00:00Well, guys, I had to come down and witness the Bolshevik show trials for myself.

00:06What's going on here is an absolute farce, and anyone in America should be embarrassed

00:12at the absolute miscarriage of justice that we're seeing here.

00:16There's no crime.

00:18The only problem is the witnesses who are experts in these things aren't allowed to

00:21actually testify to that because you have a rigged system.

00:26You have a judge whose daughter is making millions, millions, off of this very case.

00:32But you know what?

00:33That's not a problem in New York City.

00:35We're just going to allow it.

00:36When our defense goes after arguably the least credible witnesses in the history of, I don't

00:44know, witnesses, you're not allowed to ask the damning questions of them.

00:49The star witness in this case is a what?

00:51Nine times convicted liar.

00:54And now, now, an admitted thief.

00:58That is who they're hanging the entire case on.

01:01The other one happens to be a porn star.

01:03Not exactly, not exactly the ultimate form of jurisprudence here.

01:09But that's what you have.

01:10And what it's doing is setting a disastrous precedent for our legal system for justice

01:16in America.

01:17If it can happen to Donald Trump, and if they will try to do this to someone like Donald

01:21Trump with a platform, hundreds of millions of followers, the ability to fight, they will

01:28do it to anyone.

01:29They have weaponized this system against their political enemies, and they've started to

01:33go down a very dangerous and a very slippery slope.

01:38This insanity cannot stand.

01:40This kind of bias cannot be allowed to happen in the United States of America or anywhere

01:46else.

01:47If this is going on right now in a third world banana republic, there would be people screaming

01:52about it.

01:53You people, the media would be outraged instead, because I presume you're fine with whatever

01:58the results are, as long as it's against Donald Trump.

02:01Your silence is deafening and it's disgusting.

02:04This cannot stand and it cannot allow to continue.

02:07John, why'd you feel the need to come down here?

02:12Because you have no choice.

02:13And again, I wasn't a political guy my whole life.

02:15I may have been a conservative.

02:17We used to change the skyline of this city.

02:19We built buildings.

02:20But once you get involved and you see the disasters created, especially by this current

02:25administration, you understand that you have to fight.

02:27You have to leave our country to our children in a way that they can recognize it.

02:31You have to fight for the freedoms that we have enjoyed our entire lives.

02:35They are all at risk right now.

02:37They are all on the table, and that's unacceptable.
