♪ ♪ >> while join us tomorrow, it's going to be another snow news they like today. >> work and i have a great radio show. >> have a great day. >> bill: think you guys, good morning 9:00 and got them sitting in an impressive and a moment for the former president donald trump who's about to surrender to authorities and putting new york city on high alert. we're watching it all off all it would take you minute-by-minute and hour by hour as things develop. so here we go. dana has off today and good morning to you partner. >> good morning though. it's a significant day. no doubt about it and martha maccallum and this is "america's newsroom." and we will wait to see midmorning bell is the former

president makes his way from midtown and trump towers you can see that they down to the courthouse we were told he will speak before and after that in some way, shape, or form so they've got security obviously all around all these places and seek a surface is getting ready to drive t the presidents as i said downtown. and he will become the first former president to face criminal charges. >> bill: for the time and for all the how all this goes is not set in stone but this is what we think we know, he will be booked in process. he will be fingerprinted, he will not be handcuffed. anna monk shot s of this hour, this is not back from fourth being debated. at the moment is unlikely mark. >> martha: it seems unnecessary. he's one of the most well-known phases in the entire country, so i think they're going to pass on that it sounds like. the officers will take the former president to a holding room and he will go before a judge for the unsealing of this reported 34 count indictment. and this is where we'll get really interesting is within the

charges, they are believed to be connected to financial recordings. and financial records that were kept about which leisure -- and where payments come from and go. so we will see. if they are felonies or if they are all families we will see. >> bill: no doubt in the history according to republicans they called the arraignment a grand turning point for the american justice system. he was the former congressman out of new york on that. >> is all politics. alvin bragg ran, and even pledge before taking the oath that he was going to be personally supervising this case. we didn't know what the facts are going to be and what he was going to use but he was going to personally supervise this case. individual case after case have new yorkers really upset that they have this prosecutor who seemed to be more of a defensive to anything a district attorney. so, not having consistent law and order prosecutor here isn't something that we ever want to see here in our country.

but, today we will. >> martha: yes, as you said republicans think it's a sad day in joe manchin thought it was a sad day as well for the country. team fox coverage in place here and jonathan on deck with his new go now just. but let's go talk to brian who is at the courthouse in lower manhattan. set the scene up for us there brian? >> martha and bill good morning. so much of what we will see today is highly choreographed and controlled. so i want to give you a look on what it is like to be outside of the manhattan criminal court has this man had a former president stronger arraignment year 2:15 p.m. now once them but a kid arise from the trump tower he will walk into the many actresses here that are being guarded from the nypd and the new york state court police and review contingency could serve as vehicles. you better believe cameras are stationed there all of the entrances. we expect them to surrender to the d.a.'s office in this building on the seventh floor, and he will be processed before being brought to the 15th floor for his 15 to 30 minute hearing.

sources are telling fox that he will face at least 30 charges related to business fraud center around hush money payments. now, if we turn over here we will see media role, and these are tense and hundreds of media that have been here for a couple of weeks now. they were been reporting a what's been the first indictment on the former and president. dennis had the winning wind in the line since 2:30 p.m. yesterday to get a ticket to sit inside the courtroom. including our own producers and yes fox news will be inside of the courtroom. and finally if we turn over this week -- we will see that this is more media here, the media role here in the station here, and now were can i their way to the park, and this is the part where that protest, that pro-trump rally i should say is being planned. you can see the gate on this site is close, but the rally is set for 10:30 a.m. this morning. and this can be headlined by republican congress movement who lives here in the city.

so far, we see mostly police and press. not many people here yet, but again that rally starts at 10:30. mayor eric adam had a message for congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, and those who plan to come to the rally listen to this. >> we have no specific threats like people like marjorie taylor greene, who is known to spread misinformation in hate speech, she stated that she is coming to town while you are in town be on your best behavior. >> judge has ruled no video cameras inside the courtroom, but there will be stillbirth off your first they'll build for several minutes and there's a camera outside the hallway of the courtroom and we will see his truck make some comments in and out of his arraignment martha bill? >> martha: will be watching every minute and brian thank you. >> martha: so my suggestion that the data for felonies involved here is one of the so-called leaks last night was he that if that pans out. if it is a leak we have a

different story here. >> bill: for a week people like you have been saying that they don't know anything until they see the indictment it's all in the indictment. so apparently, we will get that at 215. if it comes before that is an issue. the sum some may have suggested that this has to do with payments about stormy daniels, but what if it's not about that. what if it's about claims that are being made about values of buildings at the former president used to own in new york city if you consider that? >> well yes we have. and granny davis, who represents michael calling said that people are going to be surprised. it's going to be new stuff in this indictment. we will see whether there is other crimes in the other possibility is that the district attorney took every single transaction and needed a separate crime. if that is the case, that he has not really improve this position much. because, many of us believed that the effort to convert this

