10:22 am
independents, 202-748-8002. for georgia residents, 202-748-8003. the former president is back on what was formerly twitter. his first tweet in 2.5 years. after the return to new jersey last night, he tweeted donald j. trump.com, mugshot august 24, 2023. election interference. never surrender. his last tweet was on -- just before the inauguration of jill biden in 2021. let's hear from the first calder, dave on the line. caller: good morning america. this is what i was say. i think there's a lot going on here. we all know the d.a. in georgia is a democrat.
10:23 am
we have to look at that. i think the american people see what is happening in washington dc. we are not stupid. this is election interference. everybody knows it. this case will go to the supreme court like all the other cases will go to the supreme court. we note what is going to happening there. they will throw it all out. get ready for that because it is going to happen because everything is going to be an appeal. host: bob on the democrats line. your reaction to the indictment yesterday of the former president. caller: yes, sir.
10:24 am
[indiscernible] host: your phone is breaking up a bit. can you give us a call back. curtis in maryland. on the independent line. caller: good morning. i've been trying to express this thought of mine for a while now. happy to get through this morning. it amazes me that people are supporting donald trump. after he is broken so many laws when it comes to the election, when it comes to other things he has been in court for. i understand why they support him the way they do. any time you support an individual who says that if he was to get back in office, he is going to repeal the
10:25 am
constitution, demolish the court system or the justice system, and any other institution dealing with the government. these people who are supporting him they want something other than the agenda donald trump. donald trump has a dictator agenda. the people that is behind him -- and i hate to say this and i know people do not want to hear this, a lot of people there are supporting him on the republican side are the people, excuse me if i offend anybody this morning, are the people that aren't racist people in this country -- are racist people in this country and they think the country belongs to them and not with the see anybody in this country progress in this country. it amazes me that you will
10:26 am
support a man that has violated the rules in the constitution, has no type of integrity, and do not stand for this government whatsoever. host: lacey in tennessee on the democrat line. go ahead. caller: yes. i am wondering if there is but one side because what i do not understand is the protests and things i hear are from the republican side. i am wondering if there's only one side. he is the anointed one because he is getting away with anything he wants to do and if you try to do anything about it, it is a catch-22. i do not understand but i tell you what i do understand, he can call his troops out and people barely be aware in case there is another side company better gun
10:27 am
up -- if there is another side, you better gun up. host: we have a line for georgia residents. on that line, najim, republican caller. your thoughts on what took place and what is ahead for your community. caller: yes. good morning. the whole think yesterday was overstated for thisrico case they put together. this going to implode. the whole idea is to jam it self up because they know there is an election. this is peer unadulterated election interference. what is in the future? another victory and they are trying to make it so you cannot question an election. i do not by jill biden quote -- joe biden one the election.
10:28 am
you will see is this thing goes on, is going to magnify and then what are we going to do? joe biden's policies has failed. look at the situation in hawaii. look at the condition of the country. we are on the verge of a third world war because of the insane militarization of what we have done in ukraine. jill you will see -- you will see, down will win in 2024 because of this interference going on right now. host: the georgia official at point person for investigating charges of interference in the election in georgia was to secretary of state brad
10:29 am
raffensperger who's testify before the grand jury and may be called to testify in the case against donald trump and the other codefendants. he was on this program in 2021 and he talked about that moment that president trump called seeking additional votes in georgia. [video clip] >> i stood on the truth. i stood on the law. sitting constitution and some people had a problem with that. i'm grateful for republicans that support me. it was a difficult and hard loss for us but understand you always believe in the rule of law and you fight hard to protect the constitution. when i talk to some people these days, i get -- people so aligned with president trump and they want me to somehow fudge the numbers, put my hand on the skill, and i did not do that. host: some reaction on social media via text from the
10:30 am
arraignment yesterday. the indictment intake process of the former president from steven says that trump is going to try and use election interference is a different strategy, you will be found guilty quickly. the case is not about election difference. it is about trump trying to still an election. pamela says i think it is a disgrace for our country we have to be here because trump could not accept a loss. he conspired to overturn the election. he always been a criminal. anthony said i think the indictments are having the opposite of the intended effect. stephen in arizona, i would caution all sides to consider the court of balance, factual evidence is what matters, not opinions, not emotions. republicans, 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents, 202-748-8002.
