Hey, ari. Thank you very much. We are planning a big show, here, bear with us, we have donald trump facing the fraud trial as soon as this monday, with Special Report, and d. A. Fani willis, taking on trump and the sprawling rico case will begin with trunks address, take a listen. There is an Extremist Movement that does not share the basic belief in our democracy. The Maga Movement and there is no doubt that Todays Republican Party is driven and intimidated by maga republican extremist. They are not hiding their attacks, they are openly promoting them. Trump says the constitution gave him the right to do whatever he wants as president. End of quote. I have never heard a President Say that even in jest. The president , making those comments about the threatening remarks to general mark millie, which were a very big deal. Donald trump posted online an attack on milley, then sa in different time, the punishment would have been death. This is, by any measure, a major scandal. It is not somethg something that has been criticized for, even by his rivals, who say they should be the nominee, not him. Here is what biden said about that silence. This is the United States of america. And although i do not believe even a majority of republicans think that, the silence is deafening. Hardly any republican has called out these heinous statements. The general has also spoken out in public. Lets listen to what he said. As much as these comments are directed at me, is also directed at the institution of the military, every single one of us, from private to general, swore an oath to that constitution. Are you worried about your safety . I have adequate safety precautions. I wish those comments had not been made, but they were. We have taken appropriate measures to ensure my safety e safety of my family. And there is a broader climate of rising fear, rising threats. Donald trump, of course, is tied to a coup, we all know that. Whether it is a crime is what a jury will decide that we all lived through the insurrection, and now, threats t the fbi have actually not just doubled, but risen more than 300 in just the last year and a half. The agency has now created its own unit to deal with this. Much of that comes out of the rightwing attacks that donald trump continues to launch. Now, biden was speaking in arizona. He also honored the late senator and longtime republican john mccain, passing him as part of a bygone era in that republican party. By the way, if you recall the battles over many issues, from healthcare to taxes, these two men knew each other, and clashed constantly on policy, on the direction of the country, on who should be president. But where they came together, unlike what the general just mentioned, was on the constitution, the baseline of unity and democracy. That kind of patriotism use it to be shared, even across many differences between parties, where conceding an election you lost was the norm. A little while ago, i had the honor of calling senator barack obama to congratulate him please. To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. What you see there is the candidate, a republican, a statesman, speaking. And yes, the audience was booing, but of course, at the time, he was the head of the party, he was setting that standard. Now, that booing has turned into something far more menacing, a longrunning physical effort to overturn elections. Not just from a few people in the crowd, they are from people atop the republican party, from trump on down to those other republicans who could not find it in their minds or hearts to criticize him. On that, President Biden is accurate. Not sure i agree with everything he says or does as president , but it is simply true that republicans are silent. What we should do in the context of this big address . The president pointed out that was norm for every president , for decades. President carter and his successor walked to the oval office for private talks. I must say, the president was most gracious, most helpful, and has gone all out to be completely helpful in this transition. I look forward to talking to the president. I am honored that he extended his hospitality to me and my wife yesterday. No matter how we cast our ballots, this election gives us all reason to be proud of our democracy and our country. I hope you will join laura and me in congratulating President Elect obama, and wishing him the very best for his family and our country. This peaceful transfer of power is one of the hallmarks of a true democracy. The peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to the next. I committed to President Elect trump that my administered will ensure the smooth as possible transition, just as present bush did for me. Fax. Everybody did it, up until trump decided to pass it to himself. He has proven the antithesis of this required tenet of democracy. There are things people can debate about. Should there be one day of voting or a week . Should the legislature be able to rule on everything, or have upper limits and ceilings . There are parts of governing that we debate. And then, there is whether we will have a free society and government at all, whether we will keep our democracy. We just showed you everyone, across the spectrum, and then, we have the outlier. Through all of american history, and the current maga threat of donald trump. Do you make the same commitment that you will absolutely sir that you will absolutely accept the result of this election . I will look at it at the time. Will you commit to making sure there is a peaceful transfer of power after the election . We will have to see what happens. That is a no. Living room for he hopes to win, and not actually have to take up what would be, of course, the negative space of admitting that he wanted to overthrow the government and install himself. That is ultimately what we saw, what he did, but we live through. He will face trial for now. Whenever, for anyone who is surprised about how outof control things got, it was not out of control. Those are air quotes. It was a plan. It was executed by allies of the president , the proud boys we told the state standby, the militias. And while the legal questions will still be resolved, legal defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty, there are legal president the president this moment is speaking to something well beyond the technical legal system, which we respect in the rule of law, but we are not just talking about the rule of law. We are talking about what citizens and informed members of society will do when somebody who has a said that stuff and acted on that stuff is now saying this stuff. He said he would not respect the peaceful transfer of power if you lost. He made it clear, then he went on to try to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power, to overthrow the incoming lawful government of President Elect biden. Now, he said he will go after the Security Services and the military, which, as we know from other countries, the last line of defense if you get out of control and have a stencil, you have the People Holding guns. That stops coups and other countries. He is saying he wants his team to threaten, scare, or murder those people. That is why it is a big story. If you did not believe them last time, do you want to believe them this time . Howard dean is here. He has taken this threat seriously. He is a party leader, a governor, and what a potential candidate. However, we are back with you in 60 seconds. Really nice note to rush home and take a daily hiv pill.

