>> BRAND NEW REPORTING REVEALS THAT THE PERSON TO REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT IS FIGHTING ANOTHER COVER UP WITH HIS ROLE AT THE HEART OF ONE OF THE DARKEST EPISODES IN RECENT AMERICAN HISTORY. THE DEADLY CAPITOL INSURRECTION TEAM TRUMP NOW TRYING TO WASH AWAY, BUT IT'S AN INDELIBLE STAIN ON TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY AS HE ASKED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SEND HIM BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE. THE GUARDIAN REPORTING THIS QUOTE, DONALD TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO LAUNCH A NEW LEGAL BATTLE TO SUPPRESS ANY DAMAGING EVIDENCE FROM HIS 2020 ELECTION SUBVERSION CASE FROM BECOMING PUBLIC BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTION PREPARING TO SHUT DOWN THE POTENCY OF ANY MINI TRIAL ELSE WHERE HIGH-PROFILE OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM. THE SO-CALLED MINI TRIALS ARE THE RESULT OF THE SUPREME COURT RULING. BUT TRUMP IS IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION FOR OFFICIAL ACTS. EVEN IF THOSE OFFICIAL ACTS WERE DONE IN FURTHER ENDS COUP PLOT. THEY ARE AT THE BENCH AREA HEARINGS THAT ARE INTENDED TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH'S INDICTMENT OF DONALD TRUMP AND THE FEDERAL ELECTION CASE REMAINS INTACT AS LEGAL EXPERT IN OUR EYES EYES AND PUT IT, QUOTE, IT'S GOING TO PUT SOME OF THE MOST DISTURBING ELEMENTS OF THE ATTEMPTED COUP ON TRIAL, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THE COURT AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO CONSIDER IN THEORY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY INCLUDE WITNESSES FROM SOUND. VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE, HIS FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF, MARK MEADOWS, FOR EXAMPLE, NO SURPRISE THEN THAT DONALD TRUMP WOULD BE DESPERATE TO PREVENT THESE HEARINGS FROM EVER HAPPENING. ALSO FROM THE GUARDIAN, QUOTE, IN THE COMING MONTHS, TRUMP'S LAWYERS ARE EXPECTED TO ARGUE, BUT THE JUDGE CAN DECIDE WHETHER THE CONDUCT IS IMMUNE BASED ON LEGAL ARGUMENTS ALONE, NEGATING THE NEED FOR WITNESSES OR MULTIPLE EVIDENCIA AREA HEARINGS. PROSECUTORS WITH THE SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH, SMITH'S OFFICE PRESS FOR WITNESSES SUCH AS FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE ARE WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY. DONALD TRUMP'S LAWYERS ARE EXPECTED TO LAUNCH A FLURRY OF EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE AND OTHER MEASURES TO BLOCK THEIR APPEARANCE SETS. AND AS FOR THE CENTRAL ISSUE AT THESE HEARINGS, WHAT CONDUCT IS COVERED UNDER THE SUPREME COURT'S DEFINITION OF PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY TEAM. TRUMP WILL REPORTED THE ARGUE IN A FACT THAT A COUP IS OKAY. AS LONG AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOES IT ONCE AGAIN FROM THE GUARDIAN. QUOTE, TRUMP'S LAWYERS ARE EXPECTED TO ARGUE THE MAXIMALIST POSITION THAT THEY CONSIDERED ALL OF THE CHARGED CONDUCT. WAS DONALD TRUMP ACTING IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS PRESIDENT AND THERE FOR PRESUMPTIVELY IMMUNE AND INCUMBENT ON PROSECUTORS TO PROVE OTHERWISE. THIS INCREDIBLY CONSEQUENTIAL LEGAL BATTLE IS EXPECTED TO START NEXT MONTH WHEN JUDGE TIME TO CHECK AND REGAINS CONTROL OF THE CASE. LET'S BRING IN THE JOURNALIST BEHIND THE SCOOP, SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR THE GUARDIAN HUGO LULL BYLINE ON THAT REPORTING. JOHN AND HARRY ARE BACK WITH US TO GO. TELL US MORE. >> YEAH, LOOK, I THINK TRUMP WELL KNOWS THAT THE EVIDENCE THAT COULD COME OUT OF THESE HEARINGS COULD BE POLITICALLY REALLY DAMAGING BUT ALSO LEGALLY