back to you in the witness -- in the studio. >> brian: putting us on trial. he will go for two or three days, i heard projections he would be on the stand two weeks. liar, not liar? he'll have paperwork, invoices, voicemail, liar aside, how you approach this while making sure you don't prove that michael cohen is telling the truth or prove donald trump is guilty. you can attack his credibility, you have to attack the receipts he has. >> lawrence: past statements will be allowed in the courtroom. how will he go back on previous statements? also, the jury is not suppose to be listening to media reports, he has been public. >> brian: nonstop. >> lawrence: question is, when he's been fundraising and putting donald trump in jump suits, how does that impact the jury? >> brian: my hope the defense counsel is going to school on what he has been saying. >> ainsley: if these are legal dependences, paying your attorney, is a legal xeexpense. st >> steve: he's made a lot of money writing books and talking about donald trump. >> ainsley: sorry to interrupt you, that is a trump building. >> brian: he had two trump apartments. >> steve: that is a headline right there. he's a prosecutor witness, prosecution does not have a lot of control over him. >> lawrence: the judge. >> steve: been taunting trump on tiktok. he wore a shirt with a picture of trump in orange jump suit and the judge said, have him be quiet. prosecutors don't have much leverage with him. this is a guy who has already spent time in jail. not like they can say, if you say what you are supposed to the stand, we will be lenient. >> brian: called michael cohen a jerk, pants on fire guy, a trump fixer because he broke things. >> ainsley: 2017, he said he will be in d.c., new york, anywhere trump deems necessary then he said, i don't want to go to the white house. in 2016, he said donald trump is not a racist and then in 2019, he said he is. and in 2016, words are generous, compassion, kind, humbled, honest and genuine. he said in 2019, he is capable of being kind, but he is not kind. >> lawrence: one witness that took the stand said he was upset he did not get air cabinet post. >> brian: he was suicidal. we know he wanted to go. >> ainsley: which michael cohen do you believe today? >> steve: which will show up? >> ainsley: right. >> brian: prompted by a raid on his office and i thought, he is sitting president of the united states, why are you in his office? something to do with the russia investigation, i thought was significant that zacaria put this in his monologue, this is something you should here hear. >> trials against him, keep him in the spotlight, enfour agricenfouriate his base. people in general believe his prosecutors are politically motivated. this happens to be true. i doubt new york indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name wasn't donald trump. >> lawrence: want to be a third-string prosecutor in man 4 hat an new york. why prosecute a case, department of justice said no, election commission said absolutely not, why does that happen? only for donald trump. >> steve: michael cohen will take the stage in an hour and 20 minutes pen ultimate witness. who will prosecution bring out to wrap things up to fix whatever he messes up. >> ainsley: it was supposed to be karen mcdougal, now they said they are not asking it. you know they have another one? >> steve: i read on friday, two more. stormy weather is something janice deals with and stormy daniels is -- easy to get confused. november election is heating up. new poll shows donald trump leading in five of six swing states. >> lawrence: rich edson live from the white house. >> these are not great poll numbers, "new york times" sienna poll shows battleground states, get a load of them, trump up in arizona and georgia. 49-42 in michigan, 50-24r5e9 38 in nevada and 45-47 for biden in wisconsin. president biden turns to the white house hfr a few days fundraising with tech executives and heading back to california next month for fundraising with george p. clooney and julia robertses and will hold a fund ra raiser with the clintons this summer. jersey shore for a campaign rally in wildwood trump promised he would win new jersey, place trump won in 2020. biden campaign says trump will rip ashes way american healthcare and drive up prescription drug costs for seniors and biden campaign had a video for mother's day, urging mothers to stop trump, former pres president -- at the border. to that, trump campaign called it a disgusting ad. back to you. >> brian: sad, miserable, cowardly existence. >> ainsley: can we celebrate mothers without making it political. >> brian: 100,000 people show up in 35-degree weather and few people noted it. crowd shots are unbelievable. i thought 40,000 was incredible. who introduced him? governor of north dakota burgum and he was fired up. >> ainsley: what i saw when you look at the crowd, everyday, normal people. you have the other candidate, joe biden, going to california, 275,000 per plate to go with george clooney and julia roberts and barack obama. >> steve: the administration campaign wants a split skroon of donald trump going into court over last couple weeks and joe biden running america. this is the split screen that should disturb everybody, when you see that right there and on the other side, you want to see joe biden, he would be at rohoboth beach, delaware. other channels are not running the big wildwood event, there are tens of thousands of people in attendance. we highlighted this poll about how trump is leading in five of six swing states. the trial has started, stock market gone up and joe biden spending millions on ads. one interesting side bar from this poll is only 29% of people in "new york times" poll are paying attention to the trump trial. 