to the new york misdemeanor into a felony using federal election law violations really is legally flawed. and it may not survive judicial review. so multiplying that flawed theory 34 times, it does not make it 34 times stronger. so, were going to have to see if it something else in his hand. does he have a new crime? they have been discussion instead of having the new crime he might be also including payments for a second woman around that same time. but once again, that is a replication of the same underlying theory. >> martha: we know that david parker wasn't there twice. and he is head of the newspaper company who was overseeing some of these collect the stories and then pay money and get money for. and sit on that story. and carol mcdonagh as the other person that you referred to who was also involved in this kind of transaction. is it relevant?

do you think that he made two appearances david parker? and do you think that might tell us a little something about the larger scope here perhaps? >> it's name. he is most relevant to that second individual. but that occurred around the same time. it has the same step is limitation problems. the new york misdemeanor has a two-year statute of limitations. it is dead than dylan gerard unless you can zap it back into life by saying that it was connected to a felony. but what has been discussed for months is that that felony is a federal crime that was never charged by the department of justice. and there's a good reason for that, i don't think this is a federal election violation. many people don't including people on the commission. so, what we seen this indictment is very, very important. the reason this is such a sad day is that this indictment came about in the most political possible way. if the indictment turns out as we have been discussing for

months -- it is really going to be one of the lowest points for law in new york. i have no problem with indicting of former president -- i don't even have a problem within indicting a sitting president. they have to do it for the right reason. then, it is the vindication of the rule of law. this, this will be the very degradation of the rule of law. if you take something seven years ago a on this really an attenuated legal theory, and you try to back the president of former president. now, but i promise to do that. donald trump is his manifest destiny. he promised folders he will get them on something. and whatever comes out of that gate today -- he better be more than this long debated theory. >> bill: professor, thank you for your time. this particular conversation is just the beginning of numerous ones that we're having today. so thank you jonathan 30 with

that. a couple things were learning right now is that they will be cameras in the courtroom but not doing the particular proceeding. the judges rule is still photographers may be a video camera can come in prior to the exit i'm assuming. there's a camera in the hallway, and i think this takes place on the 15th for burbank et al. is more on that. but based on bryant's reporting on there, there is a lot of cops and a lot of reporters. and i don't see a lot of other people around. >> martha: for what we're learning it seems like teen chumps wants this to be documented. they're letting people understand which entry she's going to be going in at what time and what time to get a hand out tax and he may speak before a may speak after, but i want to go back to what jonathan was saying here. and also jerry baker and a locke street during a house in piece this morning they really close to the heart of the matter. because it doesn't matter if the prosecutor wants to make his political names but getting something. he's made a place to stay one day he wanted to get donald trump.

but you have to have charges that narrate doing this to a former president of the united states. it would have something i think a lot better, if this was brought by someone at the same party perhaps. if it is a serious and a tie crime that they're going after here. and remember the grand jury only heard one side of the story and within a here a lot more to come. >> bill: want the money is in the indictment that's where the story will be, when that happens we will go to it and bring people like charlie back on. and alvin bragg's can i have a press conference after the appearing today. >> martha: and a appearance by president trump as well. so, we are also can it affect reports on the story on the condition of "wall street journal" reporter aaron cursed gurevich. he was detained in russia and spying allegations are one state. a wash persian watchdog said he's a come experience he had handling the situation well. but it's hard to confront this because know it from the new legal team of the u.s. embassy has been able to visit with him. senior foreign affairs are live

in london with the latest on this. good morning to you greg. >> good morning my february is a 31-year-old wraps up his first week of captivity with the russians we are getting some possible sides of his well-being. remember aaron curtiss covid just charged with espionage which he and many other 29. and he faces almost 20 years in jail. and is now in the very tough the voyage of both persian and moscow that are now a russian prison monitoring agency overnight said that they visited having acquainted then he on his own and in a quarantines out. mostly they're safe congress out there saying they said to be conversational and joking. however martha, gets a big singles about this because i've also heard however a member of his legal team could be seeing him as early as today. and back up to give us a better idea of how we use they're also building a spying charge and that's pretty much pro forma but important. the key thing i'm also told us

