Welcome to the journal editorial report, i am charles payne. The case rested. Without the former president taking the stand. Closing arguments set for tuesday after jurors spend the long Holiday Weekend at home. Here with a look at what to expect when the Court Reconvenes Next week is a former federal prosecutor, also former attorney ford donald trump. Jim, thank you for joining us. Monday morning quarterbacking in real time. The first thing everyone has debated is smart for trump not to take the stand or not. It was for a couple of reasons. Preliminary warnings by the judge as to what the fair scope of examination would be. They were told they would be allowed to crossexamine. I feel awfully collateral. Dont feel like the type of stuff we reflect on directly. Beyond that, the whole strategy in this case, charles, make it about the credibility. It is the only battlefield you can be fighting on. It is all coming down to Michael Cohen. You dignify the governments case. Just focusing on Michael Cohen. Allowing them to focus on credibility issues for the president and . I think it was absolutely the right thing to do. Dont signal the government has made its case and keep the focus on Michael Cohen. Charles speaking of the government making their case in the prosecution, often times when subjects or witnesses were brought into this. Zero to do with the case itself. May be other political ramifications. Headlines in a Washington Post and new york times, things like the metoo movement. In the closing arguments, how will it make the shift from all the things that seem nonsensical to really proving the case. To be quite frank, a lot of the American Public not sure what the alleged crime is. I am still waiting for clarification. Look, just a quick Starting Point on that. It is unheard of to get to a point where only at the time of the charging happens is there clarification as to the governments theory of making felonies out of misdemeanors. Long Criminal Justice for 35 years. Cannot think of a trial that had this much mystery of what the government was trying to do to avoid. Argument from the prosecution, it will focus heavily on saying how this was and Michael Cohen is corroborated. They will act like they did this painstaking job of corroborating Michael Cohen. You can corroborate on undeniable things. There was an nda in Stormy Daniels is involved in. He is the witness for the involvement of President Trump. For his knowledge and participation to commit some other unknown crimes. It really does come down to Michael Cohen. Saying they have corroborated the living heck out of them. The defense on the other hand has a lot of stuff to play with from The Cross Examination and the concept of reasonable doubt which in any other jury pool would probably grow drink grote deeply into this deliberation. Charles to that point, a lot of liberal and progressive commentators have acknowledged this case itself would not have been brought anywhere else. It is there. The jury, apparently, to lawyers they are. Could that sway this one way or the other. Some sort of professionalism they may be able to bring and the Liberation Process . It is pretty scary, i think, particularly from the defense side. This is a complicated mess of a prosecution. When the judge gives instructions there will likely be questions in the jury room. What exactly does this mean . How do we interpret this . Deferring mightily to these two attorneys. That does not bode all that great for the defense. Essentially, respect for them being Attorneys Lead to cohesion which leads to can convictions. The flipside is these are attorneys who i think have experience in civil or Administrative Law which means a concept of reasonable doubt is a much higher standard than they are used to. They could waken heavily and say this sure feels like reasonable doubt. Jim, before i let you go, i know you testified with representative Jim Jordan On Representation of the evolution of this. No matter what the outcome of this is it feels like we enter into a new era. Many would say very dangerous era. Your thoughts there . That is a great point. I do not say this out of some political motivation. I gave the Committee A 10 Page Singlespaced Written Statement laying out evidence. It talked about all of the unique, inventive, hyper aggressive moves that have been made at President Trump success whether it is doj which was a primary focus or georgia or new york. These are bad signs when prosecutors run for office saying you will target somebody and they use welfare the way they do. Again, there may be shortterm celebrations for the proponents of welfare. You are letting the genie out of the bottle. We will see where they are if this type of misconduct is allowed to stand. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Much more on the political fallout as a jury gears to deliberate. While they plan to beat the former president in a courtroom rather than the ballot box backfire . We will ask our panel next. A test or approve a medication. We didnt have to worry about any of those things thanks to the donations. And our family is forever grateful because its completely changed our lives. First psoriasis, then Psoriatic Arthritis. It was really holding me back. Standing up. Even walking was tough. My joints hurt. I was afraid things were going to get worse. I was always hiding and thats just not me. Not being there for my family, that hurt. Woo i had to do something. I started cosentyx®. Im feeling good. Watch me. Cosentyx helps people with Psoriatic Arthritis move, look, and feel better. It targets more than just joint pain and treats the multiple symptoms, like joint swelling and tenderness, back pain, helps clear skin, and helps stop further joint damage. Serious allergic reactions, severe Skin Reactions that look like eczema, and an increased risk of infections, some fatal, have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to, or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen. Its good to be moving on. Watch me. Move, look, and feel better. Ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. Manhattan jury prepares to begin deliberations in the trump trial next week, the democrats plan to beat the former president in the courtroom rather than the ballot box backfire . Along with editorial board. Let me start with you, dan. It certainly has failed so far in opinion polls. Almost everyone agrees that every indictment, every time one of these has popped up, former President Trumps popularity has gone up. No question about it. What were the democrats thinking . Lets just try to look at this case in the simplest terms that alvin break has brought. A case against the former president of the United States in which his former key witnesses are former porn star andy former fixer. Hushing up his alleged relationship with this porn star the whole country has been watching this. They have been covering it roundtheclock. Hard to avoid it. Republicans are stepping back and saying there is something fundamentally unfair about what is going on. Even as you know, charles people that have been sympathetic to this case have had difficulty wrapping their heads around what exactly the point is. What will the charge be . I dont know what alan bragg thought. Man, i think a lot of democrats feel it could have been stronger because it is helping donald trump. I think there is not too much to add to that. Democrats figured that by this point in the election with the new york indictment and the other three that trump now faces that he would be completely out of contention for the general election. What you have seen is trump slightly increasing his leads and some of the swing states, arizona, georgia and also in the midwest. Your average voter who is just now starting to tune into the election does not necessarily understand the deep contraries to what they are bringing. They do not think that trump is deeply guilty of anything he wants to give them a shot at the ballot box as opposed to having the decision made for them. President trump also made, really spoke out about how this has kept him off the Campaign Trail. Whether or not it is effective in terms of a legal point of view, it has kept him from campaigning. He has found some creative ways to make his time useful in new york. Always a side benefit for democrats doing this. They wanted a conviction so joe biden could take i am running against a convicted felon. One of the bonuses was to try to cost a lot of money for donald trump. Obviously, these trials are indeed costing money although he is also raising a lot of money by sending out emails, talking about his unfairness of the court process. That is not necessarily as damaging to him as they thought it might be. Then there is a Campaign Trail point that you made. He has been outdoing these rallies in new jersey, in the bronx, again, not where he naturally wants to be. Not swing states. He is getting a ton of unearned media. People waiting in the hallway for him to give his comments. Some of them covering these Campaign Rallies that he is doing. I am sure he would rather be in other places, but that has not been as effective as they had hoped it would be. Let me check in on what jim trustee was talking about. Our nation is really seeing a massive decline in faith and institutions including the justice system, obviously the white house, obviously congress which i think has the absolute lowest rating. How critical is it that we somehow find a way to stamp the use of welfare to this extent . Are you concerned about this . Absolutely. Lets also remember why we get to welfare. One party loses elections, back when they lost to donald trump in 2016. Even though its pretty clear as you can see from joe bidens polls, the public may not like their views. Getting rid of the opposition for other means in particular law fair. It is not just the loss of faith and institutions, but it is a terrible falling apart of the parties in themselves. They really need to be out there winning on ideas and convincing people, not just using other tools to try to recap the opposition. Where do you see it going from here then . At the moment its going up the wrong direction entirely. Probably will not get better as a result of this election. The cynicism will increase. The democrats have been doing this for years. Including the Supreme Court attacks on justice thomas, trying to undermine the critical credibility of the Supreme Court that is an institution that the entire country looks for for resolution of the most difficult legal issues. Not the political arena. The democrats by polling the Supreme Court justices and the legal system into the political arena as you suggested are just damaging the whole systems credibility. Absolutely. The sudden death of irans president is raising questions about the future of their region in turmoil. Ordering israel to halt Military Operations in rafah. We will have the latest on a busy week in the middle easts de after the break. You bring a lot back to civilian life. Leadership skills. Technical ability. And a drive to serve in new ways.

