the political future at th university of southern california and political analysts at msnbc, michell goldberg times columnist and msnb contributor. thank you both for joining us. michelle, watching these republican candidates just get themselves into gordian knots, fall into word salads when trying to expand our positions on these very extreme abortion laws, i am at once, no surprised but on the other hand, they had months. you could see this coming, lik a mack truck on the highway, and there is no coherent response from a gop candidate. >> i am thinking of a couple o things first of all, people convinced them selves that this is going away, or that the pro-choice site was overstating what th reaction was going to be they've convinced themselves that they represent, quote unquote, the people. when they find out that they'r on the wrong side of publi opinion, they flow around. the other thing is that, the are in this bind because the can't get too far from the 1 positions, given how rapid their base is, particularly, the ones that are planning primaries against donald trump they're all trying

joining us now is new york times columnist author in msnb contributor, michelle goldberg michelle, sohe transcript, what was said in court today, riveting an extraordinary and distressing. one of the most sort o excruciating exchanges but als in lightning was e. jean carroll's description of how she thought about this, what she calls rape, in the moments after it happened. for people who haven't rea this, i want to read thi description in this exchange between her and mr. tacopina carroll testified she though that trump was going to, w were in a laundry part o bergdorf bergman, and sh thought trump was gonna try on the grand jury himself she thought was a funn interaction. and then everything change when they get to the dressin room and that's where she says trum raped her. and then miss carroll says o the stand, i was going to tell my friend lisa the story, whic i thought was hilarious, and i got to the point where i had t tell lisa that trump pulle down my tights and before i said that, lisa had to tell me to stop laughing my mind i think i woul slightly disordered it disoriented. t

quote joining us now is ne york times columnist, michelle goldberg, michelle, great to see you. for being with us. let's first talk about what' happened in amarillo, texas, the federal judge, judge kaz merrick ruling - political in the way that it was brought, the group who brought it form them selves in amarillo where there's only one federal judge, it happens to be this guy, everything about hi background suggest how we woul have ruled on this thing and even in the ruling, he seemed to be giving cover to the plaintiffs that they weren't looking for. >> it's a shocking ruling. i also think, i've learned about -- the law that brought margare sanger, the law that sandr murder was arrested on a drug - d h lorenz i think it's worth noting that a good part of his ruling is about imposing the calm stoc act. a lot of people didn't bothe to repeal. they basically assumed anythin became a dead letter post fo roe v. wade. i also think it's a reminder that nobody in this countr under a post-dobbs regime, i doesn't matter if you live i the bluest city, blue is state your act is to reproduc

i think michelle goldberg is joining our coverage we are in breaking news. >> great renee bracy sherman is here. michelle, your reaction to the supreme court here >> well, i think it's a measure of how low this is in the supreme court that there was a question that this might go forward. this ruling is so egregious, it's so lawless, that he took it upon himself to overrule the fda and more than two decades of medical practice and so it just means it's going to be available for now. this case is still going to go forward. it's still going to be heard by the circuit court. and it's shocking that this wasn't a unanimous decision. but we know that at least some people on the supreme court are every bit as lawless as this judge is >> you're making the point that, as i mentioned, we say procedural, what we are saying is that this is not the ultimate outcome or resolution where it affects people's lives because i don't think most people care if you call it procedural or changes people's medical or personal decisions having said that, michelle, you're saying this is

joining us now is anothe witness to history yesterday michelle goldberg. r latest column in the new york times is titled, you coul have walked a block away and had no clue trump just got arrested michelle, thank you very muc for joining us we were thrilled to see your call today, because i just thought, people won't believ me that if you went down there there is nothing, and donald trump's lawyer told th following lie in court, saying that all of lorman hatton, which shut down today, telling the judge about not making donald trump come back her very often, because look at ho difficult it is. all of lower manhattan was shu down today exactly one section of one street was shut down yesterday it is just remarkable down there. >> if you don't mind, i want t correct you on one thing there actually has been building in new york cit changed because of donal trump. i'm pretty sure that the tenan or owners of one of hi apartment buildings or condo buildings demanded that hi name be taken off of it becaus of what it was doing to real estate prices. but yes, not only

. >> harry litman, former deputy assistant attorney general for the justice department michelle goldberg opinio columnist for the new york times who was inside the courtroom today. both join me now michelle, let me start wit you. you are there today. there's a lot of suspens during this pause. i don't think the announcement is shocking anyone how did they not do this sooner? what is your take away fro this announcement? in effect, they did settle >> i think it's not shocking but it is disappointing. there's been so much evidenc already unveiled through the course of this process about the utter cynicism and contemp with which fox news treated it audience and its journalisti responsibility there was a hope that a lo more would come out. to be honest, i was really curious about how fox wa possibly going to defend itself because the judge had really shut off every avenue of argumentation you could imagin fox news making. they were going to try to argu that they were reporting o newsworthy allegations by th president and his attorney the judge said he cannot d that did judge already rule tha

