org, and i will also mention, i and ryan and michael canning a couple of months ago gave a presentationto a set of journalists, local journalists about how to think about campaign finance and how to use the tools here generally. it's very they're very enthusiastic about it. and i have since gotten some emails from from journalists saying, hey, what does this number mean? so. thank you. any other comments, mr. field? thank you for being here. thank you, public comment seeing no one in the room, mr. clerk, would you see if any remote callers on item eight? chair, if there are no callers? thank you. public comment on item eight is now closed. i now call agenda item nine. discussion on possible action on items for future meetings. does any commissioner wish to speak to this item, just one thing that occurred in response to the prior public caller. i would be interested to know what kind of training, resources we have for non-city folks. so nonprofits, city partners. i'm not sure if it's an agenda meeting item. maybe it's more just an informal conversation with me, so i'll leave that to staf

michael cohen can say whatever he wants but trump is gagged.hey are threatening to throughout the republican nominee for president in jail for talking. for talking during a election. i am not a lawyer, i just play one on tv, but according to the gag you could have of the loch ness monster as a junior in trump can't say trump is real. at that as a thousand dollars. boom right there. it is not fair and it is unconstitutional and it goes against everything that this country stands for. but it is benefiting the former president since the child started the chair who knew paula's out -- he is blowing joe biden away. just like the mug shot -- it is backfiring big time. >> harris: it is interesting what is being said about what anybody else can say when less than a mile from here you have hate speech off the church and it's not being dealt with at all. get off campus is a lot different than go to jail. speak to the unequal application is staggering and this has entered into the realm of punitive application a long time ago and you are right it is uncon

this whole trial is proceeding in a highly irregular way and i think the fact that michael cohen can say what he wants to say and we can't really respond shows how absurd this whole process has been. >> martha: how difficult will it be for the trump attorneys to discredit hear him? what can they say about michael cohen's outside dealings and the rest of this story when they cross-examine him? >> i think michael cohen will have a full and vigourous cross-examination by the team that will get into many aspects and we think that will ultimately be persuasive because the facts are totally on president trump's side on this case. >> martha: thank you very much. trump attorney and we will be watching that one closely as well. thank you. it to have you here today. >> thanks a lot. >> martha: we are monitoring these protests that are happening across the country as college campuses become hotbeds for a lot of forceful protesting, anger, name-calling, pushing in some cases against some of the jewish students on these campuses. it's a very un-american feeling in america. watch.

it can stablize your blood sugar. >> george: no more bread basket first? >> save that for dessert. [ laughter ] >> michael-- exactly. that potentially could be everyone. again, it has to work for you. >> robin: is there anything that can go against this? >> i'm going to tell you, you have to go back to the anatomy and physiology. i have something to show you for this. when you eat, we have to remember, in your stomach it all gets mixed together. it's nice to say, you know, have the good fiber then go to the protein, like some turkey, and then finish up with bread. but your stomach is not come partmentalized like this. your stomach is compartmentalized like this. right? so we don't want to make this into a science experiment. eating should be enjoyable, fun. there is some science behind it, but it takes about two to four hours for an average person's stomach to empty. when it's all in there together -- >> george: i'm not hungry at all now. [ laughter ] >> there you go, george. >> michael: wow. what a visual, doc. [ laughter ] >> you'll never think of your stomach the same way again. >> george: thank you, i

michael wahn can say whatever he wants and trump cannot speak back. >> laura: they were reporting forrces have to be inside the trump campaign or telling them expect lots of sidebars and preservation of issues on appeal that they are going to preservee preserve, preserve going into trial becaus e they think they have ain very strong case on the underlying unfairness, again, the overbreadth of gag order making up federal campaign finance violation as andy mccarthy says.mp noait trying to enforce financei law but actually making it up. that is quite an accomplishmente bragg, good job here at [applause] speak with the legal system is on trial as well atrs donald trial. again, the legal system on tria inth front of the whole world fr the first time in american history, we are putting a present to my former president and canada on a criminalseas trial during the me of the campaign season and basie judge is saying if you miss one day of trial i will hold>> l you in contempt and hold you in jail? >> laura: how dodo we not look like tin-pot dictatorship. we will explore our values abroad and

