dapper don, john gotti. until they were not anymore.mp is going on. i'm here for that. >> ameshia, what do you make of this? joking aside there is a lot to laugh at in that claim. the idea that someone like stephen miller, who may return the white house in some capacity but when he goes on tv and talk like this, do you think this dude, this guy, will be able to talk to president trump in a way that is not cultish.? >> absolutely not. he knows what he says is needed to trump's ears. he wants to assure himself a spot no matter what. he also wants to make sure that he is filling donald j. trump love tank that happens when you extol him for these things that make no sense but as you can recall with the trump shoes and all the things he has sold, one of the things he did early on was what the trump ties and shirts, those did not buy off the shelf but he has never been a style icon. no one would ever say that except stephen miller. >> do you think he is trying to suck up for a job? is that what he is doing two >> reporter: who else would hire

john gotti, teflon don. also john gotti died in prison. that is the path that trump is going on.ke of this? joking aside. there is a lot to laugh at. but the idea that a stephen miller who could return to the white house in some capacity. when he goes on tv and talks like this. do you think this dude and this guys ever going to be able to talk to former president donald trump in a way that is not cultish? >> absolutely not. he knows that what he says is music to the ears of trump. inflates his ego. that is why he does it. he is insuring himself a spot. he is making sure that he is feeling the love tank of donald j trump. that continues. that make no sense. as you can recall with the trump stakes in the trump shoes. that he sold. one of the things that he did early on was what the trump neckties. those things did not fly off the shelf. because it's never been a style icon. nobody would ever say that. except stephen miller. >> do you think that he is just up for a job? >> who else would hire this guy? and he has ties to white supremacist. who would hire him? so yes. he is up to don

trump gets to run out the clock on 91 counts on federal indictment, more than al capone, more than john gotti judges, judges families, and the president of the united states. and i want to know why donald trump is not behind bars tonight ? >> you live in a pretty republican district in california. those people aren't members of the justice department. why do you think so many people still support him? >> because i think you make some people feel important that otherwise wouldn't feel important, and i also think that people get a lot of disinformation, which is something democrats need to be attacking. we need to be talking about the disinformation. we need to be talking about the violent rhetoric that trump uses. bloodbath? showing an image of the president in the back of a pickup truck hogtied? if you are out on bail for one count of an indictment -- nevermind 91. let's say the average guy in rikers gets out on bail, he starts threatening the judge, and the judges family, where would that guy be tonight ? in prison. and the insanity of it is that donald trump could possibly win. that a trade

it was john gotti. audi junior and the jury ended up hanging and we had a juror who was a teacher, and we felt was great for us. we thought she was leading the charge towards conviction. she was nodding when i gave my closing argument, it turned out she was dead set against us the whole and she was the reason the jury hung so yeah, it's not easy. and i made a mistake there. here we are years later. i still remember that, but that's the stakes in this case. you make one mistake. you'll be talking about is 60 from now. she was nodding and you >> thought you had her she knew what she was doing, what she meant. well, how much she >> not again, i don't i still >> call it out whether >> it will bring her on next, leo? >> thank you we do have some breaking news >> this hour is the former house speaker, kevin mccarthy is defending his role and bringing back donald trump from the political wilderness after january 6. this is a georgetown university event that we've been monitoring tonight was focused on american

she is telling us she drew trump in an antitrust case and predicted other trials like john gotti or the park five prosecution, a case highlighting racial tension in the city, and then donald trump used that case calling for the death penalties for those defendants whose charges were later overturned. does art imitate life? i am thrilled to say christine is making her big debut along with one of the former prosecutors who might be in some of those sketches sooner or later. welcome to both of you. so nice to see you. >> i have drawn him already. >> i have in several of her sketches pick >> do you remember the case? >> there were pretrial hearings in the harvey weinstein case. i have been the subject. >> you were there today. why don't you tell us what you look for, what you watch for as you work and we will put up some more sketches as you tell us. >> today was exciting because trump had his supportive family member showed up, his son. i could see that he was visibly moved to have him there, and he stood at the rail and spoke to him for a bit, and we have not been able to get a good shot

. >> brian: sammy the bull killed like 50 people testified general's john gotti and effective witnessd but he is worse. >> brian: i used to be bad. now i'm so much better. there is proof is he still lying. >> lawrence: i wonder what the answer to the respond did you give the former president this legal advice to pay in this way? did you say that? >> brian: right. do you remember when david pecker was asked did trump know? i assume so. you can't assume. strike it. you don't know. he goes i don't know. so there you go. >> lawrence: what a stunning admission. >> steve: over the weekend i actually caught up with jimmy failla on the red carpet of the white house correspondence dinner in washington, d.c., where president biden made left of his ad advanced age. >> of course, the "new york times" issued a statement blasting me for, quote: active and effectively avoiding independent journalists. hey, ha ha, if that's what it takes to get the "new york times" to say i'm active and effective, i'm for it. >> steve: jimmy failla reacts to the jokes. there he is coming up. hey, jimmy. ♪ rock this t

