thank you both. >> thank you. >> laura: attorney john eastman thought to be one of the co-spirits in jack smith'sictment and attempt to have him barred. his lawyer is here next and tell us why his client will never plead guilty. you don't want to miss it, next. ♪ >> laura: i don't know, anderson, did you clerk on the supreme court? oh, wait, you didn't. the media can mock john eastman's criminal theory all they want. the issue is criminality. eastman made an argument i wouldn't have made but one i disagreed with at the time and disagree with now but it's not a criminal act to have a novel legal theory about something. even if it's about something like the electors and the constitution. advice given from an attorney used to be sacrosanct and it usually falls under the attorney-client privilege. but this is just another norm that the left will sacrifice on the altar of getting trump. telling fox news that he believes eastman is one of the co-spirits in the latest trump indictment but that he will never plead guilty to this anything related to this we are going to take this to trial. joining me now

correlates to how he approaches prosecution and strategy. >> jack smith will donald trump's head as he sits in a prison cell. >> laurae real jack smith is just another attack dog in the kennel of anti-trump prosecutors trying to make a name for himself. one person who counts most now is saying, hold your horses, judge cannon slapped down the doj absurd request to file motions under seal. can't have the people knowing anything, right? judge cannon is putting smith team on the spot about use of a dc grand jury to gather evidence after it indicted trump in florida using a grand jury in miami. the case was brought in the miami federal district court, so it makes a lot of sense. dc grand jury is what smith, mr. unassailable prefers. the get trump media, who has tried to discredit conon, went bon customers. >> judge cannon will make the prosecutors work. >> we have a judge who may be a loose cannon in terms of what the ruling will be. if she persists in refusing to let them make their case, they likely will have to consider some form of action. >> laura: what is she talking about? action? what type of action? impeachment?

and that's a fact and i think laura, the american people see that. you know, to say that jack smith has overwhelming evidence that donald trump was the person that was behind the january 6th attack on the capitol, and say there is no evidence that would show joe biden had any knowledge of his family receiving millions and millions of dollars from all these foreign nationals that we now know joe biden had spoken to, had dinner with or met with or messaged i think that's preposterous i think that american people see through this. every time donald trump gets indicted from now on, he is going to see an increase in fundraising i think what jack smith is doing is having unintended consequences for what their ultimate goal is and that is to take donald trump outlaw law or wound him grievously, wound him, force him to raise money or spend money to pay for all these legal bills. congressman, the indictment sounded at one point when you are reading it like they were describing some of the acts of the biden administration that you have been documenting, saying that faith -- because we see tha

jack smith knows exactly what he is doing. laurat, strikes me as the truth of the matter here, they are not going to stop until they get him going or get him coming. say this as somebody who is running against trump. i'm polling at third in the republican primary now it would be easier for me if donald trump were elim nateed from competition. that is not how any of us should want to win because that is bad for this country. that's why it's important for those of us con competing against trump to take a strong stand against these politicized indictments also why laura i'm sharing this now earlier this evening i followed suit against the doj following up on earlier foia requests trying to get to the bottom of what biden and merrick garland told jack smith. that is transparency the public really deserves here. i do not believe that this special vale of a special prosecutor is really as separate as they are making it out to be. i filed foia request in relation to the last case which, contrary to law, they rebuffed, did not respond in su

least it wasn't in 1968, 2000, 2004, 2016 when democrats objected. >> laura: or stacey abrams. >> unreal what merrick garland and jack smith are doing here, they are leading america to a very very dangerous place. >> laura: it was easy yesterday to kind of well, this is justda ridiculous and throw up your hands, this is typical. but the more i thought ohaf it, when ith really played it out in my end moo, you know, 10, 15 years fro0 now, this puts us on a collisior course with the real rule of laq and equal application of justice, the principles that really are the bedrock of ourpe country. tha >> laura, i hope people will play your monolog today, you hitey on the key points. for me as a criminal and civil rights lawyem for a long time, criminal rights lawyer and civil rights lawyer a for a long time. i do voting rights acts and ballot access work. she shelby county versus holder, and to try to get befort dc jury and for political reasons and no other reason. how dare they criminalize as you say disagreements over election practices. the election laws ini this country are in array for a number of reasons. one of the most el

smith. the doj would say we pursue justice without fear or favor. is he absolutely doing that. >> laurahe is not just unquestionably fair-minded he does cardio and weights. >> his aggressive approach to his personal health and exercise correlates to how he approaches his prosecution and his strategy. >> jack smith deliver donald trump's head as he sits in prison cell for last day. >> laura: these people should consider therapy at this point. the real jack smith is another attack dog in the kennel of anti-trump prosecutors trying to make a name for himself. the one person who counts most now is saying hey, hold your horses not so fast. cannon overseeing the trump's classified documents case slapped down the doj's patently absurd request to file motions under seal. can't have the people knowing anything about this. right? judge cannon is putting smith's team on the spot about its use of the a d.c. grand jury to gather evidence after it already indicted trump in florida using a grand jury in miami. while the case was brought, remember, in the miami federal district court, after all, so it

