4:02 pm
cameras, drones, bomb sniffing dogs barricades, federal and new york city officials have been calling on every resource they have for what will be an unprecedented several weeks and in a moment, we're going to take you inside the nypd joint operation center where officials are combing oversensitive intelligence ahead of trump's appearance in the courtroom. well that courtroom will be one of the most secure rooms and all of new york inside a former president and a jury of 12 men and women who will ultimately decide his guilt or innocence. and that jury may bail trump out. and this is important to consider because you don't usually hear this part of it, but think about it this way. it is a criminal trial that case juries must be unanimous so putting it another way, one juror is enough to prevent a guilty verdict. so you hear trump complaining about can't get a fair trial in manhattan. >> well, >> actually know the odds may be in trump's favor. just looking at the politics of it. >> are harry >> enten crunch the numbers? >> joe >> biden won 87% of the vote,
4:03 pm
manhattan in 2020, they're 12 jurors. so if you do the math, that means there's about an 80% chance that at least one juror of that 12 is friendly to trump or even a trump supporter assuming that that jury pool is reflective of manhattan's electric and that one is all trump needs, just one supporter to sink the government's case into a payment made to adult film star stormy daniels, just before the 2016 election. >> the whole >> trial is about whether that payment was made to influence the election and tonight trump unleashed once again on the judge in the case i was recently informed that another corrupt a new york judge, juan merchan gagged me. that's gagged. like you can talk but again, give me with respect to a case that everyone including the da fehlt should never have been brought. this judge, should be recused. and case should be thrown out. he's totally conflicted. there's never been a judge more conflicted than this one.
4:04 pm
anything like it >> of course, you can say all those things in the judge as a judge should remains quiet. and above it, friend jim grass is outside the courthouse in lower manhattan where jury selection will begin on monday morning and brynn, you have done extensive reporting here. what are you learning from your sources? about the security preparations are underway for this unprecedented moment >> yeah, aaron, it will be a robust security packages. how is continually described to us. it's one that has been practiced in disgust for the last couple of months. now, within this courthouse here behind me, the handles hundreds of cases daily this is a trial like no other is expected to last six to eight weeks. so law enforcement really on a state, local, and federal level, needs to have this delicate balance of protecting the public, the former president, while also allowing business as usual the crush of media
4:05 pm
>> protesters and supporters >> and the >> complicated task of protecting the presumptive republican presidential nominee, who is also the defendant >> this >> whole area is going to look very different come monday yeah. >> i mean, obviously, a lot of area brim is going to be frozen for the arrival of the expressive outside manhattan criminal court. this is where donald trump's trial kicks off monday. police are preparing for what even they describe as an unprecedented several weeks is there any difference from your sample? point on the ground now that trump is the presumptive nominee rather than a past president. >> well, that's why i'm saying obviously going to wrap ratchet it up. >> that means the building will be wrapped in a security blanket of cameras, uniformed officers drones, bomb sniffing dogs and barricades so just a small sample of what's available. >> cnn was given a look inside the nypd is joint operation
4:06 pm
center and intelligence and visual hub for the nypd and its law enforcement partners. >> it's a big challenge. it's a lot of moving parts and the attention of the nation and often the world will be on new york city for this entire event. >> this is the first criminal trial of a former us president in history. but donald trump has been in and out of courtrooms for the past year. >> this really is just a continuation of what occurred when he was on the civil trials, giving law enforcement a head start on how to prepare and what to expect. >> it includes being nimble >> and responding to media threats. >> we got word of that bomb threat this morning. >> since trump's indictments, law enforcement says threats against judges, district attorneys, and others have become almost expected. >> we're gonna be looking at the threat picture on a constant basis, social media, scrubbing just listening to people making calls are making threats online. >> how do you handle that? >> we want to find the basis of the threat. is it real? is it an online warrior? is it
4:07 pm
>> what kind >> of extra security preparations do we have to take? >> it includes also protecting jurors toward those picked could possibly be treated the same as jurors in trump's civil trial against e. jean carroll >> they may be >> driven in daily from a secret location for their safety >> and moving. trump, who likely will spend most of his knights at trump tower will be a calculated choreography between the nypd and secret service let's who have triggered more robust security plants, >> just one precedent it is. and that's why we've ratcheted up to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch everybody goes home safe? >> all right. let me take you inside the courthouse to that 15th floor. that's where the trial is going to take place. it's going to be shut down to the general public come monday, the elevator, the former president uses will also be frozen inside that court room. trump will sit at the defense table behind him will be secret service and in addition to
4:08 pm
that, there will also be court officers sitting in pews to create a protective barrier between trump and the general public. aaron is really incredible to think about it. all right, thank you so much, brynn, with all that reporting, let's go now to our legal analysts, ryan goodman and mark o'mara, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor. so thanks so much to both of you. ryan here, brennan and in the massive security, all this reporting that she has done and on monday, you've got 500 jurors who are going to parade and they do every monday. but they're going to go through all of this, right? they're gonna be well aware of this moment that they are walking into. does that have an impact? >> i think it must. it's just the gravity of the situation, the enormity of the situation that i would think in presses upon them the historical moment. and then if they do end up serving on the jury that they have a task to perform of applying the law to the facts and it's such a more solemn experience and the of this security presence, i think gives them an even deeper sense of it. they one hoax that then they perform their duties as they're supposed to jurors.
