11:01 pm
with any extradition request. also, greg jarret and alan dershowitz will join us . but first, we have new detailssm from alvin bragg's. repulsive political witch hunt.t according to sources that we have, bragge demanded that sou donald trump turn himself inal today. less thad trn twenty four hourse after the grand jury voted unfairly to indict him. the but because of security concerns, the arraignment won't take place until next week.y tu probably on tuesday afternoon,n. donald trump will be booked.e wb he will be fingerprinted. there will ba e a mumug shot.g the media mob, they will get their so desired mug shot. now, my gut instinct tells me that my friend, my colleague, peter seth, who was on lastg tob time, he's going to be proven correct. that photograph will end up on more t-shirts and more hats that sayn maga and trump 2020 four . it will also appear beforeor judge juan mershon, who by the way, the very same judge who is accused of railroadingth
11:02 pm
the former cfo of the trump organization. now, according to trump,itch the judge assigned to my huntcas case hates me. >> now, at this point, would you expect anything less? i this is not a criminal case. this is a political hatchet job. and by the way, there will bel a no settlement, according to acoo source close to president trump. he plans to fight this. the very end. the first step will most certainly be a motiono to immediately dismiss all ofl the charges on three separate grounds. ch will go over this with our attorneys tonight in the course of the programr , one ,l the faulty legal theory. we don'ttheory know the exact charges, but allegedly what brag bragg is doing is attempting to bootstrap misdemeanor documents, crime to an fec charge that has never been done before. and might not even be legal in and of itself. >> the second thing, trump'sumpa lawyers will likely argue that the case is beyond the statuteci of limitation, which they are. after all, there is a two year
11:03 pm
limit on charges relatedha to mislabeling documentsrges. the third reason forir a dismissal involves prosecutorial misconduct. here you have a d.a. responsible for the charges. his name is alvin bragg. campai he ran on a campaign promise to go after one man, donaldmily the p, one family, the trumpth family, one organization, the trump organization. now, i thinkorganization all of. clearly reeks of don't cal bias, don't you? maybe the end result should be that he gets disbarred as the "new york post" points out, quote, surely the judgeyor" will be asked to consider this question. out.n this case have bee brought against any othert person? of course, the answeagainsany o and in fact, the doj, the fec, the mueller investigation, bragg's predecessor and even invest bragge himself declined to bring these charges until now. to bring t, alvin bragg rarely brings felony charges against anybody in new york ,g o
11:04 pm
even violent offenders, o according to an op ed frompe que jonathan turley. he said , quote, donald trump would have been better off robbing stormy daniels with a gun.have thr bragge would have thrown that ca now. case right out of turley's correct. in fact, under bragg e 50% ofgets every felony case gets reducedo to misdemeanors. and of all the felony cases that bragge actually brings brings to trial he loses 49 percent of the to trial, he loses 49% ofas the time. in other words, he one is one of the worst conviction rates in the entire country. in september, a man named justin washington, he received a sweetheart deal from bragge rtafter allegedly a teenage relative. washington was set to serve 30 days in jail, but before butr that, he was terrorizing five more victims. now takeur a look at your scree here's another sweetheart deal handed out by bragge to the perpetrator o of vicious anti-semitic beating this in midtown manhattan in new york city. bragge also reduce the chargestd for a man who attempted to rob
11:05 pm
the same pharmacy twice in one day. at gunpoint. at knife point. the man. this guy had a lengthy rap more sheet, more than 20 arrests fors , robberyts fou, assault, othe crimes. alvin bragg didn't care at all. all. another case the perso in another case,ghter ha the perpetrator had forty six prior arrests outn on parole. n reducerence agai the charges. and then there's the well, new york resident known as hillary rodham clinton. she has never been charged with a crime, not in new york , not anywhere .dh amdespite despite what is a a mountain of evidence related to a variety of misdeeds.f misd for example, the clinton cli campaign and the dnc, the they committed the exact same crime that donaldexac trum is now accused of . they mislabeled a campaign expense. steele's dirty dossier, the russian bought and paid fori dossie. pens well, they said that was a legal expense, but there were no felony charges, no criminal investigations into clinton. instead, clinton. last year, herrely campaign merely agreed to pay py one hundred and thirteen