that washington is pushing to classify the seizure of the reporter as unlawful detention. that could open up new legal and diplomatic avenues to use and seek his freedom. as the pressure in leaders and organizations around the world including nato at the nato headquarters and processed in a foreign ministers are leading away the matter of aaron is said to the race. and that present agency by the way and he said annihilation of the nation's. evan was reading a book about russia. in the era of the top dictator joseph stone. it is his troop is timely. talk to you. >> martha: his parents were born in the soviet union -- and he speaks the language very well. and he's been very comfortable in the country for a long time. and now is being held behind bars. thank you greg very much. and we will have more of what it's like to work in this business as a reporter in

of a functioning of fair judicial system existed in russia before pollutant came into power. he has been pretty lawless. and that's been ever since the fall of the soviet union and the forcefulness the soviet union existed it was a dictatorship. but the problem now is that they have always been free with the espionage statute. to interpret it -- pretty much any way they want. the writing of the statue says that anyone who conveys information and damaging to russia to a foreign power. that can be interpreted to mean anyone who honestly reports on genuine social conditions. and -- under wartime -- in a wartime situation which we have now they're interpreting it anywhere they want they have not announced anyone. in what they consider to be secret. and you got to reimport a coup where erin carriker fitch was

difference in support charter schools. he ran the public schools and he was credited with a lot of the reforms and brandon johnson was a schoolteacher. in his against charter schools and taxes and johnson was a hundred million dollars more in taxes and he doesn't want to raise taxes. and when it comes to pay water bills, he is apparently over $3,000 in the rear and just played it evidently. as far as i know, he stayed on the water uses. >> bill: by all accounts, it's going to be a close election will see how close randy white garnered the teachers union was there and i think he was there yesterday. she was at the podium and she was hot on fire. and that is what is happening chicago -- chino is happening here in new york it was very intimately too familiar with the criminal justice system yourself. 40 think about was having with the former president generally speaking? >> i think this is the apocalypse of our democracy. they are doing to republican president to did to me. i went to present the things

that are not crimes. the charging >> 18 but not crimes. while positive things about the deal with areas that they keep the campaign promises. here's a guy who ran a campaign promise to charge president trump. the other thing you can say about him that he's bowing his oath of office and destroyed the the constitutional rule of law. and if anybody had to be going to prison -- a charge with crimes with this episode and wants to be the d.a. he's weaponize uncontrolled corrupt prosecutors within a destroy democracy steal our freedoms and take from us our right to choose our own leaders and elections. >> bill: a while back, we haven't seen the indictment yet but maybe there's something in that i could mind. is that possible? >> of course it's always possible but my experience informs me deeply that they will not be anything in there that is criminal. this is a private matter with private money and incidentally there's like $50 million in a funding congress and actually pays with money and congressman king of people hush money who said that they harassed or done nothing to them.

the idea they will criminalize this in jim's case and hypocritical politicians are going along with that, my own party selfishly exploited this for political reasons is really disgraceful. because the stakes are high and this isn't about winning elections this is a letter freedom and the rule of law and the constitution in self-government. >> bill: about four hours away from buckling down nice to see you again and i hope you're well and your lot thank you for your whites. >> martha: form a president trump preparing to surrender to authorities. we're waiting for her arrival in manhattan for his arraignment stay with us we will be right back.

truckers at a stop in long beach, california, what he hank kelly hello? >> hello bill. a lot of frustration here because of environmental groups are celebrating this and it's a big lead for climate change. california's governor is sharing this saying that they leading the charge to get trucks and buses the most polluting vehicles nullify our streets and other states and countries are lining up to follow her lead around the world. the critics highlight the many barriers similar to making the switch to an electric car. imagine you drive one for a living. so the first is because, the average price of a traditional semi truck us onto $50,000. in a truck driver is looking at shelling 300,000 to 500,000 an hour. in the current range of an electric semis hundred miles less than magic standard. pray that what they need to stop for much of hours to charge in a severely eats into a driver is allowed on duty time. on top of that big red has proven rather unreliable. during the heat waves residents were asked to avoid charge and

violations really is legally flawed. multiplying that flawed theory 34 times does not make it 34 times stronger. so, we're going to have to see if there is something else in his hand. does he have a new crime? >> bill: further questions now jonathan turning with my very of me last hour talking about a case against a former president. we are waiting for him to leave the new york city residents the trump tower on fifth avenue and head downtown that the couple of miles drive into manhattan for his arraignment on criminal charges. in those charges are so said to be under seal. stemming from an investigation into hush money paid to an adult film star during the run-up to the 2,016 election will receive whether or not that's the case or not. once we find out a bit more later today. dana has a day off she is back in tomorrow. so she sidesteps all of this. and i'm bill good morning and welcome back. >> martha: good morning bill and everybody at home i now martha maccallum. right now as bill said wer
