Speaker 1 (00:00):
And thank you Scott Channon. Thanks to all of you
for being with us. We appreciate you being here. Here's
our toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and ninety
four to one Sean if you want to be a
part of the program. I didn't think i'd be starting
with Alec Baldwin today, and I won't spend that much
time on it, but I found this very, very interesting
and I can't actually believe. I never thought that they
(00:21):
would come that I'm going to actually support Alec Baldwin.
I've had my fights with him over the years. You know,
missed the Father of the Year, and you know, we
had one, we had a couple of classic Twitter wars
back in the day when I was on social media,
which I am not anymore. And you know, I'm going
to play this tape for you. And he goes in
(00:42):
to buy a cup of coffee and there's a anti
Israeli agitator there who just is demanding just say one time, Alec,
one time, free Palestine, say a one time. He's in
a coffee shop trying to get a cop of coffee,
go home and be you know, not bothering anybody. This
person will not stop harassing him, you know, and the individual,
(01:07):
the actor, while he appeared to be on the phone,
probably well he really was, and it was just a
way to ignore the person. And at the cash register
at the shop, and just this person relentlessly harassing this guy, Alex.
One time, just say free Palestine one time, goes on
and on and on. Just one time. I'll leave you alone.
(01:27):
I'll leave you alone if you say one time. Then
she blurts out f Israel, f Zionism, and then adds,
why did you kill that lady?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Alec?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And killed that lady and got no jail time. Well,
he has a trial in July. In terms of the
cinematographer hutchins, And it is while it's a felony, it is,
you know, involuntary homicide, it's not it's it's it's gonna be,
you know, we'll see what happens. But put all of
(01:57):
that aside. This lady's such a jackass. Whoever, this person
is harassing the hell out of the guy. Which is
you know, which does any decent person act like this?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Let me play it for.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
You, Alec, can you please say free Palstine one time?
Why did you kill that lady? You kill that lady
and got no jail time. No jail time, Alex, No
jail time, Alex. You're putting innocent people in jail, Alec Baldwin.
Free Palistine, Alex, just one time, and I'll leave you alone.
(02:30):
I'll leave you alone, I swear. Just say free Palestine
one time, one time, one time, one time. Alex. You
a criminal.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know he's a criminal.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Come on, Alex, just say free Palistine one time, one time,
just one time, please, and I'll leave you alone. Free Palestine, Israel, Zionism.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Please say it one time. He just smacked the phone
out of a lady's hand.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You know the worst part of this is, you know,
in a screwed up city like New York, he's going
to end up on the other end of this having
to defend himself. And that's how sick and twisted and
bizarre our system of justice is in this country. It's
pretty unreal. We have a lot of news today. We
(03:25):
have a lot of news over what's going on in
the Trump trial. We have a lot of news what's
going on in college campuses. And I will tell you
what we are witnessing on these college campuses. Ought to
scare the living hell out of any decent American because
what we're hearing is just I didn't think we'd ever
(03:46):
be debating this in the course of doing this program
when I started on radio years ago. And as a result,
you know, we hear the death to America, Chalance, we
are Hamas chance, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Columbia.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Now you know, meanwhile, well the courtyard in Colombia has
been taken over by a bunch of radicals. They now
have had to put their classes online. You have a
rabbi on campus saying that any Jewish student needs to
needs to, you know, stay away from the campus. It's
not safe for them. And then of course you got
you know, beginning with the Jewish holiday of Passover, one
(04:20):
of the most important religious festivals in the Jewish calendar.
They celebrate the feast to pass Over to commemorate the
liberation of the children of Israel who were let out
of Egypt by Moses. And anyway, just hours before the
commencement of Passover, Joe Biden. You know, it's it's sort
of like, really Joe, because he ends up, you know,
(04:41):
talking about the Prohamas protesters lavishing praise on you know,
one of the squad members which have their anti Semitic wing.
In this case, it was AOC and the message from
the Biden White House was you know about this. Well,
I condemned the anti Semitic protest. I also condemned those
(05:02):
who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians. Now,
hold on a second, and a lot of people have
rightly pointed out, Oh, I thought that's what the left
got all worked up about when they talked about this
whole issue of Donald Trump and the issue of Charlottesville. Now,
(05:26):
if you look at the whole comment, I went back
and looked at it. You're changing history, you're changing culture,
and you had people.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Now listen to this part. This is what Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And remember the media, Oh, he's praising the neo Nazis
in Charlottesville. He said, I'm not talking about the neo
Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.
But you had many people in that group other than
the neo Nazis and the white nationalists, and the press
(05:57):
has treated them absolutely early. Now in the other group,
in the other group, he had some fine people, but
you also had trouble makers, and you see them come
back with their black outfits and with their helmets and
their baseball bats. And you got a lot of bad people,
a lot of bad people in that other group. Oh well,
(06:18):
what's the difference with what Joe Biden is saying. But
of course the mob, the media, Oh, they won't see
an analogy at all. But now the kids at Columbia
will have to finish their classes online. The campus still
remains pretty much under siege. President Trump has weighed in
on this and he called it a total disgrace, and
he said it's really on Biden. He's got the wrong signal,
(06:41):
he's got the wrong tone, he's got the wrong words,
he doesn't know who he's backing, and it's a complete mess.
If this were me, they'd be after me, they'd be
after me so much. But they're trying to give him
a pass on what's going on. And it's a disgrace
to our country. And it's Biden's fault because Biden has
not had the moral clarity that a president you would
expect to have from a president on this. I mean,
(07:04):
Professor Dershowitz, you know, was on Hannity last night and
he actually he said, look what I'm going to say
is very controversial. This is more dangerous than January sixth,
he said, because those didn't involve as many students, not
as many elite people, not as many as future leaders.
