it actually helps his legal defense. this week, enough feels court reinstated trump's federal gag order. following his comments, create, quote, as significant and imminent threat. trump can no longer lash out at witnesses or court staff or the election interference case. special counsel, jack smith? he remains fair game. meanwhile, house repue anying te georgia charges against trump. trump allies launched an investigation into fulton county the a, fani willis, claiming she secretly conspired of the january six committee. a former january six committee chair responded to the allegations say, of course they worked with georgia prosecutors. >> when we found wrongdoings like we did, we made the necessary referrals, that is not doing anything other than, what we were sworn to do as members of congress. we have taken an oath of office to do just that. >> all this as trump turns his companies fraud trial into a campaign right. monday trump will be testifying in new york despite earning a 10,000 dollar fine the last time he took the stand. as trump told reporters this week he just has to have the final word. >> i should be right now in iowa, in new hampshire, in south carolina. i should not be sitting in a courthouse. i do not have to sit here. i can just do whatever i want to do, but i want to make sure that you get the story. >> reminder, it is a civil trial and he does not need to be there. with me now, msnbc contributor and former watergate prosecutor, jill wine-banks, she is the coast of the hashtag sisters in law podcast and host of the watergate girls. also with me political analyst, matthew dowd, he is the former chief established of the 2004 strategist campaign. and espinosa, she is a former spokeswoman for california senator, diane feinstein. gel, monday is what we are all watching and waiting for. just how risky is it for trump to take the stand in his own defense? >> if past is prologue, it is very dangerous. let's remember in another civil case when he testified in depositions where he had a lawyer present. he misidentified the defendant, or his former wife. so when he makes a mistake like that, imagine what he can do in this. plus he is prone to talking beyond the question and i think the judge will control them and i don't think he will do himself any good in terms of public perception or in terms of the defense of this particular case. >> here is the thing, matthew dowd, he built his political uphill on the idea of himself as some type of magnificent businessman. what we are watching unfold in new york, in part, debunks that mythology and we also know that he is taking opportunity of what is happening in new york to turn it into part of his grievance story. to use the opportunity to stand in front of the courtroom and push this narrative that he is somehow being singularly attacked by a u.s. government? >> it will have, any under mounting of what his life has been has been no effect on gop voters. it's amazing to me as you watch this. all of the stuff that has been, we have seen, come across donald trump has actually only build support stronger among gop primary voters. i like to remind people in so many different things, is you cannot break an emotional connection with a rational arguments. and the same is true here, you cannot break the connection, donald trump has with gop primary voters by presenting facts or presenting evidence. it just will not happen. the only thing that could possibly do it in some degree is an actual conviction. and we'll see if that does it. >> wait, stay there matthew dowd, because an actual conviction would arguably be a statement of facts, it is not an emotional appeal so explain to me how then that somehow is outside the rule that you are stating? >> i do not know if it is outside the role, i said it is possible that it could have an effect. i don't know if it ultimately well. what i think could happen is that the voters finally say oh, not that they do not like donald trump anymore, oh he is in trouble for the general election and we need to beat joe biden which is what they absolutely want to do and so i don't think it will change the perception of donald trump it. may change the perception about donald trump's capacity to win the election against joe biden. >> to that point, one former trump aide says the public has started tweeting out his threats. take a listen. >> we really need to be paying attention to what trump is actually saying. because i do think that we have become a little bit desensitized to the things that he has said because they have always been crazy, or bombastic. but his rhetoric really has changed ever since he lost the 2020 election, i think something in him broke and in the reality, it has not been there. >> marcia, how do you remind voters of the urgency of this moment? >> that's exactly right, we need to take what donald trump is saying literally. what he gave us in his four years of disastrous presidency was a preview. just this week he said that he was going to be a dictator on day one, we should be taking this literal. it is very telling to hear what he has plans of four already, especially in regards to national security and our immigration. so this is something that we really need to start going up to. and that contrast between him and president biden could not be more real. >> matt, i'm not sure if you heard the breaking news as we came on