can see. So yes, Trump can go to prison today. In fact, it's gone so far that the Secret Service has met with officials in New York
0:45
to talk about contingency plans, what they would have to do if Trump is sent to prison
0:50
by Judge Juan Marchand. Now, it looks to me like Judge Marchand wants a conviction any way he can get it
0:57
His jury instructions kinda show that, where he tells them, hey look, you don't have to
1:01
find him guilty on the same crime. Four of you can find him guilty on one, four on another, and four on another, and I'll
1:07
treat that as a unanimous verdict. Well, nowhere in the world, well at least in America, is that done
1:12
They're literally inventing stuff for this trial to get Trump convicted. But the fact is, there's two options here, and both are bad for Trump if he's convicted
1:21
One is jail. I don't think that's gonna happen, but the contingency plans have been made by the Secret
1:27
Service, no doubt about it. They are looking at that as a real possibility, and this judge is not a normal judge, so it
1:33
is possible. But the other thing he can do, and this will make him a hero to Democrats, he could sentence
1:39
Trump to home confinement. Home prison, basically. And that would take him off the campaign trail
1:46
Trump could no longer campaign for president. He'd have to do it from his house. More like Joe Biden did in 2020, right
1:52
Except they would be really handcuffing him, and they think that would be a victory
1:57
But I think, oh, I think that would be the greatest thing to happen to Donald Trump
2:00
I think you would see a turnout at the polls like you've never seen before
2:04
He would win states that you would not believe he could ever win
2:08
I think it would be absolutely a victory for him if he's given home confinement
2:15
If he spins it the right way and he tells the people, hey look, they are handcuffing me here, which is true
2:20
They are trying to handicap me here, which is true. I think you'll see a surge at the polls for him like you never thought could happen
2:27
I want you to watch this report on it, however, because it's important to know all the facts
2:32
Once you watch this report, it's very quick. I want you to then give me your comments in the comments section, and again, hit that
2:38
join button. Help us grow. We really appreciate it, guys. Take a look
2:42
So there's an article in the Washington Post, and it's questioning if Trump is convicted
2:47
and what happens to him. That is the key. This is the biggest question. Yeah, it says it's punishable by 16 months to four years
2:53
So the question is, would he go to prison? The legal experts say probably not
2:57
That's unlikely. If he did, Secret Service has to protect him for the rest of his life because he was a
3:02
sitting president. And the question is, would they allow him, if it's home confinement, could he continue
3:08
to campaign? How can he? If you're in home confinement? I just think the whole idea that we're having this conversation when it comes to the former
3:16
president for, even if you say he is guilty, let's say you're that one in a million person
3:21
that says that the prosecution came up with a crime here. Even though there's no evidence
3:25
Even though there's no evidence. But let's roll with it for a second. You got people that are carjacking people in this city, pushing people in the subway
3:36
and they're back on the street. So how can you justify putting the former president in prison for 40 years when you
3:43
have a city that is in utter chaos? I mean, that was the most interesting thing that the actor said yesterday, is that Donald
3:50
Trump is going to break this city. Excuse me? The city is already broken
3:54
Illegal immigrants flipping off the cameras when they get back out on the street after
3:57
beating up cops. Well, let's just look at this scenario. So number one, it's going to be the judge sentencing
4:02
And I understand the judge could turn around immediately as soon as the jury turns out
4:06
And you could have 34 counts, right? He could say, we find he's guilty on X amount of counts too
4:12
He doesn't say, okay, 30 of 34. It could say two of 34
4:16
And then the judge has got to take that in and he's got to decide on sentencing. But it's not going to be in 30 days
4:21
He's going to, he could decide right there if he wanted. And then what's he looking at
4:24
Well, they say it's a class E felony, punishable by 60 months to four years in prison
4:28
Okay, fine. But he's 77 years old without any priors. Why would he possibly be looking
4:33
For each count. Right. That's a good point. It's up to 20 years
4:37
So, so how could he possibly be looking at prison if precedent means anything here, especially
4:42
when you're still trying to figure out the unprecedented charges against a former prisoner
4:47
So ultimately he's going to decide if he's found guilty, probation or up to four years
4:54