i do think, to laura's point about who's going to take a backseat to jack smith, feels to me like these indictments, the michigan one against the fake electors, the jack smith case, this one, they have their lanes. when you look at the michigan officials what they're talking about are very specific, michigan laws on the books in michigan to protect against election fraud, tampering with voting machines, things of that nature. so we will see what the georgia case looks like, but there is a reason that our system, especially our federal election system is decentralized. it used to be something that republicans were proud of, and that decentralized system is going to create a lane here for fani willis look specifically at the state of georgia, the laws on those books, and a charge more detailed crimes because reading the jack smith indictment, it is a pretty broad brush. they are dealing with federal crimes. in the state of georgia, i think you're going to be getting at a much more granular level and that is why i don't think there's going to be as much conflict as people might think about

our struggles with our democracy, but part of what's remarkable about it is what jack smith doesn't do because to laura's point about his speech on the ellipse, trump's speech on the ellipse, smith doesn't charge the speech on the ellipse. he has to talk about january 6th. he has to talk about the violence. that's the end game. how does he do it? he said trump exploited the violence. he talks about 2:24 p.m. pence tweet targeting pence and then the ways that trump allowed the violence to further his scheme, including the calls that came in from the co-conspirators on that day to push forward even through the violence with the rest of the thing of the it's very subtle and it side steps a huge amount of first amendment litigation. it's another reason that i think this is going to move fast. >> so he department want anything to complicate the case and that would have really complicated -- >> like the co-conspirators. >> would have complicated it. >> as you said, gloria, our country has a right to know. >> the co of conspirators, just to point out, they're co of con spiritors, not cited as defendants. at lea

amna: white house correspondent laura barron lopez has been following all of this and joins us here. as we mentioned, jack smithn following two lines of investigation, the january 6 probe being one of them. remind us how we arrived at this moment. laura: in november of last year was when the special counsel jack smith was named by attorney general merrick garland as being the one who would oversee these probes, the one into the classified documents at mar-a-lago, and this, the investigation into the former president's efforts to subvert the 2020 election, overturn the 2020 election, what he potentially did to obstruct proceedings in congress, and all the potential conspirators that he worked with to do that. so since then, the special counsel has interviewed a number of people that could potentially have information about what exactly the president did, what he knew, what he tried and how he tried to exert influence. some of those are his own vice president mike pence who we know testify to the grand jury. we also know brad raffensperger, the georgia secretary of state, testified and we know that recent reports

. >> laura: good for catherine herridge while jack smith wants to move expeditiously so donald trumpan be hobbled during an election year, do we expect weiss will have the same sense of urge? don't bet on it. >> i've never seen a criminal case follow this strange path, five years, a u.s. attorney from a prior administration, a plea agreement seemed like it was about to wrap everything up and now fallen apart in dramatic fashion and from here it's very unclear where we go next. >> laura: what is clear, i think, though, is that this move was meant to protect joe biden, which his allies in congress and the media wanted to be sure to point out. >> not a sin tell a of evidence that he did anything wrong and mr. weiss has not surfaced any such evidence because there is none. you know, my constituents aren't asking about it. >> it is top of mind for a lot of constituents. >> laura: when cnn is calling out their lame defenses, you know that the bidens are in trouble which is what obama's old architect david action rod alluded to. >> i'm sure this didn't land all that well over at the white h

. >> laura: mark meadows was not mentioned in the jack smith indictment.the atlanta federal indictment, but mentioned as a co-defendant in the rico conspiracy by fani willis. he has now moved to change the venue to federal district court out of fulton county. is that a legitimate claim he has here given the parallel tracks they are moving in with smith and willis? >> i think it is a very viable claim. it's certainly not frivolous. it is legitimate. it is based on a federal statute that says if you sue or indict at the state level, somebody based upon their actions in federal office, that can be grounds for removal. i think that is a very valid point to raise and it can be raised by president trump, as well. if you will notice, that is one reason that willis added charges from september of 2021, so she could say this goes beyond when he was president. clearly the bulk of abivity alleged against the former president, based on his activity in office. i think it is quite possible. >> laura: sol, you can indict presidents for lying and lawyers for giving aggres

