Up, ted cruz is On Fox Defending Trump by saying the opposite. Theres no person on planet earth that believes donald trump has been sell celebate all of his life. Thats not news. We have a lot on Donald Trumps criminal Hush Money Trial. What a week it has been. Stormy daniels wrapping up testimony with a contentious and bizarre crossexamination from trumps legal term. Well get expert legal analysis on that and what we can expect in court today because its not over yet. Plus, we have reaction from capitol hill to President Bidens threat to withhold some Weapons Shipments to israel over its possible invasion of rafah. More republicans are krilt criticizing the president and hes facing backlash from democrats. And Kevin Mccarthy is having a hard time coping with the fact that mike johnson did something he could not. Well show you mccarthys dig at his successor.

washington post reports it, whether cnn reports it. that s easy for you to say. yeah, it s very easy for me but we re also a cancer fighting, to say that china s not paying their tariffs. hiv controlling, very easy to say that he knew joint replacing, about the payments to stormy and depression relieving company. from the day you re born daniels. you all have not been republican communicators in this we never stop taking care of you. country, and let me tell you, the incredulousness that we take from the media is not applied to democrats, and why is that? it s because these fact checkers are usually liberals themselves, and they see the world facts don t have a political angle. a lot of this isn t facts. a lot of this is perspective, and they really read into it. wow. i love the gum ball image. it is either true or it is not, and 12,019 of those are false and misleading. i disagree with that that it s true or it s not. a lot of it is perspective. you can disagree
a federal judge ruled that the subpoena was valid and they needed to hand over the records to congress. the president appealed and that brought us to today. the u.s. circuit court of appeals in d.c. where we got to hear, not read, but hear president trump s new personal lawyer, william cons voy making his case that they shouldn t hand over the records. the argument itself turned out to be astonishing, because the case the lawyer is making to the d.c. circuit court of appeals is that congress can t get the subpoena or these materials because they have no power to oversee the president they have no power to access any information that would allow them to oversee the behavior of the president. you can hear the incredulousness in the judge s voice in response to them making this argument i mean it literally, you can actually hear it we have the tape of it and that s next. stay with us
at least entertaining and maybe a little refreshing. look. the reality is trump is the master communicator to know what master communicators know. people may not remember what you say and remember what you did, but they will always remember how you made them feel. and so he creates an event. he creates a happening, something you had to be there to really witness. and that s really what people are looking for. i think probably the average voter is a real conservative voter to have jeb bush s record, but donald trump s presentation. that s a good way to put it. someone used a good word to me the other day, he is if nothing else a catalyst. trump has the party thinking about what they really want and everybody sharpening their elbows for a fight. the question is, what do they wind up going with? remember that number from our poll, jackie, 58% of those polled in the gop did not believe their best chance was with trump. so there is opportunity for someone else. what did you see in jeb bus
how poorly the whole sequester fight has gone for the white house because a general rule of thumb going back decades when there is high-profile budget fight between the president and congress in washington the president almost always wins and he is losing this thing because he overplayed his hand with exaggerating the effect of the sequester before it took effect. and then, this white house tour thing has been a debacle. martha: when you look at sort of the big picture here, doug, i think this is something that resonated with the americans alot, they were told this would be such a big scary thing this sequester. $85 billion. you look back to the hurricane sandy aid, $50 billion. you start to sort of have, there is incredulousness believing that these billions matter. why is it fine for them to go in one place and disasterous if we give up nearly same amount of money for it to go in another direction? i think people feel like they re just not getting the whole story. i think that s ri