4:09 pm
>> so some mark in the 500 that are going to walk in, right. you're only going to end up with 12 ultimately who are going to be the decision-makers and you have been involved with so many jury selections in high-profile, high-stakes criminal cases. trump's team. >> their goal is to get at least one person on that jury. just one is all they need right. to raise a question and i just shared harry enten math just, you know, if you if you're going to say that these decisions are made, them politics, which of course rionda saying we all hope that they aren't if people are gonna do their duty as citizens, but even looking at it from that perspective on manhattan voter rolls, you've got an 80% chance that there'll be one juror on that panel who will be get trump supporter are favorable to trump. so what is the defense looking for? how difficult is this going to be for them >> well, actually, i think it's going to be quite easy for the defense from that perspective, because you're right. they have to get somebody on that panel and we ask defense attorneys don't like talking about moving for a hung jury, right? we want an acquittal, but posh reality is that political harsh reality is he does not want a conviction
4:10 pm
before the election and a hung jury will put this case off another couple of three months, potentially. so yes, the defense team is going to be looking for that sympathy jury that somebody who is really to listen to trump willing to like trump before they even walk into a corner. and you're right, 20% of the people, even in manhattan lichen. but nationwide, we know there's a greater percentage of people that have a sympathy and empathy for trump. and that's what they're going to be playing towards >> and ryan in that context, trump post that video today, i played a clip of it rarely against the gag order from the judge, which it may be surprising to a lot of people watching it west me, he's allowed to do that. the gag order actually, saying he can't he can't intimidate witnesses and you can't do that to family members of the judge, but the judge himself is not included in that. so we're going to see a lot more of this, right where to see a lot more of this as he tries to inject this uncertainty and poison into the atmosphere around this judge. the jury has been told not to watch. >> there's
4:11 pm
>> no jury in new york. there's no one who hasn't turned on local news or something and seeing some part of this, how do you get around that? >> it's very difficult to get around it. it almost another example is just being in yorker getting in the backseat of a taxi that starts out with television news, local news. and this is gonna be the biggest news around. >> it's going to be the jury selection in the trump criminal trial, right? yeah. exactly. >> and and also jurors have families and juries have jurors have friends and colleagues. and this will be a part of the information environment in which everybody is kind of stewing. so that idea that these kinds of statements by former president trump don't reach the jurors one way or another is hard to believe and that might in fact be part of his strategy could you are his strategy might be just the general public, but this is an indirect effect. >> it certainly is. i mean, mark, i know you believe that trump's team could actually play into the comments that he's been making about the judge to help him at the trial, walk us through that so i think they have to and they have such
4:12 pm
great environment within which to do it. because look, either he isn't arrogant person who's ignoring the law and the processes, or he is so innocent and he is so upset with being falsely accused that he has to present themselves like that in class. if you look at it through that lens then the defense can lean into it, right? they can say, you've to the accent you've heard of, because let's face it as was just said, there is nobody in this panel who has not heard about this case. and for that matter, has not made some previous position about we're not trying to get people who haven't heard they've been hiding in a corner somewhere. but we want people who will acknowledge what they've heard about it. and the defense can play into that by saying you've heard my client my client, you've heard them complain about the process, the proton complaint about the judge are you okay with somebody who believes he is so innocent that he has to speak out what i great defense question to present >> and i'm glad we have u because we you get you get a real insight into their their worldview because you've done these, these crucial defense
4:13 pm
