Particular filing by the trump team . With regard to the judge in d. C. . Yeah. I think will be rejected by the judge for sound reason, legal point, and i think it will be sustained on any appeal that he may decide to take. It is interesting, though for, people at home. Judge chutkan herself will be the one to decide whether she refuses or not. How does that make sense if you are just a layman at home . I think it almost every jurisdiction, a motion to disqualify the judge is brought before that judge. That is just the way that it works in the american system. The judge makes a ruling, some judges may say yes, i feel i have created an atmosphere in which i should participate Going Forward and others will decide otherwise, depending on the facts. I dont, from what i know, i think the judge in d. C. Has been many cases in front of her. I dont think that anything she has, cited least that i am, where of is disqualifying in terms of her bias or prejudice sister to the former president , and so i think this is one of a number of attempts that we will see from the Trump Defense in order to delay the case. Lets talk about some of the statements there. We just referred to them in e intro, she talks about blind yalty to one person who, by the, way remains free. That person is trump. She doesnt hear explicitly state any particular view of this. She knows, factually, that he remains free. Does that indicate a bias in your view . Can they make that argument . They will make that argument. I dont think that it will be sustained by either her own analysis, and i think the judge is a principled, smart, individual who will not want to create any ruling that would essentially be subject to reversal by the court of appeals. So i think that she will play it down the middle, and my guess is that she will say that these are entirely appropriate comments by the judge making rulings on related cases and in no way indicates that she has a predisposition against the former president when it comes to making the rulings a trial judge will have to make during the course of just to play devils advocate, if she has had a history of tough sentences against people committing offenses related to january 6th, could the trump team argue that that is a predisposition . No yes, they will argue everything. But this is whether or not it has a basis in law or not. But i think from everyones experience in the criminal justice system, a judge may have a case, for example, with 20, 100 defendants. The judge may sentence some of those defendants to an extremely large amount of incarceration. But that doesnt mean that the judge then is biased towards other defendants who she has not yet had before her in times of a trial before her and adjudicating the case. So in just the last couple of days, trump has made some comments at his campaign rallies, as he does, really seem to rile up his supporters, suggesting that when he was president bring charges against his political opponents, he said that about President Biden. Listen to how California Governor Gavin Newsom responded to what trump was doing. Ive made the point about desantis that i think hes functionally authoritarian. Im worried more in many respects about trumpism. I think the vengeance in Donald Trumps part right now is more of a threat. What do you think . Do you agree . I think the statements that trump is making about the prosecutors, about the process, are, number one, illadvised. Hes making them irrespective of what i think theyre illadvised. But i think it creates an atmosphere against which judges will measure the impact of his statements as we go forward. So, i think theyre illadvised. Two, i think they are wrong in terms of sort of how the lawyers representing him should permit, permit their clients to communicate about the case about which hes now got before this judge. Three, i think it will be a point in time where trump crosses a line and says something that is either a direct, appears to be a direct threat against either the judge or the prosecutor in the case or against the system, in which a judge will pull the chain and pull them short. But they are really reluctant to do that because hes a candidate for the presidency. But you know the power that he has over his supporters. Do you think that at some point in the next, call it a year or so, this will really come to a head and he will go too far and a judge will have to restrict his abilities . I think that is absolutely possible. And its entirely within trump s hands and his counsel in terms of canceling how he communicates. He is a president ial candidate. The judge in d. C. Has given every indication that she will permit him to speak as a candidate and will respect his First Amendment rights to communication. But he has made historically comments which appear to be directly threatening to prosecutors in the case, the case of alvin bragg, and others. And at some point, a judge will say i warned you, i told you. And the question will be what will the sanction be . Putting judge susan, putting former President Trump in jail, im not sure thats a sanction that the judge will want to levy, because of just the froth nature of putting trump in jail but is it on the table . I think everything is on the table. And the judges, at the end of the day, of a very difficult job. There used to limit against playing by the rules. Theyre not used to lead against basically saying that im not only disregarding yearolds, but im gonna go right in your face. And so, the judge is going to have to decide where