like, tragic sadness. and he had so much humour and so much positivity and so much love to give people. brahms, for me, isjust one of the most heartbreaking, um... expressions of that complex human emotion that i�*ve ever come across. when did you first play brahms�* violin concerto? i came to brahms�* violin concerto pretty late, actually. it was probably, um...about seven years ago. um...so i got through all my teenage years without playing that violin concerto. it was one, alongside beethoven, that was really hyped up to be something that you shouldn�*t really attack or address until you�*re, i don�*t know, 60 years old. not quite, but, you know, mature to a certain degree. it has a kind of patience and gravitas and drama and, um. . . maturity to it that i think is probably better, um... better addressed later in life.
affairs, sport, drama, entertainment, comedy. ithought affairs, sport, drama, entertainment, comedy. i thought it needed someone. it is such a big subject and show, someone with gravitas and authority and he has met all these people. i thought of michael and approached him. fortunately, he said yes and hosted it and did a greatjob. following that, i went to the controller and said we really should be bringing michael back because there is not a straightforward talk show on air. we have a couple of comedy shows, such as mrs merton, dame edna, but no one was doing a proper interview show. they said yes and that was it. michael, good morning. watching some of these moments, and we remember some of the funniest and most remarkable, but i am mindful that it strikes me that in an industry for of big egos, people who like the
former justice thomas' law clerk. he has the gravitas, so i'm glad he's joined us on a saturday. you know, john, jack smith is essentially saying, all right, you went a step too far, mr. president. , talking about this and all but threatening people on your truth social site. so is he now cracking down or could he crack down on the president's social media posts? >> hi, neil, good to be with you. by the way, as a philly boy, i've seen fights break out over boxes of cannoli, you don't need social media. [laughter] neil: tell me about it. >> this protective order and the request and the way it's been phrased, it shows you how unusual and unique this case is, how it brings together conflicts between the politics of the election and the politics of president trump exercising his free speech rights and what would happen in normal legal trials, normal prosecution. but this is not a normal prosecution because this is the
gravitas that you have articulated today about the somber occasion. he sees it as a kind of feather in the cap, which only helps the prosecution to really unpack this case even more. >> and if you're just joining us, those are images of donald trump's boeing 757. we are expecting him to get off the plane any moment. the plane flew from bedminster, new jersey, where he has one of his golf resorts, to reagan national airport outside washington, d.c., across the river in virginia. and carrie cordero, the state of mind of donald trump is something his defense attorneys have brought up in recent days. i think one of them said, i'd like to see them prove that donald trump knew what he was saying in terms of his election falsehoods, that he knew that they were falsehoods. looking through the indictment, which -- hold on one second. i'm sorry. we have kristen holmes, who is with trump on the tarmac, and let's just check in with her.
in the event that the primary slate is invalidated. you can't just look at the document and say okay, i don't like this document. but it's not something you can put people in jail for. >> 60 federal judges, mr. parlatore as you well know decided that there was no appreciable fraud. >> that's not accurate. most of those judges rejected the cases on standing. none of those judges actually got to the merits. >> laura: whoops, somebody forgot to put that in the folder. perhaps most disgusting though is how our so-called historians are in on the conspiracy as well. they have lost all gravitas, if they ever had it and, of course, their credibility and now they are indistinguishable from any other random cable guest. >> does it, as a historian, take your breath away a little bit? >> this is a day that we have never seen before in american history. this is an ex-president of the united states indicted and arraigned for things did he in office. we could have lost our
so i think trying to make a point, to the american people, particularly those in the middle. falling on deaf ears. >> what do you think? the polling, the way it's being described. the severity and the gravitas? people like okay, so what? >> i think a lot of this is priced in. as we heard, in the january 6th commission we have already heard a lot of the details before. there are some new things in here. mike pence being told you are too honest. you know little things that might be new. >> but in general, the narrative is pretty similar. if you came into this day already believing that donald trump is a criminal, terrible and try to overturn election. this validates you. but if you woke up this morning thinking donald trump got on wrong and then over since the biden administration has been coming after him. today validates that for you. so i do not think that this alone moves the polls. what could move the polls is that as this advantages, do republicans start to stay down
[laughter] will: that's great. we've got a waterslide out there on fox square. and douglas, you're going to do it too, right? douglas: it's really worrying words to me when you say you've got a waterslide outside. rachel: you don't get to sit in pete's seat and not do a waterslide. you're on an american morning show, you have to degrade yourself like the rest of us. douglas: i don't remember seeing this in the contract. rachel: it's really small. will: must destroy your gravitas. welcome to "fox & friends." we begin with two major stories, first, as long-term mar-a-lago employee is scheduled to appear before a federal judge. rachel: on capitol hill, expected testimony from the former business partner of president biden's son, hunter, could put them both in even more turmoil. douglas: alexandria hoff is
consistent with him expecting he's going to be charged and his attorneys saying, keep your mouth shut. so i think a lot of us have speculated about how valuable he might be to a prosecution, unlike people like rudy giuliani, who i think are utterly incredible, meaning sponsoring a witness like that in front of the jury is really challenging because he is such a liar. mark meadows has a little bit more gravitas than that. it could be somebody that the prosecution could feel comfortable putting on the stand if they satisfied themselves that he's telling the truth. it could be he's going to be on the other side. >> the intriguing part, how someone like meadows could be in a number of spots in this scenario. and then you layer on top of that what's happening down in georgia now over the last couple of days. they started putting up
department, is not a place were candace want to be, they have not shown an appetite to take on trump despite a willingness to move on from donald trump, stuck in a position where they feel like their hands are tied behind their back and he is punching full steam ahead.>> if you think about it, although it's a political context, he's been on trial twice before, the impeachment proceedings, for people who may not have had jury duty or seen the inside of a courtroom, they envision the presentation evidence and similar to a trial, but you can have two ramifications, one is a numbing effect, the to be desensitized and not realize the gravitas, and the other is your itching for credibility, with the results of the impeachment, if you are prosecutor, your understanding you have a very informed and educated jury about a record of this person in the legal baggage that others
invasion. the timing is perhaps interesting. we should note that it is only recently that ben wallace acknowledges that he would not be in the running to be the next nato general secretary, a role he was said to be widely keen on. but this will leave a big vacancy in government. at a very crucial time. it signals a big change in rishi sunak�*s government because the reshuffle expected in september is going to be very, very key moment when it comes to resetting rishi sunak�*s government in autumn. whoever is stepping into the shoes will have to prove they have the gravitas. rishi sunak will certainly want conservative mps to be happy with whoever is taking on this role. georgia, thank you very much. meanwhile, the business and trade secretary, kemi badenoch, has formally signed off a trade pact with 11 asian
