I am emily. President donald trump struggles to unite his party. The reporting on nikki haleys refusal to endorse them. They say they are voting for someone else. Michael cohen will take the stand and president Donald Trumps criminal trial after a week of fireworks from another key witness, Stormy Daniels. Jen psaki will talk about her former bosss Reelection Campaign in her new book. Grab your coffee and settle in. Welcome to the weekend. We begin this weekend with another wild outburst from President Donald Trump outside of court. He attacked the judge and prosecutors in the case, claiming his criminal trial is corrupt and declaring he would be, quote, very proud to go to jail for our constitution. His efforts he defied everything the constitution actually embodied. He is laying the groundwork to repeat that playbook in 2024. This week, we are talking by challenging the results of the next election. Trump said people should, quote, follow your heart. Joining us now from our Homeland Security adviser, olivia choi. Are you following your heart . I am sorry. As long as your heart is not a lie saying whatever comes to president Donald Trumps mind and heart. Exactly. How is all of this, the trial piece, the drama, him coming out and standing in front of the cameras and pronouncing that much of anything other than more lies, how is this impacting the voters out there right now . My sense is that the trial piece, theyre not paying much attention to it. I do not know there will be a correlation at this point until there is a verdict. How are you seeing all this kind of playing out and sort of setting up the narratives that President Donald Trump for now, i think there is a whole thing where people expect this President Donald Trump message afterwards. He uses his Political Campaign opportunities then because, unlike responsible candidates, he cannot be out on the Campaign Trail because he is too busy dealing with all the crimes he has committed in the courtroom. I think people are im hoping people are getting sick of this. Is this what you want . This president ial candidate that is costly out there, trying to figure out how he spends this and how he covers up with lies . It is one lie after another and with President Donald Trump, everything is red. The judicial system is rigged. The election is ranked. It is one election after another. As an american, as you process that, how much is too much . Everything cannot be raised. Excepted the economy. Except the economy. I mean, everything cannot be rigged. It so striking because he does this in court and then Speaker Johnson is weak. He is i will just play the sound. We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections, but it has not been something easily provable. We do not have the number. No one can relitigate what happened in 2020. We know that there was Ballot Harvesting and mailin ballots. It was the covid election and there were all sorts of irregularity. We know that let me hold my cup. We have been doing mailin ballots for 20 years. What the hell is he talking about . That is what i am saying. If the entire system is set up, how is this a strategy for winning in november . Campaigns are about winning, okay . How is it a strategy for winning . All this talk about mike johnson, he has made a pivot and seen the light. I will to note it was a moment, not a movement. He fell right back in line. They are parroting president Donald TrumpsTalking Points. They are right on the message in there out there, consistently pushing misinformation to the American Voter and undermining the election process already, laying the groundwork for when they lose in november and then they can perpetuate these narratives and say we have been talking about this for months now. We have the immigrants and the noncitizens voting, which is not true. I worked at the department of Homeland Security. Statistically and factually, this is incorrect. It is not true according to the cato institute. The Heritage Foundation says it is extremely rare. It is rare. The numbers do not add up. You cannot even give you the actual facts. When he is up there, talking about it, he said it is hard to prove. It is hard to prove because you are lying. It is factually incorrect. It is also rich coming from someone who is one of the architects of president Donald Trumps efforts to overturn a fair and free election. My question to you is a Homeland Security person, and we are all in agreement that the greatest threat to the homeland is now coming from inside and part of what he is doing is setting up a Permission Structure for this forthcoming election, not only for his voters to question the results, but for them to respond with violence. I wonder if the institution if they are in charge of protecting the homeland, how it is you are supposed to get out ahead of that threat . It is worrisome. Now you have a republican elected official standing with all these other people around him on the same Capitol Steps where we saw an Insurrection Take place on january 6th, which, to me, was just disgusting and appalling to watch that because you know that message led to the violence we saw. It is hard because you have people, leadership, people that people look up to. The voters are watching them and they take them at their word. You are radicalizing them. You are delivering a message every day and youre already planting the