10:31 am
for those of you in georgia, the line is 202-748-8003. we go to florida. llatricia, democratic caller. caller: good morning. i want to speak about president trump and never surrender tweet he posted but he did some at yesterday. it is like everything else he does. he can tell you one thing but show you something else. i am more appalled at other republicans who support trump and not our constitution. we cannot be a supporter of trump and support the constitution. it is not patriotic. i want to remind people about when al gore ran against george bush. al gore loss. which cost him the presidency. not once did anybody write it. not once did anybody attack our capital. not once did anyone try to go against the government. he lost.
10:32 am
president bush was sworn in. 62 courts have denied president trump the ability to fight this fraudulent election because it and he lost in all 62 course. this should be tried in court. he has laws. this is no other way to say it. people do not wake up, i do not understand what our country is coming to. thank you for taking my call. host: james in arkansas on the independent line. caller: good morning, america, my fellow veterans and americans. i want to say something. trump says he has the right to reject election. he had the right and went to court 62 times and was denied. it is a good think al capone is not running for president. there was say the
10:33 am
justice department is weaponizing against al capone. wake up. he is a showman. thank you. host: we go to our line for georgians. barry in valdosta. caller: you have an independent called a few minutes ago. he said trump was trying to be a dictator. if you sit and think about it, a dictator tells what you're going to do and where you want to die and live. that sounds about what biden is doing trying to be added to crack -- a ditocrat. donald trump did not really lose the election because it was a bunch of fraudulent ballots. host: where is valdosta? what part of the state? caller: probably about 8 miles
10:34 am
from the florida georgia line in the middle of georgia. host: do you feel the most of your community members and neighbors, the people you know, more in line with your views or the views of say fulton county district attorney? fani willis? host: -- caller: more light in with my views because they look at this as i am, election interference. and it is -- host: next up jimmy on the republican line. caller: i wish america would get past this garbage. that was three years ago. we have so many problems in u.s. open borders, fentanyl. we are going to go broke in this country. this is what the administration wants. they want communism. let them have it. look at the cities. look at what is going on in
10:35 am
america. we were energy independent. now all we have is fentanyl, crime, biden does not have a clue. u.s. is going to fail if there is not change. i'm not saying it is trump. i do not care who it is. you know this country is on a downward spiral. china try to do everything. we do nothing. we do not protect the borders. let's forget about trump. you want to put him in jail? fine. but what about biden? nobody goes after him. doj it would not do anything. the laptop has been there five years. if this is what you want in america, fine. remember what goes around comes around. thank you very much for your time. host: some of the latest polling we are seeing on the charges against former president. the headline from "politico" lock him up?
10:36 am
a new poll has bad news for trump. a look at deeper into that story. they link to a "politico" poll, three out of five americans say trump should stand trial before the republican primaries or between 24 general election -- or before the 2024 general election. abe is on the line, left on the. democratic caller. caller: yes, good morning. this is abe. i just want to remind everybody donald trump he mentioned that he was a snake. host: make sure you listen to the phone and not your television so you do not get confused. turn down the television and go on with the comments. caller: my television is on mute
10:37 am
but i am still getting feedback for some reason. anyway, i talked to a lot of my friends and i remember when barack obama ran for president. they said they do not want a muslim. i kept trying to explain to them he is not a muslim. the point is they just did not want a black man in the white house. because it was new. now this is what we got. they tried everything. i guess to keep this country white but the think is they have not tried working with both,
10:38 am
with all americans. why don't we work with all americans so that we -- they want this country to be right so we need all the americans. host: looking deeper into the pole we mentioned, three out of five americans say trump should stand trial before the public in primaries or 2024 general election. the polling finds former president donald trump should stand trial on the 2020 election case before the republican primaries in early 2024 or before the general election in november. something that held steady between sensitive documents case and election observation case. however, compared to "politico" june polling, slightly fewer americans say they understand the charges against trump, even as a majority say they understand the various cases. we will show you some of the timeline of the cases pending against trump and how it stacks
10:39 am
up, it up against the timeline -- lines up against other key dates. host: ken in south dakota. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. i'm getting some sort of feedback. i hope you can hear me. host: we can. we hear you just fine. caller: somebody should remind the former president there's a difference between teaching and challenging. when i go to my teacher and i think he or she has made a mistake on my paper, my grade, i challenge. i say this is what it is. this is how i have answered the question and why did i not get the grade. teaching means --cheating means you use a cell phone or harm or