11:06 pm
thousand dollar fine. never mind00 that ne thirty three thousand deleted subpoenaed emails. emails those were destroyed, of course, with something we hadblt never heard of before, bletch bit. and then, of course, w then ades ,they were destroyed with hammers. we had sim cards removed c. as well. doesn't thatn' soundt th a littt like obstruction of justice? e to you?s neve she was never charged and herr home was never raided. and keep in mind, the dossier case that we mentioned stems from the very same steel dossier that the clinton campaign delivered to james comey, the fbi in the lead up to the 2016 election. e but remember this, in earlyn bu october, 2016, jim comey, fbis b actually flew across the pond that went to great britain.nd they met with christopher steele and they offered him a millio offered himn. e coul >> if he could corroborate thatt salacious dossier. even t well, even though the steele dossier couldn't be corroborated, he didn't collect his million dollars becaus collect he his allegatiow
11:07 pm
know, were completely b.s. comey in late october use thator very dossier contrary to the unlawful law and unlawfully obtained a fisa warrant to spywarran on the trump campaign, the trump transition team t oand even a trump white hous. a president of the unitedp of te states now the top of the fisa warrant, the words trued verifid and verified are their dossier was neither.ither bu but the fbi used in any way fb to get donald trump. but comey got a free pass. so did hillary clinton. with her classified document scandal, comey said nocome reasonable prosecutor wouldr prt ever prosecute, but now he's cheering fot r brag, tweeting out, quote, it's been a good day yesterday. jim comey is corrupt. he's petty, is a bureaucrat who longs for political vengeance and cares little about what is called the rule of law. or equal justice under the law or equal application of our laws. now, sadly, the current leader of the fbi doesn't seem to be much better. bet christopher, the fbi was in possession of hunterchristop bis
11:08 pm
laptop from since december. 2019. instead of authenticating authet the laptop and investigating a litany of potential crimes recorded on the laptop while the fbi, they told big tech in the lead up to the 20200 presidential race to be on the lookout for russian disinformation relatedle to people like joe biden and hunter biden. ter bidethey knew they had the h and big tech, by the way, mo is more than happy to oblige. and they even got money from in the fbi three and a half cas million dollars in the case of t twitter censoring the hunter. bidewittn laptop story only weey wefore the election. well, yoeks before the eu can ca the column as somebody that believes the fbi knew the laptop was real. they knew it.iuliani an they knew rudy giuliani had i a copy. they knew he would likely the release it before the election. my guess that is the real reason that the fbi was warningu big tech companies to be on the lookout for misinformation on people likeik joe biden and hunter biden.
11:09 pm
now, to datee , hunter is yetwith to be charged with any crimes,s even though there is video evidence of, let's see, hunter biden smoking crack cocaine, hiring, lying on gun yeplications, selling access to the federal government. yet where's that cast e? there's also extensive evidence from the laptop and a separate d senatesepara and house investe showing that the big guy "bi and other members of the biden family might have benefited from hunter's alleged access peddling , tax evasion charges, money laundering chargesharges d and now we know there was a real quid pro quo.e remember donald' s trump, ukraine quid pro quo.qu oh, joe bideo,n is on tape bragging that ukraine won'tt uk get one billion dollars a taxpayer dollars unless they fire a prosecutor in six hours.ecutor ix hours. that prosecutor that prosecutor, well, ended upe getting fired within six hours.a ukraine got your billion dollars, meaning taxpayer billion dollartaxps. and guess what?
