downtown to testify on the stand himself in his civil fraud trial 10:00 a.m. eastern awaiting that departure at trump tower. there is a possibility we'll hear from the president before he goes inside the courtroom. we'll cover that as it develops. first, however, democrats at each other's throats on israel. america's support for the war fracturing that party. hope your weekend was joyous. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." congratulations on the bengals. >> you have a lovely outfit on today. >> dana: compliments are out of the way. a growing number of democrats oppose president biden's support for the israeli war effort. you can see it in the polling. infighting is even spreading to the president's own re-election campaign. >> bill: also dividing the

democratic base. look at this scene in washington, d.c. on saturday. thousands of pro-palestinian protestors flooding the capital wanting the u.s. to pull funding out of israel. they vandalized the white house gates with blood red hand prints. we understand those prints are still there as of this morning, dana. >> dana: that progressive anger is bad news for the president's re-election effort. a new poll shows him losing to former president trump in five ahead of the six swing states. team fox coverage. trey yengst, alexis mcadams. and peter doocy at the white house, hi, peter. >> progressives are concerned that president biden cannot afford to lose key constituents which appears to be happening just because he is so strongly supporting israel's military operation. >> this is the first time that i have felt like the 2024 election

is in great trouble for the president. and for our democratic control. which is essential to moving forward because these young people muslim and arab americans but also young people see this conflict as a moral conflict and a moral crisis. and they are not going to be brought back to the table easily with -- if we do not address this. >> there are people working for the biden re-election campaign upset with the president's backing of israel. a high ranking dnc official who asked not to be identified told ox yosemite the president's the battle for the soul of the nation. it seems as though the administration is currently in a battle for its own soul. there were thousands of protestors over the weekend on pennsylvania avenue. they had this message for the president. >> so frankly we'll appalled by the administration's response. >> we need more support from our

politicians and president to stop the support for idf and israel support. >> in his younger days he said i'm a zionist. united nations declared it is a racist movement. when the president of the united states is -- >> president biden wasn't home. he was in delaware where he was very briefly talking about talking the israelis into a break in the fighting. >> mr. president, any progress of humanitarian pause? >> president biden: yes. >> president biden's day includes a bidenomics event in delaware before he jets back to the white house after a weekend at the beach. dana. >> dana: peter doocy. thanks. >> bill: harvard aloam and hedge fund manager bill actman, a lot of influence on money and policy on wall street calling for action against anti-semitism in an open letter to that university's president. he says the situation on campus is dire and getting worse.

alexis mcadams live in new york city for a follow-up now. what do you say, alexis? >> good morning. a pretty long letter he penned over to the president of harvard university. didn't mince words. he blamed harvard's president for the rise of anti-semitism on campus saying students should be suspended if they continue to take part in anti-semitic events. take a look here. this is a piece of that letter as we talked about from the hedge fund billionaire and harvard alumni. jewish students are being bullied, spat on and in several widely disseminated videos physically assaulted. message boards are replete with anti-semitism. he is not the only anumb neu speaking up. dozens sent a petition called the $1 pledge. they feel the university has lost its way here and has had an

inadequate response to the october 7th hamas attacks on israel saying we sign this pledge committing to donate $1 and no more to this university for the foreseeable future not in anger but sadness and hope. >> just last week that incident caught on camera at harvard. a jewish student was harassed by a group of pro-palestinian protestors there. the incident reported to the f.b.i. over the weekend. harvard's presidents released this statement saying harvard won't tolerate any activity that violates the safety of our community members. not just harvard. we have seen the incidents pop up across the country on different college campuses. flied at the university of massachusetts amherst tea was arrested after he spat on an israeli flag and punch a jewish student. that's when that went down. a lot of concern over that, too,

bill. >> bill: nice to see you here in new york city. thank you. >> dana: our next guest is a special one. he hears echoes of the past he says in the denial of the terror attack on israel. he is the son of a holocaust survivor. could we begin with a message from your father that we took from 1986 during his nobel peace prize speech. let's listen here. >> we must take sides for neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. silence encourages the torment or not the tormented. sometimes we must interfere. when human lives are in danger, when human dignity is in jeopardy. >> dana: that was 1986 and now you find yourself in -- you are in a leadership position to try to help us understand this