And we are Hamas, in other words, what we're rapists.
(07:25):
And think about this, this is Joe Biden. Have we
really forgotten what happened on October the seventh, the murder,
the rape, the beheadings, the kidnappings. Have we really forgotten
the biggest terror attack in Israel's history? And now the
Biden State Department is citing Israel with human rights abuses, Well,
(07:48):
what about the abuses?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
The people that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Are responsible for all of this would be the terrorist
group Hamas that has in their charter the destruction of Israel.
And it's not just Colobe, It's not just NYU, it's
not just Mit, it's now Harvard, it's Yale, it's Berkeley.
It's happening all around the country. You know, you have
(08:11):
you know Obama, by the way of Columbia alumni is
he's been silent. We now learned the university has all
of these tenured professors that are are repulsive anti Semites
that celebrated the terrorist attack of October the seventh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know, it's one.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
One House democrat actually said he'd be worried to send
his children to Columbia after watching this. We got more
protest planned for NYU. I actually went to n YU
for a year. We saw them protesting during Hannity last night.
And the radicals now are controlling these college campuses, and
these presidents don't have the moral clarity to say no,
(08:52):
I mean and think about this. The college campus is
that you can get expelled from if you use the
wrong pronoun And colleges now they don't know what to do.
They're paralyzed by all of this. Harvard, Yeah, Colombia, Mit, Berkeley,
and it keeps going on and on. You had another
story out today about a Jewish student of Columbia, you know,
(09:12):
saying it these anti Israeli protests snatched and burned his
Israeli flag, struck him in the face with rocks during
the unrest that took place over the weekend. He was
displaying the flag before ten pm. You know, elite schools
now the New York Post out of column. They're turning
into Hamas university. Anti Semitism is running rampant. You want
(09:34):
to talk about a scary generational statistic. Youah, nearly half
of Generation Z voters are sympathetic towards the terrorist group Amas,
according to a Summit dot org RMG research survey. Wow,
do you think Israel's wealth and the military power make
it its campaign against Tamas unjust? Well, most voters across
(09:56):
the board believe Israel's campaign is just, you know, compared
to twenty one percent to believe it's unjust. Only forty
two percent of voters aged eighteen to twenty four. Well,
these are Joe Biden voters that he's been losing in droves.
If he does a little bit of help, it gives
a little bit of help to Israel, which is the
bare minimum. You know, where where is the president's moral
(10:19):
compass to stand up against radical Islamic terrorist groups like
hamas I pointed out on TV last night, Since two
thousand and five, the tens and tens of thousands of
rockets that have been fired from Gaza into Israel. I've
been there, I've seen it. I've been there during a
flare up, I've seen it with my own eyes. And
(10:40):
now this is just running rampant, and none of these
college professors have any idea how to deal with this.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's not that hard. You if you're going.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
To enforce such strict woke regulations as pronoun you know,
proper usage, and you're so politically correct, then you ought
not be allowed to do this and take over the
campus the way they've taken it over and chant you know,
we are Hamas and we support Hamas and all the
(11:13):
hostility that are being brought towards Jewish students. It's unbelievable.
But they still set up their tents. They're now setting
him up on other college campuses. This is now growing
out of control. By the way, down in Florida, they
didn't put up with this crap. Yet all of this happening,
you know, starting at the Golden gate Bridge Columbia University.
Now it's spreading like a cancer. And what happened Ron
(11:36):
DeSantis stopped it right in its tracks. You can't stop
it if you have the will to do it. Robert Kraft,
who have known for many many years, owner of the
New England Patriots, he was on Hannity last night and
he literally says that he's going to stop donating to Columbia.
He's donated a fortune. It was through a full academic scholarship.
(11:58):
He wrote to Columbia that gave me that I was,
that I was able to attend in college and get
my start in life.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And I have.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I've been tremendously grateful. However, the school I love so much,
the one that welcomed me and provided me with so
much opportunity, is no longer an institution I recognize. I'm
deeply sadden at the virulent hate that continues to grow
on campus and throughout our country. I am no longer
confident Columbia. It's students and staff. I'm not comfortable supporting
(12:28):
the university until corrective action has been taken. And then
and he says, they hope they'll stay, they're not standing up.
This is the problem. You saw all of this unfolding
last night, you know, with you know, on the campus
of New York University, and then the police had to
you know, arrest hundreds and kick people out. Then during
(12:51):
my my show at nine Eastern, they were walking through
the streets.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It was pretty unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The only two senators are are Timson Scott and John
Fetterman calling for the Columbia president to step down. It's unbelievable.
But this is life in America when now we don't
have the moral clarity. And Joe Biden cares more about
the votes that he lost in Hamas and I'm sorry,
(13:20):
the votes that he lost in Michigan at of people
rebelling against his support of Israel against Hamas and he
lost eighteen point nine percent of Democratic presidential primary voters.
And so now he's telling Israel, yeah, we support you,
but we're not going to support you defending yourself against
Iran firing missiles into your country. Why because he wants
(13:44):
those radicals to vote for him. That is the only
reason he's doing it. You know, he talks about the
urgent concern over Israel, and god's the human rights and
the State Department now attacking Israel. Where are their statements
against the terrorist group PAMAS for crying out loud?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's repulsive, all of it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Back to New York and this sham of a trial
with Donald Trump. I mean, it's really insane everything that
I keep laying out to you. It's insane that the
judge in the case voted or i'm sorry, donated it.