11:10 pm
son of a b when he was fired,ir the investigation that the investigator shouldn't that that prosecutor was doing into going intoosecutor w with hunten ended right there and thenhunter and he kept getting checks from very smallholdings. so let's get this straightt thid there is video and digital evidence that hunter biden committed multiple felonies,neve but has never been charged with a crime. his father used your taxpayeril money to protect the family syndicate. syndicate. no indictments. and on the other hand , donaldh trump is getting hit with over thirty charges because of a mislabeled non-disclosur noe agreement over an alleged affair from testthousand and sevenair from t both parties denied based con on testimony from a convicted felon admitted liar by the name of michael cohen, who we allo we know is bent on gettingagainsti revenge against his former boss. does that seem like equal ju justice under the law? equae under thl application of t to you? well, of course it doesn't demo to me, but democrats, they don't seem to care aboutemt justice. they they seemo care to only cal
11:11 pm
about winning elections and destroying any and all political opponents. now, this far fetched case p against trump is not aboutis not keeping new york safe or new yorkers safe .sa it's aboutfe. interfering in24 t the twenty,ion just twenty four election, just like the fbi did in 2020, when, of course, the one hundred laptopll from that they had since december of 2019 just like they did in 2016 with hillary'se dirty dossier, we are now in tring a very, very dangerous new erhia in this country where justice is no longer blind. where judges, juries, days havem become political weapons, wherew we have a dual justice systemh is donald trump' joining us now with the very latest is donald trump'sm long-m attorney friend of the program ,long time friend ofe the program. joe tacopina is with us . the president and ipres actually agree with themiden th you've tried over 100 hundred cases in new york presidents believing and i'm believinge when you have democrats
11:12 pm
outnumbering republicans in new york city nine to one ,ayine he's saying he doesn't he can a get a fair trial. you've tried one hundred casesrk in new york .tter t do you believe he can or wouldce it be better to get a change of venue? look, it would be better to geto a change of venue. and a lot of things that legal will be moving forward in our legal papers. sean paper, for just the sake of fundamental fairness. that being said ness. , you kn, while i understand that the political geographics of new york city, new york county,r new york juries are smartr and they're gritty.nd eve and even if they don't, thenl be i will be sure to remind this io is not a political election. this is the rule of law.w bein t being applied across thisonald country.tr and today it's donald trump. tomorrow d be a could be a democrat the day after your brother or your sister. and we have to be careful abouts saying, oh, he's unpopular. unpe way he acts. i don't like him.very i like the way he acts. lef i'm a i'm a very left wing individual. so i'm never going to vo so i'm never going to vote
11:13 pm
to acquit donald trump. these jurors have to go homeacqe and look themselves in the mirror. this is not a game.lo it's notok at a civil case. il it is not an election. this is the rule of law beingw n applied. g about in we start deciding who we want to target, and then try to find a crime for the rule of law, false. e of >> and in my opinion, yesterday, the rule of law in the united states of americall really felt and it's somethings that i never thought i wouldthoh see in my life.i you, sean, your your dialogs and monologue was amazing. some things we weren'tr actually used some of our papers. >> but, you know but jonathan ,, this piece initially whenpiec i read the headline, i suspects it was funny, but it great grace the gun in new york , except it was a great comment, a great headline, except it's not really funny because it's true. that's wha that's what's happening in new york , new york , our great th city is is is not the safests pc place in the world anymore. anymore. it's a dangerous place. people and that's because people are being littleford slapset the on the wrist for violent crimes. but yeah, they putt th the forcf
11:14 pm
their entire office into this case. >>e in three years they'vea investigated. this is what they come up with , a non crimee that they're trying to criminalize on a federal statute that theyd. early don't understan ste the fec has come back and said there was no offense here. there's no violation, not evence close short of campaign finance laws. and on e day they're going >> lave to answer for this charging decision. >> all right. thert me ask you this.s. and there are a number of legal grounds. a motio you're going to make a motion,rn i think, for a change of venue.h other motions to dismiss. i would, you know, walk us through the three that i've been focusing on . on. you would argue that it's basedl upon what i would call faulty legal theory. theory bragg i bragg is arguing that, you know, a mere misrepresent when you misrepresent something on a government document, in other words, recording a payment o dof money as a legal expense,hich which, by the way, as iby mentioned, hillary clinton didyf herself is by itself criminalant and that it becomes a felony
