you from los angeles welcome to alex witt report, would be getting this hour o the investigation into donal trump s alleged hush money payments to film star tort stormy daniels he has been launching out on true to media today. he claims he will be arreste on tuesday clay calling th manhattan da office political. and calling for protests the manhattan da is declinin to comment but some spin campaign said th there has been no notification trump is rightly highlightin his innocence. his defenders have rallied mos notably, kevin mccarthy ca called it an outrageous abus of power by the da democrats are concerned that his social media post coul lead to violence i am just so struck b remembering back this mornin to the two impeachments that i was involved and asked unite states senator of donald trump and remembering my republica colleagues, some of my republican colleagues saying oh they believe that donal trump has learned a lesson fro these experiences. and yet, here we have to
deal with all of this bill is gonna be social media post which he wrot today. which, is protests, take our nation back. if donald trump is indicted, how much will it inflame his supporters i mean, are you worried abou unrest, stephanie? or have some grown tired of hi same old excuses, same old rhetoric well the legal system just continues to follow the law. yeah, so i think i m in the minority right now that of course it is going to enrage his most ardent supporters, hi most extreme supporters. he can do no wrong in thei eyes but i really believe this is going to be yet anothe reminder of the baggag potential corruption that come with donald trump. and i think people have to remember that the voters spoke in 2020 when biden was elected and they spoke in 22 in th midterms when, you, know there was no red wave like everybody was predicting so, i am up the opinion that this won t help him. he only thinks about his bas supporters though. so he is not thinking about th left-leaning republ
that trump has been unde investigation for for the last several years. i think it is very clear tha the justice department has moved more slowly than multipl other bodies the prosecutor in new york clearly, as well as the januar six committee which we know wa talking to people like the chief of staff in seeking th testimony of mike pence s aide and others long before the doj view that as a multi-par conspiracy so i think that we are bac today, alex, in a place that i guess as a nation, legally politically, and otherwise, we may have stepped away from for a little while the recent era. we are back to this question o whether donald trump will be successful in his quite brazen efforts to undermine the rul of law, to rattle the system i the way that it is supposed to work, to basically abuse disrupt, delay, and shake ou the legal system away from doing its job. and, again, as always i sa that separately from whether o not. there is evidence to try him o
already a scattering o extremist talking about civi war, talking about warning governor desantis in florida that he should not allow extradition of the president the former president we have lawmakers like the house speaker already tellin us what his dance is going t be it is going to be combative, a protest type stance. we have trump already saying that he has a rally planned fo friday in waco texas, right on the cusp of the 30th anniversary of a deadl standoff between a religious cult and federal agents wher at least 75 people died, including three atf agents all of this is going to stress and test our system with regar to lessons learned from januar 6th. whether the fbi can gather intelligence, act on it, whether any gaps have been filled since january six tha will allow law enforcement t prevent any planned violence it is going to be a rollin test as we watch indictmen
that had an impact that wa very temporary but no, i don t expect anythin other than what happens with president trump and marcus okay, that is good. now let s talk about what yo did yesterday which was righ about all of these ban failures and governmen intervention, concluding tha the banking system will hold firm despite all of th unfolding drama. so, mark, are you saying tha the crisis is over i think there s still a lot of uncertainty yet to unfold here, alex the system is still, the banking system is still very unsettled. so, no i don t think this is over i do think that the worst is over though. i do think that the government for your aggressive response guaranteeing deposits for al depositors big and small having defense set up facility to allow banks to get the liquidity they need to pay depositors when they want thei deposits and, of course, the effort t organize the big banks to come
