you're in staten island.hat is a dronald trump stronghold have you talked to anybody out there who has told you they might vote differently than they did in 2020? >> reporter: the age vulnerability for donald trump is also pertinent to this republican primary i was talking to one staten island resident who is telling me he would vote for donald trump in a general election, but he'd prefer don jr. to be the trump running in this primary. of course that is not the reality. i want to let you hear from two others when i asked them their feelings about this republican primary. take a listen. >> would you like donald trump or >> ron desantis. >> ron desantis. >> yeah. >> why not trump >> i don't know. i'm tired of him. >> tired of him? >> yeah, you know, it's enough already. i don't want to curse, sorry i voted for him last time. i want a younger guy. >> do you think that donald trump and joe biden don't uphold necessarily that future that you're looking for >> i think that they both need to have a conversation wit

on true social, the unfair venue us in areas that voted 1% republican should be moved to nearby staten island, very fair and secure location for the trial. additionally the highly partisan judge and his family are well known, trump haters. he was an unfair disaster on a previous trump related case, wouldn't recuse, gay pourable jury instructions and impossible to deal with during the winter hunt trial. his daughter worked her carla and the biden/harris campaign

staten island is republican borough. manhattan is a democrat borough.hey want every possible advantage the prosecutors. this will not be heard in the ordinary course of business. this will muck up the dialogue in this country for the year it takes for this thing to be resolved and then you have the appeals on top of that. this will linger forever. it is a mistake. it was, it was a gratuitous grandstanding by this prosecutor. i wish it never happened. now that it has, we have at least all of this programing for cable news for a year. there will be motorcades and arraignments and you know other leaders will be indicted and so forth this is baloney, neil. neil: got it. all right, i'm just going to take a leap here, geraldo, put you down as a maybe on the validity of this particular case but it was great seeing. >> you thanks. neil: geraldo rivera speaks his mind. by the way has a heart as big as any borough in manhattan and then some. meantime taking a look at stocks selling it off. i'm talkcalling it the geraldo effect. he speaks, stokes tank. not really.

shot if he gets to staten island, that would be the promised land.outcome. i think it would almost secure a win. >> there's going to be a lot of conversation about that going forward. danny cevallos, thank you so much. >>> the legacy of donald j. trump is complicated enormously popular with his base, we know this, but in the most recent survey of historians, the former president ranked as the third worst president in u.s. history, and that was before yesterday's historic indictment. presidential historian doug brinkly joins me from reduce university in houston where he's a professor of history donald trump has said many times he thinks he's the greatest president of all time, maybe second, but in reality, and let's take the big picture apart, how is history likely to look at this moment? >> you know, donald trump when he first became president, he tried to grab ahold of the mantle of andrew jackson, the idea that he was a disruptive force, that he was the populous president. trump put andrew jackson's portrait in the white house to be photographed by

, across th harbor on a ferry ride t staten island, because he wo staten island and the last electiontrump won 123, 000, t 320 votes in staten island not 1% of the people who voted for him in staten island wer willing to take a ferry ride over to the courthouse for donald trump donald trump's biggest vote in new york city was his ol neighborhood of queens, wher he got 212,665 votes, and it's possible that nobody fro queens bother to go to the courthouse that is how tiny the crowd for donald trump was in new york city, trump go 691,682 votes. at the courthouse yesterday, h got dozens of people it was, as chance would have it, the single most beautiful da of the year in 2023 in new yor city so far. the warmest, sunniest day of the year, and the anti trump protesters at the courthouse thought that was not a coincidence. that's one of the pictures tha we talk among the anti trump crowd, which was at least as big is the trump supportin crowd. donald trump called for deat and destruction yesterday, and he did not get it. joining us now, another witnes yesterday -- the column in new york tim