air about the president of the university of handing in a resignation and the wake of congressional testimony around antisemitism on college campuses. i know i'm asking you to process in realtime but i do wonder what you make of this moments that we find ourselves in? >> first in, her testimony, she did a horrendous job enunciating what the actual position of the university was and not answering a very straightforward question in a very straightforward way. so that actually happened. she did not do a good job of that, my guess is behind the scenes and we probably heard some of, it is large contributors to the university have basically called in and said if she remains, if she remains we are not given the money. and a reminder that would end up happening. she's not being pushed all the way out, she is being pushed out of the presidency. she mishandled the event and i think right now, it is large funders to the university are making their voices heard. >> jill, i want to pivot back to the new york times. former trump attorney, kenneth chesebro, is cooperating in the investigation in nevada, michigan, and georgia. a reminder every time i read that many states, how this was a sprawling effort. what might chesebro offer prosecutors in those states? >> he is a part of it. he was a coconspirator, so that testimony against his other coconspirators is very compelling. but if i could, i would also link the gag order to the university of pennsylvania. because the first amendment, which i totally support is very broad, but there is a line and so, the imminent danger that donald trump poses and why the gag order was upheld is the same line that was crossed in the threats that have been going on at the universities that testified, and that line goes beyond protection of the first amendment and must be stopped. that is why the three presidents all where inadequate in defending their positions as university presidents and policies. >> marcia, there's only time for one more question and there is a lot happening in this coming week, we already talked about donald trump taking the stand in his own defense and that civil fraud trial. i want to ask you the action on capitol hill, what we are watching for, is whether or not republicans are going to be willing to support some type of foreign aid package without tying it's to what they call border security. given that this has been in the past year area of expertise. i just wonder what it tells you about the values of republicans that they are trying to take aid to ukraine and somehow tie it to permanent changes in asylum in this country. >> these are two completely separate issues that they are trying to tie together, and president biden has been asking for border funding since last december. again, in september and now $14 million so they could've done, they could've supported either of those measures but they just have not. so what it shows us is that they really just want a 2024 talking point. and, if they wanted to do something about immigration they could have but to tie something that we haven't been able to come to any consensus on in over 30 years with ukraine funding is just plain ridiculous. >> jill wine-banks, matt dowd, marsha espinoza, thanks for getting us started. coming up, trump says publicly that if elected he will be a dictator, not only on day one. why that is more worrying than it might sound. and in the next hour we spell of the dangers of a second trump term. he's already telling us what he plans to do for his next four years. and next, a report from the ground in israel. following the u.s. veto of the united nations cease-fire resolution. but first, richard louis with the other big stories we're tracking this hour on msnbc. richard?

former house speaker, kevin mccarthy. he announced his plans to retire from congress earlier this week. and a preview for an upcoming interview he says he endorses trump, and is willing to come back to washington in order to serve in trump's potential cabinet. >> if i am the best person for the job, yes. i have worked with president trump on a lot of policies, we work together to win the majority. but we also have a relationship where we are very honest with one another. >> someone who knows the soon to be ex congressman all too well, former democratic congressman, sheila mccormack, she joins me now. congresswoman, so much to get to. what worries you most about a presidential cabinet filled with trump loyalists? >> i think the biggest worry is having trump running that cabinet, especially with comments about him being a dictator on day one. and continuing to look at people who put loyalty first and then our country so that is a huge concern because they are all pledging their support to trump which is more of a authoritarian idea that trump should go before country. >> what about the can takes up his first term? he didn't fully understand, appreciate how to use the levers of government and what are the concerns when you think about the possibility of a second term, is that there is at least a greater understanding than there was the first time of how to do that and so, from that vantage point, understanding that he now understands where power lies, substantively, what does that mean and for you for members of congress, what does that mean about the job that you will then be called upon to do? >> i think we will have a gridlock, at