moment and to encourage people to do the right thing. >> thank you so much for having me on the show. i chose to write an op-ed in usa today last week bringing to light what my father had written about and encouraging students to ask critical questions about what my father related in the book the unbelievable terrors of the nazi regime inflicted upon the jewish people and to understand there were lies circulating on college campuses about the nature of what is happening in israel. i encourage that critical thinking. my father believed in students. he was an educator. i want them to study. for school districts that about been knight and say why did we do that? let's put that back into the curriculum. the messages are key. i want students to study not only my father's words in night i want them to study his actions. he stood by israel. he believed that israel was the

only guarantee against a second holocaust ever occurring and believed in peace for the palestinians in 2006 asking them to pursue the goal of piece. >> bill: night is the famous book he wrote. some of the questions you posed are this. when you chant that palestinian should be free from the river to the sea. what does that mean? you ask what happened after israel got out of gaza in 2005? what's the stated gol of hamas and others. why are these questions so important to answer now? >> the questions are important because facts matter. and you know, to go through life and simply take what you see in a tiktok video or instagram and say oh my god, people are suffering. israel has dropped bombs, therefore israel must be evil is such intellectual shorthand that students deserve better. they deserve better from their teachers and from themselves and

their parents and we're encouraging critical thinking to occur in university campuses. >> bill: you cannot get critical thinking by watching a 30-second clip. >> impossible. you have to read a book. that's why put "night". everybody needs to read and learn the history of the region. understand that israel, when it was founded in 1948, was ready to have a second palestinian state alongside it. understand that israel at many times throughout its life has offered the olive branch, offered peace and unfortunately arafat and then abbas turned down deals that would have had 95% of everything that palestinians were asking for. in 2005 when the decision was made to withdraw from gaza, the palestinians in gaza chose to give hamas a majority. they ran on an anti-israel platform to destroy israel and to destroy the josh people and when they did that hamas did a

cue and all of a sudden fired rockets for the next 20 years in israel. a lot of facts that need to be absorbed. >> dana: what was the stated reason that people gave for taking "night" off the shelves? >> i don't know. i understand that various school districts where parents have a strong voice decided it was a maturity question. were there students ready to read it? i realize there are many shocking things. terrors in there it is hard to read and stomach. unfortunately i think students need to realize it. it is happening right now. >> dana: rashida tlaib over the weekend said from the river to the sea she is saying it is benign. it just means that the palestinian people really struggle for free development that's it. trying to blow it off. can they get away with that? >> you can't blow it off that easily. to understand the nature of what has happened in israel and surrounding areas you have to understand if you look at all

the arab countries in the region and say look, israel has a 20% israeli/arab populations, you will find it's not the case. when the jews have been reduced to a term in islam and reduced to being second class citizens it was brutal for them. all jews had to flee. the concept of there not being a state of israel between the river to the sea, one where the jewish people can thrive and seek their own destiny is unfortunately we know what happens to the jewish people under those circumstances. >> bill: anti-semitism up 398% in the united states. that figure can't stand, to be fair and to be free, that number cannot exist. dana had the honor of meeting your father when she worked at the white house. i had the honor of meeting him in the old city of jerusalem at the holocaust memorial. a remarkable man. thank you for coming in here

today. >> thank you so much. pleasure to see you both. >> bill: good luck to you. we have this now on the docket. his sons eric and don junior testified last week. after watching from the sidelines the former president will be today's star witness and there he goes down the east river. taking the stand at his own civil fraud trial. the motorcade on the move and we watch it closely. more coming up in minutes. >> dana: plus a show of military force overseas. the pentagon revealing the position of a nuclear-powered submarine as the u.s. tries to avoid a broader conflict in the middle east. and this. >> bill: this was an active weekend in the gaza strip. the israeli military tightened its net around hamas ramping up the counter offensive. trey yengst is on the ground. general jack keane has military analysis. both are coming up next. >> after world war ii did

anybody ask us these questions? the united states dropped two atomic bombs on cities in japan to end the war. i think this is total war between israel and hamas. ♪ can't stop adding stuff to your cart? get the bank of america customized cash rewards card, choose the online shopping category and earn 3% cash back. ♪ with fastsigns, create custom graphics that get tails and tongues wagging. ♪ fastsigns. make your statement. i'm sarah escherich, i'm the life enrichment director at independence village, the senior living community in waukee, iowa. everybody here really, really make you feel like family and that they love you. our goal with tiktok was to enrich the lives of our residents and just to be able to show people what senior living can be like.

