conversations from the past month. we begin this morning with a discussion about the potential dangers of a second trump presidency. editor in chief of the atlantic, jeffrey goldberg, recently joined us to discuss the publication s special issue, which features 24 writers each outlining the threats they say a second trump term would pose to the united states and the world. we have a lot of writer at the atlantic who spent many years covering different aspects of trump and trumpism, and i wanted just to pull them all together in one, easy to read package. one copy of the print magazine, obviously it s online right now at theatlantic.com. mm-hmm. i wanted our writers to describe, as best as they could, what would happen in their areas of expertise if trump became president again. the next trump presidency will be worse. the restraints will be off. there won t be any quote, unquote, adults in the world. mckay coppins has a piece, who will get jobs in the next trump adm
followers online, you can see there. and this is not just anybody talking, it is a trump ally, lawyer, and top republican on the senate judiciary committee, so he knows better than to just blithely talk up warn of violence and crime as retaliation of whatever happens in the criminal justice system, which no one knows what will happen. senator graham going further than most republican senators. lately many have been trying to duck attention over trump s secret document scandal. but what is different about graham? well, senator lindsey graham is also a witness and a potential participant in donald trump s 2020 election plot, which remains in criminal investigation in georgia. graham trying to fight lawful orders to testify there, so he has at a minimum a conflict. now, graham carefully avoided linking his own legal pressure in georgia to this new apparent warning or threat. instead he argued the double standard about secret documents, which is the federal case, not the georgi
according to one passage, the prosecutors have hours of detailed questions in meetings trump held in december 2020, and 2021. his pressure her pranced overturn the election, and what trump told his lawyers in electors, and sending the election again this is the same day that the attorney general speaks out. and the former president returned to washington since the first time since leaving office. and what s male kyle told nbc s lester holt when the president again might tear the country apart. we pursue justice without fear or favor. we attend to hold anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surviving january 6th and any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from any administration from one to another accountable. that is what we do. we don t pay any attention to other issues with respect to that. so if donald trump were to become a candidate for president again, that would not change a schedule. or how you move forward or move forward? i
Inside with jen psaki starts now. Okay. This may come as a shock to you but donald trump actually didnt spend the day in court today. But, not to worry, he will be back in court tomorrow. Plenty to watch, im sure. When it comes to the case in manhattan, he is, of course, innocent until proven guilty. That is how it works.

Right now, the basic thrust of his Campaign Message is that president s should be immune from prosecution so they can attempt a coup and commit crimes at will.

Watters, Martha Maccallum and greg gutfeld, this is the fi five. Former President Trump arriving at trump tower leaving court in New York City after showing up for the first guy in his civil fraud trial. Much more on that in just a minute. But first, was it a stunt to shut down the government or is this progressive lawmaker just plain stupid . Capitol police are investigator Congressman Bowman after yanking the fire alarm after the house was about to vote. Bowman says there was no ill intent, it was an embarrassing mistake.

Bowman seems to be confused why people are making such a big deal out of this. The statement that pulling the fire alarm was an accident. I dont know why this has gotten so much attention. I was lite
