This is a very dangerous scenario that, its a dangerous game that they are playing. And i was at the d. C. Courthouse thursday for trumps appearance, and i was not the only one. We are here at the Trump Indictment talking to everyone here about whats going on here. Sir, excuse me, what are you doing here . Our friends at the good liars join me next hour to share what they heard from the trump faithful. Also this hour, dramatic new video of a drone attack on a russian oil tanker. The latest on the impact it might have on russian troops. And we are following that extreme heat still going on continuing to make millions in this country. Plus, a giveaway. New york city, look at those crowds. Leading to absolute chaos. Dozens injured, many more put in danger, at a famous twitch streamers under arrest. A live report on that is ahead as well. We begin, though, with that Breaking News of the judge in the Election Interference Case ordering trumps team to respond by monday to prosecutors request for a protective order. This, happening after trump seemed to potentially violate the judges warning about making threats just one day after his arraignment. Friday afternoon, he posted a simple message, this. If you go after me, im coming after you. All this as trump continues to campaign with an event today in south carolina. Nbcs Julie Tsirkin following the action from columbia, south carolina, with more on this. Julia, its always great to talk to you. How is the trump Team Responding this afternoon to all of this . As he prepares to speak in just a couple of hours. Yeah, well, he is responding at the trump team is responding much of how you would expect. I was at that event last night. He was speaking before a friendly crowd, the friendliest crowd he could possibly hope for. A day after he sat for that arraignment in d. C. , and they welcomed him with open arms. I spoke to voters yesterday who really had his back. I should note, yasmin, it was hard to find somebody who actually read the charges, read that indictment itself. But they really are standing strong with him and this is some of what he had to say yesterday to a crowd that was energized, that was applauding him, that was cheering, that use these indictments as political and do believe that it will help him climb higher and higher in the polls. Watch what he said. They are trying to make it illegal to question the results of a bad election. It was a very bad election. Everybody knows that. But only a party that cheats in elections would try to make it illegal because if you have nothing to hide, why would you do that . Yasmin, he also said just one more indictment, one more indictment and then he said, the race is over. We can close it out. So, hes really trying to tout this as a positive. Obviously, you were there in front of that courtroom on thursday. Where he was more salient, more dull, was not energized. Obviously, not being met with a friendly audience. Tonight, i should note, hes being introduced by senator Lindsey Graham and he suggested this week that perhaps d. C. Is not the right venue for the former president to be tried, because how could the jury there in a blue city be fair to the former president . Obviously, thats where he committed the alleged crimes. Thats where he would be tried. But it is an interesting point and i do expect that rhetoric to continue tonight, despite this new request by the special counsel of trumps legal team. All right, Julie Tsirkin for, thank, you julie, you give us a lot to talk about in our next segment. We want to continue this conversation on this historic indictment with msnbc legal analyst, former federal prosecutor, glenn kirschner, will also share to carry with me outside that court just a couple of days ago. Glenn, good to see you. Once again. So, a couple of things i want to take through here and kind of clarify things for folks that are watching this. First and foremost, right . What exactly is smiths team, the special counsel asking for here with a protective order . So, yasmin, they are asking for donald trump not to be permitted to disseminate any of the information that the prosecutors are about to turn over. Witness identities, witness statements, grand jury transcripts, because, you know, you can envision donald trump becoming pretty darn upset when he reads about the testimony that witnesses have been giving against him in the grand jury including Many Republican witnesses. So, the prosecutors want to make sure he says nothing, he posts nothing, that would endanger those witnesses and what they added into the mix, in requesting this protective order, is judge, look what he just posted. If you go after me, im coming after you. That would naturally, i think, has a tendency to chill and perhaps intimidate the witnesses who know they are going to be called to testify against donald trump. So, essentially, they are afraid that through discovery, right . The former president will be seen with his attorneys, coming up on document that may has a named witness or something taking a picture or not taking a picture, just posting about what it is that he read going through this discovery with his attorneys. Do i have that right . You do. When he puts the name of a witness out in the public square, we know how some of his supporters might be inclined to respond. So, how do we connect that, of course, that warning that was somewhat not normal, right . The judge, the Magistrate Judge on that day, on thursday, he gave to the former president towards the end of his arraignment, essentially saying, do not intimidate witnesses. This is not a normal warning thats usually given. Yeah, the way i think it gets connected is i suspect judge tanya chutkan, the presiding judge, well probably have a talk with defendant trump, perhaps at the next Court Hearing on august 28th, perhaps in advance of the next Court Hearing. And put him on more specific notice of the dos and donts of pre trial release. I have a feeling she might begin to at least consider narrowly tailored restrictions on his speech and on his posts, because he obviously didnt take to heart the warning that the Magistrate Judge gave him, not 24 hours before he posted that threatening language. So, i think were going to hear more very soon from judge chutkan, as she tries to rein in donald trump. What does a response to this protective order from the defense possibly look like . The deadline for that now monday. I have a feeling the response will be judged, we dont oppose receiving this information, this evidence, this discovery from the prosecutors under the protective order and