of ethiopia, set a new course record of finishing the 26.2 miles in just under two hours, and five minutes. that is so darn fast. the women's champion is -- helen o barry. she completed the race in around two hours and 27 minutes, a mere five minutes off the woman's record. if i could tell you these women, when i saw them passed my house, they were tracking. it was so incredible! i mean, we are talking about seven, six mile maybe 5:30, imagine going that fast for 26.2 miles. congrats to all of you, you deserve it. you are probably feeling horrible, but amazing. and it is such an impressive achievement. that wraps it up for me, i'm, sukhodolov aachen the chair and excited and sunday two pm eastern, and my colleague simone kicks it off right now. >> t off right now. >> greetings everyone, you are
1:01 pm
watching symone. palestinians must not be forcibly displaced. that message from anthony blinken, during a surprise trip to the west bank, as he wraps up another round of diplomatic meetings, on the israel-hamas war. and here, the united states how officials will make sure that hatred from this war overseas does not spread across america. even as protests and tensions on college campuses increase. the head of the white house foreign policy council is here, and we're going to discuss the plan. in less than 24 hours, folks donald trump will be the first former united states president to testify in his own defense. and the former presidents campaign team tells nbc news they are, quote unquote, ready to take advantage of all the attention the comes along with it. we will discuss, what we should expect from this historic moment. and, this all comes as we are exactly one year out from election day. one year today. we are checking the pulse of the biden harris campaign. where is their focus with 365
1:02 pm
days until the voters head to the ballot box? i am symone sanders-townsend, and i have something to say. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ good afternoon, it is four pm eastern time in washington d.c.. and ten pm in israel and gaza. u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken is conducting an extended, and intensive round of diplomacy in the middle east. and this is in the midst of ongoing deadly and destructive fighting in gaza. today, blinken made a surprise visit to the occupied west bank, where he met with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas. state department spokespe matthew miller said the secretary reaffirmed the that es's commitment to the delivery of life saving hunitarian assistance. and, resumption of a central services in gaza. and made clear that
1:03 pm
palestinians must not be forcibly displaced. and, secretary of state blinken reiterated that the united states remains committed to advancing equal measures of dignity and security, for palestinians and israelis alike. a spokesperson for president abbas said the palestinian authority leader demanded an immediate cease fire. this is something that both israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and secretary of state blinken have ruled out. but in an unannounced visit to -- just hours later, the secretary reiterated his call for a humanitarian pause, in the bombing to allow for humanitarian aid. >> it's important that as we are engaged in pursuing humanitarian pause, this can be something that advances the prospect of getting the hostages back. it can also advance other things, that we are committed to doing, as is the government of israel and other parts of the region. especially getting more humanitarian systems into the people who need in gaza. >> -- meanwhile, devastating images continue to pour out of
1:04 pm
northern gaza. right now, you are looking at the aftermath of an israeli airstrike on the -- refugee camp earlier this morning. palestinian officials say 47 people were killed. it was the third strike on a refugee camp in less than a week. today, the israeli defense force spokesperson said its soldiers have struck more than 50 hamas targets, including underground infrastructure, and have eliminated hamas terrorists in close contact. that -- is to just hours, ago the deputy prime observer for the state of palestine at the nine nations -- he had this to, say about the fighting in gaza. >> this is an entire palestinian generation, that is under the bombs and -- the whole world is watching. why are they determined to prove us wrong, to demonstrate there is no peaceful. like what then is the alternative? with you killing each other for -- when. so it is time to say, enough is enough. that is not the way.
