C-SPAN. YOUR UNFILTERED VIEW OF
POLITICS.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS
REPORTING ON THE SECOND DAY OF
DONALD TRUMP'S HUSH MONEY TRIAL,
IN WHICH SEVEN JURORS WERE
SELECTED, INCLUDING AN
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY WORKER,
AND ENGLISH TEACHER, ONCOLOGY
NURSE, SALES PROFESSIONAL, A
SOFTWARE ENGINEER AND TWO
LAWYERS.
THIS COMES AFTER DOZENS OF
POTENTIAL JURORS WERE EXCUSED
OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS BECAUSE
THEY COULD NOT BE IMPARTIAL.
11 MORE MUST STILL BE SWORN IN
AS JURORS BEFORE OPENING
STATEMENTS CAN BEGIN AS EARLY AS
NEXT WEEK.
TRUMP'S SPOKE WITH REPORTERS
ABOUT THE TRIAL AND ANSWERED
QUESTIONS AS HE VISITED A LOCAL
CONVENIENCE STORE IN UPPER
MANHATTAN.
DONALD TRUMP: THE TRIAL IS
MOVING ALONG.
WE HAVE A JUDGE WHO IS
ABSOLUTELY OUT OF PLACE, HE
SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO IT.
HE IS CONFLICTED LIKE NO ONE HAS
EVER BEEN CONFLICTED.
THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME FOR
ME BECAUSE THE BODEGA, THE
ASSOCIATION INVITED ME AND I
RESPECT THEM AND THEY RESPECT
ME. THEY WANT LAW AND ORDER.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF CRIME,
TREMENDOUS CRIME.
THEIR STORES ARE BEING ROBBED.
WE ARE GOING TO GIVE NEW YORK A
VERY GOOD SHOT FOR THE
PRESIDENCY. WE THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO
IT, A LOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
THIS JUDGE IS SO CONFLICTED, YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A JUDGE SO CONFLICTED.
IT'S RIDICULOUS.
AND ALSO THERE IS NO CRIME.
YOU KNOW WHERE THE CRIME IS?
IT IS IN THE BODEGAS.
ANYBODY THAT IS FAIR.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW AFTER THE
TRIAL.
WE ARE APPEALING.
IF YOU LOOK, IF YOU TAKE A GOOD
STRONG LOOK, EVERY LEGAL
SCHOLAR, EVERY LEGAL PUNDIT SAID
THERE SHOULD BE NO TRIAL.
NOTHING WAS DONE WRONG.
THIS IS ALL POLITICS COMING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
IT MAKES ME CAMPAIGN LOCALLY.
AND THAT'S OK.
[SHOUTING]
WE ARE DOING BETTER NOW THAN WE
HAVE EVER DONE.
ALL I WANT IS FAIRNESS.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE TREATED
FAIRLY. THE BODEGA ASSOCIATION.
BODEGAS.
BECAUSE EVERY WEEK THEY ARE BEING ROBBED TWO OR THREE TIMES.
IT'S CRAZY.
THE POLICE CAN DO IT, THEY CAN
STOP IT, THEY HAVE TO BE ALLOWED
TO DO THEIR JOB.
[SHOUTING]
GIVE THEM HOPE TO RESTORE THE
AMERICAN DREAM.
ATLANTA, NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA,
CHICAGO, D.C.
THE POLICE HAVE TO BE GIVEN BACK
THEIR AUTHORITY.
THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR
JOB.
WE ARE MAKING A BIG PLAY FOR NEW
YORK.
I LOVE THIS CITY.
IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD IN THE LAST
THREE YEARS, FOR YEARS, AND WE
ARE GOING TO STRAIGHTEN NEW YORK
OUT.
SO RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, WE ARE
PUTTING A BIG HIT FOR NEW YORK.
[INAUDIBLE]
THEY TOOK OVER YOUR PARK, THEY
TOOK OVER YOUR HOTELS, THEY TOOK
OVER EVERYTHING AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, THEY HAVE
DESTROYED SO MANY PEOPLE.
THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
NOW IS NOT GETTING JOBS,
MIGRANTS ARE TAKING THEIR JOBS
THAT ARE HERE ILLEGALLY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE UNEMPLOYMENT,
THE UNEMPLOYMENT IS GOOD FOR MIGRANTS NOW.
IT WENT UP 10% ON MIGRANTS AND
THEY ARE IN OUR COUNTRY AND THEY
ARE COMING FROM PRISONS, I DO
NOT KNOW IF YOU KNOW, THEY ARE
COMING FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS,
PRISONS, PLACES YOU DO NOT WANT
TO KNOW ABOUT, THEY ARE COMING
FROM JAILS AND PRISONS, MENTAL
INSTITUTIONS AND THE SAME --
INSANE ASYLUMS AND YOU HAVE
MASSIVE NUMBER OF TERRORISTS
COMING INTO THE COUNTRY BECAUSE
OF BIDEN.
THE TRIAL I HAVE NOW IS A BIDEN
TRIAL. THEY WANT TO KEEP ME OFF THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
I THINK THERE IS MORE PRESS HERE
THAN [INAUDIBLE]
AND THE POLICE HAVE TO BE ABLE
TO DO THEIR JOB.
THE POLICE IN NEW YORK ARE GREAT
THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR
JOB.
THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT
THESE PEOPLE.
LOOK AT THIS YOUNG MAN.
HE'S GOT A SON WHO LOOKS LIKE A
MOVIE STAR SO HE'S MUCH BETTER
THAN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER
LOOKS GOOD AND YOU KNOW HE SAYS
HE IS ROBBED AND IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN HIS ROBBED
ALL THE TIME AND NOBODY'S EVER
SEEN.
