milk hello folks welcome to a special edition of him. little early work prosecutors that lead witness michael cohen light on the stand. and there it underlying felony crime. even charge in the case. we are break down what was going couldhappen next. but first lydia is a life outside the courthouse. with the very latest i love your notes you've be you been sendine fox crew. so latest? >> the latest is that the prosecution has been present in the closing arguments about two hours too. we still expect orders to go about in that middle what they are presenting as their final take on the case they have built against the former president. joshua is the state prosecutor who is presenting oral arguments to the jury. his wicked i will leave you an example wide both budget seems to be getting to the figures are there make a final pitch of the jurors. what of the issues that has some michael cohen guilt thousand 18 he who attacks occur and also talso thefederal election viola. arguments the judge is allowing prosecution to open guilty. the only really thought donald trump should have to charge it would have had to reckon with as well. that's it really prejudicial it's basically saying: waswasn guilty of the federal election violation in trump as they are in essence. during the trial when there was testimony being presented by wouldould the judge sustain defense objections around the issue because it's a present enter presidential and you would instruct the jury and the information is there toim consider michael cohen'son credibility and not to consider whether trump is guilty of thes 34 charges in the particularin indictment. very interesting to see judge mershon allowing the prosecutor's to weigh into themi territory probably untrue drawing conclusions from michaeo cohen's 2018 not donalnad trump. like i said several hours to go, yet still from the prosecutor,es thene defense presented the closing arguments, we heard from todd blanche he spoke for under three hours and the most powerful moment came from todd blanche early on in his closing remarks were he explained to the jurors this case is quite simple. it boils down to whetheroi documents were falsified and he reminded the jurors and walked them to the documents and pointed to michael cohen's own testimony to provide a plausible explanation as to why the documents were labeled as legal services as michael cohen was an attorney and holding himself out as personal counsel for donald trump in the public eye and for the public to clients in the news media. it would make perfect sense why the invoices would say payment for services rendered, plenty ot room to find reasonable doubt, he had a powerful moment at the end which is a good reminder to us all from todd blanche, he told the jurors this is not about politics, this does not matter what your personal opinion of the former president was or is. it does not matter whether you plan to vote for donald trump or president biden in the upcoming election. what matters is as it evidence t hiin this case in closingts arguments are done in the jury e case tomorrowhe for deliberation, real test onat whether they heed the advice. maprejudice is supposed to be kt out of our courtroom it's that simple. thank you very much foe r yourre reporting. for more on this let'satp. brinn cary or vaughn legal editor and d.o.j. counselor and another iur and year inside of thess courtroom. you, and mccarthy,me et cetera, what about the do you believeev it's been kept out oef the courtroom or has it been allowed in? >> it is bee in allowed in just the fact the stormy daniels was allowed to testified unimpeded about what donald trump had ind hiors hotel bathroom or the toui will repeat because it was so crass, the things that she did as a star, we listen to that for hours with none of that has anything to do with as lydias reported the alleged crime which is falsifyinifyig business recoi david: does thvee jury know what is legal and what directly deals with what donald trump has been charged with or have they notth been told by the judge. >> the judge along the way has stricken some things from the record including things from stormy daniels, overall your question gets to the heart ot f th ie casing many ways that the prosecution has been determined for weeks now to complete 30 with the illegal in the minds of the jury and that's not thera case, iran into this a lotl whn i was at the d.o.j., people that were frustrated with bill barr for not prosecuting certain, shall be safe and favorites, i have to defend our decision inrh the court of public opinion and i would say just because n something doesn'ott feel right r it's dirty or sleazy does not make it illegal. it may feel like it is but we deal with evidence and things that need to be established in here the prosecution of the a responsibility approving there crimes yonder reasonable doubt that is their burden to bear and what it felt like for weeks is that they're searching through the new york state code to lookt for something that they can fit to donald trump's behavior which is an abuse ofbe the office ande veeven bond that the fact that e number three justice official is alvin bragg's right hand. anyone knows better it would bed somebody from the department f h justice and that'sat disgracefu. david: i bid on juries and a lot of people have been on juries have had to adjudicate in cases where you're dealing with bad characters. i would always rely oni wo the e to tell me you might not like this guy you might not like what he represents you might not liko his attitude you might not like the evidence e against him but that cannot prejudice you against the final charge has to be found without a shadow of a doubt guilty of what is beenhi charged with. in this case were not really sure what elevated the one expired misdemeanor under 34 felony charges in that particular charge has not been mentioned, i would've play a soundbite from andy mccarthy from matt.that he made earlier on our show. listen. >> the most extraordinary thing i've ever seen in watching or trying criminal cases for decades is were on the precipice of having