rachel is, of course, the host of msnbc's rachel maddow show. she joins me now. today who was just apropos of nothing raving about ultra. we talked about it for a full 15 minute about how great and relevant it is, precisely because the seditious conspiracy trial that it appears in your podcast and's up not being successful, unlike the three the government has managed to win so far. >> it is remarkable. ultra, weirdly, the timeline was strange, we launched ultra the podcast, right when the seditious conspiracy trial started against the oath keepers. we finished launching the podcast, the final episode came out, when the first verdict came out in the first seditious conspiracy trial. when you could've knocked me over with a feather if you had told me before the conclusion of those trials that we would have three successful sedition prosecutions by the justice department around january 6th. sedition is really hard to prove. and for good reason. >> right. >> as americans it is legal for us to say terrible things. >> and believe terrible. things >> and believed terrib

he tweeted, rachel maddow is walking a fine line. if he or anyone else even remotely suggest i am antisemitic i will not hesitate to take legal action against them personally. okay. okay, eric trump. but then, later on this week, it was announced that those two speakers, including the hitler was fighting the same people we are guy, they were dropped from -- it will no longer be speaking at trump's property or sharing a stage with trump's son. progress, right? sort of. for starters, even though they will not be appearing at this event, these two speakers are still on the reawaken america tour and its lineup for future events, which means that trump's property is still very much hosting an organization promoting known antisemites, even if those precise known antisemites will be skipping this particular leg of the tour. it's like seeing a touring production of cats, and the play bill say is that understudies will be playing the parts of mr. mistoffelees and rum tum tugger, my favorite characters from cats. -- who did not get booted from

director brennan, how to explain the kremlin sanctioning, you know, rachel maddow and joe scarborough cetera. >> joy, i think this is a very brazen and public display of affection on the part of vladimir putin toward his fellow autocrat buddy donald trump. it's clear these individuals have no bears on russia policy whatsoever. but they've have been be clearly selected because they've been adversaries and very outspoken adversaries of donald trump. this is russia and putin's way to demonstrate he'll continue to support that donald trump and his efforts to reclaim the presidency because i think vladimir putin is counting on trump returning to the white house so that putin's debacle in ukraine can be brought to an end in favor of russia. if donald trump returns to the house. >> let's put up that list up. jimmy kimmel, stephen colbert. it's a strange list, it feels like he's just simply trying to send a message to donald trump, hey, buddy, i support you. it's surprising to me that has not been hung on donald trump, that there hasn't been a louder cry of doesn't this prove that you're puti

tonight, in an interview with rachel maddow, e.l said this. >> i say now clips of the cnn town hall. when he came on a stage, right after our enormous victory and he made jokes about sexual assault. i couldn't believe the pain he was causing to thousands of people, by joking about sexual assault. and that is how he hurt people. >> hearing the cruelty will make him less wealthy, he's not gonna get away with it another time. it's unprecedented for a person to felt been held liable to keep doing the defamation. so they're not a lot of cases we can look to with a playbook of how to do it. but suffice to say, i have a lot of lawyers who are busy looking into this, and we are weighing all of our options. >> joining us now is faith gay, a former federal prosecutor and in the eastern district of new york and andrew weissmann is back with us. faith, it sounds like we have an answer to that question we were all wondering about when we saw donald trump on cnn. did he just defame e. jean carroll again, and easy going to get sued again? sounds

on this network decided not to hear that speech live, and my colleague rachel maddow explained why. >gn speech in which he is repeating the same lies and allegations against his perceived enemies. it's just getting started. so far he's just giving his normal list of grievances. we don't consider that newsworthy and that's a cost to us of a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things. so our deal with you is that we will not under these remarks if he does say in the newsworthy. we'll turn them on around a report right away, but for now just know that it's happening and we're not taping it. >> front decisions about how to cover trump can be ubiquitous since 2015, but this decision was made the context of a man who used his platform to incite a violent insurrection against the u.s. government who repeatedly lies in the most pernicious way on tv and a guy who ranted against the manhattan district attorney on the social media platform he has access to, he was kicked off the other ones, and if he is given live airtime, there is no way to know if he will do something like, i do

carroll and her lawyer speaking to rachel maddow at that newsworthy interview and that news is stillrickling out because we hear this a lot. lawyers and judges do prefer to do things that are precedented. it's a big part of how the law works. but sometimes you have divisions that are both unprecedented and still require action. that justice means making the new precedent. that's clearly what d.a. bragg a thought was necessary in indicting a former president. if he wins that case and overturns a lot of uncovers and overturns a lot of evidence, he may be vindicated in the history books. if a new york jury rejects it or finds this was not the right case to bring as this guy runs for president again, maybe that president won't age well. we don't know yet. we know that he thought that the evidence against trump required making a precedent. when you look at that woman there found to be credible and honest by that jury and she says miss carroll that to vindicate her win she may sue again, that is a new precedent. most people who pay out millions in defamation consequences don't just turn ar