35% say the trial will probably end in a conviction. interesting to see what happens. >> lawrence: donald trump is nuk nuking -- nearly 70% say political and economic system need major change or be torn down entirely. when you go to biden supporters, only 13% believe the president would bring major change in second term. only 13% of his supporters believe that? how do you win with numbers like that? >> brian: when you have "new york times" editor come out and say, biden administration being thinks it is our duty to make sure donald trump is not elected 6789 we have been speculating, say why are they covering him like this? this is the plug being pulled on the joe biden protection program. steve, you probably didn't miss the speech, in 17 minutes, 15 lies. he said we went to iraq for nuclear weapon. he said -- he is reading things from prompter including stage instruction. >> lawrence: no cnn or msnbc pulling out of the coverage and saying, we can't show you this. and bringing in the fact checkers. >> ainsley: he said 33% of americans approve of his covering the israel and hamas war. we have been covering commencement cancelled and duke had their commencement, southern school, three dozen anti-israel protesters stood up and interrupted jerry seinfeld, he is parent of one duke alumna, and a current duke student. >> steve: here is what that sounded like. [booing] >> jerry, jerry, jerry. >> lawrence: stunning, why oppose him? he's not a political person, he said one thing when it came to october 7. his wife and him have gone to israel, he's just a jewish american that said what happened was messed up. you are protesting him, are these anti-israel protest or anti-jewish protest? >> steve: they planned as soon as he starts talking, get up and go, they wanted to make a statement. 99% of people in attendance were on jerry's side and yelling free, palestine. he is supporting his kids who go to school there. they give him an honorary degree, ask him to speak. he is one of the funniest guys in america. >> brian: put the sound up, you talk to a graduate, this is what she said from her seat. >> i can't say i'm surprised given protests, it is obvious they oppose his point of view, they violated duke's rules. they made it clear to students and these students violated rules of duke university. only 40 students walkut on, the entire stadium started yelling jerry's name. anyone to be targeted, i would be one of the first and duke has done everything in power to ensure safety for students, we cannot say the same for universities across america. >> brian: protesters asking for divesture of israel and a lot are caving. how about emerson, one out of every five had a fist in the air, pro-palestinian para pay-p paraphernalia on. the governor began to speak and at disney, queers for palestine, a bunch of clowns trying to d disrupt life. hillary clinton said my sense, they know nothing of the middle east. >> lawrence: queers for palestine, could you survive in the gaza strip? absolutely not and people with cafias, no sand, why are you wearing the outfits? there are kids that have no idea and kids and adults that have taken over campuses, be ing bei influenced. >> steve: and another cancellation of a commencement at howard university. they cancelled graduation during ceremony because so many family members were on the outside and couldn't get in. there wasn't enough room. you did not maker it in and you ruin graduation. >> ainsley: why didn't they make it in? >> lawrence: i don't think they had enough seatingly. >> steve: cancelled in the middle. >> brian: what is going on with protests? they plame cancel culture, didn't they help launch cancel culture and same with hollywood. they launched it and now can't stop it. >> ainsley: like sanctuary cities, don't send illegals here. you wanted to be a sanctuary city. >> steve: they want to cancel israel. >> brian: sanctuary cities will get trump elected. >> ainsley: read your bible, not getting cancelled. and steve buscemi punched in face while walking the streets of new york. steve was assaulted in midtown, victim of random act of violence in the city. he is okay and appreciates well wishing. and the francis scott key bridge will be demoed today. this video shows ea simulation f the planned demolition, nearly seven weeks after the cargo ship hit the bridge. six workers were killed. new bridge is expected to be finished in 2000 -- 28. and giving people with alcohol problems daily doses free booze. tom wolf, an advocate had this to say. we could have funded 60 bed trea treatments instead. we just spend 20 million. is it saving money? >> ainsley: since starting the program it costs taxpayers $50 million per year. caitlin clark has been so busy, she did not attend her graduation. indiana fever presented her. sgls momentum around followership and generational players, it is taking momentum and capitalizing on it. turn it into setting this league up for decades. >> ainsley: set to begin regular season tomorrow night. >> brian: they'll sellout the garden when they play liberty. >> steve: let's invite her on. >> ainsley: moms that take their kids to taylor swift, take them to see caitlin clark. >> steve: your friends were going to paris to see them? >> ainsley: it was cheaper to get tickets in paris. >> steve: they got to see travis kelce. >> lawrence: when do you plan ongoing? >> brian: did she sing in france? >> ainsley: i like some songs. i doubt she sang in french. >> brian: i don't know what she's saying. >> lawrence: brian is pro-taylor swift, kelce love. >> brian: what does love have to do with it. >> ainsley: wrong finger. >> steve: great sympathy. new innovation for school safety, states are turning to af artificial intelligence to keep the world safe. the man behind the project explains it.

