sauer is the man who argued for president trump. he also argued to overturn the $454 million judgment obtained in the civil fraud case, brought by new york attorney general, leticia james. to break this down, we have molly jung fast. host of the fast podcast and special correspondent for ""vanity fair."" also with us is joseph stearns. and finally, leah witman. my cocoast at the strict scrutiny podcast. mark, you first. if either alito or thomas stepped down they would be replaced by someone younger, but that wouldn't shift the balance on the court. what would happen on a court that it already pretty far to the right? >> so first of all, and most obviously, it would lock in the conservative majority, for something like 20 to 30 years. as you mentioned,alito and thomas are fairly old. but trump would be looking to put someone in his 40s or early 50s in their place. that would mean that we would spend another generation almost certainly with at least five, and quite possibly six conservatives, in charge of this court. it would mean th

i would expect john sauer to quickly note the change in the administrations position and sauer is nor. he filed a motion to intervene in the supreme court to overturn the 2020 election. so now, that could very well end up being a physician of the federal government for the supreme court. >> mark, this court served as a bulwark, it was a 5-4 majority now it is a 6-3 super majority, what are the prospects of this court serving as a restraint on executive power in the second trump administration, is that even on the table or do you think all is lost? >> i was in the process of that is pretty dismal. this is a court that has consistently blocked bidens policies. not on legal grounds but on the principle that it is too much, it's too big, it's too progressive, we can't let the president do that. and yet consistently under trump allowed the white house to push through extreme policies including the entry been. i think we will see a similar kind of schizophrenia in the court when the white house flips from biden back to trump. the conservative justice made up out of thin air as a pretax. th

the pick of todd blanche, emil bove and john sauer, all have solid credentials, are designed to calmaetz and say this is the department of justice that's about to go off the rails. i would say to folks if matt gaetz is still in control of the department of justice, you should not be calmed by the presence of these three people. they may understand the apparatus itself in the department of justice, but they will be subject to direction of one matt gaetz. >> but would a todd blanche be acting attorney general if there is no one already filling that role, if gaetz, again, confirmation process is moving slowly, who takes up that space as the head honcho? >> oftentimes it is the deputy attorney general, but usually not the newly confirmed deputy attorney general that acts as the attorney general. you'll remember that, for example, during the first trump presidency, the first acting attorney general was sally yates, who was president obama's deputy attorney general. she served in that capacity for ten days until rodgers- rosen s came in. you want to have your deputy and ag confirmed simult

sauer as solicitor general. >> yeah, i mean, those are all good lawyers. emil i don't know as well as todd. he worked also in the justice department in the southern district with todd. todd brought him into his firm, and he wound up trying that case when i stepped out with todd in manhattan. good lawyer. again, my experience with him is limited. but, you know, if todd entrusts him to be his partner in his law firm, i'm sure he's qualified, and, again, he's someone who has experience, and that's what i think is important here, right, someone with experience. so i think emil would be great in that role. again, it's not just one individual, it's a group. it's a team. and so he'd be working under todd. again, they both come from probably the most prestigious prosecutorial office in the country. >> has anyone reached out to you to see if you would be interested in serving in the government? >> that's not possible. i could not leave my day job. the president actually early on talked to me about, you know, joining him one day back in washington and sent me a nice

and also john sauer who you will remember argue trump's presidential immunity. if he is confirmed he will be picked as the solicitor general. it is not just one or two, it is three trump attorneys now being tapped. they have much different qualifications and they may be just fine in confirmation hearings. but it does speak to the moment that we are in that he picks his defense attorneys and it goes over and no one really says anything. >> they do have experience as big-time prosecutors. >> top lands work that the southern district of new york and obviously john sauer has deep litigation experience as well. >> caitlin, thank you for being here tonight. >>> now to talk about this proposed nomination of robert f. kennedy jr. peer -- and also with us dr. sanjay gupta . is robert kennedy qualified for this job? >> i would say no. organizational management experience. over 83,000 employees and $1.7 trillion budget. he has never worked directly with congress or a legislative body. many of the previously secretaries have been governors and robert very closely with h.h.s

but look, john sauer was my classmate in harvard law. he was always very bright.tical views, but he was a smart guy. blanche and bovie have also been prosecutors before. so the bar is low here. matt gaetz is someone who's barely even a lawyer at any point, so these are people who at least have some basic level of competency to do the job. >> and there are they're the most normal picks of them all. thank you for making time, my friend. we'll be right back. or for my little dog woof, who eats big. ♪ ♪ gifts delivered on time or your money back. etsy has it. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. step back out there with fasenra. ask

