>> but this timeline, if that is what happens, could this conviction stand if there is one? >> yes, and i think the government has made a very good case for why they can proceed us when as they can. they provided all the stuff. the number -- the volume that has been -- that have been produced i think is a little misleading cause a lot of it is public records. stuff that's been available for a long time. >> truth social posts. >> it's stuff that we know, it's stuff he's generated himself. so for them to say make comparisons, that they'd have to read the warrant piece five times a day in order to get ready, that's a little -- i don't think that carries any water. i think a lot of the stuff that the government produced is going to have no used to them in trial. >> what's really interesting point today was when there was questions from the prosecutors about a trump's defense team, they pull d. c. residents that contained the jury pool and the judge seemed adjusted and asking if john zero does do that. is that normal? >> i've never heard of that. i don't know if you have, dave. to go around to civilians and
legal analyst carol lamb. great to have all of you here. ryan, give us a breakdown of what judge chutkan had to say. what did she decide and why? >> reporter: one of the most interesting comparisons she made was comparing donald trump to a football player or professional athlete saying she wouldn't take into consideration a professional athlete's schedule when setting a trial. the trial is a little further down the line than the prosecutor requested, but a lot closer to them than what donald trump's team suggested. typically when someone is convicted, it's about three months before their sentencing is set. if you take that four to six-week timeline after march 4th, that brings you to mid april. three months down the road from that is mid july, right smack in the middle of the republican national committee. that's the timeline we're on now.
base. you have to separate it out. the point you make about any comparison to the kkk, let alone to a black female congresswoman, kkk is a terrorist organization, it was a terrorist organization at its inception when confederal veterans got together in 1865 and used violence and voter intimidation to push back the gains that were on april in the constitution. that comparison is somewhere between idiotic and just historically awful. you can have a good conversation about, look, identity politics, about the idea that a person's political beliefs should follow their group identity and that's a good debate to have, not just in republican primaries but everywhere, you want to talk about abe brahim kennedi, have that debate but those comparisons, it's beyond insulting and the debate shuts down. >> so, maura, john hits at a key
that swatter super warm and it will super charge that term. the question is whether it wobbles one way or the other. the back side of that storm to the right, if you will, the east side will be what's hit the hardest. and right now where is that looking? >> so that's a great point, bret. because, unlike what we saw with ian last year which folks always want to draw those comparisons or go farther back to 2 2017 wih irma. those both cut in. for folks with tampa you missed out on the surge, don't compare this storm to those. if you are in an evacuation zone a flood zone, please go. because this is a virtual lock at this point. that that center will be north of tampa bay. to your point you will be on the advancing side of this onshore component of the winds push those waters into the bay, a surge up to 7 feet possible. >> bret: thank you very much. interrupted florida governor ron desantis on the landfall. >> 70 miles per hour. it will become a hurricane very shortly.
make of these comparisons? >> i mean, johnny cash? listen, johnny cash? what's going on. >> the mugshot represents something. it represents donald trump having been arrested and booked. as a career law enforcement officer, i've seen a lot mugshots in my lifetime. never have i seen even the worst of the worst brag about their mugshots and put it on a t-shirt and raise money from it. look, you know, donald trump might get through the primary. it might work on a reality television show. it will not work with the general electorate. this is america. we cannot forget who we are. shame on us if america like somebody who is trying -- and convicted on multiple felonies. charged with racketeering, i mean, come on. >> you know, donald trump is
the verdict, and then you get sentencing. so, they've already misleading about the date. they're also representing the judge, there's so much discovery that they needed to get through, they're making these comparisons, if you pointed out all of the discovery, tore down the washington malignant, reading a tolstoy novel. several hundred times. but a lot of the materials already been in the public domain. a lot of discovery material is trump's own material. one of the points of the government made, which was kind of, it explained itself because they're, like you know, you could use keyword search. you can do control f and find what you need. >> control f. >> trolling them. >> honestly. donald trump can make the argument, oh, we don't have the staffing for this. you can hire more people to go through all of the discovery, right? there's nothing preventing him from doing that. >> yeah, absolutely. look, trump has its own issues there, because it has been a struggle for him to find lawyers who are willing to take him on as a client, willing to take this case. that is part of the impediment. i think the judge in the
some people say this is an antecedent for giuliani of january 6th. you know him well. what do you say? >> i think that incident was ugly and it's an outlier in the context of rudy's career and certain as mayor. but in the wake of september -- of january 6th, excuse me, there is an inevitable echo to draw the comparisons. it's important to understand, and i think one of the tragedies of what occurred, it's a self-inflicted tragedy, i want to emphasize that, is that a lot of the great good he did, not without controversy, with regard to reducing crime, welfare, improving the quality of life, a lot of initiatives that a lot of cities could learn from today, that is off limits because he has destroyed his legacy, made it toxic. incidents like that look likes it reveals his real character. a facet of his character. it didn't define the way he acted as u.s. attorney or certainly as mayor when i was
significant disruption to planter treatments. the knee and hip operations as well as follow—up appointments. they think a lot of that planned treatment will be cancelled over the next two days. as we have been hearing, this is not going to be the last of the strikes. two more days of strikes are planned for september and three days in october unless a deal can be 0ctober unless a deal can be reached. at the moment, the two sides are not even talking. the government has 36% pay rise but the british medical association say that take—home pay once you discount tax and pension contributions has fallen tjy and pension contributions has fallen by 35% after inflation since 2008. the two sides are a long, long way apart. the two sides are a long, long way a art. ~ .., the two sides are a long, long way a art, . . ., , the two sides are a long, long way aart.~ , the two sides are a long, long way aart. , , apart. we can see the graph behind ou of the apart. we can see the graph behind you of the international _ apart. we can see the graph behind| you of the international comparisons of pay. can you talk us through the figures? of pay. can you talk us through the fiaures? , .,, , ., of pay. can you talk us through the fiaures? , , ., , figures? this has provided fresh insiaht figures? this has provided fresh insight into _ figures? this has provided fresh insight into what _ figures? this has provided fresh insight into what has _ figures? this has provided fresh insight into what has been i insight into what has been happening. we have heard a lot about doctors moving abroad or thinking of
it? n, . ~ ,., ., ~ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani _ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was _ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the _ it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the face - it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the face of- it? back then when you were talking about, giuliani was the face of law l about, giuliani was the face of law enforcement in the united states, it was a figure of law enforcement. the journey from that to here, i was reflecting in the break actually that back in 2000, 2001, i use to teach at master schools that had students from the us and european alum universities. we use to talk about comparisons between the us and european politics. the bush supreme court verdict and the fact there was such strong losers consent and that united states. that was it, done. before all the upset there was on the democratic side, there was very little in the way a fuss about it we went through and we just commented on how amazing it was that you have a system that put so much trust in the american citizen. in 22 years that system has changed so much. we are already starting to see the flavour of the defence in this place, it's a first amendment case,
without a teleprompter and a br break. the voters see that they think joe biden lacks the mental acuity and the physical agility to be president to get the job done. that could backfire against him. >> martha: we know there are a couple of other candidates in the mix on the democrat side that would love to have the debate that we'll see tonight. they would love to have an opportunity to tell democrat voters what they would offer as an alternative to the current president. scott walker this morning speaking about ron desantis. there's been some comparisons made. there were high hopes for scott walker as he got in the republican race back then. of course, president trump ended upbeating him. let's listen to this from scott walker, the former governor of wisconsin. >> i think governor desantis in particular should learn from the mistakes i made. because you have a bold record doesn't mean you're going to win.
