i'm going to go to you first, ali velshi.and his sort of low caffeinated version of the presidency, one of the things i feel like it's really done is it really does demonstrate for everyone to see, undeniably, how ineffectual the screaming mimis on the other side who get a lot of our time, they get a lot of oour attention, they actually are completely ineffectual because they make a lot of noise and get a lot of headlines but in the end, it's the normie politicians who go behind closed doors and save the economy and pass things like making sure our debt doesn't go over the hill, they protect medicare and social security. i wonder if at some point, even republicans start to say, maybe we're exhausted by having a million little trumps. maybe we want the economy to stay good. >> i think it's both that people are exhausted by trump and the million little trumps and there's something to be said for just demonstrating what slow and quiet work does. i was enjoying the conversation you had for the first half of the show about not jus

. -- it's saturday june, 16th ali velshi -- former president and -- donald trump is alleged to have absconded with top secret classified documents belonging to the united states government. his defenders are debasing themselves and their preclinical party to defend their dear donald, but first things first, trump did not mishandled with documents. mishandling is careless, a mistake perhaps, not having state secrets -- at your golf club. not taking u.s. battle plans from the white house, keeping them in violation of the law and the subsequent corridor, and then waving them around in a meeting with a writer and a publisher, neither of whom have security clearances or the need to know any of that information. but perhaps most damning is trump's public defense against the indictments. the fact is he is not really denying the key points, the fact has alleged in the 37 accounts. trump has readily admitted on the campaign trail, and public that he took the documents, and that he, indeed, have them at his golf club. trump's defenders don't seem to be arguing the facts, either. instead, they're attack

i think ali velshi is gonna get is a really.ess that's dangerous dangerous. every single day the leaders of our country made decisions oftentimes based on the kind of documents that donald trump had in his possession. and the way in which those documents are gathered, oftentimes how you got that information is the most important, because sometimes of a sensitive piece of that information. people can be killed. that is going to the heart of this. i know there will lots of hamming and hiring about always just papers of this in that but at the end of the day there is much detail here and donald trump himself, if you believe the indictment, as i do, and you read it, don trump himself knew that he shouldn't have the documents. he talks about the conversation. donald trump himself knew he needed to try and conceal this information. that's why he had the conversations he had with his lawyers at the time. donald trump knew he had to mislead the people from the fbi and the archives in the department of justice. it's why he went into a me