michael, can we start with this article? you took my doors off.e rallies, met his supporters, this is different than the trump rallies of 2016. what do we need to know about trump and this new strain of christianity and trumpism? >> yeah, thanks. i think they're sort of a bigger picture here and a more narrow one. when it comes to trumps rallies, what is different here is over the past year or so, he is been refining the end of these rallies. we've all known for a long time, as a kind of volatile off script kind of rock concert show, and now, there's a very big in the last 10 or 15 minutes, there's a very somber, ambient music that fills the event. and trump talks in a kind of whispering voice and a tightly scripted kind of creed of the political movement that he is leading upon conservatives. and his followers here have become effectively his congregation. so they will bow their heads, or hold their folded hands close to their chest. as if they are praying. along with trump. and i think what this shows is how he is really -- demanding -- you know

but the idea that michael cohen can be out there talking about the case on tv and that former presidentmp can't comment on it with his liberty at stake to me is a classic first amendment problem. >> laura: yeah. where is the aclu? are they saying anything about this? sol and mike, thank you both. all right. the big question now is what should trump be doing as he moves forward and he challenges that he should preserve as, perhaps, in the future he will appeal various rulings, if that's even possible. joining me now is chris landau former scalia and thomas clerk. former ambassador to mexico. what's the best legal strategy here given what you've seen thus far? they have selected some of the jurors. they have five more to go. this is moving faster than a lot of people thought. >> yeah, laura, i would say this is a pretty target-rich environment in terms of potential issues for appellate review and reversal. you know, one of the crazy things about this is that basically alvin bragg, as mike davis just said, the soros funded d.a. in new york has inflated, you know, misdemeanor charges into f

i think michael can elaborate on that for us deeply, but this is why we have a free society, because we can have correspondents that can report what's actually going on because we can't all be there. look, this person traveled from florida. and i have worked these cases where people strap bombs on themselves, they blow themselves up, they kill themselves. fire, explosives, firearms. we were also involved in that with atf, and i think you saw atf agents on the scene because they're the government's bomb and arson experts. people do this to themselves but the point here is the person traveled from florida all the way to the trump trial. this is not connected to trump, it has really nothing to do with him. i read all his writings he posted. it's nonsensical, as yasmin clearly reported. it doesn't make sense. he named every politician, every hollywood person, every billionaire, every person on the news, every name he can think of. he tied them all together in some crackpot conspiracy theory. he's a disturbed person. it doesn't make any sense. i think the good part of that, though, is hop

michael can have bubbles but you can't, how about that. >> we partied with bubbles. [ laughter ] >> jimmy, bubbles is still around. every once in a while i think about him -- >> he's on tour? >> jimmy: he lives in florida, i think he lives near legoland in florida. you should go by, reminisce. you mentioned "slippery when wet." >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: i remember this so well. i remember reading about this controversy. >> yeah. >> jimmy: maybe i saw it on "entertainment tonight" or something like that. >> there it is, yeah. >> jimmy: this was the album cover. >> that could have been. >> jimmy: that could have been. this is -- this was rejected for content reasons, yes? >> i would have called it career suicide, but yes. >> jimmy: yeah. this, true or false? the model is former speaker of the house nancy pelosi? [ laughter ] >> i can neither confirm nor deny. >> jimmy: so then they said, okay, you can't do that, not allowed. >> this is in an era before there was such thing as the computer. there was no fax machines. there was no fed ex. there was no cell phones. we're in vancouver making this

broken stock, got to have patience >> yes and broken company, you got to sell next, let's go to michael. canesting four our children or grandchildren. that would be helpful. >> there is a time when i would say buy disney i find disney troubling. you have to buy cereal stocks. try to put something on the breakfast table or the dinner table, campbell's soup but i think a younger person should own technology, a really super growth stock so i'm thinking maybe drug stocks, high growth drug stocks, or maybe what you do is you try to find some kind of new technology that would be really exciting years from now. that might be. >> i think you want to use companies with a lot of products and services that the young children will use every single day, because that's a great way for them to learn not only about the company, but if they have an investment in that company, it's a great way to get started with investing too. and it's never too early to get started with investing >> i think that's terrific advice and yeah, i do think that this is fine. it's just that it's no longer the way. >> apple, amazon