11:15 pm
simply because the purpose maye have been to violate a federal ,not a state campaign statute.an that's never happened before.rgs i'm sure you're going to argue that the charges b are barred ls by the statute of limitations. and i think you will also argue and seek a dismissal based upon the argument of prosecutorial misconduct. e and selective prosecution,tive because this guy ran on going pr after one man, one companyy on and one family. e wher and i'm going to ask them to show me another case where this has never been done because it's never been done. done becs and by the way, when said something that actually was was not accurate, some and it'syou sa actually something that's really important in this case. you said filing the governmentin document. that's the point.. nothing was filed here. had donald trump tried to assert a tax deduction or take a tax deduction for the way, you're right. >> i am right inction. your correction. >> i agree with you. i agrei stated. but it's important, right?a
11:16 pm
think about this. very important. the there was a documenty're they're saying were falserecorde business records. they're his own personaly're his records. first of all, they weren'tga false. they were, in fact, legal feesl. and that's how they were built.e but putting that aside, assuming they were false, assuming they said purchase of 10 gallons of ice cream. right. because joe biden likes ice. i think so.because jo assuming they said that it's still not a false business record as a crime because there's no filing obligation. seans . there was no tax deduction asserted. th they didn't go to the irs and seek a taxey document that they d would have been problematic. conversely, they didn't file this with the fes withc because' they didn't have to . this was not a campaign exclusive campaign expenditure. this was something that wouldais have been made irrespective of the campaign. so there was no filing made. hs so where is it? in hlse business record in his own records and his own is ownpersonal files? that's the key point here. and had he used campaign fundsat on how to pay for it, because u they're saying now this was something that should have gone under the fec and this was a campaign finance violation? well, had he use campaign
11:17 pm
funds, they would be baying for his scalp tonight. b there would be begging for his scalp, saying he improperly used campaign funds on a personal expenditure. so you're if you do and if you don't fauci donald trump here, which is why, you know, dn this prosecution is rotten'tt te to the core. cor it's politically motivated and it is the weaponization of our criminal system that's in i full effect.in and now you're starting to see n prosecution. right. all right.prosecut this is why i said the otherapp night the pendulum will swing we back . it's going to happen. we fr this is where we're going now. so from now on , the justice system will be used by whoever's in office, whether it's a republican prosecutor or democratic prosecutor. off publicanto have aftering back t political opponents. terrific. politicae harkening back to th days of communist china, the soviet union, nazi germanyk, all the places the united china states of america loathed and despised and our justice system never emulated. well, here we are. >> >> okay, so on tuesday, the president will be arraignedu . we expect a mug shot. we expect the presidentt will have his fingerprints. we expect what is he going
11:18 pm
to be perp walk?s? are is he going to be in handcuffs?n are they going to try and say, he can't have bail? that i >> i don't think anything dramatic like that's going to happen becaus e even if they try to , that would further solidify the notion that he is being so selectively targeted and treated differently to anyonselective in the world. i mean, you could go smack a police officer in times square, right now, knock himout out. you'll be out on bail.hu you get bail. no problem.l ben are they going to bail on a misdemeanor based on his name? >> they don't have the last name out, of course, o thaty knw they last name.s but here's the thing. happen tu we don't really know what's going to happen tuesday. esda s pabecause logistically, this r never happened before. we have the secret service involved in anvice arraignment. ha >> when have you seen that before? never. and yo?ver. u have not worked out all these details yet as of this point. >> we they are not worked out yet. no >> we have some ideas, butthing, nothing's worked out yet. >> all right. t joe tacopina, thank you. w we'll be checking in with you next week.
