while he sat slumped at the defense table. they didn t get to hear stormy daniels testimony and they didn t get to watch the judge clear the courtroom in anger as he butted heads with a truculent witness. instead americans had to rely on the words of reporters who were in the room making notes and writing down things we saw and experienced. things that a transcript cannot capture. that was something to behold. i could hear people gasping. i was not sure we were going to get a place where we had any guilty verdicts let alone all 34 accounts. todd blanche said he was writing checks from the white house. this was as professional a jury as you could get. what you ve heard about it being the courtroom israel. his eyes have been closed most of the morning and i cannot say what s happening behind those islets. guilty repeated over and over. tonight we welcome you to this special msnbc event. prosecuting donald trump. witness to history. andrew weissmann and i will e
Freedoms, if trump wins again, what we are facing is no dissent. and with no dissent we cannot challenge any of it. but if he wins again, there is no surprises about who donald trump is. in 2016 you could make the argument that people don t realize who he is. all of these people were no, no, you don t realize what you re in for. america knows exactly what they re in for. you say no. there seems to be a lot of delusion. you hear a lot about the trump arrow was great, the trump administration was great as if covid just did not happen. as if there is some reason that the last two years just don t count. i don t remember covid but i definitely remember infrastructure week. infrastructure week was every week. i feel like trump is the most selfish person in the world, and everything, down to how it revolves around me personally.
Policies, and donald trump is running on vibes. it is a vibes base campaign. and the question fundamentally when it comes to turnout is vibes is too polite a word. anger, resentment, ancient nightmares awakened in the bloodstream the people who feel like they re being threatened by non-threats. i have a different view. i want to see the person advising biden on the politics of immigration fired. i think he has been behind the curve on this. he has let the republicans take this to a place that should not go. from a narrative perspective, but not a policy perspective. what have they done on the policy front? from a narrative perspective, if he is doing what he is doing now, why could he not have done that months ago? fine. fine. you can argue with when he did it. but now he is doing it. now he is doing it. what have republicans done? nothing. they have objected to a deal that was apparently done, that was agreed to by republicans.
That person you are sending them into the arms of donald trump and going why on earth are these people voting for donald trump? because they are getting ignored. i am not saying they should be coddled, i am saying should we at least acknowledge them and get a basis of truth back to the center? this is part of what we are talking about when the new york times does what is going on the world? we ask trump voters. they don t care what they think. we don t have to be checking in with what they think. i also think it is the responsibility of white people to educate white people. it should not be placed upon bracken brown people and emigrants. i would like to know what it would take to achieve the persuasion that emigrants are not so scary. i would like a practical proposal before i decide to sort of center the feelings of people who are fed lies. what if you did not reject the fears? and i want to correct the record. i am not talking about coddling the fears of white people. i think
Boring. it s riveting. riveting is the perfect word to describe what it was like inside donald trump s trial. every trial is dramatic. it s why we all get addicted to tv shows like law and order and the wire, but this is real life, and it was no exception. but it is one thing to hear the news about it or if you re a nerd like me to read the cold transcript but tonight we re going to continue to learn from people who are inside the courtroom day in and day out, waking up at the crack of dawn to wait in line to get one of the few seats available to the public and the press at 100 center street here in manhattan. so tonight i m join bade very special legal panel who also spent many hours in the manhattan criminal courthouse. please welcome nbc senior legal correspondent and attorney laura jarrett, msnbc host, legal contributor, and like me a former criminal trial attorney, katie phang, and msnbc legal correspondent and a former big
