Seriously, im more excited than a Guy Seeing Beetlejuice with lauren boebert. Im more excited than a jets fan during the first three plays of the season. Youve got to be kidding me in case youve forgotten, im jimmy. Ive been off the air five months. Weve been gone so long. Weve been gone so long, the bachelor is now a grandfather. Its been a long time since our last late show. We looked at the calendar today, and check my math on this, i believe we have been off the air for 154 indictments. A look at some of the late night shows which returned to tv for the first time in five months. We have a lot to get to this morning, including a recap of day one in Donald Trumps Civil Fraud Trial in New York City. Part of that is the Punishment Phase. Well tell you about the moment that seemed to enrage the former president. Also ahead, the latest on Kevin Mccarthys Speakership Battle as a far right Republican Forces a vote in the house to decide his fate, whether he keeps his job as speaker or whe
general, highly prestigious man, a very honorable man. and they ve been looking at it for a long time. robert, help me understand how i should process that. this is not a president that writes internal memos but seemed like clear messaging that he is well in favor of what is proceeding here under the guidance of john durham. and we re still trying to figure out what the scope of of this criminal investigation is at the department of justice could be. had the grand jury been impanelled. who is being called as witnesses? but at this point, it means it s a serious investigation looking into the origins of the 2016 probe done about the trump campaign. and there are already sharp questions being asked by members of congress, democrats especially, who wonder if if the integrity and independence of the department of justice is at risk. because you have an attorney general in william barr who is close to the president, who is mentioneded
they will. they re going to use this awed yeen use pictures. but what you re going to see the gop is they re going to try to take action and say how they can actually do both. they re going to try to make the case an how they can actually strong on border security. but at the same time, treat people humanely. you mentioneded senator dean heller. he was at the event with president trump. but just earlier this week, he is one of original 13 members who called on the acalled on th administration. so you re doing to see they re going to make how they can do both. some republicans are critical that he ll be able to play that card as well. whitey, justin, raul. thank you. that s it for me. join us next week at 5:00 p.m. to break down the major stories of the week. of course, you can reach me on social media. first up, it s meet the press.
questions that people have about the money that was used to pay off stormy daniels or her relationship with the president. and they re going to keep getting those questions. but they re trying not to answer them. okay. and you mentioneded michael cohen. i want to listen to something jeffrey toobin said about michael cohen and this $130,000. this whole idea that michael cohen has to go into his equity line, it s not like he has $130,000 sitting around. he has to take a home in effect, a equity loan in order to pay stormy daniels to keep her quiet for an affair or relationship that she had with donald trump, lawyers don t do that. they don t do that with their own money. it s not ethical. it s not proper to do that without talking to the client. and it also just doesn t make any sense. this brings into the legal arena. at some point just on that alone
this morning. and the pakistani schoolgirl who herself survived a taliban shooting issued this statement, condemning the attack. i am heartbroken by this sense lens and cold-blooded act of terror. innocent children in their school have no place in horror such as this. mia, good to see you. thanks. this morning you re retweeting this message that you called a special kind of evil. what do you make of this kind of attack? well i think richard is right. the school was targeted specifically because this was an army school. so all of the students were either children of noncommissioned officers senior military commanders and regular army. and in fact, many of the teachers were the wives of the soldiers. and so this was a very personal attack in going after the military that is engaged in the operation you mentioneded.