1:05 pm
this can be done by, political tools. this can be done by showing them peace is possible. this is how you convince people that there is another way that is possible. >> but the effects of war stretch beyond the range of airstrikes, and this war is no different. a white house deputy national security adviser announced today on cbs's face the nation, -- he said that more than 300 americans and their families have been able to leave gaza, after intense negotiations, but more remain. last week, the white house passed legislation providing more than 14 billion dollars in aid to israel. and bypass, i mean they sent it to congress. they announced at. slashing the budget of the internal revenue service. so, let me just back up for a second. last week, the white house sent a 14 billion dollar aid, more than 14 billion dollar aid package to congress. congress turned around under the leadership of the house of representatives by speaker
1:06 pm
johnson, and passed a 14 billion dollar aid to israel only, no aid for ukraine, no aid for taiwan, no aid for the border, that the president had in his package. and offset that, but slashing money to the irs that was funded with in the inflation reduction act. now, this is a bill y'all, that is dead on arrival in the united states senate. the president vowed to be veto it, even if it did reach his desk. so if congress advocates and yet another stalemates, thousands of protesters, they were march to washington d.c. yesterday. including on joe biden's doorstep, where they demanded an immediate cease fire and an end to military aid to israel. so joining me now to discuss it all is white house domestic policy adviser neera tanden. welcome. thank you very much for coming in, on a sunday near. i had to pause and make sure i explain it is right, what is going on. so neera, as the white house policy adviser, you are leading the domestic side of this
1:07 pm
strategy to combat islamophobia and antisemitism, in conjunction with the national security council. what, what is your response, and what is the white house response? what we saw yesterday, thousands of people in the streets of washington d.c., marching to the white house, staying outside for hours, calling for a cease-fire. >> well i mean, the president has said all throughout this, and people have the right to protest, they have the right to state their views on this important issue. in fact and some college campuses, we are seeing evidence that people are basically trying to silence protests, and that is wrong. obviously, this issue is deeply felt one, as the president has said, and as secretary blinken has said, we are pushing for a humanitarian pause. but as the domestic policy council chair, i am really looking at the domestic effects of these issues, and we are seeing rising antisemitism on campus, and a significant increase in incidences of
1:08 pm
islamophobia and anti-muslim bias as well. in an anti arab bias as well. so that is what i am doing, to combat these issues. >> and so what is the right white house doing in for the rise of antisemitism and anti arab sentiment, islamophobia? >> so, the white house has, the administration has a multi pronged approach. which is, we need to make clear. the department of justice is making clear, department of homeland security's making clear, that acts of violence and threats of violence are illegal. and that is why action is quickly taken, related to cornell, and incidences of threats and violence on cornell, local law enforcement really arrested the perpetrator. and, that is really clear. it is important for us to be clear across the board, that when there are threats of violence, when there is violence itself, that is illegal activity. also, actions of antisemitism, and actions of islamophobia,
1:09 pm
our discrimination. and prohibited by law. so last week, i was at a college campus, where we heard about instances of antisemitism. and, it is also important that we make clear as a. >> that instances of antisemitism, and islamophobia of violations of law they violate the civil rights act and they contribute to discrimination. >> you know near oftentimes what is happening in the foreign policy realm, does not necessarily breakthrough for. the american audience by this particular war i also argue the war in ukraine has. but when i'm out there talking to folks across the country, i often hear people say there is all this aid for ukraine, and now all this aid billions of dollars to israel. but what about what is happening domestically. what about my student loans? how are you, because as well as large and -- fast that folks out there they
1:10 pm
don't necessarily and they don't necessarily see what is happening domestically for them. >> well that is really why it was so important that the president put forward funding in the emergency supplemental for issues here at home. and now, to say i am -- on the 16 billion dollars he put in the emergency supplemental for childcare. this is a desperate need, parents are looking at increasing costs, because recently passed funding for the american rescue plan is running. out and you are saying in a supplement that the president sent to congress, there is money for taiwan and israel, and ukraine. >> and for childcare we put forward a supplemental, there is 16 billion dollars for -- there are billions of dollars to ensure that our broadband is fully connected, there. there is a domestic