and john sauer, and those of trump's selections. all three of them are on trump's criminal cases. sauer just worked on the criminal appeal side. so all three of them are part of his defense team. that's what he used to say. he wanted and ag who was a roy cohen figure. >> it turns out the roy cohen figure might be donald trump himself. gentlemen, thank you for starting us off this night in our nations capital. when we return, we go back to talking trump's treasury secretary. that person is going to be the face of his economic agenda. but is this the candidate that can actually sell the tariff plan to a market? and later, republicans may be looking for cuts in programs like medicaid to offset the enormous cost of trump's tax plan. the 11th hour just getting underway on tuesday night. we always love taking care of our home. but last year, grandpa here broke his arm. we realized some maintenance jobs aren't worth the risk. that's when we called leaffilter to protect our gutters. leaffilter's patented filter technology keeps debris out of your gutters for good. they gave us a free insp

find a blue jacket, which they say is similar to the one bridge guy was wearing, and they find a sig sauerun, which authorities say matched an unspent bullet round found at the scene of the crime that bullet was the same kind that would have been used in the gun found at richard allen's home. >> police arrested richard allen in october 2022 and charged him with the murders of abby and libby. the 52 year old is a husband, a father and known around town. >> he's someone who lived there and was an engrained member of the community that no one put two and two together like that period of time actually tells me this is how much people actually didn't suspect him. >> now, in 2024, more than seven years after the murders of abby and libby, richard allen faces trial for their deaths behind closed doors. key details about the crime coming to light. for the first time, the jury saw the photos of the girls in the leaves where they had been found, and both of their throats had been slit. >> then you get to abby. she was dressed in libby's clothes, libby's jeans, libby's zip up jacket, abby's shirt, he

with emil bove as number three, blanche as number two and john sauer as solicitor general, do you have sense where this doj will be going come january? >> i don't think any of them have taken positions at least in their papers that indicate, for example, that future prosecutions of people involved in the cases that they defended will be coming. however, if you take team trump at their word, this is one of the reasons that they want matt gaetz. >> would todd blanche want to do that? >> i don't know that todd blanche wants to do that. i think todd blanche will be pressed into that service of going from being in the fervent defense of donald trump to be on the fervent offense for donald trump. >> if he's taking this position, he's saying yes to the pick, to being nominated, he's got to know donald trump -- he's got to know where donald trump would want to push him and if he would be willing to go that far. >> and he has to have an appetite for that. i will say to you, that in the papers that todd blanche signed and various other criminal cases where he's been involved, there are accusatio

he also had some work boots and a stocking cap, and they find a sig sauer handgun, which authoritiesn unspent bullet round found at the scene of the crime. that bullet was the same kind that would have been used in the gun found at richard allen's home. that was just another clue that police thought potentially could have connected him to the crime, and then would twist in a shocking crime story that captivated so many for years. >> police revealing today the arrest of a 50 year old suspect who seemed to be hiding in plain sight. >> there is a major break in a double homicide in delphi. a man is now under arrest for the murder of two teenage girls. >> police arrested richard allen in october 2022 and charge him with the murders of abby and libby. >> god has provided us with justice for abby and libby, the 52 year old is a husband, a father, and known around delphi, indiana. >> some evidence at trial raising more questions than answers. >> the large part of their argument is that richard allen confessed over 60 times to wardens, inmates, family members, almost anyone who would listen

usually, i would be critical of that and i heard that there was an appointment of john thune and john sauer can't get upset about it because todd blanche is a reasonably good lawyer. he did things in court i did not think was that great , but he is not a terrible lawyer. there are three other cabinet level positions that trump has filled. >> we will get to that . let's talk about the selection of a fierce ally, matt gaetz, to become the next attorney general. what concerns do you have of him wielding the power of the u.s. justice department? >> first of all, he is a bad guy and he is completely unqualified for the job. his own experience with the criminal justice system, likely he only has experience in a small law firm in florida for a year . it is his investigation for sex trafficking. that, to me, is not a good qualification. it is not good for the rest of us, it makes no sense. >> you called the selections of robert f kennedy jr., matt gaetz, tulsi gabbard, potentially, the worst in american history. do you think the republicans will defy him on any of these picks ? >> i cannot say that

