country enough to say what you just said? >> i don't think so. i think some people like joe manchin have spoken out. there's no democratic party any more. it doesn't exist. it's not even a progressive party. it's a woke revolutionary movement. it has no popular support. throughout history such movements didn't need it. >> tucker: thank you so much. we'll be back tomorrow. here's sean. >> we begin with this fox news alert. manhattan da alvin bragg and his far left backers are up ending the rule of law in our country. they are weaponizing justice in our country over what is one of the weakest cases ever brought before a court. coming up full reaction, analysis with joe tacopina, bill hemmer, jonathan turturley, eri

trump. president trump wrapped up his speech. the president pointed out a history, all the unfairness, unprecedented, frankly, that he's faced since coming down that escalator. no one man has ever been subjected to anything like this in the history of the country. the media clueded to destroy him from day one. the president laid out what he did successfully as president. it was a powerful case. he all laid out that this is a nation in decline. five presidents could not mess the country up more than joe biden. also talked about investigations that never seem to go away the entire time since he came down that escalator. take a look. >> i never thought anything like this could happen in america. never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who

seek to destroy it. [ applause ] now this massive election interference on a scale never seen before in our country, beginning with the radical left george soros backed prosecutor, alvin bragg of new york. who campaigned on the fact that he would get president trump. i'm gonna get him. this is a guy campaigning. want to get president trump at any cost, before he knew anything about me. didn't know a thing about me. he was campaigning. virtually everybody that has looked at this case including even hard core democrats say there is no crime and that it should never have been brought. never have been brought. >> let us be very clear. today alvin bragg charged donald

trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying documents surrounding legal nda's from 2016. now, per new york state code, these are usually misdemeanor crimes. five years past the statue of limitations. but through a novel legal theory never tried, alvin bragg is attempting to elevate the expired misdemeanors to felonies to try to prove intent to commit another crime, an election crime, believed to be, that is likely also past the statute of limitations. outside of his perview. the fbi and doj said there was never a crime. they never indicted the president. here's the kicker. alvin bragg won't even specify what those other crimes are in the indictment. why on earth wouldn't the da need to have to prove these

phantom crimes, or at least identify what they are? this sounds insane. it sounds like a banana republic. they are bogus charges and, yes, another witch hunt. to make matters worse the bulk of bragg's charges depend on testimony from that guy, who is an ex-con, convicted liar, admitted liar and felon, michael cohen. here's cohen's former legal adviser bob costello. he's not a convict. he's not an admitted liar. and guess what? i think he's going to be a powerful counter to the alvin bragg star witness that would be michael cohen. you decide. what do you have on donald trump? that's when he started with the same litany he used for the rest of the two hours. i swear to god, bob, i don't have anything on donald trump. when somebody is really thinking of committing suicide and you are offering them a legal way

out of this. if he had any information about donald trump, that would have been one time, even for a serial liar like michael cohen, to fess up and say, i know this or that, because i want to save my own hide. he didn't do that. michael cohen, who i said before, was pacing back and forth, would suddenly stop in whatever he was talking about, stop and.his finger at us and say, i want you guys to understand, i will do whatever the f i have to do. i will never spend a day in jail. he said that at least 10 to 20 times during that two hour period. it was a bizarre mantra, but it made us clear to us that michael cohen was saying,ly clear, cheat, steal, shoot someone. i will never spend a day in jail. >> pay attention to what he said. do you have anything on michael cohen? i have nothing, bob. i have nothing. i'm never going to jail.