>> bill: it is 19 minutes past the hour. that right there are the doors where we'll see the former

president walk in in a matter of minutes. there is a good chance he could talk before he goes to court. he will be on the stand in a remarkable moment, a former president who will testify in his own defense. we're watching this. bring you updates. want to share it with you as we track it today. 20 past. >> dana: the israeli military completely surrounding gaza city. dividing the hamas-controlled territory in two. trey yengst is live in the southern part of israel with the latest. >> breaking news here as we speak sirens are sounding in northern israel. indication the lebanese militant group hezbollah is getting involved in the fight. along the southern front we're watching throughout the day israelis are using artillery units to support infantry troops inside the strip. i will step out of the frame and see the level of destruction in the northern part of gaza.

despite the fact israelis have been operating here for more than a week you can see the smoke rising up from air strikes conducted against different hamas positions despite the fact israeli military tells us they believe most of the 241 hostages are being held in the tunnels beneath the northern part of gaza, they are still hitting the tunnels trying to get as many hamas militants as possible. the video we captured along the border last night huge explosions lighting up the sky. israelis using bunker buster bombs trying to get to underground positions. it all comes after fox news was granted an inbed to get a firsthand look at the battles that are ongoing between the israelis and hamas. take a look. you can hear the gunfire in the distance. israelis are trying to engage anyone who tries to ambush their forces and the battle is street by street. it is urban guerilla warfare as

they are ambushing israeli troops. we're embedded inside the gaza strip. they've been ambushed and shot at and lost more than two dozen soldiers. bloody urban battle. guerilla fighters trying to kill as many israelis as they can popping out of tunnels. look at this video here. it was released by hamas from the same day in the same neighborhood. as we were embedded with the israelis they were engaging these militants. you can see by this video they are using rounds from rpgs specifically designed to penetrate armor. even having apcs and heavy equipment the israeli forces aren't safe as they push deeper into the gaza strip.

the jordanians dropped aid into gaza could order naivetyed with israel trying to get support to palestinians inside the gaza strip. all of this taking place as just seconds ago we got another development out of jerusalem. dana. we have learned that a border police officer who was stabbed this morning in jerusalem during a terror attack has died. another front opening up not only in the north, the south, but also in the city of jerusalem, an attack this morning. >> dana: thank you for all of the updates, breaking news. stay safe. >> bill: let's bring in general jack keane now. good morning. thank you for your time. a lot to cover here and try to get inasmuch as we can. want to show you video evidence that israeli defense forces made public. this was made public on sunday. they believe what it shows, general, is hough this tunnel right there on the ground circled in red leads underneath a hospital. what they're up against when it comes to civilian targets. i want you to comment on that

and i want you to tell me in your view does hamas think they are doing well in this battle right now? and do you think they are doing well thus far? or are they on the brink of elimination? >> well first of all there is no doubt they weaponize civilian structures, hospitals, schools, mosques to shield themselves from israeli attacks. they have done this from their inception and their sophistication has likely increased with 300 miles estimated of tunnels that are underneath these facilities. when you look at hamas and where they think they are, a couple of things. they will use the hostages, one to get a cease-fire and two, to get all the israelis out of gaza. they want to fight again and they are using the hostages certainly to protect the lives of their leadership and use them also to protect a lot of their infrastructure. remains to be seen what will happen as a result of those

negotiations. that's likely their aims. when they conducted the attack they focused on civilians, bill. the reason, they wanted to undermine the people's confidence in their leadership and ability to protect them. they accomplished that. number two they wanted a violent response. this is sinister and diabolical to think this way but this is the way they think. they wanted the casualties that we are seeing taking place now because of the israeli response despite their attempt to protect civilian casualties, hamas has held in place hundreds of thousands of people refusing to permit them to go because they want them to become casualties. and why? you can see it. they want widespread international condemnation of israel. and that is taking place. it has exceeded anything we've seen in the past. they also want israel to be isolated geo politically and weakened on the world stage.

