One day after cruised a portion of the wreckage as they work to read to refloat the vessel thanks very much for watching eri Burnett Outfront starts right now outfront next sparks fly. I was in the courtroom as trumps attorney went to battle with Michael Cohen, a brutal start for trumps attorney, but wasnt enough to sink cohen. Plus it out front exclusive Stormy Daniels husband speaking out for the first time what he said, he had stormy will do if trump is found not guilty. And breaking news, President Biden now reportedly sending his National Security advisor to israel. Will this trip the enough to pull netanyahu back . Fullscale invasion of rafah. Lets go out front and good evening. Im erin Burnett Outfront tonight, a crying Little Expletive. It got ugly in the Hush Money Case Today For Trump and right away, i mean, right off the bat, that was just one of the first leinz trumps defense attorney, Todd Blanche Confronted Star Witness Michael Cohen, width as the crossexamination began this afternoon. So i was there watching as trumps former fixer went toetotoe with the trumps attorney and as i said, it was literally i mean, basically the first line, trumps attorney todd blanche starts his questioning by confronting Michael Cohen and hes he whether he was pretending to be or truly angry, he came off off. So angry that he was shaking and he pulls up a video that Michael Cohen and posted on tiktok and he said you went on tiktok and you called me a crying Little Expletive, didnt you . I mean, it was just so intense. Now, cohen responds sounds like something i would say trump leaned forward is blanche went on to grill cohen about other profanitylaced posts and this sort of intersperse tire afternoon, one of them was you refer to President Trump when he left the courtroom, you said that quote, he goes right into that little cage which is where he belongs in an effing cage like an animal if you, recall saying that, asks blanche cohen replies. I recall saying that again and again. Blanche tried to portray cohen is someone who is consumed with his hatred for trump. In fact, using the word obsessed and quoting it from one of trumps up, from one of cohens Books Blanche showed the jury a photo of cohen wearing this tshirt of trump in an orange jumpsuit. And a Month A Gleich that cohen cells online which reads, send him to the big house, not the white house. And the questions were fast and furious. Cohens answers were generally extremely short many times just saying Something Like sounds like something i would say now, cohen recently told me he was ready for trumps team to hit him hard, especially after seeing he said how they went after Fulton County de a fani willis, whom the trump team is still trying to get kicked off the Election Interference Case in georgia nobody, wants to do this. This isnt fun. Likud well, for example, with fani willis today, they get personal, they get nasty and i expect mine to be as nasty if not nastier than the questions that were thrown at fani willis hey, its gonna get even nastier as the cross continues blanche is the way skilled prosecutor he took on filing criminals and actually had worked in the same office as the Da Prosecuting Trump Alvin Bragg the formerly registered democrat, blanche is now changing his tune hes not registered republican and hes bought a home near maralago. He actually left his law firm and has gone out on his own with one big client, and he now works out of trumps 40 Wall Street building. And just about to state the obvious todd blanche is betting his future on trump you have a District Attorney indicting a former president United States, that is never, ever happened before and so being part of something where most of your briefing or most of your arguments at some point youre saying to the judge, this has never happened before, right . It is historic. The end though, is insight. Prosecutors say cohen is their final witness at the end of the day, blanche indicated that he was on track to finish his cross on thursday. Well see if he sticks to that. And the defense has left open the door to calling donald trump himself, which could change the timetable here paula reid is outfront live outside the new york courthouse tonight paula, what began as a very aggressive and direct crossexamination with blanche confronting cohen with the expletives that cohen had called blanch then took a very long and windy roads sort of going off here, coming back, going off theyre coming back yeah. It really did blanch jumped all over the timeline of this case and erin are told that is strategic because they know that cohen was prepared by prosecutors for a linear chronological, direct examination. Thats where he feels confident. So this approach was meant to throw him off his game. Now so far doesnt seem like its working, but we still have a long way to go Michael Cohen back on the Witness Stand Today facing tough questions from prosecutors and defense attorneys, were you have to set trump cohen trump attorney todd blanche came out swinging his first question to cohen. You went on tiktok and called me a crying Little Expletive just before the trial again, nodding in agreement, cohen said, sounds like something i would say trying to frame the witness as motivated by revenge. Blanche, question cohen about something he said on his podcast and october 2020, i truly expletive trump ends up in prison. Blanche press cohen on how he continues to defy prosecutors requests to stop talking about the case. Is it fair to say prosecutors have repeatedly asked you to stop