he said he's suicidal and i'll do whatever it takes to not go to jail. not only did costello destroy the credibility of michael cohen, but cohen contra dicked it. i'll ask joe tacopina about it. in a private transaction in 2016 i used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to miss stephanie clifford, aka stormy daniels. neither the trump organization or trump campaign was a party to the transaction. the payment was lawful and was not a campaign contribution or campaign expenditure by anyone. now cohen's attorney echoed those very same remarks in a letter to the sec. february of 2018, keep that date in your mind, in a private transaction in 2016 before the

u.s. presidential election, mr. cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to miss stephanie clifford. neither the trump campaign was a party to the transaction. notice the date. 2018, february. alvin bragg refers to payments from 2017. again, this is a pathetically weak case, based on an ex-con and admitted liar, and everyone knows it, maybe except alvin bragg. a grand jury, they can indict a ham sandwich. alvin bragg has one of the lowest conviction rates in the entire country, hovering at an embarrassing 50%. that's for felony cases. 52% of all felonies, they are downgraded to misdemeanors under bragg. president trump gets the distinction of getting accused of a misdemeanor that they are

raising to 34 felonies. mysteriously, it went the other way with president trump and the former president's charges were upgraded, multiplied through what is a risky and very complicated legal maneuver. i don't believe they will be successful. however, there's so many legal issues out there, it makes you wonder. does this ever stop? while violent offenders are walking all over the streets of new york. president trump can serve, what, 134 years according to one report in prison for allegedly mislabeling a few documents? according to alvin bragg this is more than warranted because document crimes are so, so important. this is what he said today. >> true and accurate business records are important everywhere, to be sure. they are all the more important in manhattan, the financial center of the world. that is why we have a history in the manhattan's da office of

enforcing white collar crimes. >> sure. he lets rapists, drug dealers out of jail with a slap on the wrist, no bail. those victimless document crimes, that's serious stuff. why lie, alvin? why don't you just be honest about your intentions? we know what's happening. bragg is just fulfilling his own campaign promise to go after one man. that's former president trump. one organization, the trump organization. one family, the trump family. on the campaign trail he boasted about suing trump 100 times, patted himself on the back for investigating trump, trump's children. he ran as the self-proclaimed self-expert. the focus of his campaign was not making new york a safer place. it was getting donald trump. watch. >> i know a lot of people are wondering who ever has this job, are they going to convict donald

trump? look, that is the number one issue -- >> the times calls bragg a t talent prosecutor. >> chief deputy attorney general of new york state, i oversaw some of the office's biggest cases, from exposing illegal behavior by the trump foundation. we know there's a trump investigation. i have investigated trump and his children and held them accountable. i also sued the trump administration more than 100 times. we know the da investigating trump when i was in the ad's office i sued trump over 100 times and brought a case against the trump foundation and held him accountable. >> we have a da doing this, an attorney general doing this in the state of new york, going after one person, one family, one organization. in a fair jurisdiction, that

would be thrown out because of what is called prosecutorial misconduct. this is manhattan where 90% hate donald trump. don't expect the judge to change the venue. this particular judge likely hates donald trump like everyone else in new york. he was very heavy handed with the former cfo of the trump organization who is on reichers island over minor tax violation. in other words, this won't be a fair trial. sadly, this is probably just the beginning. this will be a long tsunami of looming charges against trump right in the middle of far left jurisdictions. if you're a conservative, three places you probably don't want to be involved legally, new york city, washington, d.c. and fulton county, georgia. guess what three jurisdictions donald trump will be dealing with? all add to that a frivolous suit

from a woman alleging some type of second wall assault from the 1990s. she doesn't remember the exact year but she's claiming she was a victim of a sexual assault in a changing room at a huge department store around, somewhere around 27 years ago, but she doesn't quite number. in act o coordination with activist judges, prosecutors, democrats, i think the president is right. this is their attempt to distract completely one candidate from the 2024 election. is that intertpaoerpb? you decide. using the courts as a political weapon? that's novel. in doing so, trying literally turning the country into a banana republic. hunter biden can reportedly take money and make deals with china, russia and ukraine? how much money did the biden family make with russia? how much money did hunter actually make in ukraine? what about the dozen countries

