trump case. Is that really interesting? You got, you know, the first Trump case and he gets this case, then he gets it was no jury pool in this case. He was selected. He was selected. Eric. Of course, Sean, that's no different than Fulton County, right? I mean, in Georgia, why did they go to Fulton County? Because it's about as far left as you can get. Why did they go to downtown New York? Because it's about as far left. Why did they pick this judge? This isn't random. It would defy every law of every statistical model in history to get this judge on every single Trump case, especially a judge that wasn't even voted in. This was an appointee judge. He's not even on the list of 24 judges, but yet he just somehow miraculously ends up with every Trump case. And you have the entire DA's office, Sean, front row and they're laughing about this. They're laughing about $130,000 where every single day you have another person being stabbed in the chest on the streets of New York and the city is going to hell and it stinks and there's homelessness all over the place. And this is their focus. The reason it's their focus is Donald Trump is winning, Sean. He's winning. He's winning in the polls. Biden is incompetent. People realize, the Democrats finally realize that the guy will not make it to the finish line. They're panicking. And so what they do, they weaponize the legal system against Donald Trump as they've done every day since he's come down that escalator. And honestly, it's frustrating as a son to watch him go through this hell and this torture. And the guy is incredible. And honestly, kudos to him. No one else could deal with this crap. No one. I don't know many people that could for sure and it's certainly true that you and your family have been through a lot and your father seems to have a capacity to deal with it unlike anybody else that I would know.

Thank you very much. I would say, in listening to the charges from the judge, who's, as you know, very conflicted and corrupt, because of the confliction, very, very corrupt. Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged. The whole country is a mess between the borders and fake elections, and you have a trial like this where the judge is so conflicted he can't breathe. He's got to do his job, and it's not for me that I can tell you. It's a disgrace. And I mean that Mother Teresa could not beat those charges, but we'll see. We'll see how we do. It's a very disgraceful situation. Every single legal scholar and expert said, "This is no case. It shouldn't be brought." And it certainly could have been brought seven years ago, not in the middle of a presidential election. It was all done by Joe Biden. This judge contributed to Joe Biden. And far worse than that, but I'm not allowed to talk about it, because I have a gag order. Far worse than that, by a thousand times worse than that. The worst I've ever heard, but I can't talk about it. It'll be talked about, but I'm not allowed to talk about it. But it'll be talked about in the history books. What's happening here is weaponization at a level that nobody's seen before, ever. And it shouldn't be allowed to happen. So I'll stay around here. This is five weeks. And five weeks are really essentially not campaigning, although I took a big lead in the polls over the last few weeks on -- something's going on. Because I think the people of this country see that this is a rigged deal. It's a weaponized deal for the Democrats to hit their political opponent. For Joe Biden, the worst -- the worst President in the history of the United States, he's destroying our country. He's letting millions of people from jails, from prisons, from Insanus Islands, from mental institutions. Drug dealers pour in. Venezuela, if you look at their crime statistics, they've gunned down 72 percent in crime because they're releasing all their criminals into our country because of this horrible President that we have. And then they have a protest of Robert De Niro yesterday. He's a fool. He was a broken-down fool, standing out there. And he got -- he got maggot. He got maggot yesterday. He got a big dose of it. But I just want to say it's a very unfair trial. It should have never happened. If it was going to happen, it should have happened seven years ago. As you know, Greg didn't want to bring it. The Southern District didn't bring it. The FEC didn't bring it. This judge didn't even let us use the number one election attorney. He's making the rules. He doesn't know anything about elections. He doesn't know anything about voting and vote counts. He doesn't know anything about this stuff. That's not his profession. We had the leading election expert in the country, Brad Smith, ready to testify. I wouldn't let him do it. They wouldn't let another gentleman who represented -- and you know very well, you saw it. It was the worst I think I've ever seen and it would treat it on a stand. Bob Costello wouldn't let him talk about all of the hundreds of emails that he was sent by a gentleman, another gentleman who I can't mention because I'm -- I'm gagged. Every time I speak to you, you ask me simple questions. I'm not allowed to give you the answer because I'm gagged by this judge. But we have a very, very serious problem here. I mean, our country is going bad. And remember -- and let me just leave you with this. This is all because of Joe Biden and his -- and I don't even think it's him. I don't think he's smart enough to think about it. But it's the people that surround him in the office. They're smart. They're fascists. They're communists. But they're smart. And they're ruining our country. But we're going to win this election. November 5th is going to be the most important day in the history of our country. We're going to take back our country from these fascists and these thugs that are destroying us with inflation and with everything they do, how stupid they are, allowing 15, 16, 17 million people into our country, totally unvented, totally unchecked. We're going to bring back our nation November 5th. Remember, the most important day in the history of our country. In the meantime, this trial is rigged. Thank you.

