friend. >> an amazing book. thank you for all you have done and all you have written. katherine paterson, the author of many young adult books. including today's velshi banned book feature, bridge to terabithia. that will do it for velshi today. we had so much fun, let's run it back tomorrow. i will be back here tomorrow morning with katie hobbs and some wild facts about the arizona abortion fight. velshi airs every friday and saturday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. eastern. eastern. im katie phang, here is the week that was. >> once in a generation look

at a total solar eclipse. parents convicted of their child's mass school shooting. getting them to sentence. >> you failed us parents. the punishment that you face will never be enough. this 50 year battle took it out of federal hands and brought into the hearts, minds, and the vote of the people of each state. it is up to the states to do the right thing. arizona supreme court ruled a total abortion ban on the books since the civil war is enforceable. a new york judge rejecting his third effort in three days to get out of his hush money trial. >> the remedy that the

defendant seeks is adjournment. personally responsible for generating much if not all of the surrounding publicity with his statements. with his unrelenting media post attacking those who he believes to be responsible for his plight. this is not new to him and is part of his own doing. without ruling, the judge slamming the door shut on his attempts to delay the inevitable. on monday morning, the case of the people will of the state of new york versus criminal defendant donald trump shall commence. commence. hourthe first time a former president will stand trial in a criminal case. the twice impeached and guided one term donald trump will

appear in a courtroom when jury selection begins in the first of his four criminal cases. charged with 34 felony counts of false applying business records to hide the payments he made to cover up extramarital affairs before the election. i need to make one thing abundantly clear, the hush money payments may be at the center of his alleged misdeeds, this is not a trivial trial about paying off an adult film star. hush money payments can be illegal if they are done to cover up a crime. the way that donald trump paid off stormy daniels through his lawyer right before the 2016 election, that makes this a campaign-finance crime. >> if it was you, in this case, the campaign-finance violation

case, they definitely do have a better ring than campaign- finance violations, you would be already charged, the case would've already taken place and he would be incarcerated. >> this trial has been a long time coming. the real estate mogul that does not pay contractors, the billionaire who can't or won't pay his legal fees. monday is tax day. the day when all americans are accountable for paying their fair share. the taxman is here, donald trump. like every american, you will be held accountable too. catherine, your voice is quintessential on the eve of this trial. that was your background, the

manhattan d.a.s office. i want to start with a last- minute move that happened yesterday. a letter sent by trump's lawyers regarding the jury selection process excusing jurors that cannot be impartial or serve. and how the jury questionnaire benefits trump. people who affiliate with his political party. how quickly can we expect a ruling from judge marsh on when we have jurors coming up monday morning. >> he is already visiting this issue with the defense about excusing people who said, well, i cannot be fair and impartial. what happens in other trials, judges keep those people. as a way of saying, i don't want to be here. the judge said, we will not waste time. people who self identify that

they cannot be wired to spend time and having them poison the other jurors going on about their biases. i predict that the judge will take care of this immediately on monday. and jury selection will begin. i have to point this out, as donald trump was saying, he will testify and i don't believe that he would. in new york, before jury selection and before every criminal trial there is something called the sandoval hearing which is specific to new york. prosecutors have to tell the court and tell the judge all of the prior bad acts that they plan to cross-examine the defendant about. these are criminal acts that they want to cross-examine. that will happen on monday morning too. the judge will decide, yes, you can cross-examine the defendant.

no, you can't. that is too prejudicial. i predict because knowing the judge and his reputation, he will get this trial started on monday. not with witnesses, obviously tying up the last minute loose ends with this letter to the defense. >> does not impact the trial at all if it is determined by the court that he should have recused himself but that jury selection has been completed and the case has move forward? >> that would be in this trial. it is not going to happen. obviously, if it did happen, it would be in this trial. it is not going to happen. the judges daughter is an adult and does not live with him.

there has already been a ruling so to speak for the advisory committee of the court system on judicial ethics that said this is not on the basis for recusal. the judge will not accuse himself and the appellate court will not stay with the trial and say that he has to be recused. >> worked in the d.a.s office, alvin bragg, someone you know well, will you see him taking part in this trial? cross-examining witnesses do you think? >> no. he will be in the courtroom. most d.a.s in a large office are not the ones actually trying the case, that is what he has, about 500 district attorneys to do, this is a six member trial team. three members of the trial team, i know very well. they are excellent cross examiners, they have trial

experience. he will show how important this is to the office. he will not be doing any opening or cross. >> donald trump is looking at 34 felonies for business falsifications. i don't think he will get that. is it possible that for the jury to actually find that donald trump is guilty of one or two of the 34, is this an all or nothing proposition in your opinion? >> that happens often. a multiple count indictment and the jury picks and chooses. i have a voice and that means that the jury was doing their job. they are not saying guilty to everything. you have to look at each count individually. then there is no proof beyond a

reasonable doubt. when the verdict does happen, it will take a while. if they are doing their job, they will go through each count individually and discuss is in new york the prosecutors are saying that the people have proven the case beyond a reasonable doubt. >> thank you for getting us started. get some sleep, because you are going to have to buckle in for this ride that will start on monday. thank you for educating us. thank you for being here. >> you are welcome. >> you can join me on monday on youtube after day one of donald trump's card -- trial. we are also going to be taking your questions live during this live stream.

