a review of relations with the united states. the live from are just so you center here in russia's capital city. this is r t. let's get in to our top story. this web a nice ation of the us justice system. the words of senior republicans in response to the shock guilty verdict 100 done to donald trump in the new york courtroom on thursday. the parties presumptive presidential nominate, was convicted of falsifying business records. mister trump claims the entire case was reg, from the off is never been anybody so conflicted as is i was far as the trial itself. it was very unfair. we weren't allowed to allowed to use our election expert under any circumstances. you saw what happened to some of
4:02 pm
the witnesses that were on our side. they were literally crucified by this man. it's a rig. it was a rig trial. we wanted a venue change where we could have a fair trial. we didn't get it. we wanted a judge judge, we wanted to judge it wasn't conflicted, nothing ever happened to. they know it, but they were solution is fallacious as they could be. and it had nothing to do with the case, but it had to do with politics. do you notice the timing? the timing was perfect. this case was dead. it was dropped by every agency. every governmental board, it was dropped by the highly respected southern district. they want to announce that was running for president. long time later, they decided to revive this case. that's how the american system of justice works. as reckless is dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this is greg,
4:03 pm
just because they don't like the verdict. our justice system is adored for nearly 250 years and it really is a cornerstone of america, our justice system. while we're here on 5th avenue in manhattan in front of trump tower, where there are hundreds, possibly thousands of people gather the bulk of whom are trump supporters. and they see this as a miscarriage of justice. now that the reaction of the trial from many people is to call this blatant pollute us ization of the us legal system. many are pointing out for example, that falsifying business records is generally a misdemeanor and not a felony. however, in this case, they made it a felony and donald trump was convicted on $34.00 accounts of it. here's some of the reaction to donald trump's conviction. indeed, great damage was done today to the public's face in the american legal system. for
4:04 pm
a former president can be criminal, convicted, or such a trivial matter motivated by politics rather than justice. but any one is at risk of a similar fate. today is a shameful day in american history. democrats cheat as they can, the bigot, the leader of the opposing party, on ridiculous charges predicate on the testimony of a decent, bought convicted felon. this was a political exercise, not the legal one. what a nice ation of our justice system has been. the whole michel, they bite and administration, this was a shame show trial. the kangaroo cold will never stand on appeal. americans deserves better than a sitting us president. what the noise in our justice system against a political opponent all to win an election. now it's also important to know that the charges stem from an alleged payments of a $130000.00 to porn stars, nor mcdaniels. it's a ledge that harsher money they're calling. it was paid to the former pornographic film star and exchange for her not saying things about the former president. now
4:05 pm
it's worth noting that uh, that itself is not a crime. the crime would be what he was convicted of was falsifying business records. many of noted that paula jones was paid over $850000.00 by bill clinton, in the aftermath of law suits for allegations of sexual misconduct. and bill clinton was never charged for that, and that was not considered a crime. but there are bigger legal questions about the case. for example, the jury was told they did not have to agree what crime is donald trump had actually committed. they did not have to be unanimous on what crime the president had committed. but as long as they agreed he was guilty of something, their verdict would be considered unanimous. and that raises a lot of questions about how the judge carried out the trial and the instructions given to the jurors guilty on all counts. donald trump is found guilty on all $34.00 criminal charges. donald trump has been found guilty on all $34.00 charges in his hash money trial. here what we're doing is taking the element that actually
4:06 pm
makes this a felony because remember, falsification of records is normally a misdemeanor in new york. what makes it a felony is that you are concealing or committing another crime. and here the judge is telling them they don't have to agree about what the other crime is under circumstances where that not only is what makes this a felony. what makes it a 4 year potential present penalty rather than a year or less. so the only reason they're still able to bring this case is because it's a felony, allegedly, and yet now the judge is saying the, you know, you don't have to agree on what the felony is. people are also raising questions about why the judge did not provide the jurors with copies of their instructions. while they deliberated and determined that donald trump was guilty, they were instead told they could ask the judge to read the instructions again. but they were not given written copies of the instructions about what they were
4:07 pm
