Zeldin was saying the criticism about the district attorney in new york who brought these these charges? alvin alvin bragg. what do you say to that argument? because we re hearing it from a lot of republican members of congress right now that this is a district prosecutor who said he wouldn t prosecute a number of, uh what people say are serious crimes and yet is going after what they say is less serious campaign finance crime. well, i think that argument is really beside the point. the key issue is, is donald trump being treated the same as other people similarly situated that is other people that have committed business crimes. is he getting the same treatment and there s no reason to think that he isn t and that ought to be the standard. the rule of law should apply equally to everyone. whether alvin bragg is handling other aspects of his job the way some new yorkers would want or don t want is a completely separate issue. there s a lot more at stake here than the fate of donald tru
Top shelf on the up and up was not fatally undermining the cases. and frankly, what can actually rehabilitate someone who does not have a whole lot of credibility is consistency, the other c words over time he had told the same story multiple times to different people, and it s not as far as we know, ever shed any of the truth. it s also a remarkable dramatic story when you think back over the years of michael cohen s relationship with donald trump i remember sitting in michael cohen s office, and he was idolizing donald trump, donald trump. and he was you know, this is the man i want to be like he s everything to me. and now it s shakespearean in a way that he tried to live up to some expectation of donald trump and in the end and that that trump had of him. but in the end, trump didn t bring him to washington. trump never put him on the white house staff, and then he ended up in jail because
Time because there s no reason on top of that. it creates all sort of security issues to have the former president who again in the custody and care of secret service to have his hands behind his back. i m told he won t spend any time behind bars. uh that he will definitely be fingerprinted. why would you say you mean when he s because of the unusual so yeah, he won t be in in what way the holding done. personally, i don t want to see him. paraded that way, remember because he s a former president of the united states because i actually care more about the office of the presidency of the united states than he does. i don t want to see this made into the laughing stock of the world. he was still the former president. i mean, these aren t the things that these are the things that you see from other countries like venezuela, right? i mean, you don t expect to see the former, this is a first time ever in the history of this country that the president, former president has been indicted. th
Moment after he got arrested, essentially was laughing at all off and got interviewed by the media. the next day, and it was it was bragging about how he carries his hatchet around with him, so i think that there is a perception issue that you re not . you re not dealing with a law and order prosecutor now there are other people out there who? defending alvin bragg and i get it. i m just saying that there s some people who have been pretty critical of alvin bragg and by the way i m on him. are you upset at open carry hatchets, but not open. carry guns. is that what i just heard? well if you show up with a hatchet into mcdonald s, and you start swinging the customer i just picked up on the opening catch it sort of issue tables and you end up getting instantly released back out on the street and by the way, if he was out there with, you know, with any type of a weapon, i would say that you shouldn t be instantly released. right? right back out on the street. i would say one thing by the
Really difficult lane, though. when you look at all the other candidates, and i would actually say that as each additional candidate comes into the race that probably helps donald trump more like nikki haley, coming to the race probably pulls more support from ron desantis and from a donald trump. so if i m donald trump in some odd way, i d probably want as many of these candidates in the race as possible because they re splitting the rest of the vote the first time around. listen regarding mike pence, of course, when your base is morally upright evangelicals, you come out and defend. the guy who paid off porn star involved in your affair that makes perfect political sense only in the age of donald trump. but here s the thing, every politician or aspiring politician every morning gets press clips. this is news of relevance to them. it used to be manually clipped, and then it became obviously digitized, and politicians prefer that they be in those press clips and right now, every single
