perfectly

08:02

round why is that well I like drawing

08:06

circles at this point you're probably

08:08

saying to yourself how many television

08:09

hours have they devoted to a Donald

08:11

Trump a man who has not been off any of

08:13

our screens for more than 30 seconds in

08:14

the last eight years looks like the

08:16

answer is not nearly as many hours as

08:19

describing his every movement Trump

08:22

craned his neck to eye perspective

08:24

jurors and flashed a tight lip smile

08:26

leaning to the left um a little bit

08:28

quiet his arm crossed as well hunched

08:31

over with his elbows on the desk looked

08:33

through papers and periodically

08:34

whispered to his attorneys fidgeted and

08:36

leaned back the scowl fixed to his face

08:39

while he sat squinting he was actually

08:40

biting his lip during today's

08:42

proceedings his lips pursed in that

08:44

characteristic Trump

08:50

way his eyeballs

08:54

gone the hulking former president stood

08:56

up slowly he walked towards me with a

08:58

mixture of Desire scorn and let's call

09:01

it age related

09:04

confusion it was then that I realized

09:06

that this former president of the United

09:08

States has a front

09:12

[Applause]

09:15

butt look at some point in this trial

09:20

something important and revelatory is

09:22

going to happen but none of us are going

09:25

to notice because the hour spent on his

09:27

speculative facial ticks if the media

09:29

tries to make us feel like the most

09:31

mundane is Earth shattering we

09:34

won't believe you when it's really

09:36

interesting it's your classic Boy Who

09:40

Cried Wolf

09:53

Blitzer look it's a trial it's boring

09:59

most ly I've been on jury duty and I can

10:03

that's not

10:04

me that's a different guy why are you

10:09

it's not

10:12

me it may be

10:15

me look trials are a lot of procedural

10:19

and side conferences and sidebars

10:21

and what's exhibit 372a and you're not

10:24

out of order this whole CT is out of

10:27

look the one person who's had the most

10:29

normal reaction to the trial so far is

10:31

Donald Trump Donald Trump fell asleep on

10:35

multiple days during his criminal trial

10:39

as he

10:40

should I mean he's been up since 2 a.m.

10:42

rage tweeting he needs his anger

10:45

sleep today was the second day of

10:47

Trump's hush money trial and the first

10:49

witness was the editor of the national

10:51

Inquirer he testified that to help Trump

10:54

win the 2016 election he would buy

10:56

scandalous stories about Trump and then

10:58

bury them and what a great job he did I

11:01

can't think of a single Trump

11:04

scanner before they could even get into

11:07

that they had to hold a separate hearing

11:09

to find out if Trump violated a gag

11:11

order when he threatened jurors and

11:12

Witnesses and that hearing did not go

11:15

well for trump it was a pretty wild and

11:19

intense hearing on Donald Trump's gag

11:20

order it all turned into a very heated

11:23

exchange between the judge and Trump

11:25

lawyer Todd blanch who argued that Trump

11:27

is being very careful while a clearly

11:31

frustrated judge Maron responded Mr

11:33

blanch you're losing all credibility

11:35

with this court minutes after the

11:36

hearing ended Trump attacked the judge

11:38

on social media calling him a kangaroo

11:42

[Applause]

