Just get ready. But doug burgum has been incredible, and the countrys lucky to have him. That was donald trump over the weekend in new jersey, introducing the man who could be his running mate this november. Well have more from the former president s rally, including his praise for a fictional Serial Killer. Meanwhile, trumps former fixer is expected to take the stand today in the criminal hush money case. Well get expert legal analysis ahead of Michael Cohens blockbuster testimony. And also ahead, well have the latest from the middle east, as hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing from Southern Gaza because of israels looming Military Operation in rafah. Good morning, and welcome to Way Too Early on this monday, may 13th. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your day and week with us. And weve got a lot to get to this morning beginning here. In just hours, the donald trump Hush Money Criminal Trial will kick off its fifth week, with arguably the most anticipated witness of the entire trial expected to take the stand, Michael Cohen. The former attorney and fixer for trump is set to testify about his role in negotiating the Hush Money Payment to Adult Film Actress Stormy Daniels on trumps behalf during the 2016 president ial campaign to keep her queets about the alleged sexual encounter with trump. Cohen contends the reimbursements to him were falsified as trumps direction, which is central to the prosecutions case. But the defense will undoubtedly hammer away at cohens credibility. In 2018 cohen pleaded guilty to federal Campaign Finance violations and other charges and was sentenced to three years in prison. But even before taking the stand, cohen was a key point of discussion on friday when judge juan merchan told prosecutors to ask cohen to stop commenting publicly about the former president or the Hush Money Trial. Trumps lawyers argued strenuously that it was not fair for their client to be under a gag order and to not be able to talk about cohen while cohen was free to talk about trump. Additionally, prosecutors said they have two witnesses left to call, and they may be able to rest their case by the end of this week. The defense may then call its own witnesses. We will have much more on this trial a little later in the show. And speaking of the former president , he returned to the Campaign Trail over the weekend, and while doing so, offered some praise for one of the most notorious fictional characters of all time. At a rally in wildwood, new jersey, on saturday, trump likened migrants entering the country to Hannibal Lector, the fictional character in silence of the lambs. Its a comparison hes made over the year, but unlike previous occasions, trump lauded the person to the people in new jersey. Silence of the lambs. The great late Hannibal Lector, he was a wonderful man. He often had a friend for dinner. Remember this . He said, excuse me, im about to have a friend for dinner. But Hannibal Lector, congratulations. The late great Hannibal Lector. Trump drew a big crowd in new jersey, but still safely a blue state. Meanwhile President Biden spent part of his weekend on the west coast, raising millions for his reelection bid. In a private fundraiser outside seattle, biden ramped up his attacks on trump telling donors this. Its clear when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him. Hes not only obsessed with losing in 2020, hes clearly unhinged. Just listen to what hes telling people. The president was also in the bay area raising money over the weekend, and the Biden Campaign announced hell be returning to the west coast next month for a starstudded fundraiser in los angeles. The campaign is looking to boost fundraising in an effort at a time when trump and the rnc attempt to close the contributions gap. Alist againsts include former president barack obama and the Actors George Clooney and julia roberts. The two will be featured in a Campaign Social Media contest and have their names on contributions emails. President biden is also expected to hold a fund raiser with bill and Hillary Clinton early this summer. Thats according to a source familiar with their plans, telling nbc news. Joining us now, White House Reporter for the associated press, darlene summerville. Darlene, thanks for starting us off this morning. President trump has been largely confined a manhattan courtroom in recent weeks, but he did get out on the Campaign Trail over the weekend. But it provided us a rare split screen where we had trump and President Biden both on the Campaign Trail at the same time. Tell us a little bit more about what we heard from each man. Good morning, jonathan. As you mentioned, President Biden spent part of the weekend on the west coast. He was in the San Francisco area, also seattle. He had four fundraisers between those cities, raising millions of dollars. Largely the president s fundraising speeches are a split between trying to draw a contrast with the former President Donald Trump talking about him, as you mentioned earlier, as being unhinged, you know, something snapped in him in 2020, he made some jokes. What we saw from former President Trump over the weekend in new jersey was what the local authorities said there was a huge crowd of 80,000 to 100,000 people who showed up for him in this reliably blue