decision. the court has been very clear in where they stand. it was just this past week in addition to all the really stark examples you laid out, jonathan, that arizona republicans could not get it together to repeal their prestatehood total abortion ban from the 1800 s despite kari lake and trump calming on calling on them to do so. all these positions extremely political. we know where donald trump stands. we know where the gop and house stand but they know they are losing race after race so they are trying to obscure their positions but just tomorrow we are i m sorry. just next week we are going to see the supreme court hear a case to decide whether states are allowed to deny emergency medical care including abortion that s based on the biden administration s effort to
what the cancellation of his book reading. i saw his instagram story about that. wanted to get him on my show but you got him first so that means i guess we will watch him early. malik is the sweetest man anyone has isever met. you can t imagine this guy getting banned from a speech about bullying. the world is upside down when you are you don t want this kid talking to your kids the world is upside down. yeah. upside down and inside out. thank you very much. have a good show. this trial is starting. that was the judge s parting thought to the courtroom in the case of the rtpeople of the sta of new york verses donald trump. today the full panel of 12 jurors and six alternates were shown into consider donald trump s fate in the historic first criminal trial of a former united states president. the judge told the court that opening statements would begin
sound discretion of the trial judges. it s up to him. he is the man on the ground looking at the evidence so you see this act after act where judges have found that trump has abused the legal process or that trump has lied. his lawyers are objecting saying these are facts that have nothing to do with this case and they couldn t come in and that s just not what this argument is about because as adam has done a great job the only thing that s government could use these prior instances for at least on cross is to attack donald trump s credibility to argue you shouldn t believe anything he told you on the stand. he has lied in the past and you should judge his credibility light of all the other times he has been less than truthful. that should be enough to keep him soff the stand but with trump who knows. did we learn anything this
again in the worst way. more than in the worst way. probably in about 20 ways. let s if any of us is numb to this and i think we probably aren t but in case we are imagine that this was harry truman in court falling sleep and being accused of what he is being accused of and behaving the way he has been. this is something the founders did not exactly have in mind for a future president. they thought they had created a system that would exclude people that would be likely to be accused of criminal conduct though of course we don t know if he will be found guilty or not. the other thing is you remember the guy and i think it was a male, i don t want to assume that but the person in the trump group who said you know it ll be great. he can campaign from the courtroom.
they understood roe but it s shocking should understand as i said in this case that s going to the court next week that emergency care that has already been available to so many americans could be denied for a pregnant person because those doctors and those er s are so terrified of being prosecuted or investigated by their states. you know the lengths in which these maga gof ban states going to punish doctors and patients and make care so unavailable even in the most shocking cases like the amanda case where she almost went into seps is this is shocking the american conscience. it s not just about the medical active abortion. it s all the other consequences, attacks on ivf and birth control that you have covered. president of reproductive freedom for all. thank you for coming to the last word. and tonight s last word is next.
