e. jean carroll defamation trump, which donald trump was found of sexually abusing e. jean carroll on the campaign trail, i asked her 48 hours after the finding whether she believed e. jean carroll and donald trump, and she was explicit that she believed donald, not e. jean carroll, and in the aftermath of the civil fraud trial in new york, she called for investigations into tish james and judge engoron who oversaw that case and the finding that led to a financial penalty of $350 million against donald trump. so every step of the way, she has called for another example, she has called for an investigation into what she says was the weaponization of the doj by the biden administration. on capitol hill, you can make the case, there's been no more loyal staunch defender than elise stefanik. the assumption would be that up on the world stage that she would be able to play that same type of a role to carry out the foreign policy of the trump administration. >> push liz cheney to the side. >> tell us about tim homan, we played a clip from cpac talking about the family separat

e. jean carroll defamation and sexual abuse cases, trump is on the hook for half a billion dollars. those cases are on appeal so we are waiting to see what the appeals court to do. the fact that he is the president-elect will not impact the outcome of those cases. it will come down to the legal arguments. >> thank you so much. >>> and coming up . a louisiana law that requires the 10 commandments be displayed in every public school classroom is temporarily walked by a federal judge. stay with us for more. >>> a federal judge has temporarily blocked louisiana's new law that requires the 10 commandments displayed in all public school classrooms but the ruling marks a win for opponents of the law who argued these poster -sized displays of religious doctrine is a violation of the separation of church and state. the judge went as far as to call the law unconstitutional on its face. what more can you tell us about the decision? >> reporter: and that law would've gone into effect january 1st. it's been touted by republicans , including president-elect donald j. trump and is one of the lates

e. jean carroll, for inappropriate everything. political candidate saying this. this is someone with a long history of misogyny and inappropriate acts towards women. and i think that's really important. so it adds another level of menace to it. but it is, again, like they have just doubled down on men and completely ignored the fact that more women than men vote. and even from everything from like picking j.d. vance as vice president. at no point did donald trump ever say, like, and again this was true in his presidency. at no point did he say i want to grow the electorate. every other president has been like we need to reach out to people to hear this message, and he's like, no, there are enough angry white guys to make it work. >> and the phrase whether they like it or not sort of evokes the control and lack of autonomy women also feel because trump policies that overturned -- and supreme court justices that overturned roe v. wade. the harris campaign has placed quiet bets on the idea there are quiet voters, even ads out there w

e. jean carroll verdict where he owes her.s possible trump could win those appeals and i don't want to misjudge that. if those are uphold we're talking about a universe in which donald trump owes half a billion dollars to two women alone. >> he also has a deliberation happening right now. judge juan merchan, he's given himself until november 12th to determine whether or not is going to toss the case. how much do you think that affects merchan's deliberations? >> i don't think it affects his deliberations to the conviction itself. i think it weighs heavily on him with respect to the sentencing. i can expect and we can expect to see an application of donald trump's lawyers asking him to postpone the sentencing or never hold it because it would be improper, it would raise constitutional concerns to sentence a president-elect. i think the big question on everybody's mind is when that application comes what is manhattan d.a. alvin bragg going to do? is he going to agree the sentence should be held in trump's four year, or do you ju

e. jean carroll verdicts. it is possible he could win the appeals. i don't want to discount that.ut a universe in which donald trump owns more than half a billion dollars to two women alone. >> wow. i mean, he also has a deliberation happening right now. judge juan merchan has given himself until november 12th to determine whether or not to toss the case, how much do you think that affects his deliberations? >> not with respect to the conviction itself. it weighs much more heavily on him if he sustains the verdict with respect to the sentencing. we can expect to see an application of some sort by donald trump's lawyers asking him to either postpone the sentencing or never hold it because it would raise constitutional concerns to sentence the president-elect. when the applications comes, what is the manhattan da going to do? is he going to agree the sentence should be held in abeyance during his presidency? you can put a four year pause on it. on the sentencing. or you could just agree he doesn't need to be sentenced at all as long as the conviction holds. my guess is that the team

