very full night. $83.3 million for the former president. tonight straight from the source, the staggering cost of donald trump s own words. $83 million for years of defaming the writer e. jean carroll even after a jury found that he sexually abused her. is this enough to make it stop? we ll see. trump is raging tonight. not even sticking around in court to hear the verdict as it was read. we have two insiders with their takes here. someone who was in the courtroom, along with the person who first told e. jean carroll to consider suing donald trump. the chance run-in at a party that got this case going. i m kaitlan collins and this is the source. an astounding $83.3 million. that s a top of the $5 million that trump was already ordered by a jury to pay e. jean carroll after he was found liable for sexually abusing her in the 1990s. today s eye-popping number is for defaming carroll in 2019. there she is with her legal team today after the decision made by nine jurors. seve
companies a debt of gratitude for producing these vaccines, which has reopened the economy and kept the vast majority of americans a lot healthier than it would have been the case. we are punishing the most successful companies in this country that have helped save our lives. sandra: keep the fire there, larry. it is not aimed at brett, by the way. brett is the best at a lot. just saying there is a lot of cognitive disdense in this country. sandra: i don t know how many times he called on the rich and the large corporations to pay their fair share. here s the president i believe saying three times in a row. listen. i don t have to punish
aren t the votes to do much about it as a federal level. and joe biden s dna, creature of the senate, you heard kaitlyn, they believe the senate democrats should decide whether senate democrats change their rules. the president is the most powerful political figure here in the united states. 17 states have already changed their election laws. in ways the democrats argue and they might overstate it sometimes, but there s no question these laws make it harder for people to vote. the president of the united states doesn t think that s a big enough deal to say i m going to change. i m going to change my mind. and i need you to change yours. and there s some cognitive disdense. they are calling it an authoritarian thread. it s the greatest threat since the civil war to democracy. but then also a beat later is saying but this is in congress s corner, and the president can t say anything about the
consequences. he had consequences far, far more severe than we ever anticipated. when we wrote the book, we did not imagine the republican party, the entire republican party would not only trump but anti system, anti democratic political force and that unfortunately as painful as it is to say, we re there today. they don t see themselves as that. there seecms to be a cognitive disdense here. in public. very few authoritarian forces declare themselves openly authoritarian. they always believe or purport to believe they re doing the right thing and they re operating in the name of the common good or democracy or the law. so the republicans wouldn t be the first to believe their doing the right thing. short of a civil war, is
this country. i have a little contrarian take on that. my wife and i have been traveling around to smaller towns. if you ask people about national politics they will say they love or hate trump, hillary, republicans or democrats. if you don t ask them about national politics, they will say we re working together on the school system or working together to get these refugees settled, working together to invest for our kids. so there s a way in which the country is really divided and the level of national politics, my impression is the rest of the country is sort of day by day, the way it s been for quite a while. so that s the strange, you know, cognitive disdense we re in right now. we keep saying how unprecedent the behavior of donald trump is and how we ve never seen this from a president before, but ultimately his behavior is nothing different than what we saw during the campaign. in some ways it s taper, in some ways it s wierld, but for the most part it s the same.
