A day after the Hamas Massacre in October 7th, hezbollah began attacks against israel which forced more than 60,000 israelis on our northern border to leave their homes. Becoming refugees in their own land. Hezbollah turned vibrant towns in the north of israel, to ghost towns. Think about this in equivalent terms. Just imagine if terrorists turned toes in San Diego into ghost towns. How long would the american government tolerate that . A day . A week . A month . I doubt they would tolerate it even for a single day. Yet israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year. Well, ive come here today to say enough is enough. [ applause ] we wont are rest until our citizens can return safely to their homes. We will not accept a Terrorist Army on our northern border in order to perpetrate an October 7th style massacre. For 18 years, Hezbollah Brazenly refused to implement u. N. Security Council Re

the manhattantoday. they will be in tomorrow. but they won t be working on the donald trump hush money case. at least not right now. and that is about all that we know at this moment. it is unclear when the grand jury will be meeting on donald trump again. there is a report saying the case is taking a one-month break starting next week, but our nbc news team says to treat that pronouncement with caution. at minimum, d.a. alvin bragg can still use the grand jury tomorrow, next monday or next wednesday on donald trump. as always, our sources add the agenda is fluid, and can change at any moment. we re going to get an update from someone who used to work in the d.a. s office in just a second. there are also developments in the january 6th special counsel investigation. former vp mike pence now says he and his team are considering whether to appeal a federal judge s order to force him to testify. here he is in iowa today. when are you going to decide on any possible appeal of t
Right . You would have a pretty good sense of what he was going to be asked and a pretty good sense of how he was going to answer it. None of this goes perfectly from a prosecutors perspective. Danny will tell you, none of this goes perfectly from the Defense Attorneys perspective. This is why you have redirect.

I want to bring back our panel, vaughn hillyard, danny cevallos, catherine christian, and jeremy soland. Okay, jeremy, i just got new statistics in, are you ready . Are you sitting down . I am sitting. The total cohen time on the stand, 12 hours, 52 minutes. Total cohen cross, 4 hours and 40 minutes. High point, low point so far that the jurors may take away from this . I think the low point, depending how youre defining this is the cross. I dont think the cross has hammered home what the defense wants to hammer home. The high point for the prosecution is he was contrite, yeah, he lied. Again, may not want him to be your neighborho