10:40 am
something and i cheat. that is i think what is going on here. in the minds of some of our friends in the republican party, they do not understand the difference between cheating and challenging. that is it. host: david on the republican line in riverside, california. caller: good morning, bill. good morning, america. as another dark day in america with the cap president with a mugshot. in countries where they not have good democracies, -- in russia recently they killed the opposition leader by shooting down his airplane it appears. in america, we do not do this. we do not interfere with elections and after someone who is president -- the way they are prosecuting trump is unlike anything i have seen. i think it may have started because at trump rallies they
10:41 am
will have the chance to lock her up about clinton which was unusual for america and always made me feel sick. trump said during a debate he was going to put her in prison but once he was president he did not do that. the charges against trump by the government should be drop. the very least the trial should be postponed after the election. i want desantis. not trump but i think what is happening is un-american. how can we be sure future elections will be free and fair if you are one and i'm of putting your political opponent in jail? -- one indictment of weight and putting your political opponent in jail? host: you think postponing the trials, let us say the former president won the election, how would that play out at the trials were held after he had won the election? caller: i am glad you asked. but i'm have been thinking about that. i think the president to get a root canal and claimed to be under anesthesia and the right
10:42 am
president could pardon him. host: front page of the wall street journal. this mugshot, you have seen it and make sure -- i am sure. trump booked. i want to pull up the front page. the wall street journal look at the four cases facing former president trump. they have a timeline of how the cases line up. first of all, mar-a-lago, classified documents case he's facing. 40 federal charges. that trial scheduled for may 20, 2024. alleged payments to stormy daniels is a new york case, 34 charges they are scheduled to go to trial march 25, 2024. the first of the four trials.
10:43 am
the efforts to overturn the 2020 election, jack smith charges in the wake of january 6, there are four federal charges here. a hearing for that is scheduled -- not scheduled until august of next year, august 28. the georgia election interference, charges he was booked on yesterday, 13 charges. they will arraign it sometime in early september. there is a proposed trial date of october 23 of this year for the georgia case. going up a bit to show you the timeline of where things line up for the cases. you got the georgia interference. here are the iowa caucuses, early january. super tuesday, i believe march 5 and then the gop convention in july in milwaukee. georgia interference case proposed trial october 23.
10:44 am
january 6 case still no trial date. scheduled date for mar-a-lago date may 20. the scheduled trial date for the stormy daniels case is scheduled for march 25th. a collision of important dates in the political world for the former president and for the trials. to our georgia line and hear from michael in georgia. democrats line. caller: hello, america. i love my country. i love my state. you can say those things but please prove them. if you cannot prove -- stop saying it. this country was built on the
10:45 am
foundation that when you lost the race, you bow down and become humble. you say i loss. i'm not going to be president anymore. you be at the inauguration to turn the country over to the next president. something is wrong. this man cannot be a president again. he is already attacked our country. i'm a vietnam veteran. i will tell you if you could have saw what i saw on january 6, i saw the attack of my country. it hurts me that fellow americans would attack our country. host: this is deborah on twitter
10:46 am
who simply says this in her tweet, he, donald trump had the right to take his claims the court and it should have ended there. from william, dj t latest indictment, it has been made clear over and over again if you have enough money, you do not have to take response ability for your actions. barb, republicans capable of bringing any lawsuit against any chap adversary. where are the lawsuits? maybe they know what they do not have evidence to convict anyone. i a senator or representative and tell them to bring lawsuits against the democrats. from the ajc, they are tracking the continued booking of defendants in the trump case. five more trump defendants about at the fulton jail overnight for we also have a live camera outside the fulton county jail. there are a total of believe 18 to turn themselves in and be
10:47 am
booked. it is really there but the ajc writing about folks turning themselves in as early as or late as 3:00 this morning. windsor, connecticut is up next on the independent line, kevin. caller: good morning, america. there are no political pundits going after each other. it is democracy going after trump. all these republican supporters look out the window because deep state out there is a bunch of flack. democracy stood up yesterday and that is trump's problem and we need it for the future presidents, feature trump and and nixon's that come along to try to slow democracy.
