Because Michael Avenatti was reacting to it live while donald trump was saying it on another network and it was an amazing half hour. I know you are neither an early riser or drinker but part of me imagines you in a bathrobe with a glass of red wine watching that happening. It was built for you. Its amazing.

Hes going to explain what happened to us in the courtroom today and, of course, how the president S Performance on fox friends affected his case on Stormy Daniels. I read the reports of Michael Avenatti in court today, hes very articulate as he was in your tv show. But i was as stunned as i think he was how the president blew up his own case. It was like a manic moment of selfdestruction. Youre in on my secret, rachel, that my workday does not begin at 8 00 a.

I can tell you we ex
Many broadcasts tonight began by telling you the name of a murdererer who killed 11 people in the synagogue behind me. They may show you his pictures and repeat his name so much that it will become as well known as other mass murderers whose names you probably remember. We hope history does not remember this killers name and we wont be saying it or showing you his photo in the hour ahead.