cases. thanks very much to both of you next, i'm going to speak to oj simpson's longtime manager it a roller coaster relationship is simpson over decades. and tonight, he's good to tell you about it, sharing some of the 70 hours of videos he built up simpson and the details of their last conversation just before simpson die. plus, we have new video just into outfront from the southern border. this video that we've just gotten is a group of migrants crossing into california, evading mexican authorities, right before our cameras are david culver is there. he saw his live into quanta after this and breaking news, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene tonight says she will go ahead with trying to oust mike johnson, even if trump backs johnson and she's just speaking to our manu raju, we're going to bring that to you next >> okay. everyone our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition are strength and energy >> ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals transfer immune health, and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein

4:21 pm
>> you were there in that courtroom through so much of this. we've got video a video of you you know, i can it's obvious who it is. you were covering the oj simpson trial from beginning to end. tom, what stands out to you the most from all those months that you spend in court you know, aaron as those months went by, i didn't spend a lot of time in the courtroom itself. i spent a lot of time covering everything around that in all the analysis outside one of the things i was really struck by was how early you could see this divergence happening, where parts of the community enlarge part the black community was saying, yes, you have to be suspect of police evidence. you have to be suspect of prosecutors. yes. we're listening to what the defense has to say, and many people in the white community the opposite. we're like, well, no, you trust? see authorities. they have a case here. they're pursuing it you could see that happening for months before you got to the verdict so the response after the verdict was really no surprise >> i was really amazing. >> we remember that white >> bronco chase. i remember where i was watching that with

4:23 pm

recently than that norman >> was that conversation like and how did he sound? >> he sounded like okay. just not quite as you know, i could tell he was damaged my his voice. but at the same token, it was time i think for us to get together and talk for a few minutes we had a very roller coaster relation. >> i guess you would call >> you got extremely angry with me when i when i was doing that movie? who feel nicole, he didn't like that at all. he didn't like me contact and the other was willing to night of the murders >> so he stopped >> talking to me. i don't know you anymore and erased me that's what oj does when he's done with somebody he just eracism >> but >> then we got back together and i think he just wanted to he knew what was happening to him and he didn't want to leave on bad terms. >> that's all i could think
4:26 pm
of. >> i mean, you mentioned obviously, you did in your in your work at the time 2013, right? you implicated him in the murderers >> did was this last >> call, i guess it sounds like what you're saying. was it a reconciliation after that? i mean, did did you get the sense that it was i don't want to use the word apology. you tell me what it was, but a goodbye >> he wanted to put it all into past and i did do as let's just put it to pass, call it a day and we both agreed to that and then we just talked happy talk about the things we have done because sometimes the person when he gets real sick wants to hear happy thoughts >> you have recorded. i know more than 70 hours of tapes of the time you spent together, norman, as i said, you spent a lot of time together and you knew him and all these different chameleon o'jays? you said at one point of the tapes that you shared with us, there's a song playing about oj and in this song, it's about oj. >> have a >> killed hiex-wife. he's on yo tape listing along

4:28 pm
expressions. he's getting into the song your ice cream melting and all the whole nine yards >> how could you even looking at him though >> yeah react to that? >> i mean, >> knowing that at that point, you come to the conclusion that you implicated him, that, you know, in the murders that he could sit there and sing along with that song. could you ever understand the psychology of that given how well you knew him? >> we kind, of take us because in his mind, he didn't do it because he didn't actually do the murders. and oj not a great guy and he thought even not that nice guy. he's not a bad guy. he just is he a murder? that's the question everybody has asked himself. no one way to do that is actually did watch him watching matter. listen to it >> could tell you everything thank it took me 20 years. i've investigative work to figure out what happened. wasn't something you're going to learn overnight >> so there's too many >> smoke and mirrors out there right now.