I'm sure he voted also, but donated to Joe Biden
in twenty twenty. Then you've got the other conflict of
(14:31):
interest involving a family member. Then you have the issue
of the statute of limitations have run out on what
would otherwise be. It's really all about a bookkeeping error
and the fact that they said it was a business
expense and they went into a non disclosure agreement, which,
(14:51):
for those of you that don't know, probably every big
company in America has gone into numerous ones, and it's
it's basically often a financial calculation. How much would I
have to spend in legal fees? How much do I
pay to make an agreement with this person that has
whatever whatever grievance they may have, whether it's legitimate or not,
(15:16):
they'll make a financial calculation to either do it or
not do it, or maybe they did something wrong and
they just say, okay, let's settle this between ourselves, and
they settle it. They have a non disclosure agreement end
of the day. But you know, Jonathan Turley, and there's
so many smart lawyers that have weighed in on this,
and they're just right. And he called this this trial
(15:36):
and embarrassment. He's a Democrat, he's a professor, but he
cares about the law, And he said, the fact that
we're talking about this case being presented in a New
York courtroom leaves me in utter disbelief. The arguments in
this case capture all of the problems.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Here.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You had a misdemeanor under state law whose statute of
limitation said run out. This is a case that goes
back to twenty sixteen. They've had eight years to litigate this,
but they never did.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then they.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Try to use a federal law, you know, going back
this far that doesn't exist, as he points out, and
in terms of election laws, as a means of bringing
these charges, which should never have been accepted by any
judge that really cared about the rule of law and
the truth. This is the weaponization of our legal system.
(16:33):
This is what we've been telling you about. And by
the way, Turley then made a comparison that's applicable here
because if you remember Hillary Clinton, remember she paid for
the Steele dossier. Remember how she paid for it. She
paid for it as a quote legal expense sound familiar.
And she hired a law firm, Perkins Cooey. That was
(16:55):
the legal expense that they claimed it was Perkins Cooey
hired op research firm Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS highest former
MI six official, Christopher Steel. He puts together a series
of documents. They became known as the Steel Dossier. You know,
remember when when they funded the dossier, which they denied
(17:17):
to reporters, they put it as a legal expense, and
they fought the eventual fine, but they received from the
federal government saying, well, it was a legal expense. Now
you got the same Democrats supporting this bizarre theory against
Donald Trump, and the prosecution being led in part, by
the way, by a guy who gave opening arguments who
(17:40):
was actually the US Associate Associate Attorney General under Biden.
They brought in a Trump hater from the Biden administration
who's leading opening arguments and maybe all the arguments for
Alvin Bragg. And anyway, you support the accurs Hey, this
(18:01):
is coordinated the fact that most people in most courts
would be like, whooooo, you have a former Biden Justice
Department attorney that left his position just to do this
case for Alvin Bragg and get Donald Trump, and that
somehow Trump orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the twenty
sixteen election. Well, people go into non disclosure agreements for
(18:24):
all sorts of reasons. And if it has to do
with what Stormy Daniels, who, though in writing denied that
you ever had an affair with Donald Trump and ever
was paid hush money just to put us an aside,
you know, then maybe the real rationale or reason might
have been, well, maybe I don't want my spouse to
find out. Not saying I agree with it, I'm just
(18:46):
saying that would be a motivation for many people. You know,
Andy McCarthy writing why do we call this a hush
money trial? And he talked about the media democratic complex.
They love salacious overtones that you know, you know that
is implied there. But if Trump robbed a bank or whatever,
you know, it's you know, we'd be talking about the crime.
(19:09):
The problem, he writes, is that the Democrats and the
medium mob elected progressive prosecutor Alvin Bragg, And is this
is what they what they want.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
To accuse Trump of, in his words, is not a crime. Yeah. Sure.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Bragg indicted Trump on business record falsification offense, a misdemeanor,
had abusively tried to inflate into thirty four felonies, which
in and of itself is beyond the pal They use
all these opening arguments, Oh, conspiracy to commit election for
that's not what this case is about. That's not what
he's been charged with four years, you know, telling the
(19:47):
American people Trump is the most profound threat to our
constitutional order.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
But Bragg's elaboration.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Of Trump's supposed criminal scheme laid out in the statement
of facts or so called that he penned and published
when the indictment was unsealed, you know, it shows what
he's accusing Trump of is not a criminal conspiracy. And
that is why Democrats and their medium mob allies have
to say hush money trial, because that's not what they're
(20:15):
alleging here. They're not even alleging a conspiracy. Everything they
said in their opening remarks is not even part of
the trial. I like Greg Jarrett's take on this. He
called it, you know, hocus pocus. It's a meaningless distraction
or illusion that is intended to fool. In this case,
the jury and the DA hopes to basically snooker this
(20:35):
Manhattan jury into convicting the former president with a bag
of legal tricks. He says, the first slight of hand
happened the moment. The lead prosecutor addressed the jurors during
the opening comments on Monday, and the assistant Da Biden's
former number three official at the Justice Department that we
know is weaponized, said, this case is about a criminal conspiracy. Well,
(20:58):
then why wasn't Donald Trump is, as Jared points out,
ever charged with a criminal conspiracy Because he wasn't. He
repeatedly accused the defendant of participating in a criminal conspiracy. Conspiracy, conspiracy.
You know, it's not in the charges because there was
no criminal conspiracy, but that didn't stop the prosecutor from
(21:19):
deceiving the jury. And and you know, he points out,
like a skilled magician, he hopes the pretense will fool them.