DAMAGING, RIGHT? I MEAN, THERE IS THE POLITICAL ELEMENT BECAUSE THE STOP ABOUT JANUARY 6 AND TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION DON'T PLAY WELL WITH VOTERS. WE KNOW THAT WE SEE THAT IN THE POLLS. BUT THERE'S ALSO A LEGAL ELEMENT HERE, WHICH IS IF PROSECUTORS CAN PUT UP SOME OF THE BEST WITNESSES THEY HAVE IN FRONT OF JUDGE CHUCK CAN HAVE THEM TESTIFY THAT NO, YOU KNOW, TRUMP WAS ACTING IN HIS CAPACITY AS A CANDIDATE AND NOT THE PRESIDENT. WELL, IT COULD MAKE PROSECUTORS LIFE EASY IN TERMS OF OVERCOMING THAT PRESUMPTIVE IMMUNITY. AND SO THEY HAVE FOUND A WAY SOME KIND OF THAT PLANNING STILL BY THEIR FOUND A WAY TO GET THROUGH THIS AND THAT RISE. AND THAT IS TO MOST THIS 2 PRONGED ATTACK, ONE TO SAY THAT WE DON'T NEED HEARINGS AT ALL. AND IF WE DO NEED HEARINGS, WE CAN DO IT. ONLY ON LEGAL ARGUMENTS WILL BE DRY, BORING NEW DOCUMENTS AND WILL BE KIND OF HYPOTHETICALS OF THE LAWYERS RAISING COURT. AND IF JACKSON TWEETED PASSES FOR WITNESSES, THEN THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM AND THEY ARE EXPECTING TO LAUNCH A FLURRY OF EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE MOTIONS. THEY WANT TO SAY TO THE JUDGE THAT THE RECORD IS A NEW AND THAT THE PREVIOUS DECISION BEFORE THE GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION ON THE BINDING AND THAT SHE NEEDS TO LITIGATE THE PRIVILEGE ISSUES IN YOU. AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE THE CORNERSTONE OF TRUMP'S EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT OF THE REALLY DAMAGING EVIDENCE GETS BEFORE PUBLIC BEFORE NOVEMBER. >> HARRY LITMAN, WILL IT WORK? >> YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT. THE SUPREME COURT OPINION IS NOT ONLY INCREDIBLY BROAD AND IT'S BASIC ARTICULATION OF THE IMMUNITY PRINCIPAL, NICOLE, BUT IT ALSO CONTAINS THESE MINES AND SINKHOLES OF OTHER PRINCIPLES. HERE'S A VERY BIG ONE. YOU MAY NOT HAVE EVIDENCE OF A OF IMMUNE CONDUCT TO PROVE EVEN YOUR YOUR I'D OFFICIAL AND NON IMMUNE CASE. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE CLOSE COLLEAGUES OF OURS ARE ENAMORED OF THIS MINI TRIAL IDEA. BUT THERE'S A CIRCULAR AREA IN THE COURT OPINION JACKSON S AS I CALL MIKE PENCE TO THE STAND BECAUSE I WANT TO ESTABLISH THAT THIS WAS, IN FACT, NOT IMMUNE. AND TRUMP SAYS, WAIT A SECOND, THAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ANY EVIDENCE. YOU CONDUCT STOP THE MUSIC, YOU MUST DECIDED FIRST. WHAT DOES TRUCK CAN DO NOW? AND REMEMBER, THIS IS UNITY, MEANING THERE IS ALWAYS IN OR LOOK AT TORREY APPEAL. SO I THINK AT A MINIMUM THERE IS GRIST FOR TRUMP TO TRY TO BLOCK IT AND THEN TAKE APPEALS FROM IT AND AND TO KEEP WHAT EXACTLY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, WHICH IS EVIDENCE, YES, THEY CAN DO IT ON THE THE ALLEGATIONS. AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE COURT TALKED ABOUT IN THE CASE. BUT CAN THEY ACTUALLY BRING PENCE TO THE STAND OR PAT CIPOLLONE OR ANYONE OF THAT NATURE? WHEN THE COURT HAS SAID YOU CAN'T PRESENT EVIDENCE OF IMMUNE CONDUCT TO PROVE THIS CASE? I THINK THERE'S A WHOLE KIND OF OBSTACLE COURSE THAT THE COURT HAS SET UP EVEN BEFORE YOU GET TO THAT POINT. AND IT IS D*** TRICKY. >> YOU KNOW, TIME HOW THE HOGANS HAD SOMETHING IN THE FIRST BLOCKING THESE SAID, YOU KNOW, VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, I MEAN THAT THIS SUPREME COURT HAS GIVEN THE PRO DEMOCRACY PRO WILL OF LAW COALITION SUCH GRESTE, RIGHT? BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE LEGAL THINGS BEING BATTED AROUND AND WEAPONIZED BY TRUMP. BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP ON LIVE TV HAD HIS SUPPORTERS GO TO THE CAPITOL, BE COPS WITH STICKS ENDANGERED THE LIFE OF MIKE PENCE AND