"WTOP news everything you need every time you listen the WTOP producers desk is wired by local 26 where electrical contractors come to grow good afternoon I'm Anne Kramer and I'm Brennan Hazleton Jacob Kurz our producer top story we're following for you this afternoon as former President Trump's expected arrest at that jail in Atlanta he has left his golf club in New Jersey now on his way to Georgia to surrender and related charges to his efforts to overturn the election results in that state now in a post to Trump's social media site truth social he says he will turn himself into authorities around 730 this evening former president replaced his defense lawyer in the case at the last minute CBS News correspondent Nicole Killian is in Atlanta and she talked about that with us about that last minute switch up his new attorney is Steven Sato who is a well -known attorney here in the Georgia area high -powered criminal defense attorney he was represented presented previously by Drew Findling who was his lead attorney here in Georgia and actually signed off on the bond earlier this week first president has $200 ,000 bond and there's also other associated with that including he can't talk to other co -defendants in the case or intimidate witnesses but that being said this change came just hours before the former president's anticipated surrender and we do expect his new attorney to be with him here at the jail. That's CBS News correspondent Nicole Killian. Former President Trump's White House chief of staff Mark Meadows turned himself in and was booked earlier this afternoon in connection with this racketeering case. He was released on $100 ,000 bond. Meadows is facing one charge of violating Georgia's RICO Act and another charge of soliciting a public officer to violate their oath. Meadows has denied wrongdoing. After he was charged last week Meadows requested the Fulton County case be moved out of the state into federal court. That request however was denied. So far 11 co -defendants have turned themselves in in Atlanta. The district attorney there in Georgia Fannie Willis has requested an October 23rd trial date for this year in connection with the case against the former president. That's according to reports on CNN. Willis has told reporters last week when the indictment was handed up she would seek a trial would that start within the next six months. Now legal experts say that such a timeline was not plausible especially as the district attorney has also indicated she wants to try all 19 defendants at the same time. Meantime ahead of the former president's arraignment in Atlanta the Republican led House Judiciary Committee has announced an investigation into the prosecutor who brought the charges against him. That's Fannie Willis who we were just talking about. Let's get more on that from WTOP's Mitchell Miller today on the Hill. GOP committee chairman Jim Jordan, a strong supporter of the former president, wants to know if Fulton County District Fannie Attorney Willis coordinated in any way with the Justice Department before Mr. Trump and 18 others were indicted. He's written Willis seeking any communication her office has had with Special Counsel Jack Smith who brought separate federal charges related to January 6th against the former president. Jordan also suggests that Willis brought charges against Donald Trump for political reasons. Willis has said her investigations follow the law and those who violate it need to be prosecuted. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTOP News. Now to the war in Ukraine, it's still not clear if Evgeny Progoshin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, is dead this afternoon. He was said to be a passenger on a plane that appeared to be shot down in Russia yesterday. One of the key questions today is if he is dead and how will that impact the war if he is? WTOP national security correspondent J .J. Green joins us with the details. J .J., this thing just keeps changing. The Wagner group is really no longer a factor in the war, but it's not because of Progoshin's death. After Wagner group's actions two months ago in Russia, as you know, those forces were essentially removed from combat near Bakhmut where they had been fighting. Pentagon press secretary General Pat Ryder. He said the Wagner forces played a major role in Russia's war effort in Ukraine. Oh, by the way, you know, and we've said this before, the Wagner forces essentially were Russia's most effective combat forces on battlefield. And the key question now is with Progoshin gone, how will the Russian military use the tens of thousands of troops that are a part of this organization and can it manage the billions of dollars worth of raw material and jewels essentially that they're getting from Africa that fund this war? We'll have to wait and see. Reporting live, JJ Green, WTOP News. Hey JJ, before you go, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement about Progoshin today. Did it add any clarity to the question about whether he's dead or alive? No, it didn't. And in fact, it kind of deepened this mystery a bit. He said that Danny Progoshin is a man who's made mistakes in his life but achieved results. But he never said anything about the situation, the disposition of the plane or whether he was definitely on it or dead or not. There have been questions about this in part because there were reports earlier about a second plane, a second Wagner plane supposedly circling Moscow around the time that this particular plane was shot down. And the key problem here is that Progoshin has faked his death in the past. So there are people that are wondering if this was another attempt to do that. They were thinking Putin that might add some clarity to it since a lot of people suspect him of killing him but he didn't do anything like that today. Back to you. Thanks JJ. WTOP National Security Correspondent JJ Green there with all the details. Coming up in money news after traffic

Well just like the rest of the country and the nation we do in the media are watching we literally have been camped out for days outside of the Fulton County Jail and we are all awaiting that moment when former the president turns himself in at the jail which will be unprecedented this not only marks the former president's fourth indictment but could potentially mark his first ever mugshot because the sheriff has made clear that the former president will be treated just like any other defendant. Tell us a little bit about security there right now and about there are Trump supporters who have gathered. Yeah well we have seen security tightened in the area since this morning that includes the streets outside of the jail which have been shut down there is a secure perimeter and we expect that to tighten as we get closer to the former president's arrival but there also are a number of demonstrators and supporters of the former president who have gathered to express their support. So far those demonstrations have remained mostly peaceful many of those demonstrators telling me that they don't think the former president did anything wrong and that his surrender today will only boost him politically. Nicole the surrender today of Donald Trump comes hired after a he high -powered local defense attorney there and switched attorneys what do we know about that? Yeah well his attorney is Steven Sato who is a well -known attorney here in the Georgia area criminal high defense -powered attorney. He was represented previously by Drew Findling who was his lead attorney here in Georgia and actually signed off on the bond agreement earlier this week for his president to ask for his $200 thousand and bond there's also other conditions associated with that including he can't talk to other co defendants in the case or intimidate witnesses but that being said this change came just hours before the former president's anticipated surrender and we do expect his new attorney to be with him here at the jail. thanks Nicole for your time this afternoon.

"Wage price spiral fortunately when you look at most measures of inflation expectations and and tomorrow we'll get the University of Michigan but if you look at the longer term expectations there they haven't become what the Fed would say is unmoored at this point and so you know I don't will lay at night worrying about a massive wage price spiral like we had back in the early nineteen eighties because inflation expectations at this point have not become unhinged Jay Jay it may come as a shock to you but Fed Chairman Jay Powell he does not call me for my advice but if you were to do so I would say I think you can just kind of hang tight with rates here I don't think you need to raise rates anymore what do you think the Fed will do and should do? Yeah so my my guess here would be I think the bar to a rate hike in September is really pretty high at this point clearly there are some members of the committee who would favor another twenty five basis point rate hike in September I just don't think you can form a consensus around that view at this point and so I think that the Fed would continue to talk off a relatively hawkish line I would expect a Powell speech in Jackson Hole tomorrow you know talking about yes inflation has come down but it's not back to where we want it to be so you know I think they're trying to feel their way in and it will see how the day of the very data pendant mode right now if in the next few months the labor market remains really tight CPI inflation doesn't to you doesn't isn't receiving any further then I could see them you know raising rates again in November and maybe even beyond that but again I think for September the bar for a rate hike is pretty high. When people are making those assumptions though including yourself I imagine the lag then is estimated to be 12 to 18 months on the downside. A big topic of conversation has been is the lag even shorter. Jay what are the odds that the lag is even longer than normal? Well you know my guess would be it might be a little bit longer just because we're more of a service economy today. So if you're buying a lot of goods that are really interest rate sensitive and interest rates suddenly jump up that can have an immediate effect on that sort of spending but we're more and more in the more and more services now and so the lags could potentially be potentially be longer there. I think what's also going to be interesting as we go forward is you're going to get a passive tightening of Fed policy meaning what really matters for the economy is not the nominal rate so much you know the 550 on the Fed funds rate right now it's the real rate. You know that rate minus the inflation rate that's what matters for the real economy. And if we're correct and inflation recedes going further and the Fed keeps nominal rates on hold then the real rate is passively going to go up and so yes the Fed may be done right now in terms of nominal rate hikes but if inflation comes down and they kind of dally of tightening the nominal rate down you're going to get a passive tightening in terms of real rate and then you're looking at you know you effects know in through next year. And in fact we are seeing the real 10 -year yield at 1 .84 % here today was up 2 % a couple days ago so we're already seeing some movement there.