here with more fox news contributor jonathan turley is with us why do i doubt you get together with like-minded uh lawyers and say well what are we going to say about trump today why do i doubt that ever happened in your life ever he's you're an independent thinker well i've well i've never been so happy not to be invited somewhere so i i think that this is a mutual decision on both parties uh but you know look no matter how much they talk about it you can't make a sousier into a silk purse and that's what this trial is it's getting more and more embarrassing uh you know today they suggested there was a second crime another dead misdemeanor that they're zapping back into life uh he's saying that uh trump illegally conspired to promote his own election and it's it's you sort of get your mind around that uh even if everything that they stated is proven to be true factually all of the uh the payment of the the non-disclosure agreement uh the recording of it in this way that's not being really that contested because all of that can be true and there would still be no crime and that's what has left many of us mystified that the judge is letting this get by because we still don't see that legal linchpin the judge seems to be shrugging and saying well it's close enough for jazz let's go ahead and let it go to the jury when most of us don't see a crime here well let me look at this you have called this and an embarrassment you say you're in utter disbelief uh this case never should have been brought uh alan dershowitz uh andy mccarthy i mentioned the new york times op-ed mark levin greg jarrett and and i watched i listened very closely to the opening arguments they keep talking about a conspiracy to commit they talk about election fraud election interference all these big buzzwords none of which donald trump has even been been charged with in this case and i'm sitting there thinking beyond the fact the statute of limitations are gone beyond the fact that the judge donated to the biden campaign and there are questions about whether or not he should have recused himself i believe he should have uh beyond the fact that this is eight years old beyond the fact that the doj law that they're now relying on because new york state statutes don't cover this it's only a misdemeanor uh even in that case biden's doj passed on charging donald trump because they didn't think it was applicable you know how are we here and it's an it's a venue that is not friendly to donald trump you could still get a guilty verdict out of this jury that's scary to me it is scary and it is very much in the play here that i think that bragg is hoping the jury will not look beyond the identity of the defendant because you know the fact is they're saying well you shouldn't have listed this as a legal expense all right what is he supposed to list it as what if he put down nuisance payment what if he put down settlement of personal embarrassment would that really convert this to a non-crime there wasn't a crime here because this wasn't a federal campaign contribution the department of justice as you noted did not see that as a criminal act they did not charge that and so once again you get back to the role of the judge here that we're going through a trial that seems desperate to find a crime but you can't even get that from the indictment or the opening statements the fact that we had to wait for the opening statements for bragg to even fully articulate what his theory was shows how weak this case really is and it's only that weakness is only becoming more and more evident every day but okay but but what what i see them trying to do and correct me if you think i'm wrong i see that they're trying to muddy the waters they're using a lot of loaded terms about donald trump uh they sound like they're trying to make this into the crime of the century there's no applicable law and now you've now the defense has to explain all of that to mostly non-lawyers that are on a jury there are two lawyers apparently on the jury so my question is well what would you say to donald trump's attorneys how would you argue the smoke and mirrors that they keep throwing up and where are the objections i'd like to see more objections well they're going to have to keep on hammering away to this jury that it's not a question of proving facts that are lawful it's like saying we're going to approve we're going to show you he drove 55 miles an hour down the highway well you're allowed to do that right so they're setting up all of these factual claims that can be proven because they're largely not denied this the really reversible error in this case may come down to the instructions and how the judge tries to put this together for the jury because at some point he's got to inform the jury that there's nothing unlawful about an nda there's nothing this is not a federal campaign contribution in the view of the federal government but to make those legal issues clear is to disassemble this case so we a lot is going to be sort of unfolding here but i think the trump team has done a very good job so far in bringing that out and we're going to be looking at some major fireworks in the next few days you know when when you put cohen on the stand you're going to have a truly circus-like environment i mean you've got someone who a judge just recently denounced as a serial perjurer and he's going to get on the stand and he's going to be the star witness yeah and and you have a biden donating uh perhaps conflicted judge that should have been recused or should have recused himself uh which obviously would be an issue upon appeal but any appeal may happen after the election that that doesn't help. Jonathan Turley, thank you, we appreciate it.

