And a massive tornado strikes Central Texas with damage and some injuries reported ahead. Well have the latest details and the forecast as more severe storms could be on the way 6 00 a. M. Here in washington. Heres a live look at New York City and some man look at that beautiful sunrise. Love it. Great way to start the weekend. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its great To Be With You sex lies and donald trump on audio tape as the first ever criminal trial of a former president continued for another sorted day, the jury appearing to hanging on every word as that they heard a call between trump and his then lawyer, Michael Cohen that cohen had secretly recorded heres the tape need to open up a company for the transfer of all the info regarding our friend david i spoke to alan about it when it comes time for the financing, which will be well, i have to pay yourself getting old on. I have to pay with cash trump and his lawyer were seeing conferring and studying the transcript as this plate as for the sex and the lies earlier in the de Stormy Daniels lawyer was pressed on why her Statement Back i can 2018 denying a sexual or romantic affair with trump was technically speaking accurate davidsons answer, quote, i think youd have to hone in on the definition of romantic sexual and affair. Davidson said, i dont think that anyone had alleged that any interaction between she and mr. Trump was romantic . Anyone else wondering what definition of is is lets remember, it was jimmy kimmel who pressed Stormy Daniels about this very question back in 2018 depending on anything, did you sign this letter that was released today . I dont know that wait a minute. That you can say with like my signature does, it doesnt look like your signature, so youre saying perhaps this letter was written and released without your approval you know where it came from. Do you have any idea . I do not know where you did not know where it came from . Here was Kimmel Last Night Celebrating what is apparently a National Milestone i dont want to brag, but first, we need to do since evidence at the criminal trial for president United StatesJohnny Carson and get that one nixon, we got in here. Why was i not asked to testify . Its outrageous im going to start soon, people i dont know. I really and i think i could keep trump awake during the trial. One of the all right. Or panels here, david from the atlantic shore, michael singleton, former Deputy Chief Of Staff at hud or republican strategist, former white house senior policy adviser, Ashley Alison, also democratic strategist. David, i just decided that the only way to deal with any of this is humor because i mean, the, the litany of things we learned yesterday at this trial, taking us all back to this time where trump was grappling with this Michael Cohen okay. Sorry, its friday i just hand the floor to you when racing okay. Im gonna make a serious point because it is absurd and squalid and repulsive situation. Heres the serious point and for people were thinking about the future and how theyre going to vote. The american political system has found it possible the american legal system to hold trump to account for all of us squalid play a boy apprentice era gross stuff were good at that, but were not able to do is to hold him to account for trying to overthrow the government of the United States. Those trials are going to be indefinitely postponed. Now, trump is nearing at, hes probably passed his squalid playboy high jinx era. Maybe not, but probably might imbedded, not going to be moderate a modern medicine is impressive. So he may be able to do other gross but hes not passed his attacks on government of the United States. So when people tell you, well, the cyst, if he returns office, the system will be able to hold him to account. The institutions will be able to hold them to count, look at what the institutions are able to do and look, at what the institutions are not able to do and ask yourself which of those behaviors is likely to be repeated in future Trump Presidency is the antiinstitutional, the anti constitutional things that he may repeat. And those are the things we have not been able to hold them to account for. Yeah. I mean, sure. Michael is actually it is a very, very good point and this is the reason why everyone who has looked at all of this has viewed this particular trial as potentially the least damaging to trump because if at any if any, if anything, it plays into the hands of him saying this is all ridiculous, right well, it does deny that the delays in these other trials denies the americans the opportunity to know whether or not the justice the system convicted has more convicted of crimes conducted on and around january 6. On one point, david hugh hefner was over at im just throwing that out there. But with that said casey. I mean, you look at our own polling only around 30, 35 of americans say that this trial actually matters particularly when you compare to the other three its almost certain that the other three are not going to occur until after november. So far this has been salacious, has been interesting is like watching the live reality show in real time. But im not necessarily certain whether or not its going to make a difference because most voters look at trump and its one that surprised, maybe had a couple of mistresses. This is Billionaire Guy hanging out with a lot of play mates. I mean, its kinda like some guys dream to be the rich guy hanging around with beautiful women. Im not certain that thats going to translate politically. Two people said, well, i dont know if im going to necessarily vote for donald trump. So it is in his favorite and i do wonder quickly here will he get a hung jury . Because if he does and that gives him the ability to say see this is a political but what all right. Well, im ashley allison. I think we should i want to bring in something that we heard from dr. Trump on the Campaign Trail when he did when this trial took a break on wednesday, he went to swing states in michigan and wisconsin and he made a rather startling admission about something that happened on january 6, which was that he actually did say that