. >> panels here, molly ball, senior political correspondent, the wall street journal, matt gorman, former senior adviser to tim scott's presidential campaign, and former federal prosecutor, elliot williams, is also here. elliott i guess it should have been forgone conclusion that donald trump wasn't going to testify in this case, but he clearly you didn't actually want that to be the story. >> even though he acquiesced in the end, there was no universe either real, unreal meta versatile, whatever else in which would have made sense for donald trump to testify defendants very rarely do take the stand for obvious reasons. they can be picked apart past statements. they've made past conduct of theirs past. there's a gag order in this case where the president had been told based on his misbehavior that there are certain things he couldn't say in public-key through alluded to their all of that could maybe have come in they would have spent more time at a hearing before trump testified talking about all the things that could get into court that he'd said in the past, then he would have been on t

they are hoc and molly ball is also back with us. so joe i mean is the former lieutenant governor geoff duncan a bit of a republican unicorn yes, he is. >> look, i give them laura, a lot of credit because it takes courage and i know this myself as a republican four years ago when i came out and stood up and said, i support joe biden i knew at that moment as a republican, i was ending my careers are republican what geoff duncan is doing right now is he's ending his careers are republican it takes courage because unlike chris christie and bill barr and all the rest who say trump sucks, but i won't vote for biden. i give them credit, but look, they're not moving on from trump i give duncan credit, but he says this isn't trump's not a republican bull crap. this is what the republican party is now. it's his party it's not my party and sat duncan's party. >> he agree was a career suicide. i mean, that in georgia, in particular. >> well, it depends on how much of the map and how much of the party is still going to survive after the election

to discuss today's developments, i spoke to molly ball, senior political correspondent for the wall streetjournalk and the former investigative counsel to the house select committee on the 6 january attack. this was the main witness for the prosecution. what impact do you think the testimony today had? michael cohen today provided direct evidence of the former president, his knowledge of the hush money payments on october 2016 but otherwise he corroborated what we have already heard throughout the majority of the trail. michael cohen told the story of the initial meeting between david pecker, donald trump and michael cohen, to do this catch—and—kill scheme. he took the jury to the timeline, the october 2016 time frame when stormy daniels was paid off. what was key for him to talk about is what trump was saying at key events, whether paying the doorman who had a story, and eventually paying stormy daniels. before we had testimony of what michael cohen told others but today provided what donald trump was telling him when he was making these acts. remind us why michael cohen is so important. he was

molly bat mall ball is back with us now along with dan ravi, they former cvs use foreign correspondent and the author of spies against armageddon karen funny, it seemed a little commentary is also joining us and joe walsh, a former republican congressman. first of all, karen, that's a pretty full-throated response action. how let play for him politically? >> well, it's going to please some people. and as we've seen, it is going to anger others for the folks who have been protesting. i don't they're not going to like that. they probably were happy with what they heard coming out of the icc today. >> but thought was interesting the way this played out. >> so the president was very strong you had secretary of state antony blinken also with a very strong statement that really undermine the investigation. at the same time, the readout that we saw from the meeting that jake sullivan had in the region. he's still raised concerns about rafah and about a humanitarian assistance and what's happening to the palestinian people, which i think is important. again, it goes to a unit i've talked about

i want to bring in senior political correspondent for the wall street journal molly ball, also formerional gop advisor, arena shaw. thank you both for being here. i mean, we are we've been watching this live as it's been coming out. of course, and we are seeing that we've got some people have been using all the rhetoric and discussions. this has been all over the airways from speaker johnson visit recently to president farmers and trump talking about this and beyond, begin with you, molly, on this. what are you making of the political reaction that is he has already happened. and what was likely to become. >> well, look, this is these protests have deeply divided the democratic party. i think it's fair to say that the party is on fire over this. we've had some progressive democrats appearing with the protesters, show wanting to show solidarity with them other predominantly jewish democrats decrying the protest, pointing to the anti-semitism that we have seen all over these protests all over the country. >> and i think the president's silence is becoming conspicuous. it is his policies