summations here and we still don't have defended the of what the crime is we had a fivea week trial, five weeks of testimony after openin g statements and were on the verge of summations and it's not clear what they say he did. it's like they're making up a crime as they go along. david: if crimes can be made up in this country and courts around the country, crimes within the trial focuses onse prejudice rathers than evidencn what's happening to trump cantr happen to anybody. >> totally and taking a step back for a minute, if the government whether the state government or the federal government is going to bring a case against the former president of the united states and possibly the future president of the united states, that better be a slamdunk, airtight, the witness is credible and everyone knows why they're there, the accused knows what they're being accused of which is constitutional right to everyone is entitled to and this is been the exact opposite. it's coming down to the words of somebody who is obsessed with trump he once was obsessed andtt in love with him and now he has an obsessive hatred towards him, he is a known liar he misled us on the stand several weeks agoem where he casually talked abouten the reimbursement plan with allen weisselberg the cfo at the time and you had the feeling you from michael cohen that he wanted his money back and he wanted his w christmas bonus and we then learned on cross-examination the following week that he patted his own pockets as he was doing it, he was stealing. this is who th ee state of new york wants everyone to rely on depend on and in order toen imprison the former president o the united states that is remarkable if you think about it. david: what the jury relies on and what i relied on as a jury the judge himself, my question, obviously michael cohen is a terrible witness it and approve liar and he admitted to stealing a cross-examination last week but we rely on the judge that were supposed to and in this courtroom you can, the other reason why i think they have not mentioned clearly what the charge elevates the expired misdemeanor and 34 felonies, they have no right to adjudicate election interference has to be the fac or the federal court that's why they're not mentioning it. >> yep. it's not the wri jurisdiction io department of justice declined toto bring it, how in the worldr are we sitting near and the state court, it is mind boggling it really is, as far as the question of the judge's concernh the most troubling aspect with respect to the judge throughout the trial is the fact that he imposed a gag order against donald trump and yet michael cohen and stormy daniels and the other characters were allowed to continue to say whatever theyma wanted to say and make money off of it. fundamentally that if its not fr and he could've done himself a lot of favors by not imposing the gag order against donald trump as you know better thanos anyone what is the purpose of a gag order to prevent harm to a case that cannot be undone, does anyone on this planet not know what donald trump thinks about aludinl of this including the js before they took their seats, of course. these are the kinds ofs things? that put? some people's minds about the credibility of the judge. david: very quickly we have to go, has the judge told the jurys that nda's are not a illegal huh money is not illegal? >> we heard that, during testimony from the prosecution and the defense as far a s theut judge has found that out y i dot recall him doing so but i don't think the jury at this point could walk away thinking it wasg anything but legal that has been made including by the prosecution of witnesses. david: if they come to that conclusion the donald trump ist, innocent in the eyes of the j jury. >> one would think so but the prosecution conflict pros of theory,ba even though that was legalse'v although they would like thee jury not to think it is based on how they approach this case,th even though it iers legal there was an attempt to cover it up and that is a violation of newo york state election law because they were unlawfully conspiring to promote a candidate for office even though the nda'sca ndevenrslegal and secondly thera lot of things that politicians can promise and leave oueavet ad it's not a crime later on and if they become elected.s david: what kindto of precedent does this set if donald trump is found guilty for other politicians who come out with promises that are not met later on, we gotta leave it at that. wonderful analysis,

>> as to why but this is the latest example projection of weakness by this president they have coddled iran all along the way that they're treating our friend israel with holding weapons that could help them put an end to the war and iran via hamas, the fact that we have it sunk in any iranian ships in the red sea with their shooting at our sailors, it is mindnumbingdi to me, thecu whole iran nuclear deal is ridiculous. it's not just the iranian that is a lot of areas were leadership calling on the united states to lift its restriction on the weapons by ukraine it's given these weapons but they're not allowed to fire them at the source of the weapons that are coming back at them. it is an absolute projection of weakness in that theab philosopy that most americans frankly arl growing number of people aroundd the world. david: is why donald trump is sitting on common sense as the issue of the campaign in all areas whether dealing with theep border, foreign policy, economics, great to see you, thank you for being here. ijoe biden claims he has nothia to do with these law for case against donald trump and noth interfering in hunter biden's criminal cases but there's evidence to suggest otherwise. all the details on that with house oversight chair jamest house oversight chair jamest comer coming up next ocon "kudlow". ♪ llence, comfort, and electricity... are forever in bloom. welcome to beyond. the mercedes-maybach eqs suv. happy kids heal faster. that's why starlight children's foundation is dedicated to improving the mental well-being of sick kids, regardless of their illness or i