state for this rally. The former president isnt getting out on the Campaign Trail as much as we all know because hes spending a lot of his time in a new york courtroom, but his appearance over the weekend was basically an hour and a half of criticized President Biden largely over his handling of the economy, electric vehicles, china, and his praise of Hannibal Lector as you just mentioned. Yeah, hard to imagine the Serial Killer vote will come out strong in this election, but one never knows. An certainly some other officialsdy putted the size of that crowd, but certainly a big one all the same. So, darlene, the Biden Campaign and the president himself have largely avoided talking about trumps legal issues. They dont want to be perceived as having a thumb on the scale in any way, although, the president will occasionally make a joke but not talk about it directly. Behind the scenes, how is he trying to use it to his advantage while trump is confined to a courtroom, while the salacious details are there for even to see. How is he trying to further split screen the image . Absolutely. One of the things youre seeing with President Biden is the pace of his campaigning. They, with former President Trump stuck in a courtroom, the Playing Field or the Campaign Field is largely bidens to take advantage of, and youre seeing the president trying to do that with the trip over the weekend to the west coast. He has some more campaigning coming up this weekend. Basically every week well see this split screen with the former president in a courtroom, and President Biden will be out somewhere in the country talking about what hes doing and how awful he thinks it wouldif the former president is reelected, that sort of thing. So thats one of the ways theyre trying to take advantage of it. And, of course, the other way theyre trying to take advantage of it is also through the fundraising. Right now President Biden has a bit of a cash advantage over the former president , and thats something they would like to maintain and build upon, and so were also seeing that as another way that theyre trying to capitalize on the situation. And as you note in your report, theyre trying to remember what the voting was like. Thanks for starting us off. Darlene superville, good to see you.

The United Nations<\/a> say more than 300,000 piece have now fled rafah. The announcement came hours after israel announced new evacuation orders, raising fears their troops may soon invade the area. Since then, theres been intensifieding in the area. Dozens of people have also been killed in air strikes there. The Biden Administration<\/a> has voiced its opposition to a Ground Invasion<\/a> in rafah, but us real continues to claim the move is necessary to defeat hamas. Now the New York Times<\/a> is reporting that the top leader of the terror group is not even hiding in rafah. U. S. Officials say the leader most likely never left the Tunnel Network<\/a> under khan younis, the city further north. Its believed hes also using a group of israeli hostages as human shields. The officials tell the times that Israeli Intelligence<\/a> agencies agree with this american assessment. Additionally Secretary Of State<\/a> blinken spoke about it during his interview with Meet The Press<\/a> yesterday. He said israel lacks a credible plan for protecting people within gaza city and he was pressed on President Biden<\/a>s threat to withhold weapons. Take a listen. I want to drill down with you on President Biden<\/a>s threat to withhold weapons. What exactly is his redline, mr. Secretary . What would trigger him to say, i am now with Holding Weapons<\/a> . Look, we dont talk about redlines when it comes to israel. President biden did talk about a redline, though, mr. Secretary, respectfully. Let me be clear. What would trigger him to make that decision . Sure. So, first, we have been holding back and were in active conversations with israel about the provision of heavy or high payload weapons, large bombs, because of the concern that we have about the effect these weapons can have when theyre used in a dense urban environmental like rafah. Were discussing that with israel right now. Second, what the president said was that if israel goes in with a Major Military<\/a> operation in rafah, in that case, there are certain systems that we will not provide to israel that would aid that effort because its something that we do not want to be part of, given the damage it would do to civilians, and, again, not to achieve a durable lasting effective result for israel and for its security. Joining us now, retired cia officer marc polymeropoulos. Hes an msnbc security and intelligence analyst. Good to see you this morning. Lets talk about the State Of Play<\/a> in rafah. We just noted the New York Times<\/a> piece, the u. S. Intelligence, that the u. S. And israelis agree with. Also the Washington Post<\/a> had an article over the weekend that suggestions that u. S. May be Withholding Info<\/a> on hamas. You say thats not consistent with what you experienced when you worked with the agency. Tell us about this murky intelligence and what the fate of rafah is going to be in the coming weeks. Jonathan, good morning. First of all, the redline the administration has put forward is more a hue of pink, frankly. Et at the same time, i think