seed, saying, okay, Pay Attention to all these things. They are feeding them lies. It is building this anger with divisiveness. It is the radicalization that leads to political violence. One important aspect of that is something the current president , joe biden, acknowledged. I think it is important repeated over and over again because President Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to undermine this election before it even happens. The president noted that trump made on except the outcome of the election. Of course, i promise you, he will not. I think this is a very important point that we are all, in a way, getting punked right now in this moment by President Donald Trump. You know, the big setup as we started the conversation. Everything is rigged. All these bad actors you have Speaker Johnson out here, lying about people who are not citizens voting in elections. All of that they focused this past week with President Donald Trump saying, well, you know youre not supposed to count votes after the election. What do you even mean . What are you trying to get at . They want the election, they want the voting to stop on Election Night. They want everything counted by midnight on Election Night. Republican State Legislators passed a bunch of laws way back in the day that made it so that you cannot start counting early votes until Election Night . You need to talk to people because republican legislators, to that point, have divined designed the system, that you cannot start counting until after the election. All of this goes into the narrative of telling the American People that if President Donald Trump does not win,. , it is all rigged. It is a lie. Everyone cheated. Is a biden on track with this messaging . Should he be saying more of this we might just go right to the gut punch and say, folks, he is lying to you. You are being set up. We need to be blunt and, look, show them the play that they ran in 2020 because he is doing the same thing. In 2020, donald trump in august, i left the white house and i watched him on social media and it says, he said something to the effect of if we lose the election, it is because it was read. That was it was rigged. He started even earlier. He has been doing that for the past four years, right, in addition to all of that. With President Donald Trump, everything is rigged. When he did not win the awards for having a show, he said that was rigged. He has used that throughout his life when something does not go his way. To the American Voter, i think it should be him saying, hey, Pay Attention to what is happening. I also think we need other voices and allies, specifically republicans and leaders who can reach the voters, to repeat that and say, hey, just to be clear, our elections and our democracy matters and these people are undermining this special thing we have in our country, that makes it so special, their ability to vote, and we should not be allowing someone like President Donald Trump to push a dangerous message. Here is the rub. For the man who claims that everything was read, we found out this week he tried to rig Stormy Daniels appearance. He is a cheat. He is nothing if not a cheater. I will make sure you win. Olivia, stick around. Next, a new round republicans say they will not vote in the 2024 election and a key voice is still on the fence. And then our friends and colleague, my friend and colleague, jen psaki, will be here to talk about her new book, say more. You will watch it right here on the weekend. You know, i spend a lot of time thinking about dirt. At three in the morning. Any time of the day. What people dont know is that not all dirt is the same. You need dirt with the right kind of nutrients. Look at this new organic soil from miraclegro. Everybody should have it. It worked great for us. This is as good as gold in any garden. If people only knew that it really is about the dirt. Youre a dirt nerd. Huge dirt nerd. Im proud of it [ryan laughs] inez, let me ask you, youre using head and shoulders, right . Only when i see flakes. Then i switch back to my regular shampoo. You should use it every wash, otherwise the flakes will come back. Tiny troy hes right, you know. Is that tiny troy . The ingredients in head and shoulders keep the microbes that cause flakes at bay. Microbes, really . Theyre always on your scalp. Little rascals. But good news, theres no itchiness, dryness or flakes down here i love tiny troy. And his tiny gorgeous hair. Hes the best. Make every wash count little help please. This is remington. Hes a member of the family, for sure. We always fed them kibble it just seemed like the thing to do. But. He was getting picky we heard about the farmers dog. And it was a complete transformation. His coat was so soft, he had amazing energy. He was a completely different dog. Its a nobrainer that remi should have the most nutritious and Delicious Food possible. Im investing in my dogs health and happiness. President donald trump may have clinched the nomination, but the primaries are still giving him a headache folk nikki haley, yes nikki haley, received more than 20 of the india Indiana Republican vote. This was more than two months ago. According to reporting, she has no contingent of endorsing from, at least for now. She said i am not going to discuss the political future or encourage them to give to other campaigns. They have confirmed this report. Olivia troy