10:48 am
-- try to still democracy. host: larry from illinois on the republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. just a couple of things. i think trump is being politically prosecuted. i've never seen any defendants have their mugshot put on tv like it was last night. all over cnn for hours and msnbc for hours. if they want to divide america, they should just keep it up and probably get their hands full with a lot of things that will not like. i just hope if they do find something with hunter biden or his father, they pose their mugshot's or pictures all over your channel, msnbc, cnn and leave it there for hours.
10:49 am
i am just sick of it. i do not believe president trump did everything correct. but i do not believe he deserves what he is getting right now. host: you feel the four cases do not stand up against the president? he is being unfairly charged in all four of the cases? caller: i do not know that much about it as far as the facts go. i just believe he's probably guilty of some things but he's not guilty of all of them. i think probably within six months some of these attorneys will be booked -- writing a book about how they prosecuted an ex-president for the first time in history. there have been millions of dollars by journalists -- made
10:50 am
by jewelers who like to write books and articles for newspapers. i just think this is overkill. host: it appears the first case we will see is the case in fulton county. the headline from the back to ajc, fulton judge says october trial date for trump defendant writing judge set in october 23 trial date for one of the 19 defendants in georgia sleeping election subversion case. fast-moving developments, district attorney fani willis propose the new aggressive start date with 41 count racketeering trial in response to kenneth chesebro's motion seeking a speedy trial. just got mcafee wait in setting the trial date but rolling it will only apply to chesebro, who was indicted for his work in helping assemble a slate of quote alternate republican
10:51 am
electors in georgia. you can read all of that article at ajc.com. in maine on the democrats line it is roxanne. caller: good morning. host: good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. i am baffled by everything that is happening. i grew up -- [indiscernible] they worked hard. they did not have a gold spoon, everything handed to them. [indiscernible]
10:52 am
there is no reason for all this. he did not go to the debate because of the criticism. [indiscernible] host: mary in north carolina. caller: hi. to me, this is not really about donald trump. it is about our judicial system. i am very disappointed in this country. i'm disappointed in our government. i am very disappointed about what president biden has done
10:53 am
. i feel he is getting money from someone to keep the border open. it could be from china. it could be from someone in mexico. someone is paying him to keep the border open. host: mary, go back to your comment you said you were disappointed in the judicial system, in relation to the trump charges, where you disappointed about? -- what are you disappointed about? caller: the way they are handling this. the attorney general and the fbi is stopping any investigation the republicans are doing against biden. they cannot get it past the attorney general. that is one thing. it starts at the top. they are turning this country
10:54 am
into a jungle. our judicial system is so rotten. i am tired of it. that is all. i'm more disappointed in democrats because at heart i am a democrat. host: this conversation this morning about the indictment, arrival of former president trump and intake at the fulton county jail in georgia. trump facing 13 counts of election interference there in georgia as a result of the 2020 presidential election. taking your phone calls and comments. republicans, 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents and others, 202-748-8002. welcome georgia residents on 202-748-8003.
10:55 am
i'm prior caller mentioned the tucker carlson interview that was debuted on x while the first presidential gop debate was happening. headline here from "wall street journal" about that interview. the program strained on eggs to -- streamed on x to 236 million impressions. the interview was is that them attempt to upstage eight republican rivals who were debating on fox news, the wall street journal writes it was a glaring display of the fissures in right-wing media and opening salvo in fighter that will test whether social media platforms can mount a serious challenge to tv news. during that debate, the candidates were asked if they would support the former president if you were convicted. of any charges he faces. [video clip] >> president trump has been indicted in four different
10:56 am
states on 19 one counts. he will be processed tomorrow in georgia for charges relating to the 2020 election laws. >> you all find a place to support the eventual republican nominee. -- signed a pledge to support the eventual replicant nominee. if convicted, would you still support him as your party's choice? please raise your hand if you would. host: from the fox debate the other night in milwaukee, wisconsin. the first gop president of debate. to our georgia line in savannah, it is richard on the republican line. caller: good morning. i remember not long ago stacey abrams and daley saying brian kemp cheated, stole the election
10:57 am
of governor. for several years she said that and she said that she still says that. i remember hillary clinton calling trump illegitimate. he stole the election. i remember her paying for the dossier to illegally do things against trump. i know for a fact, i grew up in atlanta not far from the courthouse, i had to move out because it is a war zone. atlanta is become a disgrace for the state of georgia. i remember democrats arrested dr. king 29 times for freedom of speech. my problem is atlanta, washington, dc, and new york city 100% democrat, campaigned