there is an acknowledgement that something will be done in rafah. In terms of where the idf is right now, theyre not in the city. The Israeli Mihmstair<\/a> is still on the outskirts. There have been evacuations for over 300,000 palestinians. There was an announce nnlt that the National Security<\/a> advisers met with the idea there are going to be delegations that get together in person to discuss what happens in rafah. Most importantly in all of this, jonathan, the Israeli Press<\/a> on both sides, there are details growing, concerns from leaders about netanyahus lack of a plan for the day after. So this a34r50is to rafah. It also apply, frankly. Two divisions are back in central and Northern Gaza<\/a> because theres no plan because of hamas reconstituting. In effect you have the u. S. Administration in concert with the National Security<\/a> establishment against netanyahus lack of plan. Thats pretty significant. I think those are the discussions were going to see the day after. One last police, i know you noted to the Washington Post<\/a> talking about u. S. With holding almost actionable intelligence about the location of hamas. I dont think thats correct. I think that has caused quite a stir. Thats not something they would do with scores of american citizens killed and five or six american hostages with hamas somewhere in the gaza strip. Yeah, still immense amount of pressure right now on the president as this rafah operation looms. Lets turn to russia now. Two things. First, president putin, a bit of a shakeup in his defense ministry, a significant one here in this moment and it comes at the same time as russia is making Real Progress<\/a> around kharkiv with fears around the city, the second largest in the cityings that could boy tell chally fall to russian forces. Give us some information. The Defense Minister<\/a> who has been around for quite some time has been removed and is now chief of security council. And the new guy, frankly, is a technocrat. Hes an economist. This suggests perhaps that Vladimir Putin<\/a> understands the industrial part of the war effort is most important. They need to innovate. They need to continue production of drones and other systems. So the criminologists will be looking at this very closely, i would hope. Theres some intelligence looking at exactly why putin would do this. Its interesting because the one is a loyalist and the petro chief was a big hawk on ukraine. What it means remains to be seen, but hes shuffled the decca little bit. You alluded to Russian Military<\/a> moves in Kharkiv North<\/a> of you crepe. This is something certainly to watch because some villages are falling. Kharkiv is going to be in the range of more russian strikes. I think overall its a refleksz its taken a long time for the u. S. And western aid to arrive. Russia is going to see some success on the battlefield, and the citizens of kharkiv are the ones who might be most affected. All right. We appreciate the analysis as always. Retired cia officer marc polymeropoulos. Thanks for joining us.

Stock futures slightly up with wall street looking toward fresh Inflation Data<\/a> this week. Well be watching that. Whats the sense as to whats driving the markets this morning . Yeah, so its going to be all about that inflation print actually, jon, a bit of a trade that might look toward finding some sort of gap. We do Have Fed Chair<\/a> Jerome Powell<\/a> speaking tomorrow, so that certainly might move the needle as well. Really wednesdays date, the cpi print will be quite significant and the key worry is whether the inflation continues to stay sticky around the 3 mark right now. Will it hit 2 . How soon can it ultimately get there . The bit is it will go down later in the year. Maybe youll get only one Interest Rate<\/a> as well. That is anticipated to happen in november. All of those questions are percolating through the market. Earnings are still making their way through the system. Still a whole host of data to wade through, but certainly there will be that cpi print to look out for. So consumers are becoming increasingly worried about the trajectory of the u. S. Economy. Youve got new data on that. Tell us about it, please. The Consumer Sentiment<\/a> survey out of Michigan State<\/a> then, its the u. S. Michigan state Sentiment Data<\/a>, which then points to a significant drop, a 12point percentage drop on a monthtomonth basis. We were sitting at 77 points. Weve now dropped off quite considerably. Its a big dropoff in that Sentiment Data<\/a> when the market had been anticipating 76 77 to 76. It tells you consumers are perhaps thinking consumers will get a whole lot worse here. Even so, if you look through the weeds, consumers think the inflation will hit 3. 5 in one years time, which is, of course, nearly double where the fed would like it to be. Of course, that 2 figure being the one that the market is looking for p thats the highest as well in six months as well when it comes to that print. So it is worrying data, consumers not feeling too confident about the u. S. Economy. Certainly that matters in an election year. Cnbcs Arabile Gumede<\/a> live from london. Thank you. Still ahead here, well take another look at Donald Trumps<\/a> criminal Hush Money Trial<\/a> and what we can expect when the court reconvenes later this morning.