Alright with our news down in Washington DC is Amy Morris. Oh you ACC fans are adorable. Donald Trump has reportedly replaced the lawyer who's been leaving his defense in Georgia this was hours before his planned surrender. Multiple reports say Drew Findling the lawyer who led Trump's defense in Georgia is out replaced by Steven Sadow an Atlanta -based criminal defense attorney. Trump has said he will surrender to authorities this evening. Yevgeny Progozhin, the man who led the mutiny that posed the biggest threat to President Vladimir Putin almost a quarter century rule is presumed dead. Russia's aviation authorities say he was in that deadly plane crash that killed all 10 aboard a flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Bloomberg's Maria Tadeo explains how there's some speculation behind the crash on Russian but it does feature into this idea that people and individuals who have opposed or criticized Vladimir Putin and certainly Progozhin did that two months ago seem to find themselves in situations where they either get mysteriously injured or well, just mysteriously die. Bloomberg's Maria Tadeo. Japan has started the release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear site into the Pacific Ocean in a process that could last about 30 years triggering an immediate retaliation by China to curb seafood imports from Japan.

I could see that at a cowboy bar. I could see Tom Kean with a with a cowboy hat. Yeah, I bet Mike McKee took him shopping. Mike McKee looks good with the cowboy hat. He brings it but but it's good to have those folks out there because will you see what Fed Chairman Jay Powell says tomorrow. We'll see what other kind of they're gonna have a lot of great guests tomorrow to get a get a sense of kind of where some of these economists see the US economy and see the global economy. Yeah, and I think Tom Kean has an exclusive interview as well with Christine Lagarde over from the ECB as well. So we are going to be monitoring that very very closely.

"I think a lot of the transmission is much faster than it was at that time. Housing is one of the prime examples. The housing market basically came to a stop In the spring of 2022 and at that point the committee hadn't actually done anything. The policy rate was still not very far from zero at that point but the what markets anticipate the Fed is going to do and so you got a big impact in the spring and summer and fall of 2022 on the housing market. So that's example an of how markets pull forward the policy of the Fed and I think that's more prevalent today than it would have been in the 60s or the 70s. So I think these long and variable lag estimates are a little out of date. You have to think about transmission coming much faster than it would have during that period of time. A couple of newspaper stories and now all Wall Street is talking about is our star and whether the Fed is going to be adjusting its estimates. Two questions. One, what do you think it is and does it tell you anything? And the second question is, is it really relevant to policy at this point? I think it is relevant, but we don't have very good estimates of this number. I think Chair Powell has said we really don't know. I think that was one quote from him on our star. So it is an interesting but debate, you probably can't make too much of it because the estimates are so uncertain. I do think it matters though because people want to have some idea of where they think they're going in the medium term. Well, that's my next question is where do you think we're going in the medium term? You've got some people who think, John Williams, New York Fed President, that our star, the neutral rate of interest, let's put way, it that is going to be somewhere where it was prior to the pandemic. Others think we've moved into a new regime to quote the old St. Louis Fed President, Jim Bullard, and we're be going to back to say the 1990s versions of interest rates and growth rates and inflation rates. Where do you think we come out of this pandemic? Yeah, the I think probabilities are that we are in a new regime that will be a higher interest rate regime. It'll be more like the 90s than we're used to in the last two decades. And the reason I say that is that inflation is above target today. Core inflation is likely to be sticky and come down rather slowly. And the rule of thumb would be that the policy rate has to be above the inflation rate in order to continue to push inflation back toward our 2 % target. So you would expect from those considerations that interest rates would be rather high over this timeframe going forward, over the medium term, more like the 90s, less like the 2009 to 2019 period where you had inflation below target and interest rates pinned down at low levels. So I think I think we have probably switched here to a higher interest rate regime with higher nominal interest rates. Now I would say about the 90s, you and I have talked about this before, the second of half the 90s was actually one of the best periods for US macroeconomic performance. So maybe it's a good sign for the economy. The economy can boom even in an interest rate environment. Well, we'll hope you're correct. Jim Bullard, the dean of the business school at Purdue University, the Daniels Business School. Thank you for joining us and helping us kick off once again our Jackson Hole coverage. Matt? Michael McKee, thanks very much for that and thanks also to former Louis St. Fed President Jim Bullard, who was at Purdue but still wearing his Jackson Hole windbreaker. So I thought that was quite fitting. He said that he thinks rates or the transmission mechanism is faster and I wasn't, I was a little bit surprised by that. If you're just joining the program, we see the S &P 500 futures at least rising just about Now with your news from New York City and around the world, here's John Tucker. Alright Matt, just before his visit to an Atlanta jail to be booked on 13 felony counts, Donald Trump Trump has shaken up his Georgia legal defense team. He's hiring Steve Sadel, a veteran criminal defense lawyer in Atlanta taken who's on a number of high -profile cases. The New York Times says he'll replace Drew Findling who helped negotiate a $200 ,000 bond for Trump. In Milwaukee last night, eight of the Republican candidates squared off first on the debate of the 2024 presidential race. Former President Donald Trump was not there at the event, by hosted Fox News, so the remaining contenders trained their fire, mostly on President Biden and his policies.

