The people are not losing faith in the system. We have LOST faith in the system. You are right about one thing, though. It is disgusting.
We’ve lost faith because they’re letting trump get away with so many crimes. Don’t lose faith justice is finally catching up to him.
chump is responsible for eroding our trust in the system.
The system is still holding, despite Trump's efforts to destroy it. He has made quite clear that he will destroy it if he manages to get back into office and that is what you people in the US will have to avoid.
AMEN! 🙏🇺🇸
I always wonder why the States don't have more say of what they do than a corrupt Feds system, we have 50 of the same departments
Why can’t you hold James and Bragg accountable too? DO SOMETHING WITH OVERSITE NOW!
Biden won't allow it, he's got a puppet somewhere controlling him and what gets done to Trump
I thought that it was illegal to falsely accuse?
Bragg and James are not subject to federal government oversight, they are State of New York officials. 10 A prevents federal tampering in State proceedings.
The Federal Goverment can not interfere with State proceedings. Reference 10A.
@@idesofmarch1375if you have a grand jury indictment there is no false accusation. It has already been determined that evidence is sufficient to try the case, and as such there also can be no wrongful prosecution unless the evidence would be found to be inaccurate via tampering, collusion, or perjury.
Very disgusting and disappointed Justice systems!
🤡 the justice system is doing it's job. No person is about the law. Trump is a career criminal and it's about time he pays the price.
The fact that all of these Washington establishment types are showing up at a State criminal trial means someone's ass is in trouble.
You are spot on.
Huh?
About 330 million asses if Trump doesn't get re-elected.
@@bobisgollis5168 confused maga? why am I not surprised.
@@bobisgollis5168 awwwwwe maga is confused... what else is new
Secure Our Border Johnson !
Trump told him not to! Pay attention!!
@@yellowblue8903you know this because you were on the phone call or in the room??
@nic, because Republican members of Congress are on video admitting he told them to kill the bill.
@@yellowblue8903Ha ha. Repeating what you're brainwashed to believe. 🫵🤡
Tell that to Biden, Schumer, and the democrats! HR-2 passed the house in October! It's still on Schumer's desk! Biden opened it on day one of his election! And the last border bill was a joke!
We have lost faith already.
I have not. A few lunatics deflecting is not a total loss. Giving up is. But victims like Johnson and Trump
Vote...run for office.
Be the world you want to live in.
South Korea, Japan, France and other democratic countries have imprisoned former heads of state. It's time America got with the times and demonstrate why we keep telling the world that we are "the greatest country in earth" and imprisoned Donald Trump.
We have plenty of faith in our founding documents. Why aren't they being used to make the judges and courts do things lawfully?
Because they ARE doing things lawfully.
I don't think you understand New York City court system I'm from New York it is more corrupt than Joe Biden
I imagine you are referring to judge Cannon, who wants avoid trial and conviction of Trump before the elections.
@@erikwillemcoenen7473 yeah just to get a reverse like Harvey Weinstein 2 weeks ago the judges in New York state already saying they would dismiss this case because the court violated president Donald Trump civil rights and three other things anyway stay tuned is getting juicy
They are. Trump committed crimes, he was arrested and the trials have started.
CLOSE THE BORDER !
Who is going to pick your veggies??? You?,,Yea right
That’s not even an issue! Russian BOT!
We're not talking about the border. Sure, change the subject because you can't defend the indefensible.
Over 2 k miles patriots should block the borde hahaha
We had a bill, Johnson chose NOT TO READ IT.
✌️
They say Trump can’t talk, but they canst stop others from speaking out about the evil ones.
He can’t talk about the jury…. No one should…
Thank God for others that can and will
People should talk more about how evil Donald trump is, I agree!
He can talk about the judge and Bragg, but not the jury and witnesses.
Lieing for jesus.
Thank you Speaker Johnson for those statements. It's good to hear that at least some Republicans at not afraid to speak out about what all of Americans see in live time.
Bravo Soeaker! I am so proud that you are standing up for the rights of people to have extramarital affairs with porn stars and pay them off!