they draw the line between First Amendment issues and threats against the litigants or members of the jury or the prosecutors offices. And im sure that there are law clerks and judges in georgia, new york, and washington, d. C. , talking about how do we manage what is essentially something weve never seen before. Yeah, testing the system as usual. Thank you cy vance for being here tonight. And take a look at Downtown Manhattan tonight. The Tribute Lights that mark 22 years since september 11. President biden played tribute in the state of alaska and his way home on an overseas trip, but he made a false claim giving that speech. New york, and i remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And i felt like i was looking through the gates of hell. Thats not true. Biden was in washington the day after 9 11. He didnt visit ground zero till 9 days later. But being in alaska today, biden is breaking the tradition of president s marking this particular day from attacks site. At least two of the republican candidates are denouncing that decision tonight. I was very disappointed with president joe biden, that he was not at ground zero or the pentagon. I think the American Spirit always needs to take part, period. If you are in vietnam, thats not a democracy. You need to be in america, that is a democracy. You need to acknowledge something that happened that was horrific, not just as a reminder to americans, but as a tribute to those American Families who lost loved ones. Lets discuss this with journalist and former fox news host geraldo rivera. Geraldo, thank you for being here. I, abby. My pleasure. What do you make of this criticism . President biden points out, or his team points out, it has been 22 years since 9 11 occurred. The first president to break the tradition is always good to be the first president to do it. Do you think its fair to criticize him for not being there . I do. As a native new yorker, abby, someone who has kids in grade school lost six other dads in the attacks, its just something that will live forever but. You know, its like a dark july 4th, 9 11 is something thats now part of the fabric of american life. And to treat it as if it was just another anniversary i think is really illadvised. I deplore it. The emotion that people had when they saw the skyline today, the early minutes of the Football Game and the lights, its just so emotional. The Statue Of Liberty in new york harbor, and to treat that as if its just a, you know, we went 22 years, i will come back in 25 years, i dont think its appropriate. And then to well, let me and then to be befuddle about whether he was there or not, thats pretty alarming. Let me ask you though, at what point do you think that this becomes like Something Like a pearl harbor, which is a another searing moment in american history, but one which is not marked every single year . Well, i think that you make a good point. And im just answering in a very emotional way. I was born there. I spent most my life in new york city. I have three children and grand children in the city, or the boroughs. Its just something that i everyone that i know remembers precisely where they were, how they responded, what impact it had on their family lives. Its not just another anniversary. It is 9 11. It is something that started the war on terror. It distorted all of our lives. It changed everyones life for the worst. It was something that its, its branded and the american psyche now. And to go and then to say i was there the next day when he wasnt there, you know, its just i want to love the guy. I want to root for him. I dont want to criticism that hes lost his step, that he doesnt know what day it is or whatever it is, walk the wrong way on stages and so forth. I dont want this you know, hes only eight months older than i am. I dont want that to define him. And yet, he is being ill served by his staff. I know you want to talk also but immigration today. Hes being ill serve an he is no policy. Hes the problem. Lets talk about that for a second, because its a new yorker as well, im sure you are aware of whats unfolding here in the city with the migrant crisis. And former new york city mayor Mike Bloomberg weighed in a New York Times oped, saying the biden illustration has failed to address the steep price many cities are paying for a system they did create, and the border cities dont control. Is the biden administration, geraldo, in your view to blame, or is it really congress that is to blame for failing to address this issue . I think they are both criminally negligent, Congress Plus the white house. They know what the at least temporary solution to this awful crisis is. You know, i just want to parenthetically is say i have a niece, olivia. She got a new apartment in gramercy, Gramercy Park area. Its a very expensive for a 400 square foot apartment. She has to walk over venezuelan immigrants to get into her new apartment. You know, they make noise at night and so forth and so on. I am 100 pro immigrants and pro immigrations, immigration rights. But when you have a situation where, why are they on the sidewalk . Why are they working . It would be the simplest thing for joe biden to sit down, write an Executive Order i understand that the Asylum Process is backlog up to seven or eight years. I understand that these people come, they ask for asylum, and then they wait seven or eight years. By then, they have children, they have roots, the rest of it. Let them work now. Why are they on the public dual . Why are they staying in