from president trump himself. testifying with the crowd and i would testify on the line and that's not a trial and former acting attorney general matt whitaker. there's no chance to get an impartial jury he's next.

norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... that's like $20 a month per unlimited line... i don't want to miss that. that's amazing doc. mobile savings are calling. visit xfinitymobile.com to learn more. doc?

>> i would testify. that's not a trial. that's a scam. they took one of their top guys and put him into the da's office to run it and it's a shame. what they've done is incredible. it's election interference and it's got to stop. it's a third world country and the country has never done it. i president trump ready to take the stand at upcoming hush money trial and going for the third appeal to delay that and monday starting with jury selection and this is really when the whole tire dais with them to sign on junior jury. find a leader or polarizing figure that people don't want to align themselves with and hard to calculate themselves with

what it means in new york, math. a few years ago people are open and not already hugely donald trump it . >> it will be, manhattan county said they've judged the case and think donald trump is guilty. you have seven of every ten voters voted for joe biden is only two trump voters out of every ten and so it's just going to be hard to pick a fair and impartial jury. the biggest thing i worry about is those people that want to be on the jury that are not going to tell the truth and they'll say mig to try and get on the jury and become famous and convict the president and pick ago jury in this environment will be very did i have cull. i'm not sure this judge really understands how hard it is for president trump to actually get justice in new york city.

will: matt, is that grounds for appeal and it's setting up for appeal already? >> they seem determined to take him to trial in new york city, in manhattan, in really difficult environment for president trump to be s uccessful. now, on the point of him t estifying, that could come of this. these are bad legal issues

and they're not felony claims. the reason they're elevated felonies is because of the election issue to not be a violation of law and so many issues that case should not be going to trial on monday and we'll have to buckle up and be ready. will: i'm glad you address the whether or not donald trump would testify and he says he would and kind of uncommon occurrence and going with those and whatever happens this week is what comes the next and then

comes the appeal. >> he's changing the business record and donald trump is the only victim of that crime by the way. it's a two year access to f elonies and covid extendture and going on the process here and going with the other decisions that make so many to change the face of the trial. what does that say to the american people?

this is election interference. will: yeah, the point of the jury and those are used to find issues of fact and this case is so riddle the with issues of legal problems that would help at some level and whether or not it's an appellate court or supreme court and they find real justice. matt whitaker thank you for b eing with us this morning. >> good to see you, will. will: corral geopoliticalling folk. new incloughsive version cespedes quarterbackingly for general, . is the flip -- gen z. is the flip phone on a comeback. huh one is fighting app addictions with a 2000 relic next.

craig:t latest studies showing

that gen z americans struggling with mental health issues more than any other generation. we believe the smart phones are to blame. will: a third say they use social media constantly. going with good mental health

and something happened around 2012 that seems to have made kids in the double rates of suicide and 50% for the younger teenage girls throughout 150% and something terrible is h appening and there's no other hypothesis and they're spending most time on social media and we show that statistic and a third are pretty much always on them happening to the print. it's no way to get up and going for the mental health.

it's not feasible going back to smart phones and a flip phones but my thought is getting out of all this and agreeing to the problem is someone has to innovate us out of this in some way and i don't know the answer of how or what it could be and i don't know that historically it's been going to an ancient technology. u >> we feeling frommented and i

can't go back -- fragmented that and going on the line and g etting through early puberty before we give them the greatest distraction and how about if we don't let them have this distraction and going for the pocket and tare nexting each other -- they're texting each other and this is looking at out of control situations and going for them and what age is appropriate and we agree on what they do and what s the right a ge. >> all this concern is mental health and i would say it's something between 16 and 18 and all the way through puberty and going for them to propose n umbers and hold me at minimum and going down under 18 and i'm saying there's only one reason giving kids a smart phone and

>> right now especially the g irls, they get drawn off into the horrible waste lands at age of 10 and 11. it's influencing their d evelopment. we were able to go outside. rachel: this is a gift you're giving your kids and you were spot on and flip phones and i have nine kids and took me three kids and on the fifth kid, i

finally figured it out. i can't remember. whatever. >> too many kids. rachel: too many. i finally figure it had out and she's got a flip phone and flip februaries among gen z, even 20 year-olds is on the rise and they want two phones. one with the apps and then they want a flip phone for when they go out with friends scottie they're not tempted. and realize they want that p hone. >> rachel, i'm hiring you for my pr spokesperson and everything you said there was just perfect. let me point out one of the key things here is don't focus on the new phones and everyone is

information to the immigration judge that made that decision and that should have been a priority and they've been under orders by dhs to process and release as quickly as possible and this administration is cause ago huge national security vulnerability and they know it. pete: this guy was a member of big anti-american terror group in afghanistan, yet judges aren't told about it and he's given twice this guy a lternatives to detention. which means we release you. >> the federal statute is clear, he should have been detained. this administration is ignoring the laws and passed by congress signed by the president and i