"And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this to him, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100% right. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick, along with Mike Speraza. Mike, I think mostly we're going to talk about Trump today, but we have to talk about another dredge of our Erie County community, Mark Poloncarz. But we'll save a little bit of that news about Mark for last. Another fearless leader in New York. Man, what's worse than fearless? He's fearful. He's fearful of his own reputation is all he's really fearful of. That's what I'd say, but we'll save that for last. You do not want to miss his response to the two rapes by migrants, I should say. You do not want to hear his exact ... We're going to read the exact Facebook post. I won't even summarize, I'm going to read you exactly what he has to say. You don't want to miss that at the end of the show. Filled with compassion, I'm sure. So Trump indicted for a fourth time. This is not unexpected. This was by Fulton County DA Fannie Willis. This is for election interference and Trump and many others actually must surrender by August 25th at noon, Mike. Your thoughts initially on Trump being indicted for a fourth time. Well, it's not shocking because they've been telling us for weeks that they were going to make a show of this. Atlanta or Fulton County, they have literally been talking about this for months. They've been talking about mug shots. They've been talking about the whole song and dance of an actual bringing Trump in and going through the fingerprinting, going through the photos. They've been doing this and telling us this for months. So it's not shocking. What is shocking them, Mike, is that you've seen the polls, right? Every time this happens, Trump's numbers skyrocket. His fundraising skyrockets every single time. And now they're doing it again. And this might be the most ridiculous of them all because of the charade and the show that it's going to be. If I was going to use an example, if I'm a Barack Obama and I'm the leader of the party, not saying he is, but maybe he is, I'm saying to myself, the last thing that I want the media and I want law enforcement and I want the legal system to do is prop this guy up anymore because every time we do it, it backfires at us. I'd be like, keep this guy out of your mouth. Keep him away from you. I don't want to hear Donald Trump. I don't want to see Donald Trump. But no, they do the opposite. And I think their hope is, Mike, they get him on one of these charges. I don't think it matters. The people that are voting for Donald Trump, myself included, I'm going to raise my hand. I am voting for Donald Trump no matter what happens. He could get convicted on all 75 indictments and 400 years in prison. I don't care I'm voting for him. Now, if something came out that he was like a child molester or an actual murderer or something, of course that would change. But based on these four indictments, no matter what happens in the courtroom, Donald Trump is not, it's not even a question. He is my vote. I am voting for Donald Trump. That is the president. Yeah. This, this once again, I think shows how self-serving, narcissistic and how deeply Trump derangement syndrome runs in a lot of these people's heads like Fannie Willis. This is the, the reading, I guess I'll, I'll use this out of an article off of Fox. Let's, uh, let's see this by, oh, this was seven hours ago, Houston, Keene of Fox news. This says a 97 page indictment. The charges include violating the Georgia RICO act RICO. If you don't know what that means, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act often, I think you'd hear that it may be for mafia activity, drug activity, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree conspiracy to commit false statements and writings conspiracy to commit filing false documents conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree filing false documents and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. Now former Trump white house chief of staff, Mark Meadows, attorneys, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesbrough, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, and others were also charged out of this years long investigation. Interesting Mike years long investigation. And here we are, August of 2023, just before presidential campaigns really heat up and debates begin. Let's talk about the timing of these indictments. I mean, we had Alvin Bragg start this whole parade off with falsifying business records, uh, you know, accusations against Donald Trump, which was total bullshit Manhattan DA, right? Alvin Bragg Bragg, next federal charges for holding classified records at Mar-a-Lago also bullshit. Go ahead. Justice department council, Jack Smith, then for the January 6th, uh, involvement, he says that Trump had basically instigating that whole event. And then further with, you know, just to layer on it, it was like icing on a cake. He had to hold Trump accountable for even more. And then finally Fulton County, DA Fannie Willis. So just the timing of this, it seems so orchestrated, um, I don't think there's any question in anybody's mind. I don't care who you are, that this has been an orchestrated attempt to take down Donald Trump. So in case nobody saw this yesterday, cause I'm sure you did, and I'm not saying you Mike, but people listening may not have, um, Sam bank from freed, uh, there was news that came out about him shelling out a hundred million dollars of stolen money, by the way, from his FTX funds to Democrat, uh, you know, nominees in the 2022 midterms. So the same day we see this crook, which we all knew were, was a crook by the way, you know, let's not forget that we all said this for a long time. This guy gave a hundred million dollars to democratic candidates across the country. That is on the same day. Also the whistleblower confirmed, um, some of the stuff in the Hunter Biden trial just yesterday. And then this comes out by the way, Mike, we forgot to mention this earlier, Fannie Willis, the genius that she is, ends up screwing up this indictment by the way, and putting it online for public knowledge before they even talk to the grand jury. Right, right. So they were working fast and they were working fast for a reason, right? This is just another show. And again, I'm here for it. I'm on the record. I'm here for it. Why? This is cementing. Donald Trump said he needed one more indictment. I'm going to say he needs one more thing. He needs the Fulton County mugshot and it's over. Once we get the mugshot, this race, not the primary is already over. The primary has been over. Once we get that mugshot, the, the 2024 race is over. It's over completely. That will set Donald Trump over the edge. His face will be on every t-shirt again, raising my hand, I'll buy 20 of them. The Donald Trump mugshot will take him through and carry him through the 2024 election. It's over. Yeah. And this, to your point about this leak, Fannie Willis essentially just simply said, I can't tell you anything. Of course you can't, right? So this was Monday. This is, this is official. The office of the Fulton County clerk or superior and magistrate courts has learned of a fictitious document that has been circulated online and reported by various media outlets to the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. While there have been no documents filed today regarding such, all members of the media should be reminded that documents that do not bear an official case number, filing date and the name of the clerk of courts in concert are not considered official filings and should not be treated as such. This was not a simple mistake is what, uh, let's see here. This was Trump attorneys, Drew Findling and Jennifer Little who slammed this. This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the DA's office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk's office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. How could that be, Mike? Well, how can it be and how can this not just be thrown out? You know, if anyone believes in rule of law and equal justice, how can this just not be thrown out? I think to your point, Mike, like I totally agree. I think nobody who has supported Trump from the beginning has lost the feeling of support for him. I mean, if anything, it's grown and grown and grown. And then the other thing is you just wonder, will independents or any, any liberals at all liberals like Bill Maher, will any of them say, I cannot, I cannot in my right mind vote for anybody on the left anymore. They've taken this far, far too far. And I mean, it's like basically over the cliff and they're falling, waiting to see how hard it's going to, you know, how hard they're all going to hit. Here's the problem, too. In the last six years, we've had numerous people challenge elections. By the way, two of them were that I'm talking about right now were liberals. Hillary Clinton still doesn't believe she lost in 2016 and is on the record saying that. And Stacey Abrams has it, Mike. So if you really give a shit about, you know, hey, we need to bring people to justice, then do it, then go after those two. This is my problem with this whole thing. Like all these liberals, like Harry Sisson, Mr. Gen Z, oh, finally getting justice. That's bullshit. And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams there. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this, too, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 percent right. What does he mean by that? They don't give a shit about Trump. They do, but that's short term. They know that at most Trump's got four years left. They give a shit about all of us that can think clearly and that know they're all full of shit. That's what they're concerned about. The MAGA movement, they're petrified of it. And they need to take out its leader. And they're coming after us next. I promise you that. Well, let's talk about what can actually work in terms of Trump getting elected, in terms of stopping this crazy liberal freight train. Is it simply election? Is it actually GOP members stepping up and actually getting the balls to do something? Like do something. That would help. Stop threatening. Stop reporting. Like they're the town criers. Oh, have you seen what's going on there? Whoa, that's wrong. Oh, my gosh. What's this Fannie Willis thinking? Whoa. What was Alvin Bragg's thinking? This is this is unconstitutional. You just hear it. It's like it's like just it's like white noise now. You just hear all the Republicans, those that even want to say anything. How about the ones that never say anything? What are we paying you for? Like honestly, what are we paying you for? You're not passing any great legislation. So how about you just get a set of balls and say something? Say something in support or in not support. All you like to do is is sort of thread the needle. Stay on that tightrope. You don't want to go one side or another of the tightrope. You feel like, well, if I support Trump too much, that's not going to look good. But oh, if I if I don't support him, oh, my gosh, what are people going to think of me? Like stop thinking of what others will think of you. And how about you stand up? How about like a Vivek Ramaswamy type of statement where you actually you understand what's going on in this country and you actually take a side and you don't care who politically the person is. You stand up for what's right or what's wrong. I mean, I'm so tired of this. So do you think elections will make a difference? Do you think that some GOP members can actually make a difference? Do you think the the judicial system might make the difference? Do you think a lot of these things are just going to go basically down? I don't see them going down in many of these states. I mean, in Georgia and New York, D.C., D.C. I mean, I mean, really, like you look at this and you think, boy, these just have to be appealed and probably all the way headed right to the Supreme Court. My thoughts, honestly, are the Supreme Court right now can help. But at this point, forget Kevin McCarthy, forget Mitch McConnell, forget all the bursar artists that are in Congress, forget them all. If there's one thing that can change this and it's you, the people, you, the people are the only thing that can change this political weaponization, this political persecution. And to be honest with you, this banana republic government we got, there's one thing you can do and it's vote and it's go vote for Donald Trump. That is the one thing that we can do, Mike. Forget the courts. Forget all that. Go vote for Donald Trump. That is the only thing that we as Americans can do. Your congressmen won't do it. Your congresswomen won't do it. There's less than I bet, Mike, two percent that actually know what the hell is going on or are not part of that uni-party. There's less than two percent. I'll say a Matt Gaetz is one of those, right? I'll say a Byron Donalds is probably one of those, right? Those types of guys are the people that we need. Now, again, even with them, there's not enough of them, Mike. We need us, the voter, to take care of this. Go vote for Donald Trump and get rid of the con men. Get rid of the B.S., the Bidens, the Clintons, the Obamas. Get rid of them all. Go vote and take care of it. So it's easy to become just sort of a witness or a spectator to all of this, right? We all sit back and then at your kitchen table or as you're having a beer, having some chicken wings here in Buffalo anyway, maybe across the country, just not as good. You start talking about these things. And then to your point, Mike, people at election time think they need to just distance themselves from these things. They need a mental health break. They need to just they need to just watch and see what happens. Let's just see how the cards fall. Well, this house of cards that Joe Biden's administration and he has built, it's coming down, guys. I mean, it's burning like Maui right now. And it's just it just hasn't come to your doorstep yet. That's the problem. Until it hits your doorstep, you're not evacuating, right? You're not jumping into the ocean like these people in Maui have had to do. It's just a terrible tragedy there, which, by the way, Joe Biden doesn't have any time to comment on. By the way, let's not forget that, you know, actual disaster going on in California and Hawaii right now. But Joe Biden, baby, he's got to go ride his bike. He's got a vacation. So don't don't interrupt that. He's actually headed, I think, this week to Texas or something to can't find his way to Hawaii, though. God forbid he does that or God forbid he sends his vice president. Can't do that. How vile is that team that he has around them around him? I mean, they're the ones running the show. We know that. So it's just a it's such a corrupt and vile group to not say we got to get Joe out in front of the microphone for this. I mean, we've got to at least talk about the lives being lost, the federal assistance that we're going to provide, just something. Not a thing. And that's not Joe Biden. I mean, Joe Biden can't can't make sense of anything. And we know that. Like, that's clear. We know that. I mean, there's so much evidence now to say that I can say it without really saying, well, you never know. No, we know. But his team. Yeah. I mean, Dr. Jill, what are you saying, Joe? Maui's burning like it'll likely be thousands of people will have died on Maui because of fires and extreme wind and spreading of the wildfires. And he doesn't set a word. And you, Jill, don't have a you know, at any like no respect at all, no, no decency to tell your husband, get in front of a microphone, for God's sake, and say something about the people on Maui. They're U.S. citizens. But to your point earlier about voting, that's the problem. People get what I call election dementia. They completely forget how we got to the extreme, horrible, horrible conditions that we end up getting to. And then at election time, Mike, right about now, somehow the Democrats are going to come out and say, wow, look what's happening. Climate change is destroying island, beautiful islands like Maui. Crime is it's just it's taking over American cities. We can change that. We will help you. We will give. Right. We're Santa Claus. We will give. And then everybody votes for these people again. Yeah. And by the way, you know, Mike, to point of we will give the we will give costs everybody that actually works money. Right. So it sounds great in theory. Yeah. I said this to my mom was text me the other day about I forgot what it was. And I'm like, oh, you didn't know that money just grows on trees. Yeah. You just go over there. I'll just pick off that leave. It's money like that. That's what government treats everything like. And like we talk about all the time, we're both business owners. If I say to a company that I'm doing advertising with, you know, just give me give me five million. I'll take five million dollars advertising. No, no worries. Then they say, Mike, you got to pay for it. Well, what? That's not to pay. I thought I only had to pay ten thousand dollars. What do you mean I'd pay five? That's not a good deal for me. Yeah. What? Well, Mike, you signed a contract to pay us five million advertising. No, no, I didn't. OK. You know what I'll do? I'll just go ask all my clients for an extra five thousand dollars apiece and I'll pay my advertising. You can't do that in business, right? It's the business owner, the government, that if you're going to make deals, you've got to live with those deals and pay for them, right? Not expect everybody else to. What they do, Mike, as you always say, is they'll make these things up, right? And then they'll say, we've solved the problem. Crime? Yeah, we can't believe it's so bad either, but we have the solution. No, Kathy Hochul, you are the problem. You are not the solution. Joe Biden, no, you are not the solution. You are the problem. But Mike, to your point, the way they market it is that this, you know, we're here to save you. The problem is the saving comes from our pockets and the listener's pockets and the people that work pockets, the people that are retired that work their asses off pockets. And even then, Mike, they take all that money from us and it doesn't do a damn thing because they don't know what to do with it. Contracts. I mean, contracts involve people that have an intellect, right? You got to understand what contract are you stepping into. You've got to have integrity to follow through on the contract, right? The two sides agree to something. And you've got to then trust that each other will actually abide by the contract. Those qualities don't exist in many of these liberal progressive minds, intellect, integrity, trust. It's all about them. It's all about them. And then the problem is they will actually sign contracts and then think that it doesn't apply to them, even though they signed it. Right. So I think it's out the window now, like the idea of compromise and, you know, let's let's make agreements and all that. It's out the window. It's out the window. These people don't care. We see it every day. We see crime in cities and then we're told, let's not hold these people accountable. Let's let's let's deflect from the true reasons for these things. Let's hold guys like Trump accountable for actions that we can't even prove. But you know what? He has he has all the right in the world, Mike, to prove he's innocent. Right. That, according to Nancy Pelosi, this is upside down. And it won't turn right side up unless we get a guy like Trump, maybe just maybe we get a guy like Vivek Ramaswamy either side by side with Trump or somehow integrated within a Trump administration. And then maybe I have some hope, maybe some more optimism. And lastly, before we get to our pal Mark Polancarz, I do just want to say I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. And I mean this right. I don't care if you're a liberal, if you're independent or if you're conservative. If you think that this is the right way to do business in the United States, I say do business, not