11:19 pm

11:20 pm
it's not just to prosecute donald trump. it is to persecute donald trump. because you said it froment an the moment an outsider daredor come down that escalator in wiump towe andr and announce hes running for president without the help of the lobbyist of s, p without the help of the speciale interest groups and the establishment. hest group establishm became their enemy nr one . and they are petrified that donald trump is going to end up back in that white house. e peoe and instead of letting the people of this country coun vote and actually decide on it y ,they decided to take matters into their own hands. matters into their own hands we obviously crossed a linein yesterday in the united fro states of america, and we can never come back from that.ve things will never be the same as they have been sinceg the inception of america. starting yesterday, you and joe were just talking about it.th it is so dangerous, the precedent that was set heref and it is all over a hatred of u one man. if you can weaponizesgainst
11:21 pm
the united states judicial system against your political opponent , we are no better than communist china than cuba. then communist russia, thene north korea. quite frankly, and i got to say, alvin bragg, sean ought to be ashamed of himself. s i left new has no shame becausee it is it is so bad there whenun he is letting criminals run dowo free, downgrading felonies to misdemeanors. and this is where the taxpayeri money in new york city is goingi . it is ant's an absolute disgrac. >> so my friend, my colleagueage i mentioned in the monologue, t pete hegseth, on last night,e lh you talked about what the leftg has wanted for so long,. and that is a mug shot. tha morehe predicted that that mug shot is going to be more hats, more t shirts than anyone will ever imagine. and i believe you're probably going to seere proba s maybe o of, say, maga. and maybe it's also going and to say trump 2020 four . and that will be the mug shot. m but that will be used. will th
11:22 pm
will that backfire? will that boomerang in>> i thi your view? >> i think all of this will backfire. inre.here's what i can tell you. in the twenty four hours post indictment, the trump campaign raised four million dollars. e a quarter of the donors were t first time donors to the trump campaign. it at t, sean, people look this and they see it veryvery clearly. sae veryd despeople ar smart and very savvy. and despite what the democratssm in the mainstream media have tried to do by poisoning all ofi us , they see this for what it is and they that there is onewhi person who will actually go into that white house and fight for the american people. there's one person who was able to expose the swamp. s name trump an one man and his name is donald trump. d theyand they can try anythingt they want. h their goal is to get him to drop ouim to t ant. their goal is to get himt no to stop. t th i can guarantee righatt here,ll right now, tonight, that day o will never come. he he will move on wil. a he will go forward. h >> i predict he'll be our forty seven president. you know, i will tell you, if

11:26 pm
whatever comes his way, because i think he trulythink het knowe is just about the only person who can turn this countryk to back around, who can bring us back to the great americae gr that we once were. but, yes, it gets frustrating.,u yes, it gets tiresome. but but for all of us in o our family, i can't tell youplee when people come up to usto u and say, we're praying for you ,we're praying for your family, your father in law, nothing means you more to s we feel it. we f i think everyone in this every country feels this is not justan about republican versus democrat. this is about good versus evil. there is spiritual warfare going on in america right now. i got to tell you, there is one man up above who is leading allu of us , and that's who we're looking to . a so whenever it gets tougndh, we think about this country, wethin think about what we're fighting for and we continue on . we'll agree on that point. god is in charge, that's for god sure. lara trump, great to see you. yu >> thank you for being with us. all right. we have a fox news alert. at you're looking live right now at mar-a-lago ino in palm beachl

florida, where we are now, keeping an eye out for anyy movement from the former president . nothing so of th far tonight but our cameras, they will remain in the area. and , of course, we do know the former president's plans to return to new york in comingn days. now, of course, alvin bragg's indictment of donald trump is so blatantly political thatso even the department of justice, they are now worriedtical te the went too far , reportedly nowrig fearing that he may ruin their own trump witch hunt with their bogus charges.r bogu but some of the other hosts over at msg, dnc, well, including america's number one psycho conspiracy theorist and flat out russia collusion hoax liar rachel maddow had pretty harsh words for anyone speaking out against bragst abuse of power, particularly florida governor ron desantis. >> take a look. >> this is a statement without dignity. the governor of florid aa does not know the facts, so he cannot talk about questionable facts in this case. isquestionabhe doesn't know the.
