joining me now, tennessee congressman, steve cohen.rrently sits on the house judiciary committee. congressman, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show, we're looking at some unprecedented history right now. first, what is your reaction to the 49-page indictment of donald trump? >> i never thought i'd see a criminal case that made richard nixon look like a choir boy. watergate was the worst thing that happened to the presidency and to our history, one of presidents broke into the watergate and -- find information on the other party in order that to happen and try to cover it up. this is so much worse, taking military and new color, which our military secrets of the united states, illegally, away from the white house. he asked for them to be returned, light that they had been returned by hidden, lie again, and then hide materials and collude with this aids to hide material from the federal government went after they executed a search warrant for such. they continued to do such. who knows what he still has. he's known to be a trans

to steve cohen, the shark story didn't end so easily, the fish started to go bad formaldehyde, cloudyrst, offered to replace the shark with stuffed demin, hirst, was critical of this idea. he said that there should be only a natural shark here, in connection with this he bought five more dead fish and made exhibits with them, he used the largest one for the original work, and made copies of the rest and sold 4 million rubles each. for each of his installations, hers shows the helplessness of anyone before death , whether it be a person or the most dangerous predator in the world, all sorts of looking at this work feels fear. although the shark has been dead for a long time and cannot harm the viewer , a predatory mask has forever frozen on its face. aku. la - this is not the only animal that demian hers experimented with formaldehyde. he also placed sheep, and even cows. in 2001, the storm gallery hosted an exhibition of the artists' work. one of the cleaners took the installation, consisting of mugs from coffee cans and glasses from underground drinks and cigarette butts, for garbage

because at the end of the day, it was super rich new yorkers, like steve cohen, who owns the mets, writinge big fat checks so he can hit trump between the eyes. and that's what he's doing. >> yeah, i think look, this is a good moment for trump, and a good moment for chris christie. i think it's sort of what we call in politics as come to be known as a sister soldier moment. to go out what bill clinton did and speak at your own party doesn't want to hear. this is the path to chris christie has. i love the guy, i vote for the guy when he ran for governor. i wish he had been saying this back in 16. i wish he never endorsed trump. but we can't undo that. i don't think that there is a winnable path to a nomination that isn't anti trump. but i'm glad that he's out there saying this. , but his role here is to see what he sees known as the truth. and he should do that. >> thank you for being here. when we come back, this sign isn't warning drivers of ice or oil on the road. it is warning them of crickets. this is a story that you are going to be talking about all weekend. and possibly having night
