you are watching velshi and i am charles coleman jr. in for ali. weighs in on the electoral process and settled questions and issues like voting rights and gerrymandering but it's exceedingly rare for them to be directly involved in settling a specific contest. but that's what happened back in 2000 when the supreme court waded into the bush v gore recount controversy. remember that? and at best, hanging chads, triggered a mechanical error at worst, republicans sincally exploited it to oppose a manual recount of florida's votes. but throughout the dispute, there was never any doubt that both sides were going to accept the ultimate outcome and ensure that our democracy would remain intact. today, as supreme court wades into the presidential election, once again, circumstances are very different. now, the court is controlled by a 6 seat conservative super majority half of whom appointed by one of the two candidates donald trump, and a man who stands accused of trying to steal the last election, and who-sighted a violent mob to storm the capitol three

the charles coleman podcast. let me start things off with you, if i can. what do we know about the possibility of a ruling tomorrow? >> yes, the supreme court, they just indicated on their website that they could have rulings tomorrow. it's a very last-minute announcement. usually they announce it ahead of time. there are many reasons to think that it could be the colorado case about what the the ex president trump will be kicked off the primary ballot there. one of the big reasons for that is that the primary is actually been held on tuesday. obviously, there's a reason why the court would get that ruling out. it's also an expedited case that they just heard last month, there's a lot of public interest in it, of course. there is a lot of reasons why they'd want to get that ruling out quickly. although, it did seem like, based on the oral arguments, the court is not going to kick ex president trump off the ballot. but, even so, there are reasons why they want to get that ruling out before people start going to th

struck -- >>> good morning, it is sunday, march 10th and i am charles coleman junior. we just experienced the most funny week of the election season so far and it became crystal clear, surprise, surprise -- joe biden and donald trump are headed for a rematch. long before they cross paths both on the road. yesterday in a sneak peek of what store the two candidates have competing candidates. sticking to the script of his state of the union address president biden emphasize the difference between his mystic view of america versus donald trump. down for an interview yesterday. >> shouldn't have used illegal. it is undocumented. and one of the things i talked about order was the way he talks about these people and it turns out when i'm not going to do. i will not treat any of these people would disrespect. they build the country and they are the reason our economy is growing. we need to repair the border. >> your great using that word. >> they built the country and language matters. while barton cashman -- has nearly completed an extreme takeover of the gop. members install

coleman. charles, hold on a second on that last quote that i read there. i want you to explain it to us in laymen's terms, but first, dasha, what is the trump team saying about posting bond? are they looking at other options or might they just sit back and say, fine, try to seize my assets? >> reporter: well, the former president is not happy about this. he's frustrated, and clearly concerned, and i'm not saying that as a mind reader of his. i'm saying that because he has been putting all of this out directly himself on social media posting about this, katy, relentlessly, saying this is unfair. that this is a witch hunt. he might have to sell off his quote, great assets at a fire sale, and that this is unprecedented, right? well letitia james is saying no, it's not, you better pay up one way or another. this is a problem not only financially, but also politically. we have talked about this time and again, katy, how he has built his brand both personally and politically as a wealthy man, as a b

. >> tony finau is charles coleman, former brooklyn, new york prosecutor and civil rights attorney, msnbc analyst and host a podcast and a really good friend. let's start with a warning from fani willis. it comes as donald trump is only focused on the next 24 hours. what do you make of her statement and the timing of it? >> she is doing her job. when you are prosecutor, there are certain number of prosecutorial initiatives. essentially keeping your foot on the gas. even though donald trump may have been feeling really for the skating opinion released by the judge after this hearing regarding the comfort of interest or potential comfort of interest. she is letting him know, we have been working and are ready to pick up exactly where we left off and move forward with the case. she is doing her job. she is keeping her foot on the gas. there is a certain level of public reception she is managing. she is also an elected official . she does not necessary want to walk out with her tail tucked. she wants to appear strong and in control. that is ethically what she is doing with her comments. spatu

thank you for watching another edition of velshi on msnb c i am charles coleman jr. if yo want me watch where i i am right here as legal analyst and charles coleman podcast. ali will be back and velshi airs saturday and sunday morning from 10:00 a.m. and noon thanks for making shy job easier today. stay right where you are because inside jen psaki begins right now. e inside jen psaki b right now. in if you thought we learned a lot about the general election. lot about the general election. >>> a way to we show you everything that happened this weekend. joe biden and donald trump helped dueling rallies in georgia last night and offered drastically different visions for the country. i will let you guess which event and happened in. a close biden ally and a chair of the governor association. i'm going to get his reaction all of it. >>> on friday, donald trump hosted a $91 million bond. it sure seems like he defamed her again. i will ask if trumps tab could be going up. also today, state of the union was really something. she was back on the air this morning. shows his r