he wanted to go to the capital as these rioters were pouring their watch trump remember the person that said, i attacked a secret Service Agent in the front of the car. Its not my df im a lover, not a fighter. This is crazy stuff i sat in the back and you know what i did say . I said id like to go down there because i see a lot of people walking down. They said, sir, its better if you doubt. I said, well, id like to id better if you dont. All right. Whatever you guys think is fine. That was the whole tone of the conversation. And on this trip, ashley, he gave an interview to the milwaukee journal sentinel, where he was asked whether he would accept the results of the election and he says, quote, if everythings honest, i will gladly accept the results. I dont change on that. If its not, you have to fight for the right of the country yes. One thing on the hush money case, i will just say is that i appreciate there might be a lot of men who want to deal with whatever you said, but there are a lot of women dont want their husbands to cheat on them. So theres a whole other part of the electorate level care about this case for Different Reasons. To this on a more serious note what this is groundhog day a little bit. He is literally telling us he is going to try and do january 6, 2. 0, maybe even a more escalated way that he wanted to go to the capital. We need to be paying attention. I know these cases there are so many, and i know that they can become confusing and you can kinda just become numb to them, but we cannot. This is our country, this is our democracy. Were talking about. And donald trump is literally lighting a flare saying i told you once you didnt believe me out, so im telling you twice, its going to be your fault if you dont an act accordingly yeah. I mean, david, i kind go back to january 6 when we learned there were all of these clues out there, what was going to happen that de and they were missed one of your one of your colleagues had on j. D. Vance on the air . We said he seriously doubted that the Vice President was was in danger of death, that de so first, thats the bar. The question is, we are now debating whether the president of the United States was intending actually to murder his Vice President. Maybe, yes, maybe no. But the denial also conceals what the plot was on that day and it was to get pants out of town and to get Somebody Else into the presiding fair, who could say yes to what the Vice President correctly was saying no to it. It ended up in violence because the plot didnt went awry. But there was a plot and although it was farfetched, it was not impossible. Trumps goal was to throw the election to the House Of Representatives at where the states vote, not by person, but by State Numbers theres republican delegation gets delegation. Republicans have fewer in those days, had fewer representatives, but more states they could have done it. And thats the plan, by the way, for the election that they have a head is two is one of trumps backup plans is to create these thirdparty ringers which are funded. The thirdparty super pacs, not the candidates themselves and subract are funded by republican donors, again, with the hope of denying if trump cant get a majority tonight to Somebody Else, throw it in the House Of Representatives, and then use chicanery or even the threat of violence to create result that is not the result of the people are going to vote for the case. See if i could quickly say with all of those facts, the fact that donald trump and President Biden neuron is assisted or dead. He says something and i wonder as i assess politics, who electorally, what, what are we missing why is there such a substantial number of americans were saying this matters . Yet, im still willing to support the former president over the turn it of enacts substantial. Ashley, im gonna give you a very quick last word on that. Why do you think that is if i had to answer that, i wouldnt be so we live in i think that because of the way that people consume media, i think that it is the way that donald trump, from the very beginning because attacks institutions and still has. So this doubt so that when the truth does come out, people are skeptical. All right, we have a lot more to talk about today.

Can get your first trump set for just 19 new this morning, the Biden Administration announcing theyre going to extend coverage under the Affordable Care act, obamacare to dreamers. That means that benefits for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the us as young children. Health and Human Services secretary Javier Becerra said is this quote, were committed to making Health Coverage accessible for all americans, including dhaka recipients, dreamers who have worked hard to live the American Dream and today take a major step toward meeting that goal. The new regulation likely to get pushback from republicans who opposed the idea last year, our panel is back. Ashley, let me just go to you on this this clearly, of course, in an Election Year is something that is going to be viewed through a political lens. But there are a lot of people who are going to have access to something that they previously didnt have yet. And i just want to point out these individuals who are going to get that access can actually vote in this election. So this is actually just the government doing thank good work for people who i think overwhelming majority of americans believed that dreamers should have a pathway to citizenship. They were on that pathway for some time and many of these folks have been living in limbo without coverage because of the rollback of daqqa. So this is good policy. It will obviously on the political side, play well with people who support immigration reform. And i dont think that this should be the fight that republicans take on because every time they go against talk, talking about the Affordable Care act and donald trump says he wants to roll it back. Americans like their health care, they want more health care and they think dreamer should have access to citizenship and also health care, understand what our present biden signing up for when President Obama introduced the daca program.
