the white house. in 2016, trump giving remarks right after the ruling. >> this was a disgrace. this is a try was correct trial. race. they wouldn't give us and then a change. we were. 60 per said. and this district in this area, this is the real is going to be november by the people. and they know what happened here everybody knows what happened here. you have a star is back. >> very innocent man. it's fighting for our constitution. countries. big regret station. >> you know her and opponents

political opponent. >> just a disgrace and we'll keep fighting fight get because going we don't have the same country anymore. we have best. when they should people pouring into country right now. from prison is that medical institutions, terrorist and that taking we have a country that's big but this was great with a conflicted judge should try this case asked him to shoot. this is >> all right. that's the reaction there from the former president right after he left court after these verdicts were read. we're also now just getting some reaction from the biden harris, 2024 communications team. they're also reacting to this verdict

saying, quote, here in new york today, we saw that no one is above the law. today's verdict does not change the fact that the american people face a simple reality. there is still only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the ballot box, convicted felon or not. trump will be the republican nominee for president. so we're going to talk now with a sonoma state political science professor david mcewan to get some reaction to the breaking news from today. david, thank you for joining us. well, it's a pleasure to be with you. thank you for having all right. there's a lot to go over, but let's just start with your reaction to the former president being found guilty on all 34 counts. >> all right. so this is the start of the legal process, obviously, where we're going to see some the laws and completely clear in terms of how to deal with someone like a former president, for example, if wrist wrist to receive any jailtime, what that looks like, his sentencing occurs, july 11th, that's just 4 days before the republican convention in milwaukee. so setting aside the legal components, the

impact of this, the reverberations of this on the political and constitutional side, those 2 sides are huge on the political side. this has ramifications beyond november. if donald trump were to win the white house back what that looks like for the rule of law and has implications for the constitution and what happens. and just to remind your viewers, it was 50 years ago this summer, august 20th that richard nixon resigned the presidency. the united states. this is a different animal. and in some ways we've come full circle. and that means that we're going to see pressing of a political campaign and election season that we haven't seen anything like this since at least 18, 60. so this is a very sobering day, but it has at least these 3 components of legal, political and constitutional problems or issues all wrapped around with donald trump right in front and center. >> this jury verdict makes him the first former american president to be found guilty of felony crimes. and both the biden harris team and also trump when he was speaking outside of court today. kind of both addressed and how

november 5th is going to be a real deciding factor on how the american people feel about the verdicts that came in today. the oval office saying that the best way that the mayor the best way to keep him out of the oval office as a at the ballot box. and then trump also saying, but the real verdict is going to come on november. 5th, do you think that election day is really going to be how the american people decided what really happened in court like how they will, how their reaction in november will be. what they have, how they feel about these convictions today. >> i mean, there's certainly around prior to november 5th, that's going to involve at least 2 debates. obviously, his vice presidential choice is going to be censequential. he may not select one of the cast of characters who has been out in front of a manhattan courtroom last couple of weeks with the talking points the where we had headed to june june 27th and the first debate but kind of step back from this for a couple of minutes. it's unclear that donald trump and

his sentence is not fully complete and carried out. he can't even vote for himself as a resident of florida, florida has one of the states that's pushed criminal rehabilitation. you serve your sentence, you can then get your voting rights back with a few exceptions. but in in this case, he may still be serving his sentence out, even if it might be suspended or might involve some elements of of probation is it will be a first time criminal defend our you fallon be 78 years old, but he might not be able to cast his vote in november that speaks volumes for goes and so pay attention. i think to some of the republican elder states people the next couple of weeks, what do they do? how do they react? was mitch mcconnell say for example, what other republicans moving forward in terms of how far they get behind the sky, what that looks like. he said billionaires come out the last couple of days to say that they're going to fund his campaign, that they take a step back. these folks historically of taking a step back and then embraced donald trump. full-throated. there's that to happen as we get closer and closer to november 5th. yeah, he is the presumptive republican nominee