publicly commenting on this case . Yes. Cohen replied, blanche noted that Cohen Profits from his relentless attacks on trump and on his its podcast, wore a Shirt Showing trump behind bars and you were encouraging people to buy it. Blanche asked. Yes, its part of the merch store. Said cohen. Blanche asked if on his podcast, cohen called trump a boris cartoon massage dentist, and a chito dusted Cartoon Villain that also sounds like something i said ed cohen admitted he was then asked if he was obsessed with trump. I wouldnt say obsessed. I admired him tremendously before he faced off with trumps attorneys prosecutors walked cohen through the documents at the heart of the criminal case, 11 checks. He says he received totaling 420,000 theyre submitting 11 falsified invoices marked for legal services. Were any of those checks in fact, for work during the months described in those check stubs, prosecutor asked no, maam. He responded. All part of the alleged conspiracy to pay cohen back the 130,000 in hush money. He paused similarly paid to Stormy Daniels. He also described how his relationship with Trump Unraveled as he came under federal Criminal Investigation and ultimately decided to break with trump and plead guilty to multiple charges in 2018, cohen are called how he felt after the fbi searched his home office and hotel room in 2018 . How to describe your life being turned upside down, concerned, despondent, angry. Cohen described a conversation he had with trump after the fbis search. The last time he says they ever spoke, he said to me, dont worry, im the president of the United States theres nothing here. Everythings going to be okay stay tough. Youre going to be okay. Cohen said, i was scared. I wanted some reassurance that mr. Trump had my back especially as this dealt with issues that related to him. He credited a conversation with his family, which she says convinced him to finally turn on trump. And begin telling in the truth. My wife, my daughter, my son all said to me, why are you holding onto this loyalty . What are you doing . Were supposed to be your first loyalty cohen said, i made a decision based again on the conversation i had with my family, that i would not lie for President Trump anymore. Cohen will be back on the stand thursday. Thats the last day of court. We have this week next week the defense is expected to call a few witnesses. Another client needs to decide if you too will take the stand. But aaron, at this point, it appears unlikely we will have a verdict in this case. For memorial day. All right. Thank you very much. Uh, paula. And everyones here with me, so norm, i was sitting behind you today you said yesterday that cohen took the prosecution across the rubicon, that everyone every prosecutor has to cross, right . That you that he had he needed to do that. He needed to prove that trump directed all of this but today, none of that even came up. I mean, blanche spent all this time showing that cohen hates trump and showing that cohen has profited off of state from trump. That was the de i was befuddled by todd blanches crossexamination e has a good reputation. I think that today we saw in that corner but room the tyranny of expectations, both ways. The expectations were very high for blanche, he disappointed coming Out Of The Box with objectional objectionable questions that were about him and co you are crying little had nothing to do with the case of very stern Revenue Furman from the judge got off on a bad foot. He meandered all over the map and then cohen benefited from low expectations. Everyone thought he would have a hard time on cross. He was disciplined. He was credible it was a bad start for blanche in and a good one for cohen, but as paula said, we have a long way to go. Blanche. Blanche had better throw out that big notebook that he brought with him today, tear it up, and start again tomorrow because it aint workin was there are any rhyme or reason to me because my notes today, i kept actually taking something that he would say, but how much money did you make on a book . And then i would just go put it up next to my notes about how much did you make on a different book because blanche kept coming back to the same point seemingly without purpose. What was the purpose to throw Michael Cohen, i mean or was it just not well organized. Well, no. Is start with this. This is the third time i am agreeing with norm. I dont know what that means, but i do think cohens stood up very well and i do think blanche did a poor job. He was all over the place maybe he wanted to throw cohen off, but i think hes throwing the jury off. You need to go sequentially. You meet the jury to understand what your points are and his points were, youre making money off of this, youre bias, youre not credible and you hate trump. Those were the points he was trying to make instead were all wondering where are you going . What is this winding road doing for us . I dont think he did a very good job. This is sort of one thing if you want to read real your big reveal, but you gotta give people some sort of a roadmap. Now jeremy, whats interesting is at the beginning, when blanche came out and there is a room in the courthouse, right where theres a lot of reporters and theres tv screens. Whats going on, youre not actually in the courtroom. So theres a little bit more reaction that room when when blanche starts off saying, you didnt you call me crying little you know. Okay. And theres eruption of laughter now on the actual courtroom, its completely stoic. But what was the reaction