00:00He needs to be president or else we're all going to die.

00:03Today I'm here outside of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue

00:06where Donald Trump is expected to host his first official speech

00:09after being convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York.

00:14As you can see it's very crowded right now.

00:16We have a mixture of pedestrians and then a couple of very enthusiastic Donald Trump supporters.

00:23What brings you out here today?

00:24Support of Trump.

00:25We're here to support him and I think this is the best thing that's happened to him yet.

00:29And how did you feel yesterday after the conviction?

00:31It wasn't a conviction. Everyone knew this was going to happen.

00:34I wanted them to find him guilty. I think his pose just went up.

00:38Honestly I'm feeling mixed emotions.

00:40I think Trump was guilty as he was found and I'm glad to see him being held accountable.

00:45But I am really sad at the spectacle of it all and the number of Americans that are getting fed misinformation.

00:52It's very sad to see it but today we got another 34 reasons why to vote for President Trump in the 2024 election.

01:00American is a big, big joke.

01:02If you could describe the conviction and the trial in one word, what would it be?

01:07Phony.

01:08Rigged.

01:08Fair.

01:09Unfair.

01:10Fair.

01:10Relief.

01:11Disgusting.

01:12Crooked.

01:13Witch hunt.

01:14Travesty.

01:14Finally.

01:15I'm from New York City and we know the guy.

01:18He's been a fraud for more than 35 years and now he's gone.

01:21So we're happy. I'm happy.