as we move closer to the 2024 election, republicans are desperate to draw attention away from their cult leader and the lack of policy and plans

and have found a new distraction to focus on. on friday, mike johnson headed down to matt mar-a-lago to bend the knee and kiss the ring. with a straight face, he announced plans to announce a series of public hearings to crack down on noncitizen voting in federal elections. here is something he forgot to mention. noncitizen voting is a crime and is extremely rare. according to a study by the brennan center for justice, among 23.5 million votes, they only found 30. that's right, 30 incidents of suspected noncitizen voting. that is .001% of the votes cast in 2016. the institute following the 2020 election said that noncitizens do not illegally vote in detectable numbers.

i'm sure we will hear much more about how big of a problem it is from from in the months ahead. rick, i want to wish you a speedy recovery. i promise that we would not hurt you anymore so. i do want to play a little bit from the johnson event at mar-a- lago, take a quick listen. >> there are so many illegals in the country that if one out of 100 voted they would cast hundreds of thousands of votes in the election. >> this is the time to remind our viewers, johnson himself that johnson played a major

role in overturning the general election for donald trump. >> this is one more dog whistle to the republic in -- the chance that someone is a noncitizen voter and engaging in voter fraud, it is already illegal. in federal elections and state elections, this is not a problem. these are the people who want to inspire the maga base. they want to change the subject from their political problems. this one will not work. it does not have traction.

anyone who has had their mind changed by this is already a trump voter. >> this reminds me that this week he also is trying to tell his supporters at a rally, why do we not get people from nice countries. it is a dog whistle. black and brown people are bad people. and his comments of people coming to the united states. juanita, how clearly does this messaging work for donald trump when it comes to his base? >> it will appeal to the same people in 2018 when he originally made those comments. he stays true to himself with the policies he is trying to advance. that is what this is.

while it appeals to his base of supporters, you will continue to turn off independent voters and those republicans who do not want to see him anywhere near the white house again. there is a cap when it comes to the general election in terms of support. this will not help him at all. >> i was interested in the latest ad on a third-party candidate, we will play a quick clip of that and ask you a question on the other side. >> do you believe that covid was a conspiracy? >> there is no vaccine that is safe and effective. >> a right wingnut. >> is campaign rick, firing a staffer saying that dividing was the number one goal, including the feeding donald trump. >> he will pull some votes from

joe biden. his name was robert smith or robert jones, he would not be a threat. he would not have any kind of democratic votes. even though the kennedy family says that they condemn this guy. this is not our family legacy that we want to see in the family name. he will pull some from biden. there is an increasing sense and trumps own campaign that the monster they helped create one they thought he was on fox all the time, on info wars, with all of these media shows, now he has disappeared because they see the threat. the reason is to pull the curtain back. we want to undermine anti- factors that they can split

vote. god bless. we want to tell voters that are drawn to the kennedy name that these backgrounds and believe -- he is being funded by right- wing billionaires. this is not a campaign. they might have fired rita palmer. she was honest about the campaign. they want a spoiler against joe biden. >> we would be remiss if we did not talk about this week when it comes to abortion messaging. republicans in my opinion are trying to find a message in the wake of the civil war era abortion ban. democrats having, here is putting the blame on trump for helping to over turn roe.

>> that will be a massive driver. it will be compounded by the fact that constitutional amendments will be appearing on the ballot in multiple states across the country. i appreciate vice president harris being on top of this. because what she said is something that really lays out for you what is at stake here. talking about the fact that a second administration will mean more bands and fewer freedoms, that hits the nail on the head. hours before she spoke former president trump said that these day bands are working out exactly how he anticipated. that goes to reference the fact that he did appointed three anti-choice judges. they reference the dobbs decision in their decision and opinion to allow these bands to

move forward. laying this at trumps feet is appropriate. the biden campaign is continuing to amplify this message around freedom as it relates to the second administration because that is something that will resonate with voters. seeing the contrast before a former president saying that these bands that predate the civil war are exactly what i want compared to the administration that is fighting for women's basic freedoms is critical. something the vice president does explicitly well is emphasize that they need a congress that can send a bill that codifies roe v wade to president biden. >> getting a national protection in place to make sure that we have reproductive rights. rick wilson, wishing you a speedy recovery, thank you for being here. ahead on the katie phang show, trump is on file --