with our great panels, cnn, sara marie, mario parker with bloomberg news, whilst read journals, molly ballgoal with semaphore? good morning to you all it was a late night for you, mr. waiguo, you are in the room last night, tropp did not seem irked by all this heckling. but what was how bad was that reception in there it was captured on that audio. >> i should also add there was an open bar, not very far from speaking. that was our they may open bar not a good doug mick yes, this this is the biggest news event that's happened, deliberate hearings and sometime the chair of the party who invited trump was celebrating. she said, they move the overton window of debate and they move trump on their issues, which was the goal part of their goal. and i talked to delegates all weekend at the party was show up in boo and demand things from trump. don't make it look like he can just show up to a libertarian greene convention and win people over. so the big news from this was that he said he'd put a libertarian in the cabinet. he said he'd give clemency to ross all break the founder silk road, this on

out of the woodwork to say this is fine with me it's a great way to punctuate this governs asian molly ball. >> thank you guys very much for being here. thanks to all of you for joining us. i'm casey, how it don't go anywhere. santa new central starts right now the scene plosive with the president, joe biden's red line. now when it comes to israel's war against hamas in gaza, is warning to israeli leaders. the us will stop sending offensive weapons if it invades the gaza city of rafah standing by for stormy, stormy daniels back of the stand shortly in the criminal trial against donald trump, after testifying in detail about their alleged sexual encounter. >> we have new reporting on how the defense team plans to change strategies in its questioning. >> and what is going on with the miss usa organization? this week, not one, but two winners have given up their crowns. ms team usa is the latest to resign days after miss usa resigned, but the two have very different reasons for stepping down on their aside and we're john berman and kate bolduan. this is new central the cnn exclusive sit down w

like that from trump before are at our panels here, former federal prosecutor elliot williams, molly ballssenior political correspondent at the wall street journal conservative columnist scott jennings and sarah matthews, former deputy white house press secretary under president trump. welcome. all well, yesterday was a fun one today, promises to be another one. i elliott what did you make, especially if this the question of what he thought about and how whether or not he cared about melania is actually a really central one to the prosecution, right? >> because prosecution has to establish that there was a political motive perhaps beyond or or an addition to the personal one. now, any reasonable person would want to such information of extra-marital affairs wave from their spouse. but the question is, did this particular person also intend to keep this material away from voters and what you saw yesterday was so far the most direct evidence of that in the form of those conversations. and that recorded conversation between cohen and trump. now, to be clear, it was the prosecution since evide

rockaway, israel's ability to wage war in those areas all right molly ball, this is a remarkable moment for president biden mean this is the first time in american president has done anything along these lines in terms of israel, how do you see the significance of this? >> it's already rippling across israel ben gvir, the national security itamar ben minister itamar ben gvir went on x this morning and said hamas, hearts. joe biden, i mean, this is new territory. >> yeah, it's clearly a breaking point in the already very, very afraid relationship between biden and netanyahu, between the us and israel and it tells you just how little he feels he's able to communicate with b be in private, right? this is a message that i think the us and the president have repeatedly tried to convey to the israelis privately and it clearly has not been successful and so they've taken this, this quite extreme step to say, even though these weapons have been authorized by congress, we're going to put a pause on them because we've told you not to do this the president is, in? an impossible situation here wher

ministration continues to fumble the ball and we can our nation strategic interest with our african partners. america now has effectively been pushed out of chad, new share, molly and berg and a fast. so making more room for rush and china. the administration behaves more like an illustration, a superpower flowing with the toning tide against a washington's presence nisha. and she has recently ripple top military cooperation agreements with the us ordering troops that to pack the bags and leaves american so just was initially sent to african countries to fight terrorism without showing any tangible results. the confidence is still suffering from insurgencies. now the us is trying to find another african nation to and it's military personnel with little success. and i, jerry and journalists told is it's natural to say africans turning to russia and china off the. a has failed to help them deal with security and they can only issues on the confidence in america's insulins has strategically we can over the last decade or 2. and this is allowed to be because of how america you do seem to have dealt with african countries where i think then economies over the years