hotels . Well, you know they wont work, its vicious. Its a legitimate question, for sure. But lets take a step back here. Because new york city now experiencing the migrant crisis is really a microcosm of what so many other cities have been dealing for so many years, and so many other immigrants have been dealing with. Maybe theyre waiting years for work permits. There are a lot of people in this country that are still waiting years in the Legal Immigration process for a work permit. What do you say to those individuals and their families who say that your daughter walking past venezuelan migrants is spearheading a process that wasnt available to them . I mean, it seems like all of a sudden this becomes an issue, because new york city is suddenly affected. I want the whole of the United States to have the same rule. If you have someone who ask for asylum and under our laws we want to be compassionate, and they understand now theyre in a process that takes all the years, let them work. I dont care if theyre in denver or chicago or miami or wherever they are, let them work. Let them pay their own way. They want to. These are people who walk through the darien gap in central america, through columbia and panama. They walk through all of central america. They blocked the length and breadth of mexico to get here. They cross the rio grande. They are strong. They are ambitious. Its almost darwinian, these are exactly and look you cant go to a restaurant in new york without i think if you ask the biden ministration, i think they say we of course Want Congress to pass bills that allow people to get work permits. Congress wont do that, in part, because the republicans refused to do that. I mean, it seems i say a pox on both of their houses. I dont care about all of these details. I know for a fact that President Biden, with an Executive Order, could say im going to fingerprint you, im going to take your picture, im going to, you know, vet you to the extent i can. But that restaurant with the help wanted sign, you could go to work, you could wash dishes their. Lawn maintenance, fast food restaurants, you know, out of the city, the Poultry Processing and the meatpacking, let them work, construction, let them work, let them pay their own way, get them off the streets, they dont want to be on the streets. Can i they dont want to be in the fleabag hotel. They want to start a life. Yeah, i mean, as you pointed out, they make this truly horrific journey here, not because they want to sit on the streets. I want to get you to respond to this though. Heres what vivek ramaswamy, one of the republican candidates, has said recently about what he would do when it comes to the children of undocumented immigrants who were born here in the United States. States. States. States. States. He himself as a beneficiary of the 14th Amendment, but i think the broader point here is that he is saying this because it gets him purchase and the republican party. There is a market for this. Well, there may be. And it may be pragmatic for him. But it makes me want to throw up in my mouth now and i look at this opportunistic, you know, i fill in the blank. I it makes me want to i cannot emphasize enough how hurtful that statement is, how ruthlessly pragmatic that statement, how appealing to the mob that statement is. These children born in this country, where the 14th Amendment to the United States constitution is enshrined, its part of all of our lives, these rights, these children are born here. Whatever since their parents committed is on the parents. But the kids are they are americans as much as either of us or, abby. And i just think that hes too clever. He keeps reminding me of the Chris Christie quip in the first debate when he said he was like chatgpt. Its so programed to get the right wing vote in a case that trump falters or the second place on the republican ticket, its so its beneath the dignity of people running for Public Office should be. And i really, i really deplore it. The 14th Amendment says that they are substance. They are citizens. Unless and until you amend a constitution, which you can for three quarters of the states and so forth. And certainly, a president cannot do it unilaterally. Geraldo rivera, thank you so much for joining us. They certainly can. Thank you, abby, thanks very much. And up next, ill speak live with the congresswoman who calls Gavin Newsoms promise to appoint a black woman to Diane Feinsteins seat insulting. Plus, is it constitutional for a governor to suspend the ability to carry guns in public . Even some democrats are calling her out for that. And a secret Service Agent from the Jfk Assassination now says he doubts the lone gunman theory. Here why. And i will have to historians debate that claim. E of that. Oh, thats nice. Oh searchable, verified reviews. Thats better than the ham, and ive never said that. Booking. Com booking. Yeah diabetes can serve up a lot of questions, like, what is your glucose .

Among them is a 90yearold democratic senator diane feinstein. She is the oldest member of congress, but her recent Health Issues have led some people to question her ability to serve out the remainder of the term. But, the senator has made it clear she has no plans to leave office before her term ends. Now, over the weekend, California Governor Gavin Newsom laid out he would plan to appoint someone if feinstein left before the end of return, listen. I want to get involved in the primary. He would not appoint anybody that has filed it would be completely unfair to
