INDICTMENT, THAT MEANS ANDREW WISEMAN WILL BE THE FIRST VOICE YOU HEAR ON THIS PROGRAM IN THE NEXT HOUR. >> AS WELL IT SHOULD BE. >>> THE STOCK MARKET CLOSED AT A RECORD HIGH TODAY. YET ANOTHER HIGH, DURING THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY WHICH HAS BEEN FULL OF STOCK MARKET HIGHS. THEY ARE APPARENTLY HAPPY IN THE AFTERGLOW OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION AND HER RISE IN THE POLLS CONSIDERING DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUIN THE ECONOMY WITH THE STUPIDEST TARIFF PROPOSALS IN HISTORY. INSTEAD OF BEING PRESIDENT TRUMP NEXT YEAR, THE STOCK MARKET SEEMS TO BELIEVE HE WILL JUST BE DEFENDANT TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP SPENT THE DAY RANTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT A SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT VOTED ON BY A NEW GRAND JURY IN DC. THE NEW INDICTMENT IN THE CASE OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VERSUS DONALD J TRUMP, DEFENDANT, REPLACES A PREVIOUS INDICTMENT WITH THE SAME TITLE AND THE SAME LIST OF FOUR CRIMES. CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES, OBSTRUCTIVE OFFICIAL PROCEEDING, OBSTRUCTION AND ATTEMPT TO OBSTRUCT AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING AND CONSPIRACY AGAINST RIGHTS. THE SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT IS IN EFFECT. THE EDITED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL INDICTMENT WITH THE EDITED VERSION INCORPORATING THE SUPREME COURT'S NEW INVENTION OF PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY FOR OFFICIAL ACTS BY A PRESIDENT. DONALD TRUMP SPENT THE DAY WORRIED ABOUT JACK SMITH AND OTHER PROSECUTORS ABILITY TO CLOSE IN ON HIM, AFTER HE LOSES THE ELECTION, THE HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT CAMPAIGN RELEASED THIS AD. >> FOR MOST OF MY CHILDHOOD, WE WERE RENTERS. MY MOTHER SAVED FOR WELL OVER A DECADE TO BUY A HOME. I WAS A TEENAGER WHEN THAT DAY CAME. I CAN REMEMBER HOW EXCITED SHE WAS. I KNOW WHAT HOMEOWNERSHIP MEANS. SADLY, IT IS OUT OF REACH FOR FAR TOO MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES. DURING THE FORECLOSURE CRISIS, I TOOK ON BANKS THAT EXPLOITED PEOPLE IN THE MARKET AND TODAY, CORPORATE LANDLORDS BY HUNDREDS OF HOUSES AND APARTMENTS AND THEN TURN THEM AROUND AND RENT THEM AT HIGH PRICES. I WILL FIGHT FOR A LAW THAT CRACKS DOWN. WE WILL END THE HOUSING SHORTAGE BY BUILDING 3 MILLION NEW HOMES AND RENTALS. >> WE SHOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE, NOT LESS AFFORDABLE. >> WE WERE RENTERS TOO IN MY PRESCHOOL YEARS. FOR ALL OF DONALD TRUMP'S CHILDHOOD, HIS FATHER WAS A RACIST LANDLORD THAT REFUSED TO RENT APARTMENTS TO PEOPLE LIKE KAMALA HARRIS AND HER PARENTS. DONALD TRUMP, THE MOST RACIST PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE OF A PARTY WHO DID NOT PERSONALLY OWN SLAVES, GREW UP TO JOIN HIS FATHER'S RACIST BUSINESS. IT LED THEM BOTH TO BE CHARGED BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WITH VIOLATING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF APPLICANTS FOR APARTMENTS BY VICIOUSLY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE. THE NEW INDICTMENT ISSUED BY A GRAND JURY TODAY COVERS FAMILIAR GROUND FOR REGULAR VIEWERS AND FOR READERS OF THE INDISPENSABLE BOOK, THE TRUMP INDICTMENTS. THE NEW INDICTMENT IS 36 PAGES LONG, REPLACING THE PREVIOUS WHICH WAS 45 PAGES, GONE FROM THE NEW INDICTMENT IS THE DRAMATIC SCENE THAT WILL BE IN ALL OF THE MOVIES ABOUT HIS CRIMES. THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED TO ALLOW HIM TO COMMIT CRIMES THAT HE COMMITTED IN THE OVAL OFFICE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE ON THE ENTIRE COMMAND STRUCTURE OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THREATENED TO QUIT. IF YOU WENT THROUGH WITH THE PLAN TO MAKE LIBS WHO ARE OFFICIAL THE NEW ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL TO HELP CARRY OUT CRIMES WITH DONALD TRUMP. THAT SCENE WILL BE IN THE MOVIE BUT NOT IN THE INDICTMENT. THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT ANY CRIME THAT HE CONSPIRES TO COMMIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE WITH APPOINTED MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, ANY OF THOSE CRIMES ARE CRIMES THE SUPREME COURT LEAVES THE FOUNDERS WANTED THE PRESIDENT TO GET AWAY WITH. THE REPUBLICAN SUPREME COURT IS OF COURSE INSANELY WRONG ABOUT THAT. HERE'S WHAT KETANJI BROWN JACKSON SAID TO NORAH O'DONNELL ABOUT THAT TONIGHT. >> YOU WROTE THE COURT DECLARED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, THAT THE MOST POWERFUL OFFICIAL CAN, UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES YET TO BE DETERMINED, BECOME A LAW UNTO HIMSELF. IT SOUNDS LIKE A WARNING. >> THAT WAS MY VIEW OF WHAT THE COURT DETERMINED. >> I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT A SYSTEM THAT APPEARED TO PROVIDE IMMUNITY FOR ONE INDIVIDUAL UNDER ONE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN WE HAVE A JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT HAD ORDINARILY TREATED EVERYONE THE SAME. >> THAT WAS NOT A PRODUCT OF LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP, IT WAS A PRODUCT OF REPUBLICAN CONVENIENCE. EVERY JUSTICE THAT VOTED IN SOME COURT IS REPUBLICAN. ONLY ONE OF THOSE JUSTICES WAS APPOINTED BY A PRESIDENT THAT ENTERED THE PRESIDENCY BY WINNING THE MOST VOTES. GEORGE HW BUSH IS THE LAST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT THAT ENTERED THE PRESIDENCY BY WINNING THE MOST VOTES. THAT WAS 1988. HE GAVE US CLARENCE THOMAS. IF YOU LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY, WHERE THE CANDIDATE WITH THE MOST VOTES WINS, THERE WOULD BE NO OTHER REPUBLICAN JUSTICE CURRENTLY SERVING. CLARENCE THOMAS WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE. THE CURRENT COMPOSITION OF THE SUPREME COURT STANDS, IN MY VIEW, AS A STAIN ON AMERICA'S CLAIM TO THE WORLD. THAT IT IS A DEMOCRACY. AND NO OTHER DEMOCRACY IN THE 21st CENTURY WITH SEVEN OUT OF 50 STATES DECIDE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS THROUGH AN ELECTORAL CONTRIVE ROLES, CREATED IN A SLAVEHOLDING COUNTRY 235 YEARS AGO. CONTRIVANCE THEY TRIED TO MAKE SOUND SERIOUS BY CALLING IT A COLLEGE. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE GAVE US THIS SUPREME COURT, NOT VOTERS. THE SUPREME COURT HAS GIVEN DONALD TRUMP HIS IMMUNITY WHICH IN JACK'S MISINTERPRETATION, STILL ALLOWS DONALD TRUMP TO BE CHARGED WITH ALL OF THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED WHILE PRESIDENT THAT WERE NOT COMMITTED IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS PRESIDENT. THE INDICTMENT STRESSES, DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS, WERE ACTING IN A PRIVATE CAPACITY. IN THE NEW INDICTMENT, ALL OF HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS ARE PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. GIULIANI WAS NUMBER ONE AND THE OTHERS WERE ALL PRIVATE LAWYERS TURNING DONALD TRUMP'S LIFE INTO CRIMES. THE OTHERS ARE JOHN EASTMAN, SYDNEY POWELL, -- AND LIKELY BORIS EPSTEIN. ON PAGE 12 OF THE INDICTMENT, AN UNNAMED SENIOR CAMPAIGN ADVISOR, WHO IS NOT A CO- CONSPIRATOR, IS QUOTED BY JACK SMITH DESCRIBING EVERYTHING DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CO- CONSPIRATORS WERE PUBLICLY SAYING AT THE TIME AS QUOTE