was a huge reaction. And so this room, it has probably about, i can have as many as like the 100 reporters and then theres about four rows of public. And so the public, they are lining up is our overnight lineups camping out to get in this courtroom and only about six or eight members of public, well get into the actual courtroom every day. Another 20 or so, get into the main courtroom and because were not in the courtroom, they can react. And obviously theres selfselecting. These are people who want to see this trial. Im actually not on trump, sayyed, i would say. And so there was a big reaction when when blanche started with that line and cohens response im going a couple other leinz he said there was that. Did you call trump aide chito dusted Cartoon Villain . And so when that went, stuff like that happens, you get a big reaction from the public. Who is there and does not have to be in court with the judge even in the courtroom, there was a little bit of a stuffy old snicker, a stifle to snicker, i must say just because youre talking about a tito dustin person, theres something farcical about the whole thing. Ryan, one thing though that stood out to me was in all of this blanche trying to portray Michael Cohen is a liar. No, Michael Cohen, of course, is admitted to lying, saying he did so to help trump. Right. But thats at the heart of this case. Is Michael Cohen saying yes, i did that. But blanche was emphasizing it. That was one exchange that i wanted to ask you about of how you think this went. But blanche is asking cohen about his testify his testimony to robert molar and the molar investigation it goes like this blanchette to cohen, is non Accurate Information. Ally cohen says, sure. Blanche. Says, again, is it a lie . Cohen says it was inaccurate. Yes. Blanche, was it a lie . Cohen . I dont know if i would characterize it at ally as a lie. It was inaccurate then cohen eventually says it wasnt truthful. You want to call it a lie . Ill call it a lie but that went on for a long time. Was that a Good Exchange . Not from Michael Cohen . And i think thats a Good Exchange for the defense team because what Michael Cohen is saying in that moment is, oh, that might have been inaccurate, but its not a lie. And then if i were a member, for the jury, i might think, well, wait a minute. Are you lying to us now . Like youre giving us so much testimony or you in your mind or youre telling us Michael Cohen, youre considering that and inaccuracy and not ally because youre splicing its so finally, so i dont think thats a good luck at the end. He does say, look, if you want to call that a lie, ally, im happy to call it that. So he recovers at the end that Exchange Just not a positive one. Yeah. I mean, what did you make of that . Hes refusal to just say ally was a lie it was not a high point of Michael Cohens afternoon, but those moments when blanche was able to score a point or few and far between he committed the cardinal sin of crossexaminati on. It was so tangled up at points that it was boring. It actually were some of the first boring moments. And all of the 19 or so days of this trial that weve had. So he because the prosecution is it headon points and because i believe with cohens testimony, if hes believabull, they have established proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This was not an easy case. Blanche had to really push cohen back across the line, scoring a couple of jimmys is not going to do it. Now, maybe hell come out swinging on thursday. Well, it is when you start a Examination Up with did you call me a crime little okay. You think okay. This is the this is a good date of 20 minutes later. I mean, people are yani. What does prefer dramatic shift from overdrive to sleepiness, but then he did recover. Jeremy. What was the reaction . Because blanche did go through playing tiktoks of cohen, listing all the things to basically show that cohen hates trump. Now thats not a secret. Cohen doesnt pretend to not hate gop. I mean, he does, as he said, a podcast twice a week, talking about his dislike for trump. But the chito dusted Cartoon Villain as blanche coat puts it with deadpan. No, not even trying to be funny what was the reaction to that . And all these other nasty things that cohen had said. One of the most surprising things i saw today was the lack of reaction from donald trump. He, you know, when keith davidson, came and testified trump turned in his chair. He was watching it. He was it seemed like enjoying watching Stormy Daniels lawyer get grilled by his attorney today, we really saw none of that. Trump looked in cohens direction a couple of times to see what he was doing. But for the most part, trump was in his sort of zoned out. Im not listening to this. He had his eyes closed for long stretches of the testimony and it was surprising given how much, as you said, how much fireworks and sparks we were expecting. And will there be a lot more because obviously, blanche has not yet done what blanche will do which is tried to make the case that took cohen did this on his own and trump didnt direct it. Thats the heart of this. He has even gotten there yet. He is not. I mean, if if e repeats his performance on thursday, then i think trump is in trouble even to the point that maybe trump would have to think. I do take the stand because at this point im losing. But thursdays a thursday and its a fresh day. Theres a lot of ammunition that the defense team has that has not been brought out today. And they can end Big On Thursday and then at the jury stew on ending