remains to be seen whether that takes place or not. they want to stop the normallyization of relationships with the arabs and israelis. that will be delayed but hopefully it will not end. i think they want to form a political collapse inside of israel with the government because of a loss of confidence of what took place and also how the entire international community is beginning to isolate them. those are some of the strategic goals i think hamas is attempting to achieve. they have obviously achieved some of them. they did not do this operation so the israelis could come in and exterminate them. they will do everything they can to prevent that from happening because hamas always wants to reattack again. they are use those hostages, i think, as a guarantor that will likely happen. there is a lot to take place in front of us. it will take months to work through those tunnel complexes,

i believe, to get to a point where you are even close to taking -- dismantling this organization. at that time they will likely play the hostage card. >> bill: let me try to squeeze in a few morehead lines. trey yengst says most of the hostages are still in the same central area in gaza city. that may or may not be the case. that's what the israelis believe at the moment. a u.s. guided missile submarine now moving toward the eastern mediterranean. rare where weather we make that information public. antony blinken was in baghdad, iraq, west bank meeting with palestinian leadership, turkey trying to calm the waters on behalf of erdogan in istanbul. is this effective in containing this conflict today? >> it appears so far yes.

we listened to the head of the hezbollah in lebanon and certainly he was threatening the use of more force but hasn't pulled that trigger. i think there was a certain reluctance for them to do that because of the economic situation and the impoverishment among his own people and with the might of the united states out there being very physically displayed, if israel wants that to help them, if he unleashes his 130,000 missiles on israel and they need u.s. fire power, they will get u.s. fire power. and this submarine that you are talking about is different. we only have four of them. ssgns. used to be nuclear ballistic missile carrying submarines and converted the four so they could carry tomahawk submarine, took the nuclear ballistic missiles out of them. very, very powerful instrument of war, to be frank about it.

no other country in the world has anything like what is sitting out there and why we're advertising it. >> bill: thank you. jack keane. we'll speak throughout the week. thank you, sir. >> dana: get you back to lower manhattan where we're waiting to see if we'll hear from former president trump before he takes the stand in his civil fraud trial. he is in the courthouse now. we wait for that. plus this. [shouting] >> dana: palestinians outside of the white house as the democratic divide deepens. >> there is a large part of the democratic base that is struggling to come around to continue to support president biden.

outside of the courtroom before he goes in. we're on stand by for that. those microphones right there on screen right is for the new york attorney general leticia james. she has been in the courtroom every day of the trial. unusual for her. she will be there and we're told she might give remarks. >> bill: her comments during the campaign she would get trump. america's backing of israel dividing democrats. democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib accusing president biden of supporting genocide. chat pergram has the fallout live on the hill as we begin another week there. chad, hello. >> good morning. this fracture is real. a lot of criticism being directed at rashida tlaib. the democratic representative from michigan. sent a tweet over the weekend used the phrase from the river to the sea. that is offensive to jews. >> bill: here is the attorney general in new york.

>> misrepresented and inflated the value of his assets and before he takes the stand, i am certain that he will engage in name calling and taunts and race baiting and call this a witch hunt. but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the facts and the numbers and numbers, my friends, don't lie. thank you. >> bill: that was brief and short. if you have followed the history of letitia james. when she was running to be the a.g. she was on the microphone numerous times saying she would get trump and the basis for her campaign. she said democrats in new york were tired of him and have the justice she felt he deserved. it was a part of her campaign as

she heads into the courtroom today to meet her moment. she will have him on the stand in minutes. >> dana: she will be in the courtroom and been there every day. as i mentioned before she came to the microphone it is unusual. often you'll have your office that you can delegate to, right? so i could say bill, you will handle this case for me, charlie do this one for me. she has been there every single day and led some to say she is being very political here but also put her name on the line and trying to see if she can bring this to fruition. ivanka trump will testify on wednesday. apparently reports are president trump is very frustrated his children have been brought into this. eric and donald trump junior testified last week. >> bill: with the poll came out donald trump beating joe biden in numerous battleground states. 5 of 6. like a five alarm fire for democrats, too. they had the headline blasting

