We have to have a better understanding from the israelis about what they want to do. We have had several staff talks with them. We intend to do that more. They have assured us they were not going to rafah until we have had a chance to share our concerns with them. Reporter there have been working level conversations between the israelis and the Biden Administration over the last several weeks about the administrations concerns and thoughts about what israel could do differently in rafah. We are still waiting to hear, alex, exactly whether the u. S. Recommendations are being taken to heart and will be used in rafah to try to mitigate some of the death weve been saying in gaza over the last 67 months. The donald trump trial through the eyes of a former insider, sarah matthews. She gives me her take on her testimony in our next hour. Hou very good day to all of you. Now to donald trump busy week ahead in the Hussman Trial. There is no hearing on monday. Trent will be back in the defendants chair tuesday. No hearing wednesday so trout will campaign in wisconsin and michigan and be back in Court Thursday for his Second Contempt Hearing on alleged gag order violations. The trial continues on friday. Here is a look at potential witnesses we get the this week. We have Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, Karen Mcdougal and hope hicks. Also, unwavering support from a staunch political ally for tron. If he is convicted you will still support him and vote for him . Absolutely. I think what is going on with Donald Trumps weaponization of the law. Hes being prosecuted in manhattan, one of the deepest blue cities in the country. We have reported as an analyst in place covering all these new developments. Jake, where will things pick up when the trial starts again on tuesday . Tuesday is going to kick off the third week of this criminal Hussman Trial for former president donald trump. This is the first time we are going to see this tight rope walk. The first time hes going to have a rally since he started this trial. It is going to be an otter week ink terms of in terms of corn in session. On wednesday he will head to michigan and also wisconsin. These are states trump won in 2016 and then lost about it in 2020. They will be pivotal states for both trump and biden to get electoral victory come this november. We are actually talking court this week a couple things we are looking for. One, we are going to see that witness list grow. We are also going to be keyed into the Gag Order Hearing on thursday to see if the former president has been violating it all along. Trumps downtime this week in florida, i want to move to quickly reporting. The Washington Post original reporting donald trump and ron desantis met this sunday morning. Nbc news is also able to confirm that. The meeting was an attempt to bury the hatchet and talk fundraising. Old Campaign Rivals that are potentially, you know, shaking hands and moving along. We have a look ahead to this wizard to see how the former president attempts to battle talking about the issues that matter, emigration and the economy and how hes going to talk about these court cases for the first time in a Campaign Rally since all this started. That news, did that happen in maralago . That was this morning . Reporter i do not know the exact specifics, i do know it did take place in florida this sunday morning. Again, an attempt to bury the hatchet and to begin talk fundraising. We havent seen these two together in quite some time. A pretty significant moment. There was no mention in the article of them Vice President ial questions or any discussion of that . I dont want to put that out if it wasnt discussed, im just asking. I think to the extent of Vice President circulation that was not something ronna or discussed. What we do know is there has been somewhat publicly contentious relationship between the two. This seems to be the first truce of some kind between them and we are learning more at this moment as well. Lets bring in the former assistant District Attorney in manhattan and now msnbc legal analyst. And the former finical federal prosecutor and host of the podcast its complicated. Really . You dont say. Another potentially wild week ahead with Tropical Court then out on the Campaign Trail then back in court what could possibly go wrong . How do you see this week shaking out . It is a short week because tomorrow court is off. I think the prosecutors are very happy about how last week went. If there is a guilty verdict it can be traced back to david testimony. He provided them what they needed. He said he did what he did to help the president ial campaign. He was the eyes and ears for the campaign and also the jury to the conspiracy by unlawful means. Still have a lot more witnesses to go. So far the witness has been what the prosecutors have needed. Particularly the banker who will be coming back and be cross examined for Michael Cohen. He establishes 130,000 Michael Cohen got from the bank and then it was wired to the lawyer of Stormy Daniels. The former executive existed, anyone knows who is coming to see you here if they know who is calling you and they know what your contacts are. She established Karen Mcdougal