>> well, lawrence, because not a single other witness has given any evidence of a crime, much less that president trump sitting in the dock committed that crime. cohen, i think, will be only one who testifies that trump committed some crime and i assume it is going to be this business record violation and they'll try to boot strap some sort of election campaign finance violation. and the jury ought to look at everything he says, not because he was trump's former lawyer, but because he's a convicted felon. the jury should not like the fact he is willing to bash trump after representing him so long. >> ainsley: the jury might not be familiar with michael cohen's past that he was convicted for tax evasion and campaign finance laws. will trump's team bring all that up? >> great point. that is trump team's job today or tomorrow, whenever they get to cross-exampleation, to make sure the jury understands who michael cohen is, what he's done and what his biases are as he comes into this case. way he's been trying to earn money on social media bashing trump is highly relevant and should make the jury find him incredible. >> lawrence: we have about 15 seconds, are you surprised court admonished donald trump and gagged him, but michael cohen, the judge said no, you get him under control, not the court. >> it shows judge merchan is not a mutual arbitter. he could have gagged michael cohen or stormy daniels or anybody he wanted to under subpoena. he chose the defendant. >> ainsley: michael cohen and stormy daniels who don't like the president, she said she hates the president and both making money off donald trump. thank you so much. trump feeling energy at his massive new jersey rally, ready to break biden's blue wall. >> we're going to win the state of new jersey. we're looking really great in the state of minnesota. the state of virginia. this guy is so damn bad it could be all of them. >> lawrence: who will do it better?

"fox and friends" wants bill hemmer on this wall. if five of six, trump on top. what sticks out to you? arizona and georgia, stunned by won by seven and 11. >> bill: 50% is number to look at. in georgia, trump 50%, sometimes 51. this has trump 49 and 50% in nevada. pollsters look at that 50 number. arizona 49. michigan at 49. this is really like the weather f forecast trying to predict the weather 10 days out. >> brian: is it about the economy? you think immigration and michigan you think about gaza, is there consistency running through it? >> bill: what i'm hearing is they believe they are ripe on three issues. immig immigration, inflation, and jobs. those are three things they are pushing and finding in states. >> brian: they are not happy with doing that, they feel they can make history by flipping blue states. former president was in wildwood, new jersey. the crowd shots are enormous near pennsylvania. let's take a look. his chance of flipping new jersey, last time somebody did that, george h.w. bush in 1998, typeset wasn't close last two elections. >> bill: in 2020 biden won, one year later a little known candidate only lost by two points. they were saying, republicans, we told you it was close, you should have advertised and we would have won in that election. >> brian: menendez trial start today, that is not helping. where it sits now, been a long time. it is were ma, emersen college by 11. you saw over the weekend -- >> bill: this wildwood rally, they had one in 2020, they drew indoor convention center, 7500. the trump people, 12,000, 7500 inside. >> brian: youngkin told republicans you can win it, bush won in 2004. >> bill: barack obama flipped that story in 2008. >> brian: consider it a blue state because of the numbers. >> bill: i don't think this is right, i think more like two points in 2016. closer than people think. biden won minnesota know handily in 2020. >> brian: this is virginia. you see what is at stake and last time we saw the poll, real clear average, four points. with abortion off the ballot, is this more of republican play? >> bill: it could be. i think about election of 2021, glu youngkin won on infrastructure. that is what republicans are banking on when they think virginia is in play. >> brian: youngkin camp is all in with the president like deplorab deplorables -- >> bill: 2-1/2 months after the debacle in afghanistan, on the minds of a lot of people, approval numbers for joe biden went south and yet to recover. >> brian: how about this? former president of the united states said i wish in 2016 i went to minnesota one more time. last time republican won was 1972, richard nixon. >> bill: virginia, two points in minnesota, when biden came out and won by seven, it put it in the blue column. they believe in minnesota, you have inflation on the ballot, ta taxes and immigration. >> brian: one more crime is a huge problem in minnesota. >> bill: especially in minneapolis with a progressive democratic mayor. >> brian: there is rare -- there and they will not mine it, that could help the local economy. it bothers a lot of people. on your show, you have a big announcement. you will be in court today. >> bill: for the michael cohen thing. we have jonathan turley and da mccarthy and jonna, great analysis to take you through michael cohen when he takes the stand 9:30. democrats says we can play in florida, desantis saying we will lead by million republicans over democrat. republicans are saying, we can play in blue states, expand the map and go on offense because of the "new york times" poll. >> brian: jaylen brunson, burned out last game, save some for dana and -- >> bill: game five monday night. >> brian: national police week and good news about recruitment, i'll expand on that, don't go a away. ow who knows what she wants? me! with empower, we get all of our financial questions answered. so you don't have to worry. empower. what's next. i'm adding downy unstopables to my wash. now i'll be smelling fresh all day long.