e. jean carroll, his buddy-buddy relationship with jeffrey epstein, his feelty to vladamir putin, and that attempted coup, despite that, the majority of american voters actively chose him over her. women all over this country know what it feels like to be the far more qualified woman who loses the job to mediocre or underqualified men. black women doubly so. and people are rightfully depressed and scared. the republican party made it clear they're not mad, they find some of the ideas, mass deportation camps, kind of okay. and autocracy definitely feels emment. this era is frightening in you're a women, immigrant, bi, gay, or trans, and that danger is not in your head. in a normal time when an election goes sideways, it is tempting to feel kind of dumb. who are we to believe women would elect a woman, let alone a black woman as its president. sure, mexico did it, but not america. but it is not crazy or dumb to believe in the possibilities of america. millions of people all around the world do too. my parents did. that's why they, like so many immigrants, including kamala harris' parents, ca

here is donald trump under oath in a deposition on the e jean carroll case. >> you said it and it is famous in this video. i just start kissing them. it is like a magnet. just kiss, i don't even wait. and when you are a star they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them by the -- [beep] -- you can do anything, that is what you said, correct? >> historically that is true with stars. >> they t is true they can grab women by the -- [beep] >> if you look over the last million years, largely, not always but largely true. unfortunately or fortunately. >> you consider yourself to be a star? >> i think you can say that, yeah. >> there is donald trump in an under oath where it is impossible for staff to protect them. therefore impossible to hide how breathtakingly stupid he is. his stupid comment if women like it or not has revived the access hollywood video for voters who did not even know it existed because they were too young eight years ago and their parents shielded them from it. "the washington post," reports, i don't think any of my friends had heard it. said kate sullivan, a 21-y

we have the e jean carol case, $88 million for two judgments for e jean carroll, the january 6th caseother source of potential civil liability for trump. what does this mean for all of these cases? all right. >> i'll try to run through them quickly. okay. the ones we know is what will happen is there are two federal cases, one in washington, d.c, one in florida. mr. trump will get inaugurated at noon eastern time on january 20th. i predict that by 1 p.m, those two cases will be gone because all he has to do is direct the justice department to dismiss the cases. those will be gone. he can't do anything about the criminal case in new york. he is set to be sentenced next week on the stormy daniels case, but i so i assume what the judge well, i assume what the judge will do is give him basically a suspended sentence and maybe a fine and call it a day. he was unlikely to get jail time on that one anyway. and then the georgia case probably. >> what will willis case? >> fani willis at least with respect to mr. trump, is there will be a very strong argument to say you can't prosecute him whil

e. jean carroll case. >> you say it, and again, this has become very famous in this video. "i just start kissing them, it is like a magnet. just kiss. i don't even wait. and when you are a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them by the [ bleep ], you can do anything." >> welcome historically, that is true with the stars. >> historically, that is true with stars, that you can grab women by the [ bleep ]? >> if you look over the last years, that has been largely true. not always, but largely true. unfortunately, or fortunately. >> and you consider yourself to be a star? >> i think you can say that, yeah. >> there is donald trump, in an under oath deposition, where it is impossible for staff to protect him, and therefore impossible to hide how breathtakingly stupid he is. donald trump's stupid comment about whether women like it or not has revived the "access hollywood" video for voters who didn't even know it existed, because they were too young. and eight years ago, their parents shielded them from it. the washington post reports, "i don't think any of my fr

e. jean carroll in the 1990s. that's never happened before for an incoming president.from his point of view, since he denies that still to this day, he is much more willing to accept denials from the people like pete hegseth and matt gaetz and in fact to view them perhaps as he views himself, someone who is persecuted, treated unfairly, somebody who has been a victim in his view of the me too movement. i think he wants to force that fight because it is -- it is part of that male oriented campaign. >> what does this mean for the me too movement? >> i think it shows yet another spike in the uphill battle of cultural conversations about what it means to be accused of sexual assault. and the conversation around believing survivors and creating environments to stop this. i say that with the underlying -- understanding that donald trump is bringing these individuals in as peter noted. he may not have known about some of their history, but he knew about a lot of it and he's bringing them in because this is the environment he's looking to foster in his next administration. und

e. jean carroll, the writer. the first time we had an incoming president found by a court to be a sexual abuser. he seemed to be taking on -- saying i'm not in favor of disqualifying people because of these things because i don't believe these allegations are true or they're unfair. >> garrett haake, peter baker, charlie dent, thank you to all of you. joining us now, dr. richard besser, ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation, former acting director of the cdc. your reactions to dr. trump picking dr. oz, first of all, to head the centers for medicare and medicaid services. >> i have to say, i was shocked. and very disappointed. this position, running cms impacts over 180 million lives in our country. this part of the department of health and human services runs medicare, it runs medicaid, which provides healthcare services to lower income people, people with disabilities, runs the children's health insurance program, it is an essential part of government and traditionally it has been headed up by someone with g

