out for caucuses, teach them how to caucus, take them in your car on caucus night. If you have to do whatever is necessary, we've got to get them in. We've got to make America great again. So do whatever it takes. If you do, we will win and win big, and that's what you have to do. You know the other side does cheat, and we're not going to let that happen. We cannot let that happen, but that's what we need from you. Get in your car, get a lot of people, and get down caucus. Give a great speech for me. I hope you will, and I know you will have such confidence in you as you had in me, and you have in me. That is a video that Donald Trump released, and we call that in the legal field 404(b) evidence under the federal rules of evidence, and that is something that special counsel Jack Smith will undoubtedly use at the time of the federal criminal trial in Washington, D.C. I also think that Fulton County District Attorney Fawnee Willis is going to use that in the Fulton County Rico case against Donald Trump and his various co-defendants in that matter. So what rule 404 of the federal rule of evidence state is that that normally character evidence is inadmissible to show the propensity of somebody to act a certain way. However, there are exceptions in 404(b), and rule 404(b) says if the behavior demonstrates notice goes to a criminal defendant's intent, if it shows a common plan and scheme, if it shows a pattern of engaging in the same criminal conduct, and there in that video that you saw at the outset is something that would be admissible. And what it shows is that throughout Donald Trump's life, no matter what the circumstance is, if he believes he's going to lose or no matter what he claims that there's a fraud, he claims that there is some massive conspiracy to try to rig an election against him, it goes to Donald Trump no matter what denying the results of free and fair elections. And back on December 5th, special counsel Jack Smith gave notice to the federal court in Washington DC that he intends to introduce federal rule of evidence 404(b) material. By the way, just like the video that you just saw, now Donald Trump just released that video. I think he released it before as well or a variation, but he just released that video yesterday. And so this is the type of evidence that Donald Trump keeps generating for special counsel Jack Smith against Donald Trump. Let's take a look at Donald Trump's statements as put forth in special counsel Jack Smith's December 5th brief. So you can see for yourself here it is government's notice pursuant to federal rule of evidence 404(b) and it says the government will provide the defendant in court extensive advance notice on the intrinsic evidence it plans to introduce a trial, including through its exhibits and witness list motions eliminate and a detailed trial brief setting forth the government's plan trial presentation. In the abundance of course caution, the government below notices evidence that although intrinsic to the charge crimes, pre or post dates the charge criminal conspiracies, if the court were to find that any part of the noticed evidence below is extrinsic, the evidence is also admissible under federal rule of evidence 404(b) because the government will offer it not to show defendant's criminal propensity or character, but to establish his motive intent, preparation, knowledge, absence of mistake, and common plan. And then it says over here, Donald Trump's historical evidence of defendant's consistent plans of baselessly claiming election fraud. As set forth in the indictment, the defendant's criminal conspiracies relied on his knowingly false claims of election fraud. At trial, the government will introduce a number of public statements by the defendant in advance of the charge conspiracies claiming that there would be fraud in the 2020 presidential election. These statements sewed mistrust in the results of the presidential election and laid the foundation for defendant's criminal efforts. In addition to this intrinsic evidence of false statements about the 2020 election, the government will offer evidence reflecting the defendant's historical record and making such claims. For example, as early as November 2012, the defendant issued a public tweet making baseless claims that voting machines had switched votes from then candidate Romney to then candidate Obama. During the 2016 presidential campaign, the defendant claimed repeatedly with no basis that there was widespread fraud, including through public statements and tweets. For instance, on October 17, 2016 tweeting, of course, there is large scale fraud happening on or before election day. Why do Republican