intended to do, and how they were contented to rule on the case. and that is something that legal scholars also have. questions about this is insanity. i have tried many jury trials in my day. you give jurors paper instructions every time. how are 12 jurors suppose to remember the elements necessary for each of the $34.00 felony counts? this is an elicit with tons of prosecution. now at this point, people are wondering what this means for the upcoming us presidential election. donald trump is the presumed and domini of the republican party. but the question is, will he be able to run a presidential campaign? his sentencing is set for july 11. he could receive up to 4 years for each count that he is convicted of up to a 136 years in prison for falsifying business records, filing paperwork incorrectly. people are looking at this case and saying, what comes next. this is certainly unprecedented in american politics. never has
4:08 pm
a former president of the united states been convicted of a felony, kill him. i've been from the streets of new york city. well, we have been hearing some as you might expect, divided opinions on donald trump's criminal case. as well as his bid to return to the white house from the coast there, it was a show trial where they have something in the soviet union, right? we all know this, but it's waking people up, so i'm happy. okay, we're headed for a great time. we're headed for jubilee. we're headed for time. we're on trump means honest money, honest madison, honest media, honest, collections, honest energy, honest education, no matter what they're taking all of the world. but they're thinking we have a lot for countries crazy. you know, that whole world is looking at us saying, what's going on over there in america, the greatest country in the world. and, you know, not too happy with it. you know, i mean, how dare them take a president and do this to our next president. i would hope people who are paying
4:09 pm
attention realize that i fell on kind of votes, and most this fellow scandal we're going to have a feller possibly have a fell on it as is it just a system stuff with other people in jail on the, on the on the door, the book on board with a fellow with inside the system. it makes no sense of joining us now. i for is take is u. s. lawyer. i'm conservative. talk show host steve. gail steve, good to see you quite a 24 hours. it has been donald trump, his supporters, others indeed at claim the trial at was rigged. he calls himself the most at check politician in the world. how likely, though, do you think it is, if the case was rig that they could prove it, that they couldn't prove it, that they couldn't even say what the underlying crime was. and the jury,
4:10 pm
when they did the, the form finding him guilty simply checked next to each box saying guilty. and never stated what the underlying crime was. which would have to have been a federal election law of violation which are barred by the statute of limitations . and for a state court to try and force a misdemeanor, a federal crime is again outrages. this is the most disgusting display of injustice, just the salem witch trials, and to put it into a context on this, on this business records business. even if you went out to the grocery store and bought some beer and bodka and chips for a party at your house. and you tell your bookkeeper yeah, i went to the grocery store and your bookkeeper, write down groceries on the little line on the check. you sign it, they didn't want to come back and prosecute you with this democrat judge, democratic d a, a start that democratic jury and say, yeah, but it wasn't groceries you bought, bought to be, or in chips you didn't specify and therefore we're going to prosecute you and put you in jail and all, by the way,
4:11 pm
the bookkeeping you put in is barred by the statute. limitations. this case is outrages. it will be thrown out on appeal. i think that actually was his grocery list when he came to moscow, steve, but that's another story i can i look at it from another point of view falsifying business records on its own, as you say, a misdemeanor in new york. but the prosecution argued that trump's case was elevated to a criminal felony as the misdemeanor was done to help and commit to or conceal another crime. was his defense up to scratch a spell? the fix was there was no other cry. uh, 1st of all, uh it is not a legal, it'd be like the example i gave it to check. it's not a legal to buy beer bought good groceries. that's not a legal and putting groceries instead of beer vodka and, and chips is also not illegal paying money due to this porn star. if he did that, if he knew it happens is not illegal. and you've got celebrities in politicians and,
4:12 pm
and business leaders all the time. we want the best positive press, one to kill stories that are, that are on the final range event. none of that is illegal. so they took something that is not illegal with a democratic district attorney. again, a judge that donated to the buying election committee in violation of the law. the judge's daughter is raising millions of dollars for democratic candidate. they have so much, you know, just abusive, processed in this. and then you stack a jury in new york city were dining percent of the residents voted against drunk. 4 years ago. i'm feeling about his supporters are, are, are more cautious this time to run that in 2020 there waiting for his appeal to see what comes from that. but if he lose it, steve, we saw a mock protest. we sold this to him and capitol hill before. do you expect that? i don't know payoffs to occur if he doesn't get on the at the presidential rule.