e. jean carroll won against him not once but twice and now he is re-elected so he is surrounding himselfr men accuse sod he can send a message you know what we are not afraid of is rape but we are afraid of men losing their careers to these accusations. >> it is interesting for me to watch the hegseth stuff. he denies this, i want to be clear. in which a woman gone to the hotel with her husband and children at a conservative women's conference slept with him and then fabricated an allegation. but what i think is interesting here, the defense is, the police look into it, they did, police report, and close not to bring charges. i feel like one of the defining things that we learned in metoo, is just because the police does not arrest someone does not mean it did not happen. >> right. the entire point of the metoo movement is powerful men have gotten away with being serial rapist for years. if you look at the hegseth report, and i recommend everyone does, the details are noshiating. a lot. there woman did everything right and the fact that the police did not pursue it? when are the police,

we're talking about the e jean carroll verdict, the verdict in new york for falsifying the value of his properties. we know a civil lawsuit can proceed against a sitting pd from the united states supreme court's decision in the paula jones lawsuit against bill clinton, hotly contested, supreme court said, no, you can carry on with civil actions. so, count on hearing continued news on those. they're both being appealed. it might be that the appeal's court uphold those verdicts against trump. it might be that we hear that some of them have been knocked down. the $400 million verdict might be reduced, substantially. those cases carry on. yes, trump gets the most important type of protection in the criminal context, but in the civil context, very little, if any. >> and in a segue, one of the reasons i was asking about this is rudy giuliani, you know, was all over the place yesterday driving around in his merds, there's no pardons for that, period. where might we see pardons, first with outgoing joe biden and income donald trump? >> first of all, with respect to rudy and others, mark meadows

e. jean carroll case and the lee tissue that james case,s how those are dealt with, civil cases a presidentlittle bit more involved in than a criminal case according to the supreme court, but that is all according to what he wants to do. if he wants those cases heard and push those, i think they can move forward. otherwise everything's on a pause until he's out of office -- stuart: and lawfare failed dramatically. >> we'll see if they find a new way the attack him or, but for now p all of these efforts, i think he's been victor crouse on all fronts. -- victor yous with on all fronts. stuart: thank you for joining us this morning. the pennsylvania supreme court just ruled on whether to count undated or unsigned ballot toes. what did they decide to do, count them or not, lauren? lauren: the state's supreme court will not count them. it's a 5-2 democratic majority. i just wanted the point that out, that's important in this decision. they reaffirmed their decision that counties cannot count misdated or undated ballots. election boards in at least three counties, including bucks and philadelphia

e. jean carroll, so we have seen the history of him, and in the case of matt gaetz, he is putting phonels through to senators, and in large part of not only the department of justice that had their investigation by donald trump new largely because his former speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy who was audibly on the front lines of telling them that matt gaetz had ultimately at one point been in jail, let alone being out of congress. >> chuck, you are arguing that donald trump is losing his political capital fast, how much more capital does he stand to lose? voters did put him in the office, knowing full well that he was going to do this sort of thing. >> it's that last part that i take issue with, when you win an election, it isn't because of your base, it is because that last slice of voters, when you went into an election that is that narrow, this is where i think the trump folks are always committing the same stand the biden folks had when they came in, the runoff victory in georgia solidified this idea that oh, look, it is a democrat mandate, but it was a massive mystery and he won

state of new york, $450 million plus in that judgment and that is not to say anything of the two e jean carroll appeal. it is possible donald trump could win those appeals and i don't want to discount that, but if those judgments are all upheld, we are talking about a universe in which donald trump owes more than a half billion dollars to two women alone. >> wow. i mean, he also has a deliberation that is happening, judge juan merchan who oversaw trump's hush money case is, i believe, he has given himself until november 12th to determine whether or not to toss the case, now that donald trump is president-elect, how much do you think that affects merchan's deliberations? >> i don't think it affects his deliberations with respect to the conviction itself, i think it was more my heavily on him if he sustains the verdict with respect to the sentencing and you can expect and i certainly expect to see an application of some sort by donald trump's lawyers asking him to either postpone the sentencing or never hold it, because it would be improper, it would raise constitutional concerns, to sentence a p