the border, what did you see? how did they do it? >> hey, there aaron. yeah. we're here with migration officials from the mexican side and we've been spending the past couple of days trying to get a better sense of these revamped efforts to try to stop folks from illegally crossing. and it's interesting because having covered the border now for several months and going back even more than a year isn't the toughest level of enforcement i have seen at the us-mexico border. and it's coming from the mexico side right now and the video that you pointed out, we were they are with mexican officials as they were showing us some of the vulnerable spots on the wall and that answer your question is how many of these migrants are still getting through? they'll either, as you can even see behind me, use portions of the wall and have equipment to cut out little squares and usually they're doing that with smugglers who are backed by cartels and able to get in or you can even see up here on this portion of the wall, there's markings higher up and there's a lot of them. they have made these ladders that essentially they'll throw up and then they'll scale up the wall and continue down the
4:36 pm
other side. now, when they get to the other side of this one here, they're on us territory, but there's yet another wall in this portion that keeps him from entering the us right away. so they have to be processed. and many of them are trying to get those claims for asylum process by us officials it is amazing, david, what you're showing us, what you're seeing in plain sight, the markings, the places to throw the ladders up. just just seeing it so tangibly. and these crossings, i mean, obviously you've got the united states has a crisis on its hands, but what's fascinating from what sounds like what you're saying is it's mexican authorities who are taking king action that residents in mexico are increasingly frustrated with the migration crisis as well. so what are you seeing on that >> so we were hearing that and we wanted to see it firsthand there and that's why we came down here and wanted to spend some time with mexican officials and to see what they have put together as far as these new efforts is quite striking because it is in many places along the border much more than you'd see from the
4:37 pm
us side as far as law enforcement presence, as far as what residents think. and i'm going to show you where we are because this gives a bit of a better context. this is actually a neighborhood here if you pan this is private community to backs up, right? to the us-mexico border. >> and it's interesting because >> we've been in touch with residents on the us side and they're angry and they have shared with us over the past several months that they have these migrants coming through their property and that is frustrating them the same type of frustration is felt here on the mexico side and communities like this, this is actually a private wall are dealing with smugglers who will come through and they'll drop off groups of migrants in areas like this. and then even in this portion, you can see they have pulled back some of the barbed wire on this private cement wall and they use that then to climb over the actual border wall. and so what has now been the result? >> well, the folks in this >> community have petitioned their state's governor of baja, california, who in turn has had the mexican national
4:38 pm
guard and we saw this just a couple of hours ago. but trolling neighborhoods like this, once you have to imagine that aaron, you have in your own community national guard member, at least here on the mexico side. now, coming through and setting up camp in some places to patrol and tomorrow we're going to have much more on some of the remote camps that mexican officials have deployed two and set up an infrastructure. and we're going to show you that exclusively. when we join you have 24 hours from now. >> wow, it is absolutely incredible and just so amazing when you see them actually just walking through the scrub there. i just said that instability, that uncertainty that is so pervasive and permeating both sides of the border from what you're showing. all right. david culver. thank you. david mentioned and he will have that exclusive report front tomorrow, that rare look at the conditions on the ground at some of those remote sections of the border wall where he's going to take you tomorrow and you don't want to miss that. so we'll see you tomorrow, david thanks. >> all right. and i want to go now to the democratic congressman from new york, tom suozzi hizon, the house homeland security committee. he won the special election to
4:39 pm
replace george santos, in large part because of his focus on border security, which you are incredibly focused on. congressman suozzi. so you heard david cole verse report. i i don't know if you could see the return but it is incredibly powerful to look at the wall and see the markings where the ladders are thrown up, where the barbed wires pulled back. >> the >> context here, congressman, we've got a new axios poll tonight that binds 42% of latino adults in america support a wall or offense on the us mexico border. and that is not just maybe larger than then many listening may expect. it is also up 12 points in the past three years. >> should >> president biden be hearing this as a blaring wake-up call absolutely this is a problem that the american people are concerned about. and i've always said that the best elected official, the best politician is the one who says what the people are thinking already and the people of the united states of america where they are the republicans, independents are democrats are concerned about the border.