6000 new yorkers will be subpoenaed but not all will be appearing for the first criminal trial. 500 will be the starting number for the d.a.s office and trumps legal team. the goal is to bring that down to 12 jurors and six alternates. it is particularly high and will be examined under a microscope. you cannot win the case in jury selection, you can lose the case in jury selection. join me as one of the best criminal defense attorneys, david marcus. when the issue of jury selection came up, i had have

you on, you're the best triers and you go to court and try cases. that is an important distinction between people who say, i can tell you about a case which is you have to look in the whites of the eyes of the jurors, to pick them. walk us through why jury selection is so important. >> like you say, so many cases play out, 97%. this is the case that is going to trial. it is an important part in our country. everyone says they will be fair. it's trying to figure out who can actually be fair. that is the trick of the lawyers. it is tricky and hard to do to find people who do not come in with an agenda. >> we will talk about that in a second. explained for our viewers, in order to whittle that number down, there is a challenge

called a pause challenge. this is when jurors cannot be fair. if he shot someone on fifth avenue, i would still find him not guilty, that person would not be sitting as a juror. you can raise that as often as you can. the judge will say that only jurors that can be fair are safe. if not, they are struck for cause. >> in new york, there will be 10 for each side. >> a strike can be for any reason other than race or gender. things like that. a strike if someone comes on and says that i am not a heat fan. you can strike them and get rid of them. >> the next thing i want to ask

about, i invited our viewers to put in some questions. fine. if you get 10 strikes and you know it is for a reason that is all teary or and not good, that is the batson inquiry. >> you are using the challenge in an unconstitutional way. for any reason you can except for the unconstitutional reasons. >> we talked about the role juror. you defended successfully to the acquittal, a good candidate and mayor of tallahassee. in his federal criminal case. my understanding is you already had a concern to filter out the stiff or rogue jurors. >> there can be rolled jurors on each side. those who want to vote for the defense and want to get on the jury. when you are a prosecutor, you

have to know that you are a fierce prosecutor, the fear is people not wanting to be on the jury. trying to find an excuse not to be on the jury. the fear is people who want to be on the jury and people who are trying to get on the jury to write a book or get on a show. it's hard to read those people out. what we'll do is look at social media. we were not allowed to look at social media until after the case. if they are saying things that don't make sense or if they have an agenda online, people will see that. all of these jury consultants, high school and college kids. the kids will be looking to see what they are saying online. >> how does this work, david? if we are sitting at the counsel table together, i'm not putting us on team trump.

if we have the luxury of doing this, is it in real time? we have their name and we are trying to figure out if they are telling the truth, can we look at their social media in real time? >> and real-time people will be looking at their social media, sending messages to the lawyers, if they are on x, true social, what they have said. we found out one of the jurors found on their social media pages, trump is still my president. we could not find that out until after which was while we had this crazy juror, if we had been able to look at social media, we would've found out. there is no written western air. they are much more likely to tell the truth in a written questionnaire. saying things like all politicians are liars and

scumbags. we got rid of those jurors very quickly, they do not have that luxury in the trump case. only going through this questionnaire which is very time-consuming. >> knowing what you know about this trial on monday, this question comes up all the time, how long will the jury selection process take? >> days if not weeks. we will get a fair jury in this case. i believe it. most juries are fair. many want to come in and tell the truth doing the right thing. people are saying that jurors lie. many people are good people doing the right thing. we want to get a fair jury in this case. >> we will have you come back as the trial continues. i want to emphasize the importance of someone who actually does this and goes in and picks the juries and gets the acquittals.

nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent,

all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. tragic news out of australia this afternoon. police in sydney said that earlier today, one person went on a stabbing rampage at a shopping mall. killing six people and injuring others including a nine-month- old baby that was taken to a hospital with a stab wound. the attacker was fatally shot by police. the incident was non-terror related and they believe that the attacker acted alone.

no motive is known at this time. a rare win for mike johnson. after he was able to reauthorize the powerful surveillance program. he capped off the victory with a trip to mar-a-lago to kiss the ring of donald trump. >> i think he is doing a very good job, as about as good as you are going to do, i'm sure that marjorie understands that. she is a very good friend of mine. she has a lot of respect for the speaker. >> joining me is jasmine crockett. a member of the accountability committee. you were one of the votes that approved the amendment, this is despite donald trump posting.