former doug collins of georgia for va secretary and form them former missouri solicitor general john sauer as sg general of the united states that first, consider the source, that is the focus of tonight's the 25. all right, we knew it was coming, speaking of new picks, trump picks rfk, jr. the head of department of health and human services and is only as to the number of heads blowing up of the officials of washington tonight. with the efforts to discredit the nominee of rfk, jr. has been underway since he endorsed trump in august. the fox headline he could empower health. trump officially gives rfk, jr. a chance to destroy the country's health. might personal favorite from the public health association what to make rfk could be the end of health policy. evidence-based health? how about this evidence? a record number of americans are suffering from chronic illnesses. one in six adults has diabetes. by 2050 given current trends, about 61% of adults are predicted to develop cardiovascular disease. so rfk understands this is a ticking time bomb for families, for our hospitals, doctors, nurs

don sauer is the solicitor general. that made this argument during trump's immunity case. >> had a president who ordered seal team six to assassinate a political rival , who was not as -- impeached, he would be subject to prosecution. >> if he were impeached and convicted first. >>'s your answer is no. >> my answer is a qualified yes. >> you went on to make the argument in front of the supreme court and we saw how that decision has reshaped the presidency. he could soon be back in front of the supreme court. this time he would be arguing for the federal government. cnn legal analyst and former prosecutor elliot williams. elliott, on the todd blanche of it all, it's kind of the rebuke of all rebukes, putting her defense attorney , who is representing in the cases, that right now are being prosecuted by the justice as installing a person as the number two in your justice department. >> absolutely, katelyn. regardless of what the former president and people around him say , there is a long tradition of independence at the

and also john sauer who you will remember argued his presidential amenity argument. he is going to be picked if he is confirmed as the solicitor general. the number three job at the justice department. it is three trump attorneys now being tapped . now they have much different qualifications and they may be just fine in their confirmation hearings. but it does speak to the moment that we are in that he picks his defense attorneys and a kind of goes over and no one really says anything. >> they do have experience as big-time prosecutors , something matt gaetz did not have. >> todd blanche worked as a federal prosecutor. >> katelyn collins, we will see at the top of the hour. thank you for being here. now to talk about this proposed nomination of robert f. kennedy jr. e -- dr. sanjay gupta. is robert kennedy qualify for this job? >> i would say no. he has no organizational management experience. h.h.s. is one of the largest domestic organizations. over 83,000 employees in over a $7 trillion budget. he has never worked directly with congress or legislative body. many of

bove worked on his team has been picked as rentable associate deputy attorney general and dean john sauermp in the immunity case has been picked as solicitor general . choice, it's great to see you. thanks for being with us. there are several theories as to why donald trump would have chosen to appoint matt gaetz, what is your best theory at the moment? >> yeah, well it certainly was not qualification because gaetz is not qualified, the closest he's been to a criminal investigation is being a target of one, and an important responsibility for an attorney general is overseeing the 115,000 employees worldwide, 40+ components of the department. so i think we can take any qualification beyond loyalty to donald trump off the table. i'm sort of intrigued by what we saw happen in the house friday, this ethics report, that by all reporting that we saw was going to be deeply compromising for gaetz, and there was a strong indication it was about to be publicly released, that was shelved because the committee no longer has the authority to discipline him once he is no longer a member of congress and

john sauer was mike leslie in harvard law school. we were in the same section.l views. he was a smart guy, todd blanche, -- they have been prosecutors. the bar is low here. matt gaetz is someone who is barely even a lawyer. these are people who at least have some basic level of competency. >> and therefore, they are the most normal pics of their all -- kristi greenberg, say at all with the hand. thank you for making time, we will be right back. back. lost her card, not the vibe. the soul searcher, is finding his identity, and helping to protect it. hey! oh yeah, the explorer! she's looking to dive deeper... all while chase looks out for her. because these friends have chase. alerts that help check. tools that help protect. one bank that puts you in control. chase. make more of what's yours. i'm amy grant, and i want to talk to you from my heart about the heart. i would have been the last person on the list to say this woman has a problem with her heart. so, no, there was nothing about my life that said, you have a ticking time bomb in your chest. but i did. i wo

and dean john sauer, who helped trump win the supreme court presidential immunity case as solicitor general, a former federal prosecutor and a senior writer with politico magazine, and anthony, a former director with the office of public affairs for the justice department, and a former senior adviser for attorney general merrick garland. he is also an msnbc justice and legal affairs analyst. gentlemen, thank you both very much for coming back to the sunday show. so, i have been making a big deal about trump's personal attorney is getting those positions at the doj. anthony, you work directly in justice, can you please explain to viewers why they should be troubled that trump's three personal attorneys have the three top positions other than ag at the justice department? >> jonathan, trump has learned a fundamental truth about washington, which is that people are policy. i think back to his first two attorney general pics, they were conservative republicans, but they had legal and ethical lines that they would not cross. bill barr refused to go along with trump's allied at the 2020s election

