Another thing. Its fun. I appreciated that one. So what are we learning from this big florida donor retreat, what do you know about it . Donald trump hosted a private donor event this weekend. A pretty politically star studded event at least in terms of a potential Vice President contender for the former president. Most of them are all president s, doug burgum, the count goes on and on and in pretty trump like fashion, he referenced each of these potential candidates at different times brought them on stage and gave them compliments to see how they interacted with the crowd. The actual vetting of a lot of these candidates, the beginning stages of narrowing down a list hasnt really begun yet as far as we know. There has not been that Vetting Process for a lot of them. There have not been those questionnaires to actually get a shortlist going. This felt like one of those weekends that is very much a tryout for some of trumps favorite. Donald trumps daughterinlaw and also the coach made the media this morning and she was really doing Trump Spitting for him echoing a common cry that biden takes the debate stayed with the former president. Just take a listen to that. It is imperative to see these two men on a stage. To see these two candidates. Being the leader of the free world, head to head face to face on a debate stage. We need to hear from them not only about what they accomplished in their presidencies, but their vision for the future of this country. We had laura trump making the media rounds for the former president , the former president himself posting this donor event with the contenders, he is actually out on the Trail Rallying but you can argue an important one when weve seen these bp contenders begin to kind of get their way in and see how they interact with the donors, its worth noting that as far as we know, no public favorability uniquely to any of these candidates or anyone just yet rising to the top. We know that is sure to come. Thats for sure, thank you for that. Also today, intense scenes as police were called into protesters on college campuses, this is the scene a bit earlier, university of Southern California in los angeles, police were clearing and kim and there for the second time. Protesters did comply. They in charlottesville, police and Tactical Gear arrested at least 25 people after clearing demonstrators off of a campus lawn. You can see there using a teargas on dozens of people. The university saying that they were prohibited in School Policy despite the encampment being peaceful. Jay gray is joining us from the University Of Texas In Austin were demonstrations are happening right now for the stand with palestine made a. A day that was delayed do to whether. Talk about the scene. There is a lot of people reporter absolutely, it has grown since the last time we talked. I can tell you that there are a couple of hundred people that we continue to see on the campus here all with the same message, dont forget what is going on right now in gaza, they want to see this university and others across the university divest any business any relationship they have with any of the Weapons Manufacturers who are selling arms. They call for the president to resign over the last couple of weeks, more than 100 people were arrested, horses were brought in, riot police as well as officers surrounding this entire area. Know of those hundreds arrested we should say that most of them were allowed to have hard charges dropped. They were released and the charges were dropped. There is a frustration over Police Presence for sure. I do not believe it is necessary simply because it is not responding to violence, it is creating it, it is causing this violence to students. It is completely different from what they say which is that the protesters are the ones causing the violence which i dont believe. Reporter so there is a big frustration with a lot of people here. Students, those from austin were gathering here and weve even talk to some of the faculty year about the Police Presence. They say it is really exciting things. We want to show you exactly whats coming going on with the Police Presence. Just as we do that on live tv, what was a huge gathering of officers from state police to local police even campus police, they moved their position. I can tell you that there is a huge group of police here and perhaps moving to another area on the campus, a bit closer to where things are going here. There is a big presence here and that is something that has frustrated a lot of those who have gathered in this. At the police arent there, it means that they think things are under control and that is goodness. Thank you.