also with us, msnbc's legal analyst, charles coleman, and carol lam, a former federal prosecutor.have new reporting about donald trump's growing frustration with this issue. >> that's right, jose, my sources within the campaign and donald trump's greater sources at mar-a-lago say there is growing frustration and concern that this bond issue hasn't been solved yet, and it's not entirely clear how it will be. there simply isn't the money available to the billionaire developer to put up this bond in cash. a source that says trump allies have been calling around trying to see if perhaps some of his larger donors might guarantee the bond in some way, but they really haven't landed upon a solution yet, and the clock is ticking. one of trump's attorneys, alina habba was asked about perhaps some more exotic solutions that could be on the table on fox news yesterday. here's what she had to say. >> is there any effort on the part of your team to secure this money through another country, saudi arabia or russia as joy behar seems to think? >> well, there's rules and regulations that are publ

also back with me charles coleman and caroline polisi.re getting updates from our team inside the courthouse right now. what i'm seeing is todd blanche, donald trump's attorney, is trying to argue these sdny documents with testimony from michael cohen, there's so many of them that they're going to need an extended delay on this. according to laura jarrett who is inside that courtroom, judge merchan is basically saying i don't think so. >> reporter: right. is skeptical. merchan, the judge, is questioning donald trump's attorney, todd blanche, on just how many documents they have received from the sdny federal prosecutors that they deem relevant enough to they need to go through. judge merchan said, is that 2,000, 20,000? we're talking about 200,000 pages of material. the prosecutors for district attorney alvin bragg say just 300 of the 200,000 payables are actually relevant to today's hearing in terms of michael cohen as a witness in the alleged hush money payment scheme. but what the attorneys for donald trump are contending is that they

coleman., danny, lay out what happened. >> in the gag order, we're talking about judge merchan issued a gag order that really left kind of a carve out for criticism of himself. and a lot of folks are calling that kind of a loophole, but, to me, i think judge merchan did that on purpose, understanding that he is the judge, he may be more subjected to criticism and it may be okay. so, i don't know that it was exactly a loophole. i think judge merchan expected donald trump was going to criticize him, maybe not go after his daughter. i want to say a thing about that, if i had a client and i learned the judge's daughter, and none of this was true, but if that were the case, that might be something you would want to raise to the judge. but, the way to do that is pick up your phone, call your lawyer, say, hey, lawyer, this is what i saw on social media, let the lawyer make a motion and deal with it through the proper channels, not on social media. >> explain what donald trump was saying online that w

coleman. charles, can we start with this reporting, learning that trumps legal bills, he spent 100 million bucks, most of it donor dollars. i am guessing there have to be at least some people who wrote checks who are not happy that those checks are out there paying his lawyers. >> i would imagine so. >> can they fight this? >> they can try, but this is more of a political problem than a legal problem. what i mean by that is he has apparently followed the guidelines about what he can spend money on, it's the fact that the people who decided to donate to his campaign have been suckered, and they are now understanding that donald trump never intended to have a save the election or protect the election pack, he never intended to do the things that he was saying he was going to do as a candidate. he was speaking primarily as a defendant, but here's something to take about. regardless of how much money donald trump is spending on lawyers, if thomas somehow, he makes it back to 1600 penn, it was more

for more let's bring in former new york prosecutor charles coleman. is trump basically relying on the appeals court to overturn this and if they do not, then what? >> he is ruling on the appeals court but he has to get there first and what i mean is, even as he is trying to appeal the decision the judgment is a separate matter. he will have to deal with the serious issue around the bond and it does not appear he has the hard cash or can satisfy the bond with any other assets that is necessary to state that off, he has finally reached a point in the program where we have to come back to reality and stop playing in fantasyland. you had a guarantor in the eiji carol case, somebody that ponied up tens of millions to stave off the payment for the appeal there. you cannot find half of $1 billion to do that in this case. he is trying to make a last ditch appeal to the judge to make a different decision than the original decision he made when he made the decision itself. you are the judge that presided over the trial and you are the judge that entered the jud

let's bring in prosecutor and civil rights attorney, charles coleman.ng on the appeals court to overturn this and if they don't, then what? >> he is relying on that but he has to get there first and what i mean by that, even as he is trying to appeal, the judgment is separate. he is still going to have to deal with this serious issue around the bond or round having the cash. it doesn't appear that he has the cash or can satisfy the bond with any other assets that will be necessary to stave that off. he has finally reached a point where we have to come back to reality and stop playing and fantasyland. there was a guarantor for the e. jean carroll case. they ponied up millions of dollars to stave off the appeal or payment for the appeal. you cannot find what will amount to nearly half $1 billion in this case to do that. he is now trying to make an appeal to make a different decision than the original decision when he entered it himself. as you can imagine, you are the judge that presided over the trial and the judge that made the findings in the judge tha