4:40 pm
there turned about what they see on your show tonight what they see as chaos. and a wall is not going to solve it by itself, but listen, make it part of the solution. let's get a bipartisan solution like the senate bill that was negotiated by james lankford, one of the most honest ethical conservative republicans in the senate, along with the senator chris murphy and senator kyrsten chiller brand cinema. let's use that bipartisan compromise and let's push it forward well, >> part of the reason that this is hitting such a chord, there are many reasons, but is also the fear of the fear of the unknown. what is coming across the border. okay. and the former national intelligence director james clapper, i recently had a conversation with him, congressman, he told me that his quote, very concerned about terrorists exploiting the southern border. he said it was in his words, a serious national security concern in that context today, the fbi director chris wray hey warned about his growing concern, and i want to use his
4:41 pm
words directly about the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the isis k attack we saw at the russia concert hall. now in that congress hall, concert hall, a crocus 144 people were killed what more do you know about chris raise warning >> i know that people are concerned. people are worried that uncertainty of what's going to happen because of this open border is making people worried. and we have to recognize that people said to me during my campaign. and even now, oh, the board of the board of the border, that's a republican issue. no, it's not. >> it's >> an american issue and we must address it now the president has started addressing it much more. he talked about in the beginning of his administration. now he's talking about it more and i'm hoping he'll take some unilateral action and we can force a bible the partisan compromised because we had a deal on the table that was endorsed by the wall street journal, the us chamber of commerce, even the border patrol union president was a
4:42 pm
big trump endorsed the deal and president trump swooped in and said, oh, i don't want to give biden a victory. i want to run on the chaos. well, that's unacceptable let's make a deal. let's actually address this very real problem. >> all right, you just, as i mentioned, obviously your house homeland security, you did also just returned from ukraine. and so i'm sure that what we heard today from the american general kris covalently, who happens to be the head of the us european command and the supreme allied commander of nato stood out to you. i mean, it stopped me in my tracks it he said, russia's military again, i want to quote from directly has grown back to what they were before the war began. >> i mean, that's incredible, congressman. we've been hearing about the decimation, the military, their inability to provide for their inability to mobilize mass death of of russians on the front lines. and now we're hearing there back to the way they were before the war began. i was me. it's shocking. i mean, this seems to be proof, at least of the efficacy, the perhaps even the failure of us sanctions to say the very least
4:43 pm
>> the sanctions have to be enforced more strongly, but we need to recognize russia is conscripting more soldiers. they're building more weapons. plans ukraine has done a fantastic job fighting back but right now, they're running out of ammunition and we need to help them as you heard, the japanese prime minister say today, this is important for all democracies throughout the world. and there was happily surprised to see how much bipartisan support there was for the prime minister of japan's comments about about the need to fund ukraine and to support ukraine. that support is in the united states congress, we need speaker johnson to put it on the floor. stop letting marjorie taylor greene and the other extreme is block him. let's get this on the floor. i promise it will pass. >> all right. what congress is suozzi, i very much appreciate your time and you just mentioned speaker johnson marjorie taylor greene. we do have breaking news because marjorie taylor greene has just spoken to our manu raju moments ago, and she's updated him
4:44 pm
about her plans to oust the speaker, mike johnson, even if he has trump's support. so manu has a breaking details there plus we have more breaking news because for the first time tonight, you're going to hear from a coast guard commander who spotted the word help on that sand of a remote island leading to the rescue of three sailors. we also have new pictures of their rescue. this hour for you >> laura coates live tonight 11 eastern on cnn >> this is a futurama go daddy arrow creates a logo website even social posts and minix >> ai ai, like it >> who wants to come see the future? get your business online in minutes with godaddy arrow

4:50 pm
this, johnson and trump have been slowly growing. their relationship since johnson, surprising the sent to the gavel yesterday, nobody was thinking if my and then we out of the word now, here the house johnson and election denier, the constitution was clearly violated in the 2020 election, has visited trump at mar-a-lago, at least twice and endorsed him in november. that was one of the closest allies that president trump had in congress >> johnson's predecessor, former speaker kevin mccarthy, was even closer to trump. >> i think the president has done a tremendous job when trump personally helped him get elected speaker, it was then marjorie taylor greene, who stepped down fielding calls from trump to help sway mccarthy's a posers, mr. for speaker amir four months later, it was trump, however, that declined saving his job when mccarthy was faced with his own rebellion from his right flank. a feat johnson is hoping to avoid these interrupt the
4:51 pm