11:28 pm
only the grand jury knows.dictm and this is a sealed indictment. so he's makinghe's makin a statt about something he doesn't know the answer to and throwing out, as you said , andrew . dog whistles you know, historically, this meme, this idea among the right that african-americans, that black folks who are in positions are controlled by some jewish overseer who's pulling their strings. >> that's what that statement reads like, saying that the legal process for i extraditing somebody from one state to another is something that will not some be followed, that could break us , if anything is the first proverbial shot at fort sumter today. that shot was fired not attender by donalryd trump, but by ron desantis. >> all right. here now >>, the author here , centur the upcoming book, trial ofx the century fox news legal lehmn analyst greg jarrett and thene author of the new best selling book, get trump. how appropriate. harvard law professor
11:29 pm
alan dershowitz is with us . let me go through the grounds that i discussed with joe tacopina. professor, let me start with you tonight, that they will argue that this argue is all based on a faulty legal theory. greg jarrett has made that case many times on this programl and that, in fact, this has never been done before. secondly, will argue about. the statute of limitations. thirdly, seco they will argue, mostnd importantly, perhaps, that o they will seek a dismissale argu based on the argument ofmentf pa prosecutorial misconduct and selective prosecution. those are arguments that youi t have made. the i think all three of them are strong.e and i think there's a strong str oncase that you should havege o a change of venue, because i don't think new york is going to be fair to donald trump.>> ti >> that's right.t i wa president we get to that, i want to mention that president trump called me a couple of days ago to thankay me for writing at trump and tell everybody to read it.r and in the conversation, hetrum said , i know you like to say
11:30 pm
you vote for me. i suspect you actually did. but in that conversation, hee fo asked me for advice. and i said one piece of advice. for you buy stock in a t shirtto company that can put your mug shot on as a logo. >> and that t-shirt and any wil shirt or any logo since franke r sinatra's mug shot. so i have a little bit of credit . >> oh, you want to take it away from pete hegseth. i'm going to let you to battle. that out. >> that's fine.hink but i think yo you wilu will agg with me that when they gett a mug shot, that there will t shirts and hats and it a will probably say trumndp twenty , twenty four . >> and on the back it's going to say maga, there's no doubt about that. >> he will use this to hisadvano advantage. lookt it, i think you got itdon' absolutely right what the grounds will be. but i don't think yove the oru haver will the order. correct. i think the order will be firsa a dismissal in the statute of limitations. that's a jurisdictional issue. beeand that's an appealable ise if he loses.loses. second, it will be a motion for

a change of venue. again, appealable if he loses the last arguments, the muchharo harder ones to make and thnee ones that are not appealable g are dismissal on the grounds of selective prosecution, groundsa a dismissal on the grounds that the statut e does not actually cover this conduct, that you can't stretch stretch these l two statutes. so i think good lawyers and these are good lawyersawyers will first make motions that ifb they lose or appealable so after they can take them right upt to the court of appeals and get court of appeals to throw the entire thing out, whichout,h i think there's a substantial chance will occur. >> greg, let me ask you abouttin the motion to dismiss. let me ask you aboute of the statute of limitations, ct prosecutorial misconduct, selective prosecutio n, and my original argument that i made fa that in fact, you have made in numerous columns now that this is the first time anybody's even attempted to make a charge
11:32 pm
this way in this particular case, using a state law and then marrying it to ang i federal law election law. >> yeah, i you know, i wrotehing focolumn outlining all of those things on fox this morning. >> morning and i agree with the i th professor. ink thi think the biggest hurdls will be the statute of limitations, which bars going o forward with this case in termsv of selective prosecution. point. >> it's an interesting point. it's usually usually a defense the trial, but it's note on the merit of the charges but a defense on the merit of the charges, but rather it's an effort by the defendant to shift focus on the prosecution and their motivations.r >> and , you motie wevati all recognize what the motivations any sentient person is of alvin bragg because he madef them abundantly clear when he cl ran for office, he vowed that ar