why did you decide to go into staten island? neil: i tried to understand how the colonial, pre-train era people made the trip from washington, d.c. made the trip to new york. that is what they did, they would go up philadelphia, across the delaware, go up through cranberry, goa through south amboy across the river, then across to staten island and make their way up, and finally across the hudson, basically where jersey city is now. i wanted to mirror that exact route, which i did. susan: one person that helped to but named stu conway. i think we have a video. [video clip] neil: i had to get across the arthur kill. i went down to the yacht club. i had to mooch a ride. it was the afternoon before, i went there and started talking, somebody said i think i know a guy. i got a hold of this guy stu, who sailed around the world, fantastic person. he and his friend came in that morning, said, i will meet you on the dock at 9:00. it was quite windy. it was treacherous. he took me across. they had driven an hour into perth amboy to do it

staten island for context here, jose, is the very republican borough of new york city here, voting byidate for governor in the 2022 gubernatorial election here versus the democrat. and in talking to folks here, what you hear is largely a reflection of what we're seeing in these polling numbers when you're opening up this poll, i think it's important to go back to that question among republican voters here in which 68% of republican voters nationally defend donald trump and say that they see themselves sticking by him despite the arrest and despite the investigations into him. that question was specifically, quote, they are politically motivated attempt to stop trump. no other candidate is like him we must support him. 68% of republican voters as it goes to democratic voters, though, joe biden here is that one major candidate at this point in the democratic field, and yet, you saw in the polling numbers among those that do not want joe biden to run again, 70% nationally say they don't want joe biden to run for office again. half of them said his age was a major reason listen to a few o

and the significance of that is that staten island really is probably the only area of new york, that has any republican support. he believes he would not get a fair trial in manhattan and in a sense manhattan is a very democratic place. that is one development. more than that it is an indication of things to come that he and his defence team will be making all sorts of motions in the coming months, perhaps even to have the case dismissed, charges reduced, etc etc, as a way ofjamming things up etc etc, as a way ofjamming things up to some degree. once he gets into the courtroom the charges will be read to him. that is the first time we will see the detail of those charges. you will enter a pleas on those charges and at that point he will be released and head back to florida. —— he will enter a plea. fist florida. —— he will entera plea. at that point we get to see the indictment unsealed and learn the real detail of what is in there, in terms of charges. it is real detail of what is in there, in terms of charges.— real detail of what is in there, in terms of charges. it is going

that the best seated, not even one third period while in staten island where the attorneys reportedly want to change the venue, president trump won the vote in staten island did better in 2020 that in 2016. what do you expect? to think they can get a change of venue? if it's not in new york and they change it to new york state? >> i definitely should be changed in the venue. that would be important for fairness. i think there are a lot of americans, who may not even like president trump who will be defending him. we have seen that already just because they care about equal justice under the law. and i believe as you analyze those numbers that you just pointed out from manhattan, in many respects it helps explain why is it the manhattan district attorney would even be bringing these charges. a lot of people, myself included, believe this is a political prosecution. alvin bragged he said before he even took office he was going to be leading this charge to prosecute the former president. he did not articulate with the facts are going to be. what the chargers are going to be. he said he i

this should be moved to nearby staten island.hich obviously voted for him. >> for non-new york residents, we have the reverse of what you find everywhere else. everywhere else, there is a county with cities within it. we have what we call burros, but they are basically counties. five counties make up new york city and he is asking to be moved from manhattan to another county, two miles away but politically very different. >> you look at a map of a 2020 election result in you look at manhattan, it is primarily blue. not many people here voted for donald trump in 2020. staten island is primarily red. he won that county in 2020 and 2016 as well. he thinks he will get a better jury in staten island and he is probably right. pundits and other national politicos have said that in manhattan, were not going to find that many people are supportive of donald trump. that being said, a jury is supposed to be objective and reviewed the facts of the case, but there are a lot of people that you not like him. >> he also goes after the judge. and