e. jean carroll case where two cases where he lost and was ordered to pay $88.5 million. interest is also accruing on that. so if you put those two legal judgments together just those things alone, you're at about all of the real estate stuff on top of that. >> so let's say even if we cases under appeal right. so there's a chance that that changes. so if we put that aside, the legal judgments you've been mentioning the real estate business. what really stands out to you most in terms of the debt there? >> the one that i think will be potentially most troublesome for trump is connected to 40 wall street, so he has $118 million of debt against that building. and his leasehold interest in the building, we estimate, is only worth 116 million. so it looks like the building is a little bit underwater and that debt comes due in july of next year. so he's got to figure out a solution here pretty quickly. there are two options. one is he could go find a bank to refinance the loan, but banks are going to be pretty skeptical of refinancing an old aging office building where the occu

e. jean carroll, who had accused him of a rape decades earlier. the civil trial that was held in new york. that's just one example. there are many, you know, she is said to have been working more within a chain of command within the last couple of weeks of the campaign, but the new white house is different. and so that's why it's significant. as we know, trump often would get information that was not vetted from, you know questionable sources while he was president and in the interregnum between these two presidencies and so what he does with that information, who he's listening to is always of importance for real. >> maggie, before i let you go, i want to ask you about one other figure who you had covered i think, well before. i would imagine donald trump actually was, you know, in the oval office. but obviously he was a figure during the first trump administration. and that is, of course rudy giuliani. i want to show you what what he had to say after court this week. let's watch the reality is, i have no cash. >> it's all tied up. so, right now,

e. jean carroll why he has such affinity for people who have been accused of really awful sexual misconduct. i think is a bit of self-evident. i think we know why he feels he feels a kinship perhaps. >> all right. paul begala, terry sullivan, thank you for all the metaphors. as i understand it, mozart's bologna will draw you offsides. appreciate it. okay thank you john. >> coming up for us, she vanished after missing a connecting flight in los angeles. and now her family is desperately seeking answers after getting suspicious text messages from the woman's phone. and breaking overnight, ukraine has fired american long range missiles into russia for the first time, just after the biden administration gave the green light for ukraine to do to go where it had previously deemed a no go. much more ahead the hash truck's back and it's better than ever to the rescue. >> this year, the hash st. roch year, the 60th anniversary has fire truck with car and motorcycle comes with lights, sounds and a huge ladder only at hess toy truck. >> dot com with free shipping and batteries. >> new projects means n

e. jean carroll who won two separate trials against him, one on sexual abuse claims and defamation, theone. he owes her currently more than $90 million and both of those cases are on appeal, chris. >> andrew, donald trump has promised to pardon january 6th convicts, including potentially some of the more violent ones. is there any precedent for this? >> well, the pardon power is in the constitution, and i think that we can all go back in history, and frankly not too far back in history to look at abuses of the pardon power that a president holds. what is different here is the connection of the pardon power to a personal interest that the president has. and so that is something that i won't say it's unprecedented but it's certainly unusual. there, however, is nothing at all illegal about it. that is something that the president would be able to do. obviously the idea that somebody would be pardoned to engaged in violent conduct is something that i'm not aware of, usually, therefore, crimes that have to do with low level drug offenses or sometimes public corruption type cases or somebody

and of course, he has some civil cases in which he's lost, notably e jean civil cases in which he's lost, notably ejean carrollual assault and was awarded tens of millions of dollars against him. so he still has some legal issues, but really these major things that could have sent him to jail have gone up in smoke. gary, beautifully summarised as ever. two britons are thought to be among 16 people who are missing after a tourist boat sank in the red sea early this morning. the boat had set off on a five—day diving tour yesterday from port gahlib. 28 people have been rescued so far — they were found south of the port. 0ur correspondent sally nabil joins us from the capital cairo. what we know so far is that 28 people have been rescued earlier in the day, and 16 are still missing, including four egyptians. the governor of the red sea said that there are no technical errors behind this incident, the boat was safe, and initial reports are quoting stories told by the survivors, suggesting that bad weather might have been a factor because, according to what the survivors said, the boat was hit overnight by a huge wa
