What is happening at the Manhattan courtroom as Trump faces sentencing?
You know what? I love that music. I really do. At first I was like, I don't know about the music. I like it. The young folks on my team call it my boomer music. But I like it. It's kind of catchy, right? Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics. We're a little bit early today. And you know, we are of a casual nature because it's at 10 a.m. Well, it's earlier than 10 a.m. now. What is it? It's 921 Eastern, 821 Central Time where I am here in Louisiana. But we are going on early because if you see on the screen, the one that picture that's right there, that is the Manhattan courtroom. where Donald Trump will be sentenced today. Donald Trump will be sentenced. You see the folks there. Here's the catch. We may or may not see him.
because he can do it virtually, but we will see all the players. We're going to see Todd Blanche's attorney. We'll see the attorneys for the state, everybody involved, and possibly, possibly Donald Trump, but he can do it virtually. And so the reason we're doing this is because this is a, obviously it's momentous, it's historic. We will officially have a felon as president. He will be sentenced. This means he's sentenced for felonies, 34 counts that he was found guilty of. OK, so that's what we are standing by waiting for. Also getting you updates right here. Check this out. You see the other things on the screen. This is what the folks in California are dealing with. And it is not getting much better.
Not getting much better. We're also going to give you some facts because there's a lot of things that are going around out there about who's responsible. What about the water? What about the you know, the Gavin Newsom didn't do this. And Mayor Karen Bass didn't do that. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So there's a lot of fact-checking that needs to be done. This is a Democrat's fault. It's a Democrat's fault. It's the woke DEI. It's woke, woke, woke. Everything is woke, like Jesus. It's DEI. What happened to CRT? Like, will DEI ever go the way of CRT? Like CRT went the way of, what was before CRT? There was something else that was before CRT. And then it was the new Black Panthers. Oh, Antifa. Remember, Antifa is responsible for this.
Oh, and then it was, yeah, Antifa, the Black Lives Matter people, the Antifa. Like, it's always something that people fall for it. Like, the Republicans have typically fallen for it, but then MAGA has fallen for it, the Antifa. Like, what is Antifa? It's not even like a whole thing. It's like, you know, a couple of people like anarchists. that are sort of these disparate groups of people or people it's, I don't even know if you can call it a group, but you know, they come up with and people fall for it. Like they fall for CRT and then no one's really teaching it. The facts will show that. And then,
Hi, all.
This is Nikki here having some internet issues with Tom, but we're going to get him back in just a minute.
And we are back. Sorry, I had a little connectivity issue here. As you know, I'm remote. What was I talking about? Are you there, Nikki or Andy? I can't even remember what I was trying to get on. We were talking about, oh, fact-checking, correct? Am I back up? Can you guys hear me?
Yes, you are back up. We can hear you.
Sorry about the little technical difficulties. We interrupt this for technical difficulties. So... Anyways, we have a lot of fact checking to do. So Donald Trump will be our first felon president. Remember, Nixon resigned before the charges or was found guilty of anything, really just sort of resigned in advance. We believe in facts here, even though Meta does not believe in fact checking. And so here we go. So we're going to talk to you. We'll give you some fact checks on the fire. We'll give you some fact checks on what is happening with Donald Trump. And this should be starting at any moment. It starts in about three minutes. So as we're waiting on this to start, should we talk about what happened yesterday in Washington?
Georgia. So yesterday in Atlanta, yesterday, excuse me, not Georgia, in Washington, D.C. So yesterday in Washington, D.C., this is what folks were talking about as we get ready here and we watch the courtroom and we can put it up, I guess, in a box.