so they can move to staten island and buy a house. first generation immigrants, so they want home ownership -- neil: and it's too expensive. >> they'll do anything to prevent home ownership. it's either government housing or super luxury, nothing in between. neil: and by you is it more government housing? >> every we have more homeless shelter, if we could buy condos for first-time homeowners, people won't have to leave. neil: so what do you coin obviously, your store is a draw, people want the best shoes and all of that, but if they're afraid to come in or they're just visiting and you're not getting as many visitors, that'e wall here. >> yeah. i feel like they're trying to replace, our local government's trying to replace retail with amazon fulfillment centers. and parking also is difficult. they charge us to park til 10 p.m. in sunset park and third avenue. we have cars to get to work, not to drive to our second house in the hamptons. it's tough. neil: when did this start getting worse, eric? like, if you had to time it, because yo

you have the same news media covering staten island as yo do in manhattan. so i think you are going t have a hard time with a judg to move the trial, and that is very rarely granted, in an case >> i want to ask, you i have michael luttig on the other da who, amongst, others had expressed a disappointment thi is the first case. tell me about the sense of the other cases. i'm going to put them up on th screen but when you told them up there, they are on seven. we have two that hav defamation cases, laetitia james has a civil, case an then there is the jack smith two cases and then the georgia case is there some sense that there is an order in which they go and he coordination betwee prosecutors on that about, hey can i go first, because this one is going to be bigger? >> not normally. this is a state prosecution. sometimes we coordinate with the federal prosecution when w are deciding that, for example new york state, we didn't have strong enough laws for sometimes getting the evidence and then turn it over to the feds but i can't think of cooperating in the w

so interest in the tactics there in terms of a little more support for republicans in staten islandnce assessment of that particular move. we have seen donald trump region against the attorney general and the judge was up attorney general and the judge was up in one tweet a few days ago donald trump said the judge hates me. it will be thatjudge who decides whether to move the trial and it looks unlikely as it stands but those are the pictures there in terms of trump tower. in terms of what we're likely to see — thejudge has ruled, that the media will be allowed to take still pictures in the courtroom — just before the hearing gets under way — but tv cameras will only be allowed, in the corridors outside. we will see if the former president walks past the cameras and says nothing which is not normally his style but we will wait to see if he addresses the cameras. many of his supporters are across the road. i can see pictures out of the corner of my eye with some of his supporters with flags and those people have been amassed outside, just across the way from the courthouse. and those

moving the trial to staten island would not make -- would not make much of a difference, not only because of how you point out trump is a high profile public figure, but also you know, we have had cases where -- when the trial gets moved, that doesn't mean you get a new judge, and if the judge is the problem for the president, i think a judge can be a much bigger problem than a jury, and he comes with the case to staten island. that really does not advance the ball for trump. my attitude about this, i refuse to indulge the fiction that this is an episode of the criminal justice system doing justice. under circumstances where this is a purely infused, pervasive political process where you have a district attorney who is only nominally a district attorney substantively we would better understand alvin bragg as elected democrat ran for office vowing he would leverage the powers of his office against his partisan enemies, like his day job. his night job is actually dismissing the cases of criminals who are preying on new yorkers. but he vowed this would be a political objective of his. he's n

we just heard trump wants to move the trial to staten island, what are the chances of that at the laste? >> there will be a flurry of motion this and among them, judging by donald trump's remarks, not only challenging the judge and demanding he be disqualifiers to or accused for cars, buyers and political connections but also to change the venue to a venue that is perhaps more representative. stuart: can trump at this point change the venue, what are his chances? >> that doesn't change the judge. stuart: what are his chances of changing the judge? >> it will be up to the judge whether he will grant the motion to recuse himself, you could take that up on appeal, and her to yakitori appeal as well as the venue. the strongest case is to knock this out because the statute of limitations expired long ago. the predicate crime here appears to be a misdemeanor that has a 2-year statute of limitations, that expired 5 years ago and i don't see that it is expended or told him his lawyers say, if you read the language of the statute, it says you can't find a defendant whose out of jurisdiction, ev