The former president will be off the campaign trail all week. Tomorrow the prosecution will call its 10th witness after the jury heard a week of gripping testimony from the loyal lawyer who helped and one of Donald Trumps closest aides. Joining me now we have Dave Ehrenberg and patricia hurtado, legal reporter for Bloomberg News and i welcome you both. Patricia, what are your big takeaways from the trial this week . It was actually stunning to hear him describe the chaos that erupted when the campaign was notified that the story was about to break about the Karen Mcdougal payoffs. They were preparing for donald trump to have his debate against Hillary Clinton and she described going to her room with that the likes of Stephen Miller and Chris Christie all Helping Trump prepare for his debate with Hillary Clinton and they have to tell him about this story that is about to break and they were worried right after. Of course, talking about that, the testimony appeared to show that she was grateful for trump supporting and launching the career. It meant that she knew more about this scheme then trump would have liked. Did her testimony do more to help the prosecution or the defense . I think it helped the prosecution because she clearly stated that this was about getting donald trump elected. This whole scheme was about helping him through the election. Although it is true, she did say that trump was worried about the reaction and that will help the defense. She said it was a bigger priority to get trump elected. This was about the campaign. Thats why prosecutors called her and that is why she is a witness. It didnt hurt the prosecutors that she broke down during crossexamination and started crying because you can see the emotion in her that she had to in essence write out her boss, the guy that she likes and admires and she knew the import of that moment, she was helping put him perhaps behind bars in a conviction. Thats why i think she showed that emotion and i think that is a lasting impression. Let me just tell you what a New York Times reporter told me. She said that point that hope made where she said that donald trump was worried about milani, something that she made, it was more about the campaign, she said youre going to have to believe that melania lived in some sort of a new silo and just not getting the newspapers that she would have no idea what was going on, the jury would have to believe that. Let me ask you about this because donald trump gave his opinion of how the trial is going outside the courtroom on friday, listen. The judges highly conflicted, you should not be allowed to be the judge of this case. He is trying to make it as salacious as possible by allowing for us it has nothing to do with the case. He wants to make it in isolations case, trying to hurt trump. The poll numbers are higher than theyve ever been and thats the story. Is trying to make it salacious. He is allowing things and that have nothing to do with this case. Nothing to do with it. Okay, patricia, three times using the word salacious, is that really how this trial is going . It struck me on friday about the testimony, here is a woman that is obviously uncomfortable being there, obviously she mentioned that i have to testify before the grand jury and i have to tell them what they are asking me know. She is obviously very troubled which is why she started crying at the end of the direct In The Beginning of the cross. But what she said was two important things. What was his state of mind, what did he know about this payoff . And she said that trump told her that michael had paid money to silence this woman and that he had done nothing wrong. The jury might think otherwise because theyve heard different testimony from different people about Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal. The second thing she said was that trump said that it was better that it came out now after he was elected president than if it had come out when he was running during his candidacy in 2016. Two crucial points, the jury has to know the state of mind, what is donald trump state of mind, what does he know about these payouts . Here he is saying two times, i didnt do anything with that, i didnt do anything wrong. Number two, it was better that it came out after i got elected. Lets talk about the New York Times which describes the Prosecution Strategy for the opening phase of testimony as spotlight the sleeves and soft pedal the records. Do you agree with that analysis so far . And if so, is it an effective approach . Yes, you want to take the sting out of the weaknesses. You dont want the defense to be the first ones to point out the flaws in the key witnesses. What theyre trying to do is to establish a firewall around the key witness of Michael Cohen. Michael cohen is a flawed witness. If you come up with a pre bottle, you got david , you have Keith Davidson and now you have Karen Mcdougal and Stormy Daniels. By the time that Michael Cohen takes a stand the jurors will already have seen the facts and they are going to be more willing to believe him. I do not believe that Michael Cohen will be the final witness. He is a flawed witness. They go into the deliberation room, they are working really hard to point out these in advance to give the evidence in advance to protect Michael Cohen to create the firewall and i think thats working. This is the week that the prosecution will likely start focusing on that. What documents will the jury see . Theyre going to see the signed checks. Reimbursing Michael Cohen for his Hush Money Payments to Stormy Daniels. We have already seen a ton of Email Exchanges and we know that donald trump didnt send emails, but all of his under links did. The combination of his Text Messages to david parker and dylan howard, the national editor, weve seen already lots of communications so weve already seen a ton of records, but is a paper trail. He is claiming that these are salacious sleazy allegations, this is a story about a Porn Star And A Playboy model and coverups in payments of money, whose idea is that . It donald trump may complain about that but that is the essence of this case. Very true. The Business Records violation of the people have brought against president trump, the 34 counts are really just 34 pieces of paper. So, what does the prosecution have to do to show the jury that those 34 pieces of paper have criminal intent to them . This is all about the falsification of Business Records which is just a misdemeanor. Two, a felony its got to see another crime. Is so far the prosecution has been successful in tying trump to the scheme and to show that it was meant to influence the election. The only missing piece of the puzzle is that the prosecution has not yet established that donald trump was involved in the falsification of the Business Record itself. So when they attributed these payments as legal fees, with donald trump responsible for that . Thats why think theyre going to use Michael Cohen. Just filling in the last piece of the puzzle. Youre right, its just 34 pieces of paper but as a prosecutor, pieces of paper will get you a lot of present time. Trying to minimize it but i dont think its working. When do you think they take a stand . Its obvious that what theyre doing is been building up slowly. Handicapping this has been a game among journalists for weeks now. When are they going to put them on. They lay the groundwork completely and he could be the ultimate witness. He has been basically the guy that is going to put all of this, tile of the loose ends together. We still need to see a little bit more about the finances and the payments weve heard. Any day now is probably the best guess. Good to see you both, thank you very much. The development in the peace talks aimed at stopping the israel hamas war. Coming up.