The guilt of an ex president.
RINO
MR SPEAKER, STOP TALKING AND FIX THIS! RIGHT NOW!!!!! YOU STOP IT! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
You realize it doesn’t work that way right? He can’t just stop a trial in the State of New York! Maybe some time studying how the US Government works might behove you before typing a rant that is completely unfounded and completely uneducated!
So let me get this straight...you want an elected official, the Speaker of the House no less, to circumvent the Constitution of the United States and attempt to stop a State trial by violating the 10th Amendment...am I understanding you correctly?
Thought so...tourist.
So, you want the Speaker of the House of Representatives to violate the 10th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States to stop a valid, State of New York prosecution...like THAT'S gonna happen😂😂😂
At least do some homework on the legal system and branches of State and Federal government BEFORE commenting. Sit down, you're embarassing yourself.
hes in the wrong part of the government, unless you want him to weaponize the government to help trump.
@@DMKFACTORYour right but there are many things he can do and today is just the start of many to come. It doesn't matter anyway, we the people, will suffer from what's coming. Trump, speaker, WH or the senate are safe from all the fall out from this. The goverment is shut down now until the election, after today.
Speaker Johnson show the people with action you are standing on the right Thank you for today
He is embrrassment to the country
💯💯AGREE!!!!!!!!!! MIKE J NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION!!!! TO DAY! I AM SICK OF HIS WORDS WITH OUT ACTION!💯💯😡😡😡😡
He is just trying to secure his job when Trump wins.
Iittle Mike's job is to attend court hearings of other people 😂
he showed how scared he is of losing his job,
Then do something about it. Investigate the investigators and prosecute them.
It will happen just wait 😊
Biden would simply pardon them at this point. For now they have to be patient.
Bidens Disgusting DOJ won't let us.
Based on what? You need a proven crime first
@@JCB576 You're literally pointing out the basis with your own question. It's a crime to bring an indictment against someone without the slightest evidence of a crime being committed. The prosecution in this case is absolutely guilty of that.
Crooked judge
Crooked system.
If you violate campaign law. You will also be prosecuted. Trump was just stupid enough to get caught in front of everybody. The evidence was overwhelming
Cannon sure is crooked.
Crooked defendant more like it
No, it's crooked lying donald trump.
Every Republican elected official across America must get behind this immediately and hold these unethical judges and prosecutors accountable with consequences.
Bot
Y'all still don't get it. Trump is the unethical, criminally indicted by a Grand Jury defendant. The consequences are his, not theirs.
Ah, no. Not a bot. But an American who supports President Trump. Nice try though, Troll.
Ah, no. Not a bot. But an American who supports President Trump wholeheartedly. Nice try though.
The problem is that they aren't being unethical. They are lawfully doing their jobs.
Admit that holding D.Trump accountable is what you find outrageous.
It should be illegal for our coequal branch of government and speaker of the house to do a campaign event, such as this for a criminal defendant!🤬🤬🤬
No different than a previous and sitting president stumping for corrupt governor in recall vote in California that we know he did win far and square 🤬🤬🤬
Who is responsible for overseeing these people? And why are they not doing their jobs to disbar and jail these criminals!
VERY GOOD POINT!🎉
State of New York oversees the State's Attorney's office, as it also does the State District Attorneys. 10A prevents the federal goverment from tampering in State proceedings.
They can't be disbarred for doing their jobs.
🤡😆😆😆 you don't know how anything works! The only criminal is Trump. He was indicted by a fair and impartial grand jury. If he's didn't want to go to trial, don't forge documents.
Not sure which criminals you are talking about
Melania must be so proud of Donald
@@user-ut1zq7lc3e , Of course, she is could you have withstood all this abuse by the government and still get over 100k people at your rally in a BLUE STATE?
Oh, so he IS on our side...today.
Mike Flippity Dippity
Yup, today he’s on the side of evil
@@elephantoflight3362 The side of ignorance deception and hatred…YOUR side - EVERY day.. It’s clear and it’s PATHETIC
@@lizzieb6311 Any evidence?
