03:29

A WOMAN SAID THAT TRUMP IS BEING

03:31

TREATED FAIRLY AND SHE TOLD THE

03:33

COURT THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE

03:36

LAW.

03:37

THEY TOLD FOX NEWS THIS MORNING

03:39

THAT SHE THINKS THE OPINION

03:42

SPLIT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.

03:44

SHE WAS SURPRISED ABOUT THAT

03:45

CONSIDERING THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC

03:47

MANHATTAN.

03:50

A 29-YEAR-OLD TOLD US THAT AS

03:51

FAR AS SHE WAS CONCERNED SHE IS

03:54

NOT A FAN OF THE FORMER

03:55

PRESIDENT AND SHE EXCUSED

04:01

04:11

WOW.

04:13

THANK YOU SO MUCH GREAT

04:14

REPORTING.

04:16

SO EMILY.

04:17

THE 29-YEAR-OLD, SHE IS OFF THE

04:19

LIST AND 50 OTHER PEOPLE -- 14

04:23

ALSO CANNOT BE IMPARTIAL BUT SHE

04:25

DECIDED THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF

04:28

HER WORK COMMITMENTS.

04:29

BUT IT IS INTERESTING HOW MANY

04:30

PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY CANNOT BE

04:31

IMPARTIAL BUT IT'S NOT SHOCKING

04:33

TO YOU.

04:35

>> Emily: YES, I LIVE HERE AS

04:37

WELL WHICH IS WHY I HAVE

04:40

DIFFICULTY NOT BEING IMPARTIAL

04:41

BECAUSE THIS WHOLE THING IS

04:43

ABSURD AND NORMAL AMERICANS CAN

04:44

SEE THROUGH THIS IMMEDIATELY.

04:48

IT HEARKENS BACK FOR ME THE

04:50

BOSTON MARATHON, WHERE WAS THE

04:52

LARGEST POOL IN HISTORY AND THE

04:54

MOTION TO MOVE THE VENUE ARGUING

04:55

THAT THERE'S NO WAY THE PERSON

04:56

IS GOING TO GET A FAIR TRIAL

04:59

HERE THEY RESPONDED THAT IF HE

05:00

IS NOT GOING TO GET A FAIR TRIAL

05:02

HERE HE WOULDN'T GET A FAIR

05:03

TRIAL ANYWAY.

05:06

THE WHOLE POINT IS WHEN THEY ARE

05:08

ENOUGH AMERICANS WHO ARE GOING

05:09

THROUGH THAT RIGOROUS PROCESS

05:10

THAT THIS JUDGE HAS SAID IS THE

05:12

MOST THOROUGH QUESTIONNAIRE

05:13

THEY'VE EVER SEEN, AND THEY HAVE

05:15

FAITH IN THAT PROCESS AND IT

05:16

WILL SPIT OUT A GROUP OF

05:21

IMPARTIAL AMERICANS WHO ARE

05:23

DEDICATED TO DOING THE JOB.

05:24

THE REASON WHY THEY ARE SAYING

05:27

INCARCERATION IS BECAUSE THE

05:29

PROSECUTION IS ARGUING THAT THIS

05:30

RISES TO A CRIMINAL LEVEL, THEY

05:33

FEEL THAT TRUMP WILL NOT STOP

05:35

VIOLATING THE GAG ORDER UNLESS

05:38

HE IS INCARCERATED IN NACHES

05:39

GIVEN A BUNCH OF FINES.

05:43

SO THIS IS A PUNITIVE DECISION

05:45

IF THE JUDGE INDEED GOES THROUGH

05:47

WITH IT.

05:48

I HAVE BEEN AT A MILLION

05:50

SCHEDULED HEARINGS WHERE

05:52

CRIMINAL AND CIVIL WHERE OF MANY

05:54

THINGS COME INTO PLAY AND THE

05:56

JUDGE ACQUIESCES INCLUDING

05:57

LETTING PRISONERS OUT TO ATTEND

05:59

SUCH THINGS SUCH AS FUNERALS OR

06:02

ANYTHING THE LIKE.

06:03

SO IF HE IS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND

06:06

THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION IT IS

06:09

PUNITIVE AND IT HAS NO PLACE

06:10

HERE SOMEWHERE IN MANHATTAN.

06:14

>> Harris: SO, BEN I AM SURE

06:16

YOU ARE SEEING THAT PARTICULAR

06:17

ISSUE AS WELL, WILL TRUMP TEMPT

06:21

THE JUDGE AND SAY DO WHAT YOU

06:23

GOT TO DO I'M GOING?

06:25

>> Ben: POSSIBLY.

06:26

BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE

06:29

FACTS AS TRUMP, AND 90% OF THE

06:31

PEOPLE IN THE JURY POOL HAS

06:33

VOTED AGAINST YOU, YOU HAVE A

06:35

JUDGE WHO IS GIVING DONATIONS TO

06:37

DEMOCRATS AND THE DAUGHTER

06:40

WORKED FOR KAMALA HARRIS, AND

06:40

YOU ALSO HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE

06:43

RAISED OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND

06:43

DOLLARS SAYING IF YOU GO WITH ME

06:47

I AM GOING AFTER TRUMP.

06:48

IF YOU WALK INTO THAT ROOM AND

06:50

IT'S ALREADY STACKED AGAINST

06:52

YOU, THERE'S A CERTAIN POINT

06:54

WHERE YOU SAY OKAY, IF YOU ARE

06:55

GOING TO DO IT THIS WAY I AM

06:58

GOING TO GO TO MY SON'S

06:59

GRADUATION AND IF YOU ARE GOING

07:00

TO LOCK ME UP FOR THAT THEN GO

07:01

AHEAD AND DO IT.