we pledged not to disseminate it or have our client disseminated. They will probably sidestepped the issue of Donald Trumps recent post altogether, or if they dont, he will just parrot, they will mimic what their client says which is no, this is all about politics. I was referring to my political opponents in the republican race for the presidency, which i dont think is all that convincing. I want you to respond, if you can, just kind of clarify things because a lot of people have been making something of this and i want to kind of get your take on it. John lauro, i believe, was on fox news after the arraignment on thursday evening. He went to head, essentially, and admitted that the former president of the United States asked his then Vice President mike pence to essentially pause the certification of his election for ten days, so they can, you know, as he kind of puts it, clear things up. I think at one point, he said to pause the voting, to allow for states to conduct audits. Trump himself was also confirmed this, in many different ways, on twitter, out loud, as well. Should we make anything of this moment . Has also been making kind of also the media circles, we should say. Hes been, you know, making lots of appearances on various shows. Yeah, i think what lauro is doing is hes catering to his client. How many times have we heard donald trump make admissions in the Harsh Light Of Day . You know, sure, i made a call to georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger telling him to give me 11,780 votes, or else. But it was a perfect call. No, it was perfectly criminal and he is about to learn that the hard way down in georgia. So, what lauro is doing is admitting to the crime, but its a crime that donald trump has already admitted to. And so, i guess by taking that approach, they think they are sort of softening the blow and perhaps raising the question in some peoples mind about, well, if theyre inviting too, it maybe its not criminal. I think they are looking to poison the jury pool quite frankly. And i hope judge shotgun has a Little Something to say, in cutting that back. I wonder if theyre already trying to kind of challenge this idea of intent, right . Because you think back to the moment of the indictment, which a lot of people have been pointing to the president halves with his former Vice President centered to honest, right . And kind of talking about the intent there, in that the former president actually knew that he had lost the election when he was doing all of these things. Are they trying to set up their defense here that they are going to try and prove that the former president was doing all of this because he actually thought that he won . They only have a hope of proving that in the court of public opinion, yasmin. Not in the court of law, in part, because the rules of evidence dont permit the defense to introduce statements of the client unless the client takes the stand, and we dont think donald trump will take the stand,. Got it. All right, glenn kirschner, my friend, thank you. Appreciate it. Much more, everybody, on the third indictment of donald trump ahead. But we are back in just 60 seconds on this exclusive ukraine drone strike of a russian ship in the black sea. What may have been on board that ship and how moscow is now responding.

Peoplefriendly. Bugdeadly. All right, welcome back. Want to get to the war in ukraine. Right now, tensions theyre escalating in the black sea, following two of the deepest attacks in terrestrial territory to date. Starting new video im showing what appears to be ukrainian see drone slamming into an oil tanker during an overnight mission. A source from Ukraine Security servicing, the tanker was, quote, Transporting Fuel for russian troops. Nbc news has not yet verified those claims. Really stunning, i have to say, to watch this video on repeat. It comes just one day after a separate see drone strike on a Russian Naval warship just off a major port in a Military Base on the russian mainland. The last, disabling the ship and forcing it to be towed ashore. We want to bring in nbcs for more on this. I have to say, watching this, ali, and hearing about these attacks now on these kind of Russian Naval ships, it seems as if the Ukrainian Military is becoming a navy is becoming more brazen, to a certain extent, considering the support that they have right now and also the precarious position the russians are in. Talk me through what more we know. I think you hit the nail on the head, theyre definitely becoming bolder and more brazen. And then this latest attack, a russian tanker with 11 crew members got hit overnight by a seat drone. Now, the footage appears to show the moment the drone strikes the tanker. Now, Ukrainian Security services have told nbc news that it was a joint operation with the navy on the vessel that was Transporting Fuel for russian troops. Now, russian officials have the vessels and dreams damaged and nobody was hurt in the attack. But it is the Second Attack in as many days. On friday, a brazen attack with an unmanned c drone under the cover of night. Struck and disabled a russian landing ship in the Black Sea Port of nova rosina. Now, video released by Ukrainian Security shows the c drone stealthily making its way towards the russian ship and then just cuts off the moment before impact. Now, Russias Defense Ministry claimed that it thought of the attack, but they made no mention of the ship. Footage, however, circulating online showed the ship resembling the one that was attacked limping back to port. Now, using Satellite Imagery and marine ship tracking data, nbc news was able to confirm that the video showed the same class of warship as the one hit by the sea drone. Now, ukraines counteroffensive hasnt been that kind of quantum leap that they have hoped for so far, yasmin. But theyre unconventional methods of fighting russia is proving effective. Whether that is targeting a high rise in moscow or a battleship in the black sea. Now, their Russian ForeignMinistry Spokesperson said that there can be no justification for what they call a barbaric actions they said these actions were not go unanswered and their authors and perpetrators will, inevitably, be punished. But this morning, ukraine said it had designated six Russian Black Sea ports as being in it were risk area, indicating that they could be preparing for further attacks on moscow territory. They also warned that preparing to expand the scale and range of Combat Operations in russia, so we can expect a lot more of this from the ukrainians, he has been. Thank, you my friend.
