Here in washington alive. Look at our Nations Capital on this friday morning its friday. We made it. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us. Donald trump is going on trial. His Delay Tactics and legal maneuvers seemingly exhausted Jury Selection Set to begin monday in new york in the former president s Hush Money Trial, that process expected to take a week or possibly longer. Judge juan merchan says he expects the trial to last six to eight weeks. Sources tell cnn Law Enforcement is deploying a multilayered Security Plan on social media. And in the streets of new york city. As trump is required to attend every day. And while that could limit his ability to hold rallies, he has shown plenty of willingness to turn Courtroom Appearances into Campaign Events. In the runup to the trial, trump keeps making the same claims that all the cases against him are politically motivated. All of these crooked cases are brought about by the justice department. In one form or another and crooked joe biden. But the only thing they could do is go after his political opponent a guy named donald j. Trump so lets just be clear that that claim is not correct. The Hush Money Case was brought by New York State the doj, the white house have no involvement here, but trump is likely to keep making that claim as we know, he does when he holds a rally tomorrow in the critical swing state of pennsylvania are panels here, republican strategist sarah longwell, former Obama White House senior policy adviser, Ashley Alice Wilson and isaac arent store whose National Political reporter for the Washington Post sarah longwell, let me start with you. You talked to voters all of the time. What do you hear from them about what were about to see unfold here. Well, first of all, there are so many cases against donald trump that for voters, a lot of this is white noise. They cant really tell all of the cases apart that being said, as they come into singular focus as he goes into trial, ive never liked this one going first because just the word porn star, which youre going to hear over and over again, is just the kind of thing that makes people laugh it off, is not serious, even though this is about corporate checks being passed and trying to hide things before an election. So it didnt get out. Even though thats what its about, like its the voters are going to interpret this one more. I think a little bit more through trumps frame as this is im trying to get me on something silly. Then they would Something Like the january 6 case or the document since case where when they ago taken singularly, seem more serious to voters than this one does ashley, do you agree with that assessment here and also, i mean, if youre the white house and youre the guy that youre running against is about to go on trial in new york. I mean, surely your apparatus is doing something to prepare for that, at least youre your campaign certainly should be even if its not in the white house, what do you know about what they are going to do next week . Well, its clear that the Biden Harris Campaign is going to use trumps criminal issues as a reason why voters should not trust him. So the campaign is going to be blasting it out using to fund raise. Im sure, you know, the rnc and the Trump Campaign in does not have as much money as joe biden. So the Trump Campaign will be using his Court Appearances as free political rallies, basically. And when he does that, he says these off the cuff, things that sometimes do not land as well as you would like them to for your everyday voter. And therell be using those repackaging those and send those out to say see, this is just the case. She had again, of why donald trump is unfit to be president. Now, will that work . Im not sure if its a sarahs point, because there are so many voters are confused. The one thing i will say that people should be on alert for is that when you have criminal cases, you often have missed Step Something can happen. And so donald trump will use those things as evidence as to why this is like a cricket case. Its normal in our judicial system to not always have a perfect streamline from point a to point z. But itll work in his favorite to try and twist it and say see their out to get me. And so they need to be prepared for that. Also . Yeah. So this this all kind ties together on predictability, what whether its going to break through or not. And jimmy kimmel talked about it on his show last night. Watch what he said all those trials are behind schedule and most now wont likely happen until after the election if at all, which i dont know seems like quite a lot of due process for which to me we can burn this, which yet her attorneys are saying the water we use to see if she floats wasnt distilled some here were there isaac. But this is of course its a historic moment, right . A former president , current nominee for a major party, going on criminal trial. Youve spent all this time inside the maga movement. How do you think they are going to see it differently from the general election to trump . Trump is now trying to win. Now that electorate. Well, its an intentional collision from trumps perspective. I mean, i was there for the hearing a few weeks ago that that set this date. And every time trump went in and every time he went out of the courtroom, cameras, he the campaign is for all intents and purposes for the next six weeks or however long this takes going to be in that hallway between the office where he meets with his lawyers and the courtroom where hes going to go into 40 Wall Street and Holding Press Conferences and trump is comfortable in that space of dominating the new cycle. He and his Campaign Like that. They think that works for him. But when this is the Subject Matter well have to see what do you think i think that this is not a great look for trump. I mean, this is where i think analysis still hasnt quite shifted from primary to general election, right . Because in the primary undoubtedly trumps legal troubles help him, right . People rally around and theyd say this is a witch on an but in general flexion, a lot of these sort of collegeeducated suburban swing voters dont love the look of a president ial candidate living in a courtroom and so i think that his campaign seems to have not made the shift yet out of primary mode. Do you think its going to be enough, allison the Ashley Allison, the existence of this trial, the fact that it is happening to grab peoples attention at a time when it is very hard to grab peoples attention for anything. Is it a big enough deal . I dont know. I mean, i think im not trying to say it should or shouldnt. I mean, its a still to me, but like can we can so much flooding our timeline in life happening . Im not sure. I mean, it does have some some juicy details to say the least. So i think if it spins out until again, like the kimballs of the world and becomes comedy perhaps. But i think it will have to break through on a pop cultural level and not just because its donald trump him, because hes in court because i think people sadly expect that at this point its really something thats sort of a frog in boiling water thing where everything he says people become a neural tube or the frog, where the frog, yeah, we have become, im joe. Im dumping out the water okay. All right.

