Pr for Trump Is Like Oxygen to a fire so they maybe they may have given him the kiss of Life Frankly, what stunned me the most about it were Republican women. Well, we've got a lot of updates for uh, former president Donald Trump he's in New York he's facing criminal charges. Massive developments though expected today. Of the things that we want to pay attention to are as follows: Number One: will Donald Trump be facing the imposition of a gag order on himself and others involved in the case Donald Trump's attorney for example, very frequently visiting shows like Tucker Carlson or uh, or other shows where they basically talk about how crazy, uh, this, uh, this, uh, these complaints are against Donald Trump and how a voter interest in Donald Trump is actually spiking because of these illegal battles.

specifically amongst Republican women who are starting to like Donald Trump more. Apparently, according to polls, well, we'll go through the pollster in just a moment. Uh, after these illegal bottle so things we're going to look out today. Number One: Donald Trump's indictment is set for 2 15 p.m He is expected to plead not guilty.

Then we are expected to see Will Donald Trump have a gag order placed against himself or his attorneys or other. Executives Then we are expecting to see will, uh, what will Donald Trump be charged with Yesterday, we heard from Yahoo that there were potentially 34 counts of falsifying document fraud, felonies, classy felonies in the state of New York to be filed against Donald Trump So we'll hear about that. The judge presiding over the case will be judge Juan Merkin. This is somebody who's served on the New York Supreme Court since a 2009 previously worked as Assistant Attorney General in a Nassau County and a Suffolk County as a judge in the Bronx Family Law Court.

This individual is by some considered to be even even a tempered is what everybody calls him and he's previously presided over Donald Trump's criminal tax fraud case uh, against the tax organ uh, sorry, the uh, the Trump organization uh, this person is uh, going to be presiding over uh Donald Trump's criminal case in New York. There are also beliefs that a criminal indictment from the state of Georgia may be coming very soon with a grand jury uh investigating Donald Trump's alleged interference, asking essentially the Secretary of State to find approximately 11 800 votes to help Donald Trump win the election? The Mayor of New York has asked representative Marjorie Taylor Green to be on her best behavior while attending a pro-trump rally today. Will she? If she actually is Trump's attorneys are expected to file for a dismissal of the case, They might be trying to use a tactic known as The Clayton motion. The Clayton motion is basically asking the court to dismiss a case quote in the interests of Justice.

It is usually a type of pre-trial motion and it's a way of basically saying hey, look, the circumstances outside of this case make it unfair to proceed with prosecution a judge then has to decide. Would this case undermine public confidence in the criminal justice system Clayton motions are very rarely used because usually when there are allegations of a crime The public's interest is actually seeing the court system play out and let the evidence being presented and and find out what happens uh and what the facts may be. However, a Clayton motion would basically ask the judge to consider throwing out the case in the interests of preserving public interest and public belief in the criminal justice system. Now at the same time, you also have Dominion Voting Systems, which has sued Fox News for defamation over their coverage of the alleged election fraud during 2020 and there are arguments made now by Bloomberg intelligence that give estimates suggesting Fox may have to pay up to 500 million dollars to settle the Dominion lawsuit before a jury rules on the actual case.

that Bloomberg estimate ranges anywhere from 300 to 70. 375 to 500 million dollars in damage is expected for Uh being paid by Fox towards a Dominion for those 2020 election fraud claims which obviously Donald Trump frequently uh discussed Now uh I Do think it's interesting to listen to this pollster for a moment here. listen to what he says about how this case is affecting public perception of Donald Trump uh PR for Trump Is Like Oxygen to a fire so they maybe they may have given them the kiss of life And we're seeing this in polling numbers conducted by my dear colleagues: Rebecca Haley and Matt Towery where there's been a de facto and de jury Surge and Republican respondents who now sympathize with Trump in Wake of this indictment, 50 percent feel more strongly attracted to Trump and sympathetic to him than they did before. And what's even more striking and I looked at those numbers as one of Reagan's former pollsters Tucker they're bona.

fide. That ends, The numbers of respondents are high. It's a legitimate. Those are two legitimate polls.

Frankly, what stunned me the most about it were Republican women who are rallying around Trump as we speak so the Democrats better be careful. they they may get something if they really want it bad enough. and I fear for them that there could be some sort of backlash in the making here if they I mean if they silence the Republican party's leading presidential candidate? Yeah, I I think they're I Did you know it's not good for the country? I would say Craig thank you for your you're welcome Tucker Thank you for having me back. So really an interesting claim here that people who have been paying attention to the allegations against Donald Trump 50 of them feel more strongly attracted to Trump and Republican women now allegedly rallying around Trump Now we don't know the actual survey data here.

We don't know if this is, uh, cherry picking by Tucker Carlson to bring somebody on who's going to say something impactful like everybody's loving Trump Now that's uh, kind of what we would expect them to say, but either way, you slice it. Donald Trump is the face of the media today, and it does seem like he's getting a whole lot more attention and likely donations than before this potential criminal indictment was announced against him. And therefore, it doesn't make it too terribly surprising that Donald Trump actually himself revealed that this indictment was coming that he would be arrested. Now keep in mind: Donald Trump Today is not expected to be in handcuffs.

Not only is he not expected to be in handcuffs, but we believe that Donald Trump will even skip the mug shot process. We're not sure, but it sounds like his 2 15 appointment will be anything but a normal style indictment where there is a full booking process. It sounds like there will be some form of an abridge booking process and uh, then Donald Trump will be walked into the courtroom where the presiding judge will read the charges against. Donald Trump We're not sure if this will be televised or not.

it will absolutely be must See TV If it is televised and that is expected to begin at 2 15 Eastern time today about 11 15. Pacific Keep in mind that it is entirely possible that Uh 215 is just the beginning of the booking process, not necessarily the beginning of the court hearing which might not be set for Uh anything earlier than 3 or 4. P.M So TBD However, this gives you a quick update on all of the craziness surrounding Donald Trump Today.
