i just had an espresso so i m doing it the right way according to the italians. good to be with you, i m katy tur. quote, i would rather eat my own foot out of a bear trap. that s how one libertarian voter described voting for former president trump if they had to. trump pitched himself at the libertarian party s national convention, and was nearly drowned out by the sound of raucous booing and jeers from the crowd. there will be no more liberty for anyone in our country combined with us in a partnership. we re asking that of the libertarians. we must work together, combined with us. you have to combine with us. [ booing ] we cannot give crooked joe biden four more years. we cannot give crooked joe biden four more years. i have never heard him booed like that. at one point during saturday s speech, punches were thrown in the audience. it wasn t just trump s appearance there. delegates didn t want to hear his name, booing at the mention of donald trump and other speeches t
Back. Overnight weve seen the president evolve his thinking to now advocate for the Death Penalty and, regardless, both of these statements are somewhat inappropriate and unprecedented just in terms of what a president traditionally would say, which is to restrain from offering this sort of commentary. It is in keep with the kind of public persona that donald trump has cultivated over many, many years in public life of trying to show himself to be strong and tough and have this steely resolve. But hes not a commentator anymore. Hes the president of the United States. So theres a different standard, and his words carry a different weight. Theres an obliviousness to the fact that he sits atop the federal government. A federal government whose Justice System he described yesterday as a Laughing Stock and a joke. Well, the comment to first it just shows his total lack of rigor in making any
pronouncements. This is someone who revels in his unpreparedness. Its an improvisational act. Theres

Were going to explain all this in a moment. Remember, Michael Cohen paid a 130,000 settlement to the adult film star, stormy daniels, who claims she had an affair with donald trump. The president has denied those allegations. Joining me now, the senior director of the Campaign Legal center. He previously worked in the office of General Counsel for the federal election commission. We had you on yesterday. We were wondering if this disclosure was going to show up in this or this payment was going to show up in this disclosure. It did. What questions do you have now . Well, we were saying that the president s decision of whether to disclose this payment in this report put him in a really tough spot because in he did disclose it, it would raise the question of why he didnt disclose it

Elections is something that actually the fcc should be looking into. Theyre preparing for impeachment and theyre trying to win hearts and minds.

I suppose it could attract some attention, American Bar Association type stuff. Does the base need that much bolstering that these guys have to dog and pony it across xm radio .
