Episode 736: Cash Seems to Be Hard to Come By for Trump; Will Pence Bend the Knee; Update on Document Case

This week on Ring of Fire!


Donald Trump's lawyers were finally forced to admit in a court
filing on Monday that he does not have the cash available to pay
the $464 million bond for the fraud judgement against him in
order to appeal the verdict. The lawyers are asking for the judge
to simply postpone the posting of the bond until after the
appeal, but that's not how things work. Due to the fact that he
was rejected by at least 30 underwriters, it is apparent that
Trump is a risk for paying at all.


During a recent speech, Donald Trump referred to the imprisoned
Capitol Rioters "hostages," echoing a claim that he's made before
and one that has been made by lawmakers like Marjorie Taylor
Greene for years. Trump also admitted that he'll pardon these
people, and these two statements were the breaking point for
Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence. In an interview on Fox
News, Pence not only trashed Trump for calling these people
"hostages," but said that he will not be endorsing Trump.


During a podcast interview this week, Trump lawyer Alina Habba
said that she is confident that she will get the $464 million
fraud verdict against Donald Trump dismissed upon appeal.
Ironically, this interview was conducted BEFORE Trump's lawyers
had to tell the court that he's not able to pay the bond, which
means that the appeal might not even be able to happen. There's a
good chance that Trump could see his properties be taken away
from him, all while the arrogant Habba swears everything will be
ok.


And Judge Aileen Cannon delivered an absolutely insane ruling on
Monday evening as part of her jury instructions to both federal
prosecutors and Trump's legal team. The ruling says that members
of the jury have to be given access to the highly sensitive
classified documents that were uncovered at Mar-a-Lago - and if
Jack Smith doesn't allow that, then they jury will be instructed
to assume that they were all personal documents that rightfully
belonged to Donald Trump.


All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