And then he slipped in another one and he points out, Oh,
he accused Trump of election fraud. Oh, okay, that's what
this case is about.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Election.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
No, that's not what he's been charged with, ignoring the
fact that the Federal Election Commission examined Trump's payments and
determined there was no fraud because the money conferred did
not qualify as a campaign donation. Federal prosecutors who investigated
this case reached the same conclusion. Gavin Newsom by the
(21:55):
way is saying you better watch it. This over indulgence
in your obsession with Trump is going to backfire.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Less is more.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And then the Biden number three from the Justice Department
uses pejorative terms to portray the Daniels, you know cash
as a nefarious We're talking about one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. And then this this catch and kill device
you know, used by I guess a friend of Trump's
from the National Inquirer.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
You know, it's.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I hate to tell you, this happens in business all
the time. And the idea that Hillary Clinton did that
doesn't bother anybody. And the defense now is even having
to defend themselves. Even The New York Times pointed out
that Bragg's case against Donald Trump is a historic mistake.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I can't even.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Believe they allowed this op ed to be written anyway,
It was written by this guy Sugarman. He said that
he was more concerned than ever about this unprecedented use
of a state law law, and he pointed out in
his essays a Boston University He pointed out in his
essay the Boston University law professor John Handelsman Well Sugarman
(23:11):
argued that Bragg was overreaching in his attempts to try
a federal election crime under New York state law. He said,
the Manhattan DA's allegation against Trump is vague, since the
prosecution failed to specify an election crime or a valid
theory of fraud. But yet they've pulled up what thirty
four counts of falsifying business records. It's actually one, that's
(23:34):
all it is. And it's a misdemeanor whose statute of
limitations at long past unbelievable points out most of them
were entered in early twenty seventeen before Trump filed his
FEC report, that Summer and Trump may have foreseen an
investigation into his campaign, and Trump may have falsely recorded
the internal records before the FFEC filing as quote part
(23:58):
of the fraud. However, a law professor noted that Bragg's
filing in Monday's opening statements don't indicate prosecutors were following
this approach. They're just going off and just throwing out
big words like election interference and conspiracy to defraud, none
of which he's been charged with. Alan Dershowitz, another respected
(24:19):
law professor, and he goes on to argue that this
is one of the worst abuses of prosecution prosecutorial discretion
I've ever seen in sixty years. He said it on
Hannity last night, a practicing law, I've never seen a
worse abuse of prosecutorial discretion ever. And he goes on
(24:39):
to just lay it out there, and they had this
battle of you know, the whether or not this gag
order is legitimate, and a fight between Trump's attorneys and
the judge or losing credibility. Well, why is everybody else
involved in the case allowed to talk and give their
opinions and Trump can't go out and defend himself. Pretty straightforward,
(25:00):
if you're gonna let one side talk, you gotta let
all sides talk.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
There was no crime here. They made it up.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
They have to combine a non existent state misdemeanor beyond
the statutal limitations, tie it to a federal felony which
was not prosecuted by the federal government that did look
at it. And all of this is just the way
that I guess American justice works under a weaponized justice
system of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden. Oh, Donald Trump
(25:30):
put on truth social this and you put on truth
social that American law is supposed to have a crime.
Drshaw had said, and then you look for who committed it,
not first decide who you want to prosecute and then
rummage through the statute books to find some technical violation.
Unless they're continuing to do this, then it's going to spread,
(25:52):
and it's going to be a precedent of American justice
that if you run for president, your opponent's going to
try and find something on you. That is the stuff
of a banana republic. That is not what the United
States is supposed to stand for. And it's not. But
this is the world that we're living in. This is
the world of a weaponized justice system. Wall Street Journal,
(26:15):
you know, weighing in pretty much saying the same thing.
Dershowitz again, prosecutors of violating voters writes, with this trial
and it just goes on and on and on, and
Donald Trump now has to spend the next month six
weeks in a courtroom while the field is wide open
to Joe Biden a campaign any place anytime he wants,
(26:36):
and Trump spending seventy six million dollars draining his funds
to fight Biden in the campaign, which is only one
hundred and ninety five days away. Shockingly, Michael Avenati said, yep,
Trump's a victim of the of the system. He said
that in a Fox News interview. That's pretty interesting to me,
considering his position in this case or what it was
(26:57):
in this case. And it just goes on and on
and on and this, if they have their way, for
the next one hundred and ninety five days, Donald Trump
will be in a courtroom in New York. He will
be in a courtroom in DC. He'll be in a
courtroom in Fulton County, Georgia. He'll be in a courtroom
in Florida. And then, oh, then we get to election day.
(27:19):
At what point does America and the polls show that
Americans see this, At what point do you say enough
is enough? They can't And I think Stephen A. Smith
was really onto something. They can't beat him, They don't
have confidence they can beat him. So instead they're going
(27:39):
to try to weaponize the justice system. Meanwhile, Joe Biden
doesn't know what day of the week it is. You
can't make any of this stuff up. It's pretty bad,
by the way. Uh Biden apparently is pressing on with
a visit to Syracuse after two cops were slain despite
pushback from law enforcement or grieving the loss of their
fellow officers.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
They don't want him to go.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
By the way, Biden in big trouble because he implied
his uncle was eating by cannibals. Now New Guinea's Prime
minister is furious. I told you about that yesterday. And
now Warhouse College is going to have Joe give their
commencement exercise and they're scared to death. Joe Biden's going
to bring with him a lot of protesters. By the way,
(28:25):
Biden tries to have it both ways, condemning the anti
Semitic protests on college campuses and people that don't understand
the Palestinian situation.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh, sounds like.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh, what the media hated about Donald Trump's Charlottesville comment,
at which he said, I'm not talking about the neo
Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned. He
said that the media didn't report it, but you had
other people on the other side other than the neo
Nazi white nationalists. Then he went back to say, yeah,
(28:58):
this other group of people had a lot of bad
people in the other group, a lot of them. But
why why let details get in the way of a
good lie, political lie eight hundred and nine four one Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program,
And thank you Scott Channon. Thanks to all of you
for being with us. We appreciate you being here. Here's
our toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and ninety
four to one Sean if you want to be a
part of the program. I didn't think i'd be starting
with Alec Baldwin today, and I won't spend that much
time on it, but I found this very, very interesting
and I can't actually believe. I never thought that they
(00:21):
would come that I'm going to actually support Alec Baldwin.