big for three days because theres no trial on friday. Right. And the big things arent lying to congress, lying to a federal court. Than lying about lying as a federal judge recently session in which one was the lie . Because one of them is the lie and some of those lies that were crimes were committed for cohen on behalf of cohen, not cohen on behalf of donald trump so thats whats thursday is going to be about. But it also has to be in a way that does potentially unfurl. Michael cohen in a way in which didnt happen at all today. So that has to happen on thursday if it doesnt happen. And i think trump is in serious trouble, we havent talked much about what the prosecution did in the first half of the day, but they drew this thing. They fronted those leinz so that will make it tough on thursday, right . The jury has heard them is not is not gonna be. All right. All thank you. Next and outfront exclusive. Stormy, daniels husbands speaking out for the first time. What he says he and stormy, daniels will do if trump is found not guilty. Plus it was a whos who of vp hopefuls in that room today, we saw them are pining republicans, lining up outside trumps trial ill just show their loyalty and some of them that theyve ramaswamy governor burgum, and theyre all day do any of them stand a chance of being picked for their loyalty and breaking news, the Wall Street Journal just reporting that biden is ready to move forward with a mass of 1 billion new arms deal for israel.

So like other people have it price tag, go to harrys. Com slash tv to clean your 5 trial im Kayla Tausche at the white house, and this is cnn tonight and exclusive interview with Stormy Daniels husband. Hes speaking out for the First Time Since his wife, the woman at the center of trumps hush money trial, took the stand Barrett Blade has been by Stormy Daniel side for 25 years. They knew each other long before daniels met trump. The two spent decades is friends and coworkers making it official is husband and wife twoandahalf years ago, and Barrett Blade is out front now, so barrett, i really appreciate your time and youre choosing urine stormy, choosing for you to to speak now. I mean, stormy spent more than seven hours on the stand. She was there for over two days. Obviously, its the first time she was facetoface with trumps since 2007, and i was in that room. I mean, there are only ten or 15 feet apart for those hours and hours how does she feel now that her testimony is behind her i mean, i dont think she feels any differently, maybe a little relief to not have to be stressed about going in there, but i mean, i think she feels the same way. She always says felt about it and you know on that this process, it has taken a long time. So when do you mean you just talk about the stress of that moment . I mean, the preparation, i mean intense preparation then the waiting in the waiting and the delays of the trial, then actually having to come testify me to actually get on a plane, come and do it how much stress did all that put on her with Everything Else in her life she just wants to get on with their life and the fact that it keeps coming back over and over and over it creates a lot of stress. I think that to have to relive these moments over as much as its boring for the media to keep hearing it over and over again it sucks for her to have to keep saying the same thing over and over and over again. It wears honore, but shes a warrior and i think she needed to get her her final say so that she can move on with your life and you have been by her side. As i said, throughout all of this for so many years as you know, when she did testify, the defense then tried to tear her apart. It was a purposefully denigrate crossexamination you could you could hear it in the voice of the attorney what was it like for you as a stormys husband to hear all of that i mean, look, im used to hearing all the kind of hate them. Im a Dallas Cowboys but for her, she shes shes so experienced with it right now. It doesnt bother me as much as eso tell you, like twitters or favorite sports, shes kinda used to all of this i think shes probably more prepared than anything for those type of comments because thats kind of witch she gets all the time from twitter and from all her social media. So i think i think that almost help prepare her you know, all the native all the negative the negative comments but for me personally i dont really i dont really follow i dont really get on the social media and all the hate and all the tweets and all that stuff. So for me personally, it doesnt really affect me unless effexor if she comes back in some hurts her, then thats when thats when it bothers me you know, i mentioned that the tone of the defense crossexamination barrett and they did repeatedly tried to shame her and shame her career specifically, there was one exchange i wrote rid of down when i was in the room, but the trumps lawyer says youve acted in porn in 21 sex films, right . And stormy replies, Including Comps Compilations lawyer says and youve also written and directed 150 sex films, you said in your your direct, is that correct . And stormy replies, give or take. And the lawyer says, so this was your career for over 20 years, writing, acting, and directing sex films, right . Stormy says yes. Then the lawyer says barrett suv, a lot of experience and making phony stories about sex appear to be real, right . And im sizing the words here because there was a lot of tone in it and store me stops and says, wow, and then she laughs and she goes, thats not how