that james comer's been talking about? out of the business deals they made, how much money did they themselves take? did they pay taxes? did they always cut out 10% for the big guy or, as hunter complained on his lap top, he pays half his income to pops. has anyone faced consequences? your fbi has had that lap top from hell since december of 2019. does that sound like equal justice and application of our laws in america? a country where jim comey is o as an fbi director can take a fisa application where it says on the top verified, sign his name to it and not only was the information not unverified, it was unverifiable. he signed it three separate times. wouldn't that be committing fraud against the court, lying to a judge resulted in spying on an american presidential candidate and president. no consequences at all whatsoever. we live in a country where

hillary clinton can mishandle top secret classified information and wipe the evidence clean with something called bleach bit. something none of us have heard. and never see the inside of a courtroom. no reasonable prosecutor would ever prosecute, according to c comey. comey exposed himself. if you are a republican, conservative or your last name is trump and you so much spit on the sidewalk you better brace yourself because the strong arm of the law is coming for you. it's sad to say but there's not justice in america tonight as it should be. we don't have equal justice. we don't have equal application of our laws. when you don't have both, you better take the constitution and shred it because every law is based on that one important documentwhen you have a fair trial with a jury of your peers or are you going to have to go

into a venue where people don't like your political leanings. do you believe in free speech, free and fair elections? as we speak democrats are spitting on our constitution for cheap political gain. mark my words, if they get away with it, this great country that we love, that so many people fought, bled and died for as the great america republic, will never be the same again. here with reaction former president trump's lawyer joe tacopina is with us. let me go through this indictment with you. all 34 counts are pretty much the same with the exception of where the funds come from. for example, a look at the first count, grand jury new york accuses the defendant of a crime of falsifying business records in the first degree in violation of penal 175.10 committed as follows. then it says defendant in the

county of new york an elsewhere on or about february 14, 2017 with intent to defraud and intent to commit other crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise to wit an invoice from michael cohen. that's where it gets different. can you explain what intent to defraud, intent to commit another crime? to aid and conceal the commission thereof. do you know what the hell they're talking about here? >> normally the indictment clears it up. here it doesn't. it simply says there's a false business record, as you cited properly, or the attempt or intend to defraud or aid and abet the commission of a crime or cover up another crime.

the first count is a misdemeanor about that other language. it's a misdemeanor. obviously they can't bring a misdemeanor account. the statute of limitations is gone. so they put it to a felony. the problem is, let's guess. there's no legal requirement for them to do it, but it's standard operating procedure to do it. they must be talking about federal campaign election laws because that's what it was, a federal campaign. it is clearly not a crime under laws to settle a civil case, resolve that civil case with personal funds and then not notify is sbc. the rule is if that payment would have been made irrespective of the campaign, which here it clearly would have.

that's why it was made with personal funds. there is no obligation. that's what the sec chairman said. this indictment was a disappointment in one regard. in another regard it was a relief. i just don't know how that square peg fits into that round hole. i saw alvin bragg in that commercial. i assure you will be part of our motion to dismit. we will cite that commercial. when he's asked about going after donald trump. the question was not even a question. are you going to convict donald trump? before we get to the conviction, we have to get to the charges. but we went right to the conviction. he said that's priority, or issue number one. really? you had no access to evidence. >> let me go through this indictment. when they reference the payments, they're all in 2017. am i reading that correctly, all 34 charges?

i am correct on that. >> correct. >> i have this letter -- in other words the payments they are alleging took place in 2017. this is michael cohen's letter. he's saying in february of 2018 that none of these things happened. their star witness now, is he going to defend his own lawyer's words? did his lawyer lie? did michael cohen lie? i know he's an admitted serial liar. i know he's a convict. do those dates match up to you? they're saying the money was paid in 2017 and michael cohen's attorney saying right here nothing at all happened by 2018. can you help me with that? >> no, i can't. what i can tep you with is none of it matters. michael cohen is incapable of telling the truth.

every day he switches the story. he just said four days ago when he plead guilty in federal court, now he's a new man, has a new lawyer, going anti-trump instead of pro trump. all the things he swore to are not true. when he plead guilty in federal court he said he was forced to plead guilty to protect his family. so then he committed perjury. let's act that felony to the litany of criminal charges with michael cohen. i can't help you with it. here's the kicker. it doesn't matter. even if michael cohen were telling the truth -- even a broken clock is right twice a day. there is no violation. there was no reporting obligation. when we talk about selective prosecution, sean, this is very important.