joining us now "the new york times" author and msnbc contributor michelle goldberg. d to see you. i found so much of and extraordinary and distressing, and one of the most sort of excruciating exchanges but also enlightening exchanges was e. jean carroll's description of how she thought about this what she calls rape and the moments after it happened. i just wonder for people who haven't read this, i want to read this description and this exchange mr. her and mr. tacopina. now, carroll testified she thought trump was going to -- they were in the lingerie part and she thought mr. trump was actually going to try on the lingerie himself. she thought this was all a fupy interaction they were having, and then everything changes when they get to the dressing room. and that's where she says trump raped her. and then mrs. carroll said on the stand i was going to tell my friend lisa the story which i thought was hilarious, and then i got to the point i had to tell lisa trump pulled down my tights. and before i said that lisa had to tell me to stop laughing. in my mind i think

michelle goldberg, who was in wilmington, wrote: it is deeply disappointing that fox news settled the this public will be deprived for now. deprived, that is, of the 6-weak spectacle that the other networks would have covered virtually round the clock. now, dramatic settlement is a huge news story, i raced out to the report first with neil cavuto, then "special report," when some fox shows said they were bogus conspiracy theories. fox acknowledged if a statement the judge's findings that some on their comments about dominion were false and that dominion's ceo in more pejorative terms toll reporters that fox had lied. donald trump insisted and continues to say without proof almost two and a half years later that the election was rigged against him. this is all said to be one of the biggest defamation settlements in american history though the hundreds of millions of collars were far short of the $1.6 billion sought by anyone on, and the company held it up as a form of accountability. by the way, dominion lawyer steven shackleford said on msnbc, quote, we can't make fox news report on t

joining me now is congresswoma gwen moore of wisconsin an michelle goldberg, columnist for the new yorky profiled the race for the new york times and i will start with you, michelle your piece was very extensive, and it explained mr. kelly ver well how extreme is this guy? >> well, look, he was named in the january 6th, and in one of the depositions, wisconsin republican party officials sai that he was part of extensiv discussions about this fak electors scheme. he is about, as you said, he's been campaigning with, you know, somebody with a pastor who calls will, calls the murder o abortion doctors justifiable homicide he's been campaigning with a stop the steal activist. he is, you know, kind of a far-right as you can get and i spoke to people who ha served with him on the wisconsin supreme court, and they were pretty unvarnished i their attempt for him, and i the certainty that he will vot right down the line with the republican party at every step and i think it's worth pointin out that although the wisconsi supreme court did throw out th challenge to the 2020 election they did so by

michelle goldberg's at the "new york times" as it think it's a great present but adds it's hard to ignorel of biden's ears no matter how hard elected democrats try. she says essentially should be taking a victory lap not launching a campaign what about the issue of age? >> i was so the president last night he was in fighting form. i saw him at the event was south korean president again great at the press conference. so look, i think people should judge presidents on their performance in the record not on their age. the president has a great record i talked with some the economic factors. he has also been one of the most productive president in recent history when it comes to legislative record. major bipartisan victories. we have the infrastructure bill we had the chips and science bill to make sure we are more competitive vis-À-vis china and others in the veterans health care bill there were also major winds when it came to bringing down the cost of prescription drugs. and appoint more clean energy. so shannon, what i would say is look at his record, fed us we should be judging people ar

liz, michelle goldberg writes: for all the hype indictment feels antiically mackic the, count feel allntous. why do you think there's this sense of deflation on the left? >> well, surprisingly, you have the centrists and the center-left media looking at this in a very unusual and mostly balanced way, and i think that that should speak volumes about what even legal experts say, howie, is kind of a weak case. you have centrist or dominant media coming out and saying one of two things. two things. number one, the indictment is weak, nothing to see here, this is six years old. there's nothing that we've seen that is more dramatic. number two, it should not have been the first foot forward when it comes to prosecuting a former president which is a huge deal. so c or nn, washington post, msnbc, they were all talking about this, and they were questioning the way, you know, howie you used the term boot strapping the way alvin bragg, the manhattan d.a. would have boot strapped this into a felony, which brings me to the what i find very interesting. you just had emily talking about "the new york

michelle goldberg writing about tucker carlson. "justice for tucker carlson," is the headline.he's achieved a rare trifecta of flaming out at cnn, msc and the fox -- msnbc and fox. he could join a would-be fox competitor like newsmax. that would be tremendous irony if fox, who lied -- other fox hosts have seen the relevance rapidly diminished after being deprived of the network's platform. glenn beck is performing his when he first century john birch society routine at blaze media. he speaking to a fallen niche anyone did. bill o'reilly has a podcast any string of best-selling books. he's no liquor particularly important. maybe carlson will be different. the text messages by dominion suggest an attempted -- an awareness of his own vulnerability. a producer. "we worked hard to build that we have and now it's got." -- now it is gone." that's in the new york times this morning. georgia on the line for others. caller: good morning. i am a c-span watcher. how are you, sir? i love c-span. three quick points and i will get off the line. the caller paula raised an interesting question.