4:13 pm
i think, i think you'll be on the presidential balance and, and the interesting thing is, in the 6 hours after he was convicted, his campaign raised $34000000.00 and even people who are democrats, even a correspondence for cnn are saying this result is outrages. here's the problem, and this is why this corrupt judge and corrupt da pushed this the head and broke all the rules in every way possible. they didn't mind how many overturn level actions they took, they use it, the appeal will be a year or years away. down the pipe, so the election will be long over this is just a smear. trump to hurt trump, to claim he's a convicted felon. and paid him is that knowing that this case again, could not withstand the appeal on a whole host of issues. interesting. okay. really, who's the accommodate or steve deal live on the program? thanks for your take. and that's dave. thank you. in a huge ukrainian cells. all of us supplied miss silas targeting the crime in bridge was intercepted
4:14 pm
earlier this week by russian forces that is, according to moscow's defense minister, instead of attempts to strike civilian infrastructure, show that kids western sponsors are seeking to escalate the war. a short list to move forward, and i would like to report that just on wednesday that was the most massive 10 round attack with us to attack it was miss solves. on the core, i mean bridge with a flight time of less than 2 minutes of the missiles with shut down, deprived of the opportunity to seize the initiative on the battlefield. the key every team continues to demonstrate to as western responses, its ability to damage the russian federation by striking civilian infrastructure. the west is urgently pumping weapons into cranes transmitting intelligence, framing ukrainian service men and recruiting must embrace. in this vein, russia is continuing it special ministry operation, and all these goals will certainly be achieved as a result of all actions and important areas. a nicole called region. the enemy has retreated by 8 to 9 kilometers this month. a line $28.00 supplements have been
4:15 pm
liberated in total, 880 square kilometers of territories have come under the control of the russian army this year. the russian armed forces are systematically producing the combat potential of the crating own forces. in may, the enemy lost more than 35000 service men and 2700 units of various weapons among number 290 tank sonoma to combat vehicles, including full abraham 7, the leopards, and 12 bradley's 2 pieces. well, it's very interesting context is very interesting as well as this was made at the c s t o, which is the collective security as an organization which is like national exec rushes allies. if you like. i get together and discuss the security situation. last week we had president bruce and also in bell russia. so this is also interesting where this was said, it comes in a context where the west is almost obsessed in the media. with this idea of permission for weapons on our supply to going to the reality. and what we know is
4:16 pm
that the ukraine has been striking on the russian territory. rush of proper, not the new territories for the last 2 years, basically on and off. so this whole a fun to see in the west that you know, we, we won't, we allow these weapons to be used on the long list of the country, suddenly deciding a we'll be, won't we, this is we kind of dispelled in some respects by uh, dmitri pest golf and marie is a hire of 2 very senior people in the political world here and will shift some of this from us. they have to say to them, to them. in general, american made weapons are already being used and attempted strikes on russian territory. but of course, it is more than eloquent evidence of the extent of the united states involvement in this conflict. there is also an absolute build up of pro war sentiment in the you. they are deliberately full mentoring, pre more hysteria. but all of this, of course can not but have a very negative impact on the overall situation of the tensions continue to escalate to the court. it was all vs that the nato members were lying and putting
4:17 pm
up a smoke screen making up a story that they had not yet decided whether or not to allow the key of regime to launch strikes using west and weapons on russian territory. in the same way they mislead those, they trying to drag to the conference in switzerland by telling tales about its peaceful settlement, classic native style manipulation. and so the message coming out of russia is, this is also some sort of political stay as a, from the west. i'm just wondering, just how capable ukraine actually is on it. so, you know, without nature as a force. well, the reality is, from a strategic point of view, from an analysis point to view your train is now exceptionally reliant on western a financial aid and economic aid, of course, military item. you remember, joseph burrell not so long ago, suggested that it would take 2 weeks of to end the war from europe and america stuff floating it with weapons in cash. and this is the reality, of course, you probably doesn't manufacture any of these long range weapons. it doesn't have
4:18 pm
any capacity to target them. and many other analysts have written about this. this is a completely hollow the country at this stage regarding the ability to wage this for a very interesting have let him approved themself has gone into great detail lining the reality of what's happening with the long range strikes from you find that it's not a you pain doing it essentially that they have no satellite information, they have no targeting and that it requires specialists from britain, germany, france to operate the systems of the target them. that's all the listen to what you have to say. it's elizabeth, which nettles eventually then this new high precision, long range weapons custom cannot be launched without using space recognizance. in addition, the final target choice and the so called flight mission, but it can only be made by highly qualified specialist is based on this technical intelligence doing who is doing this. this is done by those who produce and allegedly supply the systems to ukraine. the scan and does happen without the
4:19 pm
participation of ukrainian military personnel and other systems are also being prepared on the basis of space exploration. yeah. and are automatically brought to the appropriate calculations. this task is being prepared not by ukrainian service men, but by representatives of nato countries. but these representatives of nato countries, especially in europe, they should generally be aware of what they are playing with somebody. they should remember that this is of them as a rule, a state with a small territory, and a very dense population when you much to and this is a factor that they should keep in mind before talking about striking deep into russian territory has mentioned. this is a serious matter, and we are of course, watching it very carefully get through. it's a new things going on. so it seems like it's a case of say, one thing do another for many of these western countries, which makes it a little curious when we see these powers giving a so called official node to k of to attack russia with mesa website. and so what, what can you tell us on this?