most reporting violations of campaign finance law are almost never prosecuted as felonies. you want a great example. hillary clinton just recently her campaign was given a fine for the campaign that donald trump is now indicted for for the sealed dossier payments. those were payments for dirt digging. that falls squarely within campaign finance laws. the only purpose for the payments was to get the dossier on the fake trump russia stuff that donald trump proved to be a hoax. all of that does done with campaign funds, exclusively for the campaign. yet, yet do you know what hillary clinton marked those monies for? legal fees. legal fees. that's a lie. and she was fined. she was fined.

and he is indictmented for a personal expenditure. >> based on the fact alvin bragg ran to go after donald trump and he made that a campaign promise. would that be a motion possibility for recusal? are you going to put forth a motion for change of venue? are you going to put forward a motion about prosecutorial misconduct? last question. >> yes, we're going to put forth all sorts of motion. we just got the indictment today. we are getting some discovery. we have four months to make motions. a motion to dismiss is coming on several grounds. selective prosecution. we have a clear case of selective prosecution. >> statute of limitations.

>> if he were not donald trump, he would not be prosecuted. there's a whole host of motions that will be levied here. this case won't see a jury, in my opinion. >> all right. joe tacopina. following his arraignment donald trump left new york. look at this video. people lining the streets, showing support for the future president. we'll run the whole video provided by trump social media. that is a pretty impressive statement. here with reaction, we call him the great one, mark levin is with us. great one, how are you. you have a great mind. you are chief of staff to donald reagan's attorney general. you know a lot about the law. let's get your take on the law

specifically in this case and this indictment. >> i want to say on top of everything else there has to be an underlying crime. right, sean? people are saying what is it? what under lying crime did donald trump commit? he wasn't charged with any underlying crime. he wasn't charged with federal election violations, even though that's not the jurisdiction of the da. i want to get into something here. donald trump is a historic figure or they wouldn't be doing this. there wouldn't have been a january 6 committee, a mueller criminal investigation. there wouldn't have been a warrant which is inexcusable, an fbi swat team sent to his home. there have been in the courts the last few months five grand juries controlled by democrats.

over what? you would have thought this man took money from the communityist chinese. you would have thought his son took money from the chinese. you would have thought -- what exactly did he do? they had to concoct all these phoney crimes because he didn't do anything. the manhattan da should be disbarred, not only because of the way he campaigned. do you know what? this is crap a prelaw student shouldn't even put in front of a damn judge. number two, letecia james in albany looking for crimes and then goes after civil suits. she's another one who should be disbarred for the way she campaigned. the legal profession is an embarrassment. judges are a humiliation. they need to get their ass in gear and get this country back instead of giving a rubber stamp to all this behavior. that's number one. we have a democratic attorney general in new york a democratic da in manhattan, democratic

appointed by the democratic attorney general for the biden administration in washington, d.c. what's going on here? this party wants to change the supreme court, the senate, they want to eliminate the filibuster rule, eliminate the electoral college. they are attacking the first amendment. they want to get rid of the second amendment. do you know what this is? tyranny. donald trump is a historical figure. do you think if he was mitt romney they would give a damn? no. look at trump today. he gives his speech at mar-a-lago. this is a man committed to fighting these marxists, to fighting the tyranny. he talks about securing the border. they don't want to secure the border. he talks about sound money. they don't want sound money. he talks about building up the military. they want a woke military. he backs the cops.

they hate the cops. i could go on and on. look what he did to our economy! look what he did with energy independence. he was supposed to be barack obama's third term with hillary clinton and he stopped them. this is pay back. they're not gonna give up. we, the american people, need to stand behind this guy. there's not another republican that i can think of who can fight back and fight back this way. i like others. i really do. i think some of them would be great presidents. at this time, at this moment, with these american marxist movements taking over, with soros funding prosecutors, crime up the wazu. he's the guy, and they know. it let me tell you something else. >> add one other thing. look what china's doing. they try to fill the void left open -- >> of course.