@elephantoflight3362 *yawn* You're not fooling anyone who isn't a fool. 🫵🤡
We have a jury. Please go back to work.
We have a bunch of partisan, NYC hacks who would be unmasked by the media & court personnel if they don't rubber stamp 'guilt'.
Johnson should not use the American people for this issues
Johnson's hands are too small to help America.
Yes he should of. Fake trials going on because of the news media
President Donald J. TRUMP, we love and support you and true America stand with you. We will not fall. Thank you
He's not the President, nor will he ever be again.
America does NOT stand with Traitor Trump.
Mr Johnson, I wish RFK had THIS daily exposure. By this daily exposure Trump doesn’t have to campaign. This trial is his campaign
Lol RFK has no chance no matter how much exposure.
RFK is a socialist
Remember RFK literally just said he is fine with abortions all the way till birth! I commented to him explaining that is infanticide! What do they think full term abortions are? I asked…Seems some Dems think Putting a baby down is like putting a cat or dog down!😢 after it’s born!? Seriously. He said it. 😔
Maybe Trump was behind this all along lol
🤡
Mr.Johnson And Mr. Scott You Both Have Something In Common With Jellyfish...
Thank you Speaker Johnson! FINALLY, someone (besides DJT himself) defending him against this political injustice. I also appreciate your hard work in the House knowing it cannot be easy.
your orange master was indicted by a jury of his peers
Don't thank the speaker, thank his biggest donors who called him up and gave him his marching orders.. and
@@brupeboring how much coolaid does it take to make someone take sides at a psyops deepstate run puppet show?
DTJ himself is asleep 50% of the time during this trial. The proof is so overwhelming, all receipts are there. Nothing left to defend him or himself with.
He is classified supercriminal for a reason.
The people of New York better open their eyes and vote these deceitful politicians out.The corrupt DA and the Judge
The judge was appointed by the NY chapter of the DNC. Bragg was sponsored by Soros.
National heroes!!
Do you have any evidence of corruption?
@@elephantoflight3362 Pushing charges for an alleged crime where defendant was already cleared by the DOJ and the FEC. Placing an unconstitutional gag order, and threatening the defendant with arrest to prevent them from attending a supreme court hearing for another case.
@@wrestleXrock
Oh I didn’t realize that he had been cleared of these crimes.
Considering this is the first time a president has EVER sat in front of a court room for crimes.
When was he “cleared” on a judicial level exactly?
Or are you just making that up?
Speaker Johnson I appreciate you. Thanks for speak your thoughts and truths. This is a sham trail just to keep president Trump too busy to campaign. This will make more people determined to get out and vote.🇺🇸
All the Trumpers came out in 2020 and it wasn't enough. Only way the unSunkist Orange makes it back is if Democrats DON'T come out to vote.
Kiss the ring, pal.
Finally, someone with guts laid out the truth.
Lol he is a RINO just trying to save his own a$$
YES...FINALLY
Corrupt DA and corrupt Judge
How?
Truth hurts when you lie as much as trump lies
They all Are
More like guilty orange.
They are national heroes!!
This person should not be speaker of the house
HE THINKS JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS INJUSTICE IS ALL HE HAS TO DO! HE NEEDS TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST BIDEN FOR THIS RIGHT NOW! AND FIX THIS OR WE DONT HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE. 😡😡😡😡😡😡
@@christineexum I don't think Biden caused this. I don't even think he has any involvement in this trial.
On my God! This is crazy!
Once this is done and all over with, power should be taken away from these DA's.
Because we are fighting a spiritual battle with Satan. We can win if we get back to God. Only He can win this. May the eyes of those under Satan's control be opened.
Ah yes, fascism is the solution to everything, isn't it...😂😂😂
Calm down Susan. That's not how things work.
You should break the law and see what they would do to your behind.

I am sorry people, This man has made it impossible to look at him and take seriously.
What man

Speaker Johnson
I totally agree with you
This is not bout MJ it’s not even about DJT it is about Justice and Corruption.