1:11 pm
supplemental it is really important for people remember this, for while these issues are urgent overseas, we also have urgent issues domestically, like childcare. and, it is important that we investigate as. well >> do you think that that is in fact breaking through. i mean to be clear, i don't think a lot of people out there knew prior to this conversation that there are all these other things in that supplemental. do you think that is breaking through, what else are you doing to drive that message home? while we have >> we have been working with congressional leaders. i recently did a press conference with -- congresswoman rosa delauro. it is important for us to get the message out, on these issues as well. so, but it is important for people to remember that the president strongly supports aid for israel and aid for ukraine, and in taiwan. but we also have a domestic supplemental that is urgent as well. >> as well as the border. >> you talk about visiting colleges and universities over the past week. you went to -- in maryland. and secretary cardona, the
1:12 pm
education secretary -- you listened to jewish students from several local universities. it wasn't -- just. and you talked about the rise in antisemitic incidences, following the october 7th attack. what were some of the things you heard from the students? because, i often think that we are hearing a lot about what the administration is doing, but what did the students say to you? >> you know, students have heard, they have heard an experienced targeting. language that is really directed at jewish students. there are epithets towards jewish students, they see the writing on check boards, they have heard that themselves. i think people feel and the jewish students really communicated this deep sense of fear, and anxiety when they are being targeted. and you know that is wrong, and there is no place in the country for that. and, our, we have an
1:13 pm
antisemitism strategy, and that national strategy we have already put forward. we are working on an islamophobic strategy. as the president is said, there is no space for hate in any corner of this country. we can combat rant rising antisemitism, and also combat islamophobia. and that is why we have these efforts going forward. >> neera tanden, i appreciate you for coming in on a sunday, and making that -- thank you for you. time >> thank you. >> coming up folks, the republican presidential candidates, guess what, well some of them, not all of them. but they are going to take the stage for their third primary debate on thursday, in miami. -- donald trump, yet again. the question is, can any of these other candidates do anything, to chip away at his lead? well, my political panel joins me next, with some answers. ith some answers
1:14 pm
right now get a free footlong at subway. like the new deli heroes. buy one footlong in the app, get one free. it's a pretty big deal. kinda like me. order in the subway app today.

1:18 pm
republican national committee raised the threshold for candidates to qualify for this debate. so far, nbc news has confirmed donald trump, ron desantis, the vague ramaswamy, nikki haley, chris christie, and tim scott are all qualified -- says his campaign has enough donors to take the stage, but he has not met the 4% pulling requirement. former arkansas governor asa hutchinson has also not qualified for the debate. most notably absent will be former vice president mike pence, who dropped out of the race just over a week ago. now, he is looking to back another candidate in the race and an attempt to block front runner trump from winning the republican nomination. good luck. the former president is not expected to attend wednesday night's debate either. he has yet to attend any debate, actually, since announcing his bid for the republican nomination. donald trump is also facing a mountain of legal battles
1:19 pm
including the new york civil fraud case, and he is expected to take the stand in that case tomorrow. with that, let's bring in jennifer horn, former new hampshire republican party chair and the host of is it just me or have we all lost our minds. my favorite podcast. simon rosenberg is here. simon rosenberg is a veteran democratic strategist and the author of hope pm, chronicles substack. jennifer, i'm gonna start with you. we know that a lot of the candidates are frankly frustrated -- refusal to appear on the debate stage. but the supporters of donald trump and republican party voters don't seem to bothered. and chris christie really took his frustration, if you will, about this to the stage in florida's freedom summit yesterday. he was actually immediately booed by the crowd when he took the stage, and i want to play his response for you. >> what a shock here for trump. i've gotta fall over that. [crowd chanting] now look.
