Get it outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in New York City as they are bracing for a indictment of former President Donald Trump. The Governor Ron DeSantis responds. If you want to be a week, kids, welcome back to the show. Glad you're here, 855-839-1210. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and happy spring. We're here. And the spring political season, fully underway right now, as this looming indictment of former President Donald Trump has expected,

particularly tomorrow, although there's a lot of conflicting reports on it too, I'm not totally convinced it's going to happen, but only the District Attorney Alvin Bragg knows. Apparently, the Grand Jury, they still had to interview another person, so I don't know if they're actually going to do it. It seems like they are. I mean, it seems like they're going to make this indictment. They shouldn't. This is not the kind of thing that rises to the level of indicting a former President of the United States of America. It's not to say that presidents or former presidents are above the law. It's not that.

We've always in this country given a great deal of latitude when it came to prosecuting our political enemies. You remember that from 2016? We heard a lot about that when it came to Hillary Clinton. Did we not? A lot about prosecuting our political enemies. So that's why you have to be very, very, very careful. It doesn't seem like Alvin Bragg, the District Attorney of New York City is being very, very careful here. It seems like what they want to do is a political stunt. That's only going to help Trump. I mean, it's only going to help him. You know, it's like every time they go

after him, he winds up getting stronger. His base gets more inspired and more fired up. But you think they would learn this lesson by now. After two impeachments, investigations, after investigation and competing investigations in multiple States, but they don't, they don't learn that lesson. And so they were here at this point right now. The person who's hoping he gets indicted the most at this point is probably Trump. I mean, that's sincerely. He's not going to look. He's not going to go to jail. They're not going to find him guilty, but he's also not going to be in jail. I mean, this is going to be a kind of thing where you

if anything you smile for the camera, you give him your prints and then you, you know, you go home. There's not a judge. It's going to keep him there. He's not a flight risk. He's surrounded by a secret service. They know where the guy is. There's no reason to keep him. So, and New York has a ridiculously easy bail system anyway. So that's not even an issue. He'll beat the charges in court. I mean, this is a, this is this idea of paying hush money, which is what the allegation is. And then then deducting that as a business expense or something. I mean, it's, it's

a misdemeanor, not a felony. And it really does not rise to the level of inditing a, the former president who is, you could argue, the front runner for the nomination for the presidency of the United States of America, which by the way, is why I told you when Trump announced so early, I told you this is why he was going to do it because he, he had a sense that an indictment was coming. Let's face it. They're going after him in New York, going after him in Georgia, they're going after him in the District of Columbia, they're going after him in the federal level, they're going after him at the state level. So at some point,

you figured some entities going to indict him. And by being a declared candidate, it does look like it's politics. It looks political. It is. I mean, it's no question it is, but it looks that way too, which then gives him the ability then to capitalize on that. And to say so, which of course he's going to do. Now, Ron DeSantis is the person who least wants this to happen. He governor of Florida, who did put out a statement today, he used the opportunity to go after the District Attorney

and also to take shots at who would probably be his opponent, assuming he runs for president of the United States. And look, you know, Trump takes shots at him. The Santa's is going to take shots at Trump. I mean, that's just what you do in politics. It's a, it's a big boy game. I don't really care about that. But it's something he doesn't want to have happened. He doesn't because he does not need this to be about Trump. And it, it's the kind of thing where it looks like, yes, you have a woke district attorney in New York,

but it was all about politics, who let's criminals were on the streets and then goes after the former president who's just, who's had everybody come after him at every single turn along the way, at every step along the way. It helps him. I mean, he even got the governor of New Hampshire, so new, new even coming out and saying this probably helps Trump. Of course it does. Every time they've taken shots at him in the past, it's helped him. And you know, I hear people say things like, well, yeah, but independent voters are this or that. I don't know how many of those voters.

I mean, at this point, you know who the guy is. You may hate him. You may love him, but you're going to make a policy decision. That's all you're going to make is a policy decision at this point. These are, this is one very defined candidate. So I don't think an indictment matters to anyone. I really don't. I don't, I don't, you don't have to go to some far sub Saharan African brush to find five people on the world. There doesn't know who he is. So everybody has their minds made up already. So let's face it.

Is this really going to change anybody's opinion? No, it will have the effect, of course, of making his supporters more emboldened. And then people are going to shrug and go, well, you know, I mean, it's Trump and there you go. And then they're going to make a policy decision.

Do I feel better after four years of Biden, assuming that Biden's a nominee, then I do when he was president, and I'd say the answer that's probably going to be a big fat. No, is who can honestly really truly, if they're being, if they're being honest, say that America's better off now than it was then.

Policy wise, you can't, you can't say that you, you may, you may think America's better off without mean tweets, but you can't say it's better off with higher gas prices and less energy independence and the war in Ukraine and

Eggs, they're not even selling eggs, a dollar freaking general anymore. There's no, they're not selling eggs, a daughter, dollar general, because they're too expensive now, the sell a dollar general. So if you're looking at a purely policy, which is how voters at this point are going to make their minds up. Let's face it.

We're going to make those decisions, but why is Alvin Bragg doing this, and the district attorney of Manhattan, because like every other Democrat, they think that this is what is deserved. They think that Trump has us coming.

And if it's not for push money payments, then it's really for January six, and we're just getting him for this, like how they got Al Capone for income tax evasion, when really we know it was all the other things.

They do have that mindset. They definitely have that mindset, a guy like Alvin Bragg, the district attorney of Manhattan. Oh, he definitely has that mindset. All the people around his university too. And let's see, James, the attorney general of New York, she has that mindset. Don't forget. She ran for president. She ran for the attorney general of New York on a platform of prosecuting Donald Trump. That was her platform. It wasn't about going after even white collar criminals. It was about going after him. So she's got that mindset too.

Democrats have that mindset, and they do look at it like it's the Al Capone issue. If we can't get him for all the things we know he did. Well, then we'll get him on this little thing.

We'll get him on this technicality that really is just a misdemeanor and does not deserve this kind of a, well, we never in this country's history of indicted former president of the United States. So we never done that before.

So to argue that this rises to that level over this, you'd have to be crazy. But in their mind, it's not about this. It's about all the other things he's done.

And this is just how they get him. Like Capone forgot the file income tax tax releases for how many years that he forget to file a return seven years, whatever it was 13 years, whatever it was, that's their mindset of this.