and Stormy Daniels were in Donald Trumps contacts. Stormy daniels visited the trump organization. As trump said he doesnt know i never met jean carol, he wont be able to say that. His trusted Executive Assistant has confirmed he has some type of relationship with those two women. It was a good week for the prosecutor. It was also good for the defense. I can say they use the Executive Assistant sort of like a character witness. She was my bias. She was clearly loyal to him. Work for him for years. He treated her well. They didnt really touch her. They just wanted to bring that out for the jury. So far it has been good for the prosecution. It is not over yet. 2 for sure. The potential witness list is intriguing. To the point while the trial resumes tuesday Michael Cohens lawyer will be on the stand. It feels like the first few witnesses went by quickly. Do you expect ross acute to slow things out at all . No. I think some of these meaty witnesses in the middle of the case like Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, of course that will have lengthy testimony. They had essential delightful trial, were central to the story. But there is also potential crossexamination. We know the defense is going to take a long time cross examining Michael Cohen. They are going to go at him very hard. That is why the prosecutors are putting that in the middle of the case. We just had a good discussion about how the first week and the first initial witnesses went for the prosecution. You always want to start on a high note. You want to start on a solid note with witnesses are not going to get heavily attacked. The prosecution did that. Catherine, if you were involved which witness would you bring on next . How much space do prosecutors need between a really strong witness and the next big name . I will not save Michael Cohen for last. I do not want him to be the last site the jersey. He may be a wonderful witness, but he does have lots of baggage. Unlike david pecker, he owned himself. He was authentic with his sleaziness. With the fact he and the National Enquirer line, but he did not show bias or hostility toward donald trump. Michael cohen is hostile toward donald trump. He cannot hide it. That will come out. I will move him up sooner. He has said he is not want to be tweeted until after he testified and i will see you in a month. It leads me to think hes not going to be on so quickly. M. I. C. Hope hicks. You might see other people, the people who are just there to establish documents and move those into evidence. We know donald trump is preparing for a Second Contempt Hearing over the alleged gag order violation. The first one was heated with a stern warning for failure to offer fax in trumps defense. Then you have presented nothing. You are losing all credibility with the court, which is pretty stinking. What do you expect on thursday . I really think this judge is trying to hold this over the head of trump and his attorneys. There is a damning image. I think that is sort of what the judge is doing here. He knows if he rules and imposes a 1000 fine or something that is not extremely harsh, it almost diminishes his power. He knows that ultimately trumps attorneys want to be able to ask questions that they would like. They want to make sure they are getting the evidentiary rulings that they want. They are perhaps going to be able to put some pressure on trump to say look, we need the judge to be happy. He is very unhappy right now. We need you to knock it off. I think that is what the judge is doing, using that as leverage to try to keep trumps attorneys to keep him in line. Here we are week three of trump having to show up and sit quietly in court. The Washington Post quotes a source saying the phrase around here is the process is the punishment. Do you think that is part of the Prosecution Strategy . Well, it is any defendant on trial its a horrible experience. Particularly for former president trump, someone who is a micromanager, according to david pecker and used to being in control. It is a horrible experience because he cannot go anywhere. He keeps calling the court room cold. I practice in that building for 30 years. They are either too hot or too cold and that is for everyone. He is not the only one being punished. Yes, i agree. I do not think that is the Prosecution Strategy. Thats just the way it is. For him it is considered punishment. Big picture, rinaldo, do you think some sense of accountability is there for donald trump, given everything in his legal spear that is going on . I personally think some measure of accountability is here for donald trump. I do not think he wants to be sitting in a cold courtroom. I do not think he is enjoying this experience. I think he feels humiliated. He is being ordered around by a judge referring to him as mr. Trump and telling him what to do. I think there is already some measure of accountability. With that said this may be the only trial that goes forward before the election that is looking increasingly likely. Do i think there is likely a conviction here . Yes, i do. Obviously that is not the only piece of this that i think has an impact on donald trump. Absolutely. Good to see you both. Thank you so much.