Wooooo we turn back to Donald Trumps<\/a> criminal husband money trial. On friday they spoke of the payments in the leadup to Michael Cohens<\/a> testimony. We heard from madeleine westerhout, trumps gatekeeper. Under crossexamination she related how trump was fielding incoming requests nonstop and he would simply right oneword answers on requests that came before him. For example, he responded to one bill by writing one word, pay. They have sought trump to be too busy for some of the documents that landed on his desk. Then later on friday, a paralegal from the Manhattan Office<\/a> verified records paid from trumps personal checking account. Another relayed a series of messages between a former National Enquirer<\/a> chief and daniels manager whether she would go public about her affair with trump. Joining us now, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. So good to see you again. We appreciate you here. Today is Michael Cohen<\/a>. Lets start with the importance of cohens testimony for the prosecution. Arguably hes the whole case. Up until now the witnesses were a Window Dressing<\/a> or prebutt to Michael Cohens<\/a> credibility. If he had zero credibility, you could make the argument he alone would be able to testify for the prosecution because presumably hes going to provide direct evidence. That means essentially donald trump told me to do things that are crimes as opposed to all the other circumstances, which, by the way, is powerful evidence of donald trump having the requisite intent of committing all these other crimes. Thats when you have doctors and witnesses describing the payments to deal with it by cohen and repayment by trump. What they ooesh tried to do is minimize his accountability with documents. Perhaps in a comedic moment, several comedic moments throughout the trial, Michael Cohen<\/a> has been hit with shrapnel by some of the prosecutions witnesses who designed him. Someone at one point put together a screen of insults at cohen throughout the case. There are a lot. The jury has prepared for cohen as kind of a comic figure, sinister figure, a person who breaks things and then fixes it. The prosecutions plan is when the smoke clears, they will acknowledge as they often do with cooperatingtype witnesses, theyll action noon this is a witness with problems, but this is a witness the defendant chose to do business with, and you, the jury, can look at all the other documents and witnesses who corroborate what Michael Khouw<\/a> men says. We can expect it to be a couple of days, secret . At least. The prosecution has moved relatively quickly, which i think is part of their strategy. Its disorienting to the Defense Attorney<\/a> when theyre moving so quickly. Its tough to keep up with planning out your crossexamination and your strategy, but i think the prosecution is going to try to get to cohen as fast as they can. Its the prosecutions well talk during morning joe and have complete coverage of the trial. Up next, as we wait for donald trump to decide on his running mate, one name, surprising name, is emerging as a possible choice. Well show you who is front and center at fronts new jersey rally over the weekend. Coming up on morning joe, well bring you live reporting from outside that courthouse in Lower Manhattan<\/a> where, indeed, hours from now, star witness and former fixer Michael Cohen<\/a> will be on the stand for testimony that could make or break the prosecutions case. Plus, cohens former lawyer and adviser, lanny davis, will join the conversation to talk about how he sees this playing out. Also ahead, President Biden<\/a> is ramping up his attacks against donald trump. Why biden is now telling supporters that his predecessor is clearly unhinged. He believes something has snapped. Morning joe just a few moments away. Ahh. Its a good day to cough. Oh no. Bye, bye cough. Later Chest Congestion<\/a>. Hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours not coughing at the movies .

