Martha thank you very much john and sandra pack a Beautiful Day here in lower manhattan. Good afternoon everyone in martha maccallum. Today the story is live outside the Manhattan Courthouse where former President Trump is standing trial in the Stormy Daniels case. I was inside throughout this mornings proceedings and i will tell you a bit about what we heard in their. Part of the business from this morning was the judge hearing the latest on the remaining gag order violations he is considering and later we heard some pretty hellacious backandforth questioning peer heated moments were interesting, it became an interested interesting witness in Keith Davidson. He brokered the deals for Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougall but he really got his feet help to the fire by both sides. So, also today on the other big story weve followed all week for you, today we heard from the former and current president. They addressed the chaos unfolding in the Early Morning hours at ucla and across the country. Watch this. [ chanting ] so we have the ongoing situation at Portland State university where we are learning 12 people have been arrested. This is what President Trump had to say about this earlier this morning when we saw him near the courthouse. Watch this. These are radical left lunatics. Theyve got to be stop now because it will go on and on and it will get worse. Then a couple hours later we finally heard from current President Biden who is not spoken about any of this since he was really pinned down to a question april 22nd. Watch. There is no place for hate. Martha speech or violence of any kind whether its antisemitism, allots islamiphobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or palestinian americans. Martha Breaking News this hour but first to nate foy right next to me here outside the courthouse where there u. S. President joe biden is a small group of loud protesters, a tiny group but they are making some noise out there nate. Reporter they are making some noise martha as we are now and a five minute break. The crossexamination of the labased lawyer Keith Debited davidson is over. After this break prosecutors will have another opportunity to ask him questions but before this break trumps Team Presented recorded phone calls between davidson and Michael Cohen where they discussed the possibility of Stormy Daniels having Settlers Remorse and in another Call Davidson said if they dont make a deal and trump loses the election, they would lose leverage. Davidson also answered questions about a post about Stormy Daniels and President Trump from 2011. He had the post taken down five years later he negotiated a 130,000dollar payment from Michael Cohen to suppress the same story. Davidson did not connect any of the deals directly to trump he said cohen told him f it i will do it myself. He also signed a confidential confidentially confidentiality agreement. He appeared suicidal after not getting a position in Trumps White House after the election. Lawyers asked them for the definition of extortion and question him about deals he made with celebrities like lindsay lohan, hulk hogan and charlie sheen. Trump is also responding this afternoon to reports he appeared tired while listening to todays testimony, posting on true social contrary to the Fake News Media i dont fall asleep during cricket das witchhunt, especially not today. I simply closed my beautiful blue eyes sometimes liston listened intensely and take it all in. And update martha about the gag order as the Afternoon Session began, Trump AttorneySusan Necklace presented several articles he wants to post on true social but is unsure if it would be a gag order violation. The judge didnt give an immediate decision but said if there is any doubt, trump should steer clear. Will send it back to you. Martha thank you nate very much. Nate foy here at the courthouse and lets go to Kayla Mcelhinney Cohost of what matters. And beta heavy with a scaly. Nate laid out very well the issues we heard about this morning, there are four pending gag order violations and President Trump has been very clear how he feels about those they say it is unfair for him to stay quiet while everyone else is coming at him. But want to ask about this other issue kaylee. It was an interesting moment in court when Keith Davidson talked about an exchange he had with Michael Cohen. In december before the president took office khaki learned he was not going to be as he thought he might be either Chief Of Staff are potentially Attorney General and he called Keith Davidson who is out Christmas Shopping at a Big Box Store and, you know, kept him on the phone for hours just ranting about this. And he said can you believe im not going to washington after everything ive done for him i cant believe im not going to washington, i saved his you know what. Kaylee i just wanted youre thoughts on this because does this go to motive in terms of Michael Cohen and how he handled all of this . And his own wanting 2. 2 figure elsewhere because we heard a lot today about this not touching trumps hands and thats what davidson testified today it. It is one of the most biggest and interesting takeaways from Keith Davidson in addition to the defence laying out a pattern of extortion if he will he calls them settlements. But learning about this exchange with Michael Cohen is big. We know he has a history of lying and this is the witness on which the prosecution hangs the entire case and now we learn about Michael Cohen perhaps a motive and not being taken to washington than coming out with all of this salacious information. When you add that this is not information the jury heard but just for viewers to hear, the earlier conversation about the gag order where it said Michael Cohen is out there making money on ticktock floating a tv show these are the allegations of the defence. It paints the picture of a witness that is questionable to say the least and this is the witness on which the entire case rests. Yeah, and they really work to try davidson tied him to davidson and take both off the table together. Well see if they did that satisfactorily. I want youre thoughts of this campus chaos we are seeing as well in terms of what the impact is on the 2024 election. I thought it was interesting because Joe Scarborough this morning on his show in the morning basically said it took him back to the Law Order Campaign of Richard Nixon in 1968 and he said this is what turned his family who were Southern Democrats to become republicans which swept that whole region during that period. Here is what he said. The riots on College Campuses and at the Chicago Convention and 68, all of those things moved my family from being democrats their entire life to being republicans. If you are offended by this please im trying to help you. I dont want almost trump to get elected. What is youre take on that kaylee. Its a rare thoughtful point from Joe Scarborough khaki is right i dont often say that but he is right. At alonso the piece that came out yesterday where all these democrats were saying its a big political moment. One democrat was asked does it give you political heartburn to which he said how could it not . I believe those tailwinds, these political tailwinds are what drove the president to speak out today. I dont want to overstate this at the goods a huge moment back i personally hear suburban moms talking but it, maybe not people talking about politics, its about to be summer and this could go away but i dont think goes away. The images youre seeing now on your screen are going to replay at the Democratic National convention so this will continue and difficult into the fall and we see this again it absolutely could be a wedge issue on which the election turns. Martha and there is a lot of discussion about professionals involved in this and we remember when you look back to 1968, those College Groups involved and groups that were underground and carried out acts across the country well sea where this is going, inc. You kaylee. Could deceive redmac thank you martha you to spew on President Bidens longawaited response to the anti israel people on College Campuses it came today after a very long silence and we heard about it really from both sides.