and reporters are asking them outside of court if he thinks he's going to drop out. >> just this the turning point for other members of the republican party who maybe have been questioning whether or not that donald trump is the future of the party or whether they think that this is a chance now for them to turn on them on him or do do they mean into this and just say, you know, this is our guy. >> in the near term, they lean into because that's what they've the access hollywood tape. how he's acted. none of that caused those folks to leave him. he owns the republican party it's his. and that whole brand is is it's not just his daughter-in-law are running the republican party. it's more than that. and this is where i think you have to pay close attention to those who are most loyal around him. and those tend to be as family members. so they're going to have a critical role in terms of what happens moving forward. if you were to drop out, he's going to endorse a family he's going to do something that brings a family member closest because that's the loyalty test that he has. and that's what he

feels like. he's in control. none of that i think happens, though. and so there will be some of the republican party who were quietly think about what comes next for a post-trump republican party. but they're not there yet. and they're not there. i would even argue after november 5th, even if they lose, it does place a lot of pressure on the biden people and the campaign to focus on those 3 states that they have to win. that would be pennsylvania. that would be michigan. and that would be this constant, those 3 states and the counties, just a few counties in each state become hugely consequential and the voters they're going to be pummeled because the independent or purple people in those it's really going to be hugely important. there are an element of show turns regular habitual voters that we know who will not vote for a convicted felon. what does that look like where they go? it donald trump's top number. it kind of pushes it down. so that means he's got to go negative. and that means that campaign starts right now in terms of going into that full grievance politics. that's what he does. well, double down on that. and so those around. yeah, it started right after court today when he called this are rigged in

disgrace trial. >> he was blaming the biden administration saying that the biden administration was trying to hurt a political opponent. so it it already started. >> and now let's go over some of the key dates that are happen between now and november 5th. so sentencing is set for july 11th. we've learned that today. we do know that the first debate between biden and trump was supposed to june 27th so little before that and then the republican convention in milwaukee is a few days before sentencing one. do you think that that debate still goes on and how do you think things will change then at the republican convention? >> yeah, i mean, look, one of the issues democrats have been worried about is going back to chicago and what could happen. and they they've made some elements of their convention virtual because they don't have to visit some of the protests and revisit some of the bad blood that they had in 1968. the republicans have to consider that as well that they will have these made for television events that we have things going on. but they'll be counter protests going on in milwaukee. there will be a activists going on and you

don't want to have that plane out like it did for republicans in 1972. after democrats have their buck o in chicago. 1968. so you need a heavily controlled you need it made for tv events. you need contrast with what democrats will do beginning in wisconsin, in milwaukee july. 15th after the sentencing. but obviously that's going to play a cloud over everything that goes on. you're going to have to manage things much more closely, which gives the rise of potential virtual events. the conventions are changing. the debates are changing. this is not just a function of donald trump and where politics are at. but conventional politics of old and what we saw just say in 2016 or 2020, that's gone. it's now a different era. and so candidates will adjust. that works to donald trump's benefit with those. he's one who are with him. and with that base, it doesn't work as much with independent voters and certainly not with democrats. and that becomes important because if he's tapped out at that 46, 47% number, he's got to do a conversion. and he talked about that and he hasn't been

successful at that. contrasted with democrats are doing what faced. plus campaign. this is all setting up something we've never seen before. this is the 1968 and it's not even 18, 60. it's really unprecedented in a way. and donald trump wants to be front and center in that. and that's going to lend a i think challenges to people like ourselves to kind of walk motors through it. and then everyone kind of, you know, take a chill with these ups and downs that are going to happen over the next couple of weeks and months. it's 158 days away and that's not very well know. not very long. >> i wanted to compare and contrast a little bit about what happened president nixon and his court cases and also what's happening with trump because of we're talking with some of our other experts in our last hour about how people who were following the nixon case closely will remember where they were when he and do remember where donald trump was. so how did these 2 cases seem similar to and how austin? they seem very separate. >> yeah, thank this is that the tonic shift of 2 different plates that connect our body