all day yesterday and again this morning on a lot of cable news channels. this testimony will be an unprecedented moment in u.s. history. you will have a former president and current white house candidate defending himself on trial and as some would say, in the shadow of a host of other legal troubles. that's how it is written in the hill clearly. >> dana: we'll continue to watch this to see if president trump makes remarks. new polling numbers as bill was mentioning prompting panic among democrats show biden trailing president trump in five out of the six swing states. let's bring in our panel. marie, it wasn't myself or anyone else here that called it a five alarm fire. this is what democrats were saying over the weekend. the campaign advisor david axelrod for president obama said biden would be best to step aside. i think you will argue biden is

in fine shape but is there at least some recognition that the campaign or the position biden is in right now is either untenable or unacceptable for democrats who say they just want to beat president trump if he is the nominee next year? >> well first i'm old enough to remember when david axelrod and i worked on obama's campaign. i joined it a year out from election day. almost identical polls showing obama to mitt romney. i don't think it's a five alarm fire for democrats. there is a lot of precedent. once an incumbent gets on the campaign trail the numbers go up. i do think the democrats should take it seriously and a wake-up call. so far i have haven't seen the biden campaign out there making the case for why he should get

another four years as aggressively as i would like to see. he has a lot of accomplishments to run on. his opponent is in court today. one of many court cases and legal cases he is a party to. i think it's concerning but i'm not panicking. >> dana: headlines over the weekend mary kathryn, "new york times" joe biden is in trouble. "wall street journal." "new york magazine" do democrats understand how bad the election is looking? marie makes the point to barack obama's numbers at this point weren't great. is joe biden a barack obama? one of the issues in the poll is over 70% of the people polled say joe biden is too old to run for president a second time. there is really nothing joe biden can do about his age. >> right. i think he is starting from a handicap in that sense. this is all a balancing act when you run a presidential campaign. one of the issues i see that's a real challenge for democrats is

that key parts of their coalition that they can rely on in huge numbers, not just small numbers, black and hispanic and young people are not looking good at all. they are looking quite negative. shingle digit leads for biden among hispanic voters, 20% saying they would vote for trump among black voters. that's an alarm right there. i would look at the poll and say it's an outlier. i looked back on polls and the stats are in september there is consistent erosion among black and hispanic voters for biden. down to 53% in september and keeps going down. keeping those parts of the coalition together tough particularly when you have the fight over the war in the middle east that is frack touring the coalition in some ways and biden is about saying he believes stand behind israel the more pushback you will get from certain elements of the party.

holding it together becomes very difficult. >> dana: seven seconds, protestor at the pro-palestinian rally in d.c. watch. >> genocide joe needs to halt his actions immediately and realize he is going the face massive opposition from democrat voters next election. >> dana: i don't have much time, marie. the poll was taken before the protests over the weekend. can president biden sustain that? >> yes, i think he can. first of all a year is a very long time. when these voters are faced with a choice between donald trump and some of the positions he has taken and joe biden, i think that they will come home. the biden team has to make that case. they have to get out there particularly in states like michigan with large arab american populations he needs to win again. i think they can do the work. >> dana: we shall see. voters are not in a mood for biden's re-election or maybe even for either of these two if

they become the nominees. marie kathryn and marie, thank you. >> common denominators i have heard throughout this trip is the imperative of american engagement. american leadership. >> bill: how the white house is responding on that coming up here. plus several states vote tomorrow and a lot of attention and eyes on the state of virginia in the commonwealth there. issues on the line, 24 hours away now on a referendum on issues like education and abortion and the outcome could be felt nationwide. >> i'm excited about the fact that people are encouraged by what is happening in virginia where common sense policies really are working. one hit mak. -thanks for swinging by, carl. -no problem. so what are all those for? uh, this lets me adjust the base, add more guitar, maybe some drums. -wow. so many choices. -yeah. like schwab.