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.

But we begin in Pennsylvania, where Joe Biden, your president, he spent the day on the campaign trail talking to voters in a critical, crucial battleground state. We are just 202 days away until an inflection point for this country, probably the most pivotal election in our lifetime. Every campaign stop is crucial. Donald Trump was not able to campaign today at all. Why? He was stuck in a dreary New York City courtroom and will be stuck in that very same courtroom almost every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for the foreseeable future, likely well over a month. Donald Trump was told that he will go straight to jail and not collect $200 if he's not in court every single day. And Joe Biden has the swing state playing field all to himself with only 202 days until election day. And the media mob, they are literally, well, elated. One fake new CNN host celebrating with a banner that read, quote, Biden hits the trail while Trump sits in court. No wonder so few people watch fake new CNN. And they're at the conspiracy theory channel, MSDNC. They are working extra, extra hard this week. They're fairy tales, of course, about Russia, Russia. Russia never came true, but they will never miss an opportunity every second minute hour, every day, every week, every month, every year to bash Donald Trump. And they are not alone. Take a look. -Donald Trump is in the courthouse right now. I mean, history has begun. -And the Biden campaign says that while Trump is in court, Biden is, quote, running the country. -The judge is in a tough spot here. No judge wants to be that, you know, person that is the one to throw former President Trump in jail for criminal contempt. -What do Democrats do? How do his opponents try to utilize this time? -Well, Joe, the split screen will be Donald Trump in a courtroom, Joe Biden on a campaign trail. So I think that's a very important juxtaposition. -Why is it that it's only coming to trial now? It turns out that is kind of a funny story, funny in a bad way. -Oh, this is a legal nerd Super Bowl, right? Like, I'm kind of excited about this. -That's the part I do. -That's exciting to someone like me. -They're downright kitty, make no mistake. This is no ordinary trial. This is a taxpayer-funded, media-promoted, political smear campaign against Donald Trump and miraculously and perfectly timed just for the presidential election. Now, the prosecutor Alvin Bragg, he hates Donald Trump. He ran on a hate-Trump campaign. He hates him for political reasons. The judge, Juan Merchon, is his name. He's a Democrat. Guess who he donated to in 2020? Joe Biden, and the jury pool is comprised of Americans living in deep blue New York City. Only 12% of the electorate there voted for Trump. The alleged crime, it's hard to describe. They haven't really told us yet. It is a misdemeanor document-label allegation that dates back eight years. By the way, just for the record, well past the statute of limitations that Alvin Bragg mysteriously brought back to life by turning it into a felony on federal election law, but none of that really matters, does it? This is not about justice. It's not about keeping Americans safe. You really think this is a threat to any American? In New York City, let's see, you have violent criminals, you have gang members, you have drug dealers, you have sex offenders, you have cops being beaten up by the criminals, and little old ladies going to church getting the crap beat out of them, and they escape Alvin Bragg's very lax prosecution every single day. But with Donald Trump, well Bragg who reduced 60% of all felonies to misdemeanors, well he twisted the law into a pretzel, bending over backwards, spending millions of your dollars to bring a case that frankly never should have been brought. For Democrats, the mob and the media, it is worth every penny, even sacrificing the rule of law and our great constitutional republic. It removes Donald Trump from the campaign trail at the height of an election. The trial also gives the left yet another opportunity to trash Donald Trump in public.

Thank you very much. This is a trial that should have never been brought. It's a trial that is being looked upon, looked at all over the world, they're calling. They're looking at it and analyzing it. Every legal pundit, every legal scholar said this trial is a disgrace. We have a Trump-hating judge. We have a judge who should be on this case. He's totally conflicted, but this is a trial that should never happen. It should have been thrown out a long time ago. If you look at Jonathan Turner, Andy McCarthy, all great legal scholars, there's not one that we've been able to find that said this should be a trial. I called a, I was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense, some accountant. I didn't know. Marked it down as a legal expense. That's exactly what it was and you've been indicted over that. I should be right now in Pennsylvania, in Florida, in many other states, North Carolina, Georgia, campaigning. This is all coming from the Biden White House because the guy can't put two sentences together. He can't campaign. He's using this in order to try and win an election and it's not working that way. It's working the opposite way. So check it out, legal expense. It's called legal expense. That's what you're supposed to call it. Nobody has ever seen it. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. So thank you very much for coming. I'm now going to sit down. I am now going to sit down. The voters understand. All you have to do is look at the polls. This is a sham trial and the judge should be guilty. Thank you very much.

