alvin bragg, is moving toward a likely indictment. trump posted this yesterday on his truth social site calling for his supporters to take action. now illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political manhattan district attorney s office indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven and based on an old and fully he debunked fairy tale, the far and away leading republican candidate and former president of the united states of america will be arrested on tuesday of next week. protest. take our nation back. this is an immense challenge for the media. many of whose members have longed for trump to be prosecuted. to be fair to an ex-president facing charges in a 6-year-old matter a this most people just don t consider that important. i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. howard: it was just six days ago that donald trump had his lawyer make the tv rounds to defend him in stormy daniels case. in a lengthy clash with ari melbe, attorney joe tacopina said trump d ....
at risk. the people have won a victory. the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. today starts an era of very, very, very big government where government that decides if you re going to have a baby or not. some days you get to celebrate and give thanks that you were alive when our prayers were finally answered, and the united states of america finally did the right thing. today is one of those days. it s unbelievable. i go between despair and anger. it s a heartbreaking betrayal of half of the country. you know, watching the women there, i get emotional. voters get to decide how they want to live. that s an extreme ideology that upsets the balance of power somehow? the right enshrined in the constitution as intimate as i any right you could imagine has been discarded and destroy by five unelected justices. the democrats are being dishonest about this decision. a desperate attempt to scare their voters into turning ....

[laughter] but broadly speaking, educate our audience, won t these extra costs be passed on to consumers? well, of course they are. i mean, that s why it s so idiotic, what the president said. first of all, the deposit the money comes out of the fdic deposit pool p. the banks pay into that pool. heavy got to pay more into it, they pass the fee on to their depositors. guess who concern everybody in the country is a depositor the at a bank. that means everybody in the country is going to be taxed, essentially, for this. so it s kind of, it s one of the couplest things i ve ....

I ve covered this for a really long time because of pursuit of white collar criminals, it s always a political office, but i ve never seen anything this to vrtly political from the sitting attorney general who actually runs on the fact that i m going to get this guy, i m bike to get donald trump. and then she brings, then she goes and tries to get him. it s taking a level of partisanship which and this is a law enforcement office, we should point out to just another level. and, again, the media s not really questioned that. leticia james was involved in andrew cuomo s problems, right? howard: andrew cuomo, she wanted to run for governor, she decided not to. then you can make your point. real estate is incredibly complicated when you get into valuations and bank loans and some of this is subjective. even the new york times says a case like this could be hard to prove. but i don t see much media skepticism. it s as if it goes back to our last segment when we talked about allegation ....
