00:00Thank you, everybody. Jason Miller with the Trump campaign here with Caroline Leavitt
00:17and Stephen Chung. So the Biden folks have finally done it. After months of saying the
00:23politics had nothing to do with this trial. They showed up and made a campaign event
00:31out of a lower Manhattan trial day for President Trump. In fact, Biden's cronies had a printed
00:38out campaign sign saying Biden Harris. So why the change? Why is Joe Biden now making
00:45this a campaign event after months of weaponizing the legal system against President Trump?
00:52Because Joe Biden's numbers are in the tank. The headline for today in Politico very simply
00:57said Dems in freak out over Joe Biden. Joe Biden is losing nationally, is losing in every
01:04single battleground state. And President Trump's numbers continue to rise. And the best that
01:09Biden can do is roll out a washed up actor. And don't worry, my remarks will be shorter
01:16than the Irishman. I won't make you suffer for three hours. But the best they can do
01:20is roll out a washed up actor. Last week, President Trump spoke in the Bronx, right
01:26over 25,000 people show up to rally around him. And the best the Biden campaign could
01:32do was put out a web video with Robert De Niro. There is nothing behind the Biden campaign.
01:38Their numbers are in the toilet. Kamala Harris is a terrible alternative. And it's all an
01:44attempt to try to turn around the Biden campaign. Now what's happening here in Manhattan? We're
01:49in closing arguments for the Biden trial. We've been here for six weeks. Nobody has
01:54said that President Trump did anything wrong. We have a highly conflicted judge with unconstitutional
02:01gag order. And everybody sees this case for what it is. In fact, the New York Post this
02:06morning with the headline for Jonathan Turley is Trump trial comes to close. DA's flimsy
02:16case is nothing to brag about. Everybody knows this case is complete garbage. President
02:22Trump did nothing wrong. This is all politics. If you don't think this politics, then why
02:27do the Democrats wheel out a retread like Robert De Niro to try to change the subject
02:34you could see the look on the Biden campaign staffers faces. They knew this was a bad idea.
02:39They didn't want to be here. But somebody at Central Command told them that everything
02:44is going down the tubes for Joe Biden. I'm gonna hand it over now to Caroline Levitt.
02:49What you just heard from is a desperate and failing and pathetic campaign who knows that
02:56they are losing Joe Biden's sending his campaign outside of this criminal courthouse. It is
03:01a full blown concession that this trial is a witch hunt that comes from the top comes
03:06from Joe Biden, and he is using a far left district attorney in this city, Alvin Bragg.
03:12This case would have been laughed out of any other courtroom in America. Legal scholars
03:16on both sides of the aisle, even liberal legal scholars agree there is no crime. There is
03:21no case. But Joe Biden knew he could use Alvin Bragg, who is sitting in that courthouse today,
03:27wasting away the tax dollars of the hardworking people of this city to go after Joe Biden's
03:33political opposition. And the man overseeing this case is a corrupt and highly partisan
03:38and crooked judge who is highly conflicted for reasons that President Trump can't even
03:43talk about because this judge imposed an unconstitutional gag order on the former president of the
03:49United States and the leading front runner in this election. This is a disgrace. President
03:54Trump has been locked up in that courtroom for six weeks. But guess what? The American
03:58people see through this witch hunt in this scam. And that's why President Trump continues
04:03to rise in the polls. That's why he pulls a crowd of more than twenty five thousand
04:07in the deep blue Bronx. That's why he pulls a crowd of more than one hundred thousand
04:11in deep blue New Jersey. Everywhere he goes, everyday Americans, not elitist, out of touch
04:17Hollywood actors like Robert De Niro, who have no idea the real problems that people
04:22in this city and across this country are facing. President Trump is backed by the hardworking
04:26men and women of this country. And I could not help but laugh when Joe Biden spokesperson
04:32actually came out here and said accused President Trump of being the threat to democracy. Joe
04:37Biden is the real threat to democracy. He is weaponizing our justice system. Look at
04:42all of you. This is a communist show trial. There are real problems in America. And you
04:47are all out here covering this because Joe Biden is weak. He's pathetic. He's a threat
04:52to democracy, not only with this weaponization of our justice system, but with his wide open
04:57border invasion that is allowing a mass invasion of illegal people into this country. Terrorists,
05:02criminals, our economy is in shambles. We are heading towards World War Three. Those
05:06are the issues real Americans care about. That is why President Trump is going to win
05:10this election. And ultimately, he will be vindicated of this sham crooked trial because
05:15he has the truth on his side and he is an innocent man. And here's my colleague Stephen
05:19Shum. Make no mistake. This is election interference of the highest order. Crooked Joe Biden and
05:28his campaign are in complete freak out mode. And that's why they've gone back on the word.
05:34And now they've gone in bed with a highly conflicted, conflicted judge. And now they're
05:38making a political mockery of this entire thing. The fact remains that President Trump
05:45will overcome. He'll fight these charges up and down. And there's nothing to stop the
05:51truth from coming out. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. President Trump will speak to the
05:57courthouse media when a court adjourns at approximately 430. Thank you.
