to talk to the bodyguard about "harassing calls from a 14-year-old." a former state prosecutor work in manhattan d.a.'s office joins us now camellia, forget everything, everything in this case until this moment. did the exchange with what he said on the stand, did they create the reasonable doubt necessary to equip? >> there were already so many different looks a jury could have found reasonable doubt, but yes, this was very affected. they already elicited history, perjury, status as a felon, deep-seated hatred of donald trump. all of that is very, very helpful stuff on cross-examination. but yes, a specific piece of evidence only piece of evidence that connects donald trump, the defendant to the met plan to stormy daniels. now you have tremendous doubt whether the content of the phone call is what michael cohen said it was initially. backed away, even michael cohen when said what i believe, that is what the

topic of the conversation was. i believe is not much to get beyond reasonable doubt. >> carley: so trump's played podcast clips on cohen i truly [bleep] hope this man ends up in prison. you better believe this man goes down for what he did to my family. if you are a juror, that is a memorable statement. >> we'll be highlighted in the defense nation. prosecutors have witnesses all the time with rap sheets and bad stuff in the background but usually they can rehabilitate the witness, look, just because these guys made these mistakes does not mean he has deep hatred for the person on trial. but the prosecution cannot make that because deep-seated hatred over and over and clips like that. >> todd: mended the cross-examination of michael cohen when will continue. that is a great move and lasting in the jurors mind pure and michael cohen when liar but the point has an end and it will ben the defense to put on a case or

not. some options are robert castella who contradicts exactly what cohen said, the bodyguard on the stand to go into the details of this. put trump on the stand, should the defense to any of it or just say, we are good to. >> there are certainly a lot of avenues to argue reasonable doubt based on the case. my expectation they will put on costello or one or two witnesses. by and large, yes, most of the summation will be dedicated not to presenting alternative version affects but to simply attack the prosecution and say, look at all of these areas that brings reasonable doubt. >> carley: the only thing cohen testified to trump a plan for stormy daniels payments. in order to get a felony, you have to have mislabeled payments to intent to commit a crime and he hasn't revealed what that crime would yet be. >> a tremendous amount of murkiness to the elevation a basis for elevating to a felony. speed to the court is not in

going to be a new era together, pledging a new era together and condemning the united states. this is the most dangerous rhetoric we have heard so far from these two countries and let's not forget that right now the united states is supplying weapons against russia. they have a great motivation to work with china against us. china has made it clear they want to be the world superpower and they want to come into the united states. they own a massive amount of farmland. they are building manufacturing plants in the united states, and joe biden made it easier for united nationals to come into the united states. when in history have you seen a grave threat to a country and yet, they leave the door to the country open. we don't leave the door to our shops open. we want to keep our shops say. we don't leave the door open to our house. how can we not condemn a presidency that allows people willy-nilly to come into the country and have no idea who they are when we have such a

voter that you know and talk to on a day in and day out basis that voted for clinton, biden but thinking of making the switch for tron. bring me inside of their mind and what are they telling you. >> number one as the economy. they see that as disastrous. it is making it harder for people to get by, groceries, gas pump, all of those things, which are very different just a few short years ago. the other factor is has been our schools are just in crisis, not just public schools, but honestly, we have seen this on the universities. and lastly, the crime issue has not gone away. it has been persistent and it is because of the leftist policies putting people in harm's way's when they wouldn't be otherwise with different leadership you're less, i will say this, todd, this border crisis is happening so much so that our northern border of minnesota with canada is even affected, record numbers of

acquisitions up there. >> todd: i would argue, each of those issues you just mentioned affects the young or than anything. a new fox poll and showing former president trump gaining traction with young voters under 30. just from getting down to brass tacks perspective, if joe biden does not dominate the youth vote like democrats expected historically to come is this race over at that point? >> absolutely, the young people don't show up, it is over. but here is the scenario that is even more so. black americans have been told for seven, eight years that donald trump is nothing short of the grand wizard of the kkk. and he is getting more support now than he had. you know, previously. a lot of people are waking up to the false narratives that are coming from democrats. >> todd: all joe biden wants to do is bribe with student loans and pot laws when all people, race, age, it doesn't matter, they want a

normal life within an economy that doesn't kill them. kendall calls, have fun tonight. it will be a big night and minnesota. while trump campaigning, kamala harris, did you hear this, planning for exit strategy. a new political p said vice president kamala harris has joked to friends that she may return to california to run for governor. democrats lose the white house this fall, taking a page from richard nixon. speed to a her spokesperson said that did not happen. this november the vice president will prepare to be inaugurated for the second term of the biden/harris administration. joe concha a fox news contributor and joins us now. the vp thinking plan b according to this report, what do you think about it? the public polling telling the biden people this could be a one-term presidency and vice presidency. look, she runs her office in california, and that is a great job for her because basically if you are a governor of california you can do whatever you want

your think about gavin newsom, right, the french laundry and pushing mass mandates and meanwhile at dinner with all of these people at a fancy restaurant in napa. remember the super bowl in los angeles, the los angeles rams, kids mast inside of the stadium but there he is partying with magic johnson without a mask. here's the bottom line, no one no one likes kamala harris, even in california because when she ran for president back in 2020, she dropped out in 2019 and she was polling sixth in california. she has the lowest polling vice president in history, lower than dick cheney, lower than dan quayle. use a potato and i say potato, todd. >> todd: if you factor your time in ag in california and all the potential candidates actually running or thinking of running in california, she is the foremost right candidate which is absolutely insane. it underscores the california. as kgb about this rumor

yesterday, here is what he said they'll make ekg. >> have you heard -- oh, no, vice president karis said she may run for governor of the election does not go her way. >> that is news to me. i would say this, the vice president has been a great partner to this president. he is appreciative of the work she has done. it is impressive what she has been able to do. >> todd: joe, you know how politicians use the media. is that a surprise or potentially a plan in place that people on the upper echelon know about that we are just learning about now? >> some people have good my fake laughs and some don't. ekg does not have a good first laugh, the first time i have heard of that. what is jean-pierre going to say but the vice president is

accomplished, can anybody here including the director's name one thing kamala harris has d done? they are shaking their heads. she was supposed to fix the border and causes of it it does to a crisis but the bottom line kamala harris doesn't have the best linkedin page as far as resume to run on for anything. so the interesting thing, she does run for california governor but rick stewart richard dixon did in 1972 and lost. the problem is he won the presidency 1968 so we can see a future kamala harris if she falls there follows the same path. >> carley: we want to talk about two people never in the same sentence but now they are. michael cohen is getting some words of encouragement from rosie o'donnell here they have been communicating through tex-mex dosage here in one text message exchange said monday before cohen took the stand rosie o'donnell writing this, breathe, relax, tell the truth. i love you and you are doing

those articles they will end up facing in their lives. but the nfl's response change.org, who ended up even over 170,000 signatures on this, it is actually minority because he's being treated like a criminal. he didn't do anything criminally wrong or criminally inappropriate because look at his teammate where she writes, "facing eight charges for a car accident he was responsible for. is anyone causing him to lose his position on the team? absolutely not. this is what happens. >> todd: this is what we think of the speech but listen to the media and what they say. >> controversial commencement speech, three-time super bowl champion, harris and butker railing everything from president biden to a pdf and speaking directly to the women in the audience. >> the nfl coming off of viewership and tailors with