Former candidate doug burgum appeared at trumps rally over the weekend. He briefly addressed the crowd before the former president took the stage. Trump later praised him and fueled speculation that he is indeed a contender on the Vice President<\/a> ial short list. He is a very smart person. He is an outstanding person. He made a lot of money. Ran for office. He became the governor of north dakota. The numbers there, the numbers hes done there, the job hes done is unparalleled. His wife is incredible. So get ready for something, okay . Just get ready. Doug burgum has been incredible, and the country is lucky to have him. Joining us now, contributor to the conservative website the bulwark and happy Denver Nuggets<\/a> fan, tim miller. Served as Communications Director<\/a> for jeb bush and spokesman for the rnc. Tim, do we believe in bergmentum . He is really rich, appearing to trump, but what do we think of this . Is this a real thing . What would burgum bring to a trump ticket . Well, first, do we believe it . Who knows . Trump is obviously enjoying this latest season of The Apprentice<\/a> and bringing all these people out, having them suck up to him, and thats what he likes. I think trump also has this kind of hole in his heart. Despite the fact he used to be the president , he still needs his ego to be puffed up. Having other rich guys around, notice he mentions that all the time, like, he sees it as validation of him, right . Its somebody that is successful and would suck up to him like this. His ego likes burgum. You mentioned the money that could be kicked into the campaign. There is a money gap now between biden and trump. The last thing is, he does look the part, so to speak. Trump wants somebody when, if you close your eyes, picture the movie of the president , burgum looks like the generic vp. Why does he want trump is the better question. This guy is rich and could do anything he wanted in his life. He saw what happened to mike pence. Liz cheney had harsh words for him over the weekend, i think rightly, over his misstatements for trumps record on foreign policy. Burgum to trump is the more befuddling part than the other way around. We know trump doesnt want anyone else to take any of the spotlight. Burgum is nonthreatening. But it is a long shot. Tim, like so many of the other potential vp candidates, and weve heard from tim scott and more, when pressed about the upcoming election, none of them are committing, none are committing to honoring the result were trump to lose. They dance around it or flat out say they wont do these things. Theyre doing trumps bidding. As more and more republicans hear that, it plants the seeds, without evidence, this will be rigged this fall. How dangerous is all this . Extremely. You know, jd vance also did this, you mentioned tim scott. The burgum one is interesting. If you watch the clip of him being interviewed, his was retrospective, looking back at 2020. He wont even really acknowledge that the 2020 election was, you know, resolved appropriately, right . He is out there kind of doing this dance of, oh, hes not doing the crazy My Pillow Conspiracies<\/a> by the highclass conspiracies. You know, we dont know how covid changed things. We had these dropboxes, all this nonsense. These folks all know better. You can imagine a different scenario where donald trump was not in their lives, where they would not be on tv, you know, trying to undermine our democracy. Trump has corrupted all of them. I think it is extremely dangerous, and it shows just how far and how deep the rock goes. Somebody like doug burgum, you know, who is sort of a generic, educated republican, not a maga republican, is going to go along with this, imagine what people who are real, True Believers<\/a> are thinking about, you know, the election lies. We saw the results of that in 2021. Tim, we mentioned earlier in the show, a split screen, a rare moment where both trump and biden on the Campaign Trail<\/a> because trump is spending so much time in manhattan courtrooms. Lets take a look from 30,000 feet. What trend lines do you see in this race . Where do you think it stands right now about six months to election day . Yeah, look, i think joe bidens issue right now in the polls, which is why you see him polling below what his result was in 2020, is that he hasnt coalesced the Traditional Democratic<\/a> groups. I think biden is doing pretty well with the never trumpers, the suburban, former republican types, but the problem is, with younger voters, with noncollege educated voters of color, black and hispanic voters, particularly men, his numbers are slack. I think the Big Question For Biden<\/a> is, can he kind of, you know, bring those folks back into the fold . Meanwhile, are people going to be increasingly turned off by trump the more they focus in . If you look at this, the most engaged people, people watching cable news, biden is doing very well with the most engaged voters. It is the unengaged voters trump is doing well with. Maybe some of them tune this stuff out. When they reengage with trump, see the ads biden is putting up, do they change their view . The less engaged voters and the softer parts of the Biden Coalition<\/a> are the key ones at this point. I think thats right. The Biden Campaign<\/a>s theory of the case has always been, even if its not until the fall, when people start paying attention, theyll be turned off by trump. We dont know what role this trial, especially if there is a conviction, may play. Right now, though, very, very close. Contributor to the conservative website the bulwark, tim miller, thank you. Hope youll join us again soon. Thanks to you for getting up Way Too Early<\/a> with us on this Monday Morning<\/a>. Morning joe starts right now. Silence of the lamb, has anyone ever seen this .