@user-dc7tt2dc8g
Let me see if I have this right
You bring in one of congresses most corrupt politicians, a major back stabbing lier, a complete sell out
To what oh Stand for non corruption.
No it is not the time to remove Johnson, but it is an absolute tactical mistake to make him a face of leadership in the party.
The largest crowds ever 😧😂🤣
the people are fed up with YOU mike johnson!!!
Kevin McCarthy would never have been near these proceedings.
I guess they had to get rid of him so they could continue their downward SPIRAL!
Speaker McCarthy would never have done a deal with democrats to keep his gavel.
McCarthy would not have stepped down unless he KNEW this clown would follow. He is probably still pulling all of the strings right nest to Pelosi! He is the efing RINO Leader!!
False. Yes, he would.
Johnson definitely a trump enabler
What type of attorney were you to think a defendant in a criminal trial doesn't have to be present during his/her trial, a real estate attorney ?
They always try to use the American people, as if all of us agree... Man please
True. The antisocial (one of the traits) is they speak in "Broad Generalities." Example: "The New York Times Says...." NO, it was one person at the NYT. If you KNOW how to spot the antisocial this becomes easy. Some ot the other points are: 1. They pass on bad news and delete the good. 2. They have a bad sense of property (the idea that anyone owns anything is a sham). 3. They support destructive groups and rail against groups that actually help (Soros). Lastly they do these things because they are afraid of having their own transgressions brought to light and so divert attention away from theirselves. Good luck.
TRUTH..TOTAL SCAM..GO ARREST SOME REAL CRIMINALS 💥
Johnston killed a republican border bill.at the request of trump.he only takes orders .leading is his strength
We've got the REAL criminal!!
Do you have evidence of a scam?
@@elephantoflight3362 It's Obvious Duhhhh, just like Biden got 81 million votes 😂😂😂😂
If you violate campaign law. You will also be prosecuted. Trump was just stupid enough to get caught in front of everybody
It’s utterly despicable that our supposed Speaker is there lying.
He’s not lying about this
@@vivianzuniga8814 Yes he is. Trump is a criminal who took illegal campaign funds for porn star cover-up. He should have just paid out of his own money and kept it all legal.
Remember this - Speaker Johnson is number 2 in line to the president's office. The VP and then him. Number two. 3rd most powerful person in the world. You can't make him do what's coming next, because we all will suffer. Remember.
It is about time Speaker, the Judge, Prescuter and all involved must testify before the congress!
Testify about enforcing the law??? For holding Trump accountable just like every other citizen?? For holding an impartial trial??
Exactly....what is wrong with these people?@@richardhoner7842
What’s a prescuter? Do you mean prosecutor?
Ever hear of the 10th Amendment? Give it a read before you make a fool of yourself again with this tripe.
@@michellejohnson5217Nah, I think he wants testimony from pre-schoolers...at least they'd speak more intelligently than this one can write...😁
Republicans they do the show not the trial the facts and evidences they show inside the court room 🧑⚖️
Close the damn border!!!!
TRUMP 2024
Republicans, you will recall, blocked a deal on the border.
Trump said no.
I thought mike johnson was a good Christian American. In america no one above the law!
From Scotland……I didn’t know that in US you can have 2 presidents at once! Here was me thinking President Biden was the only one. But wait…..isn’t he the one resides in the White House?
A president keeps the title for his lifetime.
People think that Trump is still president. He thinks he's still president. And speaker Johnson run to him for advise like he is. Which he shouldn't. But that's Washington.
There may be other things you didn't know.
I’m
The Congress is just a bunch of people in a room, given fancy titles, elected by popularity contests, and throwing mud and screaming lies at each other. It's better than a bad King or a cruel Dictator, but there is still a lot of stupid and cruel people running the show.
Once Traitor Trump is in orison, and the NAGAT traitors ejected from Senate and Congress, the nation can recover.
They're all liars.