ALVIN BRAGG DOES NOTHING.
HE GOES AFTER GUYS LIKE TRUMP
WHO DID NOTHING WRONG.
VIOLENT CRIMINALS, MURDERERS,
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MURDERERS
ALL OVER THE CITY AND THEY KNOW
WHO ARE THEY DO NOT PICK THEM
UP. THEY GO AFTER TRUMP.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE
SEVEN JURORS WHO WERE SELECTED?
TRUMP: I WILL LET YOU KNOW IN
ABOUT TWO MONTHS.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO GET THE
CRIMINALS, AS MANY PEOPLE COMING
INTO THE COUNTRIES ARE CRIMINALS AND MENTAL STATE -- MENTAL
PATIENTS AND WE HAVE TO GET THEM
OUT AND HAVE THE LARGEST
DEPORTATION IN THE HISTORY THE
COUNTRY AND YOU KNOW WHO NEEDS
IT, NEW YORK AND REMEMBER
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, HISPANIC AMERICAN THEY
ARE ALL LOSING.
[SHOUTING]
>> [INAUDIBLE]
TRUMP: I LOVE THEM AND THEY LOVE
ME. DID YOU SEE MY NUMBERS?
MY NUMBERS OF THE HIGHEST IN THE
HISTORY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
WITH THE LATINOS AND FRANKLY
WITH THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WE
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE NO
COUNTRY CAN SUSTAIN IT.
THEY ARE EMPTYING OUT THEIR
PRISONS AND MENTAL INSTITUTIONS INTO OUR COUNTRY.
THESE ARE PRISONERS AND PEOPLE
FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS.
[SHOUTING]
[APPLAUSE]
>> MR. PRESIDENT.
MR. TRUMP: I THINK WE ARE WAY
AHEAD IN THE POLLS AGAINST
BIDEN.
BIDEN HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY.
LOOK.
BIDEN IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN
THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
WORSE THAN JIMMY CARTER BY A
LONGSHOT SHOT.
JIMMY CARTER IS HAPPY BECAUSE HE
HAD A BRILLIANT PRESIDENCY
COMPARED TO BIDEN. HE DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY BETWEEN
THE BORDERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
HE HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY.
NOT ONLY THAT BUT WARS ARE
BREAKING OUT ALL OF THE WORLD.
WE WILL END UP WITH THIS PERSON
THAT, WE WILL END UP IN WORLD
WAR III.
WE WILL MAKE [INDISCERNIBLE]
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS HISPANIC
SUPPORT.
THE HISPANICS ARE SUPPORTING ME
AT A LEVEL NOBODY HAS EVER HEARD
BEFORE. WE WILL MAKE A HEAVY PLAY IN NEW
YORK. AFRICAN-AMERICAN SUPPORT, NO
REPUBLICAN HAS EVER HAD THE
AFRICAN AMERICAN SUPPORT I HAVE.
WE WILL WORK WITH THE DEMOCRAT
MAYOR, THE DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR AND
WE WILL GET THE STATE FIXED UP.
GO AHEAD.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
MR. TRUMP: WE WILL GET IT
STRAIGHTENED OUT.
WE WILL WORK WITH THE MAYOR AND
THE GOVERNOR, DEMOCRATS, I WILL
WORK WITH DEMOCRATS. WE HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT NEW
YORK.
IF IT GOES ANY FURTHER OUT IT
WILL NEVER COME BACK.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE MR. TRUMP: YOU
VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER? MR. TRUMP:I DIDN'T.
THERE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A GAG
ORDER. THE GAG ORDER IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE JUDGE IS HIGHLY CONFLICTED.
HE SHOULD NOT BE THERE.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
MR. TRUMP: I THINK WE ARE
CONNECTING ALREADY.
I WAS INVITED BY THE BODEGA
ADMINISTRATION.
THEY ARE TREATED VERY BADLY.
I THINK WE ARE DOING WELL.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
MR. TRUMP: MIGRANTS ARE TAKING
OVER.
500,000 ILLEGAL MIGRANTS IN NEW
YORK.
THE PEOPLE IN NEW YORK ARE GOING
TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.

>> WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE
JURY?
MR. TRUMP: I DON'T KNOW.
IT IS EARLY TO SEE.
THIS IS SO CONFLICTED, THERE HAS
NEVER BEEN ANYBODY AS CONFLICTED
AS THIS.
ALL OF THAT STUFF IS ON APPEAL
RIGHT NOW.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING THIS
NEW YORK LEGAL SYSTEM.
THIS IS REALLY ELECTION
INTERFERENCE AT THE HIGHEST
LEVEL. IT ALL COMES OUT OF WASHINGTON
BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING BADLY.
YOU KNOW, THEY ARE LOSING BADLY.
THEY ARE LOSING BADLY IN THE
POLLS. I THINK YOU WILL SEE NUMBERS
COMING OUT EVEN HIGHER.
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE
PERSECUTION. THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON.
THEY DON'T LIKE FAKE PROSECUTORS.
DERANGED JACK SMITH, THE WHOLE
GROUP OF THEM. I THINK YOU WILL SEE SOME BIG
CHANGES BEING MADE.
>> [SHOUTING]
MR. TRUMP: YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO BE DOING?
WE ARE GOING TO BE SAVING
AMERICA. OUR COUNTRY IS UNDER SIEGE.
TAKE A LOOK AT ISRAEL.
IT DOESN'T FEEL PROTECTED.
BIDEN DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
IT IS A REAL MESS.

HAPPENS.