i would put it. The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room what do you hear there i mean, the tone of the questions was purposefully denigrating about everything stormy did about her life and about her career what does stormy think about the way those questions were asked . I mean, once again, i think the career that we chose early on, shes been getting that for since you started doing points. Hes kinda kind of his to that kind of thing people were trying to slip samer since since day one. And shes probably what she does you no, shes not shes she does not think that sex is a negative thing. You know, section looked at as such a forbidden taboo. Its a very american thing to think that way. And as far as as far as the comments i mean, i think shes dead on i dont think shes ashamed of all of it, and i agree. I think shes a brilliant writer, so if that stuff that these bony sex, or she would have written something way better than what you about the trump story. Its she did come back very quickly there when she said thats not how so i would put it the sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room. I mean, she she didnt take a second even pause and say that yeah. And i think theres a common afterwards about that she made up the story just like she writes her, or her stories. In our movie Something Like that. And she said, no, i would have written it a lot better. She got greece, shes a writer. See what it wrote in a lot more entertaining and with a lot better person, i would imagine she didnt she did absolutely say that. So about when you install me have had a chance to talk about this since she testified have you discussed what happens when you talk about her trying to get on with her life. If trump is found not guilty if chubb has felt like not guilty, i think theres a i mean either way, i dont think he gets better for her i think if its not guilty we got to decide what to do good chance. Well probably vacate this country if he is found guilty, that shes still got to deal with all the hate that feel like shes the reason that hes guilty from all of his followers. So i dont see it as a when situation either way. I know that we would like to get on with our lives. I know that she wants to move past this. We want we just want to do what i guess we would say normal people get to do and some aspects but i dont i dont know if that ever will be no and it breaks my heart, breaks my heart. Some of the things that she has to go through that people dont realize, you know, we we i guess, for example you know, everybody has their agenda for at this point and i dont see people fighting back for her, for instance e jean carroll, although were super happy that everything that happened for happened stormy opened the door, but stormy got sued for the exact same two comments. And she ended up getting legal fees. Hes got to pay for, but no one wants to help her with that. Are the womens groups. She knows she fights for womens groups all day long i dont see anyone doing go fund me is to try to help with her legal fees and to help her out and micro, avenatti, he did a gut gofundme to try to help her and they end up stealing all her money it just theres a list that goes on and on and on and she donated to the Hurricane Relief and louisiana she has all these great things and knows boeing comes back and helps her out. So thats thats the biggest heartbreak i think everything thats going on right now is that shes fighting for everybody and no ones fighting for her. And thats what makes me the most upset about all of the situation. Now, when you talk about wanting to get on with your life and if hes found not guilty, that you may be forced to leave the country. I mean, just the disruption to your entire life, your entire life together into her life i just wanted to show some of the pictures that you shared of her and you because you have known each other for 25 years and obviously youre married now, as she shared one of us with us of you teaching her daughter had to put in Contact Lenses in a moment from your honeymoon where youre dancing to your wedding song, write something that almost everybody does. And you filmed her on your honeymoon as well. Im just going to play a brief clip from that barron i today. We dont i mean bag, you know, when you play that, it just if people didnt know who she was, right . If they didnt know are Stormy Daniels its just the normal side of that most people know, but certainly they havent seen her in that context before. So in this context, when you talk about people not knowing her what do you want people to really know about who she is and what the biggest misperception is. There out there that people still have of her i want people to know that sees a brilliant mother. Shes a great partner she shes very talented. Hes brilliant writer, Director List goes on and on what people dont like. I think everyone thinks this is a lot like democrats are funding this whole thing or some crazy stuff like that. But like shes doing all of this because shes doing what she feels is right for this country and for the people in this country and for the future of her daughter and i think most. People think that shes doing this for money she rich, rich. We dont have millions of millions of dollars, you know, we dont. In fact, even to do the case, she had to come out of her own pocket the fly up there, get a hotel her own food, and im sure theyll theyll reimburse her at some point, but no ones front and the bills for any of this stuff. This is all her fighting for which she believes is right. And telling the truth and i dont think a lot of people realize that i think they theres a lot that believe what the media feeds feeds them and they believe the leinz and nobody fact checks anymore when hides behind their digital wall. And believes what theyre told him and its just scary state in our country right now. Its very, very scary barrett. I appreciate your time and thank you very much for sharing all this yeah, no problem next, we are just learning what trump is now bragging about in private on his way to court. Weve got this new reporting coming up next, plus new poll showing biden trailing trump in several key swing but biden told me that the polls are wrong. Is he right . Or is it Wishful Thinking .