the young victor, you know, orders the shows and things like nations, but also they can stop that issue chip with michael. they can eliminate some of the agreements with these guys. they can do is if the why really celia, in the study this genocide goes on, i guess a n g a. so far they are not going to do that. and i do believe that the old colonialism with them that and you've gone yet many guys and civilians have been subject to brutal abuse, allegedly including sexual violence and torture well, and is rarely military detention as, according to a new report from the un refugee agency for palestine, which has released some harrowing testimonies of survivors. detainees reported ill treatment during the different stages of the detention released detainees included, men and women children owed to persons, persons with disabilities and the injured in sick, all of whom were subjected to similar forms of ill treatment. a message of ill treatment reported by dead chinese included physical beatings, threats of physical hum, insults and humiliation. such as being made to act like animals or getting your engaged

danny alluded to the notion you got to keep the jury entertained and if there is one thing na michael cohen can do is entertain. he loves the spotlight. as a witness, he has substantive value and stylistic value for the prosecution in as much as right now the conversations about the transactions, the bank records, this bank account, the first republic, not the most scintillating testimony, but michael cohen is someone who can potentially serve as a bridge for the prosecution and inject a little bit of life in terms of their presentation in front of the jury. it would not be a terrible idea to have him come on the stand and get him out of the way in terms of his testimony, not to mention we know that his cross examination is going to be excruciating with respect to the defense's attacks on his credibility. getting through that in such a way that it doesn't leave a lasting impression in front of the jury from being one of the last witnesses that you hear from before they conclude their case in chief is something that the prosecution has to be mindful of. you don't want to have a witness like mich

this will be everyday except wednesday. >> lawrence: any legal reason why stormy daniels and michael cohen candonald trump is gagged in this case? >> purely unethical, unlawful b based on application, it is one thing to issue a gag order in a criminal case, done typically to protect the defendant rather than the government, but to do it and allow some ability to talk and others is biassed decision-making by a judge. >> assuming trump abides by the gag evorder, i assume he will n, he is a master. he walks out and sees a bank of cameras and he doesn't need to talk about the case. he will take advantage of that. and it is going to be, it -- >> brian: he will talk about the case, you know him. >> he will, as well. and do it in pig latin and talk about whatever else he wants to talk about, he will take advantage of cameras and people will tune in, this will be better than the o.j. trial. people will tune in to see what hilarious stuff he has to say. >> the plan was to utilize multiple prosecutors to take down donald trump. that fear is likely in their eyes, a good strategy. it changes when you get

michael, what can you say about importance the results of investigative journalism into the havana syndrome, and how it might change narratives in the west and among the intelligence community. importantly, we have ... been able to demonstrate convincing, albeit not direct, evidence that members of the gru unit 2915, the kremlin's most notorious squad of assassins and saboteurs, were in the same locations where the attacks, now known as the ggavan syndrome, took place. or abnormal health effects. in addition, we had another piece of evidence that we found, which is an appendix to the report, which prepared by colonel ivan terentiv, a member of unit 2915, which works for the russian ministry of defense. this report is a research paper. the article deals with the possibilities of using non-lethal acoustic weapons in the conditions of an urban combat environment. there is other evidence that we have that in 2010 the russians were experimenting with sonic weapons, non-lethal sonic weapons. look, we don't have physical evidence. we have no evidence or photos of a device literally shooting someon

corroborating michael cohen. you canieve michael cohen when he says that he took $130,000 line of credit and he created this llc and then he wired it to mr. davidson. why? because mr. pharaoh explained how and mr. davidson explained how. miss daniels explained how. it's very important to put all of these people to corroborate michael cohen. outline the conspiracy to promote donald trump's election by unlawful means which is what the prosecution theory is for that additional crime that would elevate the falsifying business records to a felony. he is very important. he negotiated with michael cohen. >> vaughn, going from what catherine mentioned, has there been any sightings of stormy daniels today outside of the courthouse? >> reporter: no, not at this point in time. we have received no word about stormy daniels being seen. she's been public about her documentary that was released on peacock just about a month ago here ahead of this trial. outside of that, she has had social media posts, but we have not seen her publicall

second video comes from former lawyer and current contract michael avenatti. how canmight michael. i brett brian wants to speak looking ahead to 2020 the 1 reason i'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news. that aged about as well as hairline waistline and jawline. avenatti called into msnbc to discuss trump's hush money trail and he actually spoke the truth. hit it. >> i don't think he can get a fair trial in new york, into the people who claim in fact he can get a fair trial in new york withew york jury i would ask if they were to go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow and find out that the case had been moved to mississippi or alabama where they still think the trial was going to be fair, and i think of there being honest they would answer no. so i don't think you can get a fair trial in new york. >> i agree with michael avenatti. that feels weird. you know if they say even a broken clock that rides to fame it is eventually convicted of fraud and sentenced to 14 years is right twice a day. okay adam. he sounds like he might