I've had my fights with him over the years. You know,
missed the Father of the Year, and you know, we
had one, we had a couple of classic Twitter wars
back in the day when I was on social media,
which I am not anymore. And you know, I'm going
to play this tape for you. And he goes in
(00:42):
to buy a cup of coffee and there's a anti
Israeli agitator there who just is demanding just say one time, Alec,
one time, free Palestine, say a one time. He's in
a coffee shop trying to get a cop of coffee,
go home and be you know, not bothering anybody. This
person will not stop harassing him, you know, and the individual,
(01:07):
the actor, while he appeared to be on the phone,
probably well he really was, and it was just a
way to ignore the person. And at the cash register
at the shop, and just this person relentlessly harassing this guy, Alex.
One time, just say free Palestine one time, goes on
and on and on. Just one time. I'll leave you alone.
(01:27):
I'll leave you alone if you say one time. Then
she blurts out f Israel, f Zionism, and then adds,
why did you kill that lady?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Alec?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And killed that lady and got no jail time. Well,
he has a trial in July. In terms of the
cinematographer hutchins, And it is while it's a felony, it is,
you know, involuntary homicide, it's not it's it's it's gonna be,
you know, we'll see what happens. But put all of
(01:57):
that aside. This lady's such a jackass. Whoever, this person
is harassing the hell out of the guy. Which is
you know, which does any decent person act like this?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Let me play it for.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
You, Alec, can you please say free Palstine one time?
Why did you kill that lady? You kill that lady
and got no jail time. No jail time, Alex, No
jail time, Alex. You're putting innocent people in jail, Alec Baldwin.
Free Palistine, Alex, just one time, and I'll leave you alone.
(02:30):
I'll leave you alone, I swear. Just say free Palestine
one time, one time, one time, one time. Alex. You
a criminal.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know he's a criminal.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Come on, Alex, just say free Palistine one time, one time,
just one time, please, and I'll leave you alone. Free Palestine, Israel, Zionism.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Please say it one time. He just smacked the phone
out of a lady's hand.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You know the worst part of this is, you know,
in a screwed up city like New York, he's going
to end up on the other end of this having
to defend himself. And that's how sick and twisted and
bizarre our system of justice is in this country. It's
pretty unreal. We have a lot of news today. We
(03:25):
have a lot of news over what's going on in
the Trump trial. We have a lot of news what's
going on in college campuses. And I will tell you
what we are witnessing on these college campuses. Ought to
scare the living hell out of any decent American because
what we're hearing is just I didn't think we'd ever
(03:46):
be debating this in the course of doing this program
when I started on radio years ago. And as a result,
you know, we hear the death to America, Chalance, we
are Hamas chance, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Columbia.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Now you know, meanwhile, well the courtyard in Colombia has
been taken over by a bunch of radicals. They now
have had to put their classes online. You have a
rabbi on campus saying that any Jewish student needs to
needs to, you know, stay away from the campus. It's
not safe for them. And then of course you got
you know, beginning with the Jewish holiday of Passover, one
(04:20):
of the most important religious festivals in the Jewish calendar.
They celebrate the feast to pass Over to commemorate the
liberation of the children of Israel who were let out
of Egypt by Moses. And anyway, just hours before the
commencement of Passover, Joe Biden. You know, it's it's sort
of like, really Joe, because he ends up, you know,
(04:41):
talking about the Prohamas protesters lavishing praise on you know,
one of the squad members which have their anti Semitic wing.
In this case, it was AOC and the message from
the Biden White House was you know about this. Well,
I condemned the anti Semitic protest. I also condemned those
(05:02):
who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians. Now,
hold on a second, and a lot of people have
rightly pointed out, Oh, I thought that's what the left
got all worked up about when they talked about this
whole issue of Donald Trump and the issue of Charlottesville. Now,
(05:26):
if you look at the whole comment, I went back
and looked at it. You're changing history, you're changing culture,
and you had people.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Now listen to this part. This is what Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And remember the media, Oh, he's praising the neo Nazis
in Charlottesville. He said, I'm not talking about the neo
Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.
But you had many people in that group other than
the neo Nazis and the white nationalists, and the press
(05:57):
has treated them absolutely early. Now in the other group,
in the other group, he had some fine people, but
you also had trouble makers, and you see them come
back with their black outfits and with their helmets and
their baseball bats. And you got a lot of bad people,
a lot of bad people in that other group. Oh well,
(06:18):
what's the difference with what Joe Biden is saying. But
of course the mob, the media, Oh, they won't see
an analogy at all. But now the kids at Columbia
will have to finish their classes online. The campus still
remains pretty much under siege. President Trump has weighed in
on this and he called it a total disgrace, and
he said it's really on Biden. He's got the wrong signal,
(06:41):
he's got the wrong tone, he's got the wrong words,
he doesn't know who he's backing, and it's a complete mess.
If this were me, they'd be after me, they'd be
after me so much. But they're trying to give him
a pass on what's going on. And it's a disgrace
to our country. And it's Biden's fault because Biden has
not had the moral clarity that a president you would
expect to have from a president on this. I mean,
(07:04):
Professor Dershowitz, you know, was on Hannity last night and
he actually he said, look what I'm going to say
is very controversial. This is more dangerous than January sixth,
he said, because those didn't involve as many students, not
as many elite people, not as many as future leaders.