politic, republican and democrat, but also connect this those who recognize the rule of law and those who don't. so the divide is not partisan. it's deeper than that. and that's what rise to nixon. certainly in the wake of vietnam and the social political of people in the 1960's. but since that time, our politics have become just that much more, if you will interest candidates, a variety of factors have become hugely more problematic where the rule of law is being challenge. and that is a dramatic difference because nixon 4 tries to do certain things. carter tries to do certain al gore divides by what the supreme court's and vacates the political scene in a large in the wake of the 2000 election happened there in florida with hanging chads. you don't see that with the it's very and as a result, it means that the election and the fight for them, even if they lose on november, 5th isn't over. and that's a big deal because there's also an to their movement that is willing to take up arms

against against fellow americans. that's something we see in other countries. that's not something we see here are not supposed to. but this is in some ways a lot like the pre-civil war period. we have to careful about drawing those parallels and careful about drawing them with nixon. but it is striking that we've been ia these places in the past, but we emerge stronger as a result, even given all of these challenges. and we have to remember that as well. >> so you said we need to take a chill pill here. >> how do suggest that we do that? >> well, i think what we need to do as the media, for example, as we have go gentle into into that fair wind about looking at the circumstances here, institutions are strong political institutions. legal institutions are strong. a jury of your peers and the process. if you will, the solemnity of what you saw. you know, i brag isn't isn't fracking about this. this is a really tough day and a very serious day because of the dramatic shifts that go on here. and you could even further argue that there are more consequential trials or

potential legal challenges ahead for the former president. and that speaks volumes as well. we kind of to pace ourselves here about this kind of going on steroids about outrage. and what is something that, you know, is best left to kind of components of our society. we have to kind of be sober and straight about this and understand the consequences of what's going on because what's at stake in november is a huge, huge deal regardless of what side a side you're on for the future of the united states and what that looks like collectively that something we have to remind ourselves off. >> david mcewan, appreciate coming out. we can talk about this breaking news today. always great to get your perspective. we're going to take a break and be back with take a break and be back with more breaking news after this. new mr. clean ultra foamy magic eraser?

with the scrubbing power of magic eraser and the cleaning power of dawn. watch it make soap scum here... disappear... and sprays can leave grime like that ultra foamy melts it on contact. magic. new ultra foamy magic eraser.

>> we continue to follow breaking news through here. a jury has found former president donald trump guilty and his criminal hush money case. our washington, d.c., correspondent hannah brandt joins now live from dc hanna. what's the latest? >> well, this is certainly a consequential development for former president donald trump. the jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts and this hush money, criminal case. it took them just 2 days of deliberations to reach that conclusion. but we heard former president come out immediately after that verdict was read in court. >> saying that he is innocent and saying that this fight isn't over. >> he in a stunning verdict, a new york jury found former president donald trump guilty of 34 felony charges. prosecutors convinced the jurors that trump illegally falsified business records to cover up the hush money

scheme. but the former president complains the trial was unfair. >> this was disgraceful the real is going to november by the people. the charges could carry jail time for former president trump. >> that will be up to the judge. sentencing is scheduled for july. 11th, but trump's legal team is expected to appeal the decision and we will fight for our constitution. this is about the biden campaign is applauding the verdict saying in the statement in new york today we saw that no one is above the law. donald trump is always mistakenly believed he would never faced consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. and later tonight, we're expecting to hear from the manhattan district attorney who brought this case about how the verdict all played out. >> live in washington, i'm hannah brandt. all right. and we have been watching all live pictures of the former

president trump's leave the courthouse. >> wondering if you know where he's going and what happens now that he's been found it's interesting to hear we'll hear from the manhattan da later on today. that's hannah brandt for us live there in dc. i think our connection there is a little. little off, but it's that's all right. we're going to move on now and talk with our political analyst michael yaki joining us here during kron 4 news at 3. so talk about this historic day. what do you think? michael, thank you for joining us. we just heard there from our dc correspondent that the manhattan da is going to be talking today. what do you think? obviously, they'll be some celebration there. but what do you think that the da will say? >> actually, i don't think that's going to be celebration if he if he does this right, he's going to be talking about the fact that no one is above the law that this was triumph of democracy and you know, and