. >> join me now is charles coleman, former brooklyn prosecutor n.l. civil rights attorney, msnbc analyst and a good friend to us. here is a look at who is protected under the order. it is clear whether the judge excluded- rather, is it clear the judge excluded himself and his family and what can judge merchan do to rain trump in and keep the trial on track? >> it is important to understand who donald trump is at its core. the reason i say that is that it does not matter necessary who the order protects. donald trump is a bully and the worst kind of bully because he has no problem putting other people up to do his dirty work. that is what you saw michael cohen talk about when he spoke to are calling joy reid. in terms of speaking to to his supporters and expecting they will apply the pressure to the appropriate individuals to make his life easier. while the conduit -- contents of the gag order do not allow donald trump to do what he has with critiquing the judge's daughter, it is not something that will stop it one way or other because of the type of b

. >> joining me now is charles coleman, civil rights attorney and writer for slate. also with me is former missouri senator claire mccaskill. i have a hard time looking at the 2007 collapse and not comparing it to the 2024 baltimore bridge collapse. do you see a parallel here? >> of a course. we have slowly but surely allowed these false equivalencies to come into our national c dialogue and conversation around politics such that go woke, go broke, the culture wars. all these things have been a steady push back, and they've gotten us to this place because we've allowed it, and we haven't called it out. in the interest of trying to be fair, in the t of trying to include all voices, the reality, alex, there are some voices at this table who are speaking who do not deserve to be heard and what they're talking about is not ideology. it denigrates people's humanity and something that keeps the two tiered system of what america is in place and that structure undamage. that's why we've gotten to this place where someone is saying, hey, we needis to help these people. and yo

coleman. vaughn, this money stuff, you and i have been talking about it. clearly it's a major problem. bring us up to speed. >> right. this is an issue here. well, you're looking at him campaigns in ohio over the weekend. of course the state of arizona continues to be a focus point for their political operation. donald trump and his family and the family business is wholly focused on the fact that they have got to somehow come up over the next seven days with $450 million. even whether it be in cash or whether it be in the form of an appeal bond, but what this motion here from donald trump's lawyer this morning, to the appellate court in new york seeks to do is put a stay on him having to execute on paying and putting forward that appeal bond for the damages. the difficult reality is that donald trump is having to come to terms with the fact that they have gone to surety bond companies, seeking help, and according to donald trump's lawyer, none of them have been able to come through. coming up

. >> seating a jury, i was on with charles coleman a little bit earlier.id it could take two weeks to seat a jury. what are going to be the issues with trying to get a jury in this case, and are they going to be different than getting a jury for the e. jean carroll case. >> i think they will be similar but a little bit different. obviously he's being accused of a crime here, and so that raises the stakes substantially. it also changes the composition of the jury in terms of how many jurors are needed here as opposed to in a civil case. most importantly it's going to be very hotly contested, who can serve on this jury and sort of what the prerequisites are and how you exclude people. one of the things two sides will fight over is what is your media diet and how specific do people have to be about that, and they're fighting over, well, can you ask someone if they watch msnbc and if you do, will you ask them if they watch fox, and what is the equivalent of various media outlets. they really want to try and take out of the equation, anybody who is perceived as

let's bring in katie phang, charles coleman and dave aronberg. katie phang, your take-aways?of us predicted there was no actual conflict of interest, because based on the law, the evidence that was submitted during the course of this hearing made it clear that didn't exist. the question of what legal standard judge mcafee was going to apply was the biggest question that got answered. he kind of did a hybrid. he said no actual conflict, however, the appearance of a conflict is found here. it's a little bit of a solomon's choice. do you keep fani willis or nathan wade? i think it's a no-brainer. you get rid of nathan wade. remember nathan wade's role in there. he started before the special grand jury was even put together. he kind of spearheaded this investigation. he took this investigation, fed it into the special purpose grand jury, got those results. you have to think about the historical knowledge nathan wade has. all of that being said, if the solution here is to move forward with d.a. fani willis and the rest of her team, including the other skilled and incredibly compet