Well see about that johnson still wont concede that President Biden won the 2020 election legitimately we recognize that President Biden won the 2020 election. Can you just put that biden was certified as the winner of the election. He took the Oath Of Office has been the president for three years ago. Constitution was violated in the runup to the 2020 election. Not, not always in bad faith, but in the aftermath of covid many states change their Election Laws in ways that violated that plain language. Thats just a fact all right. Panel rejoins sarah longwell. What does what does my johnson need from donald trump today and what does the two of them together standing on a stage say to you about the evolution of the Republican Party. I mean, when i think about it, when i compare what it was like for trump to come to washington in 2017 when there was a Republican Party thats still stood independently of him. It seems to me that this is really going to send a message but thats over. Im curious your view. I mean, its kinda been over, but heres the thing about whats happening right now, is that my johnson and Marjorie Taylor greene are kind of there in a fight with each other and theyre running to the ref, donald trump, theyre running to the big guy to see who heal back in this dispute over you know passing a Bill To Fund Ukraine and Marjorie Taylor greene, she wants to be like trumps righthand person, just like Kevin Mccarthy, shes part of the new maga establishment. But mike johnson also wants to be chief of the maga establishment. Hes the speaker of the house. He wants to be able to have trump back here m, against Marjorie Taylor greene, who wants to file a motion to vacate if he goes ahead and funds ukraine. And so this is actually to meet interesting from a trump perspective, like is he going to back them both . Is he going to pick a favorite once youre going to do . But as far as what it means about the Republican Party, the extent to which it is, you have to make these pilgrimages this is tomorrow logo, like Kevin Mccarthy did after january 6. Its really seems to me to be so get trumps behind you. Thats all you need to know about where the Republican Party is. Isaac. I mean, whats your sense of sarahs question here about trump and what hes gonna do it and he does often try to have it both ways, right . Keep everybody in the tent, but is he more johnson or more Marjorie Taylor . Green and Something Like this . Well, keep everybody in the tent. I mean, another way of saying that hes very comfortable with cats and a bag and loyalty goes one way with trump. I mean, we all remember Kevin Mccarthy looking through the starburst to pick out trumps favorite flavors. And that did not rescue Kevin Mccarthy when it was time. So this helps mike johnson day. It gives trumps something that he wants today. I dont think that it goes any farther than that big picture. Ashley allison, one of the things that johnson is fighting about with the rightwing of his conferences, fisa, i dont want to get into the Technical Details of seconds russian 702, but i do think johnsons explanation for why he is essentially changed his mind on fisa and gone from someone who was willing to stand with those right wingers who say its the government spying on you. And instead attempt to move an extension of it that angered his right wing . He explained it. Ill just let him tell you why it is. He says he changed his mind. Watch this area, saw the abuses of the fbi. Thats terrible abuses over and over and over the Hundreds Of Thousands of abuses and then one over. Can you speak girl into the scalp and gotten the confidential briefing from the other perspective on that to understand the necessity of section 700 two 5s and how important is punished when security and gave me a different perspective so g, he suddenly learned why was that . Its important for the country for this to go forward. And this just really stuck out to me because it seems like these story of the way these narratives get built on the right and become reality when phat, you are actually exposed to real information and details about what it actually takes to secure and govern a country. And this is