but i think michael cohen undermines michael cohen because he's rich with all sorts of material you canhe things he says, his the intent, his motive, his change of story, his own convictions. if you recall at one point trump said you shouldn't be able to testify michael cohen because of your history and what you've found to misrepresent. that's not how the law works. you can cross examine him but can't preclude him. also the prosecution is not putting it solely on michael cohen's shoulders. it's not the michael cohen opportunity. it's beyond and more. >> you can see already from the list of witnesses this is not going to be just michael cohen although he'll certainly figure largely in it. it does seem just reading the tea leaves, donald trump does not want this trial to start, right? i think every single day this week and it's only wednesday, he has filed a request to stay the trial for some different reason each day, and he's been summarily rejected each and every time. how unusual is that? >> to have an article 78 this way is unusual. >> it's basically a -- >> challenging the judge's

. >> but michael, can you explain how it happens now? so, you approach someone who is selling, you ask if they have-right now on mission street nobody can vend, so they have to leave, but let's say before or after the moratorium, you approach someone vending and ask for oo permit, and they don't have a permit, you say then you cannot vend and you have to leave. they pack up and leave. later that day you see them again on the street with the stuff and say we have already gaveen given a warning or gave a warning and remove the items is that correct? >> if we are out there and someone has been ammonished-they have been warned and the interaction is like, i told you, you have been issued a warning, i'm now impounding your goods and if you want to have a opportunity to claim them, here is a notice of violation and impound law that gives you the opportunity to contest the enforcement action and reclaim the goods if they have the receipts. >> what if you give someone a warning today and then tomorrow you see them again? >> i believe the guidance

michael cohen can talk on his podcast and the former president cannot say anything. what do you make of the gag order? >> i think it's unconstitutional unilateral. michael cohen is a witness in this case and if the idea is we don't want to take the jury pole, you don't want to intimidate witnesses, why wasn't the gag order imposed on all of the witnesses? trump is the one who's on trial. he should have a right to defend himself is the point. let me say this, this case should have been stayed pending trump's appeal of that gag order. the first amendment is a pivotal constitutional right that he's been deprived of. i've never seen a gag order like this. >> the supreme court heard the immunity case for the former president. the headline here from the wall street journal, the supreme court focuses on the presidency not trump. he goes on to say oral arguments aren't always a signal of ruling but it sounds as if a majority is... that are part of his official duties. the key then is distinguishing between official and private actions and the justices may send the case back t

the reason why this is important is because michael cohen can do media interviews and say whatever he wants without consequences because he is not under perjury, and so that is problem number one. number two is as we speak, prosecutors are currently trying to get the judge to hold trump in contempt for violating his gag order. it's only applicable to the witnesses so he can talk about the judge also other people but not the witnesses. to your point, harris, the start witness is hinged on one person who is a known liar, it makes it frustrating for a defendant cannot talk about it. >> harris: she predicted this and it happened less than 24 hours later. she shot it coming. trump is in a box. and i wonder if americans realize what is happening? how would you describe it? >> rachel: i think they do. to your point about the election interference, they are trying to put donald trump at the same speed as joe biden. they want to tie them up in court and make sure he cannot do valleys until 9:00 at night because he has to be in court al day. they are trying to demoralize him by saying you canno

for stating what is on his mind but michael cohen can say anything he wants. >> that is what is at the heart of a lot of this. the trial has caption the attention of america. trump is a leading republican candidate for president and there are huge first amendment issues at stake. it seems anomalous when you see trump's speech being restricted whereas other people connected in the case are free to say what they want on whatever topic they want. >> thank you for that. they have wrapped up the session today. they did not have activity yesterday. donald trump might say something, he might not. i am sure "the five" will be on top of that because "the five" is next. >> jesse: hello, everybody. it is 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." ♪ ♪ we have our jury. the judge announcing we have 12 jurors and one alternate seated after another whirlwind day of jury selection in trump's hush money trial. we still need five alternates. two jurors were excused. one said they could not be impartial after swearing they could and the judge says opening statements are expected monday. trump was seen