the end of the day, when you have trump hand picking these authoritarian cheerleaders who are going to do what he wants them to do regardless of how it affects our nation. regardless of how it affects the members, and the people who rely on the health of the government, they are just going to be carrying out this agenda. and this agenda is going to be an extreme agenda. if we look at what's going on with congress right now, we spend most of our time voting on things that don't affect people. especially on the bottom line. where voting on paying people $1. where voting on things like center but. we're not doing the peoples work. and trump is not even president. so what is it going to be like with him being president? i think a lot more interference, there's going to be a lot more theater, and there's gonna be a lot more dangerous, authoritarian views and viewpoints. especially when it comes to immigration. especially when it comes to having one of these investigations against his opponents, he's going to be really -- in a way that we've never seen before. and i think we have to take into consideration that he has no threat of being reelected. so he can do whatever he wants to do, with full range. and really have no threat because he feels like it is his way now and no one can stop him. that's with the biggest, scariest point is about this. i think the american people have been saying more, more, when it came to even abortion. they want to have more independents and choosing their lifestyle. that is not trump's agenda, nor is it his cabinet. if we look at trump, they truly are cheerleaders and not american people first. that is really scary about this. how far that will take off? i think we need to take fears what trump said. when he says he wants to be a dictator. we have to ask ourselves, why a dictator? out of all the people in the world why would you say a dictator when we're talking about retaliation? when doctors retaliate, they -- and that's what he's looking to do, and that is scary. >> okay so, that is your point of view from here on earth one. over on earth to where rhonda scent is apparently lives during the republican presidential debate this week, he, if you can believe this, he criticize trump for not being more extreme. take a listen. >> look, the media is making a big deal of what he said about some of these comments. i will just remind people that is not how we govern. he doesn't fire dr. fauci, christopher wray, he did not clean up the swamp. he said he would drain, if he did not drain it. he says he would build a wall in mexico, and pay for, it we do not have a wall. he did say in 2016 he would have the largest deportation program in history. he deported less than barack obama did when barack obama was president. some of these policies he ran on in 60, and i was cheering him on then, but he did not deliver it. >> as a floridian, you are very familiar with governor desantis policy positions, it's not just spoken ideology on the debate stage. it actually has played out in her state in a number of ways. a reminder in as much as we can sit here and talk about donald trump, trumpism has taken a hold of his party? >> you're exactly right. at this point it seems like everybody is trying to be more extreme than trump. we know that desantis is one of those people trying to out-trump trump. it doesn't actually gain a more popular support. anybody who trying to go further than trump is actually thinking. the american people are looking for a different type of direction. and i watch the debate the other night. and i wanted am i the only person here who is waiting for them to talk about things that we talk about every single day. when i am in my district people are talking about homeowners insurance, housing, and they are really upset about governor desantis putting these book bans, and trying to take control of the education system. everyone is very upset about it, but it seems like it is a huge disconnect that we are seeing. especially with the rhetoric. i don't think the american people are looking for a more extreme trump. if you see trump in what he is doing, what he's talking about. he's talking in that language, i think he's focusing on finishing the job but also that retaliation tactic that he is trying to bring forward. which i think is actually intimidation. and thinking about putting something like mccarthy on board. who actually knows how the system works. and seeing how trump interfered so many times in congress by calling in trying to pressure people to do different things, unless they were to win the house and the senate, we would be at a total stalemate. >> i was about to ask you how you feel about the possibility that kevin mccarthy could ride off into the sunset, only to write back as a member of the trump cabinet but you have told me, congresswoman sheila cherfilus-mccormick, thank you so much for your time and for being with us. as always. coming up in the next hour. a closer look at what the second trump term would actually look like. his radical plans, and the danger to democracy for just about every angle. , plus we are following breaking news. you's president, liz magill, stepping down following comments the congress about antisemitism. we will bring you a live report! stay with us! stay with us he hits his mark —center stage— and is crushed by a baby grand piano. are you replacing me?

