after being convicted. watch a little bit of this. we will be playing different clips throughout the morning but here is some. >> pete: this is your first interview against the verdict. it's been 48 hours. where is your head at? >> look, i'm fighting tort constitution. i'm fighting for the same thing as you three. i watch you all the time. same thing do you you fight for freedom. you fight for your country. these people are sick, they are sickle. they are deranged. i talk about the enemy on the outside and the enemy from within. you have china, china, you have a smart president you always handle him quite easily. we have a lot of advantages. the enemy from in, they are doing damage to this country. they want open borders. they want high interest rates. they now want to quadruple your taxes. all my life i watch politics it was always like politicians want to lower taxes not quadruple them. there is a whole sickness going on right now. so it was a tough venue. we tried to get out of the venue. we tried to get out of the
expense. i paid a legal expense, it's marked down as a legal expense. they say that's a fraud. they shouldn't have allowed certain people to testify. it was totally i don't think that they did that. everyone tells me this is the easiest case they have seen to overturn but they don't care. they want it to also a until after the election. only problem they have is so far my poll numbers have gone up. pete maybe can explain it to me. maybe will can, they are smart in texas, right? the poll numbers have gone up. substantially. >> will: you changed your tone at some point during the trial. i would say maybe a bit more hopeful in the beginning and toward the end you said something to the effect of even mother teresa couldn't be acquit in the this venue. was there a moment that it turned or you saw it was headed in a certain direction? >> when your lawyers object to something. nice people, you know, i have had a lot of lawyers that weren't nice, and sometimes
better off that way. these are fine people. not accepted. not accepted. when the government, meaning the d.a., bragg, when he said something, all right. good. that's fine. go ahead, more, more, more. think of it. but the main thing is this was turned down by the southern district. this is over -- this could have been brought seven years ago. they tried to rush it because they wanted it before the election. this could have been brought seven years ago but they didn't have any intention. a case like this has never been brought before. and never a case where a state has gone after federal election. in other words, that's for like the southern district to go. southern district turned it down. we got clearance from the fec. federal election commission clearance. they are suing saying we violated the thing but they gave us clearance. >> pete: we're going to move on to other topics too. moving forward, they have set the arraignment date for four
let's not be good what difference does it make? >> pete: try to create heaven here. >> steve: he wants to heaven after a week he pretty much went through hell dragged through the court system. >> lawrence: i will say this, i think one of the fascinating things is his ability to work constantly. i think in an election where it's going to be so he close. look at the polling back and forth you see swing states. you see the rcp average where it's going to be a few million that's going to decide the election, you need a president that is going to be able to go on the campaign trail, if he is able, to if he is not jailed or on house arrest to actually campaign. >> ainsley: we know some people that talk to him right after the verdict. they all said he was in great spirits. i understand why that's number one and the number one question that people ask him how do you do this? >> brian: back to his last sentence, his first sentence are they going to do it again? are are we going to go back in georgia in fulton county.
>> lawrence: that's where the young people are. >> brian: x. friends with elon musk now? >> ainsley: is he on x. is he on truth social. >> brian: he doesn't do anything. >> steve: steve. >> lawrence: the problem with x only media people. not the american public at large. >> ainsley: young people are on take. our age instagram. >> steve: facebook as well. >> brian: 827,000 mee media people following me. he got to be something he got 10 million. >> steve: i think i last posted something on x when i was it twitter i think 2016. >> ainsley: that was the last time you posted on x? >> steve: 2016 or 2018. i just stopped. if i want the news i turn on thissible that. over the weekend rachel, and pete and will sat down at the the president's place in bedminster, new jersey for a wide ranging interview. >> ainsley: first interview
legal expense. they say that is fraud. they shouldn't have allowed certain people to testify, it was totally wrong. everyone says this is easy to overturn. the only problem they have, my poll numbers have gone up. explain this, pete, maybe will can explain it, they are smart in texas, right? poll numbers have gone up substantially. >> will: you changed your tone some point, more hopeful in the beginning and toward end you said even mother teresacouldn't be found innocent. >> nice people, i've had a lot of lawyers that were not nice.
>> lawrence: he shouldn't have any problem. >> ainsley: look at the polls and see if this is helping or hurting him. will that help or hurt him if we see president trump behind bars? he will have secret service with him. >> steve: he will appeal, you can't until you are sentenced. i sentence you to blank and blanche will raise his hand. >> ainsley: he's raised 200 million since. >> lawrence: pete and rachel are coming up, they asked trump about what he would declassify. >> ainsley: department of education, too. >> lawrence: two nypd officers shot overniept, what we're learning about the venezuelan migrant suspect. >> brian: illegal.
joining me is, your name, will, rachel and pete? nice to meet you. were you surprised by that, rachel? >> rachel: yeah, actually. i loved them. i think a lot of young people like that answer. i think there is a lot of trust in government lost to covid, wars we should not have been in, iraq war, this war. people want to know what is going on behind the scenes and people have lost trust. positive thing for donovan schultz, he looks like an outsider who would do that. he is running against insiders. >> will: rachel asked that in terms of loss of institutional trust, would this e gain instit institutional trust? i think the public feels censored and by intelligence
these are really fine people. they would object, not accepted, not accepted. when the government, d.a., alvin bragg, said something, all right, that is fine, more, more, more. think of it. main thing this was turned down by southern district. this could have been brought seven years ago. they did not have any intention, case like this has never been brought before and a state has never gone after a federal election. that is for southern district. we got clearance from the fec. they are suing saying we violated, they gave us cl clearance. >> pete: moving forward, they set arraignment date four days
lot of republican coalescing around the former because the united states, and i will just point out, kate, it does seem that appearing in court does pay off for donald trump because look at the trump big fundraising days. there was the new york arraignment back back here in last year, we have the georgia indictment, these two dates are actually flipped here and then the new york conviction here. what do we see? we see the again, a huge, big fundraising day, thursday's amount was about twice the amount of his prior record. so the fact is donald trump seeing big fundraising. again, look at this yeah in 48 hours. the equivalent of about a month. yeah. >> both men are going to have enough money to run for president. >> one thing i think i think we can conclude. i think that that's exactly right. this race has not going to ultimately be about money. it's gonna be about the message that's going to be driven home by the money still very interesting though. >> thank you here. thank you, john. all right. well, this now, pete, seat, former spokesman for george w bush in the white house, and vice president of bose public affairs group and keith boys in a democratic strategist and former aide in the clinton white house, you both look way too young to have worked in