And we are Hamas, in other words, what we're rapists.
(07:25):
And think about this, this is Joe Biden. Have we
really forgotten what happened on October the seventh, the murder,
the rape, the beheadings, the kidnappings. Have we really forgotten
the biggest terror attack in Israel's history? And now the
Biden State Department is citing Israel with human rights abuses, Well,
(07:48):
what about the abuses?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
The people that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Are responsible for all of this would be the terrorist
group Hamas that has in their charter the destruction of Israel.
And it's not just Colobe, It's not just NYU, it's
not just Mit, it's now Harvard, it's Yale, it's Berkeley.
It's happening all around the country. You know, you have
(08:11):
you know Obama, by the way of Columbia alumni is
he's been silent. We now learned the university has all
of these tenured professors that are are repulsive anti Semites
that celebrated the terrorist attack of October the seventh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know, it's one.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
One House democrat actually said he'd be worried to send
his children to Columbia after watching this. We got more
protest planned for NYU. I actually went to n YU
for a year. We saw them protesting during Hannity last night.
And the radicals now are controlling these college campuses, and
these presidents don't have the moral clarity to say no,
(08:52):
I mean and think about this. The college campus is
that you can get expelled from if you use the
wrong pronoun And colleges now they don't know what to do.
They're paralyzed by all of this. Harvard, Yeah, Colombia, Mit, Berkeley,
and it keeps going on and on. You had another
story out today about a Jewish student of Columbia, you know,
(09:12):
saying it these anti Israeli protests snatched and burned his
Israeli flag, struck him in the face with rocks during
the unrest that took place over the weekend. He was
displaying the flag before ten pm. You know, elite schools
now the New York Post out of column. They're turning
into Hamas university. Anti Semitism is running rampant. You want
(09:34):
to talk about a scary generational statistic. Youah, nearly half
of Generation Z voters are sympathetic towards the terrorist group Amas,
according to a Summit dot org RMG research survey. Wow,
do you think Israel's wealth and the military power make
it its campaign against Tamas unjust? Well, most voters across
(09:56):
the board believe Israel's campaign is just, you know, compared
to twenty one percent to believe it's unjust. Only forty
two percent of voters aged eighteen to twenty four. Well,
these are Joe Biden voters that he's been losing in droves.
If he does a little bit of help, it gives
a little bit of help to Israel, which is the
bare minimum. You know, where where is the president's moral
(10:19):
compass to stand up against radical Islamic terrorist groups like
hamas I pointed out on TV last night, Since two
thousand and five, the tens and tens of thousands of
rockets that have been fired from Gaza into Israel. I've
been there, I've seen it. I've been there during a
flare up, I've seen it with my own eyes. And
(10:40):
now this is just running rampant, and none of these
college professors have any idea how to deal with this.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's not that hard. You if you're going.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
To enforce such strict woke regulations as pronoun you know,
proper usage, and you're so politically correct, then you ought
not be allowed to do this and take over the
campus the way they've taken it over and chant you know,
we are Hamas and we support Hamas and all the
(11:13):
hostility that are being brought towards Jewish students. It's unbelievable.
But they still set up their tents. They're now setting
him up on other college campuses. This is now growing
out of control. By the way, down in Florida, they
didn't put up with this crap. Yet all of this happening,
you know, starting at the Golden gate Bridge Columbia University.
Now it's spreading like a cancer. And what happened Ron
(11:36):
DeSantis stopped it right in its tracks. You can't stop
it if you have the will to do it. Robert Kraft,
who have known for many many years, owner of the
New England Patriots, he was on Hannity last night and
he literally says that he's going to stop donating to Columbia.
He's donated a fortune. It was through a full academic scholarship.
(11:58):
He wrote to Columbia that gave me that I was,
that I was able to attend in college and get
my start in life.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And I have.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I've been tremendously grateful. However, the school I love so much,
the one that welcomed me and provided me with so
much opportunity, is no longer an institution I recognize. I'm
deeply sadden at the virulent hate that continues to grow
on campus and throughout our country. I am no longer
confident Columbia. It's students and staff. I'm not comfortable supporting
(12:28):
the university until corrective action has been taken. And then
and he says, they hope they'll stay, they're not standing up.
This is the problem. You saw all of this unfolding
last night, you know, with you know, on the campus
of New York University, and then the police had to
you know, arrest hundreds and kick people out. Then during
(12:51):
my my show at nine Eastern, they were walking through
the streets.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It was pretty unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The only two senators are are Timson Scott and John
Fetterman calling for the Columbia president to step down. It's unbelievable.
But this is life in America when now we don't
have the moral clarity. And Joe Biden cares more about
the votes that he lost in Hamas and I'm sorry,
(13:20):
the votes that he lost in Michigan at of people
rebelling against his support of Israel against Hamas and he
lost eighteen point nine percent of Democratic presidential primary voters.
And so now he's telling Israel, yeah, we support you,
but we're not going to support you defending yourself against
Iran firing missiles into your country. Why because he wants
(13:44):
those radicals to vote for him. That is the only
reason he's doing it. You know, he talks about the
urgent concern over Israel, and god's the human rights and
the State Department now attacking Israel. Where are their statements
against the terrorist group PAMAS for crying out loud?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's repulsive, all of it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Back to New York and this sham of a trial
with Donald Trump. I mean, it's really insane everything that
I keep laying out to you. It's insane that the
judge in the case voted or i'm sorry, donated it.