11:33 pm
he was going to go after trump v with a vengeance and prosecute y . >> and kee whop in mind, this ws a guy who had no access to the files. >> he had no knowledge of any of the relevant evidence, and yet he prejudged the case and preordained the outcome, especially with respect to a pr grand jury. >> thee-ordained the outn what g his convoluted legal theory? by contorting the law and twisting the facts and i do twis think, as i wrote in my column i ,that thernk ae will be severals motions. one of them will beve thaton the law simply doesn't support si the charge. >> and undermply view of the fa, does it support the law? o and so i think that will bek one of many motions thats file will be filed.d and if >> and if in a perfect nerld with an honest, objective, neutral, fair judge, i this judge has to look at those motions quite seriously because no trial court judge
11:34 pm
wants to be overturned, embarrassing only on appeal. >> let me ask you both about governor desantis saying, number one , this is an americanthis i, but also profess he's saying that he will not help with extradition. >> i think he made the right call. i was glad that he did that.heye i know that they've been kind battling a little bit. maybe this might bring mig a little harmony between them.t we'll see. buwat i thoughs t thatthe was b goe right call by the governor . and i'm glad he made and i'm glad he made it.s >> it's a hard argument to maker against extradition becauseonal there are constitutional t of provisions for extradition. it's a moot, of course, becausei the president, the president trump voluntarildey will go. aa but i think the key argument here, again, has to be trump would never, ever have been prosecuted for any of this, no matter what the indictment says. we don't know what's in the indictment. if -- he weren't president tru,
11:35 pm
who is running to ber what president again, the title of my book at trump is not original with me. i'm not original title maker. it was the campaign pledge of it letitia james , the attorney general and the district ran attorney . o they ran on that campaign. it is unethical, in my view,or a prr a prosecutor to run, to run on a campaign promise to get evmebody before they know the evidence. even the bible sayshe b ibletoto prosecutors, do not not recognize faces, do not focus c. on people and then find the crimes. that's whathat's what stalin di that's what dictators do all over the world. you look to the crime. there's a crime. a crime is occurring right in front of bragg.jury. there are leaks in the grand jury. that's a five year felon felony is he investigating it? i don't know. he doesn't seem to be here. crie there's crime. we have to know who committed it. and brag is we do anything about it.g is saying i' instead of saying, i'm goingg to to find something against
11:36 pm
trump, and even if i don't find it, i'm going to create it. and that's what he did.k would e he took two seconds, mr. statute. that is utterly inapplicableut because what it basically saysto is everybody who pays money for hush money has to then disclose . nobody has ever done tha t in history and nobody's ever been indicted for not doing it.t th and then marrying intodera a federal state. this is the worst abuse of prosecute discretion i've seen in my 60 years of practice. i'v seencriminal law.law. maybe the indictment will show something that i don'te indict w about now apologize. but based on everything i know,h this is the worst example ofcutl prosecutorial abuse. right. abuse. the conspiracy theorist greg over at msnbc,e cy mentioned the head, among them, rachel maddow, joy reidg them actually said they seem to be wanting to focusl on the extradition issue. and joy reid said they se governor of floridem ta does not know the facts, so he can't govo talk about the questionable facts in this case that he
11:37 pm
doesn't know them. f only the grand jury knows them. the it is a sealed indictment and then lashed out at desantis saying that, quote, this idea among the right that african-american americans ,s in that black folks who are in positions are controlled oversear by some jewish overseer who is pulling their strings. read that's what that statement reads like. okay, can you decipher that for me? >> because that sounds nuts.nuts >> no, you can't no, no. >> you can't make sense out of non's, sean. it's it's no surprise joy reads unintelligible comments. >> she's consistently obtuse. >> she sees everything that obt happens in the world through the myopic lens of racism. she has become an inveterate race baiter. but that is the kind of garbage that she spews and others consistently over at msnbc, only to be outdone by the