4:20 pm
well, it, it seems there seems to be a pile of, of getting on board. now, as you know, as you cranes more goes from bad to worse which side of it the counter offensive, which was always going to be a huge success. all the game change the leverage, the challengers, the own snouts, the 16th, all of which a fail. oh, all of which have been destroyed by russia in the background to this there's a reality as well where there's oh, at 1st tape, you know, the worst is kind of actually the 1st what the west to say and that's been born out again and again from the men's records to the go shading to is stumbled. so when they had a deal done 3 weeks after the start of the s, m o, the landscape then pulled away from the table by a bar as johnson. and of course, the washington was probably involved in the 2. we've also now had on 3 blinking coming out and suggesting that it's ok to strike russia beyond russia's borders with ukraine, with weapons supplied to ukraine and somebody some. over the past few weeks, ukraine came to us and asked for the authorization to use weapons that were
4:21 pm
providing to defend against this aggression, including against the russian forces that are massing on the russian side of the border and then attacking into ukraine. and that went right to the president, and as you've heard, he's approved use of our weapons for that. for that purpose, i'm going forward. us both continue to do what we've been doing, which is as necessary, adapt and adjust. and that, as i said, has been a hallmark of our engagement. it will continue to be. so there's a kind of us gets a free and here, and it kinda underlines the point that doesn't need to be a strategy in the west or on this forward motion. the only forward motion to west seems to have now regarding ukraine after the election year. no president of the united states wants to lose a war. how afghanistan to point though, in the run up to the election. a lot of a very focus you are paying careers are still invested in this war. and ukraine, you know, the defeat of russia underlined this economy. sometimes all these things,
4:22 pm
which i've turned out to be completely untrue. yet, as we see this escalation, correct, the leaders of big you put your being could be powerful, you're a fee for the poland, fonts, and jeremy continue on message with the escalation. that's the new invest executive model. so we're seeing exactly within the same framework. we think that we should allow them to neutralize the military sites from which the missiles are fired. and basically the military sites from which you crane is attacked. the vendor on several countries, including germany, have reached clear agreements with ukraine on the use of western weapons. such a defensive struggle is not limited to one school national territory, but can of course, also be extended to the aggressive national territory for reuben post couple don't get them because we always weapons that we're transferring to ukraine to not have any use restrictions. the greetings can fight the way they want, and i think this is a very, very important aspect of this donation. so it all seems to demonstrate one thing. uh, when you look at this objectively that, you know, you find isn't
4:23 pm
a sovereign state anymore. it's not a southern state economically, it's not a summer state military. it seems that somebody else is deciding when you find a tax, one of the tax with stuff asked permission whether it can attack real. she'll be on this boards that doesn't suggest the sovereign state. it's never go over and a lead boy of mine who is a defacto dictator. see how no electoral mandate on president vladimir putin had to point out the intricacies of the ukrainian constitution at a few days back and finding out that only the government now has a right to rule. as lensky has no right whatsoever. so it seems to be getting more more kilometers and it seems the only people to actually know what's going on, and ukraine, or the russians. well, international lawyer, political consultant, are no delay safety of a part of the fields at tons or solely on tide, a grooves. now i don't apply to be sure it's uh, nothing new. uh, 1st of all, i mean, the ukraine has never really abided by any kind of laws of war and as far as of
4:24 pm
preserving a suitability for structures. so this one supplies any one here in the as far as the use of long range missiles and has that games. this is the only thing that god blessed essentially. and to the extent they need to provide for side of uh, putting up the flight. uh, the uh, you know, the long range weaponry, uh, of course, using intelligence uh from the uh, western sponsors uh seems to be the only uh, the only car they have left up chip has left and the washington pulled up. nato has left uh, in order to try to vote the russians into your are showing a more subdued approach to the big progress that we've been registering the last few weeks and mostly on the kind of golf area. so there's this notion that somehow they can keep a, you know, a gorgine gording the bad and that this won't lead to consequences,