- All right, let's bring in Fox News legal analyst, Greg Jarrett. So Greg, it's finally gonna happen. How many days do you think this will take to get 12 jurors and six alternates? - Could take as long as 10 days, maybe two weeks, but it's really up to the judge to limit the amount of wadir, the questioning of the jurors and move forward. But I must tell you, I've never seen such a tangled, torturous prosecution that would be brought against no other person except Trump. It's punitive, it's politically driven, brag, contorting the law, taking a business record, misdemeanor, barred by the statute of limitations, and magically inflating it into 34 felonies, as Eric Sean pointed out. To do that, he had to attach it to a supposed election law violation. Well, it's not. Federal Election Commission investigated, and they said this is perfectly legal. It is not a campaign donation. The DOJ concluded there's no crime here, but enter Alvin Bragg, who's charging under federal law, even though he's a local prosecutor and has no jurisdiction and authority to do that, but the judge is letting him get away with it. - So I just gotta stay on that point about the judge, because Michael Avenatti, who's no former, no fan of the former president, had this to say on Twitter. He talked about the DA encouraging Cohen and Daniels to go out there and do media interviews, and then he followed it up by this. He said to my friends on the left, who insist that they want to preserve democracy and justice, you should be equally outraged by this. Constitutional protections either exist for including the former president, or they don't exist at all. What is happening in this hush money case is a travesty. So if you got Michael Avenatti, who has spent his career, now he's on the other side of justice, trying to take down Donald Trump, saying that the judge is not being fair right here when it comes to a gag order. How can the former president expect a fair trial? - Well, a gag order is a clear violation of the First Amendment, but judges get away with it, because by the time it's challenged on appeal, the case is over. But this case is also something else, a classic example of unequal justice in selective prosecution. Hillary Clinton did pretty much the same thing. She too used a lawyer to secretly pay for the phony Steele dossier and booking it as legal expenses. She was fined by the FEC, but she wasn't prosecuted, and neither was Barack Obama, even though he was fined a whopping $375,000 for hiding donors and keeping illegal contributions. But if your last name is Trump, the standard of justice is completely different and turned on its head. - You're right, it's a double standard. Greg, let's talk about there, the prosecutor's star witness. It's Michael Cohen, he used to be Trump's lawyer exactly. We chuckle because he's flip-flopped so many times in the past, we don't know what to believe. He's been in prison for federal charges himself. So here is a reminder of what he has said, 'cause he told the grand jury a year ago, his goal was to tell the truth. But what is the truth? He flip-flops, listen. - I will be in DC and in New York, anywhere Mr. Trump deems necessary. I'll be there. I did not want to go to the White House. I was offered jobs. Not only is Donald Trump not a racist, he believes that all people are part of one race, the human race. I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist, he is a con man, and he is a cheat. The words the media should be using to describe Mr. Trump are generous, compassionate, principled, empathetic, kind, humble, honest, and genuine. He is capable of behaving kindly, but he is not kind. He is capable of committing acts of generosity, but he is not generous. He is capable of being loyal, but he is fundamentally disloyal. - Greg, how can this be the star witness? - You know Cohen, who is never much of a lawyer, is good, it seems, at only one thing, lying prodigiously. You know, Bragg's theory in this case is, well, Cohen pled guilty to campaign finance crimes, so Donald Trump must be guilty, too. Well, that's not the law. The plea of one person does not determine the guilt of another. It's not even admissible evidence at trial. And Cohen gratuitously pled guilty to a non-crime, just a curry favor with the feds in exchange for leniency for as many other crimes, including fraud. But get this, recently in court, he recanted what he stated in his sworn plea deal, which means he either again committed perjury in the plea itself, or perjury in his recent court testimony, and that prompted the judge to call Michael Cohen a serial perjurer. I can't imagine any objective juror believing anything he has to say. Any half-decent defense attorney will utterly destroy Cohen from cross-examination and expose his litany of lies. All right. Thanks, Craig. Appreciate it.