Im tom, four minutes earning trump is privately bragging that hes getting more Media Attention around this trial. Then he would on the campaign trail, this is according to a source who heard about trumps conversation today with House Speaker mike johnson on his way to court contradicting complaints like this from the former president the republican nominee for president , awaiting every ball and i have a gag order. So i think its totally unconstitutional in the fourth week, ive been stuck in here for four weeks in front now, ronan farrow contributing writer for the new yorker, who has done extensive reporting on trumps hush money payments, and who wrote the book catch and kill lies, spies, that conspiracy to protect predators. Ronen of course, is a lawyer as well, and ronan, i know youve been speaking to your sources all around this case as we are now in week for what are they telling you about Michael Cohens testimony tonight well, its important to remember that Michael Cohen going on the stand this week was a lynchpin of the case. Prosecutors wanted to convey to jurors the way theyve structured their argument is that they had witnesses related to a dean between donald trump and am i at the Time Parent Company of the National Enquirer that david pecker, the head of that outfit, saying, yes, there was a scheme. We had a conversation with trump where we agreed we were going to capture stories that could be unflattering during the election and run other stories that could be flattering then they proceeded to have Trump Organization folks talk about the concealment of the transactions that are at the center of the case. Now, the lynchpin thats still needed to happen from a prosecutorial standpoint, was someone who could say donald trump ordered that concealment directly. And thats the role Michael Cohen in plays. And Michael Cohen on the Stand Yesterday and especially today, really, did what prosecutors needed in that respect. There were a lot of potential downsides to having Michael Cohen on the stand. He has a history of by his own admission, lying to congress and another prominent places he is viewed as someone who and be a loose cannon at times, and he had been early on in this trial. But over the last two weeks, hes been quite disciplined. And on the stand today, he was disciplined. He had a very sober posture, and attitude, and he made the points that prosecutors needed to him to make chiefly that donald trump was in direct and regular conversation with him about this concealment. And that is what its all about. Of course, youve got another day of cross coming and well see what todd blanche does today as we pointed out, was quite meandering and unclear exactly where it was going. Well see what happens on thursday rohann, just a minute ago, i spoke with stormy, daniels husband and i asked him what he and stormy are going to do if trump is found not guilty and he had a pause as he thought about it, said they had talked about it, and then he said this ronan if trump is phone not guilty, i think theres a either way, i dont think he gets better for her i think if its not guilty, we got to decide what to do good chance. Well probably vacate this country i mean, you know were going to just it makes you think obviously a lot of people who have interacted with trump have seen their lives uprooted, all sorts of people, right . Allen weisselberg, that chief Financial Officers and testifying because hes in Rikers Island trumps former white house adviser, peter navarro, federal prison in florida, manafort served time but now you hear this from Stormy Daniels as a witness, right in this case, the toll that this has taken on her life, it is the wide swath of destruction here. Its just something to think about. It is indeed, and Michael Cohen, of course, is one of those people who served time as part of the fallout for his activities with trump around all of this, youre exactly right in characterizing it as a wide swath of Destruction Donald Trump likes to point out that the transactions at the heart of this case, were about something not that concept sequential him concealing things like infidelity, but the concealment itself is something that was elaborate as prosecutors have pointed out, and as Michael Cohen pointed out on the stand today, and something that caused a lot of destruction in a lot of peoples lives. And prosecutors are trying to assert to jurors that it caused a destructive impact. For voters to who deserved access to Accurate Information during the election, all right. Of course, did not get it because this did not come out because the payment. All right. Ronen, thank you very much. Good to see you. Of course. Always a pleasure, erin. All right. Next, the tryouts to be trumps vp today, i saw it in the courtroom. You saw them inside all day.