On saturday with a 200 University Students arrested for colleges and some campuses have moved to shut down pro palestinian encampments. Clashes have been breaking out. What is the scene like there . Reporter alex, a totally different theme from what we saw yesterday. Tensions here are bubbling. Behind us i want to point you to what is happening. You have two sides facing off, all palestinian demonstrators as well as pro is really demonstrators. There was a scheduled rally organized here with ucla. Before the rally was scheduled to start a group of nearly 200 300 people marched in, demonstrators that is for the propalestinian students. We have seen them class. A lot of pushing and shoving. Nothing too serious. Both sides want their messages hard. We see is rileys life, palestinian flags, and american flags. Over on this site we have a young student holding a fine. If you swing over you can see it says route jew. Proud israeli. This is the soundtrack. People chanting them home, bring them home over on the other side there is a loudspeaker. That speaker was brought in this morning by the proisraeli processors. They set up a stage. This is where they are having their rally. Those speakers eventually silencing the demonstrators who havent camped here since thursday. It was getting loud here. We are going to send it back to you. End the end of the day adrian, unfortunately those people with the megaphone are not getting the message across. If there is any way you can step slightly to the side and away from them, i would love to hear more about the breakdown right now on the ucla campus. I know there is much larger jewish representation support today than what we saw yesterday. Give me a sense of that right now. Reporter you notice how you asked me to step away. Weve been doing that throughout the morning. They follow us. They get right up close to us. We have said if you want your message heard we need to speak with you one at a time. I spoke with a young student who was about 50 years old just a moment ago. I asked to get that what you are doing here today will make a difference . Her message to me was we will see what happens in history, but weve already made a difference. Difference. The tone here has already shifted. Do you guys want to talk . I cannot get your message across what you are yelling at me. In one word what do you want to happen and why are you here . We want the hostages home. Reporter do you think what you are doing will make a difference . We are live on msnbc right now. Do you think this protest will make a difference . Of course, my dear. On october 7 they kidnapped and attacked israel. They kidnapped babies, old people, women. They write them. They killed them. They cut their heads, they cut their bodies. All of them are here supporting hamas and the terrorists. Reporter i hate to cut you off, but that is the sincere. Everyone wants her message heard. Back to you. Adrian, you are doing an excellent job as well as her cameraman. Very trying times. Thank you so much. At lease four people have been killed in another round of devastating tornadoes across the midwest and the plane stays overnight. The deaths all happen in the hardest hit state of oklahoma. Here is the governor just moments ago on the incredible damage he has seen. Definitely the most damage since i have been governor. Ive been around the state for, this is my sixth year, but what i saw downtown is unbelievable. More from sulfur, oklahoma. Reporter if you turn over this way you can see on the other side of this do not cross police tape, piles of rubble. Many of these are businesses. The one just over there in that direction, we have seen crews actively searching and sifting through. We did not learn until just recently they were searching for a person. Unfortunately that person found dead. The governor confirming four fatalities within the last 24 hours. Over the course of two days we have seen an outbreak across the region. Roughly 37 reports across different states. The majority in oklahoma and happening at night, which is unfortunately the most vital type, as we have seen last night not to fear in sulfur, but also holding bill. We know they had a couple of the tallies. A really fast situation. People Walking Around in shock. I have spoken to Business Owners looking at what is left of their business. If we could take a moment to look at the business behind me. I had a chance to speak to the owner. He had tears in his eyes as he was explaining to me this was his lifes work and he was excited to pass it down to his son. He along with so many others reiterating the fact they are just grateful to be alive. So many people sharing their own stories. One man talking about how he had to rescue his neighbors and pull a tree branch off of the storm cellar they were trapped inside of. That is where they whether this tornado. In terms of the intensity, that is something the National WeatherService Teams are actually going to be looking at. The governor says early assessments indicate it couldve been an ef4.
