3:30 am
jason, it's loading right now as an even hard core. democrats say there is no crime and that it should never have been brought about even people that are in big things have said they said this is not the right thing to do. it's an insult to our country as the world is already laughing at us for so many other reasons, like our open borders are incompetent. withdrawal from afghanistan, where we left behind american citizens, $85000000000.00 worth of the best military equipment in the world. lost 13 magnificent young lives and far too many to mention that are so badly hurt with the loss of arms and legs and facial obliteration the most embarrassing time. in our country's history, in my opinion,
3:31 am
then our give up on energy independence and even energy dominant. we're going to be dominant within 6 months, more than any other nation times to we had this all just 3 years ago, are raging crime statistics. if you look in democrat runs cities, numbers the likes of which we have never seen before. the open threats by various countries of the use of nuclear weapons. something never mentioned or discussed by outside nations during the trump administration in which could very well lead under the biden administration's leadership to an all out nuclear world. war 3 can happen. we're not very far away from it, believe it or not, an economy that has been crippled by the biggest inflation we have seen in more than 60 years. and a military that i used to defeat isis in 4 weeks. they said it would take 4 years.
3:32 am
4 weeks to kill our bag, daddy and sala maney. that is now gone, woke at the top levels by trying to indoctrinate every one down to the lowest ranking patriot. but now they have really stepped up their efforts by indicting the 45th president of the united states who received 075000000 votes. which is more than any sitting president in the history of our country. and in the wings. they've got a local races, democrat district attorney in atlanta who is doing everything in her power to indict me over an absolutely perfect phone call even what perfect that the one i made with the president of ukraine. remember, it kept saying that's
3:33 am
a perfect call. this one was more perfect. nobody said, sir, you shouldn't say that many people on the phone or hung up in disgust because of something i inappropriately said, because nothing was said wrong. in fact, at the end of the call, we agreed to continue our conversation about election fraud and election fraud specifically in georgia. at a later time, many people on the phone including lots of lawyers. nobody found anything wrong with that perfect. call until a book promotion tour. busy many months later, all of a sudden they say, you know, i remember chuck making a call this look at that. this fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election. and it should be dropped immediately. movie
3:34 am
then you have a radical, a lunatic known as a bomb thrower, who is harassing hundreds of my people day after day, over the boxes hoax. you know, the boxes hooks, as we call it, just so everyone knows. i come under what's known as the presidential record jack, which was designed and approved by congress long ago. just for this reason. under the act, i'm supposed to negotiate with narrow the national archives and records administration, which as of this day, is a radical left trouble making organization that red flags the constitution of the united states and the bill of rights as dangerous and triggering. can you imagine this is what we have to deal with, but there is no commonality under the presidential records act. that is not what it's all about. we were negotiating and very good faith proper
3:35 am
way in order to return some or all of the documents that i openly and in very plain sight brought with me to morrow logo from our beautiful white house, just as virtually every other president has done in the past. when epi, i in d r. j officials with narrow way. here i told my lawyer to show them the very secure storage room in which they were locked. the f b i so request in writing was could you please put another lock on the door? we immediately complied. select different than the biden's situation, isn't it? the next thing i know we were rated by many gun toting f. b. i. agents who took whatever they wanted, including my passports and medical records. everybody was in shock. nobody had ever
3:36 am
heard of such a rate before. i can't even believe at who would think that that could happen today . i immediately thought of the 4th amendment that protects against unreasonable search and seizure. but they did it anyway because our justice system has become lawless. they're using it now in addition to everything else to win elections. apparently they're not looking at me through the view of the non criminal presidential record check. they came up with a new one. this is a new one. and they're looking at me through the espionage act. think at, at how does that sound of 1917 where the penalty is death. even though that has absolutely nothing to do with openly taking boxes of documents and mostly clothing and other things to my home. which president obama has done the
3:37 am
bushes have done. jimmy carter's done, ronald reagan is done. everybody's done. in fact, hillary clinton got rid of 33000 e mails and that was okay. but nobody's done it like joe, by his lunatic. a special prosecutor named jack smith, i wonder what it was prior to a change who others of his ilk say, he's even worse than they are. is only looking at trump, yet joe biden took massive amounts. more documents, even removed too many boxes to china town. we believe that just got $10000000.00 from china. where did that count from? i guess they were banking on hunter's expertise and had other stored in unsecured offices and pennsylvanian screwing all over his garage floor where his now very famous corvette is also stored all over the floor,
3:38 am
including classified documents. but that's ok. perhaps most importantly, he has 1850 boxes in delaware, which he is refusing to give up. but isn't that real obstruction? that's obstruction as president, i have the right to declassify documents and the process is automatic. if i take them with me, it's automatic. declassify biden was vice president. he had absolutely no right to declassify as vice president. he doesn't come under the non criminal presidential records act. he comes under the very criminal federal records act, unfortunately for him, but it's not gonna matter because they don't follow the law which has very severe penalties. he had classified documents that he took while he was a senator,