dynamics in this threat to speaker johnson providing quite the backdrop going into tomorrow's meeting. a source close this speaker tells me tonight that they would of course, welcome anything that president trump wants to say in support of speaker johnson. but they're not aware even at this late hour, how much or how little he will get into it that he is the one that ultimately decide aaron sunlen. >> thank you very much. >> next, we >> do have breaking news. we've just gotten some new images of the free sailors who were rescued after being stranded on a remote island in the pacific ocean. and we're hearing for the first time. i'm one of the pilots who found them after he saw all the word help spelled out on the beach >> okay. everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced contrition for strength and energy >> ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune, and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein at fisher investments. we may look like

4:56 pm
arnold and his team rescued. then the menn had lived on the island for more than a week surviving off coconuts and what little water they could get and in another incredible twist, when the coast guard reached the island, they've learned the three men were surprised to hear that one of the rescuers who came along actually speaking in their local language even more surprised to learn that the three fishermen and that rescuer were related distant cousins, an incredible story >> and now tonight, >> payback, former president trump is determined to address his personal grievances and punish his political enemies if he's reelected. >> and we've got new >> reporting from cnn's phil mattingly and fill is going to show you exactly who trump is going after, what he plans to do and how phil mattingly is outfront world >> just >> before donald trump becomes the first former president to go on crimal trial >> all coming out of the doj. i thinthis h never happened be. >> h unyieing fact chalnge etorical defense on

thcampaign trail obscured a stark reality these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement. >> what he alleges is the exact authority trump plans to claim in a second term according to a cnn review of campaign policy proposals in conversations with advisers and allies, the threats leveled at his opponents. i will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president and the history of the united states of america, joe biden, ready to be acted out if voters return him to the oval office as one washington republican who talks to the trump campaign, framed it democrats hit first. we are going to hit back harder when confronted with the lack of any evidence of white house involvement republican said that's what he believes. that's what his people believe. and unlike last time, this is his party now in many voters don't seem to mind trump has repeatedly attacked prosecutors, judges, their families, their relationships, former officials, and his
4:58 pm
political opponents he called for former gop congresswoman liz cheney and the rest of the january 6 committee to be jailed. it's even floated execution. the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the guy accused the president of being on cocaine last week and nobody even blinked one biden campaign official said, when asked about trump's strengthen the polls after all, this animating feature two of trump's 2016 campaign never actually came to fruition, and no trump's affinity for vengeance existed long before that first campaign. >> if given the opportunity, i will get even with some people that would just loyal to me and was often raised in his first term, one of my favorite preoccupation actions during my time as national security adviser was counting how many times trump said john kerry should be prosecuted. >> it ran headlong into advisors, congress, and the courts lows to bend to his will. >> i am your warrior. i am your justice. and for those who have been wronged and betrayed i am
4:59 pm
your retribution, i am your retribution. >> this time is different. >> four indictments and 88 felony charges have sharpened trump's privately raised desire for revenge >> if they do this and they've already done it. but if they want to follow through on this yeah, i could certainly happen in reverse congressional report public ones who pushed back on trump are gone or on their way out almost always replaced by loyalists who owe their election to trump's endorsement. federal courts blocked or forced withdrawal of an unprecedented number of trump rules they are now stocked with hundreds of young and sharply conservative trump appointees at the same moment trump and his advisers embrace a maximalist theory on his presidential authority, the advisers who blocked trump's wishes replaced by trump devotees. >> i put great people in, but i also put people that i made a mistake with her form, the backbone of expansive policy proposals targeting justice department national security and intelligence officials, laying the groundwork to turn from an aid career government
5:00 pm
officials deemed insufficiently loyal, we need to make it much easier to fire rogue bureaucrat to a deliberately undermining democracy. >> and with trump escalating his rhetorical warfare and advance of his trial next week on charges brought by the new york district attorney. it should be noted there's a policy proposal for that, too. >> i will direct a completely overhaul doj to investigate every radical da and agn america for their illegal races. in reverse enforcement of the law >> i think the point here is this, there's no question next week donald trump faces the highest state's legal challenge of his career. but if he survives that first criminal trial and any other that occurs over the course of the coming eight months and wins reelection. he will enter the oval office, embolden personally and with more power than we've seen probably in decades from a president and a team. we're not hiding this, they're making very clear what they wanna do, how they wanted to do it, and that their supporters want them to deliver erin crow, as i listened to what someone tells you,