thank the jurors buy. don't think that he's going to spike the football or take a victory lap. i think that would just sort of feet into the narrative of of donald trump with has been saying prior to during and after the trial and after his conviction, which is that this simply a a a democratic rigged system. have forgone conclusion and i don't think it's going to want to lean into that too much. all right. so we'll wait and hear. >> what the da has to say. when that comes, of course, we'll bring it to hear crowd. 4 news today. >> the former president was asked by reporters as he was leaving me courthouse if he's going to drop out of the race, he's just the presumptive republican nominee. i'm wondering if the republican party is going to leaning in and support former president trump or this is their chance if they've been waiting for to back away from him. >> yeah, i think they're going to double down. i you saw there. he is a parade of folks

who work came into to speak on his behalf after he was with a gag order in a bunch of fines during during the trial. so i fully expected to double down and basically state all the talking points donald trump has been saying all along its rigs here, whatever they want to say about now, this manufactured joe biden and other things that they've continue to from the outset. so we'll see any change other than perhaps even i'm making this more lead into the agreements filled campaign that are already is. >> all right. let's go over some dates. we know that sentencing is set for july. 11th that republican convention in milwaukee for days before that and that there's supposed to be a debate between. president biden and former president trump in late june. does that debate still happen? and then since the debate is before the convention, how that might change things for the republican party july.

>> i i don't see any change. i think that the debate will continue. i think it's and i think it's do trump's interest to go forward with debate as if nothing happened again, lead into the whole narrative that. this was a ridge now a process to lay dating back the 2020 election. and i think that the public convention will be filled with. i'm sort of knowledge wing sinn an embracing of the fact so one of donald trump's caliber was a victim of your deep state politics and changed at all. i mean in a real world, an ad in a different world, world may be 20 years ago with this has had an impact. it would have knocked him out of the campaign. but this is not that world that we're dealing with right now is not the kind of electorate that gets all its news from 3 or 4 different sources. it is a it is an electorate that that for the people who support donald

trump and for the republican party as its manifested nationally and locally is just going to hear it continue here. its own words, bean erica, back that many saw fox news is already saying that this was a era a completely rig rig trial. so, you know, this is going to be more of the same and it's going to be that way through the election. the question is whether or not that's going to be a winning strategy for the election given that there. i think there's a fair amount of people in the middle who might have some discomfort with casting a vote were convicted felon. >> so i found this interesting the online portal for the trump campaign that they used to collect donations appears to be off line right now. the trump campaign tweeting that so many americans were moved to donate to president trump's campaign that the page went down. what does that signal to you? >> that they have a bad web i mean, i would i i would not doubt that that anticipating

is that there is a that there was a flurry of flurry activity. i'm sure it's the same people who have donated before. i don't think this is going to be new money. i don't it's going to going to come from from the from the undecideds already the reagan democrats in the reagan republicans, for that matter out there is this is. so a galvanizing event for them. it's something that again, they lead into because half of this trump campaign is all about money in pain of those legal debts. and this is a great way to help to help do that because he's going to need money for the appeals process for the process to for his lawyers to kraft arguments, make sure he doesn't serve any jail time as a result of this. so more the same and there's one thing i agree without trump is at the final verdict on trump, not in the trial, but trump will be november 5th. >> and that's sort of what the biden harris team said a

little what he also said that the real verdict will come november 5th. so, yes, there's a still a lot to go over today. so michael yaki, we appreciate you joining us here. so we can talk about this and also for the left there, that nice little joke michael yaki think welcome

back to kron 4. we're following breaking news today. it's a historic day in u.s. history for the first time ever, american president has been convicted in a criminal case. >> former president donald trump found guilty on 34 counts today. our team coverage will continue right now with kron four's catherine heenan. she's been watching this trial since it started 6