actual business, but you get what I'm saying? If this is what you think the right way is, then you need to go do some history on the Stalin regime, on Hitler's regime, on Benito Mussolini's regime. Do me a favor and go read about that. In those days, there were no such thing, Mike, as opposition, right? If you opposed, you got killed, right? And we're not killing Donald Trump yet, by the way. I'm going to say yet because I think that's next when all these sham four indictments don't work. That's where they're going next, right? So I hope Donald Trump has his taste testers. I hope Donald Trump has the secret service because I fear for that man's life and I pray for that man because I'm seriously concerned about it. This is dangerous. And if you are an American and you think this is the right way, there is something seriously wrong with you, right? Something said, you know, people could say, oh, Donald Trump said lock her up about Hillary. Okay. He did say that. Did he put his whole Department of Justice against Hillary Clinton like this? Did he do any of this? Because I don't think he did. No. Right. And some people wish he had done that. Right. I mean, a lot of us. Looking back, he probably should have. A lot of us say that might have been the only place he went wrong. He had a couple of years in power and he could have really slammed the door on all these accusations about Hillary Clinton and the bleach bidding of documents and the slamming and the smashing of cell phones and all that. He didn't do it. And we wish he would have. Would it have changed, turned the tide? I don't know. You know, we won't know. But after two years as a president, he kind of lost his ability to do it. I mean, he started to focus on America, which I'm glad he did. But I don't know. Well, I mean, we'll have to see how this one more indictment changes, turns the tide. Again, I think stalwart Trump supporters are not swaying. It's a matter of getting others to say, what on earth will it take for you to say this is a liberal, far, far leftist government that doesn't care about justice for all? Are you going to continue to align yourself with them or not? And time will tell. Let's talk a little bit about Erie County executive Mark Polancarz. Mark Polancarz has often been there at the forefront of cleanup, is what I'd say. One that comes to mind, Mike, was the winter storm and not adequately preparing and actually declaring an emergency. So I remember it like this, and this is just my recollection. We knew, we knew from the Midwest there were nasty, massive storms coming across the country, right? Ice storms, devastating winds like 70, 80 mile per hour winds. They were on their way. So we knew that the night before, let's say 10 o'clock at night, 9 o'clock at night the night before. And all through the night, we hear nothing. We hear nothing. We hear nothing. People get on the roads at 7, 730, 8 o'clock in the morning, and then all hell broke loose. The snow was flying, it was blizzard, blizzard conditions, somewhat like the 1977 blizzard of western New York, of Buffalo. And everybody that was out on the roads was at peril. Many of them got stuck in vehicles. They ended up trying to leave their vehicles, and many, many actually died. And what did we hear afterward? We heard Mark Polancarz say, wow, this was just a devastating storm. Wow, we're going to try and get out there and save as many people as possible, right? We need to do all the right things. He came out, but he made a grave error by not pronouncing closing the throughway at 11 p.m. the night before, right? Or 10 p.m. the night before. Get off the throughways. Get off the roads. You will not be able to report to work, right? Government officials and everybody, right? They all love to do mandates, Mike. Why wouldn't he make a mandate then? So anyway, he's always at the forefront of the cleanup efforts. And he does the apology tour or the, you know, I'm not that bad. Come on, this went wrong, but I'm not that bad. What did he say of late? So this was sent to me actually by Stefan Mihaylo. Here we go. This is a Facebook post, folks. Now this is, mind you, a week after two people were raped, right? One person has tuberculosis in the area. All legal, by the way, shouldn't be here, okay? This is what he says. While the last few days haven't been the best I've had in office, I think back to everything this community has gone through since 2020. The COVID pandemic, the mass shooting, terrible storms, and the Christmas blizzard, the Damar Hamlin incident, Jason Arno's tragic death, and so much more. And know that a few political hits and rough days against me are nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to what others have had to face. My team and I will come out stronger as we continue to work to create a better future for all. So as you can tell, Mike and I are a little hot today between the Trump indictment and this. Let me just say one thing. I'll turn this over to you, Mike.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from The Indictment of Donald Trump: A Threat to All Americans
"And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this to him, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 % right. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick, along with Mike Speraza. Mike, I think mostly we're going to talk about Trump today, but we have to talk about another dredge of our Erie County community, Mark Poloncarz. But we'll save a little bit of that news about Mark for last. Another fearless leader in New York. Man, what's worse than fearless? He's fearful. He's fearful of his own reputation is all he's really fearful of. That's what I'd say, but we'll save that for last. You do not want to miss his response to the two rapes by migrants, I should say. You do not want to hear his exact ... We're going to read the exact Facebook post. I won't even summarize, I'm going to read you exactly what he has to say. You don't want to miss that at the end of the show. Filled with compassion, I'm sure. So Trump indicted for a fourth time. This is not unexpected. This was by Fulton County DA Fannie Willis. This is for election interference and Trump and many others actually must surrender by August 25th at noon, Mike. Your thoughts initially on Trump being indicted for a fourth time. Well, it's not shocking because they've been telling us for weeks that they were going to make a show of this. Atlanta or Fulton County, they have literally been talking about this for months. They've been talking about mug shots. They've been talking about the whole song and dance of an actual bringing Trump in and going through the fingerprinting, going through the photos. They've been doing this and telling us this for months. So it's not shocking. What is shocking them, Mike, is that you've seen the polls, right? Every time this happens, Trump's numbers skyrocket. His fundraising skyrockets every single time. And now they're doing it again. And this might be the most ridiculous of them all because of the charade and the show that it's going to be. If I was going to use an example, if I'm a Barack Obama and I'm the leader of the party, not saying he is, but maybe he is, I'm saying to myself, the last thing that I want the media and I want law enforcement and I want the legal system to do is prop this guy up anymore because every time we do it, it backfires at us. I'd be like, keep this guy out of your mouth. Keep him away from you. I don't want to hear Donald Trump. I don't want to see Donald Trump. But no, they do the opposite. And I think their hope is, Mike, they get him on one of these charges. I don't think it matters. The people that are voting for Donald Trump, myself included, I'm going to raise my hand. I am voting for Donald Trump no matter what happens. He could get convicted on all 75 indictments and 400 years in prison. I don't care I'm voting for him. Now, if something came out that he was like a child molester or an actual murderer or something, of course that would change. But based on these four indictments, no matter what happens in the courtroom, Donald Trump is not, it's not even a question. He is my vote. I am voting for Donald Trump. That is the president. Yeah. This, this once again, I think shows how self -serving, narcissistic and how deeply Trump derangement syndrome runs in a lot of these people's heads like Fannie Willis. This is the, the reading, I guess I'll, I'll use this out of an article off of Fox. Let's, uh, let's see this by, oh, this was seven hours ago, Houston, Keene of Fox news. This says a 97 page indictment. The charges include violating the Georgia RICO act RICO. If you don't know what that means, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act often, I think you'd hear that it may be for mafia activity, drug activity, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree conspiracy to commit false statements and writings conspiracy to commit filing false documents conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree filing false documents and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. Now former Trump white house chief of staff, Mark Meadows, attorneys, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesbrough, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, and others were also charged out of this years long investigation. Interesting Mike years long investigation. And here we are, August of 2023, just before presidential campaigns really heat up and debates begin. Let's talk about the timing of these indictments. I mean, we had Alvin Bragg start this whole parade off with falsifying business records, uh, you know, accusations against Donald Trump, which was total bullshit Manhattan DA, right? Alvin Bragg Bragg, next federal charges for holding classified records at Mar -a -Lago also bullshit. Go ahead. Justice department council, Jack Smith, then for the January 6th, uh, involvement, he says that Trump had basically instigating that whole event. And then further with, you know, just to layer on it, it was like icing on a cake. He had to