HE'S GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT. AND I I FEEL LIKE FOR 8 YEARS WE'VE COVERED EFFORTS BY THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, MUELLER AND THE SDNY I JACK SMITH AND TRYING TO CHECK IN THE MAIL IN CANADA. HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE AND IT'S A GIANT GETS A NOT A NOTHING 0. NO ONE'S COMING TO SAVE ANYONE FROM DONALD TRUMP'S CLIMBING EXCEPT THE VOTERS. WHAT IS THIS IN YOUR VIEW? LOOK LIKE AND SUCCESSFULLY ARGUED AS A POLITICAL ISSUE? >> WELL, I FIRST WANT TO SAY TO CALL YOU AND I ARE BOTH. WE BOTH HAD THE EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF LEGAL TRAINING, WHICH IS TO SAY NOT. BUT I THINK I THINK I THINK THAT WE BOTH HAVE HAVE WONDERED AROUND POLITICS AND THE INTERSECTION OF POLITICS LONG ENOUGH TO TO A DEUCE ONE IMPORTANT WAY OF THINKING ABOUT THIS, WHICH IS THAT THE SUPREME COURT'S REALLY SCREWED US. YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE BOTTOM LINE HERE. IT'S AMAZING THAT HOW ONE DECISION WITH IT WRITTEN THE WAY THAT HARRY JUST DESCRIBED WITH THE LAND MINES, THAT'S KIND OF STREWN AROUND THE TRAP DOORS BEYOND JUST THE HEADLINE OF IT, YOU KNOW, THE WAY IN WHICH IS KIND OF HAVING THIS, THIS KIND OF LET ME JUST ADD A KIND OF EFFECT ON ALL OF THESE A POTENTIAL PROSECUTIONS AND EFFORTS. LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS REALLY INCREDIBLY DISPIRITING. AND I THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY DISPIRITING FOR THOSE OF US WHO SAW IN TWENTY-TWENTY HOW, YOU KNOW, AFTER 4 YEARS OF BANKING AT THE GUARDRAILS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY AND PLOWING THROUGH A LOT OF THOSE GUARDRAILS AND SHOWING US ALL HOW ACTUALLY FRAGILE THE SYSTEM OF OF DEMOCRATIC RULE OF DEMOCRATIC ACCOUNTABILITY THAT THAT IS AMERICA ACTUALLY WAS WE WE ALL LOOKED UP AND SAID, WELL, MAN, YOU KNOW, TELL YOU WHAT THE COURT HELD. THANK ALL THE COURTS HELD, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE TRUMP, YOU KNOW, WAY, IT WAS ALL THESE LAWSUITS TRYING TO PROVE THE ELECTION WAS WAS THAT WAS STOLEN. AND HE GOT KNOCKED DOWN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, REPUBLICAN JUDGES, DEMOCRATIC JUDGES, REPUBLICAN STATES, DEMOCRATIC STATES. YOU KNOW, WE SAID WELL THAT THAT THAT THAT'S ONE GUARDRAIL THAT STILL THERE, THE JUDICIARY AND AS MUCH AS ANYTHING WHAT HAPPENED AT THE SUPREME COURT WITH THE COMMUNITY ROLLING, IT FEELS TO ME LIKE THE LAST GUARDRAIL HAS NOW BEEN KNOCKED DOWN. AND THAT'S NOT YEAH. THERE ARE STILL JUDGES WHO WILL UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW. BUT BUT WHEN THE SUPREME COURT KNOCKS DOWN THE GUARDRAIL THAT HAS THESE RIPPLE EFFECTS ACROSS ALL OF THE REST OF JUDICIARY, WHERE JUDGES WHO WANT TO UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW NOW HAVE THEIR HANDS TIED OR DON'T KNOW HOW TO HOW THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING AFFECTS THEM. AND SO NOW THEY'RE SUDDENLY ON ON CERTAIN GROUND. I HAVE THE POLITICS OF THIS. I'M NOT YOU KNOW, IT'S A DECADE CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY. I THINK ON SOME LEVEL, THOUGH, WATCHING THIS WHOLE THING, IT'S AS DISPIRITING TO ME IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT, AMERICA, THIS IS DISPIRITING AS WELL AS REALLY ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF THESE LAST 6 OR 7 YEARS. >> RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S FOREVER. I MEAN, THIS SUPREME COURT DECISION IS BINDING UNTIL A NEW SUPREME COURT DECISION REVERSES THIS DECISION. IT'S DONE. WE'RE GOING HAVE A CONCERT OF COURT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, THEIR SMOKE. >> THERE'S USUALLY FIRE AND THE REPEATED DENIALS OF ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RADICAL MANIFESTO WRITTEN BY THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION TO SEND AMERICA BACK TO THE 1800'S. >> AND TEAM TRUMP ARE GENERATING A WHOLE LOT OF SMOKE AFTER THE FIRE. BRAND NEW REPORTING REVEALS THAT THE VERY SAME PEOPLE BEHIND THAT RADICAL MANIFESTO PROJECT 2025 ARE ALSO BEHIND TRUMP'S REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THEIR OFFICIAL PARTY PLATFORM. ABC NEWS REPORTS THIS QUOTE IN MAY, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND THE RNC ANNOUNCED THEIR PLATFORM COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP TEAM. THE SENIOR OFFICIALS TASKED WITH DRAFTING THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM AND THEY NAMED RUSS VOTE AS THE PLATFORM COMMITTEE IS POLICY DIRECTOR AND ED MARTIN AS DEPUTY POLICY DIRECTOR BOTH HAVE TIES TO PROJECT 2025. AND AS WE REPORTED ON THIS PROGRAM YESTERDAY, THE BOAT WAS A FORMER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION STAFFER WHICH BRINGS US TO THE WIDER POINT. IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT WHAT TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES PLAN TO DO IN A SECOND TRUMP TERM, LOOK AT WHAT THEY SOUGHT TO DO IN THE FIRST A KEY PLANK OF PROJECT 2025. IS A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE WAY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS FUNCTIONS SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. IT CALLS FOR THE UNDOING OF THE CENTRAL TENANT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, ITS INDEPENDENCE FROM POLITICS PROJECT 2025 CALLS TO, QUOTE, ENSURE THE ASSIGNMENT OF SUFFICIENT POLITICAL APPOINTEES THROUGHOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. THAT MEANS PURGE EXPERIENCED CAREER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS REPLACE WITH APPOINTEES WHO WILL DO WHATEVER DONALD TRUMP ASKS EXPERIENCED MERITS ABILITY TO PASS A BACKGROUND CHECK. NOT THAT WILL HAPPEN NOW. THAT WILL MATTER. THE ONLY QUALIFICATION FOR SERVING IN TRUMP'S DOJ LOYALTY AND ACQUIESCENCE TO TRUMP. AND AS TRUMP HAS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, A KEY PRIORITY FOR HIS SECOND TERM WILL BE IN HIS WORDS, RETRIBUTION AND REVENGE. THAT MEANS MORE PEOPLE. WE'LL HAVE HARROWING EXPERIENCES LIKE OUR NEXT GUEST. MICHAEL COHEN HAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS SENT BACK TO PRISON NOTABLY 4 YEARS AGO TODAY. IN A MOVE A JUDGE DEEMED RETALIATORY FOR REFUSING TO BACK OFF PUBLISHING A BOOK ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. THE SERVICE START THE HOUR. THE AFOREMENTIONED MICHAEL COHEN, HOST OF THE MARICOPA AND POLITICAL BEATDOWN PODCAST, AUTHOR OF THE BOOKS DISLOYAL AND REVENGE, HOW DONALD TRUMP WEAPONISE THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AGAINST HIS CRITICS. MICHAEL COHEN, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, NICOLE. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE SORT OF SLEEPWALKING INTO THIS FALSE NOTION THAT WHAT TRUMP PROMISES IN A SECOND TERM IS NEW. IT'S NOT IT'S WHEN HE SUCCESSFULLY DID IN THE FIRST TERM WHICH IS TO PROSECUTE AND JAIL PEOPLE WHO THREATENED HIM. PEOPLE. HE DEEMS HIS RIVALS ARE OPPONENTS. PEOPLE LIKE YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED 4 YEARS AGO TODAY. >> PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO NICOLE AND THE PRESIDENT WR AND THIS NBC STATION, DONALD HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT HIS ENEMIES LIST AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON IT, INCLUDING FOLKS LIKE MARK ZUCKERBERG. WHAT THEY DID IS THEY LORD ME DOWN TO 500 PEARL STREET AND THEY PROVIDED ME 90 SIDE. SHOW THIS ON YOUR