and we know that the trump side wants to do a change of venue, perhaps just that at staten island, acity. but they will be a lot of motions after we get this. and when we get to this first stage will receive the actual indictment, and he has bulked up to steam in a big way. which we will talk about in just a few moments. >> bill: we will see if they've been on any of those motions what you think? >> martha: i think they could. i think they could. >> bill: a change of venue is nothing to happen. >> martha: if nothing happened but i think is a possibility they cook though the case out. you know, we will see. we will see. >> bill: hey, you are in this game with us here. we are all just waiting together so thank you for your patience. ri 33 panelists must take a l look. >> this is a crisis for every american family. because when you look, guess what happens. when they leave the eagle pass, they are not staying here. they're coming to your states. by going into your schools, you're going to your hospital, your law enforcement officers are suddenly have to deal with them. they are not taki

nbc's vaughn hillyard is in the trump stronghold staten island new york talking to voters there.t are you hearing, vaughn >> reporter: chris, the folks that we've talked to here over the last couple of hours are very much reflective of these new nbc news polls here nationally when you're talking about this potential donald trump versus joe biden matchup, it's much like the fact of having the dodgers and the astros go head to head. the most likely to get to the world series and yet unfavorable by the large greater national majority but when you go to their divisions, the republican party and the democratic party, right now they are the two front runners clearly. and when you look nationally at the numbers, you've got 70% of americans saying they don't want joe biden to run 50% of democrats say they don't want joe biden to run. then on the republican side, you've got 60% of americans saying they don't want donald trump to run and for both of these men, age is a major factor as to why. but when it comes down to it, the folks end up going to their corners. take a listen to some of th

so whatever remedy he wants, move the case to staten island is something he's been suggested, because there's been so much less publicity on staten island than in manhattan these issues really do have significance, for the trial and on appeal. the reality is that good judges understand this happens in some high-profile cases with volatile defendants it's very important to lock it down early and make sure people understand the case has to be tried in the courtroom, not on the courthouse steps >> paul, we have a story now of trump -- this judge donated $15 to biden for president the judge in trump's new york case donated $15 to biden. it shows two small dollar donations given to progressive groups this same year. i don't know if $20 should count as a donation in our current political environment. that's coffee. you couldn't even buy clarence thomas for that amount of money. is the revelation of these donations going to have any impact on this case? could that -- as joyce suggested, could that imply the trump team will say, this guy is corrupt, he has given to a campai campaign, we want

here's one of his last posts on truth social this case should be moved to nearby staten island could be a fair and safe place for the trial. the judge and his family are well known trump haters. he was a well known disaster on a previous trump related case. wouldn't recuse, gave horrible jury instructions. impossible to deal with during the witch-hunt trial his daughter worked for kamala and now the biden/harris campaign kangaroo court. also in term of the evidence lawyers say was not presented, i want the read from the statement of facts from d.a. alvin bragg who by the way will be holding a press conference in a moment and we'll go there as soon as it begins from august 2015 to december 2016, the defendant orchestrated a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him to suppress his publication and benefit the defendant's electoral prospects. in order to execute the scheme, the participants violated election laws and made and caused false entries in the business records of entities in new york the particip

thank you for that. >>> so congressman, parts of what you did as a congressman was for new york, staten islandars, right, to come back to the place you represented. so the fact aside that alvin bragg says no federal dollars are being used for this, is the extension of what jim jordan is saying because every congress nal district al district across america gets federal dollars. is everything the same >> bragg is right here in the sense that what jim jordan is doing under the auspices of the judiciary committee is interfere ing with the case, and there's a deeper point that centers around politics the entire focus of the republican party right now is on bragg and this purported notion that new york city has more crime than any other city, which is patently false. new york city is one of if not the safest cities in the united states of america, and the reason why they're doing this is they actually want to distract everyone from the details of the actual case. they kodon't want to talk about the fact that donald trump committed business fraud they don't want to talk about the fact that irrespecti

