testify, the judge can allow the prosecutors to bring in a whole host of other bad acts and salacious activities on the part of the defendant that otherwise would not be able to be brought in. i do not think trump would perform well in cross- examination, either, in terms of his comportment and his respect for the judges and questioners. we have seen that with ireland, he has been admonished for that in the courtroom. to go even further south if he takes the witness stand, so i don't think you will do it. >> later on in the show, i will talk about the contempt hearing that is coming up on tuesday. taking a deep dive not only procedurally, but substantively, what to expect. i will ask you this because you have been in new york for a long time in the legal system. what could juan merchan do more than a $1000 fine for that gag order? >> look, the most serious penalty available within the discretion of the judge is to put the defendant, in this case, donald trump, behind bars for a period of time.