Well done, sir!❤
It is about time for you to SHOW UP. STAND UP FOR AMERICA JOHNSON!!!!!! YOU HAVEN'T BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUST HIM. Next!
yues hes showing he willing to weaponize the government to protect trump.
Except he shoulda been in frikkin DC doing his job, not kissing up to Trump.
How about working on border control instead of holding Donnie's hand?
@@joemaxwell1044
Brilliant thought, screwing America over extremist Right egos. You want to go through that crap again then maybe you and everyone else that wants him gone should pay all the Congressional salaries when absolutely no legislating is happening
Thank you
Dam I guess the speaker of the house now serves at the discretion of a criminal defendant. So pathetic
.
HOW CAN THIS OCCUR?????? 🙏🇺🇸
Satan is using the spiritually weak as his disposable tools.Thats how.We are in a spiritual warfare!!!!
how?? ..Explanation: You do Crime, ya get arrested, go to court, then to prison.
It's called a legally charged indictment. Trump never challenged the legality of the indictment. It can occur because the Manhattan DA provided the Grand Jury with evidence of crimes. If the jury finds him not guilty, that's because they were bought off by outside means.
Mike Johnson should be on trial
Thank you Speaker Johnson for speaking on Trump's behalf. President Trump 2024 !!!!!!!
Amen. God bless Trump. I pray for his protection.
He will have secret service in prison 👍🏿 no worries.
US Marshalls will take over his security when Donald is in prison.
Speaker Johnson Congress & Supreme Court must Stop the Dem Corruption of Justice System.
I don’t see it. Seems perfectly justified. Mike is a dork.
About time‼️
A sham calling out a sham. Damn I love politics.
How is the trial a sham?
define "sham"
@elephantoflight3362 🫵🤡 How is it not? Please, elaborate with the "evidence" you have.
@@elephantoflight3362 The trial isn't the sham. Mike calling out Donald is a sham calling out a sham
@@jasonsherlock7480 Google it.
Bravo Mike 👏 President Trump 💯 ❤❤❤
If it’s a sham, why did the grand jury agree that there was enough evidence to prosecute?
Thank you
WELL WHEN A TAG IS TAKEN OFF A MATTRESS IT IS PUNISHABLE BY LAW! THE POINT IS THIS IS POLITICAL PERSICUTION 💯! AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE JOE BIDDEN HAS TONS MORE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM FOR RACKETEERING THEN TRUMP WILL EVER HAVE BUT THE DEMS ARE MASTERS AT AIDING AND ABBETTING THEIR EVIL AND THERE FELLOW DEMOCRATS EVIL. THATS A FACT. GOD WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD WITH ALL THIS DEMORAT EVIL THOUGH. PRAISE GOD.💯
I still don't trust him, and don't like him anymore.
I hope Trump doesn't trust him, and stops supporting him.
THAT TURKEY WILL TAKE ANY HELP HE CAN GET! (TRUMP)
Democrats love him. Leave him alone.
I am first, ashamed of my country to do this ,second, I am afraid where this will lead to.
The United States judicial system needs some serious attention, from want to be Judges on down
Here is the thing... If he (Trump) hadn't delayed this thing two years out with his legal loopholes the trial would have started long before now. It wouldn't change the facts though. Who am I to judge this man? I'm not a legal analyst, nor a lawyer, or have any experience that would matter. I'm just a 'Sgt. Snuffy' at this point. But when all the evidence points towards you committing a crime then you cannot call something a sham. Senator Johnson is in a public position, it is shameful that he should use that platform to attempt to defend a criminal defendant in trial for his own (Trumps) crimes. Regardless if he says he is there in his own capacity he made a public statement defending Trump and that could sway jurors.
Thank you for having a back bone with this and the speech on the campuses, Mr speaker.
HUA...AND YOU DONT CALL OUT THE US MARCHES,, TO AREST AND TAKE IT TO ONE OF THE AREMFORSE CORTS..
Finally, Republicans are united 😊❤
Speaker Mike Johnson is not Trump lawyer spokesman but he is a Congressman and needs to speak on the American people issues.