3:39 am
which is absolutely inexcusable, and other senators, including democrats, are outraged. but he's not being harassed and hounded. like the people who work for me are in fact they seem to have forgotten about his documents entirely so many thousands and thousands. okay. with him, they like to say that i'm obstructing which i'm not because i was working with nero very nicely until the raid on my home. but biden is obstructing by making it impossible to get the 1850 boxes or explain why many documents were located in chinatown. can explain it why without jonathan? i don't know. lastly, i'm under investigation this time a civil investigation by another racist in reverse. who also campaigned on, i will get trump by law, get on is was,
3:40 am
are campaign never ran for office. i will gather her name is latisha james. ah, i'm, she proclaimed while campaigning, quote, i look forward to going into the office of the attorney general. every single day, suing him and then going home. before she know me, she announced what is fueling my so right now is trump. and that she had her eyes on trump tower. those eyes are focused on trump town. didn't know the young lady. she even assured her supporters in an election promise that we're going to definitely sue him. we're going to be a real pain in the ass. he's going to know my name personally. well. and then she claimed that i was an illegitimate president. thank you. think of it
3:41 am
was all with all we did with all we did on energy with all we did on the military, on taxes because tax cuts and history biggest regulation cuts in history. right? to try people able to get drugs. now that are to prove, hopefully you don't have that problem. but he, he james bow do use every area of the law to quote, investigate president trump and his business transactions. those transactions are going to be investigated. she said. and that of her families and his family were gone after his family and were going after them hard. this is all before entering office and all before knowing anything at all about me, but you are gonna get me. this is why, along with unrelenting crime. so many people in companies are leaving new
3:42 am
york. she said that i falsified my financial statements, but in fact were proving and will prove that my financial statements were substantially more than we submitted. not less. and in all cases, have a strong disclaimer clause in them which tells the institutions that may look at that if they want to not to rely on the statement. but they've got a problem with their case because number one, i am very under leverage. they can't believe all the stuff they read and gave and have very little debt relative to the value of assets. and importantly, not one bank has lost even $1.00. she was investigating me to save. banks have very good lawyers. but they didn't lose a dollar. where there's, during this period of time, in fact, the banks were talking about,
3:43 am
made almost $200000000.00 off donald trump. and they like me very much. we never missed a payment, never got a default. notice had a great relationship with all of them. i don't need banks have a lot of cash. i built a great business with my family built a fantastic person. i have a son here is done a great job and i have another son, harris done a great job with him. and even in baron will be great some days tall. he is to any smart, but i have a great family and they've done a fantastic job and we appreciate it very much. they've gone through
3:44 am
so he's doing me overbearing that weren't to fraud when she should be focused on violent crime, that's driving people out of the state. this is a persecution, not an investigation. she has put our family through hell. it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to defend. but our hedge are held very, very high. they wanna settle the case, but i want no part of that. so here we are now where we were to day in a city that was so great as 4 or 5 years ago. but now were there spend time there today as you possibly read with a local failed district attorney. charging a former president of the united states for the 1st time in history on
3:45 am
a basis that every single pond and an illegal anna said, there is no case. there's no case. they kept saying, there's no case virtually everyone. what is far worse than because he knew there was no case. that's why last week he delayed for a month and then immediately took that back and threw this ridiculous indictment together. came out today. everybody said this is not really an indictment. there's nothing here. i lose came to me and they said this nothing here. they're not even saying what you did. the criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grass forward he he'd be prosecuted or at a minimum he should resign. and elvin brags wife confirmed a report that claimed her husband has trump nailed on felonies. she has
3:46 am
since locked down her twitter account. ah, his chief prosecutor who represented the democrats and crooked hillary clinton and a firm run by chuck schumer, his brother robert. he quit the firm in order to go to work in the d. i office in order to get trunk. can you imagine that hillary clinton's lawyer, democrat, lawyer, democrat firm, ultimately he quit as she prosecutor, because brag, didn't think he had a case. they get that same guy that brought this ridiculous thing today. yet during his investigation, this prosecutor named mark palmer ranch road and published a book saying, all sorts of privilege things and has been very strongly rep record earlier reprimand he was reprimanded so strongly. i've never seen anything like it, i've probably the end of it. but what he did was probably very illegal,
3:47 am
but it was very, very strongly reprimanded. even district attorney brag was furious with him. ready having a tremendous fight in the office because of it. but hope is never lost because various prosecutors in the da's office also quit because they thought president trump was being treated very unfairly. how about that in that? great. oh, i love them. i'd like them me. i'd like to meet the da's office even had a web page meet the team of executives who have done this to president job. that was a title and then ice. they immediately had to take it down. meanwhile, over all crime and new york was up 30 percent last year. much more than that, the year before with felony assaults, robberies and burglaries all up by massive, massive numbers. not the same place that i know not the same place that you know.