Your response to the warning from the president today . It is disqualifying for him to serve in any public office. But, of course, the voters decided otherwise seven years ago. We really are at an Inflection Point for the interesting thing is, this is going on all over the country, all over the world. There is a guy running for Prime Minister of slovakia, usually corrupt, quite possibly involved in the assassination of a reporter, who is now leading the polls. He will probably lose, because therell be a Coalition Opposing him. This is really a test for the American People. Are you going to be decent people who do the right thing . Look, i did not agree with very much that george w. Bush did, particularly the iraq war and the enormous tax cuts for the wealthy. But i liked george bush personally, and i respected him. I respected john mccain enormously, because of his service to the country. Trump does not respect anybody, precisely because he does not respect himself. That is what he is selling to the American People. He is selling anger, he is selling fury, but he is not selling respect or decency. This is a decision for the American People to make. I always say, the voters are the boss. The boss may be wrong or right, but the boss is always the boss. We are going to find out what the boss really wants. It is their choice. This is where i think biden is absolutely right, their choice what kind of country we want to have. But we will not get what we have back if we lose it this time. Yeah, as you say, there is more on the ballot than two people. There is wider context. Everybody had to figure out how much attention to pay, and how to deal with what trump says and does and posts online. I will say, as a point of reporting observation, on the u. S. Military is paying attention to the threat and responding to it as a threat. That is chilling to think about, someone who used to be the commanderinchief. We have shown the general speaking about that. The violence here is also held out as an effort to disrupt the Legal Process, which i mentioned. Heated rhetoric in anger, the New York Times rts among Trump Supporters have authorities worried about the sk of political dissent becoming deadly. The fbi threats i mentioned have spiked. They have a special unit on this. And then, there are jurors and other citizens, howard, who are not career professionals, who have not necessarily developed thick skin or immunity to this. Your thoughts on all of that . That is a major problem. That is the authoritarian playbook that trump is working out of, threaten people with bodily harm, threaten their families if you dont get your way. It is the classic authoritarian move. First of all, i grew up in new york. Trump cheated and lied his way to whatever he has, and he he will have most of it taken away, because he will probably lose his new York Business license in court in the next few weeks. This is a bad guy. He never should have got as far as he did. He is really sort of an insufficient personality, a clown. But the fact of the matter is, he has conned a lot of americans, and the first people who will suffer in his re election are the people who are voting for him now. He will turn on them because he does not give a about them. The only person donald trump cares about himself. Howard dean, i wanted to get your view, straightforward as expected, on some serious issues. Thank you, governor. Thank you. Appreciate it. We have a lot more on the show tonight, including a witness list that is out for the Trump Fraud Trial, which the governor just alluded to. There are problems there for trump, we will explain that. Storm aqua coming up, one of the Special Reports we have been working on, our Special Report for you as we get near the end of the week on the prosecutor with the broadest case against trump, on the coup plot, why she has regal victories that scare trump world, my Special Report is next.

Now to our Special Report. For all the prosecutions that have come out of the january 6th insurrection, from trespassers to those who blatantly attacked police, to the actual malicious seditionist, no trump aid has been put on trial for actions to steal the election either that day or in the weeks leading up to that day. The first trials, though, for any trump aids for all of that will begin next month, and not in jack smiths d. C. Courtroom, but in georgia, because d. A. Fani willis has brought the rico case there against trump and 18 others. People are just starting to learn about this prosecutor. I think it is a choice, actually, between integrity and corruption, good and bad. That was willis, but not talking about this case. There, she was discussing what she called the choice during her campaign for this post. We will get to that in a few moments, it is pretty interesting. But in this case, she previewed these upcoming arguments by outlining the legal theory that trump and his codefendants actually formed a legal gang or Racketeering Enterprise, which existed to overthrow bidens lawful win in georgia. Rather than abide by georgia Legal Process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal Racketeering Enterprise to overturn georgias president ial election results. That State Racketeering Law is a powerful tool for prosecutors. There were observers who questioned whether this was a reach to use it in the trump case. But i can tell you, williss approach is not specific to trump. She has deployed this powerful law in other nontraditional ways, even before she rose to this job, which brings us to this Special Report for your. Because now, if willis is suddenly a Household Name fo
