good to be with you, i m katy tur. it is getting spicy inside a new york city courtroom where the judge overseeing the second e. jean carroll defamation trial against donald trump is forcefully admonishing his lawyer lawyer. and it s clear he does not like what he s hearing. reporters inside the room say trump has slammed the table with his hands and ranted loudly enough for the jury to hear saying things like now she seems to have gotten her memory back. and carroll s statements are false. he said this as the jury was being dismissed, and quote, this is really a con job. judge kaplan was not having any of that and on his second warning, he told donald trump he might have to consider kicking him out. i understand you are very eager for me to do that. to which trump put his hands up in the air and said i would love it. i would love it. i know you would judge kaplan said back because you just can t control yourself in this circumstance. you just can t. it sounds like an episode
This is the movie of comic books, like hes playing a president. Hes doing this thing, which hes talking away action heroes talk, not the way president s talk with the power of life and death in their hands. Weve turned to the north koreans and kim jongun, if he takes a provocative measure, if he fires on guam, i think were going to take Military Action. Im almost sure the president cant retreat from this position. Once military blows are exchanged, i think the chance of going to allout conventional war are significant. He still doesnt have a usable nuclear capability. I dont think were going to go there. But i do think the president is saying hes prepared to go to nuclear conflict. One of the more chilling moments on this network today. And with that, lets bring in our leadoff friday night panel. Welcome to all. Matthew, can you walk us through the evolution of Donald Trumps language of this week . First of all, we note that we can only hope the expression Locked And Loaded translates
there was no changing their mind despite the evidence presented in this indictment. uh-uh also spoke with some people around the town in palm beach. many of them did not want to go on camera. those who did werepretty split what they thought of the indictment and how this should go down. i spoke to two people who supported him in the past, one a republican woman who doesn t think he had should run. in speak ining to that group, o thing they did agree on is this indictment could benefit donald trump. they think it will bring out hiss base in force. a lot of support coming forward in light of the indictment, including the supporters we see here at mar-a-lago. randi kaye, cnn, florida. boris johnson, the embattled form er british prime minister said he s had enough with parolment and is stepping down effective immediately. while kwiting is out of character for johnson, it proved
are they going to turn on him on this, is he going to lose? does this have bearing what ann coulter is saying because in terms of his supporters until relatively recently when it came to the wall, she was there at the forefront? donald trump is the president. this is the second time he s told ann coulter where she can go. if hiss base is going to abandon him over the wall, they would have abandoned him a long time ago. this is not about the wall. trump is the protagonist. it s not about border security or a crisis on the border. it is about whatever the president seeks. what the president has done here is erode the civic compact in several ways, particularly on national security. he has eninvoked national security on multiple occasions to evoke constituencies. he did so in order to right ahead farmers who were hurt by his tariff trade war.
it demonstrates a hostility and a lack of willingness to understand. i ve watched this play out and something i wonder is why is this white house going to bat for this guy over and over again as they have here? what do you make of that, not just the president and hope hicks and others said so much about what they saw as the character of guy so many times over the course of the week? look, this is how donald trump sees as his base, these sort of men who are disaffected with the system, very often men who feel disaffected with systems do turn to violence as a way to think as a catharsis for their feelings. donald trump is trying to show hiss base that he s a trumpeter of men. he s trying to make the me too about men being victims. but the same narrative about