lawyer john sauer has been named as nominee for solicitor general.a governor doug burgum has been named as nominee for secretary of the interior. >> we're going to do things with energy and with land interior that is going to be incredible. and so i look forward to doing the formal announcement. although this is a pretty big announcement right now, actually. he's going to head the department of interior and he's going to be fantastic. >> analysts note president elect trump is choosing loyalists who will likely enact policies he favors. in minutes, we'll talk live with the political analyst about the impact of mr. trump's picks and the resulting pushback. we should have a better idea today on the tight races in alameda county. the registrar of voters is expected to release a new batch of vote totals. one of the undecided races is that for mayor of berkeley. at last count, fewer than 400 votes separated the top two candidates. there were about 20,000 ballots yet to be counted earlier this week. >> all right. 807 is your time right now. san mateo county

of trump's own personal legal team including hush money lawyers todd blanche and emil bove and john sauereing tapped for jobs as well. they are, of course, key allies, both personal and political, and or adversaries of the agencies they're being asked to lead. joining me now, nbc's ryan reilly, msnbc legal analyst paul butler and msnbc legal correspondent lisa lisa, i don't need to tell you, you were in the trial room day after day after day, you watched the relationship between donald trump, his lawyer, todd blanche, emil bove. talk a little bit about that, what it is like and what it could mean, do you think, at the department of justice? >> todd blanche has an unusually strong relationship with donald trump. donald trump as we covered at the time, chris, was unhappy to be in the courtroom most of the time. morose, much of the time. there were moments he laughed and lightened up and that's when he was talking to todd blanche sitting next to him. >> really close. >> really close together, whispering together so they couldn't be detected. i joked that the relationship was almost bromantic

i wonder what will happen with todd blanche, obviously john sauer has been picked for sg, who has beenely endorsed in the conservative legal world is a fantastic pick. todd blanche, i don't know if they will bump them all up, jay clayton as the end of st and why, i don't know if they're going to -- there are a number of people in trump orbit who will do a phenomenal job. >> john: members of the senate he might draw from? mike lee's name -- >> i've heard mike lee's name, but of course there is a calculation there as far as keeping the majority the way it is, not just that, it is counting on solid votes on the issues that you care about. so when you pull a senator, you trust and rely on on x issue, there is the risk you may not get that same vote even if you think -- >> john: senator hegarty's name has also been thrown around. >> i saw his name -- there are a lot of names being circulated. we know donald trump is quite unpredictable, hence the matt gaetz pick, so it really remains to be seen. >> john: unpredictability is one of his strengths, let's just say. kerri, thank you so much.i gu

solicitor general, the administration's lawyer before the supreme court, trump has given the nod to john sauermunity case on trumped my in the half before the supreme court. and to think, these picks have all come fast and furious, and we still have 64 days until this administration actually takes over. back with me are joyce vance and tom nichols. joining the conversation is anthony coley, msnbc contributor and former head of affairs at the doj. joyce, i want to get your reaction first on trumped selecting matt gaetz for u.s. attorney general, and although we have learned so far about the house ethics committee report on his misconduct, how do you see that report, which has not yet been released, fitting into these broader concerns about gaetz's qualifications for this top role at doj? >> yeah, you know, that's just the right question. because we don't know what is in that report, although there has been a suggestion that it is not particularly favorable to gaetz. and i think if it were, he would be the one advocating for its release. the senate may never get the report itself, but that is no

another personal defense attorney for donald trump who handled some of that supreme court argument, john sauered for solicitor general. he, of course, dealt with the immunity case, also making those notorious seal team six defense arguments, which we will get to in a second. but, leslie, your view of that kind of figure, a criminal defense attorney being deputy attorney general? >> so, i think that, you know, there is nothing inherently wrong with the president nominating an attorney who has worked with in the past for one of those roles. but, the nature of their representations, i think, makes it very, very inappropriate. i don't know how the senate would react to that. i mean, as you noted, at least those two lawyers have significant legal experience, and prosecutorial experience, and defense experience, and i think that is -- you know, they are real lawyers. but, i think the question should be, can donald trump be appointing people who have represented him in such high- profile, controversial cases? and i think that the senate is going to be very much tested by all of these nominations, obv