11:44

court wow this guy is incapable of

11:47

keeping his mouth shut for 2

11:49

minutes has Trump ever considered paying

11:52

himself hush money but think about it

11:55

but this this is a complicated issue

11:57

about balancing rights BAS basically the

12:00

prosecution's argument is that a juror

12:01

has the right to feel safe while serving

12:03

on Donald Trump's jury while Donald

12:05

Trump's argument is that that juror

12:07

lives at 34 West 52nd Street and maybe

12:11

someone should pay that juror a visit

12:13

and straighten him

12:14

out this gag order serious Trump might

12:17

have to pay up to

12:19

$1,000 per violation yeah $1,000 that's

12:23

not going to stop Trump from talking

12:24

okay you got to deal with this like any

12:26

other tantrum you got to give Trump an

12:28

iPad with melon on it and let him zone

12:30

out

12:32

okay then he's going to expect Coco

12:34

melon whenever he's upset okay well

12:36

we'll do have that later all right we

12:38

just need him to stop now it's so noisy

12:39

I can't even think in this house

12:42

okay it's not what Dr Becky would want

12:45

anyway for more on the results of the

12:47

gag order hearing let's go to Desi

12:51

liic

12:53

Desi D

12:55

now now that the gag order hearing is

12:58

over can get back to focusing on the

13:00

actual trial right uh unfortunately no

13:03

because during the gag order hearing

13:05

Donald Trump made a jerk off motion so

13:08

they needed a gag order hearing to see

13:10

if that violated the gag order before

13:12

they could get back to the first gag

13:13

order oh oh but then after that it's all

13:17

set uh no because during that gag order

13:20

hearing the judge heard Trump saying I'm

13:22

judge peee

13:24

head and when the judge asked did you

13:27

just call me judge peee head Trump said

13:29

he was just rehearsing for a community

13:31

theater production where he plays a

13:32

judge named pee head so then they had to

13:36

have a hearing about that but but once

13:38

that's done the actual case yes but no

13:42

because during that hearing Trump made

13:44

another jerk off motion but then he said

13:47

it wasn't a jerk off motion so they need

13:49

a quick hearing to determine how he

13:50

jerks

13:52

off then a hearing about whether he made

13:55

the jerk off motion then judge PP head

13:57

then the first jerk off hearing then the

13:59

gag order and then the actual case what

14:02

case the

14:04

hush the hush money case

14:07

oh nobody remembers that keep up with a

14:10

news cycle Jordan you're at the desk for

14:12

God's sake yes uh thank you Desi we'll

14:14

check back in with you

14:18

later

14:19

now clearly Trump thinks he's being

14:23

treated unfairly in this trial and he's

14:25

not the only one something to get order

14:27

is just the start of the oppress Trump

14:29

is

14:30

facing okay Jesse let me start with you

14:33

and the prosecution says this is

14:35

election fraud and they say pure and

14:37

simple is it I I call it pure evil so

14:40

they've taken away his freedom of speech

14:43

and now they've taken away his freedom

14:45

of movement I mean they had more

14:48

allowances for khed shik Muhammad oh

14:52

okay that sounds wild but I think Jesse

14:55

Waters is a reasonable man because I was

14:58

kicked in the head by a horse last week

15:01

so let's hear him out how is Trump being

15:04

treated worse than the Mastermind of 911

15:07

the guy needs exercise he's usually

15:09

golfing and so you're going to put a man

15:11

who's almost 80 sitting in a room like

15:13

this on his butt for all that time it's

15:15

not healthy he needs sunlight and he

15:17

needs activity he needs to be walking

15:19

around he needs action it's really cruel

15:21

and unusual pun punishment to make a man

15:24

do that

15:25

[Laughter]