3:48 am
and this is where we are right now. i have a trump painting judge with the trumpeting wife and family whose daughter worked for kamala harris and now receives money from the biden harris campaign. and a lot of it, we recently had another trial and the same judge told the fine man to work for me for many, many years. that if you admit your guilt, you will be in jail for 90 days. but if you doubt it, we go through a trial in your found guilty, you're going away for 10 years, maybe longer, which for 75 year old man with a great family really means life. what the prosecutors and judge did to that man, i will never forget because it's right out of the old soviet union. that's where we
3:49 am
are. they said you say anything about trump, meaning that's bad and you won't even have to serve the 90 days. you'll walk free and they say that to many of my employees, we have this jack smith lunatic, threatening people every single day through his representatives. they're threatening jail terms. but talk about trump and you'll go free. this is what we are as a nation, who would have thought they can't beat us at the ballot box. so they try and beat us through the law. that's the country in which we live. however, right now the u. s. a is a mess. our economy is crashing, inflation is out of control. russia has joined with china. can you believe that saudi arabia has joined with a ran china, russia, iran and north korea have formed together as
3:50 am
a menacing and destructive coalition would have never happened. if i were, your president would never have happened, nor would russia attack in ukraine have happened. all of those lives would be saved . all of those beautiful cities would be standing. our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world's standard, which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years, there will be no defeat like that. that will take us away from being even a great power. if you took the 5 horse presidents in the history of the united states and added them up, they would not have done near the destruction to our country as joe biden. and the biden administration have done incredibly, we are now a failing occasion. not will remain engaged in the words of former us president
3:51 am
donald trump. oh, speaking like not my lago in florida after being charged with 34 felonies of falsifying business records from said i thought this could never happen in america . our country is going to hell. he said there is no crime. he's attacking the near prosecutor. ivan brown, all the charges against him. he also said this is an election interference. the fake case he says was brought on only to interfere in the 2024 election. and he again reiterated his false election charges about 2018. john hendern has been lifting in to the former president with us as you predicted john b before we went to the speech, we didn't hear a new donald trump is still talking about the same things. hillary clinton's e mails hunter biden, for selection charges and so on. that's
3:52 am
right, donald trump did what he does so well, and that is the politics of grievance. there were a number of voters in the 2016 election who felt ignored, mostly older white voters. and those are the people who helped get him elected and they are still the die hards who support him. the one 3rd or so of the republican party that is helping him become the lead nominee for the 2024 election. and if you're irony alert, went off minded to because i heard trump as well say that this is all election interference in the 2024 election. let's look back and see what he was doing in georgia. he's being accused in georgia by the prosecutor there who he just maligned, of interfering in the 2020 election. so he's turning this on its head in saying this is all. busy and effort by a co ball of liberal prosecutors, each of whom he criticized by name in new york. the new york attorney general alvin
3:53 am
brag here in the city of new york who indicted him and was at the court house today . the georgia, fulton, county prosecutor, the, the mark smith, the special counsel in washington dc who's also looking into him. he criticized each of them by name and the judge. in this case, who just today admonished the trump team to keep the language down because it could incite people. so trump is doing what we have seen him do time and time again, and that is to rally his bass to attack those who in his perception are attacking him. and i think this is something we can expect to continue throughout these court cases. he's just simply not backing down on the day in which he pleaded no guilty to those $34.00 charges. thank you for that, john hendrick live there in new york. let's discuss this further. now with kurt volker was a former us ambassador to nato and was
3:54 am
