So sit back, relax and lets talk about it first with Opening Statements set to begin monday in Donald TrumpsHush Money Trial Buyout the former president is railing against the case, the judge and the prosecutors saying and doing things, many lawyers suggest he probably shouldnt im just watching. Theres donald trump at a New York City courthouse blasting his criminal hush money trial. Hes going to have a very corrupt place. The former president has reason to worry, given his record and manhattan courtrooms this year in january of jury found him liable for defaming e jean carroll. It damages totalling 83 then in february, a judge fine trump 355 million for fraudulently inflating his empire is worth a fine of 355 million for doing a perfect job this time of jury will decide his fate. And when does his behavior, which range this way from appearing to fall asleep in court to making surprising statements outside of it was legal expense. Thats exactly what it was a claim the sun Court Observers say makes much of the prosecutors arguments for them that video could be played before the jury. No question here with me today or author and podcast host kara swisher rionda salam, president of the Manhattan Institute and contributing writer at the atlantic, New York Times journalist in podcast, toluse, lulu garcianavarro and jonah goldberg, editor of the dispatch and columnist at the la times. Welcome back, everyone. So rye khan, can donald trump get a fair trial in manhattan honestly, i dont see how he can. Of course, finding a jury that its going to be broad minded and fair is going to be exceptionally difficult, but the bigger issue is its that this would not be a set of charges brought up against anyone else other than donald trump. You have alvin bragg, the manhattan prosecutor, who is notorious for not prosecuting actual crimes. And here he is taking a series of trumped up misdemeanors and then packaging them up as a felony. I think that its unserious im so tired of this argument. Im really am i dont know. Im i am this idea that because its donald trump that he cannot get a fair trial in the biggest city in the United States. Government. He does not have a good record in manhattan. He has gotten hammered a couple of these. Maybe hes right well, you have a wrong by bias. Yeah. Yeah. Get a fair trial in New York City. Yeah. I mean, he of course, you can get a fair trial in New York City. And in fact, i remember at the beginning of this process, everyone was going on and on and on about how this is going to take forever to get this jury empaneled and how he wasnt going to be able to find anyone. And it has happened speedily he this judge has been actually on the ball and what weve seen is that this trial is going to start as scheduled on monday. I mean, by the way, just to be clear, judges in New York City, theyre elected right there oftentimes Democratic Political contributors. So youre darn right. They see this as an opportunity to make a name for themselves its different juries all over where he keeps losing every time he does this, i feel like would you like some cheese with the wine . Hes in court. Hes done things either win or not, and he has hes being he has a jury in front of him and you cant assume everyone in new york is the same. I dont know if youve met you live in new york im a lifelong new yorker and i will tell you im going to take and i grew rep. In manhattan i can take the saleh monic approach to this and cut the baby in half i think rons absolutely right that this case should not have been brought. I think the way theyre stacking the charges and strive to bootstrap these things together is not very persuasive to me and his name warned donald trump, this would have been brought that said, i still believe in the jury system i think hes probably gonna get a hung jury and i still think the court system is legitimate and fair, and he can get a fair trial. Lets lets turn to trumps behavior. So far. This week, because its pretty extraordinary. He does do often cord a couple of dawns actually, i think three hours of friday, prime asked you to say hes repeatedly violated a gag rule by attacking witnesses and jurors, and he seemed to admit, as we mentioned in the setup piece, that he marked payments to Michael Cohen as a legal expense. Qarrah its trump. Even in week one, is own worst enemy in this case, always be thinks it works and it works for the base and works for fundraising. The idea that hes a victim has the grievance Industrial Complex will go into place. Youre already seeing seeing that in the fundraising and this is how he behaves. Its an Impulse Control person now, under control and thats got a really hurt and as to the sleeping, hes tired. I dont know what to say. He must be tired we use the line to you to me earlier, which one dawns . Normally dorlian . I do. Like i have to say, once again, the internet when it just when you think its over, youre like don store, store leone. I think its whats the other one takes news fakes, news, and stuff like that. I think those are great. Well, when youre talking about slope, sleepy joe and suddenly cant use that anymore. Fortunately for him. But one of the things that i do like is the idea of all these people, the jurors as theyre coming forward, say putting up all the social media stuff about him and hes got to listen to it because mostly he doesnt get that incoming of negative and he gets positivity constantly, people constantly licking him up and down and all of a sudden hes seeing what i want to pick up on that because i was talking to norm eisen, who is a distinguished lawyer, knows he actually written a book about all of those. He was in court and he said there was one moment this week where the judge reprimanded trump. He doesnt get a lot of reprimands now. And any sad now, norm eisen is not a fan of trump that he kind of sunk back in his chair in his chin, went down and he looked like a beaten sixyearold. He said, the lack of control for a guy whos always in control has got to be tough. Yeah, its not just that hes always