The prosecutions main strategy appears to be two bohr the jurors into submission both of them outside the courthouse today and breaking news, the Wall Street Journal reporting biden is ready to move forward with a massive billiondollar weapons deal for israel even as israel appears poised to cross bidens red line why choose asleep numbers, smart bad can i made my side softer .

Only pay for what you need labor day this is cnn the worlds news network tonight, vp additions at the courthouse, president Donald Trumps allies, many of them vp hopefuls showed up. It to his hush money criminal trial. Each of them showcasing their loyalty by publicly slamming the trial is a sham or insulting the witnesses are going after judge Juan Merchans daughter during trumps dirty work, because trump cant say those things because hes under the gag order. So today there were a lot of them and i saw many of them in the courtroom Speaker Mike Johnson was outside, came all the way into newark to be outside and talked about Michael Cohen this is a man who has clearly on a mission for personal revenge. He is someone who has a history of perjury and as wellknown for it no one should believe a word he says today the judge inside his daughter is making millions of dollars running against donald trump, raising money for Donald Trumps political opponents in the world where i came from, business this would have been a a nonmaterial classification error at best, it might have been tried to two misdemeanor. The prosecutions main strategy appears to be two bohr, the jurors into submission it is depressing that courtroom is depressing mental anguish is trying to be pushed on republican candidate for the president , United States nearly every person you just heard there has been floated to be trumps vp pick. So harry enten is out front to go beyond the number. So this is clear. Tom felt that its nice to have eric there sometimes lovely its nice that Borussia Epstein there every day. Beautiful, but he wanted, he wanted his loyalty shelf. So today was a big day. Hey, jd vance vivek ramaswamy, governor burgum, they were all there and burgum was there all day long, end of the De Bergman Vivek were still there. Jd vance was not. But this is the vp stakes. This is the vp stakes. We spoke last night about how in the betting Markets Doug Burgum at this particular point is the front runner, but hes the front runner and hes only got a 24 chance of being the nominate, the vp nominee, trumps are up pick. There are 13 candidates at this point that 2 chance or greater of being trumps vp, that is there are a lot of different options. And the reason why i mentioned those beyond the front runner is because you can go back in time and look at the betting odds at this point over the last few cycles where we didnt know who the vp would be. You go back to 2008, sarah palin had a 5 chance is less point, paul ryan had a 5 chance at this 0. 2. Thats mike pence said i wanted percent. Nobody thought he was going to be the vp he picked so i think this sort of audition, this Apprentice Vp is out there because maybe theres someone whos going to show up at that courtroom who were not even thinking about at this point and they can perhaps impressed trump and trump becoming a presses, you know what . Maybe ill make you my Vice President , right . I mean, maybe thats about me, but just watching it today. I mean, its like this a congo pageants. Its a pageant as trump would like to say, those. So okay. This comes as the Battleground Polls that have come out recently have been good for trump and not good for biden. Now, when biden and i spoke last week, he expressed disdain and frustration. Four polls in general take in terms of how they are judging him on the economy. Heres what he said weve already turned it around. Look, look at the Michigan Survey for 65 American People think theyre in good shape economically, i think the nations not in good shape. But theyre personally good shape. The polling data has been wrong all along. You, how many you guys do a poll . Cnn how many pokes you have to call to get one response the idea that were in a situation where things are so bad that folks, i mean weve created more jobs so he doesnt like the pulse. He doesnt like what theyre showing right now. Is he right or is it Wishful Thinking . He loved the polls four years ago when they shot him ahead. These are the same polls now, but heres the thing. The polls can be right at this point, and then keep in mind, we still have six months until the Election Polls can change plenty. You go back over history. You look back since 1972, the average difference between the poles at this point and the final result, six points. The biggest difference was 15 points and 1980 swaying. When do caucuses ahead and even on election day, polls can be off substantially and people point that out. And what, what is history show . Yeah, you know, talk about the battleground states. Look at the arrows on election day and the average battleground states, the polls were off six points since 1972 in 2020, they were all five points so for talking about one, two point leads in these battleground states, the polls could be showing one thing and then the other person had certainly win. And that would show historically true because we know, but people are going to say, oh, who knows fraud, whatever, look at history, it always happens, harry, thank you. Hello. Thank you.