11:38 pm
idiocy of the hoststh on the view, who , when news of the indictment was revealed, a they acted like giddy kids in a candy store salivating over a potential mug shot of ofay, donald trump. >> and by the way, t as toa the extradition, it's a non-issue here. herep is doing the right thing . for >> he's a fighter. he sees this case for what it is incredibly weak and a non crime. non-cr >> and he is going to face itt head on with his legal team and he's going to fight it. and you've got to give him the courage to go instead of runnin runningg and hiding. great tony fauci.roll i got to roll. thank you both, as always.g up a lot more coming up on this't l busy friday news night.themse the left, they can't hellvp themselves wait to hear and seee bizarre reactions to the trump indictment. we'll check in with tulsi gabbard. she reacts when we come back . i can't believe this is how you

11:53 pm
because i always thought thatn e president and ron desantis were friends. starteyou knowe , then the back and forth started going started happening. but i like the fact that will be the scientists took this position. mayb bdge that'll be a bridge and they'll get back together. i hope so. but it was the right call on his part and a gutsy call. your reaction? well, it wasn't everyconserva conservative, every republican . and frankly, many democrattis a supporting president trump because they can see throughthe yes, it wa what's happening.r wh yes, it was great forhere i the governor, our governor, who's here in my homebe town tonight to be supporting president trump just like everiy the conservative. but thank goodnessn issu the extradition issue is moot.t that the would only apply of that would only apply, ofp were course, if president trump was in jail. on no bond, like a murderer. wov and florida would have to agreem through an extradition treaty iu to send him in custody. new to new york. so that's going to be no a non-issue. thank goodnessn-issue. forp andh
11:54 pm
president trump and thank goodness for our country. >> let's get your take. travisness sean, first of all, o a really interesting and goodn interview that you did with the president down at mar-a-lago. and i'll second what h i'le sai. i think you could get electedou more than dogcatcher if youo decided to runru. o me her but you know what jumps out to me here, sean, is got to call democrats on this. if you truly believed that donald trump was hitler incarnate, would you decide to do something that makes him more likely to get se likely to get him the republican the republican nomination to run against joe biden? what they are arguing heres trum is trump is uniquely dangerous to our democracy. uniquely dangerous to democracy, more than anyone more so than anyone ever affiliated with the presidency. simult hundred and fortyth year. and simultaneously, they have to recognize that when they charge him, they are uplifting him to make ite it he the nominee. more likely that he is going to be the nominee. ul and be careful what you wish for. for, because everyone because everyone remembers in 2 2016 democrats were ecstaticpubn that they got donald trump
11:55 pm
what as the republican nominee and what did he do? he he wen wt out and he kicked hillary clinton's and joe biden's not going to bet able to run a weekend at bernie's part to campaigne because covid is gone now. they can't hide him in hiside basement. hithis guy can barely walk upar and down the stairs. and you think he's goingwa to stand on a stage after four years of incompetence on everya ur single level and be able to beat donald trump orld o any republican nominee head to head in a debate?i don't th i don't think soin.k th i think that democrats are in trouble and what they are doing is lifting up donald trump him and uniting everybody behind him right now. right noand they are creating a colossus that i believe is going to sweep right, by the way. and as much celebratiop n us. as there was. can you imagin was, can youends up getting elected in twenty , twenty four , the rending of garments is going to be epic.? i can't wait. the all right. now, you have not sent pam bondi the let's go brand and t >>irts that you sent me. but she needs one . she needs. well, i think that's a big thing. t let's , right?