4:25 pm
which i think is a major miscalculation on their part. but make no mistake about it most voice perfectly. a commission of what's going on in terms of uh, the equipment that's being shipped into the frame, the movement of troops. and to the extent that get the actionable intelligence, they will move on it and eradicate any kind of uh, type in the the prime minister of georgia house, coal for a review of the countries relations with the united states. he's pointed to a legit american involvement and i'm think government protest in the clock says nation back in recent years. i don't know why there were 2 revolution attempts in 2020 to 2021. then in 2022. the fact is that the previous use invested or messed up too much over the years and it needs to be fixed. american funded and joe stood up on the revolutionary stage when they demanded the resignation of the trojan government and the permission of a government with their participation. well,
4:26 pm
it's always good to go live to former senior security policy analyst in the office of the us, secretary of defense. mike, come a list to hear his take michael at. we appreciate your time today. this all comes, of course, against the box, drop off the transport and see load that's being passed by the georgia department. what do you make up to police these allegations against washington? a? well, i think they're well founded. the united states looks for every avenue to try and that's what the n g o. so primarily are you have your i, r, i, which is the republic inside you have a d, r i d and i, which is the democrats, they're all trying to instill democracy and in these countries. and they use them as their products. and they're, they're backed up by the us government. now if you're talking about other energy as do medical and other, the other kinds of things. but requiring now under this law that it's regarded as a foreign power. and let's say 90 percent of their funding comes from overseas
4:27 pm
and the law requires that if a, if they make 20 percent or more, they've got a reported if not, they're under heavy penalty. and that gives them also the authority, the government, the authority to decide whether or not that that the entity is operating within the law of georgia. it is, it is a far, very far sweeping law. it's worth more. no more far sweeping than the borrow that we have in the united states. the ford bill that we, we require for an agents to of, of, of entities that directly work for governments for cut outs that are working on behalf of foreign governors. that's what we, that's what michael quinn was convicted on. few years ago. archie america was required when it was in existence to file as
4:28 pm
a foreign agent. even though bbc, which is a british government own, what's not required. so it depends upon how they want to apply the law and, and against whom it's a, it's a political weapons. and even though we have it at the, the georgia tablets look probably more sparse sweeping than us. but it does represent internal yeah, it does reference that external interference and internal affairs of another country. there's miss side to that as well. the white house slamming georgia's so called foreign agents law american lawmakers and threatened to slough functions on to police. see, it begs the question, why, why is this domestic law in a court because this country about as far away as you can get from u. s. borders, why is it such a big deal for washington? well it's, it's, um, it's, it's, it's, uh it is, it is a type of law that i think the, the, it is to,
4:29 pm
to how to set the on covers what some of these, uh, uh, entities are outside externally. there might be controlling internal internal affairs in, in, in georgia. in this case, i think the people of georgia have a right to their own politics through their own, to do whatever they want. but the clearly united states is into everybody's, uh, uh, internal affairs. and we've seen this time, and again, we saw us involvement the going back to 2004 and, and, and we use it as well as in ukraine, the united states. and again, this is meant to contain russia. ultimately, you mentioned you create microstates, does this have the width of 2014 on my down and by the way the protests were coming out, the support for them from the west. the template seems to be in motion here. yeah
4:30 pm
there's, there's a similarity and i, i wouldn't doubt that you're seeing um, opposition cooking up here because of us that action and to induce lives to uh, to stand up and get the government which is not very friendly to the united states these days. the united united states is very concerned that georgia is going to look more favorably upon russia. and now you have the prime ministers report points out now. questioning whether or not they wanna suspend diplomatic relations. a just a, a notes as well to point out to the audience here i'm just reading george and media i clicked funded by the us and the us post to the provocative video at showing a at griffey t sign that suggest the 84 georgian lawmakers who voted in.