weeks ago. catherine, what's the latest now? i'm flashing back to like an hour and a half could just and when you and i look at each other like what? >> i don't know why we should have been surprised. but we kept hearing that this was such a complicated, even convoluted case that it would only take one person to put it into the hung jury situation. so i think it was a little surprising that that those told jurors blew through all 34 felony counts and it was done. we had even had indications they were finished and they would be going home for the day. know they were finished as unfinished we talked about the fact that didn't you mention some fundraising conversation shortly after the verdict was read, president biden posted a fundraising appeal. he said there's only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the ballot box. donate to our campaign today and then a practically the same time donald trump's people sonata fundraising

email trump saying in all capital letters, i am a political prisoner. so both going after the money at this point. the judge we mentioned earlier that sentencing is july. 11th. the judge can do a number of things. there could be a fine. there could be a probation. there could be time behind bars that would be considered unlikely. consider probation. i mean, that would raise this bizarre scene of a former president sitting down with a probation officer every couple weeks or so. he would have to do that. and we mentioned in the last hour in the unlikely scenario that he is behind bars for some time. and who knows what's going to happen? the secret service would have to go along with him. there would be at least 2 agents in the prison guarding donald trump during any kind of sentence. so it's just we've never seen anything quite like this. and again, we keep coming back to the fact that the election is only 159 days away. and yes, donald

trump becomes the first a president, former president just staying to become a felon. >> and some of our of sort shock when the verdict came in news was that was almost before 4.30, today in manhattan time there and that we thought that they were just coming back after lunch break and that they were going to wrap up and resume deliberations on friday. but they signal to the judge today that they were ready to come in with this verdict found guilty on all 34 counts in this case. and we've been talking a lot with our experts and i want to get your take on this to of how you would compare this to what happened with president nixon. >> well, i don't know that i would even begin to try to compare it to a president nixon. and again, we've got a whole new generation or 2 of people who are seeing this extreme for the first time going back to the surprise today. yeah, but donald trump

is sitting eating pizza. we're told laughing with his attorneys. >> and they had been given the the indication that the jury was about to be released for the day and go home. yes. so i think that note coming in was. a shock to a lot of people, including trump and just mentioned that the trump thing that witnesses in the courtroom talking about the fact that, you know, he has been a fairly the stark, not particularly responsive, often sitting with his eyes closed, very quiet. and when the verdict came in, they said he did look drained and he looked even more determined not to respond, but that he appeared to be someone who really feeling the blow of what had just happened. just stating was a lot to take in and he did not testify. >> during this trial but did speak to the media waiting there inside of the courtroom before entering and basically every day, including today he called the trial. >> rigged in disgrace. he said that the real verdict is going to be coming on november 5th,

which is a little i think also what the biden harris administration is also kind of meaning at that. what what happened today in court is one thing. but what voters are going to side come november 5th, it is another and i'm wondering what your take is on dunham trump, one of things also argue just staying was quiet. now. >> if you are going to do this, why not do it is 7 years ago? actually a handful of legal analysts on both sides of the aisle who are saying, you know, that's not actually a dump point. why is it happening now? you know, it was i looked at it was more or less tabled. so to come back now that one of the things that drove the trump team absolutely crazy and some legal analysts saying that is a valid question. >> catherine heenan, thank you for that live report from our news room. alwacs great to chat with you in person and on

we've been following breaking news for the past hour and a half here on kron 4. donald trump is now the first u.s. president to be convicted in a criminal case found guilty today on 34 counts. we've been talking about this with a lot of our expert today, including nolan higdon, a professor of human communication with cal state east bay. joining us here now live. thanks so much for your time. again. thank you him. so do think or how the law might work or what you know about this? can't donald trump still run for president? >> my understanding is he can run from as you noted, nobody's been received a felony criminal charge ran for president before, but we haven't presidents our candidates like eugene debs run for president almost 100