is back. Axios says the President Donald Trump campaign i think the Trump Campaign and donald trump, very important language that i highly doubt. Nikki haley has been on president Donald Trumps list for anything. That is not happening. You know how they think. That kind of aggressive opponent on a ticket with him, number one, and number two, someone that he knows, when he needs to do certain things, will do those certain things, and that is not nikki haley. Here is the problem with nikki haley. You do not get to play it both ways. You do not get to run the kind of campaign and say the kind of things you did and move the country towards your corner, only to then come out and go, you know, kind of like President Donald Trump and i will endorse him because he is the probable nominee. She is huddling with her donors. They will not endorse him yet. That yet is doing a lot of work. It is. How do you see this, having been inside that bubble, and how those machinations come about . What do you think is going on with nikki haley and the campaign and the timing because this is what we are talking about, the timing of whatever she will do, which i think will be indoors and trump. I think what she is doing is she is building out her groundwork, her network, and building her own profile politically behindthescenes. I think that she is looking at the future. What does this mean for her . I think she is eyeing another one at the presidency and is trying to figure out, how do i navigate this donald trump phenomenon because it is bigger than just trump. It is trumpism as a whole. She is also like, my future will be zero if i do not follow him and support him. I get a lot of criticism from my republican colleagues, that i am not all in on nikki haley. As much as i would want to support someone like her, i just do not have respect if youll go out there and pretend that you are this person with integrity and then take it all back and come out and say you will fall back into line. Like bill barr. What does that mean for those that are voting and supporting her still right now, even though she is not really a candidate . I worry about the direction she is going to leave those people when she does come out and support President Donald Trump. That is my concern. The way they qualify the bar you have said he has described himself as being greedy, but it is not enough for republicans to say you will not vote for him. You have to go the extra step. Sometimes, i worry the chairman is setting his aspirations too high. I want to give credit where credit was due. You have the former Lieutenant GovernorJeff Junction saying he will vote for biden and he says others should as well. He said, i belonged to the gop my entire life, unlike trump. This november, i am voting for a decent person i disagree with over policy. Does that carve out space for other republicans to do the same . I think it does. I really applaud the Lieutenant Governor. Thank you. Thank you so much because that is the voice that we need for republicans like olivia and myself, who have not stepped forward, to step forward, to give them that Permission Structure, that it is okay. Your house will not catch on fire. Your neighbors will not kick you out. I mean, this is the Permission Structure that you need. We have Policy Disagreements with a Biden Administration and certainly you can start from afghanistan or you can go to any number of issues, however i way that up against the guy who says he wants to be a dictator and guess what . Biden wins every time. That is what we are looking for. He talks about character and that, you know, the office of the presidency should be someone with character. I think that is important. I think what we are seeing is a lack of feedback across the Democratic Republican Party for those that have been co opted due to their own craving for stashes stature. I have a lot of respect for Lieutenant Governor geoff duncan. It is hard for them to take that stand and im glad he is willing to be consistent. His own friend, governor kent, certainly was not. He fell back in line, even though he faced what happened in the 2020 election, which was super disappointing to watch. He knows firsthand the danger of what President Donald Trump is and how he can undermine democracy. I saw Lieutenant GovernorGeoff Duncans predecessor call him every village needs a useful idiot. I would argue and flip the script and say, actually, i would argue and say that the idiot found a useful village with all of these complicit enablers across the Republican Party who refuse to chart a different path for the party. They think President Donald Trump is the idiot and i mean, there are many, many it is the jeff duncan endorsement. I have not heard them talk about opening offices. The things you need to do to win a campaign are not hold rallies on the beach on saturday morning where you say Tens Of Thousands are coming, but we will check the numbers with the fire marshal. I do not believe that is what we will hit. The way you win campaigns is you open offices and you knock doors and you hire staff. You organize and democrats in indiana, they have been organizing. They grew their margins in Marion County in 2020 and indiana democrats have been targeting that prayer. Marion county is where nikki haley did the best. She posted above a 30 point performance in that specific county. To me, if i am a republican st