15:29

are we talking about Donald Trump or an

15:30

Old English sheep

15:32

dog you can't keep him cooped up all day

15:34

he needs time outside or he'll pee on

15:36

the

15:37

couch look we all know how Donald Trump

15:39

loves exercise because of this trial

15:42

he's been morly obese for the last 40

15:43

years yeah I mean though would Trump

15:46

even want fresh air and exercise these

15:49

actually sound like the punishments the

15:50

judge would give Trump if he's convicted

15:53

yeah I know he's like fresh a and

15:54

exercise just give me the death penalty

15:56

but listen I'll give Jesse Waters the

15:58

benefit of the doubt because I was also

16:01

kicked in the head by the same horse so

16:03

let's let him continue this isn't law

16:06

fair it's torture they're making a 77y

16:10

old man sit inside a dingy room for8

16:12

hours straight 4 days a week

16:16

wow8 hours a day four days a week it's

16:18

literally torture or as the rest of the

16:21

world calls it a

16:24

job a a a part-time job to be fair I

16:28

mean this is the same guy who's asking

16:30

to be president of the United States I

16:32

mean that's got to be at least a 40 hour

16:33

a week gig I mean is he going to get

16:35

overtime also I thought Trump was

16:37

supposed to be the young vigorous

16:39

candidate in the race now what he needs

16:41

sympathy suddenly he's a poor elderly

16:43

man crippled by the weight of his own

16:45

body pulverizing his bones into dust

16:46

against the

16:48

chair you know what get that horse back

16:51

out here

16:52

because I want to give Jesse one more

16:55

chance they're telling the entire world

16:57

all the wackos this is where the former

16:59

president's going to be at this date at

17:01

this time surrounded by high-rise

17:04

buildings yes it's very dangerous for

17:06

people to know Trump's exact location

17:08

which is why he lives in a non-descript

17:09

building with his name on the

17:12

front the Trump campaign also tells us

17:15

where he's going to be and exactly when

17:17

they're called Trump rallies and it's

17:20

how I know where to go to get yelled at

17:22

and uh you know the worst part um about

17:25

him being on trial is that they're just

17:27

treating him like some he's some kind of

17:28

criminal defendant today the former

17:30

president of the United States if he

17:32

leaves Court to go to the restroom jail

17:35

if he calls the prosecutor corrupt jail

17:39

if Trump moves or says anything they

17:41

scream jail if he makes us recycling

17:45

jail if he scratches his crotch jail

17:49

yeah he gets a high score on the SAT

17:52

Jail uh his favorite Batman Christian

17:55

Bale yeah his favorite vegetable fries

18:00

yeah yeah let's begin with a major

18:01

announcement from the president of the

18:04

United States it's a good day for

18:06

America it's a good day for Europe and

18:08

it's a good day for World Peace oh a a

18:11

good day for World Peace I've wanted one

18:14

of

18:15

those I wonder what happened did the

18:17

nations of the world finally band

18:19

together to Outlaw war did they finally

18:21

buy everyone in the World a Coke is

18:24

there is there finally peace between

18:26

Kendrick and Drake what is it

18:29

moments ago at the White House President

18:31

Biden signed a long awaited Aid package

18:34

for Ukraine Israel and Taiwan into law

18:37

in total about $95 billion will go

18:40

toward assisting Ukraine and Israel's

18:43

war efforts and money to counter China's

18:45

aggression in the Indo

18:47

Pacific oh oh World Peace okay okay is

18:54

peace the one with the tanks is that the

18:56

one I I went to public school that

18:58

wasn't funded because they spent all

19:00

that money on peace so yeah I I mean

19:03

that maybe he's he's

19:06

being right yeah maybe maybe the

19:09

president is being sarcastic you know

19:11

like it's a good day for World Peace

19:14

everybody right right yes yes yes but

19:17

yes after months of delay President

19:19

Biden today signed a military aid

19:22

package for Ukraine Israel and Taiwan

19:25

yes Taiwan now there we not at War yet

19:30

but you got to book a reservation in

19:32

advance just to save your

19:34

spot and even though even though this

19:37

bill passed easily it had been held up

19:39

for six months because right-wing

19:41

Republicans threatened to kick speaker

19:42

Mike Johnson from office if he helped

19:44

Ukraine but now that he let it go

19:47

through everyone's been talking about

19:49

him like this I applaud speaker

19:52

Johnson's courage what you're witnessing

19:54

here is moral courage a profile and

19:56

courage is putting the nation above of

19:59

yourself and and that's what he did not