07:09

BECAUSE I THINK IT IS INSANE WE

07:10

ARE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION,

07:11

BUT I ALSO TELLS YOU HOW MUCH

07:11

THEY ARE GOING AFTER HIM.

07:13

AND THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME AND

07:14

WHAT MAKES ME THE MOST ANGRY IS

07:15

THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT IS

07:19

IN PENNSYLVANIA RAISING MONEY

07:20

RIGHT NOW WHILE THEY HAVE TIED

07:23

UP TRUMP IN COURT RIGHT NOW, AND

07:25

THAT HIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE.

07:30

>> Nicole: TO BEN POINT, I AM

07:32

GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE GAG

07:34

ORDER.

07:35

IT IS THE MOST UN-AMERICAN THING

07:36

I'VE EVER SEEN.

07:39

BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE YOU HAVE

07:40

THE JUDGE'S DAUGHTER WHO HAS A

07:42

HIGH LEVEL EXECUTIVE OF A

07:44

DIGITAL MEDIA COMPANY THAT IS

07:45

TAKING TENS OF MILLIONS OF

07:47

DOLLARS NOT JUST FROM

07:49

KAMALA HARRIS BUT MANY OTHER

07:50

DEMOCRATS.

07:50

AND THAT IS HOW SHE GETS HER

07:54

BREAD-AND-BUTTER SO YOU ARE

07:55

SILENCING TRUMP ON THE FAMILY OF

07:55

THE JUDGE AND THE DEA, BUT YOU

07:57

ARE NOT SENTENCING THE FAMILY

08:01

AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT

08:02

HIMSELF.

08:03

IT IS VERY UN-AMERICAN AND IF

08:03

YOU CANNOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BIAS

08:07

THAT YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

08:09

>> Harris: ALLOW ME TO GET TO

08:10

THIS BEFORE I COME TO YOU  

08:13

RACHEL, THEY TALKED ABOUT THE

08:14

GAG ORDER ON THE FAULKNER FOCUS

08:17

IS TODAY LET'S WATCH.

08:19

>> YET THERE IS NO GAG ORDER

08:21

WHEN IT COMES TO MICHAEL COHEN

08:23

BUT THERE IS ONE FOR TRUMP.

08:25

THE REASON WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

08:27

IS BECAUSE MICHAEL COHEN CAN DO

08:28

MEDIA INTERVIEWS AND SAY

08:30

WHATEVER HE WANTS WITHOUT

08:33

CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE HE IS NOT

08:35

UNDER PERJURY, AND SO THAT IS

08:40

PROBLEM NUMBER ONE.

08:41

NUMBER TWO IS AS WE SPEAK,

08:43

PROSECUTORS ARE CURRENTLY TRYING

08:45

TO GET THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP

08:48

IN CONTEMPT FOR VIOLATING HIS

08:51

GAG ORDER.

08:51

IT'S ONLY APPLICABLE TO THE

08:53

WITNESSES SO HE CAN TALK ABOUT

08:55

THE JUDGE ALSO OTHER PEOPLE BUT

08:57

NOT THE WITNESSES.

08:59

TO YOUR POINT, HARRIS, THE START

09:02

WITNESS IS HINGED ON ONE PERSON

09:03

WHO IS A KNOWN LIAR, IT MAKES IT

09:05

FRUSTRATING FOR A DEFENDANT

09:06

CANNOT TALK ABOUT IT.

09:09

>> Harris: SHE PREDICTED THIS

09:11

AND IT HAPPENED LESS THAN

09:14

24 HOURS LATER.

09:14

SHE SHOT IT COMING.

09:15

TRUMP IS IN A BOX.

09:18

AND I WONDER IF AMERICANS

09:20

REALIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING?

09:22

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT?

09:23

>> Rachel: I THINK THEY DO.

09:26

TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE ELECTION

09:28

INTERFERENCE, THEY ARE TRYING TO

09:30

PUT DONALD TRUMP AT THE SAME

09:31

SPEED AS JOE BIDEN.

09:32

THEY WANT TO TIE THEM UP IN

09:34

COURT AND MAKE SURE HE CANNOT DO

09:37

VALLEYS UNTIL 9:00 AT NIGHT

09:39

BECAUSE HE HAS TO BE IN COURT AL

09:42

DAY.

09:43

THEY ARE TRYING TO DEMORALIZE

09:44

HIM BY SAYING YOU CANNOT GO TO

09:46

YOUR CHILD'S GRADUATION AND

09:47

TREATING HIM LIKE HE IS A

09:50

CRIMINAL.

09:50

ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE UNFAIR,

09:52

AND TO YOUR POINT I DO THINK THE

09:54

AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW THIS.

09:56

I THINK THEY BELIEVE THIS IS NOT

09:58

THE COUNTRY THE GROUP GREW UP

10:00

IN.

10:01

IN FACT THIS FEEL SUPER

10:02

COMMUNISTS AND WHEN DONALD TRUMP

10:04

BRINGS UP THE POINT ABOUT

10:06

COMMUNISM HE IS RIGHT.

10:07

YOU TALK ABOUT THE JURY, PUT IN

10:11

A HISPANIC WHO HAS LIVED IN

10:13

THOSE TYPE OF COUNTRIES, AND

10:14

THEY WILL PROBABLY VOTE IN FAVOR

10:17

OF TRUMP AND HOW ABSOLUTELY

10:21

UNJUST THIS IS.

10:22

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND DOES

10:24

NOT FEEL LIKE AMERICA AND THE

10:25

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO

10:27

NOTICE.

10:27

MAYBE NOT THE PEOPLE IN

10:29