provided any credible deterrence. the u.s. responses with attacks on unmanned facilities in syria has only escalated the attacks by iran-backed militias. it is not having the impact they want. now that you really what you see is secretary blinken and c.i.a. director burns spending time in the middle east trying to build coalition or support for a situation that the biden administration's policies contributed to in the first place. i think that's a real challenge as they try to thread the needle between supporting israel's right to defend itself versus arab countries across the board some of whom are allies calling for a cease-fire and they have put themselves in a boxed canyon that they haven't provided a good way to get out of. >> bill: sir, the truth is israel is surrounded. here is a tweet from 2015 from the ayatollah in iran.

if you read it carefully now and in the yellow he says first you will not see next 25 years god willing there will be nothing a zionist regime. secondly until then jihadi morale will leave no moment of serenity for the zionists. you have hezbollah in lebanon, you have hamas in the gaza strip, you have an increasing presence of fatah or islamic jihad and hamas in the west bank. that's all three sides. if you pull out to the region it is not just here but back here in iran, there are threats out of syria, and even yemen is getting involved in this. you can see there how the israelis believe this conflict, if they do not succeed, all of this is a threat to their existence. >> right. so, bill, the desires of hezbollah and iran and islamist

radicals has never changed. what needs to constant is the ability to deter them and that's what has changed in the biden administration. there was credible deterrents during the trump administration years that left iran poorer, weaker and less able to participate, direct, fund and approve the kind of actions that are taking place against israel right now. and the biggest failure here, bill, was the biden administration's failure to listen to intelligence. we told them look, this is what our intelligence tells us the results of our maximum pressure campaign will be and reversal of that will reverse iran's fortunes and their ability to fund this kind of activity. they ignored the intelligence and that's why you are seeing what you are seeing. >> bill: want to read this from o'grady in the "wall street journal." the high cost of declining american power in the world is being felt in the middle east and ukraine. it doesn't stop there.

iran is moving into the western hemisphere with no pushback from washington. the latest trouble comes on the u.s.'s american neighbor, mexico. that's kind of a threat to us or a warning, i should say, sir. >> well, bill, i was in the rose garden as director of national intelligence in july of 2020 when mexico's president was thanking president trump in the rose garden talking about the usmca and where he was paying for a wall to prevent illegal migration into the country. he had 28,000 mexican troops on their southern border stopping migration from coming north. look at what's changed? 180 degrees. now he is as the "wall street journal" said, giving the biden administration the middle finger. having a migration summit with dictators who are pro-tehran, pro-iranian, and you see this is

the ripple effect. mexico should be concerned with the united states. we are their largest trading partner but yet you have this bad behavior and you have to ask why. the only conclusion you can come to is because they are not worried. bad behavior has been rewarded, not punished, in the biden administration. iran has been rewarded for bad behavior and our own allies like saudi arabia and mexico moving towards iran, towards china, towards our adversaries and -- but that is exactly what's happening. find a place on the globe, bill, where relations and u.s. national security posture and interests have gotten better. china, russia, iran are acting worse, not better than they were three years ago. our relationships with allies have gotten, like mexico, saudi arabia and india, have gotten worse, not better in the last three years. >> bill: thank you for your time. i have a lot going on today.

thanks, we'll speak again. >> great to see you. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: we said we would bring you president trump. here he is. >> israel is being attacked, while inflation is eating our country alive, i'm down here attack ads by the biden administration, the poll numbers are terrible. you saw what happened today. "the new york times" and cbs came out with a poll im leading all over the place. this is election interference is all it is. this trial is ridiculous. the numbers are much greater than on the financial statement and we've proven that. they said mar-a-lago is $18 million but it is worth 50 to 100 times more than that. it's a terrible, terrible thing. these political operatives that i will be dealing with right now, you have a racist attorney

general who made some terrible statements and you see some that came over the wires today. it's a very sad situation for our country. this is third world countries. very unfair. but in the meantime the people of this country understand it and see it and they don't like it. they don't like it because it's political warfare as you would call it or political warfare another name. i have a lot of names for it. it takes place in third world countries and banana republics. nobody has seen it to this extent, we've never seen it here. we'll go along and we'll hopefully do very well in every regard and win the election and make america great again. that's what we are going to do. make america great again. we have to take away from the thugs we deal with and the horrible people that must hate our country to do this. but we will fight very hard for our country. thank you very much, everybody.