I'm sure he voted also, but donated to Joe Biden
in twenty twenty. Then you've got the other conflict of
(14:31):
interest involving a family member. Then you have the issue
of the statute of limitations have run out on what
would otherwise be. It's really all about a bookkeeping error
and the fact that they said it was a business
expense and they went into a non disclosure agreement, which,
(14:51):
for those of you that don't know, probably every big
company in America has gone into numerous ones, and it's
it's basically often a financial calculation. How much would I
have to spend in legal fees? How much do I
pay to make an agreement with this person that has
whatever whatever grievance they may have, whether it's legitimate or not,
(15:16):
they'll make a financial calculation to either do it or
not do it, or maybe they did something wrong and
they just say, okay, let's settle this between ourselves, and
they settle it. They have a non disclosure agreement end
of the day. But you know, Jonathan Turley, and there's
so many smart lawyers that have weighed in on this,
and they're just right. And he called this this trial
(15:36):
and embarrassment. He's a Democrat, he's a professor, but he
cares about the law, And he said, the fact that
we're talking about this case being presented in a New
York courtroom leaves me in utter disbelief. The arguments in
this case capture all of the problems.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Here.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You had a misdemeanor under state law whose statute of
limitation said run out. This is a case that goes
back to twenty sixteen. They've had eight years to litigate this,
but they never did.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then they.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Try to use a federal law, you know, going back
this far that doesn't exist, as he points out, and
in terms of election laws, as a means of bringing
these charges, which should never have been accepted by any
judge that really cared about the rule of law and
the truth. This is the weaponization of our legal system.
(16:33):
This is what we've been telling you about. And by
the way, Turley then made a comparison that's applicable here
because if you remember Hillary Clinton, remember she paid for
the Steele dossier. Remember how she paid for it. She
paid for it as a quote legal expense sound familiar.
And she hired a law firm, Perkins Cooey. That was
(16:55):
the legal expense that they claimed it was Perkins Cooey
hired op research firm Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS highest former
MI six official, Christopher Steel. He puts together a series
of documents. They became known as the Steel Dossier. You know,
remember when when they funded the dossier, which they denied
(17:17):
to reporters, they put it as a legal expense, and
they fought the eventual fine, but they received from the
federal government saying, well, it was a legal expense. Now
you got the same Democrats supporting this bizarre theory against
Donald Trump, and the prosecution being led in part, by
the way, by a guy who gave opening arguments who
(17:40):
was actually the US Associate Associate Attorney General under Biden.
They brought in a Trump hater from the Biden administration
who's leading opening arguments and maybe all the arguments for
Alvin Bragg. And anyway, you support the accurs Hey, this
(18:01):
is coordinated the fact that most people in most courts
would be like, whooooo, you have a former Biden Justice
Department attorney that left his position just to do this
case for Alvin Bragg and get Donald Trump, and that
somehow Trump orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the twenty
sixteen election. Well, people go into non disclosure agreements for
(18:24):
all sorts of reasons. And if it has to do
with what Stormy Daniels, who, though in writing denied that
you ever had an affair with Donald Trump and ever
was paid hush money just to put us an aside,
you know, then maybe the real rationale or reason might
have been, well, maybe I don't want my spouse to
find out. Not saying I agree with it, I'm just
(18:46):
saying that would be a motivation for many people. You know,
Andy McCarthy writing why do we call this a hush
money trial? And he talked about the media democratic complex.
They love salacious overtones that you know, you know that
is implied there. But if Trump robbed a bank or whatever,
you know, it's you know, we'd be talking about the crime.
(19:09):
The problem, he writes, is that the Democrats and the
medium mob elected progressive prosecutor Alvin Bragg, And is this
is what they what they want.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
To accuse Trump of, in his words, is not a crime. Yeah. Sure.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Bragg indicted Trump on business record falsification offense, a misdemeanor,
had abusively tried to inflate into thirty four felonies, which
in and of itself is beyond the pal They use
all these opening arguments, Oh, conspiracy to commit election for
that's not what this case is about. That's not what
he's been charged with four years, you know, telling the
(19:47):
American people Trump is the most profound threat to our
constitutional order.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
But Bragg's elaboration.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Of Trump's supposed criminal scheme laid out in the statement
of facts or so called that he penned and published
when the indictment was unsealed, you know, it shows what
he's accusing Trump of is not a criminal conspiracy. And
that is why Democrats and their medium mob allies have
to say hush money trial, because that's not what they're
(20:15):
alleging here. They're not even alleging a conspiracy. Everything they
said in their opening remarks is not even part of
the trial. I like Greg Jarrett's take on this. He
called it, you know, hocus pocus. It's a meaningless distraction
or illusion that is intended to fool. In this case,
the jury and the DA hopes to basically snooker this
(20:35):
Manhattan jury into convicting the former president with a bag
of legal tricks. He says, the first slight of hand
happened the moment. The lead prosecutor addressed the jurors during
the opening comments on Monday, and the assistant Da Biden's
former number three official at the Justice Department that we
know is weaponized, said, this case is about a criminal conspiracy. Well,
(20:58):
then why wasn't Donald Trump is, as Jared points out,
ever charged with a criminal conspiracy Because he wasn't. He
repeatedly accused the defendant of participating in a criminal conspiracy. Conspiracy, conspiracy.
You know, it's not in the charges because there was
no criminal conspiracy, but that didn't stop the prosecutor from
(21:19):
deceiving the jury. And and you know, he points out,
like a skilled magician, he hopes the pretense will fool them.