1:20 pm
every one of those boos, every one of those catcalls, every one of those yells will not keep -- yeah, sure. will not solve one problem we face in this country. it will not solve -- yap. it will not make this country better. you are anger, your anger against the truth is reprehensible. [crowd chanting] >> oh my goodness. governor kristi was trying to preach to the choir, it feels like. jennifer, i don't know. when i was advising presidential campaigns, i could not imagine if advent, after event, after event, candidates were met with crowds like that. i'd say, we just need to pack it up and go home. >> and yet, he still is managing to meet the criteria to be on the stage, which is
1:21 pm
just an interesting twist on it there. but what governor christie is doing, i think, is very important for history. he is saying what needs to be heard. he's saying something that needs to be recorded, you know, in the history books and the future. he's being honest and direct, and i've gotta say, when you first got into this race, i was extremely skeptical. the fact that he has stayed with it, in spite of the fact that the crowds are clearly not with him, i honestly think he deserves some credit for that. do i think there's any chance that his message is going to cut through to all those folks that are booing? no, not at all. it's clear that the republican party, the republican base, they're with trump. trump is still gonna be the nominee, regardless of the pauls, regardless of -- we're seeing desantis and nikki haley getting closer and closer, neck and neck in iowa. we're hearing the governor --
1:22 pm
was going to endorse -- thank you. it's going to endorse desantis. none of that, in the end, it's gonna make any difference. this is still donald trump's party, and donald trump's primary. >> jennifer, even though in a place like new hampshire, where you are the former party chair, governor christie seems to be doing quite well. you and i both know the way you win a primary, a presidential primary, is via delegates. chris christie seems like he could maybe do a little something something in new hampshire. >> he might just surprise somebody, do a little something something in new hampshire. but he's not gonna win there, in my opinion. not at this time. new hampshire is an interesting state. it's more moderate. the democrats are more moderate than others, and republicans are more moderate than others. but this gop in new hampshire loves donald trump. the officers of the party are with trump, whether they admit it publicly or not.
1:23 pm
the committee leaders are with trump. i think of all those people, certainly chris christie is the one who's in the best position to certainly surprise people and maybe build something or continue to build something over the next couple months that will take us by surprise. but i still think that trump wins the day. >> so, simon, donald trump does not seem to be fazed by this little. he's not going on the debate stage, and allies of his and the trump team have told nbc news that they think that this opportunity on monday, where he's gonna testify, can work to their advantage. they're gonna try to see how they can use this. how should democrats be looking at this? because it's not just about the 2024 presidential. every single member of the house of representatives is up. there are some key races, governors races. so how can democrats take a swing at this? >> i think these debates have been very ripe problematic for
1:24 pm
the republicans. it's reminded us that it's not just trump. it's the whole party. listening to some of the extremism, the craziness, the anger, desantis is terrible performances, it's just this wild new creature on this scene. i think it's part of the reinforcement that the republican party goes much deeper than trump. -- democrats, one of the things that we're learning is that with polling now showing the election close between biden and trump, it is time, i think, for the biden campaign to put on the full campaign. we have to go into the general election, we've gotta start engaging trump differently. i think it's time now -- >> turn on the full campaign? what do you mean? >> the whole thing. ads, field, the whole thing. turn on the whole thing. just turn it on. where a year out, general election functionally has begun already, and i agree with jennifer that there's no chance that, you know, it's gonna be anybody other than trump. i think we need to start creating that contrast between
1:25 pm
joe biden's study, strong leadership and trump's wildness. i think we need to use them and what they're doing more effectively to create that contrast. >> jennifer, what do you think at this point? we've got nbc news polling that shows that the top quality voters the top quality they want is the ability to beat joe biden in the 2024 election. that's wh republicans want. how does the biden campaign prepare for that? i mean, how does any her candidate that stands on the debate stage on wednesday sa hey, i can make a credible case that that could be me? an maka edible>> right. well he makes a great point. this is an opportunity, i don't see this as biden being desperate and he should get into a full campaign mode right now. this is an opportunity for him to get into that full campaign mode and advance where he
1:26 pm
