[cheering] donald trump is back in court today.

the trial is in session and it continued today with the defense's cross-examination of former fixer and wet sock watching you leave it behind at the laundromat, michael cohen. trump's team went after cohen hard in the cross examination, trying to depict him as a serial liar out for revenge. "michael, we have so much in common: serial lying. lying about cereal. you know, i met the late, great toucan sam. they say he followed his nose, it always knows, but guess where it took him? straight into a windmill. windmills kill, my friends. his friend sonny went cuckoo with grief. they claim, they always say cuckoo for cocoa puffs, but i say mr. toucan sam and mr. cuckoo were lovers. who knows the truth? all we know for sure is that they will forever be part of this complete breakfast." [cheers and applause]

i knew toucan sam down in miami. he knew how to use that nose, my friend." to try to prove that cohen was deeply biased and eager to see trump punished, trump's lawyer played a clip of cohen's podcast in which he celebrated trump's indictment. reportedly, on the clip, cohen sounded giddy, high-pitched, and was speaking so fast that if you didn't know better, you'd think the tape had been artificially sped up. [high-pitched] i know how he feels. i, i've been pretty excited about this whole trial. boy, oh, boy. what if trump's convicted? but on the other hand, if we treat this trial as a silly diversion, we risk overlooking what it signifies about the underlying root rot of our political system as we teeter on the brink of dictatorship! ♪ we represent ♪ ♪ the lollipop guild! ♪

♪ the lollipop guild! ♪ ♪ the lollipop guild! ♪ and in the name of ♪ ♪ the lollipop guild! ♪ the defense rests. now, as motivation... [exhales] [deep voice] as motivation... for cohen's vindictiveness, the defense tried to show that cohen felt rejected by trump, including getting him to confirm that he had a hard time getting tickets to trump's 2017 inauguration. wow, that had to sting, because we all know there were plenty of seats available. [cheers and applause] ♪ we represent the lollipop guild ♪ before the trial this morning, trump spoke to reporters from the national echo reserve, complaining about the prosecution. >> this trial is a scam and it's a sham and it shouldn't happen.

>> stephen: coincidentally, scam and sham? also the secret service code names for eric and don jr. we also learned what the defense ordered for lunch today. 14 pizzas: four cheese, five pepperoni, four sausage and pepperoni, and one chicken, bacon, and ranch. no word yet on what trump's lawyers ordered. all week, trump has been getting support outside the court from his little congressional minions. today, we saw florida representative matt gaetz, seen here achieving maximum douche. gaetz summoned the specter of violence by tweeting a reference to the far-right hate group, the proud boys. "standing back and standing by, mr. president." well, of course he's standing back. after all that pizza, you do not want to be in the blast radius. trump also got moral support from congresswoman lauren boebert. that's right, lauren boebert was in the audience.

so whoever sat next to her may end up with their own hush money trial. this afternoon, things got a little dramatic. cohen had previously testified that after paying off stormy daniels, he called trump's bodyguard, and the prosecution had the phone records to back that up. but today, trump attorney todd blanche pointed out that the call was only one minute and 36 seconds. so, only slightly longer than the sex with stormy. blanche said... [applause] sex with stormy, sure. blanche said that that 1:36 wasn't enough time to have the discussion of paying off stormy. cohen said it was enough time but blanche raised his voice, saying to cohen, "that. was a lie!" while jabbing the pen in his right hand accusatorily at cohen. adding, "you can admit it!" cohen replied: "no, sir, i can't."

ooh, so close. that was kind of a weak way to try to get a confession. it'd be like a detective gathering everyone in the room at the end of a murder mystery and saying "and the murderer is... any volunteers? it would really help me out." anybody? do me a solid. confessions? trump's gotta get this trial over with. he's got a busy summer ahead. he's already agreed to debate joe biden twice. for months now, trump has been the aggressor, taunting biden to debate him. but yesterday, biden turned the taunting tables. >> donald trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then, he hasn't shown up for a debate. now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. well, make my day, pal. >> stephen: trump better watch out, man. because biden's a biter. his bones may be 81, but those teeth are in their teens, and joe, i am telling you, joe biden...

[growling] joe biden will gnaw trump's flesh like... who? >> the late, great hannibal lecter. >> stephen: thank you, sir. thank you. now, once the debates were set, trump's surrogates immediately attacked their legitimacy, like tech entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy, seen here watching two squirrels do it on a windowsill. ramaswamy immediately weighed in on twitter with his take. "call me cynical, but why is biden suddenly so willing to debate? it could be because he's desperate, or it could be because it's a set-up." oh, grow up. if biden really wanted to trap trump, he could just leave a trail of chicken nuggets to a cliff with a sign that says, "honey mustard below." [applause]

ramaswamy might be skeptical, but south carolina senator tim scott is feeling confident. >> america loves president trump because he's plain spoken, easy to understand, and he is clear as a bell. >> stephen: that part is actually true. when trump talks, it's as clear as a bell. >> bing, bong, bong, bing, bing, bing, bing.

googling me. and then she was like, screen shotting my face and sending it to a whatsapp group. i could see stuff happening in the group. i was like, this is so weird. she literally turned around me and went, "are you claudia jessie?" and i went "yeah." and then she went... >>tephen: no judgment, no praise. >> claudia: i'm not asking for her to be like -- you're my favorite! i wouldn't even mind if she was like, it's not for me. >> stephen: have ever said, no i'm not? someone said, are you claudia jessie? no, i'm not. i sometimes will say, i know, i get that a lot. >> claudia: if they are like, are you claudia jessie, i feel bad and i'll say yes. if they are like, has anyone ever told you you look like the girl from "bridgerton," i'll be

like no. >> stephen: claudia, thank you so much for being here. [cheers and applause] the first four episodes of "bridgerton" season 3 are on netflix now. claudia jessie, everybody. we'll be right back with a performance by norah jones.