hold Trump accountable for even more. And then finally Fulton County, DA Fannie Willis. So just the timing of this, it seems so orchestrated, um, I don't think there's any question in anybody's mind. I don't care who you are, that this has been an orchestrated attempt to take down Donald Trump. So in case nobody saw this yesterday, cause I'm sure you did, and I'm not saying you Mike, but people listening may not have, um, Sam bank from freed, uh, there was news that came out about him shelling out a hundred million dollars of stolen money, by the way, from his FTX funds to Democrat, uh, you know, nominees in the 2022 midterms. So the same day we see this crook, which we all knew were, was a crook by the way, you know, let's not forget that we all said this for a long time. This guy gave a hundred million dollars to democratic candidates across the country. That is on the same day. Also the whistleblower confirmed, um, some of the stuff in the Hunter Biden trial just yesterday. And then this comes out by the way, Mike, we forgot to mention this earlier, Fannie Willis, the genius that she is, ends up screwing up this indictment by the way, and putting it online for public knowledge before they even talk to the grand jury. Right, right. So they were working fast and they were working fast for a reason, right? This is just another show. And again, I'm here for it. I'm on the record. I'm here for it. Why? This is cementing. Donald Trump said he needed one more indictment. I'm going to say he needs one more thing. He needs the Fulton County mugshot and it's over. Once we get the mugshot, this race, not the primary is already over. The primary has been over. Once we get that mugshot, the, the 2024 race is over. It's over completely. That will set Donald Trump over the edge. His face will be on every t -shirt again, raising my hand, I'll buy 20 of them. The Donald Trump mugshot will take him through and carry him through the 2024 election. It's over. Yeah. And this, to your point about this leak, Fannie Willis essentially just simply said, I can't tell you anything. Of course you can't, right? So this was Monday. This is, this is official. The office of the Fulton County clerk or superior and magistrate courts has learned of a fictitious document that has been circulated online and reported by various media outlets to the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. While there have been no documents filed today regarding such, all members of the media should be reminded that documents that do not bear an official case number, filing date and the name of the clerk of courts in concert are not considered official filings and should not be treated as such. This was not a simple mistake is what, uh, let's see here. This was Trump attorneys, Drew Findling and Jennifer Little who slammed this. This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the DA's office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk's office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. How could that be, Mike? Well, how can it be and how can this not just be thrown out? You know, if anyone believes in rule of law and equal justice, how can this just not be thrown out? I think to your point, Mike, like I totally agree. I think nobody who has supported Trump from the beginning has lost the feeling of support for him. I mean, if anything, it's grown and grown and grown. And then the other thing is you just wonder, will independents or any, any liberals at all liberals like Bill Maher, will any of them say, I cannot, I cannot in my right mind vote for anybody on the left anymore. They've taken this far, far too far. And I mean, it's like basically over the cliff and they're falling, waiting to see how hard it's going to, you know, how hard they're all going to hit. Here's the problem, too. In the last six years, we've had numerous people challenge elections. By the way, two of them were that I'm talking about right now were liberals. Hillary Clinton still doesn't believe she lost in 2016 and is on the record saying that. And Stacey Abrams has it, Mike. So if you really give a shit about, you know, hey, we need to bring people to justice, then do it, then go after those two. This is my problem with this whole thing. Like all these liberals, like Harry Sisson, Mr. Gen Z, oh, finally getting justice. That's bullshit. And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams there. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this, too, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 percent right. What does he mean by that? They don't give a shit about Trump. They do, but that's short term. They know that at most Trump's got four years left. They give a shit about all of us that can think clearly and that know they're all full of shit. That's what they're concerned about. The MAGA movement, they're petrified of it. And they need to take out its leader. And they're coming after us next. I promise you that. Well, let's talk about what can actually work in terms of Trump getting elected, in terms of stopping this crazy liberal freight train. Is it simply election? Is it actually GOP members stepping up and actually getting the balls to do something? Like do something. That would help. Stop threatening. Stop reporting. Like they're the town criers. Oh, have you seen what's going on there? Whoa, that's wrong. Oh, my gosh. What's this Fannie Willis thinking? Whoa. What was Alvin Bragg's thinking? This is this is unconstitutional. You just hear it. It's like it's like just it's like white noise now. You just hear all the Republicans, those that even want to say anything. How about the ones that never say anything? What are we paying you for? Like honestly, what are we paying you for? You're not passing any great legislation. So how about you just get a set of balls and say something? Say in something support or in not support. All you like to do is is sort of thread the needle. Stay on that tightrope. You don't want to go one side or another of the tightrope. You feel like, well, if I support Trump too much, that's not going to look good. But oh, if I if I don't support him, oh, my gosh, what are people going to think of me? Like stop thinking of what others will think of you. And how about you stand up? How about like a Vivek Ramaswamy type of statement where you actually you understand what's going on in this country and you actually take a side and you don't care who politically the person is. You stand up for what's right or what's wrong. I mean, I'm so tired of this. So do you think elections will make a difference? Do you think that some GOP members can actually make a difference? Do you think the the judicial system might make the difference? Do you think a lot of these things are just going to go basically down? I don't see them going down in many of these states. I mean, in Georgia and New York, D .C., D .C. I mean, I mean, really, like you look at this and you think, boy, these just have to be appealed and probably all the way headed right to the Supreme Court. My thoughts, honestly, are the Supreme Court right now can help. But at this point, forget Kevin McCarthy, forget Mitch McConnell, forget all the bursar artists that are in Congress, forget them all. If there's one thing that can change this and it's you, the people, you, the people are the only thing that can change this political weaponization, this political persecution. And to be honest with you, this banana republic government we got, there's one thing you can do and it's vote and it's go vote for Donald Trump. That is the one thing that we can do, Mike. Forget the courts. Forget all that. Go vote for Donald Trump. That is the only thing that we as Americans can do. Your congressmen won't do it. Your congresswomen won't do it. There's less than I bet, Mike, two percent that actually know what the hell is going on or are not part of that uni -party. There's less than two percent. I'll say a Matt Gaetz is one of those, right? I'll say a Byron Donalds is probably one of those, right? Those types of guys are the people that we need. Now, again, even with them, there's not enough of them, Mike. We need us, the voter, to take care of this. Go vote for Donald Trump and get rid of the con men. Get rid of the B .S., the Bidens, the Clintons, the Obamas. Get rid of them all. Go vote and take care of it. So it's easy to become just sort of a witness or a spectator to all of this, right? We all sit back and then at your kitchen table or as you're having a beer, having some chicken wings here in Buffalo anyway, maybe across the country, just not as good. You start talking about these things. And then to your point, Mike, people at election time think they need to just distance themselves from these things. They need a mental health break. They need to just they need to just watch and see what happens. Let's just see how the cards fall. Well, this house of cards that Joe Biden's administration and he has built, it's coming down, guys. I mean, it's burning like Maui right now. And it's just it just hasn't come to your doorstep yet. That's the problem. Until it hits your doorstep, you're not evacuating, right? You're not jumping into the ocean like these people in Maui have had to do. It's just a terrible tragedy there, which, by the way, Joe Biden doesn't have any time to comment on. By the way, let's not forget that, you know, actual disaster going on in California and Hawaii right now. But Joe Biden, baby, he's got to go ride his bike. He's got a vacation. So don't don't interrupt that. He's actually headed, I think, this week to Texas or something to can't find his way to Hawaii, though. God forbid he does that or God forbid he sends his vice president. Can't do that. How vile is that team that he has around them around him? I mean, they're the ones running the show. We know that. So it's just a it's such a corrupt and vile group to not say we got to get Joe out in front of the microphone for this. I mean, we've got to at least talk about the lives being lost, the federal assistance that we're going to