normally would. because it's clear it's gonna be donald trump. -- the democrats are becoming divided and vocal about that the vision when it comes to the issue of what's happening in the middle east right now. you're gonna hear a lot of talk about that on the debate stage. and -- one front republicans are united on right now, one of the many things, is israel. and my concern is that for president biden, his own party's gonna see him as doing too much for israel, the palestinians, whichever -- that something that's gonna last, and really has the potential, i'm concerned, to impact the votes for him. and i think at this debate, you will sort of see the beginning of the republicans really using that issue and trying to manipulate it against president biden. >> we will be watching. jennifer horn, simon rosenberg,
1:27 pm
i hope you'll both come back. we have lots to discuss. thank you very much. and along those lines, folks, i want to let you know about i msnbc special coverage on wednesday after the republican debate. rachel maddow will lead expert analysis starting at ten pm on msnbc and streaming on peacock. you will not want to miss it. i'm also gonna take part in some post-debate analysis on nbc news now, and also right here on msnbc with my colleague jen psaki. we're gonna dig into all the storylines that emerge from the stage on debate night after maddow and the team, so stay with us. coming up, folks, election day 2024. we're talking about it, it's exactly one year from today, and there's some brand-new polling out. it doesn't have very good news for president biden in the battleground states, but as i often say, we just can't put too much stalk in polls this early this fire out. a top biden campaign official is gonna join me next, and we're gonna talk about the state of the race, what their strategy is going forward, and how they think they're gonna

1:31 pm
warning civilians to clear out, while hamas forces them back. allowing in food and water, which hamas steals. some folks might think goli, taste your goals. allowing in food and water, president biden is facing a difficult road to reelection righnow because of new polling for the new york times showing biden trailing. former president trump and five have the six most important battle ground states. but folks, you all have to take these polls with a grain of salt. the polls from a year out were accurate, mitt romney would've been president in 2012, and the
1:32 pm
same could be said for secretary clinton in 2016. so with the year to go, the biden election campaign is ramping up its effort to shrink those margins and retain the white house. and a newly-released strategy memo, but it's teams that they'll rely heavily on the same game plan from 2020, drawing a contrast with donald trump and his maga movement. the question is, will it be enough? to answer that and more, i'm joined by -- for the biden campaign, clinton folks. clinton, thank you for being here today. i want to start where i ended. it is drawing a contrast with trump going to be enough to retain the white house in 2024? >> first of all, thank you for having me, simone. it's always good to be with you. look, we think it is. this election is a choice. it's a choice between president biden and whoever the republican party decides to put forward. it's a choice and a contrast that we're drawing to make sure that voters know president
1:33 pm
biden is fighting to -- start contrast with the republican party who want to provide tax breaks for the wealthy. this is a choice, and we need to make that clear to voters. we're excited to do all we can from the very beginning, very early in this campaign, and have a consistent communication with voters across the country to do just that. >> i'm glad you mentioned very early. the question is, how are you going about communicating that choice, clinton? what is the strategy here? i know that there's been a robust investment and adds, but as i used to say when i was on the campaign trail, you've got to meet people where they are in the barbershops, beauty shops, and bible study's. i don't know. i haven't seen evidence that the campaign is ramping up those kinds of efforts just yet. >> i think one of the most important things to remember is we live in a very different environment. -- one of the things i was talking about was how we won the
1:34 pm
warnock race, and it was consistent communication and base voters. 80 million people said -- sent biden and harris to the white house. we started this campaign saying that we have to communicate with based on retracted voters of color very early and consistently. we've done that with the 25 million dollar ad buy that's currently running, also piloting innovative, organizing programs in several of the battleground states. because we are gonna have to do this. for us, the barometer that it's working is not polls. it's about when people are asked to move their feet and go to the ballot box to touch that screen, pull that lever, that they're doing that. and so far in 2023, we've seen evidence of that. we're also seeing evidence of these voters opening up their purses and their wallet books and giving to this presidential campaign. we're happy to report $70 million raised in q3, and we have $95 million in cash on hands. so when push comes to shove, voters are being asked to take action, that doing it. and that's what successes. --
1:35 pm