>> well, laura, it's really interesting with all the criticism that the bias in washington. jack smithd the very anniversary for the trial of the january sixth riots for a trial in the city where it occurred. it almost invites a prejudicial impact on the trial. so i think it's a very unfortunate choice. and it's occurring right before these primaries. >> well, and i will just add something that's not a legal point here but also, it's almost like let's ruin his holiday, too. i mean, i have been in enough trials. january 2nd is not a common choice for a trial to take place. professor, thank you. good to have you don't. and now it's time for our political pallet cleanser. ♪ ♪ >> laura: now, check out the moment that a legally blind boy cease his parents clearly for the first time. hey, bubby. >> look at that handsome boy. >> hey. >> >> laura: if that doesn't make you smile, what a handsome young man. all right. coming up. don't you wish there was some way to just get over traffic? i mean, fly over it? well, that may be reality sooner than you think. today i checked out one car that can ac

with judge tanya chutkan, jack smith and this 95% trump deranged jury pool. >> laura: sol, do you thinks possible to get a fair jury outcome for donald trump in d.c. and with a d.c. jury? i think it's virtually impossible if there is ever a case that called for change venue. forget about the judge. just because of. >> laura: out of d.c. >> the jury panel in d.c., i think that would have. unfortunately the law have bad on this. part of the ruling is was that they didn't have to move the enron trial out of houston. it's going to be very tough to do it. >> laura: yeah, i don't think they have will win on that one. sol and mike as always, thank you. as they desperately work to get trump off the ballot. they are also working on another contingency plan. this plan b, c or d i lost track. making sure is he in court long enough that he basically won't be able to campaign. the judge on trump's january 6th case just set a trial date as i said earlier on march 4th of 2024. that day sounds kind of familiar it's the same day the georgia d.a. fani willis wanted so she got what she wanted why is that

laura? >> so much more to unpack about that. i want to play more, by the way of what jack smith said tonight. >> the u.s.apitol on january 6th are heroes. they're patriots and they are the very best of us. they did not just defend a building or the people sheltering in it, they put their lives on the line to defend who we are as a country and as a people. they defended the very institutions and principles that define the united states. >> one of the people trying to hold that line is cnn law enforcement analyst and former d.c. metropolitan police officer michael fanone. michael fanone, i'm so glad you're here tonight. i'm wondering what you have been thinking about all of this. what is going through your head tonight after this indictment came down? >> when i first learned about the indictment, i had a long conversation with a friend of mine, ryan reilly. and i told him how proud i felt to be an american at that moment, much in the way that i did when i learned that our military had killed osama bin laden. i just felt incredibly proud. incredibly proud -- >> i'm sorry, i don't want to cut you off, why th

. >> and, laura, i got to ask you about the breaking news involving the special counsel jack smith seeking this protective order after trump posted this threat on truth social. this was just several hours ago this evening when trump posted, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. but the special counsel jack smith, he is really making it clear here and going to the judge and alerting the judge to this that, hey, we're not going to put up with this. >> it is absolutely prudent for a prosecutor that is worth their salt to understand the importance of ensuring their witnesses, co-defendants, anyone who may be involved, a judge, jury, et cetera, that they are not going to be compromised and intimidated or even have the prospect of that happening. so it is prudent to alert the judge to the possibility that this might be an issue. now, there are those who will have two sides of the same opinion. one will say, hold on. that's a very vague statement. he didn't identify a specific person. he didn't call someone out. so is this a lot of much ado about nothing? on the other side of that is well, it

the donald trump's newest criminal defense lawyer john laura should not have been saying on television. i didn't even get to the ones that jack smith used in his pleading today. >> yeah, it beggars the imagination, why is this lawyer, and an entire legal, team, constantly on television? i understand for some of them who are legal spokespeople, they're going to do a lot of cable tv hits. but if you're the lawyer who's going to be going before the judge for all of these motions, for the trial itself, you know the governments tracking what you are saying, and you are getting asked to comment on the specifics, the substance of your trial strategy, and you revealing details. i something i don't understand what they're doing other than donald trump likes to see his lawyers counterpunching on cable news. but it's gonna come back to bite them, just like donald trump's own comments publicly, and campaign events, on tv, have already come back to bite him, not only as these criminal prosecutions, but even in the civil trials with e. jean carroll. this is not a wise legal strategy. it is possibly a good political one, which is ultimately their

smith. he's had very little this, week but he said speedy trial. they were keyed in on this. john laurawas speaking to nbc this morning, said you waited two and a half years and now you want a speedy trial, trying to have that both. ways why do you care so much about the timing? i've said before, the new york case may or may not be significant to people, you can debate it. but there is a world where that case goes to trial and he loses before the election and he is not put in prison, which means it doesn't have, for him, a material effect on. it other people might be embarrassed, other people might care in the voting booth. but it doesn't physically change the way this. currently we're all squared off on that. when they will be arguing is, all this granary material, this wide-ranging investigation, doj said it was one of their largest. when you take it all together, it means they will need more time to deal with. it the question is, yes, but how much time? >> you said today, -- very intent by, time you talked about this. sort of setting, the seat in the argument. >> i exit. >> you tweet