provide, just something. Not a thing. And that's not Joe Biden. I mean, Joe Biden can't can't make sense of anything. And we know that. Like, that's clear. We know that. I mean, there's so much evidence now to say that I can say it without really saying, well, you never know. No, we know. But his team. Yeah. I mean, Dr. Jill, what are you saying, Joe? Maui's burning like it'll likely be thousands of people will have died on Maui because of fires and extreme wind and spreading of the wildfires. And he doesn't set a word. And you, Jill, don't have a you know, at any like no respect at all, no, no decency to tell your husband, get in front of a microphone, for God's sake, and say something about the people on Maui. They're U .S. citizens. But to your point earlier about voting, that's the problem. People get what I call election dementia. They completely forget how we got to the extreme, horrible, horrible conditions that we end up getting to. And then at election time, Mike, right about now, somehow the Democrats are going to come out and say, wow, look what's happening. Climate change is destroying island, beautiful islands like Maui. Crime is it's just it's taking over American cities. We can change that. We will help you. We will give. Right. We're Santa Claus. We will give. And then everybody votes for these people again. Yeah. And by the way, you know, Mike, to point of we will give the we will give costs everybody that actually works money. Right. So it sounds great in theory. Yeah. I said this to my mom was text me the other day about I forgot what it was. And I'm like, oh, you didn't know that money just grows on trees. Yeah. You just go over there. I'll just pick off that leave. It's money like that. That's what government treats everything like. And like we talk about all the time, we're both business owners. If I say to a company that I'm doing advertising with, you know, just give me give me five million. I'll take five million dollars advertising. No, no worries. Then they say, Mike, you got to pay for it. Well, what? That's not to pay. I thought I only had to pay ten thousand dollars. What do you mean I'd pay five? That's not a good deal for me. Yeah. What? Well, Mike, you signed a contract to pay us five million advertising. No, no, I didn't. OK. You know what I'll do? I'll just go ask all my clients for an extra five thousand dollars apiece and I'll pay my advertising. You can't do that in business, right? It's the business owner, the government, that if you're going to make deals, you've got to live with those deals and pay for them, right? Not expect everybody else to. What they do, Mike, as you always say, is they'll make these things up, right? And then they'll say, we've solved the problem. Crime? Yeah, we can't believe it's so bad either, but we have the solution. No, Kathy Hochul, you are the problem. You are not the solution. Joe Biden, no, you are not the solution. You are the problem. But Mike, to your point, the way they market it is that this, you know, we're here to save you. The problem is the saving comes from our pockets and the listener's pockets and the people that work pockets, the people that are retired that work their asses off pockets. And even then, Mike, they take all that money from us and it doesn't do a damn thing because they don't know what to do with it. Contracts. I mean, contracts involve people that have an intellect, right? You got to understand what contract are you stepping into. You've got to have integrity to follow through on the contract, right? The two sides agree to something. And you've got to then trust that each other will actually abide by the contract. Those qualities don't exist in many of these liberal progressive minds, intellect, integrity, trust. It's all about them. It's all about them. And then the problem is they will actually sign contracts and then think that it doesn't apply to them, even though they signed it. Right. So I think it's out the window now, like the idea of compromise and, you know, let's let's make agreements and all that. It's out the window. It's out the window. These people don't care. We see it every day. We see crime in cities and then we're told, let's not hold these people accountable. Let's let's let's deflect from the true reasons for these things. Let's hold guys like Trump accountable for actions that we can't even prove. But you know what? He has he has all the right in the world, Mike, to prove he's innocent. Right. That, according to Nancy Pelosi, this is upside down. And it won't turn right side up unless we get a guy like Trump, maybe just maybe we get a guy like Vivek Ramaswamy either side by side with Trump or somehow integrated within a Trump administration. And then maybe I have some hope, maybe some more optimism. And lastly, before we get to our pal Mark Polancarz, I do just want to say I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. And I mean this right. I don't care if you're a liberal, if you're independent or if you're conservative. If you think that this is the right way to do business in the United States, I say do business, not actual business, but you get what I'm saying? If this is what you think the right way is, then you need to go do some history on the Stalin regime, on Hitler's regime, on Benito Mussolini's regime. Do me a favor and go read about that. In those days, there were no such thing, Mike, as opposition, right? If you opposed, you got killed, right? And we're not killing Donald Trump yet, by the way. I'm going to say yet because I think that's next when all these sham four indictments don't work. That's where they're going next, right? So I hope Donald Trump has his taste testers. I hope Donald Trump has the secret service because I fear for that man's life and I pray for that man because I'm seriously concerned about it. This is dangerous. And if you are an American and you think this is the right way, there is something seriously wrong with you, right? Something said, you know, people could say, oh, Donald Trump said lock her up about Hillary. Okay. He did say that. Did he put his whole Department of Justice against Hillary Clinton like this? Did he do any of this? Because I don't think he did. No. Right. And some people wish he had done that. Right. I mean, a lot of us. Looking back, he probably should have. A lot of us say that might have been the only place he went wrong. He had a couple of years in power and he could have really slammed the door on all these accusations about Hillary Clinton and the bleach bidding of documents and the slamming and the smashing of cell phones and all that. He didn't do it. And we wish he would have. Would it have changed, turned the tide? I don't know. You know, we won't know. But after two years as a president, he kind of lost his ability to do it. I mean, he started to focus on America, which I'm glad he did. But I don't know. Well, I mean, we'll have to see how this one more indictment changes, turns the tide. Again, I think stalwart Trump supporters are not swaying. It's a matter of getting others to say, what on earth will it take for you to say this is a liberal, far, far leftist government that doesn't care about justice for all? Are you going to continue to align yourself with them or not? And time will tell. Let's talk a little bit about Erie County executive Mark Polancarz. Mark Polancarz has often been there at the forefront of cleanup, is what I'd say. One that comes to mind, Mike, was the winter storm and not adequately preparing and actually declaring an emergency. So I remember it like this, and this is just my recollection. We knew, we knew from the Midwest there were nasty, massive storms coming across the country, right? Ice storms, devastating winds like 70, 80 mile per hour winds. They were on their way. So we knew that the night before, let's say 10 o 'clock at night, 9 o 'clock at night the night before. And all through the night, we hear nothing. We hear nothing. We hear nothing. People get on the roads at 7, 730, 8 o 'clock in the morning, and then all hell broke loose. The snow was flying, it was blizzard, blizzard conditions, somewhat like the 1977 blizzard of western New York, of Buffalo. And everybody that was out on the roads was at peril. Many of them got stuck in vehicles. They ended up trying to leave their vehicles, and many, many actually died. And what did we hear afterward? We heard Mark Polancarz say, wow, this was just a devastating storm. Wow, we're going to try and get out there and save as many people as possible, right? We need to do all the right things. He came out, but he made a grave error by not pronouncing closing the throughway at 11 p .m. the night before, right? Or 10 p .m. the night before. Get off the throughways. Get off the roads. You will not be able to report to work, right? Government officials and everybody, right? They all love to do mandates, Mike. Why wouldn't he make a mandate then? So anyway, he's always at the forefront of the cleanup efforts. And he does the apology tour or the, you know, I'm not that bad. Come on, this went wrong, but I'm not that bad. What did he say of late? So this was sent to me actually by Stefan Mihaylo. Here we go. This is a Facebook post, folks. Now this is, mind you, a week after two people were raped, right? One person has tuberculosis in the area. All legal, by the way, shouldn't be here, okay? This is what he says. While the last few days haven't been the best I've had in office, I think back to everything this community has gone through since 2020. The COVID pandemic, the mass shooting, terrible storms, and the Christmas blizzard, the Damar Hamlin incident, Jason Arno's tragic death, and so much more. And know that a few political hits and rough days against me are nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to what others have had to face. My team and I will come out stronger as we continue to work to create a better future for all. So as you can tell, Mike and I are a little hot today between the Trump indictment and this. Let me just say one thing. I'll turn this over to you, Mike.