against the prosecution, but i think what they want to do is bring this back to michael cohen as much as they possibly can, and example after example, they're just getting started. for example when david pecker was concerned about violating campaign finance laws, so michael cohen says, oh, don't worry about it, donald trump has jeff sessions, the attorney general in his pocket. well, that was so false, i think they're going to come back and show not only was jeff sessions the attorney general not in trump's pocket, but they had a terrible relationship and sessions recused himself in the mueller investigation, and one thing after another, i think they're going to try and bring this back to michael cohen and away from david pecker. >> jessica, we've heard so many other names come out in the prosecution's questioning of david pecker, but also in the defense cross where they've got him to talk about all these other stories they did that were not related to trump or stories that they quashed that could have been embarrassing for other famous people, again, not named trump. is the goal there to try to paint thi

it does not make a difference of michael cohen can basically say whatever he wants. the goal is to hurt trump's chances. the public realizes, but that's the whole goal of this proceeding. >> harris: now let's go to jonathan turley, law professor at george washington university. fox news contributor. leo terrel and i were reacting in real time. and today, it is wednesday. what goes through your mind as you say what's going to happen with the gag order? >> he's going to find him in violation of the gag order. they are not really contesting that much about the statements the president made, but the order itself. the problem is the scope of the order. i agree with that. you can have a gag order that limits what you say about aspects of the trial, but extending to someone like michael cohen, it is just facially ridiculous. you've got michael cohen going on the air every night, not just opposing the president in this trial, but in the campaign. even after he testifies, the president cannot respond to him, so all these networks constantly have him on, and somehow he is in t

the reason that's especially important in this situation is because michael cohen can go on tv and do media interviews and say whatever he wants without consequence because he is not under penalty of perjury. something he would know having been convicted of that before. so that's a problem number one. number two, as we seek, prosecutors are trying to get the judge to hold trump in contempt for violating his gag order. that gag order is only applicable to the witnesses. he can talk about the judge and talk about bragg but not the witnesses. to your point, harris, when the star witness, the case -- the entire case hinging upon this one person is a known liar it makes it frustrating for a defendant not to be able to talk about. >> harris: the first time i sat down with president trump in the roosevelt room at the white house was the day after michael cohen was sentenced for lying because that's what he does. he is a professional liar. would you as an attorney want this guy to testify? >> no. that's a terrible witness to put on the stand. then you have to look at what the actual charges a

>> sean: you had before your committee at some point if i'm not mistaken and the issue of -- michael cohen canno -- and led six different times. reading -- michael cohen even said and their oath -- all kind of people called me on that one but yet it is this witness -- and meanwhile, of course, i think the phishing alvin bragg is not prosecuting about guys in that city who are doing so much harm to residents are there in manhattan not prosecuting the real criminals. instead be political going after president trump but, sean, this started years ago. despite on his campaign. there was -- then it was robert mueller carolyn it was impeachment then they read his home, than it is special council, counts -- and dc than it's money was in atlanta that is alvin bragg calendar tried the 14th amendment another trying is trial a gag order telling her wandering was -- but he's going to win because the people see through it. >> ♪ ♪ be do i have to tell you, like everything else, watching this backfire and will interface. that will be my prediction. thank you, jim jordan. appreciated. renting talked for this s

about their problems and what they say happened, they can be believable and can overcome those credibility issues. both michael cohen can too, depending on how he testifies. he's got a lot more credibility issues than david pecker. >> i think some may be surprised to learn through this process that paparazzi were being sent to meetings when there was no interest in it. and maybe that the -- you know, martians maybe weren't real. interesting also to see, vaughn, how right now there is that attempt by the defense to damage the credibility of david pecker, specifically on things he said about donald trump and whether donald trump thanked him or did not thank him. >> right, that january 2017 meeting that we're talking about at trump tower when we were -- first got on the show, jose, in which david pecker testified that he went to trump tower there, and just after a meeting that donald trump had with the likes of james comey, reince priebus and sean spicer there, two weeks before he was sworn in as president, david pecker replaced all the individuals and had testified this week that that is where donald trump had t