in control. Its his surrounds himself with an entourage of yes, men and yes women who tell him what he wants to hear, who praise him. He he always flux towards praise. Hes never kept waiting. And the problem is this is a very controlled environment and hes, hes used to behaving like an escaped monkey from a cocaine study. And all of a sudden he has to sit sit there and sit there quietly and behave himself. And i think it revs him up and not misbehave more once he gets out of the question, no phones allowed. So thats must be he must be levers that, i think is really worth noting. One thing that donald trump did while in new york, while in manhattan, was go to harlem to visit the bodega where jose aldo was a guy working as a clerk there. He was the victim of a violent crime. He defended himself then 11 bragg brought charges which you immediately dropped because manhattan nights were outraged about the fact that a guy who was defending himself was getting charged while the other guy was likely to get off scotfree. I think donald trump is actually using this as an opportunity, whether you like it or not, visited nypd cop who was killed on the job and go to this let me just say from the front page of the New York Post getting them in court room. Anyway, i want to pick up on yet another legal case that Donald Trumps involved in. This thursday, the Supreme Court is going to hear Donald Trumps case for total immunity for a president in involving official akre rayyan how many justices do you think well sayyed with trump either for complete immunity or partial immunity. Its hard for me to say. I will say that i think that chief Justice Roberts is going to be open to the argument that the dc circuit used very loose reasoning when issuing there decision here, you could say that no, he is not immune to all criminal prosecutions. But when youre looking at criminal laws that have some bearing on a president s official duties. Thats something that you want to be very careful about. And thats not coming from Donald Trumps lawyers. Thats coming from walter dellinger, who was president clintons a Solicitor General he made that case way back in 1995. You gotta be really careful when youre risking having criminal laws interfere with the president s official duties. Trying to overturn an election that was about to say, then you make a determination based on the specific facts of the case. But i think that there are some cases like going to the Justice Department and saying, hey baby, we need to investigate something. You might not like it, but that could be within the scope of a president s official duties. Lulu correctly, how many justices will sayyed with trump that when it comes to officially always know, we always know the same three are always going to take aside and there are neil gorsuch, they are samuel alito and they are his good, good, good powell lauren strong, clarence, thomas owe you all know already i was i was ridiculous. Gorsuch is the most pro Criminal Defendant justice on the court, regardless of the politics of it, thats why he votes with liberals all the time. I think there is zero chance that any justice will, will endorse trumps view of complete and total immunity to criminal things. Trump will lose that nine zero, whether theres a qualified immunity dependent on specific cases in circumstances, maybe on Capitol HillsSpeaker Mike Johnson with some Fancy Footwork to win a key vote in the house amid republican threatened just a firearm.

Including one just and 61 to ukraine, which farright members of the house gop flatly opposed the bills are expected to pass with the help of a majority of democrats. As we saw friday during a key procedural vote but relying on democrats as gop Speaker Mike Johnson in trouble with his own republican conference. Farright members are now threatening to golf for a motion to vacate, which is a vote to remove him as speaker. Johnson says, he will press on im not deterred by red do the right thing, but theres a lot to break down here, but lets start with johnsons strategy. Jonah, ten, johnson continue as he has are at least right now to run the house with the aid. The total dependence on democrats no. I think this is a well its not a oneoff. Its a four off because theyre four bills. But democrats dont want to normally support johnson on anything. Republicans than anything that would, that would be abnormal. And if he tries to continue to leverage democratic support beyond this specific thing thats happening basically today. I think that would spell his demise. Lulu in a Hyperpartisan Washington and particularly in a highly polarized house, how sustainable is this for johnson . I mean, he would not have gotten the rule and if he passes the vote today you wouldnt have done it without the intercession of democrats. I mean, i think its unprecedented but i also agree with jonathan. Its a oneoff. I dont think that this is going to be a new moment of comedy between the democrats and speaker johnson. However, i am impressed with how he has managed this. I mean, this allows very yes factions within both republicans and democrats to vote for the parts of the, of this that they want to vote. So if there are democrats who are uncomfortable with israel aid, they can perhaps not supported if there are republicans who are uncomfortable with ukraine aid, they can perhaps not supported and then they bundle them all together. And so i think actually hes done very well out of this. Yeah, you know, the house right wing of the house gop was not happy with the way this went down. Here is congressman matt gaetz talking about this . It seems as though the coalition to proceed onto this foreign aid bill doesnt include house conservatives. And i think thats going to rile a lot of Republican Voters right hassan at least in this case, has the right wing of the house gop been out fox by johnson there in a really tough spot, partly because they do not want to blow up yet another speaker. You now have a Presumptive Republican president ial nominee who does not want the House Rep