20:01

only put this up for a vote but he also

20:03

separated the bills which I thought was

20:06

a courageous did the right thing made

20:08

his own decision made his own decision

20:10

put his job on the line and that's

20:13

courage file and courage in this case

20:15

that's courage courage it's courage you

20:19

the word is courage profiling courage

20:22

courage profile of Courage there's a

20:24

courage thing being profile courage

20:29

so courage yeah okay thank

20:32

you so apparently Mike Johnson is the

20:35

hero here sure a couple of Ukrainian

20:38

cities fell while he decided whether or

20:40

not to be courageous but he got around

20:43

to it I mean we're always praising the

20:45

First Responders what about the eventual

20:48

responders

20:49

huh the ones who jump in their fire

20:52

truck and say hey let's stop for fro you

20:54

on the way huh where's their tick or

20:56

tape parade I salute you my John son I

20:59

mean not now but 6 months from now I

21:02

woke up the courage to do it but let's

21:04

move on to a problem that

21:07

America hasn't solved gun violence a lot

21:11

of people think the answer is reducing

21:13

the amount of guns but Tennessee

21:15

lawmakers are going in the opposite

21:18

direction chaos erupting in Tennessee

21:20

state capital where lawmakers just

21:22

passed a bill that would allow teachers

21:24

to carry concealed handguns in schools

21:27

if signed by the governor the Tennessee

21:29

law would allow teachers to carry guns

21:31

in schools where top administrators

21:34

agree the teachers would be required to

21:36

have a permit do training and get a

21:39

background check and mental health

21:41

evaluation

21:44

congratulations now your shop teacher is

21:46

going to have two stories about how he

21:48

accidentally lost a

21:50

finger look I mean can the students at

21:53

least vote on which teacher gets the gun

21:55

cuz uh you know my gym teacher was

21:57

already on a mive Power Trip and all he

21:59

had was a whistle

22:01

so today was a big day for Donald Trump

22:04

versus Johnny Law with the former

22:06

president fighting the man at every

22:08

level of the legal system but things

22:11

actually started off pretty good for

22:12

Trump uh after months of calling him

22:15

unfit for office Trump's former Attorney

22:17

General Bill bar said he's voting for

22:19

him anyway and Trump responded with as

22:22

much grace as you would expect so the

22:24

former president posting a truth social

22:26

this quote wow former attorney attorney

22:28

general Bill bar has just endorsed me

22:30

for president despite the fact that I

22:32

called him weak slow-moving lethargic

22:35

gutless and lazy based on the fact that

22:37

I greatly appreciate his wholehearted

22:39

endorsement I am removing the word

22:41

lethargic from my statement thank you

22:45

Bill

22:49

Donald Donald Trump is the king of

22:53

pettiness I am positive in an ALT

22:55

Universe Trump was a sorority president

22:57

just dripping dripping with shade like

23:00

wow bill I love that bikini you're so

23:02

brave to be wearing that you go girl I

23:06

mean it does look like Trump hates Trump

23:09

ass kisses as much as the rest of us do

23:11

because he'll be like uh Kiss the Ring

23:13

and then when they do he's like I can't

23:15

believe you kiss the ring you little

23:18

so Trump was riding that sick burn

23:21

high this morning all the way into court

23:23

where he was confronted with testimony

23:26

from the head of the national Inquirer

23:27

who wasn't afraid to spill some tea

23:29

publisher David pecker returned to the

23:32

witness stand this morning and explained

23:34

how he engineered a deal to buy The

23:36

Silence of Karen McDougall a Playboy

23:38

model who claimed she had an affair with

23:41

Trump pecker claims he had a deal with

23:43

Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen to

23:45

be on the lookout for damaging stories

23:47

about Trump he would buy stories that

23:49

were unflattering to Trump and then he

23:52

would kill them to make sure they didn't

23:54

become public was today a bad day for

23:56

Donald Trump he l look I I can't read

23:59

his mind but he looked pretty

24:04

miserable really he looked miserable

24:07

he's not one of those jovial criminal

24:09

defendants yeah coming to court with a

24:12

smile on his face and a spring in a step

24:14

as he stares down a future full of

24:15

prison gangs public pooping and shoty

24:17

heroin balloons migrating up his colon

24:20

shocker but yes David pecker pun

24:24

intended testified that he brought up

24:26

and buried negative stories about Donald

24:28

Trump that help him win the 2016