opinion water, david wallace wildes rights, as an aftermath ups we count these days of a historical trauma, the world remains a pretty gloomy place. is it really a surprise? the holidays are especially hard when you lost a loved one. which my next guest knows too well. kelly lost her daughter, adelaide, to a rare form of epilepsy just days before her fourth birthday in 2019. in her new book, normal broke, and she is breaking down the all-encompassing feelings that come with losing a loved one. all while working through her own grief, she is helping others. kelly joins me now. the author of normal broken, the great companion for when it is time to heal, but you are not sure that you want to. kelly, the title says it all. >> thank you so much. the title is incredibly intentional, i felt very broken after my daughter died, i felt shouted, i felt like i didn't fall into any of my typical social circles, the disability community. and no longer have the child that initiated me there. even with my friends i felt like an eeyore, a debbie downer. even in my own family my husband and i were grieving and i didn't necessarily feel like a fit there. it wasn't until i found other people who are also experiencing an all encompassing loss. i attempted a grief retreat for mothers that had all last children. and with those women, i finally felt normal in my brokenness. and that is what i hope that this book can provide, can be a friend, because i am not a therapist. >> right, but there's a beautiful fact that you're not a therapist. because in that way, you're not being prescriptive at all. however you choose to do this is the way that you need to do this, and we are all going to process this differently but. there are common to nominators. among them, the clinging to the grief. you write in your book if i try to heal, that would require me to let go of the pain and by extension, my daughter. i haven't been able to physically keep adelaide in our lives, so you better believe i had no intention of letting go of her emotionally. ever go, attachments of pain. >> yes, i think it's a really universal feeling that we do not, it's not that, i think part of it is there is guilt and we don't feel like we should he'll bet at the end of the day so many people do not want to heal and that was something that i struggled with. i can't picking up all of these books and they all assumed that i wanted to heal, and i did not. it was not until it was actually the night before president biden's inauguration, he did a covid-19 memorial and in that speech, he said to heal we must remember. it took me aback because i thought that healing meant letting go. here is a man who has experienced more grief than most in their lives and he was saying that to heal, we must remember and that is when i realize that healing meant moving forward with my daughter. she wasn't with me physically, but her memory was, her spirit is. i can move forward with her, i will move forward with my grief because grief and love our two sides of the same coin. so i'm never gonna stop loving my daughter, i'm never going to stop grieving her either and that is okay. >> i became familiar with you and your story because i actually went to see hamilton, and michael, with michael starring in hamilton and as i watched, i thought, my god. this man every night is reliving something that he has actually lived. and i have to imagine for you, the complication that comes with both receiving good news, in tandem with the worst news of your life. but also the fact that he has a way of processing that is not necessarily available to you. >> now, he gets to process her loss. and also, he would say that being onstage and performing uptown, he actually completely disconnects and for him, it was an escape going to where it was an escape, and it was not an escape that i got. and there is this disconnect there. the show, and our daughter, she was diagnosed with epilepsy the same week that he landed the role of hamilton. he got the offer, we were in chicago for four years, he got the offered to join the broadway company a few days after she had passed away, and so it's always been this, he calls it a rocket in one hand, and a parachute in the other. and he is actually wrapping up his run on january 7th after two separate performances and it's this very bittersweet feeling because you are being thrust into the next phase. >> i only have 20 seconds left. tell me how you keep her memory alive? >> we have photos of her all over. i love telling people stories about her. i love talking about her and so i always urge people, if you do not know what to say to someone who is grieving, asked them about their loved one. because chances are, they are so ready and open to share their memory with you. >> kelly cervantes, this is just what i needed. thank you. her book, normal broken, the brief companion for when you don't know what to heal. coming up, looking at what his second term would look like, and we should look at it closely. what could be in store should he when. and colluding determining an unwanted presidency. reproductive freedom for all helps us to put that into perspective. plus more and the breaking news that we have been following. liz mcgill, president of the university of pennsylvania announce that she is stepping down following the viral threshold hearing about antisemitism on campus. a report on that at the top of the hour! ♪ ♪ ♪ ss?