he has been speaking on his website truth social saying he wants the case moved to staten island, wherere are more republicans. but do you think he is being warned of that? >> definitely, but they cannot control their client. when you represent donald trump, you know he rules, youan tell him anything he will not listen. they want him to stay quiet because they don't want him to address -- upset the judge, but they don't want him to make more admissions to make him harder to defend in trial. he's already made damaging comments that will be used against him, and i'm sure the lawyers don't want to make more. >> this is the difficulty dealing with donald trump, you make a plan, but he goes straight through it. >> that is true. those lawyers will earn their pay, assuming they collect it. it will be very busy. >> you are referring to the fact he doesn't always pay his lawyers. >> he has avoided jail time, everybody said bob moeller was amica's last boy scout who would get donald trump, and he produced nothing. this is not something new for the president. he's seen the stakes before. it is hig

he wants it to be in staten island. you don't get to choose, right. mean, this is not something that the person who is the defendant gets to choose. sure everyone would would like to pick their county of choice. usually if you do ask to move it. you do ask for an adjacent county. there are a lot of adjacent counties to manhattan, staten island, i think went majority for trump so no wonder he's trying to get over there again. compromise on brooklyn or just have it on the river on a boat. this is assuming that they can't find a fair jury here, and this is supposed to be on the merits of the facts of the case. that is what juries are charged with and what they do, so thank you both so much great conversation that was hoenig and john miller. as you know, and a renewed john alright this morning. three democratic state representatives in tennessee face expulsion after participating in gun safety rallies in the wake of the deadly school shooting in nashville. we're getting new reaction, the state capital, anti business and anti florida disney ceo, not mincin

host: gloria, democrats line, staten island, new york. caller: yes, i want to talk about judge -- justice thomas. i think he should be set down because he's got a record that goes back a long ways as far as doing the wrong thing when he accused the lady of inappropriately touching him and he was found not guilty. he is guilty and he got this normal function to be let off. guest: you are referring to the anita hill allegations. thomas found that they did not care, that's to the difference. . the senate didn't care about the anita hill allegations. just like the senate that return kavanaugh did not care about his accusations. that is a deeper rock at the heart of air system. -- of our system where we are willing to not just elevate and promote but idolize men who are under these kinds of allegations. that's the deeper rot. in terms of stepping down, if he had dignity, he probably would. he is facing cause of impropriety. there was a democratic congress and it was unlikely to the democrats would actually impeach him or they didn't want to go

another could be to move it to a differentjurisdiction, perhaps one that has been floated is at staten island be easier to find a jury pool there that might be favourable to him. i think there's a long way to go. we've all been following the events of the last 48 hours and the drama of watching a former president being arrested and fingerprinted and going through the arraignment process. but now you get to the typical grind of the legal process and that can be quite slow. as you mentioned, the next court date is in december, and that is when donald trump has been ordered to appear. but in future hearings, it mightjust be the lawyers behind closed doors. wall—to—wall coverage by the us media, of course, of this huge story in us politics. what has the analysis over there been? has it only served to harden party political lines? you've never been able to separate the legal from the political here. in part, you see it both with da alvin bragg, there have been questions as to why he brought this case now and that is something that people poring over the indictment want to get a better understandin

said earlier, in the truth social post, talking about his desire to go to a different venue, to staten island, as opposed to manhattan, very partisan venue and he talks about the judge and his family as well-known trump haters. i guess what you're saying, it is hard him to imagine him backing off that kind of language on that same day. >> maybe he is warned by the judge to knock it off essentially. it is hard to tell donald trump that, but it could be a very real possibility. >> if he is warned to not talk about it and if he does deliberately disregard what the judge says, then i think you up the ante in a different way and that's when i think the judge may be inclined to issue an order. and obviously there are free speech concerns, the fact that he is running for public office, if he deliberately ignores an admonishment from the judge to not talk about this case, because usually, if the defendant, who wants to preserve the right to a fair trial, usually it is the defendant who is asking the prosecutors not to talk about it, but asking for the gag order, and if he deliberately ignores what th