24:30

election which sounds crazy but you got

24:32

to remember this was way back in 2016

24:35

when negative stories were a bad thing

24:38

MH now we know that every new Scandal

24:41

just cancels out a different Scandal

24:43

until you become

24:45

president but because this is Donald

24:48

Trump he wasn't involved in just one

24:50

court case today while he was in New

24:51

York his lawyers were in front of the

24:53

Supreme Court arguing that Trump should

24:55

have complete legal immunity for

24:57

anything he did while president and I do

24:59

mean complete immunity if the president

25:03

decides that his rival is a corrupt

25:08

person and he orders the military or

25:12

orders someone to assassinate him is

25:15

that within His official acts that for

25:17

which he can get immunity it would

25:19

depend on the hypothetical but we can

25:21

see that could well be an official

25:24

act I object to this guy's voice

25:29

can we someone gave him a Lin or

25:31

something but I mean but sorry sorry you

25:33

may continue How about if a president um

25:37

orders the military to Stage a coup uh I

25:39

think it would depend on ime I think it

25:41

would depend on the circumstances

25:43

whether it was an official act if it

25:44

were an official act if a president

25:46

sells nuclear secrets to a foreign

25:49

adversary is that immune well I don't

25:52

know in the hypothetical whether or not

25:53

that would be an official act okay look

25:56

can we stop giving Trump IDE years

25:59

okay yeah he's listening to this like oh

26:02

selling nuclear secrets I should write

26:03

this down yeah it it sounded like they

26:06

were loose pitching Netflix action

26:08

thrillers in the room like in order to

26:11

save his Nation the president must

26:12

strangle an opponent in a public

26:14

Deathmatch Liam niss is immune from

26:21

prosecution

26:25

now very good very good very good there

26:28

we go now the Trump legal team doesn't

26:30

really believe the total immunity

26:33

argument they're just bringing it up to

26:34

delay his trials it's kind of like when

26:37

your kid asks for water at bedtime and

26:39

you know they're just trying to delay

26:40

bedtime because kids don't need

26:44

water wait so I'm pretty sure kids do

26:46

need water uh no you're thinking of

26:49

plants the wild thing is that the

26:51

Court's conservative majority seems like

26:54

it's actually going to accept at least

26:56

part of Trump's argument by the end of

26:59

the hearing the conservative majority

27:00

seemed to express a desire to create

27:02

some kind of limited immunity for

27:04

official acts for presidents so this is

27:07

where we're at the conservative justices

27:09

think Trump should have immunity the

27:11

liberal justices don't how about we meet

27:14

halfway instead of complete immunity

27:17

presidents get a hall pass of five

27:19

crimes that are totally okay if you have

27:21

the chance for example mine would be

27:24

bribery Insurrection wire fraud perjury

27:27

and Lenny krabit money

27:29

laundry I mean money laundry I got my

27:31

All Passes mixed up right yeah I mean it

27:34

is kind of crazy the Supreme Court might

27:36

actually make the president immune from

27:38

the law I mean isn't this America's

27:41

whole thing is no Kings I mean that's

27:43

why those people threw the tea in the

27:44

river I mean what a waste they could

27:46

have kept all that tea yeah that's my

27:48

main concern as well

27:51

Ronnie with all this there is still a

27:54

presidential race going on so this

27:56

morning Donald Trump made a a campaign

27:58

stop on his way into court and Fox News

28:01

was there to drink it up breaking this

28:04

morning former president Donald Trump

28:05

making a surprise campaign stop in the

28:07

last hour at a construction site in

28:09

Midtown he's taking his time with

28:11

everyone talking to people shaking hands

28:13

taking selfies look at him with this man

28:15

with the hard hat taking a picture

28:17

thanking him for being there patting his

28:19

back he grew up in New York grew up in

28:21

construction on these sites and now he's

28:23

talking to the men and women that build

28:25

New York that build all these buildings

28:27

he knows a lot about about that he's one

28:29

of

28:32

them wow he was clearly excited to be on

28:35

a construction site shake a few hands

28:37

Pat a few backs show them some Advanced

28:39

cat calling techniques you know the

28:40

whole

28:41

nine and those construction workers

28:43

appeared to really love Trump either

28:46

that or they showed up with all their

28:48

unpaid invoices so hey can I get your

28:50

autograph on this yeah can you initial