>> dana: there you have it. president trump gave some brief remarks. didn't take questions. he has entertained a few in the past. given the fact he will be taking the stand i'm sure his lawyers and he himself wants to concentrate. he will get through today. he did call it a political attack, warfare or law fare but wraps it around and brought up the point to president biden's poll number is terrible from "the new york times" poll and other polls. he said we'll win the election and make america great again and said this usually only happens in third world countries. >> bill: the judge in this case has already rendered his verdict, right? he has already found him guilty in this case and we'll see what the president has to say on the stand. keep in mind he is under oath and he is calling this a very unfair situation as you point out. the a.g. calls it racist. he has said that repeatedly. we're about to find out how he

does on the stand and how he characterizes his real estate properties. mentioned mar-a-lago. the real estate property in palm beach has gone through the roof over the past five years so as we wait on that let's get to nate foye outside the courthouse today. it will be a fascinating day. let's see what's going on. we're on the air live now. good morning to you. >> bill, yeah, good morning. former president donald trump is here right now set to take the stand any moment to defend his business empire that new york attorney general letitia james claim was at least partially built on fraudulently valued properties. they deny any wrongdoing. mentioning some of the truth socials that former president trump has put out this morning. he again characterizes this as election interference and claims he has done nothing wrong and posted moments aggregateing

ready to head to the downtown lower manhattan courthouse in one of many cases instigated by political opponent crooked joe biden through agencies and surrogates for purposes of election interference. trump has voluntarily attended multiple days of this trial as a defendant but this will be his first time actually taking the stand other than a brief moment when he took the stand in relation to a partial gag order after he made comments that the judge found were about his law clerk and that's been something that not only former president trump has dealt with but also his lawyers as the judge expanded that partial gag order to include lawyers to prevent any comments related to members of his staff. the former president maintains that his properties are actually more valuable than were listed in financial statements at the trump organization and last week, of course, don junior and eric testified. both said that they signed

statements of financial condition at the trump organization but they didn't prepare those statements themselves. don junior said he relied on accountants to do the accounting and then president trump's daughter ivanka is set to be the final witness. a state court denied her request to avoid taking the stand. she is set to testify on wednesday. after she is done testifying, the state will test its case and then former president trump's lawyers will call their own witnesses and present their defense. attorney general letitia james said donald trump might lie but the facts and the numbers don't. james also spoke on her way into the courtroom saying she anticipates former president trump to continue name calling and what she views as race baiting. but again saying that the numbers and the facts don't lie in this case. former president trump says that

this entire thing is election interference and that he is being politically persecuted. the attorney general ran and campaigned on going after him and that's what we are seeing play out in this courtroom. the former president will be free to speak to the media when he is done testifying today and leaves the courthouse. his testimony is expected to wrap up today. he has been outspoken throughout the case. it is different now that he is on the stand rather than sitting at the defense table. we'll see what the president says after his testimony concludes. >> dana: this is a civil case. he has been found liable, i understand. we're waiting to now see from this inside the courtroom what happens. i'm curious if you can tell us in the minute we have left how do you get information from the courtroom today to get to the viewers? what's the process since cameras aren't in there? >> so we have a reporter who is in there and tracking every

single question that the state will ask former president trump and then she is transcribing his answers and lets me know essentially point by point exactly what is happening on the witness stand. that has been how we've done things throughout this entire trial including last week when don junior and eric were testifying. so again i wouldn't expect former president trump to speak to the media, perhaps during the lunch break or the morning session. will wrap up in early afternoon and resume at 2:15. i wouldn't expect comments in the middle of the day but perhaps after he is done testifying i would expect to hear from the former president himself. >> dana: we have a few shots inside the courtroom. they allow everybody to get a scene setter on video. that's been consistent every day. there you see president trump. history making, bill, as you said. >>