And then he slipped in another one and he points out, Oh,
he accused Trump of election fraud. Oh, okay, that's what
this case is about.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Election.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
No, that's not what he's been charged with, ignoring the
fact that the Federal Election Commission examined Trump's payments and
determined there was no fraud because the money conferred did
not qualify as a campaign donation. Federal prosecutors who investigated
this case reached the same conclusion. Gavin Newsom by the
(21:55):
way is saying you better watch it. This over indulgence
in your obsession with Trump is going to backfire.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Less is more.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And then the Biden number three from the Justice Department
uses pejorative terms to portray the Daniels, you know cash
as a nefarious We're talking about one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. And then this this catch and kill device
you know, used by I guess a friend of Trump's
from the National Inquirer.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
You know, it's.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I hate to tell you, this happens in business all
the time. And the idea that Hillary Clinton did that
doesn't bother anybody. And the defense now is even having
to defend themselves. Even The New York Times pointed out
that Bragg's case against Donald Trump is a historic mistake.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I can't even.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Believe they allowed this op ed to be written anyway,
It was written by this guy Sugarman. He said that
he was more concerned than ever about this unprecedented use
of a state law law, and he pointed out in
his essays a Boston University He pointed out in his
essay the Boston University law professor John Handelsman Well Sugarman
(23:11):
argued that Bragg was overreaching in his attempts to try
a federal election crime under New York state law. He said,
the Manhattan DA's allegation against Trump is vague, since the
prosecution failed to specify an election crime or a valid
theory of fraud. But yet they've pulled up what thirty
four counts of falsifying business records. It's actually one, that's
(23:34):
all it is. And it's a misdemeanor whose statute of
limitations at long past unbelievable points out most of them
were entered in early twenty seventeen before Trump filed his
FEC report, that Summer and Trump may have foreseen an
investigation into his campaign, and Trump may have falsely recorded
the internal records before the FFEC filing as quote part
(23:58):
of the fraud. However, a law professor noted that Bragg's
filing in Monday's opening statements don't indicate prosecutors were following
this approach. They're just going off and just throwing out
big words like election interference and conspiracy to defraud, none
of which he's been charged with. Alan Dershowitz, another respected
(24:19):
law professor, and he goes on to argue that this
is one of the worst abuses of prosecution prosecutorial discretion
I've ever seen in sixty years. He said it on
Hannity last night, a practicing law, I've never seen a
worse abuse of prosecutorial discretion ever. And he goes on
(24:39):
to just lay it out there, and they had this
battle of you know, the whether or not this gag
order is legitimate, and a fight between Trump's attorneys and
the judge or losing credibility. Well, why is everybody else
involved in the case allowed to talk and give their
opinions and Trump can't go out and defend himself. Pretty straightforward,
(25:00):
if you're gonna let one side talk, you gotta let
all sides talk.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
There was no crime here. They made it up.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
They have to combine a non existent state misdemeanor beyond
the statutal limitations, tie it to a federal felony which
was not prosecuted by the federal government that did look
at it. And all of this is just the way
that I guess American justice works under a weaponized justice
system of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden. Oh, Donald Trump
(25:30):
put on truth social this and you put on truth
social that American law is supposed to have a crime.
Drshaw had said, and then you look for who committed it,
not first decide who you want to prosecute and then
rummage through the statute books to find some technical violation.
Unless they're continuing to do this, then it's going to spread,
(25:52):
and it's going to be a precedent of American justice
that if you run for president, your opponent's going to
try and find something on you. That is the stuff
of a banana republic. That is not what the United
States is supposed to stand for. And it's not. But
this is the world that we're living in. This is
the world of a weaponized justice system. Wall Street Journal,
(26:15):
you know, weighing in pretty much saying the same thing.
Dershowitz again, prosecutors of violating voters writes, with this trial
and it just goes on and on and on, and
Donald Trump now has to spend the next month six
weeks in a courtroom while the field is wide open
to Joe Biden a campaign any place anytime he wants,
(26:36):
and Trump spending seventy six million dollars draining his funds
to fight Biden in the campaign, which is only one
hundred and ninety five days away. Shockingly, Michael Avenati said, yep,
Trump's a victim of the of the system. He said
that in a Fox News interview. That's pretty interesting to me,
considering his position in this case or what it was
(26:57):
in this case. And it just goes on and on
and on and this, if they have their way, for
the next one hundred and ninety five days, Donald Trump
will be in a courtroom in New York. He will
be in a courtroom in DC. He'll be in a
courtroom in Fulton County, Georgia. He'll be in a courtroom
in Florida. And then, oh, then we get to election day.
(27:19):
At what point does America and the polls show that
Americans see this, At what point do you say enough
is enough? They can't And I think Stephen A. Smith
was really onto something. They can't beat him, They don't
have confidence they can beat him. So instead they're going
(27:39):
to try to weaponize the justice system. Meanwhile, Joe Biden
doesn't know what day of the week it is. You
can't make any of this stuff up. It's pretty bad,
by the way. Uh Biden apparently is pressing on with
a visit to Syracuse after two cops were slain despite
pushback from law enforcement or grieving the loss of their
fellow officers.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
They don't want him to go.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
By the way, Biden in big trouble because he implied
his uncle was eating by cannibals. Now New Guinea's Prime
minister is furious. I told you about that yesterday. And
now Warhouse College is going to have Joe give their
commencement exercise and they're scared to death. Joe Biden's going
to bring with him a lot of protesters. By the way,
(28:25):
Biden tries to have it both ways, condemning the anti
Semitic protests on college campuses and people that don't understand
the Palestinian situation.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh, sounds like.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh, what the media hated about Donald Trump's Charlottesville comment,
at which he said, I'm not talking about the neo
Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned. He
said that the media didn't report it, but you had
other people on the other side other than the neo
Nazi white nationalists. Then he went back to say, yeah,
(28:58):
this other group of people had a lot of bad
people in the other group, a lot of them. But
why why let details get in the way of a
good lie, political lie eight hundred and nine four one Sean,