10:58 am
on getting trump. what kind of justice system do we have when our people, district attorneys, campaigned on getting a man and finally doing it? you want him or you or me going to that court system. this is totally wrong. it is election interference. i am from georgia. georgia is a great estate. -- a great state. but you cannot go down to atlanta without the fear of getting shot. democrats run philadelphia, chicago, new york city. host: the district attorney in georgia, fani willis will face scrutiny from house republicans. this they have line in cleveland.com reporting jim
10:59 am
jordan analysis probe of georgia da who indicted trump -- analysis probe of da who indicted trump. he announced his launching an agreement to whether the district attorney who indicted x president trump on conspiracy charges coordinated her work with federal law enforcement. jordan, a republican sent a letter demanding fulton county da fani willis provide his committee with information on her offices communications with the u.s. department of justice and executive branch officials and information on federal funding at the -- the office receives. to our georgia line, jabaris calling from athens. caller: john carrollton, just the statement, chump supporters read the indictment. the host, did you read the
11:00 am
indictment? how much do i love c-span? i love c-span immensely. those are my thoughts about the covers you provided last night. it was incredible. a quick side note. mitchell on cnn last night. i get a little jealous when the host of "washington journal" show up anywhere else. self-awareness, i do not know everything. i'm constantly in the fact that i do not know everything. the callers last night, the colors this morning --callers this morning are emotionally charged and want to see donald trump strong -- shrunk up and crucify because the media has
11:01 am
integrated their outlook and they want to charge somebody. the bottom line this is election interference. you are seeing the election of 2020. they are about to roll all election interference to lock you down for mail in ballot so they can repeat what happened. c-span thank you so much. wonderful coverage. have a great day. host: thank you for that. former president flying down from new jersey late yesterday for the processing at the fulton county courthouse. took under an hour and then returning to new jersey from atlanta. he had comments to reporters before he left. [video clip] >> thank you very much for being
11:02 am
here. i believe this is a sad day for america. if you challenge an election, you should be able to challenge an election. adult the election was rigged, stolen -- i thought the election was a rigged election, stolen election. yet many people over the years do the same thing whether it is hillary clinton or stacey abrams or others. when you have that greater freedom to challenge, you have to or you will have dishonest elections. what has taken place is a travesty of justice. we did nothing wrong. i did nothing wrong. everybody knows it. what they are doing is election interference and trying to interfere with an election is never been anything like it before. this is their way of campaigning . this is one instance where you have the other assistance, election interference. -- this is one instance. you have three other instances.
11:03 am
this is election interference. we have every single right to challenge an election we think is dishonest. thank you all very much. i will see you soon. >> if elected, would you pardon yourself? host: as we saw from that article in the atlanta journal-constitution, the face of the trial set to get underway october 23 in fulton county. comments on social media. we are entering a new -- of elections. this can happen under one-party to keep someone from running, do not be surprised by the opposite party does it. governors and mayors are next. this type of election indifference will bring on dictatorship. buddha says what i loved is when he was headed back to the jet, he had his window down and the warmhearted people telling him goodbye. michael, all the indictment against president trump will be
11:04 am
dismissed due to racist attorney generals in georgia, new york. that both campaigned on indicting president trump. the siegel grounds for dismissal. pamela says i think it is a disgrace for our country we have to be here because trump could not accept the laws. he conspired to overturn the election. he is always been a criminal. lester on the republican line. caller: hi. i do not understand. we have the biden family that has done wrong. we have a son that does drugs but yet you point trump as as a guilty party.
11:05 am
we have had killing here in oregon every day and i mean a lot of killing. our governor is a democrat and she has tried to turn us americans against each other here. i do not think everybody that runs for a political party that is innocent but people need to do each other a favor and look at what the democrats have done. because racism -- cause racism, and wars between us americans. we should love each other and instead of kill each other. host: mike in tennessee on the
11:06 am
democrats line. what are your thoughts? caller: i am kind of sick of everybody saying the democrats are the problem. the border has been the same way for the last 40 years. democrats are going to be communism. it is amazing. host: any thoughts about the case here in georgia or other cases facing trump? caller: i was born in georgia. i am kind of embarrassed i was even born there. what is going on there politically, i cannot believe it. host: to detroit, independent line, ramsey. welcome to the show. caller: yes. here is a party that is being corrupt since the mccartney days, nixon, reagan.