>> -- by america not leading the free world. look at what's happening right before our eyes. look how dangerous that is. and the alliances they're creating. >> let me say something else while i have a minute or so left. this da in fulton county, atlanta, is another hack. the idea that a president picks up the phone and says something to the effect, find me some more votes, and you're going to say that's a crime. every precinct worker, i have no doubt she picked up the phone and said the same thing during her election. an this jerk in washington, d.c. where they dragged back from the hague, with a horrendous record of overcharging. hey, we got documents. we went and searched and found more documents. how the hell is that obstruction? the documents are still there. nobody sold them to the enemy.

why are you acting like this is the crime of the century, for god's sake? then january 6th. trying to dust off old civil war statutes and confederate statutes to apply against a former president of the united states. the democratic party is trying to destroy the republican party, and they are going to succeed if this works. the democratic party is trying to choose the republican nominee. the democratic party has been hijacked by marxist radicals. that's what this guy is in manh manhattan, atlanta. that's what all these fools are. victor david hanson is correct. we are in a revolution. this guy, donald trump, is standing up to it like very few can. they're going to try to destroy him. do you know what they're going to do? they're going to make a martyr out of him. no one can withstand this day in

and day out the way he does. they are going to make a martyr from him for liberty. >> started day one when he came down the escalator. he has a tsunami of legal actions against him. how anyone would be able to bifurcate their time and attention to running a campaign and dealing with all of this. i don't know how you do it. bill hemmer is with us. bill, let's get the news. basically the take away that i got from the president in his speech tonight. he gave a history. from the moment he came down that escalator at trump tower, it has been nonstop year in year out investigations. three years of a russia hoax, mueller investigation, two impeachments. now here we are with the first of what are many legal issues he is facing. what is the reaction you are

getting from our viewers? >> good to be with you. i also talked about the judge in this case and the da. new york was a mess today. you saw it for yourself. just a few points listening to the show on what happens next. donald trump will be back in new york in early december. december 4th. that's a monday. all the pretrial issues do not require his presence. the judge said got to be back here eight months from now. couple things here. what is the trial strategy? what are the legal issues you challenge? you were talking to attorney tacopina. you mentioned this. do you challenge the venue? new york voted for biden by more than 80%. is that viable? can you get a judge convinced of that? i don't know.

do you challenge the statute of limitations? trustey said there was no much leaked on behalf of the indictment, he was happily surprised with the content that he found today. there wasn't much of a surprise according to him. what happens with this trial? tacopina said this will not go to trial. trustey said it is not bad to have a star witness like michael cohen, who you can really pull in the credibility of the process with a guy like cohen on the stand. he was on another network still talking. we'll see how this story continues to change. couple questions trustey had. what changed? sean, i think it's worth repeating. mid december of last year alvin bragg got a conviction for the trump association, former

attorney of donald trump. also got a conviction against the trump administration. they issued a fine of $1.6 million. it was shortly after that time this grand jury was seated. was there something in there that bragg saw? that's something that remains to be seen. i did not realize you could file a motion to be presented for the grand jury. why is that important? you could find the wording, how does the law apply in a case like this now. there could be, upon discovery, a lot of information on behalf of trump's attorney that they will learn about the process. then what do you do? you get before a judge and push for dismissal of the case. i don't know if you can get that in new york city. maybe you can't. in the words of trustey, he believes they can make this case before this judge after digesting the news they got here

in new york, that it would be dismissed in a new york minute. >> bill hemmer, thanks. now following donald trump's arraignment, he had a press conference during which he repeatedly dodged reporters' questions. >> mr. bragg, you say there were 34 false business. the indictment does not specifically say what those crimes were. we are assuming they might be election related. >> let me say this. indictment does not provide it because the law does not require. >> jonathan turley, thanks for being with us. the president, in his speech tonight. you had the opportunity to read the indictment. he gave a history lesson of all

