public he s pulling the strings on everybody. crazy. you re right, joe, today is historic we ve never seen this. a former president of the united states will be processed as a criminal defendant he s going to go in and get fingerprinted, he might get a mugshot, we don t know yet this is a big deal, it s extraordinary, it s news what it isn t is the reality show that he has created for himself and too many people have fed up to leading up to today which is every second of his day documented we re hearing this morning he might take fifth avenue to the courthouse, it might be park av avenue, it might be madison, stay with us to see how he gets down to the courthouse today is a huge deal but the play lewd, the lead up, the story donald trump created with that first tweet continued yesterday. of course, you would take the fdr drive but you can t have onlookers on the fdr if he islooking to create a spectacle you head down the middle of manhattan. to joe s point that would happen all t
we expect the former president s motorcade to move momentarily, any moment now, to go from 56th street and make a left up madison avenue before he heads down presumably the f.d.r. drive to the manhattan criminal court building, the state supreme court building where the arraignment will take place. the former president arraigned and arrested when he shows up in court. he will not be handcuffed. instead, fingerprinted, all the court business at the court today on hold for this historic occasion. meanwhile, let me show you the scene here outside trump tower which is right behind me. it is a mad house, as you can see. this is really become the newest tourist attraction in new york. not only have hundreds of media lined up along 5th avenue at trump tower, but tourists and visitors and new yorkers crowding to try and get a look of the former president when he leaves, taking videos and photos as well as looking at the media
car with him. i just as much as we ve all speculated on his mood and how he feels about this. i know him well enough to say he s not happy about this. this is a man that despite his actions does care about legacy, and now his legacy will be regardless of where this goes to be the first former president to have been indicted, and that s got to be weighing on him as he s driving in a motorcade through his him his hometown. that doesn t mean his team is not going to be looking for every way to spin this to their advantage. they have reportedly raised $8 million. you know, he s going to give his speech tonight. he may make remarks at the courthouse. but this has got to be sobering moment for donald extraordinary. there s no fans lining the sides of the roads. there s no supporters cheering him on saying, you know, we support you . this is an average day in new york city, where life of the city goes on. he s just it s just a couple of cars on the road driving down the fdr drive, and everyon
former president and you didn t even say with the charges? come on! he is spending how many millions of dollars on this circus? he is shutting down the fdr drive. he is hiring how many police officers? how much manpower is going into the d.a. s office on this case alone? meanwhile, we ve got a crime wave out here and he has the nerve to come out and say, he doesn t want to normalize crime come on, man. his case is built on a disbarred lawyer who served prison time for lying, a porn actress who actually had to pay trump because she lied about the nda, and michael avenatti, where is he now? actually, he is in prison. this is the crux of the case that you are building. and i ve got to tell you. you re putting donald trump s life in danger. you are setting him up and advertising the entire world,