11:07 am
look at the track record. trump has been to court 60 times. he had his time in court. but because of his personal belief, what he believes in does not mean a damn think. he has been to court and he is still acting ignorant. they are racist. they do not pay taxes. it is pathetic. host: in the national review looking at a political aspects of this, the most recent national review, the headline, indictments, indictments of democrats. the photo of fani willis, the district attorney and he writes, the case is weak. it is not frivolous as indictment of trump by manhattan district attorney alvin bragg for allegedly falsifying company records in connection with hush-money payments's cover up an affair with a porn star.
11:08 am
willis has a case but not the case she's hyping is a multifaceted racketeering enterprise in which trump is pretrade as -- 19 member criminal organization. says the overreach those yet another feature that distinguishes the state legal system from his federal counterparts, electoral politics. money is not just a law enforcement official -- fani willis is not just a law enforcement official, she is an elected democrat. paula on the line in georgia. caller: good morning. i read the indictment. on page 57 you have trump and pence in a room discussing where all of them know it is illegal.
11:09 am

on the republican line. go ahead. caller: thanks. i've heard the previous speakers and some of them make sense, some of them do not. i'm somewhat of a trump supporter. i did not like nafta, nato, ppp, w.h.o. every one of those organizations were ripping us off. i did not like isis. they were chopping off people's head and recording it. obama and bush, together in 16 years could put a dent in those peoples. i do not like the border. our property in southern california. i do not like the way people are coming across the border. with the wall, it is a deterrent. all the professional said it is a deterrent .

for some reason, china is bringing the fentanyl and we do not know who is coming in. came in during covid. it is ridiculous. as far as the election, election night i was in florida. pennsylvania was up 800,000 was at midnight. i wake up 6:00 in the morning and he is down. who collects votes from midnight to six in the morning? i watch 2000 meals and i see these ballot boxes that come in the middle of the night with barrels for ballots. there is a concern about stolen election. it is absurd what is going on here. we have such a divide in this country. everybody against trump. what don't you like about him? host: it sounds like you do not like the processes that have
11:12 am
going there including in pennsylvania. legal process to contest the election that found no evidence of interference and fraud in the election. it sounds like you probably do not believe it. caller: it was never adjudicated. noble went to court on this to show proof. -- no one went to court on this to show the proof. we are such a cook society with politicians -- crooked society with politicians. if it would ever get to court, all the proof i see should be in court looking at this. but nobody made it to court to adjudicate it. how the hell can you say there's nothing wrong here? host: we showed you the moment from the debate the other night of the moderators of the program in the debate asking candidates if they would support the former president were he to be convicted. six of the eight raise their
11:13 am
hands yes. let's go to in, asa hutchinson's and chris christie. [video clip] >> whether or not you believe the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of president of the united states. this is the great thing about this country. booing is allowed to buy does not change the truth -- but it does not change the truth. host: a couple of quick comments via text and social media. sydney, we should hold trump accountable for his actions. if we allow him to get away with this, others will think they can do this again. we must stop the corruption so that it never happens again. i think we should hold hunter biden and trump's family accountable for the corruptions they did with foreign money.

and from gregg, democrats pulling out all stops to prevent trump for beating them again because they cannot do it in free and fair election. bernie sanders is not a fire which is why they did not need the justice department to take him out. arnold in new york on the democrats line. caller: good morning. i'm just amazed of people repeating the same old lies and misconceptions. the d.a.'s and prosecutors would not put their professional careers on the line unless they had all the documents. remember they have tapes on this man. this man allowed himself to be taped. as these people start to flip because he is not paying their lawyer fees, -- they would not bring the cases unless they knew they could win. my mother used to have a saying. some people call so smart, you

11:16 am
it is where the state capital is but there are other counties in georgia. budget those da's not pursue the same charges? fulton county has more money. it is incredible that fani willis had the time to prosecute this case or the resources to do so. we all saw the pictures of the rice street facility there. knowing that joe is under investigation by the department of justice. -- knowing that jail is under investigation by the department of justice. how did this thing come to be to fruition in one county in georgia? i would like somebody to answer and explain that to me. host: one more call from georgia . john on the line, republican caller. caller: yes, thank you.