28:52

here and here please it's been years now

28:55

in recent weeks colleges across the

28:57

country have become from the site of

28:58

mass protests against Israel's war in

29:01

Gaza and this presents a challenge for

29:03

the colleges loud and even disruptive

29:05

protests are cherished tradition on

29:07

campuses and college investments in

29:09

Israel are a legitimate issue for

29:11

students but at the same time there's a

29:14

real element of anti-Semitism among some

29:16

protests and Jewish students have the

29:19

right to feel safe at their own schools

29:21

so it's a delicate balance that requires

29:24

keeping a cool head and listening

29:26

respectfully and above all the colleges

29:29

should not escalate the tension Columbia

29:32

University's president asked the NYPD to

29:35

break up a tent encampment 150

29:37

protesters were arrested at NYU in a

29:40

demonstration the university says it

29:42

asked the police to intervene okay okay

29:45

Ju Just to be clear I said

29:47

deescalate

29:50

deescalate Chaos on the campus of USC as

29:53

Pro Palestinian protesters clash with

29:55

school security and police LA police

29:57

officers in r gear move in and there are

29:59

a number of confrontations as the police

30:01

force encircles the center of Campus

30:03

okay does deescalate not mean what I

30:06

think it means uh un escalate

30:10

reverse escalate at least don't make it

30:13

worse officers were sent in at the

30:16

request of the university and under the

30:18

direction of Governor Greg Abbott Abbot

30:21

posted a social media quote the

30:23

protesters belong in jail send in the

30:26

National Guard and wake these kids

30:29

up do these ever think of a solution

30:32

besides Force I mean when this guy's

30:35

Wi-Fi goes down is he like get the

30:36

National Guard in here we need to my

30:40

modem by the way that man is Senator

30:42

joshh Holly you might remember him as

30:45

the man who riled up a mob on January

30:47

6th and then ran like a once they

30:49

showed

30:51

up

30:56

personally personally I might think

30:59

twice the next time I endorsed violence

31:01

but that's just me yeah and also Jordan

31:04

you don't use the national God because

31:06

students are camping on the quad you use

31:08

them for when aliens invade and you want

31:10

to test the aliens weapon capabilities

31:13

you know you're like how strong at La

31:14

are sending a National Guard to find out

31:17

also you're not going to resolve tension

31:19

by adding violence I'm spitballing here

31:22

maybe instead of armed soldiers why not

31:24

try sending in the college improv troop

31:27

you know a group of communication majors

31:29

in bright colored shirts asking for a

31:31

suggestion should clear out a crowd in

31:33

no

31:34

time no Jordan everybody knows that our

31:37

College improv makes everything worse

31:40

okay and as well right-wing politicians

31:42

showing up on campus to yell at the

31:44

students house Speaker Mike Johnson

31:47

visiting the Columbia campus today the

31:49

cherish traditions of this University

31:51

are being overtaken right now by radical

31:53

and extreme ideologies I am here today

31:56

joining my colleagues and calling on

31:58

President chaik to resign if she cannot

32:01

immediately bring order to this

32:05

chaos go back to class and stop the

32:07

32:18

money and by the way

32:22

Mike if your problem is with

32:25

anti-Semitism I completely agree with

32:27

you that that it's completely

32:28

unacceptable but maybe start with your

32:31

coworker who believes in Jewish space

32:33

lasers I mean just I will say it's quite

32:36

a flip-flop for Republicans to be

32:38

telling New York college kids to go back

32:40

to their woke ideology

32:43

classes you shouldn't be intense you

32:45

should be studying essays on pornography

32:47

by radical feminist Andrea

32:49

dworin honestly I can't think of anybody

32:52

worse to give their opinions on how to

32:54

protest the war in Gaza well there is

32:58

one guy what's happening in America's

33:00

college campuses is a rip anti-semitic

33:04

33:18

the situation in US college campuses is

33:21

unacceptable do you see how the

33:22

buildings are not Rubble I am

33:25

disgusted here's the point the there's a

33:27

lot of noise and plenty of Bad actors

33:30

but fundamentally what's driving these

33:32

protests is anger over Israel's

33:34

disproportionate use of force so before

33:37

we respond to the protests with

33:39

disproportionate Force maybe we should

33:42

listen to what they have to say and then

33:44

if we still don't agree with the

33:45

students then we can send in the college

33:48

improv Troop