we know that there is a correlation for what president biden is doing to deliver for them, it's key for us, and we're very excited about it. >> so you're not concerned about the poll? i mentioned the new york times poll today, you're not concerned? >> look. i think these are snapshot sometime. people doubted president biden in 2019, 2020, they doubted obama, they doubted hillary, they doubted senator warnock when i was in georgia. but this is an exercise and strength from campaigns, and disciplined. and this campaign is very focused on being disciplined and john that contrast. again, it is numerous. there is no candidate that is ever run on the popularity of issues that joe biden has, or the record of accomplishments. so no, we're not concerned about these polls because we're focused on laying this foundational base of drawing that contrast using the innovative techniques that we're doing right now to figure out where to reach voters most effectively so we can head into
1:36 pm
2024. but no, we don't care about a poll in november of 2023. >> quinton, i want to ask you about the effect the israel-hamas war is potentially having on the campaign and the electorate. you know, i talked to a lot of political professionals, and reporters, and strategists, and there are number of strategists out there who say president biden's response is going to hurt him and potentially cost him the election in 2024. i think those are strong words and strong predictions, but the muslim vote, the arab american vote is key in a place like michigan. as you well know, you can win detroit, but if you don't win the suburbs, honey, you cannot be a democrat that wins michigan. are you concerned about the protests you're seeing, the rhetoric that's coming out from some base voters? people who are saying that they don't like the response that they've seen from the biden harris white house on this issue? >> look, simone. first of all, i want to take a moment to really acknowledge
1:37 pm
that what we're seeing in the middle east, it's horrific. i also think we have to acknowledge that multiple things can be true, right? on one hand, you see that hamas had a terrorist attack on israel. israel has a right to defend itself, but the way in which they defend themselves is very critical here. the president has also called for humanitarian pauses and humanitarian aid into gaza. he stumbled down on the fact of him in the vice president -- the fact that antisemitism, islamophobia has no place in the american political system. and so we're doing everything that we can. when it comes to these issues, i also think, just pivoting back to what i said before, this is contrast. what we've seen from president biden on this issue is a stark contrast to what the republicans are putting forward. on one hand, you see president biden showing his experience, delivering a study foreign policy hand with all the issues going on across the world, and on the flip side of that, you see donald trump praising
1:38 pm
hezbollah. you see him mispronouncing the name of the terrorist attack. you see donald trump throwing our allies under the bus. that's precisely the difference between the choice that will be in front of voters next year in 2024, when you have joe biden you have donald trump. donald trump takes this, and the republicans take this personally, and make it about them. we are focused on doing everything we can to make sure that leaders on both sides of this issue now that we hear them and we see them. but i think that this is also another extreme example of what joe biden and kamala harris bring to the table versus what the republican party and anyone they put on the table will bring to the table in 2024. >> let me ask you about two other key consist -- constituencies. black men and latino men. as you know increasingly over the last few cycles, black men and latino men have been identified as key constituencies that democrats need to work just a little extra harder to communicate to,
1:39 pm
to turn out. what is the key strategy there? because if you look at some of the support with key groups, and you look at the 2020 exit poll versus the 2023 new york times poll that we just talked about, some of the support has softened. i take your point about polls. i tend to agree with you about pulls a year out. but you will concede that the support is not necessarily where it was this time in 2020. >> look. i think this is not just the joe biden problem. i think this is something that everyone is facing. but what the campaign is doing about this in particular is making sure that we communicate with these voters. i take this very personally. but what these two constituency groups are very used to, quite frankly, and candidly, being honest with you, is waiting until september, october of the on year, next year, having campaigns come in and parachuted into their
1:40 pm
communities, and say hey, but for me. and to use operative terms, those voters have been seen as gotv. or just get out and vote targets. we're treating them very much like persuadable audiences that we have to have sustained communications with, which is why us communicating with them on television over a year out is extremely critical to this. these are two communities that we do not take for granted whatsoever, and we are putting in the work. this is not something that the republican party or any other party, quite frankly, is gonna be able to just drop in next year in 2024, and believe that they're gonna be able to communicate with these voters. so i'm very proud of the work that our campaign is doing on the front and to make sure that we're most effective in reaching those communities and constituencies as we head into next year. >> one year out from election day. quentin, last time we talked, i was like, they're gonna hire you, and they did. i look forward to chatting with you over the next year. they'll be a lot to talk about. appreciate you. >> thank, you simone. >> thank you. up next, speaker mike johnson.

