but first, a moment in court the judge called outrageous and simply not allowed. good day. i m chris jansing alongside andrea mitchell and katy tur and they are back in the courtroom. the judge is now planning to issue a new instruction to the jury after trump s defense attorney made a remark that the jury, quote, cannot send someone to prison based on the words of michael cohen. the judge did not like that at all and blasted todd blanche for even raising the idea of trump going to prison. it s not in the jury s purview. and of course, you can t unring the bell and now we are all watching to just see how the prosecution tries to rebut the defense s portrayal of michael cohen as someone with an ax to grind and quote, the greatest liar of all time, that he called the gloat. vaughn hillyard is with us, danny, catherine christian. both are msnbc legal analysts. okay, they are already back, as we said. we have a little bit of color from inside the room. all the attorneys are
trying to get howard schultz into the race because he thinks he ll help him. it s hilarious. you have a president who is setting an awful tone on twitter. it s just taking everybody else down in the gutter with him. howard didn t respond to that tweet because he doesn t think that childish games deserves a response. he s not going to respond to a lot on the internet. people who don t respond get beaten like jeb bush or marco rubio. when you do respond like marco rubio, you look smaller when you do so. no one seems to figure out how to deal with him. you lose when you respond. you ll lose when you don t. it s so foolish we have to talk about it but i m saying he is trying to elevate this debate. there s nothing more than him for beating donald trump.
if they combine their credits, we can get one degree. they know we ll argue who gets it. i didn t want to go to college myself. my dad talked me into it. i think my kids got a wonderful education in public school. they went to the same school that their grandfather did, their mother, it s a school of inner city between 20 and 25% black for 75 years. they saw the real world, and they saw what america is all about. i think it s a great education. what were the key messages that you wanted to send to your children, which i guess you ve passed down, as well, to deal with the fact that there was enormous wealth in the family almost from when they were born? they never felt it was going to be pasted on to create a dynasty. i always felt we would love wonderful and the rest would go back to society and that s been the plan since my 20s. he hid it for a long time. he didn t know it. laugh will have. was he i don t want to use the word mean but was he a little tight fisted, howa
howard, you said earlier your mother was an extraordinary figure in all your lives. tell me why. she did something you heard my dad saying, she provided unconditional love to all three of us. she add incredible patience with me, which was a requirement, i think, to keep me in line and out of trouble and she cared about everybody. i mean, there was nobody that would meet her that didn t connect with her and feel a passion and a warmth from her and she really taught us how to care about other people and how important it is to threat every human being equally. my favorite story in the book, you go around the world doing extraordinary work with the foundation, a lot of it financed by your dad all of it. and it s amazing work that you do and we ll come to this. my favorite story is the time that your mother very unusually for her decided had enough of you. locks you away in your bedroom. most kids in that position, and
him and his charitable work, and he s done the same with his son. i feel very good about the children. there is a reason that i feel extremely grateful to your son, and i m going to play you a clip which will explain why this is from the last time i interviewed howard. lovely to see you. nice to see you. i ll get you back one day with your father and maybe your son as well. the three generations of buffets. i would love. thank you. you see, that moment was sealed with the famous buffet hand shake and i knew then i had a deal because howard, the buffet handshake means a lot, right? well, what i ve learned growing up in our family is that, you know, integrity is everything, and, you know, everybody makes mistakes but i believe as my dad says, you stick with people, you give people a second chance, and that s the values that we ve had in our family, and i gave him more than a second