the things he's had to endure. russia. that was a three year long lie. it was a hoax. i'm proud to say we ended up being proven right time and time again, starting with the horowitz report. i want to ask you this. when you look at russia, ukraine, impeachment number two. when you look at now he's facing this case in new york, possibly one in georgia. at some point -- first of all, have you ever seen this in american history? at some point does america look at this and say, why? why is this one man -- why are they going after him nonstop? >> it has been unrelenting. there's no question about that. seems like the russian collusion

investigation, it was really shown to be unfounded at the very beginning. the fbi was told they were likely relying on russian intelligence disinformation that was part of the dossier. so there are legitimate questions of a lot of citizen, whether the criminal justice system has been weaponized. i think what is different here, it's very hard to come up with any rationale for what bragg has been doing here. this was an indictment that fulfilled his pledge during the campaign to effectively ban donald trump. the indictment came through a very concerning process where it was very political. two prosecutors resigned. they had a public campaign to pressure him. one wrote a tell-all book. these are things that were

shocking to many of us in the bar. i did not think alvin bragg would leave such gaps in the indictment. there were experts on every network scratching their head and asking, what is he being charged with? that's a horrible situation to be in. bragg said, i don't have to tell you. but you just became the first prosecutor to indict a former president. don't you should tell him and the american people what exactly you are alleging? >> can i read? every charge starts the same way. grand jury, county of new york accuses the defendant of falsifying business records in the first degree in violation of code 175.10.

defendant in the country of new york on or about, they give a date, with the intent to defraud and commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission there of, made and caused a false entry business records of an enterprise to wit and invoiced to who ever. you are a professor of law. can you explain that to me? what is the other crime? >> that's exactly the problem. do you recall his press conference he said maybe new york election crime. maybe a federal election violation. he just refused to say. what is very clear here, he doesn't have a federal election violation. at least not in my view and the view of federal election experts. this payment would not constitute a federal election contribution. one of the reasons the department of justice did not

pursue it. there's a host of problems that will have to be resolved up front. they just set a date in december. so this has to hang over a candidate for presidency until december. when i think there are threshold problems here which could lead to its dismissal. >> let me ask you one last question. this is important for everybody to understand here. we now are looking at, or he is. he is now a presidential candidate. what will become a tsunami of legal issues that i would imagine are going to consume many, many hours of his day. that would be the jean carroll civil suit from 27 years ago. she's not exactly sure what happened. but an alleged assault in a changing room in a huge department store in new york city. then you have, of course, the

georgia case if, in fact, an indictment came there. i have read it multiple times. i have not seen a crime there. they take one sentence in a long call when there's a lot said that adds context and texture to it. you now have a special counsel looking into january 6th and the records issue at mar-a-lago post raid. so my question to you is, how do you run for president knowing going through that legal rigamarole is going to probably take years? >> it is going to be years. it is likely none of these cases could be resolved before the election. then it gets very odd.

t unless they indict him an try him before the election, it is not clear how they would proceed. he can self-pardon for federal offenses. on the state side, these two state cases are exceptionally weak. the weakest is manhattan. we don't even know what the case is. georgia, i think, is very weak. the argument that his statement to find me these votes constitutes a crime doesn't fit with the entire transcript. interpretation of donald trump will be obvious. he was telling them doesn't take much to overturn this election. now might not agree with that interpretation but there's reasonable doubt there. so the two state cases i think are really fairly anemic.