you don't get away with human trafficking unless you give up v john gotti or something like that. happenede ut here. i can tell you, jesse, this that this investigation has been going on for a long time,gn very closely held by his eyes. so much so that even some of the agents on the raid a weekth ago today didn't know whose house they were reading until te they got there. >> that's how closely held while because there could t have been a tip. absolutely. and there are allegations that he was paying law enforcement through his chieff f of security, which also happened to be michael jackson's chief of security. se i don't know if i buy into that. you know, people in diddy situation like to have those involved in law enforcement close to them. but that doesn't mean they're taking payoffs, doesn't meanent they're doing big favor. >> they like that closeness. it's just like how did he waslike able to court diageo or estee lauder? >> he was very successful in doing that. and that made him a lota lo of money and gave him credibility outsid mone the hipi rap world. >> and that's what he w

i'll chatbot the mexican drug lord mobster john gotti bill cosby, jeffrey epstein, burning, made off. wow. you have seen it all and you were there today and i know this was a momentous day. do you a part of history and in fact, i mentioned all those individuals that you've drawn, but you've drawn trump for decades back to an antitrust suit decades ago. so you've seen this man a change and morph and age in so many different ways >> what did you think today >> he sees gotten a bit older >> no, i've been drawing >> him now for months >> right. but i did draw him when he was a young man. he's always kind of startling because of his height. be really is a big guy and also the kind of impassive mask that he wears you know, he's really he's very designed very purposeful. yes, his those eyebrows, you know, which are they? they wear him >> and you do draw them with such distinction. you, they really stand out and how you draw him. >> i want to >> show one of your sketches say, we're going through some of them, but this one, it appears in this one that his eyes are closed. what was happening he

in a typical trial that's not of john gotti or another mobster, would they protect the identities of the witnesses like this? >> no. i can't underscore, willie, how typical it is to provide the names of witnesses. maybe you have some skirmishes about how soon you have to turn it over. is it the night before, three nights before, as it was in this case? but it is totally standard for each side to provide the other with a list of the witnesses they're expecting so they can prepare their cross-examinations. here, as you noted, josh steinglass, one of the d.a.'s lawyers said, "look, i normally do this as a courtesy, but here i can't because the defendant is still tweeting about these witnesses." merchan said, "i can't fault them for that." todd blanche said, "i can promise you he won't tweet," to which merchan said, "you can't make that representation." blanche said, "we'll treat it as attorneys' eyes only information and won't share it with the client." merchan said, "i'm not going to direct them to do that either." there is a level of distrust here. both of the defendant and also sort

in a typical trial that is not john gotti or another mobster, would they protect the identities of theave some skirmish about how soon to turn it over. is it the night before worth two nights before. but it is totally standard for each side to provide the other with a list of the witnesses they are expecting so they can prepare cross examinations. as you noted, josh stein glass said, normally i would do this is a courtesy but here, i can't because the defendant is still tweeting about these witnesses. and that is when they said, i cannot fault them for that. and there were two representations. the first, i can promise you he won't tweet. where juan merchan said, i don't think you can make that. but then saying come we won't even share it with the client. and at that point, juan merchan said, i won't direct them to do that either. there is a level of distrust here. both the defendant and there is a level of distrust that they can be independent from their client. i don't think juan merchan was angry with blanche but if anything, reminiscent of a similar moment with the lawyer who was in

when we talked in the top of the hour, he wanted to model himself on john gotti.al capone. he has a juvenile and dangerous fixation on how mobsters are to be honored and he models himself on that. >> tim, let me come back to you. what is it so broken inside the court in the party that you and i were once in that that's their guy? >> nicole, we could do a whole other hour on this? when does this show end? i think it's the bottom up thing. they are upset at the left. a lot of these grievances are irrational. there are a few rational grievances, a few legitimate reasons to be upset. they are so mad and so angry. he promised them he was going to fight the people that they hated, he shared their hatreds. that allowed them to create a bar that they could unstick. today he's out there complaining that he can't campaign, he's got to be in court. he hasn't campaigned -- he's run the most lazy, lackadaisical presidential campaign in memory this time. last time it was covid so it was a little bit different. at a time when he could get out. he's in mar-a-lago golfing. he's ba

john gotti was ultimately busted for witness tampering where they would both do the pro and the con.lly and also tried to create an atmosphere of fiscal threat for someone on trial for gang activity, rkt tearing and murder. our system can handle it, these new york jurors can handle it. not unaccustomed to hearing tough talk. yes it's donald trump and yes, we all get that. no, i don't think on the scale of the most serious and violent prosecutions that this courtroom has seen, i don't think this is the most complicated defendant. it will wear off after a few days. it sounds funny to say. if they're picked for the trial and you're in week three, you're looking at the witness box, paying attention like you're supposed to. again, it's been impressed upon you for the system to do your job and not play around. in my experience, most jurors get with the program. >> if you lie to get on a jury, you can face prosecution yourself. it's a very big deal. we're still in lunch break. j. lee meihls, thank you for joining us. i want to pick your brain more. i want to know what specific movements you