Real shame he’s taking time out to do this when there are infinite issues to cover.
He is supposed to be a MAGA spokesman.
R u high or something ? having a corrupt Justice system is an American issue also
So sad to see that you DONT RECOGNIZE THAT JOHNSON US DEFENDING YOU .. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
Is defending you ..
Grand jury felt it was good enough to go to trial
In NYC, that's meaningless. Legal, but meaningless.
Thank you!
Good for you Mike, the problem is All Lawyers can be Bought!
Maybe MTG should do another Speaker outage vote. I suspect the democrats won’t save Johnson this time.
We have to be careful and not let things divide us now. Dems are great at helping to divide us too. Even posing as Republicans sometimes on social media too. Dems stick together no matter what & thanks how they beat us.
When you don’t have full control of the House & Senate it’s hard to get anything done. So we have to stick together and never vote for any Democrat. And we don’t need to upset independents out there for a new speaker now. We have to stick together because Republicans are doing great now. We have to get the country back on track for us all.
We will continue to support Speaker Mike Johnson as long as he continues to listen to the voices and interest of everyday American people, especially as American people constituted the present government which call for bipartisanship.
We aren't concerned with his deception, untruth, and personal and political life.
@moseskpakor7427 I guess you're okay with him. Receiving $600000 last month from Israel for his campaign fund. Just days after he sent them billions sick of this Disgusting trash
Good idea
EXACTLY
You could have defended this stopped it any time. You just do this for power.
How could he stop this? I'm being serious.
You cant. Ask a lawyer, dum dum
Once you even sniff theses types of proceedings here in the US..."It's too late" as Carole King once said
Wahhhhhh, my puuuuusyyyy hurts 😭😭😭😭
😂🤣
I like how bringing criminals to justice is a travesty when it's your criminal.
Wake up
ABSOLUTELY 💯 %!
@@RandyKrause-zd3ns Oh trust me I'm wide awake. I've spent 30-50 hours a week for the last 5 years researching trump's crimes and ongoing drama. He's a criminal and deserves so much more than he's getting.
Thank you Mike Johnson for speaking truth and for coming along side a friend
Huh???
Yes we are loosing our faith!!!! It's so ridiculous that this is going on!!!! How can this happen????
So irresponsible... to imagine a lawmaker criticizing the justice system, that leaves a whole lot to be desired... last week when the same Democrats voted to save your job, you were quiet. Politics ahhhhhh! such evil...
We can almost see the strings pulling out from his back . ( Strings controlled by the master of puppets )
No mention of trump appointed judge in the Florida case Mike
Or the SCOTUS who's in the bag for Trump!!
It’s not a travesty
It’s justice
The real travesty is that he isn’t in jail for inciting an insurrection
Wow, Finally someone from the government spoke the truth. I am amazed by this.
Please help president Trump! Why can’t something be done to end this madness?!
He is not president he is a defendant
Traitor Trump in prison, and NAGAT traitors ejected from our Senate and Congress will go far to end the madness.
We the people wake up. get back America strong again! No border No nation!
Didn't the hoouse of Representatives have a slush fund to pay NDAs. I believe it was about 7 years ago.
The groveling before Trump continues.
TRUMP 2024 - America will be great again.
He didn't the first time he was elected just made it worse.
@thysm100 Stay gullible! It works for Putin too!
Sure would be nice to see some ACCOUNTABILITY for all these people.
As Speaker, why isn't he doing his job. Why is he stumping for a criminal?
great speech!
Let the jury decide Trump is not guilty, then there is no question or arguing if he is innocent or not.
Guilty of what😮
I’m glad you are speaking to us on this matter.
Thank you for sharing to the public!!!!!
Why are they in New York, you should be in Washington D.C doing your job for the American People and let the jury do their job.
Hmmm .. like railroading someone ? .. know what that is ?
Speaker Johnson is a stand-up guy and intelligent leader. A stronger Speaker!
Everyone's got to get behind this and put a stop to it
Mike, I really wish you would have showed up earlier but thank you for being there❤
