there who are having these conversations and really difficult scenarios. really conservative communities. i grew up in a conservative community. i understand these conversations are difficult to have. but it is critical. it is the most critical thing this year. we have heard this time and again and i believe it. this is the most important election of our lives. >> the other aspect of this, what i'm finding to be very fascinating now is to listen to how some republicans who were very strident in their staunch regard -- staunch notes regarding abortion, you have folks like kari lake and others doing the backstroke away from positions that they held on to very firmly come up to and including the dobbs decision. how do you personally assess this level of flip-flopping? and what steps can be done to make sure people know where
examination and have all the exhibits lined up, you, sir, just have to sit there and look not guilty. >> and don't fall asleep. >> and don't fall asleep, because here's the thing, the jurors are watching every criminal defendant all the time. that is the criminal defendant you have never heard of. in this case, with the most infamous criminal defendant, there watching him the entire time. the lawyers will be looking to see if they can get eye contact with the jurors because they will be staring at him the entire time. i don't want to sound dramatic, that he could make or break his case with his misbehavior in the courtroom. maybe what he does not realize is that the same approach that has worked in the media does not work in court, because jurors don't like defendants who act out. that is why attorneys like me beg our clients to just sit there, take notes, do not tug at my sleeve, don't roll your eyes or shake your head. some clients listen and other clients don't. but i can tell you, most of
the party. he may have taken notes from pelosi. i don't know if he will admit to that, but in all seriousness, this idea that they are going to find other individuals and try to oust someone like johnson, who is right of right and recently endorsed by trump, is really hard to fathom, in part because they are going into the most tenuous selection for the house this coming election season. and the house right now only holds its majority by a very thin margin. and so what they are trying to do right now, i mean looking back because what they're trying to do is create space for the extreme right to say oh my goodness, i am taking them home but providing pathways so they can continue to be able to have the house at the end of the day. this is far more political and it is one of the reasons why marjorie taylor greene -- i'm not ousting him tomorrow, it is more theatrical than it is materially. materially. >> right, because if i heard

or do you expect that he might settle at some point? well, i mean, this suggests i that news uk might be trying to pick people off and to settle individual claims. | there's still about 40 claims . unresolved and heading to trial injanuary alongside prince harry. - but this is a — this i is a vendetta for him and he has shown that he's got results. - he got results against - the mirror in december last year in a landmark ruling . and my instinct is he wants to get the biggest scalp - possible — and that would be rupert murdoch, i think. taylor swift is permanently in the headlines. she's a massive driver of traffic for the media — even bigger this week as her 11th album, the tortured poets department, is out on friday. disney paid a ridiculous amount of money to start streaming her eras tour and the british broadcaster itv has hired a taylor swift correspondent. joining me is laura snapes, guardian's deputy music editor, who writes a weekly taylor swift newsletter called swift notes for the guardian. and augusta saraiva, bloomberg's economics reporter who coined the term — and this is a good claim

to get them off the jury. i call merchant coward surprise to you. would you have done that? would you have stet stood up and said, wait, number one, even tell the truth. number two taking it out political science, most of them are republican apparently 30 years ago. what's that's the issue. >> the issue is the dishonest do not being candid. i mean, that's not something you forget to disclose. so believe me, this is not over both sides and particularly the defense are going to continue to look into these jurors backgrounds to see if there's anything else that they forgot to disclose and don't overlook the alternate we're going into the ultimate it's tomorrow. i predict not all of these jurors are going to make it through several week trial. the alternate are going to be absolutely critical here. >> so tastes hasn't started yet, but from the, from day one and 11, pretrial stuff, you're making notes. if you're the defense team in case donald trump is convicted, what might we appeal first, i want to hear no, i already got them rattled off first thing has to do with the sandoval issues, so they wanted they were too late and bringing up, these are the things we want to talk to