"Fraud in the 2020 presidential election that the prosecutor felt it was useful to have an impartial group of citizens look into this and clear the air. If that's the purpose then having the information come out probably was a good idea. Drew findling one of Trump's Georgia attorney suggested that these interviews, the four persons interviews could be used against the prosecutor if there are indictments and he said the lens now provided by this four person into the lack of seriousness and respect for this process that existed behind the grand jury walls is truly shocking to the legal conscience. Is there anything he can do with that if there is an indictment of Trump? That's absurd. First off, it's not the grand jury that indicted the president that said issue here. Whether this grand jury was extraordinarily serious or completely clownish has nothing to do with anything if a separate grand jury does not decide that the president should be indicted he will not be indicted. Fulton county superior court judge Robert mcburney, who oversaw the grand jury, essentially said that she hadn't violated her oath, because you can't talk about your deliberations, but you can talk about other things. Is that different from federal grand juries? A federal grand jury secrecy is extremely broad, but then again, the federal government does not usually employ special grand juries of this kind. So it

When you see video of Cardi B leaving the courthouse after assault charges were reduced to misdemeanors, you can see Atlanta attorney drew Finland walking beside her. And now he may be walking next to an even bigger celebrity in the most high profile case you can think of. Finland will be representing former president Donald Trump if he's indicted for trying to overturn the Georgia presidential election in 2020. Joining me is Bloomberg legal reporter David vor yakis, who interviewed findling. Hashtag $1 billion lawyer. Tell me what that's about. Drew Finley is a defense lawyer in Atlanta who's built quite a reputation over the last decade, representing hip hop stars in reality people who've been caught in legal or criminal problems and he's gotten a number of people either acquitted or had their charges reduced and he's built such a reputation that one of the rappers that he represented called him the hashtag $1 billion lawyer. This was a guy named young Dahl, who Finland was visiting in Hollywood after he'd been shot. The nickname has stuck at young doll died in 2021 from 22 gunshots. And he represented Cardi B in that trial? There was an assault case in The Bronx, it involved assaults at two different strip clubs. And she had assault charges that were reduced to misdemeanors. He's also represented the rapper waka flocka flame, who had a gun charge after there was a weapon found in his bag at the Atlanta airport and he was acquitted and he also represented several members of the ref group Migos, most particularly after they were arrested at a concert at Georgia southern university. He's also represented other celebrities like Alvin Kamara, the New Orleans Saints running back and the record to baby. David, I have to congratulate you for saying waka flocka flame without hesitation. And findling feigned started with representing Atlanta rappers, and he says he's gone out of his way to try to understand rappers. They find that he is a very constant lawyer who also listens to them and gives them life advice and he's had a good track record of success. He's been defense lawyer in and around Atlanta for nearly 40 years. And so he knows the prosecutors and the judges and the jurors and able to connect with juries in a very powerful way that's brought him a lot of good results. He also connects personally with the various hip hop people that he represents. His practice goes beyond just criminal representation or is he just a criminal defense lawyer? He's a criminal defense lawyer who also does civil cases as well. And, well, he primarily built a really good reputation in the Atlanta area in the last decade or so he's done cases all over the U.S.. I always find that a lawyer's office says a lot about the lawyer. I know you visited his office. Tell us about it. It's an office in an upscale office park in the Buckhead neighborhood in Atlanta and there are dozens of framed photographs and newspaper clippings of him with his clients for whom he's gotten good results through the years. And there's also three large paintings in the entry room. One is of Sam Adams one is a thurgood Marshall and one is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He has supported progressive legal causes through the years. He was the president for a year of the national association of criminal defense lawyers where he made a number of speeches and he supports people who are he believes unjustly detained and believes that the criminal justice system is tilted against black and brown dependence. So as you said, he supports progressive legal, causes he criticized Trump during his time in The White House once calling him racist and pathetic in a tweet. Why is he taking on Trump as a client? Well, that's not entirely clear to me except this he defends himself by saying that he's able to separate his clients and his commitment to the law and serving them from his personal life and his personal beliefs and personal political beliefs. Do you know how Trump found him or why he selected him out of all the attorneys in Atlanta? Drew fiddling said that some lawyers who worked with Trump reached out to him and interviewed him and that he ended up becoming his advocate in Atlanta. At this point, he's representing him in presumably trying to persuade the district attorney funny willows to avoid indicting Trump. Our understanding is that he would also represent him at trial, but I guess we'll have to see what happens when and if that becomes necessary. And you spoke to colleagues of his who said that he's very good at convincing prosecutors not to bring charges. Right. It's not only that these excellent on his feet in the courtroom and at birth across examiner and can really bond with a jury. But that he understands how state and federal cases are constructed and can convince prosecutors many times to either forgo charges altogether or not bring the charges that are a serious as their initially contemplating, so it could well be that his service to Donald Trump is in convincing funny Willis not to charge him at all. And do you know if he has met Trump yet? It's not clear to me if he's met him, but I know that he's spoken with him. What did he say if anything about Trump's case? He said a few things that sort of in reference to Trump's case, one about the RICO statute. He would not talk about the terms of his engagement or Trump's case specifically. What he would talk about is the reco statute, which, of course, is the racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act under Georgia law, which is something that funny will us to just attorney has brought a number of times, particularly in her war on gang violence in Atlanta.
