you he s depressed right now because in his pea brain, he thought he was going to see thousands and thousands of people lining the route, cheering him on, and in reality, there ain t much there there were 50, 75 people on the side of the road, not a big crowd. not a big crowd that s an interesting split screen, maybe more interesting, with all due respect to the wonderful producers you have than the split screen with our mugs and the highway our producers are brilliant, and they are the best in the business and so i ll underscore that point, and they have availed to us someone who s got sort of situational awareness and that is my colleague, nbc s garrett haake who s outside the courthouse not where trump is for those of you not familiar with new york city, trump lives uptown on fifth avenue near where all the fancy shops are and romcoms, the courthouse is way downtown