PROGRAM. A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK BE PRESENTED MYSELF AND OF FRIEND OF MINE WHO THE LAWYER, JEFFREY KAYE LEVY Y ESTA JOIN ME BECAUSE SOMETHING JUST SEEM TERRIBLY MS. AND THEY GAVE US THIS 2 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT IS FILLED WITH SYNTAX AND GRAMMATICAL AND SPACING ERRORS. AND THE VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL VIOLATION OF MY FIRST AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT IN THAT IT PROHIBITED ME FROM SPEAKING TO THE MEDIA, PUBLISHING A BOOK DOING TELEVISION. ANYTHING INCLUDING FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WARNED NOT TO DISCUSS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME BECAUSE IT WOULD GLAMORIZE A FEDERAL INMATE WHO WAS ON CONFINEMENT STATUS. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE RIDICULOUS. OUR GRAPH AGAIN, THAT WAS DRAFTED FOR ME. AND HOW DO WE KNOW THIS? 2 PAGE DOCUMENT WAS DRAFTED FOR ME BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN A FEDERAL IDENTIFIABLE NUMBER 2, IT WHERE IS THE REAL ONE? CLEARLY DOES. WELL, WHEN I REFUSED TO SIGN IT AND ASKED THAT THEY TAMP DOWN THE LANGUAGE BECAUSE MY BULL DISLOYAL AT THE TIME WAS ALREADY WITH THE PRINTER. WHAT THEY DID IS INSTEAD THEY HAD A GUY NAMED PATRICK MCFARLAND WHO IS IN OUR OUR AM OVER AT A RESIDENTIAL RE-ENTRY MANAGER OVER AT NBC CORRECTIONAL FACILITY SIGN IT REMAINED ORDER AND THEY HAD ME TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY 3 MARSHALS HANDCUFFED AND SHACKLED ME AND I SAY THIS NOT IN WARD TO GLAMORIZE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT REALLY TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN YELLING FROM THE ROOFTOPS FROM EVERY SINGLE PLATFORM THAT I CAN THAT MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT WHAT THEY DID TO ME, THEY WILL DO TO YOU. DONALD ALREADY HAS A BLUEPRINT OF WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO AND THAT'S WEAPONIZING THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WHAT CAN I SING GOVERNMENT WHICH HE SAID HE WAS ALSO GOING TO DO. EVERY PERSON THAT WORKS IN GOVERNMENT WILL BE WORKING NOT FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUT FOR HIM AND THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN A LOYALTY PLEDGE TO HIM, MEANING THERE WILL BE NO OPPORTUNITY TO FILE AS I DID TO MY OTHER BOY. AND I KNEW EVERY ABS. CORPUS PETITION THAT HAD ME RELEASED FROM THE 16 DAY SOLITARY CONFINEMENT BRINGING IT TO A TOTAL OF 51 DAYS OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. NOBODY WILL HAVE THAT OPTION AGAIN IF DONALD TRUMP ENDS UP IN THE WHITE HOUSE. >> WHAT IMPACT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE INSIDE OF HIS BRAIN IN TERMS OF HIS DESIRE TO STAY JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CRIMINALITY TO STAY OUT OF JAIL, TO AVOID WHAT CHRIS CHRISTIE IS TO SAY. THE CLINK OF THE DOOR, THE SUPREME COURT WIPED AWAY THAT CHECK ON HIS WORST IMPULSES BY GRANTING HIM ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY. WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S CAPABLE OF? >> ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. AND EVERYTHING YOU ALLOW YOUR MIND TO WANDER INTO THE FAR THIS LEVEL OF DYSTONIA AND THEN YOU WILL FINALLY GET A SMALL GLIMPSE INTO JUST HOW FAR THAT HE WILL PUSH THIS. WELL, I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THIS. WHAT HE DID TO ME IS ABSURD. IT MAY BE THE VERY FIRST POLITICAL PRISONER HELD BY MY OWN COUNTRY BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR REFUSING TO WAIVE MY FIRST AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. THE SUPREME COURT DECISION JUST GAVE HIM IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION ON THIS AND BY CLAIMING AND YOU'LL HAVE TO DO IT ON AN AD HOC BASIS BY CLAIMING THAT THIS WAS A PRESIDENTIAL ACT THAT WAS DONE IN FURTHER AND OF THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT. SEE, THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT HE AND HIS SICK OF FANS THAT WILL BE THERE IN 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN AT LEAST ATTEMPTING TO DO. >> MICHAEL, HE'S TALKED ABOUT A TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNAL FOR LIZ CHENEY. PEOPLE LAUGH IT OFF. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEAR THAT? >> I TELL YOU NOT TO LAUGH. THERE IS NOT. FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT IT. THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THE MAN WHO WAS SEEKING THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN OUR LAND WOULD GIVE US AND AGAIN BE THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET. AND HE'S TAUGHT COOKING ABOUT MILITARY TRIBUNALS. HE'S TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. HE'S TALKING ABOUT USING SEAL TEAM 6 WITHIN WHICH TO GO INTO, YOU KNOW, I ROUND UP HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES AND OPPONENTS AND EACH JAIL INCARCERATE THEM THE WAY THAT HE WANTS THEM TO DO IT NOW IN THE MORNING TO STOP IN ORDER TO HELP TO STOP THIS SORT OF MOVEMENT TOMORROW. IN FACT, IN THE MORNING, MY MORE YEARS ARE GOING TO BE FILING A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES IN ORDER TO HEAR THE CASE, MICHAEL COHEN VERSUS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. BECAUSE IN THAT CASE, THAT'S THE HEAVIEST CORPUS PETITION. THE JUDGE ALVIN K HOW WAS BEING DEEMED THAT THE ACTIONS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, BILL BARR, DOJ WAS RETALIATING FOR E. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE TERM ENOUGH AND I DON'T THINK HE GETS ENOUGH PLACE. CERTAINLY NOT BY THIS WHITE HOUSE. THAT'S THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE. IT WAS RETALIATORY BY AN EVIL AND VINDICTIVE INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL SEEK TO DO THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS SUPREME COURT DECISION, HE WILL HAVE UNLIMITED AUTHORITY AND OUR WHETHER IT'S TRUE OR NOT, HE WILL FEEL THAT HE DOES AND HE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY SINGLE AVENUE THAT HE POSSIBLY CAN. AND MY MY STATEMENT THAT I SAY TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING JOE BIDEN AND HIS FAMILY, INCLUDING HUNTER BIDEN, INCLUDING YOU, INCLUDING MARK ZUCKERBERG, INCLUDING ELON MUSK, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT THEMSELVES, THE WARRANT, THE VERY WARRANT. >> JOHN, HOW AND I I FEEL LIKE WE AS THE MEDIA ARE SO SLOW TO ADAPT TO HOW QUICKLY TRUMP MOVES THE OVERTON WINDOW AND WHAT WAS THE TERRAIN OF EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM DURING THE FIRST TRUMP TERM, WHICH IS FIGURING OUT WHEN HE WAS REALLY TRYING TO GET JEFF SESSIONS AND THEN BILL BARR, MY RESIDENCY TO DO IS NOW IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM, RIGHT POLITICIZING DOJ AND USING IT FOR POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS AND PERSECUTIONS IS NOW THE RNC POSITION ON A WEB SITE OUT LOUD AND IT IS PART OF NORMALIZING IT SO THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS, THERE'S THIS MOMENT WHERE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING HAPPEN, RIGHT? THIS ISN'T NO, NO, NO, THIS IS NEW. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT HE PLANS TO DO. >> RIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE ONE OF THE LIBERATING. I'M SAYING THIS IRONICALLY, BUT IT'S ONE OF THE LIBERATING THINGS ABOUT BECOMING A CONVICTED FELON IS, YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR WHAT YOUR LAWLESS, WHAT YOU'RE OFFICIALLY IN THE ROUND OF THE LAWLESS. YOU CAN YOU CAN DO YOUR KIND OF FREEDOM, ALL OBLIGATION TO TO STILL BE LAWFUL, AT LEAST IN YOUR MIND IF YOU'RE DONALD TRUMP. AND AND, YOU KNOW, NICOLE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE FORGOTTEN THAT. >> YOU KNOW, TRUMP WAS WAS SO NEW, THE THINGS HE WAS WILLING TO DO WORSE NEW WERE SO FOR SO FAR OUTSIDE THE REALM OF ANY HISTORICAL, IT IS OUR PRESIDENT IN THE PRESIDENCY THAT IT WAS A HEROIC THING THAT THAT THE JOURNALISM DID IN THAT PERIOD WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE BECAUSE ALL OF THAT WAS IN KNOW WHAT HAD REALLY EXPERIENCING ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT BEFORE. AND IN A LOT OF IT WAS IT WAS A HAPPENING IN THE SHADOWS RIGHT IN 2020 AND THIS IS NORTH. WE'LL FORGET THERE WAS NO REPUBLICAN PLATFORM IN TWENTY-TWENTY. MEANTIME, DONALD TRUMP HAD A CONVENTION WHERE THEY JUST SAID THERE WILL BE NO PLATFORM. WHATEVER TRUMP SAYS IS THE PARTY PLATFORM. IT WAS THE ULTIMATE, YOU KNOW, A PARTY SAID WHY, YOU KNOW HE WAS HE WAS HE WAS THE PLATFORM. AND THAT AGAIN MADE IT DIFFICULT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME EFFORT THERE TO HIDE THE BALL. NOW, THERE IS NO EFFORT TO HIDE THE BALL. IT'S ALL THERE. IT'S ALL OUT IN FRONT OF US. AND SO IT BOASTS THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF JOURNALISTS AND ALL CITIZENS, FRANKLY, TO TO GET THEIR HEADS AROUND WHAT HE'S PROPOSING. IT MAKES IT ALL THAT MUCH HIGHER, THE RESPONSIBILITY. BUT IN SOME SENSE, IT MAKES IT EASIER BECAUSE HE IS REALLY DOING US THE FAVOR. AND I GET I SAY THAT SOMEWHAT IRONICALLY, BUT NOT TOTALLY. HE'S KNOWN AS THE FAVORITE BASICALLY SAYING YOU WANT TO CALL ME A CRIMINAL, FINE, YOU KNOW, HOLD MY BEER. HERE'S THE HERE'S THE NEW STUFF I'M GOING TO DO. THAT IS HOW FAR I'M GOING TO GO. NOW THAT I'M KIND OF THE JESSE JAMES OF A REPUBLICAN OR NATIONAL POLITICS WITH IT, WE CAN SEE IT. THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHETHER WE WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. >> WELL, AND AND, YOU KNOW, JUST A SEMI OR WRITES HARRY LITMAN IN HER DISSENT THAT I THINK IT'S IT'S JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON THAT WARNS OF THE WHITE HOUSE BECOMING THAT SEAT OF CRIMINAL CONDUCT, THE SUPREME COURT GREENLAND THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE USHERED IN. I MEAN, THEY DON'T THEY DON'T LIVE ON AND ON AND ARE MEDICALLY SEALED ISLAND WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THE ACTORS ARE. THE CASE WAS DONALD TRUMP VERSUS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE PREPARED FOR? >> SO THEY HAVE GREEN LIT IT AND TRUMP DIDN'T EVEN NEED GREEN LIGHTS BEFORE YOU WENT THROUGH AMBER AND RED ONES. JOHNS IS THE STARTING POINT. THERE. HE IS NOW TRYING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF. IS TRUMP FROM THE 972 PAGE PLAN AND WHO KNOWS? I DOUBT HE'S AND READY EVEN TO PAGE 2. BUT THE BIG POINT OF IT, MAINLY THE COMPLETE AN ARMY IS LAST TIME ANYONE WHO'S EVER CROSSED HIM. AND SECOND, THE ABSOLUTE GUIDING OF THE CIVIL SERVANTS STARTING WITH THE O J IS JUST A MANIFEST INJURE FOR WHAT MICHAEL COHEN SAID, BUT BUT A WHOLE LONG LAUNDRY LIST, AND THAT IS NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY HIT IN. AND YOU'RE RIGHT. AND I KNOW WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS MORE, BUT THE COURT HAS REALLY GREENLEE THEIR LEAST INSULATED. AND WE ARE AND SOME KIND OF SERIOUS SITUATION HERE GOING INTO NOVEMBER. >> RIGHT WHERE THE VOTERS ARE TRULY THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CAN STOP IT IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT,