a key witness in president trump. impeachment trial is focused joining us from washington d. c. thank you so much for speaking to tell me 1st what he thought of what the president, the former president just said now well, and no surprise. we knew that this is the position that he's going to take, and that there is a narrative there, which is that the democrats are weapon ising, the justice system against president trump. so that's the line that he's going to be taking. and then at the same time, the democrats will be taking the line that look, nobody is above the law, even a former president, if it committed a crime, has to be prosecuted. so there's really nothing new in this. what i worry about, as i look at this from a foreign policy perspective, is we have countries around the world where people are prosecuting their predecessors. they are seeking to investigate their political opponents. and they'll be seizing on this as a example. when
3:55 am
a justification they see they do this in the united states. so we can do this here . yeah. interesting that you mentioned foreign policy, because any speech there, he talked about, the fact that you have to de china and russia becoming allies, soule, jarivia, and yvonne. as a former nato envoy, curt volker, we saw today finland, of course, joined the alliance. and trump says that the war in ukraine, for example, wouldn't have happened under his watch. well, what did you make of that? well, that's a completely unknowable thing. putin invaded ukraine because of putin's own ambitions. he wants to recreate a russian empire and he denies the existence of his, of a separate ukrainian national identity in a separate ukrainian state. now, i think he did look at the withdrawal from afghanistan as a disaster and said that the u. s. in the west do not have the will to,
3:56 am
to sustain their support for their endeavors abroad. so he thought he might be able to get away with it. what would have happened if trump had remained in power? would he have withdrawn from afghanistan? the same way? would prudent have refrained? nobody can know that. okay, so now just looking at the case and, and how it impacts the 2024 political campaign, the presidential campaign. now what, what do you think it's going to happen? will this reinvigorate from well, in the short term, it is definitely done that this has definitely given trump a boost among his supporters and even those who are on the fence in the republican party. i think they are inclined to look at this as unfair, and therefore it is helping him in the short term. what happens in the long term though, we still don't know. we need to see whether there are more serious charges brought the ones that are brought today. i think
3:57 am
a lot of people will look at is rather frivolous. they all relate to pay off to a porn star. but are there more serious charges that are going to come up in the future? and that's one thing. and does the weight of this actually play out over time? one of the interesting things that came up today is the next phase in this prosecution of trump will come up in december of this year. and that's a long time from now and very close to the primaries. that again introduces an uncertainty. what's really going to happen here? ok, thank you so much for talking to us and sharing your use current vodka. joining us from washington d. c. let's check in with our correspondent in florida. nasa who's seine we just heard from former president trump not fair. tell us about the moving forward after this historic date was definitely that it was her campaign speech in at store, even though the president was not that energetic as we know. but they, the headline of this speech would be basically, and now he's not talking to the rest of the word. he's talking basically to his
3:58 am
american base, to florida, to georgia, to all the republicans who still believe in him and the message being. now i am the victim, the institutions, the f, b i, the white house, the democrats, the radical left. these on his own terms are after me. and he started citing couple of examples. now when it comes to the presidential documents, for example, he told us little bit, some of the details that we probably didn't know in the media isn't when the way it when the f b. i seized those possession documents secret top secret that he took with him to florida. he said he was negotiating with the f. b i with in good faith. but in fact, he was trapped. a v, a radical left inside the f b i. according to him, just seized the moment and seized everything in the house, including his passport. but the main narrative to night is basically i am the victim. and this is all done because the democrats, the radical left don't want me to be the next president of the united states. yes,
3:59 am
that's what we heard from the former u. s. president saying that this was election interference. thank you very much, nasa for that. nasa. how seine life or is there in florida after we heard from president donald trump, former president, donald trump, reacting for the 1st time since charges were brought against them at $34.00 felony charges on falsifying business records are earlier brought in new york, the president as massa was saying they're saying that this is not a crime. he attacked their new york prosecutor and again, call this election interference. we'll have plenty more on this coming up on al jazeera in just a few minutes. and we'll also have more of the days news, including the tensions at the al axa masking occupied east jerusalem. stay with us on al jazeera. we're back in just a few minutes. ah,
4:00 am