Ai ai or download the app Anderson Cooper 360 next on cnn breaking news, President Biden is moving forward with more than 1 billion in new Weapons Deals for israel, the package includes 700 million in tank ammo, 500 million and tactical vehicles 60 million in more for rounds. Now th is according to the Wall Street Journals reporting this hour biden proceeding with this deal, even as israel is on the edge of a fullscale invasion into rafah, a red line that President Biden drew loudly and clearly on this program they go into rafah. Im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities that deal with that problem. Were going to continue to make sure because youre is secure in terms of iron dome and their ability to respond to attacks like came out the least recently. But its assists wrong. Were not going to were not going to supply the weapons and Artillery Shells use that have been used shells as well. Yeah, i totally shelf i want to go now to barak ravid, cnn political and Global Affairs analyst, also the politics and Foreign Policy reporter for axios and brock. This reporting from the Wall Street Journal tonight to proceed with weapons transfers, including tank ammo, and other things after publicly drawing a red line and being so explicit about it, how does this make biden look i think, that this report, again, i hate to shoot down someone elses story, but, you know, it has nothing to do with ralph it does nothing to do with bidens red line the reason is first, because israel still did not start a major Ground Invasion of rafah can therefore did not cry plus bidens red line and therefore it did not trigger any suspension of arms transfers. And second, because everything that is in this package is weapons that werent even produced yet by the industry. In the and some of it will take months until we will be produced and transfer to israel and some of it will take as long as three years to be sent to israel. So again, theyre not used for a rafah offensive. When you lay it out i understand that, but but i mean, in terms of also, do you think just the announcement itself, do you think that there is perhaps an understanding or that netanyahu is going to back off or no i dont know. I think the jury is still in any case that as far as i know, the Biden Administration did not say that its Spending Arms Sales to israel its a one. Arms shipments of 3,500 bombs for Fighter Jets Biden said that if israel goes into rafah in a major Ground Invasion, he will suspend more offensive weapons. This still hasnt happened, therefore, for right now, theres no as far as i understand it, theres no change in bidens arms two pi policy to israel. Well, and i think significant as you point out, and we just with the details, youre giving that even if one were to look at this announcement as possibly giving israel what they want to do, what they want to cross the red line, youre saying it takes months or years for these weapons even get there. I mean, i think the context that youre giving barack is crucial. I know that you have new reporting in terms of where this red line is tonight, just very basically the conversations between biden and netanyahu your reporting that the National Security adviser, jake sullivan, is headed to israel. So whats the significance of that in this moment from your reporting, barack so first i think that this trip buys another few days for the Biden Administration when it comes to rafah, because the understanding between the white house and the Israeli Prime Ministers Office that israel will not significantly, significantly expand its Operation Rafah before sullivan arrives in it israeli, its expected to be, i think on sunday then a few days after sullivan comes back to washington, either late next week or the week after, theres going to be a high meeting inperson at the white house between teams from the us and israel, exactly about the operation in rafah can i suspect . The this understanding to lets say, put on hold the further expansion of the Operation Rafah will continue until after that meeting. I think the Biden Administration managed to buy another lets say, a week or two, two weeks be