years ago. so it is possible to run for with when being found guilty of felonies. even if you are in jail. >> so yeah. so he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records after prosecutors showed up that he tried to cover up these reimbursement payments to his former lawyer, michael cohen. cohen then paid the star, stormy daniels $130,000. so she would stay quiet about an alleged affair that they had right ahead of the 2016 campaign. just so i can recap for anyone that might be just joining us now. trump denied taking pardon anything with daniels to begin with. so he is expected now to appeal this verdict. and i think that's where we can pick things up. now, trump has the manhattan courtroom headed back. we believe to trump tower at this moment. what does the trump team do do now as they try to prepare their campaign for him to run for reelection? >> well, i think triple go to his normal playbook trump has

been a political figure for almost a decade now. so, you know, we know a lot of the those one is hopeful trend, but skepticism about the out there amongst supporters. this what he did, you know, with the media in 2016 or even the whole government in 2016, he also try you know, take the real anger of his supporters and trained directed toward supporting his campaign aligned himself. as you know, i'm the personification of your pain. they're persecuting me like they're persecuting you so vote for me. i think i'll try a lot of those things. i do think one of the things that's going to hold that he was able to communicate in 2016 that he really cant 2024, in my estimation as he was a big proponent ending corruption, he was going to drain the swamp all those types of promises in 2016. after he's found guilty of 34, you know, felonies of of corruption and i'm also records that's going

make interesting figure, difficult figure to make that argument in some polls show that even republican supporters of trump said that he got convicted of a felony. they would consider voting for someone else to. >> so we'll see if still believe in feel that come election day. and you when we talked to earlier, you are the one to point out that the republican convention is 40's before sentencing, which is a july 11th. the judge that that today the republican convention in milwaukee 40's before sentencing data. former president trump is just the presumptive republican nominee. i'm wondering if you think that will happen if the republican party is going to still stand behind him and then what happens at the convention now, how how the republican party handles what just happened today? >> yeah, you know, if the republican party you if republican party is thought about possibly changing their waiting till sentencing is going to be a bad decision for

them he's going cents on the 11th and the convention starts 4 days after that. only gives them, you know, a handful of days to decide if they want to stick with that only gives them a hand full days of polling to see how republican voters and trump supporters will react not only to the to the verdict, but the sentencing that happens on on july. 11th. so i think this could you know, really consequential. it's it's going to cause a lot of fear leaders, the republican party, if they start to polling that shows that people are willing to turn against trump, if indeed he's, you know, put in jail, for example. >> so what could happen there, we'll have to wait and see is a lot of waiting and seeing with this you really pointing out comparisons and some kind of contractions, too. what happened with a former president nixon and i'm hoping you might be able to address the historical implications of today and how that might compared to what happened so many years ago.

>> yeah. if you talk to anyone who was you know, during the last days of the nixon administration, they will tell you they were they remember watching, you know, nixon say goodbye and get on a helicopter in leave the white house. and that may not seem like a big deal to today's audiences, but this was someone stepped down in the middle of a term from the most powerful position on earth because he was facing the threat of getting kicked out. i'm in my estimation that doesn't even hold a candle to to what we just saw in terms of criminality. a donald trump was convicted of 34 felonies and where nixon was able to, you know, go home and maybe years later, sort of admits there was wrongdoing. trump is on the campaign trail right now. trump is running for president right now. he's not able to kind of disappear and process and let people get over it. he is out there and he's going to answer for these things. and i questions about this. this trial, the criminality, what it means for his political prospects. these

questions are going to front and center for him. all republicans as well. it's going to be a >> long 100 plus days between now and november. 5th. how will you teach this to your students? >> well, i think, you know, one of the things remind my students of us, especially since the last day as the obama administration is, you know, our politics today are not americans have always disagreed. and they've had, you know, huge arguments and fights. but the degree of polarization now is somewhere where facts don't seem to people side with their party or person before they hear the policy or the argument. it's it's simply abnormal in. and i hope that something like this trial can set us on a trajectory in a different these these were 12 jurors. there was evidence these these conclusions were made. so i hope there there's faith the system and help u.s. start to 7 a conversation about how important these systems are that we have. >> dylan hayden, appreciate