i would be surprised if one in manhattan made it to a trial. juror skwrao -- georgia, these are fact issues. >> show me the man, i'll show you the crime. sad day for america. you now have to wonder how is the trump family holding up. eric trump is with us. i mentioned earlier this started from the moment your dad came down the escalator. it's going to be a long two years based on what we are reading is coming down the road. i can only imagine your family's reaction today. >> sean, we've been living for this over the last six years. i have never seen a stronger more determined person. my father has more back bone

than anyone i have ever met. he's an absolute rock. it donned on me, we flew to manhattan. every intersection was closed. fdr was closed. there was an army around trump tower. there were barricades all over new york. literally alvin bragg caused 38,000nypd officers to be distracted from their job, $200 million for what? for $130,000 payment? it's insane. how many people in new york died because the entire nypd wasn't doing their job because they were dealing with alvin bragg's political charade? people have to put this in perspective, sean. they're doing this to persecute a guy winning the republican nomination by 35 points? they want to take him out of the race. 11 million documents from the trump organization, they

couldn't find a damn thing. this is what they're doing in the 11th hour. america is failing on every single metric. they're going after him. they weaponized the system. bragg did it, james did it. they're doing it all over the place. they want a tsunami of legal challenges to weigh over the president. my father will never ever give up. he's gonna fight and i promise you, mark my words. i promise you, he is going to win in 2024. americans see through this charade. >> it's clear they want to keep your father bogged down until 2024. they want him wrapped up in legal challenges left, right, sideways until 2024. i don't know. i don't have a crystal ball. we do know what investigate eights are going on. i don't know what happens in fulton county georgia.

i lived in georgia. if there's any county that would be likely to go after your dad in georgia, it's fulton county. when you have a special counsel, you never know where those investigations will end up. >> sean, they want to bog him down in washington, d.c. he was getting so much done in washington for america. he was rebuilding the military. he was reducing taxes. he was cutting regulations. he was prioritizing religious freedom. he was prioritizing america first, peace in the middle east. guess what they were doing at the same time? let's impeach a guy for doing nothing wrong. let's speech him. let's go after supreme court justices and make up stories that they were drinking beer when that clearly wasn't happening. that's all they've ever tried to do. they've tried to bog him down. they tried to bankrupt him. that wasn't going to happen.

they tried to bog him down. that wasn't going to happen. so they go after his family, his lawyers, his friends. they go after anybody in his inner circle. sean, this is their plan. this is what the other party does. they weaponize the system. they weaponize every institution that they can put their claws into. they will win using any methodology that they can. it's not about fair elections. it's using any method to gain an unfair advantage over your opponents. they put our father and our family through hell. the american people see it. they understand what the washington swamp is loud and clear. that's being defined for america. when we got off that plane and you saw tens of thousands lining the street from palm beach airport to mar-a-lago waving trump 2024 flags.

sean, the love is incredible. no one has ever seen that kind of love. this is coming off the day the 45th president of the united states was indicted. the streets are littered with people singing god bless america. >> joining us south carolina senator graham. you've been one of the president's staunchest allies. you enforced him for 2024. you watched his speech tonight. he gave a long history. hearing it in total is jarring. knowing what he's facing is jarring. >> they have taking a wrecking ball to his whole life. there's a backlash brewing. what makes a banana republic? bill clinton was president of the united states. he lied under oath about sexual allegations. did he get prosecuted? no. lost his law license for five years. hillary clinton was democratic candidate for president. she destroyed 33,000 e-mails and

people on her staff took a hammer to a hard drive. were they prosecuted for obstruction of justice? joe biden hunter biden's business dealings. has anybody gone after their family? what's the often ramp here? to win in 2024. we have the house. we have three great senate pickups to give us back the senate in 2024. three democrats in deep red states that are up in 2024. we can take back the senate. president trump can get a second term to finish out his agenda. there's love in the streets but love ain't gonna do it, pal. tonight i have set up a website. i don't get one penny. i want you to give money to president trump. he's raised $8 million since this legal garbage stopped. 70% of the money goes to help president trump.