and i think that's -- michael cohen can tell you a lot about that. you sort of wonder what the future holds if he is elected again. it's scary to think -- i think there was also another charge related to this that the fec was looking at trump and that charge was dropped as well. it's a small miracle this case has ended up in a courtroom. >> to your point, tim, he also called michael cohen a rat, posted that after michael cohen did the right thing and came forward and followed the law. >> yeah. i'm sorry, laughing. he called michael cohen a rat. donald trump is chance cagney in a 1930s, you know, crime movie. >> yeah. >> there is this tragic comic and cartoonish aspect through all of this. you know, loyalty is a one-way street in donald trump's world. if anyone doesn't sing to his tune, he regards it as a betrayal. he's afraid of michael cohen. >> he should be. >> very realistic opening statements on monday. maybe witness testimony as soon as tuesday. i don't think the case is going to take that long. i think it might be over in just a few weeks. >> f

is being punished for sharing an article from andy mccarthy, a former federal prosecutor on michael cohen canake a living with facebook revenge or podcasts trashing trump all day long, or stormy daniels can defy court order where she owned trump money. but trump cannot respond? you look at the fact that the judge is a democrat donor. these downgrade felonies and misdemeanors try to elevated to a felony -- you look at the jury, more than half of those say that they cannot be impartial. there is one person who follows the anti-trump account. so sparingly with the threats to democracy. you are the threat to democracy. >> harris: okay, we're just going to leave that smashed microphone waited.

and in one sense, yes, michael cohen can be viewed as damaged goods, but in another sensuous -- sense, he's going to be corroborated. why is he damaged? he is damaged in large part because he was telling lies to help donald trump stay out of hot water. that is actually the kind of weakness on the credibility front that prosecutors can turn into a strength. he was lying for donald trump. he has now come clean and is testifying against donald trump and he is corroborated in a number of ways. >> danny you were shaking your head when we were listening to that avenatti sound. >> michael cohen is maybe somebody who has credibility issues, but there are going to be documents in this case. and together with michael cohen with his lack of credibility, what are it may be, his story may match up to the documents in a way that the defense's theory won't work. and by the way, prosecutors, especially prosecutors like glenn know when they use cooperating witnesses they may have credibility issues. they plan for that. i am such a glenn kirschner fan i can cite his block that he uses in closing, and i

at what's going on to what god just said, former president trump is sitting with a gag order michael cohen can tweet out a tax on trump. what you make of this? there's no gag order on him. >> it goes too far from a clear violation of the first amendment rights but you talk about having affairs jury, in a normal situation out agree you have no problem finding 12 people ordinarily who would throw the case out as fast as they get but this is manhattan the best of times, four years ago donald trump only got 12% of the vote. a lot of people who might otherwise i sympathetic have led to other states like florida so i imagine the demographics are different now. i just don't know that you will get 12 people to unanimously agree to acquit donald trump. if i were defending him, i would be focusing on one or two or maybe three jurors i think be there and i would pray for a mistrial because that's probably considered a win in the book of donald trump with regard to t this. >> even if he loses, he could appeal it and he could still run for u.s. president -- he could appeal it, we don't know. >> but -- pinn

will tell you right now, it would make a difference if the gag order is unconstitutional or if michael cohen canasically say whatever he wants. the goal is to hurt trump chances to win this election. the public realizes with but it's the goal of this proceeding. >> harris: the part that caught my ear is how do you put somebody in jail for future violations. that's a nation not run by a president, not even a dictator, but a terrorist. >> harris, i have never in my 35 years of practicing law seen any legal proceeding such as the one we're witnessing right now. again, they want to do -- they want not only this case but other cases to go after trump. we talked about it before and i apologize. this is all to hurt trump politically and they will do anything. this judge, i think he is compromised and quite interesting to see his ruling on gag order. >> harris: you think the judge is compromised? >> he is compromised because he should have been recused from this case. he was placed in this position to inflict this type of political damage to trump and i will tell you right now, he cannot be impartial gi

michael cohen can be out there saying anything he wants.s out there every day trashing donald trump yet the defendant who should be afforded all the rights in this case is afforded no rights they are trying to gag him not only of his first amendment right but fun to -- from defending himself. a gag order is for jurors not to here anything, not to be influenced, at these jurors are told not to watch the news, not to listen to anything. if the judge had a problem with the jurors he should have sequestered them and he did not do that yet he's trying to, the president. >> trace: what is your take on the supreme court and the presidential immunity hearing tomorrow? >> i think it's very important and i think president trump should be sitting there. this judge is preventing president trump from actually respecting the supreme court justices. he's the plaintiff in the case. from sitting there in the highest court of the land. the supreme court will make a decision. they can either decide there's no immunity. they can decide there is absolute immuni
