00:00 Ready? So here's a couple of quotes. Mark Levin, great man, great legal talent.
00:05 This is not a trial of Donald Trump. It's a case of the Democrat Party versus America.
00:11 It also represents the greatest effort to interfere with and steal a federal election
00:17 in American political history. Biden is seeking to clear the field. He wants to clear the field
00:22 because he can't do it himself. So he's weaponized the Department of Justice. And as you know,
00:28 they have their people in that room. They're DOJs in that room because they want to try and hurt
00:34 me. Now, the good news is my call numbers have gone up significantly. This is not what they had
00:39 in mind. Newt Gingrich, this is without precedent in American history. It has never occurred to
00:46 President John Adams or anybody else that you could jam your primary competitor, your primary
00:53 opponent, in his case, Vice President Thomas Jefferson. This goes back a long way. This has
01:00 never happened in our country before. There's never been anything like this. Andy McCarthy
01:05 just came out. New Yorkers should be outraged at the mockery, braggish making of the state's
01:12 legal system. As the entire country looks on, the entire world is looking on. This is a very
01:18 bad thing that's happening in New York. Businesses are leaving New York because of what happened
01:23 here and what happened with another crooked judge, En-Goron. Totally crooked. And he's under
01:29 investigation right now, as he should be. He's under a big investigation, I hear, right now.
01:34 Jonathan Turley, experts are shrugging, not sure what the crime is being alleged. Prosecutors have
01:41 not explained why denoting this as a legal expense was wrong. So they say that the bookkeeping
01:49 era, I paid a lawyer a certain amount of money. We marked it down as legal expense. So I had a
01:57 legal expense and I marked it down as a legal expense. I didn't mark it down as construction
02:03 of a wall, construction of a building. I didn't mark it down as electricity cost.
02:10 I took a legal expense and they called it. I didn't do it. A bookkeeper did it. You did it
02:14 exactly right. Took a legal expense and called it a legal expense. This is their whole case.
02:19 Are you allowed to call a legal expense a legal expense? I don't know what else you'd call it,
02:24 actually. But he brings it up here at the legal expense. It was, you know, what's the problem?
02:29 I never thought that as an attorney, I could see a system like New York's,
02:34 one of the most sophisticated legal bars in the world, really debase itself so badly.
02:40 This judge should not be allowed in the case. He should not allow this case to go forward.
02:45 Vershawn should rule in favor of a directed verdict immediately. There is an insufficient
02:52 amount of evidence. No crime has been shown. No crimes have been committed. There's been no crime.
02:58 Judge Jeanine Pirro, she talks here. This is well, she's very excited here. He's a fool.
03:07 He's not an experienced judge. So I'll make that one a little shorter. No one was off anybody.
03:13 Greg Jarrett, we're in guy. Greg's argument is legally flawed. The Federal Election Commission,
03:21 FEC, determined there was no campaign finance violation. The Department of Justice agreed.
03:27 No civil fine was levied or criminal charge rendered. Those two entities have exclusive
03:34 authority over federal elections. The state has absolutely no authority in the city.
03:39 Greg has no authority. And Greg never wanted to bring this case, in all fairness to him.
03:43 He never wanted to bring this case. Not a local prosecutor such as Alvin Bragg should be involved
03:50 in this case. And by the way, the judge, as you know, is totally conflicted. And everybody's
03:55 talking about it. It's an embarrassment to New York legal analyst. Michael Moore of CNN
04:01 doesn't think the prosecution has proven its case. Senator John Kennedy, respected
04:08 gentleman, I will tell you that trial says more about politics than it does about it.
04:13 The legs drive. If you want to hide something from Greg, you put it in the law book, bringing
04:18 in a fellow criminal trial. It hasn't proved to be a felony. There was no crime. Everybody's safe.
04:25 There's no crime.