30% will help take back the senate. we got a chance to pick up three senate seats in red states held by democrats. i want to wake up after the election in 2024 with a republican house, a republican senate and donald trump swearing to be the president of the united states as we need. you are not helpless. the off ramp to a banana republic is to win in 2024 the house, the senate, and re-elect donald trump. how can you help? you can pray, help, give. lindsey graham.com. blow up the internet tonight. help this man, help america while we still have a country worth saving. >> do you believe equal justice under the law and equal application of our laws is dead? >> it may be. we got one last chance here to straighten this out. i just told you a democratic president lies under oath regarding sexual matters. they're not prosecuted.

a democratic secretary of state running for president destroys 33,000 e-mails under subpoena. they're not prosecuted. this is selective prosecution. it's legal garbage in new york. it's politically motivated. we do have one last chance to not become a banana republic. 2024 is the most important election in my life time. america is literally at stake as we know it. i'm sorry i'm so upset. but please help president trump. if you can afford $5 or $10. if you can afford a dollar. please pray. vote early in your state. don't risk anything. vote as soon as you can. pray for this country. if you've got any money to give, give it. lindsey graham.com. it doesn't go to me. it goes to helping this president an taking back the senate. let's stand up for this president, this country. let's don't take this crap any

more. we all can help. >> senator graham, thank you. here kelly anne conway, ari fleisher with us. all right. who wants to go first? i'll give it to you kelly anne. >> thank you. yes, sir. one thing i know you wanted to cover tonight is what we have seen all along ever since donald trump did go down the escalator. the media's core job is to get the story wherever the facts lead. but they gave michael evanotti an audience on cnn 74 times. that's an average of more than once a day. he is now serving multiple sentences for extorting nike, stealing money from his clients. i want to say one thing about what alvin bragg said. he said the second crime donald trump may have committed was

trying to pay hush money to supress negative information that could have affected election changes. i call bs on that. there was no -- i would focus on one woman, hillary clinton. donald trump went to eight, nine stops a day. he won that election fairly and squarely. she ignored the noters of michigan and wisconsin. we took the case right to them. the biggest crime donald trump committed with evidence is winning the presidency in 2016. alvin bragg and the rest cannot get over that he won, we had a better connective tissue with the people. ever since the moment he won, so many people have been so thirsty to just take it away from him, pretend he was illegitimately elected. i will say this about that. michael cohen would have had a bigger role in the campaign. he put all this together. you read his 18 letters.

said nobody in the trump campaign or organization knew about it. that's true, as far as i'm concerned. he wanted to say but for me making that payment, donald trump never would have won. the man won 304 electoral votes. had nothing to do with a foreign person. zero. >> ari, let's get your take. here we have a former president indicted in a court of law and charged with 34 felonies. i look at it, every lawyer i know looked at it. not one person believes this is a legitimate charge. this is a convoluted new novel legal theory they brought in just for donald trump. your thoughts watching this today? >> one of the raps against donald trump is he violates the norms and as a result, democrats had no choice, prosecutors had no choice. what's happened to donald trump

is the real violation of the norms. he was impeached by a process that did not even go through the judiciary committee. the second time they tried to impeach him, knowing they would not succeed, they didn't even go through that process. they shoved it down everybody's throats. now you have a prosecutor lopsidedly democrat, 85-15 democrat to republican in manhattan going after donald trump. here's what i hope happens, sean. i hope conservative prosecutors in rural areas of america indict bill clinton, indict hillary clinton, indict hunter biden. the only way to stop this and return to the norms is for one side to realize if they go too far, the other will match them. that's not the way we settle disputes in america. but republicans cannot be

unilaterally -- democrats are violating the norms and they are doing it through this weak case in manhattan. >> got a lot of low hanging fruit with hunter biden. the american people need to know how much money did biden family get from russia? how much money in business deals did they have with china? how much money did they get to pocket? did hunter mean it when he said he gives half his money to pops. was the big guy really joe biden? did the big guy purposely fire a prosecutor in ukraine to protect his son who was getting paid but admitted he had no experience. thank you. more hanty straight ahead.

(tony hawk) skating for over 45 years has taken a toll on my body. i take qunol turmeric because it helps with healthy joints and inflammation support.

why qunol? it has superior absorption compared to regular turmeric. qunol. the brand i trust. . >> sean: quick programming note,