1:45 pm
every single human life. so i come to congress with the personally have convictions. >> it's speaker johnson's deep, personally held conviction that the government should have a say over what women do with our bodies. but he doesn't believe the government should know what he does with his bank account. that's according to reporting from the daily beast, which says over the course of seven years, johnson has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, knowing the name of his wife or any of his children,disclosures show. in fact, he doesn't appear to have money stashed away in any investments, with his latest filing covering 2022 showing no assets whatsoever. here was his explanation. >> yes, but. i'm a man of modest means. my father was a firefighter. i didn't grow up with great means. but i think that helps us to be a better leader. because we can relate to every hardworking american family. that's who we are, and i think it helps govern my decisions on how i lead. >> the hardworking american

families that i know, they've got bank accounts. maybe the speaker doesn't have enough in his account to meet the financial disclosure rule, maybe that's it. and perhaps he does take a sack lunch to work, maybe he does skip out on the starbucks. but even if that's the case, don't you want to know why the double standard? financial disclosures, i think, are vital no matter how much an official mix. perhaps you've heard the saying that money talks and bs walks. well these, disclosure rules are designed to -- foreign or domestic. even if johnson's lack of disclosure is legal, i think it raises the question as to why the secrecy? speaker johnson now oversees the house of representatives. that's where federal law of governing your life are approved. that's where they're made. and yet, he doesn't even feel he should either the most basic details of where his money comes from, or how much money he has. as the late and great whitney houston one side, speaker johnson, i want to see the receipts. coming up, folks, tomorrow is

1:51 pm
and his daughter ivanka on wednesday and the civil fraud trial brought by new york attorney general letitia james. trump's campaign says they are ready to, quote, take advantage of his testimony and the surrounding media attention. what does that mean? the former president, he has been outspoken in his criticism not only of the attorney general but also the judge presiding over the case, and the judge's law clerk. now, judge arthur and gwen has already shown that he is not playing around. he already imposed a protective order barring trump from speaking about his staff, and expanded that order last week to include the former presidents attorneys. if you think it's a hollow threat, the judge has already fined donald trump twice for violating his order. meanwhile, an appeals court has temporarily lifted an order put in place by the judge in trump's d.c. election interference case that limits what he can say. hearings for that appeal are expected later this month. we're also awaiting word from
1:52 pm
the judge presiding over his classified documents case, he's indicating that she made the latest -- set to begin next may. there's a lot here. now, i'm joined by fighter for former federal prosecutor shan lieu who literally performed magic to get into this studio today. quite impressed. let's start with donald trump. -- will he not be exposed at all and we need to stop typing it? >> if i were his lawyer, i would not want him to be exposed for it. but he has a tendency to go off. i think it'll start off kind of concise and focused, but i'm sure he'll start to meander and speech if i. in terms of substance, there isn't that much that he can say that would convince the judge any different from what his two sons of already testified to. he's unlikely to do a better job than they have done, which isn't that great. so i do look for him to meander off and start to make a lot of statements. >> why would he take the stand? does he have to?
1:53 pm
>> well, he has to at least take it and then say i'm taking the fifth. unlike in the criminal trials, where they don't even want to mention the fact that you're taking the stand, and if he doesn't take it because it's a civil trial, the judge can draw an adverse inference. but i think there's a lot of ego involved. i think he wants to get up there and say, this is wrong, i'm the victim, and make his best pitch for it, and then he'll campaign for. >> and in appeals court, and a completely separate case, he's gonna hear, donald trump is gonna make arguments to his attorneys that the protective order that has now been stayed in the d.c. trial violates his free speech rights. does he actually have a case here on this? >> he has a case in the sense that everyone has free speech rights. >> yes. you can't yell fire in the theater and get away with it. >> yeah. and judge chutkan has done a very narrowly tailored order, really, to say that look --
1:54 pm
political aspect of it, you can criticize the judge, but you can't say things that would intimidate or put him to fear -- put into fear the witnesses in the case. that would jeopardize the integrity of the trial. and that should be true for anybody on trial. the problem is, i think, that the courts, including judge chutkan, i've been so concerned with him being a presidential candidate and how important that political speeches, all speeches important, all political speech is important, but they've gotta be careful bending over backwards. and her staying and herself initially before getting pleadings, very normal. same, thing for the court of appeals, waiting to get pleadings. but here's the problem. in the interim, the former president can do a lot of threatening remarks and a lot of damage. >> we've seen him engage in it over and over again. we'll be watching this space. shan wu, a magician, folks. very good to see. thank you for being here. when we come back, the life and times of civil rights icon malcolm x returns to the opera.