Wthose who are still accewith us, yes. Grandpa whats this . Your wings. Light em up gentlemen, its a beautiful. Day to fly. Wrapping up a busy week in the middle east as israel reels from the death of its president. This as a Top Un Court Orders israel to Halt Operations in rafah. They will recognize a palestinian state. Here to discuss the Senior Vice President of research and the foundation of defense for democracies. Jonathan, lets start with the death of irans president. Looking at markets, not much of a ripple. Certainly a lot of fingerpointing. I think right now there is an interesting question about the trajectory of iran in the aftermath of the death of this man. I think that we can say with some certainty he has been part of the planning and the direction of this Multi Front War that iran has been waging by proxy throughout the region. Some hope may be early on that we could see iran began to retrench a little bit. The regime may feel a little less stable, a little less worried about outsiders or even those from within the regime trying to erode the power of those that are at the helm. I think that what we saw in the aftermath of the death is that there is actually a meeting of a number of those proxies that came together in iran and they have vowed to redouble their efforts in this war that they are waging against israel. That includes hamas, hezbollah. The meeting was attended by senior officials. The people truly responsible for coordinating these activities. Doomed for more violence, more mayhem and more unrest at the hands of the regime. How important is it that the role is still supremely important here or it feels like no matter who the president is it will still be the direction. Correct. At the end of the day this is a religious autocracy. A theocracy, if you will. There is one man that runs all of it. They are getting up there in age they have not been particularly healthy. Questions about succession there as well. We have seen that president s can get along with the supreme leader. We have seen president s aligned with the supreme leader. The government that surrounds him and all of it is subjugated to that vision, that resolution that iran pursues around the middle east. Let me talk about the International Court of justice now ordering a halt. Does this have any teeth . Obviously israel has been on the back foot with respect to the Public Relations aspect. How does this intensify that . It intensifies it quite a bit you can get a sense that they are nervous. On the one hand you can say that it was a ruling that barred israel or was intending to bar israel from operating in rafah but not the rest of gaza. They feel like they still have a free hand to battle hamas and all these other places around the gaza strip. At the same time, a very clear attempt to restrict israel from finishing off the war that hamas started. This really does appear to be a lifeline and it remarkably, it was drawing on evidence that came from the un relief and works agency. Just earlier, a couple hours before the icj statement come down. That ruling came out. They identified three bodies of hostages that were being held. It has been a partner for years. It is just outrageous when you look at how this case was built out. Look, there is one last thing we need to be aware of. If the israelis decide they want to divide this war, then this will be brought to the un security council. Then it will really be on the shoulders of the Biden Administration to determine whether it is time to enact the veto. Israel can continue to do what it has been doing to engage a surgical war with all the gaza strip with the intent to destroy ultimately if Biden Administration declines to veto. Then we are in uncharted territory. They will find themselves alone having to make a decision and all of these other proxies or it is acceptance in the international community. Im trying to educate myself on the icj. I see one of the covenants that help to may be, at least they claim to make this decision was the genocide convention. I bring that up because we heard that word used on College Campuses here. Ireland, spain and norway saying they will recognize a palestinian state. Israel being backed into a corner alone. Them and their fight to make sure that october 7 never happens again. Look, first of all, just the term genocide is just insane. It is ridiculous on its face. You have seen the growth of the population of palestinians over the last decade. Israel has not been waging a genocide. It is part of a playbook that has been designed by those that up perpetrated they called the boycott divestment. They are attempting to turn israel into the Apartheid Regime of the 1990s. They are trying to destroy it with legalistic approaches. Jonathan, thank you very, very much. Still ahead.