jack smith is considering a far wider scope and only one defendant at this time. i do think they are overlapping in facts. >> lauraes that if republicans narrow the field, we will beat trump. what evidence is there if you go head to head, when you look at these polls, that he's at 42% in iowa, 40 points ahead of his closest competitor in the national poll of polls, that if it's one on one that they'll have a better chance. >> the republican strategists in battle grounds don't have any real confidence that candidates are going to want to drop out and that there is any type of coordinated effort to select someone who will take on trump directly. you see donors starting to slowly drift away from ron desantis because they aren't happy with his performance. there's some talk about entertaining someone who can jump in last minute like a glenn youngkin from virginia or kemp from georgia but, again, there is no coordinated effort by republicans across the board to make this happen and it remains to be seen that it will happen. >> what i don't see is the evidence that let's say you narrow it down to one person. trump is th

smith. and i think jim jordan is going to get to the bottom of that. >> laura: sol, are you that helpful? help -- hopeful? >> he certainly has the power. congress has broad power to investigate if there is a legislative purpose. what i find quite shocking and almost unprecedented is you have now got the state and the federal authorities going after each other and, again, i don't think that's an area -- it's very rare to have a house committee investigating a state prosecutor. we saw some of this when i was working for ken starr where bill clinton got his allies in state government in arkansas to actually go after some of our key witnesses. it's a very dangerous thing. it's a bad thing when that happens because people have to have faith in the criminal justice system. and so, i'm worried about it. and i think he has every right to look into this, jim jordan. >> laura: all right. legal. stand by. we are going back to our political panel now. mollie, fani willis is pushing for the first trial in this to be october 23rd of mr. cheese burrow. so he looks like where does this tell you it might

. >> laura: is there any way, jonathan, this motion, not just on part of meadows, but others working in a federal capacity, it could be moved to federal court, given the dual track with jack smithlot of same claims are covered on a state level. >> jonathan: it is possible, we are living in uncertain and interesting times, which itself is a curse. there are issues here that president trump will raise. some actions occurred, when he was president. some of the conversations that are cited occurred in the oval office, some occurred with his associates. in some ways, willis may have tripped the wire here. i call this the jackson pollock school of prosecution, she threw everything against the canvas and looked to see if a picture emerge. this is a big conspiracy, every speech we cite. she tripped wire with regard to his time as president and that has created this question of whether it can be removed. >> laura: jonathan, that is big insult to jackson pollock, i respect you working him into the response. great to see you, thanks, jonathan. up next, ongoing tragedy in hawaii, so hard to watch, but is this joe biden's katrina moment? and tulsi gabbard updates us on the situation in maui

smith's bad theory that is going to get something overturned on appeal. this is one of the few cases right from exception it is going to the supreme court. >> laura: it better, better be resolved correctly. david and tim, that's it for us. don't forget to set your dvr so you don't miss us. jess watters is next. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters primetime tonight. >> i like to talk. i can do -- >> we don't discuss business at the table. >> we knew it, joe biden did eat dinner with hunter's dirty crew. >> this is a persecution of a political opponent, we can't let this happen in america. >> the trump indictment bac backfiring. >> no more waiting around. the tide is turning. and it's bear season. >> jesse: fox news alert, the full transcript of biden's former business partner, devon amper has just been released and it confirms everything that joe biden and the media have been lying to you about. archer testified not only did joe biden know about his son's foreign business but vice president joe biden sat at elegant dinners that lasted hours with his sons former clients and he knew exactly who they were. according to archer joe would enter the room and shake e

smith and the weaponize system of justice. former virginia evan or bob mcdonnell. wait until you hear his story. here with reaction first is host of lauratrump. i know that democrats, the mob and the media say that is what about vase -ism. what about is whether we have equal justice under the law and equal application of the law. why wasn't chappaqua and hillary's office rated clad good? why wasn't penn delaware rated? two of biden's home rated? why does hunter get all this money admitting he has no experience with countries that often was the case that hate our guts. can you explain that? spent gosh, i wish i could, sean. it's really incredible to see this stuff happen. by the way, the clips of hillary clinton, while. let us never forget all of those. she led into that interview with rachel maddow, by the way, laughing. she was laughing about this last night. there is nothing funny about this. nothing funny about the erosion of our american values and the erosion of our constitution, about the weaponization of our systems. likes third world countries do against political opponents. nothing funny about our current president of the unite

laura ingraham really thinks when the cameras aren't on. i said it before, i will say it again, the truth matters, but only if you hear it. coming up, jack smith called law enforcement the defended the capitol patriots and the best of us. we will speak with former capitol police chief steven sund about trump's latest indictment and what that says about january six. later, with the new charges with trump matter for republican voters, the 11th hour just getting underway on an important wednesday night. i'm jayson. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. it helps keep me undetectable. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva is two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's really nice not to have to rush home and take a daily hiv pill. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop ca