He finally did so today watch. U. S. President joe biden destroying property is not peaceful protest its against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows and shutting down campuses and forcing cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is a peaceful protest. Threatening people and intimidating people is not peaceful protest, its against the law. Martha and watch two groups of protesters facing off against each other yesterday at the university of alabama. At one point, both sides pro palestinian supporters started chanting this [ bleep ] [ chanting ] [ bleep ] [ chanting ] [ bleep ] [ chanting ] so, lets bring in mark teasing. Martha former president george w. Bush adviser and former Senior Fellow on Washington Post columnist. And Leslie Marshall democratic strategist and both fox news contributors great to have you. They queue for joining us. Leslie i want to get youre thoughts, you know, were talking about protest, i should point out these folks are in a cordoned off area where they can protest. Its probably 20 feet from where we are and im in this in this group you have israeli groups lying, you have trump 2024 science then you have this gentleman with a megaphone who seems to be speaking most loudly and another sign says convicted trump already. So youve really got all signs all sides represented. But i couldnt believe the video when i saw both sides yelling Expletive Biden at each other. What is youre take away leslie . There are a few takeaways, i dont like what they are chanting just shows two sides that are different can come together and agree on something. And also what i find a couple thanks fact i live in Southern California and choked by ucla yesterday i wanted to see what by own eyes and sea for myself, i saw her a antisemitism and anti muslim message is just disgusting here at the ucla campus in california where i live in the United States that we have such hatred toward people in both these religious groups with what i saw from my own eyes. Secondly i would say be careful what you wish for. The people that are chanting blank joe biden, especially those who want a ceasefire, especially those who want a solution and who want to stop giving israel everything what they want and all the weapons, thats not going to happen with donald trump. You dont vote for joe biden that well be President Donald Trump. If they want to blank joe biden what they think theyre going to get if they do . Reporter lets pull out this disturbing image from George Washington universitys campus. George washington was president of the United States you can see whats been done to them on the campus in this photo widely circulated. That were about of calls for the president speak to this and he made his first comments today after weeks of the white house be impressed and giving their own answers from the podium but he finally spoke today, what did you think about what he said . First he promised to put his whole soul into uniting the country, you didnt choke congratulations. Thats number 1. Number 2, that picture of that statue just proves these people dont just hate jews, they dont just hate israel, they hate america. They are antiamerican protests as well as antisemitic protests. I know leslie saw said she saw anti islam anti islamic size a few here and there, the problem on our campuses right now is not islamiphobia it is the biggest outbreak of antisemitism weve seen in this countrys modern history. For joe biden to go out and claim and do the two sides thing he condemned donald trump for an essay, you know, there are bad people on both sides of this protest is ridiculous. These people are hateful, they are hard asking jewish students, they are shutting down campuses and preventing people from graduating and preventing jewish students from accessing education they paid for. They are yelling at them go back to poland. Can you imagine if their people sank back to africa to black students . On these campuses. The problem on these campuses leslie is not at this islamiphobia it is an antisemitism problem. Everything else went into one or two sides is just a distraction. Martha a couple of thanks. A couple of things, that is not the majority sorry. Its the majority of the protest certainly thats not the majority of the protesters on any of these campuses. And by the way there are numerous jews that are also pro palestinian or supporting pro palestinian movement, you know, they want to ceasefire in gaza i think its extremely disingenuous to say every single jewish person who is pro palestinian is antisemitic. We certainly see divisions within israel and within jewish people here in terms of what they support. At thank most sane people can say we need to have peaceful situations in terms of these protests but, you know, one of the things i think that will get a lot of attention here is the question of law and order. We keep thinking back to 1968 when nixon won on a law and order platform really when there was so much to mould and protesting going on in the country. Heres President TrumpShaking Hands with Law Enforcement yesterday. Take a look at this. Alright so you see the former president Shaking Hands and talking to people, clearly he sees this not only is something he has always done, i dont think its disingenuous but its an Important Message for his Campaign Given whats going on. I mean think about this, if you look at the 2020 election, the vast majority of americans said before the election they were better off now than four years ago under trump than they were before he took office. A lot of people didnt vote for him because they were tired of the chaos. Heres the question, argue, is the cows work worse or better than it was four years ago . There is chaos on the campuses and on our borders and in the middle east, there is chaos in europe. Biden has unleashed worse chaos then anything trump had ever done. Trump will well be actually running for the candidate to return back to normalcy which is quite ironic. If you think about it so the chaos is hurting joe biden without a doubt and its everywhere. What a crazy world we live and