they block the bill. johnson gets embarrassed because he does not have the votes. you still voted in support of the amendment. why? >> we had the amendment. it was actually going to require a warrant. if isaiah is all about foreign surveillance. it is run by russians at this time. if they decide to communicate with a member here in d.c. what fysa does is looking at what russia is doing. then you have more protections. constitutional protections. for me, it is a matter if you see something that looks a little funky, it might implicate an american, we

should execute a warrant before we start going through this americans life. we know that there were abuses of fysa before. with the rhetoric that we get out of trump, he will clean house and misuse fysa. when we are passing legislation, we should pass legislation that will survive anybody being in office. it was a big concern. the amendment failed because of a tied vote. the difference between the fysa that could not pass and the fysa that didn't pass the rule was that it was a reauthorization initially for five years. now it is a reauthorization for two years. i am okay with that. we don't have to go half a decade before we find out that there is something wrong with this iteration of fysa. we can hopefully go in and

corrected sooner rather than later. >> after all of the drama surrounding fisa, you can slap mike johnson space. he is going to bend the knee and kiss the ring for the man that was trying to kill fisa. trump wants to protect his own rear with not guiding connected surveillance. >> he is going to say, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i had to do it. as we see everything that is going around the world, the last thing we need to do is delete a tool that has been helpful. this is a tool that we needed when we had 9/11 happening on our soil and other places. it is really important to have the tool. what are the parameters to make sure that it cannot be misused

under the current administration or another administration. ultimately, fisa is supposed to expire next week. that is what you saw. we were divided on the amendment. when it came down to matt passage, we have to have something done. if it is messed up, it is messed up for two years. then we can continue to go down the path we are going down. >> i got to speak with a congresswoman was very outspoken about how the common denominator is election interference. the hypocrisy of having johnson and trump standing there screaming about election integrity, it does not escape your notice, these are the types of narratives that are being pushed by republicans when they are standing in the way of national security.

or creating drama where it does not exist. >> listen, it is nothing more than games. the reality is that we know that the republicans are not serious when it comes to actual policy. they spend all their time fear mongering. they want people to be emotional. if i don't vote then one of those illegals that we see on the video footage, they will take my vote. in play to what people don't know. when you are in a position of power, the last thing that you should do is say that we are going to play on those that do not understand what the laws are. we are going to lie to them and motivate them to calm and disappointed us where we have

nor policies to help them. when people are talking about ukraine, what we are going back to do next week. >> the liberty and laundry act, clothes dryers reliability act and stop unaffordable dishwasher standards. >> it is not a joke. i have to laugh to keep from crying. they did not find out from their constituents and voters that they want them to talk about liberty and laundry. i have no idea. the point is that they care more about laundry having liberty and more about the freedom of refrigerators than they care about the liberty and freedom of women in this country that are dying because of failed policies. we believe in small government unless it has to go into a

we turned to arizona and the decision about the future of reproductive rights there. the supreme court ruling that the state can enforce a 160- year-old man! that band was past when arizona was just a territory and women did not have the right to vote. kamala harris went to arizona on friday to share this message about a woman's right to make decision on her own body. >> overturning roe was the opening act , just the opening act of a larger strategy to take women's rights and freedoms. part of a full on attack state- by-state on reproductive

freedom. former president donald trump did this. >> turning to the president of reproductive freedom for all. every week we are having a conversation about a another draconian law being passed in a different state that pushes the limits to complete extinction of women having the right to healthcare because the abortion is healthcare. i want to get your reaction off the top on what just happened in arizona with a law from 1864. >> i was lucky to be in arizona yesterday. you know, it is devastating. we have talked about this. it is horrific. we are now in a territorial band , a complete and total band that you outlined. in these scenarios, women will die. and when donald trump brags

about overturning roe, it is crystal clear that it is the foundation for all of the devastation across the country in arizona this week, this is where it has come from. right? he undermined the entire basis for reproductive freedom in this country. arizona, florida, texas, the list is growing. 21 states and counting with bands and restrictions. arizona had a 15 week ban, it is still a place where some in the southwest can go. we will have a regional healthcare desert. you can see on this map it is bookmarked on different parts of the country where we have access limits. look, what vice president harris is doing, making it crystal clear that this is the america that donald trump and his cronies have brought. this was an intentional plan that by undermining roe, it

starts with total bands and then birth control, ivf, and so much more. >> let's talk about the pushback in the battle to regain that ground. colorado just finding out that it has enough signatures to be able to get a ballot amendment to the constitution. we saw that in florida. you will be there in november. this is what is going on in some states. is this where the battle lines are being drawn that you will have to have voters go to the ballot box in november to be able to get the right to an abortion enshrined in their constitutions. >> that is what is happening in arizona as well.

the ballot initiative table for the state has met the signature deadline. they are not done. they have met the signature requirements on the ballot, they are not done. they will keep pushing and fighting until the final deadline. it is important to know that the effort in arizona started well before this total ban went into place when the 15 week ban was in place. a 15 week ban is still intolerable. that means that so many arizonans cannot get access to care and could die. arizonans are ahead of the cologne -- fueled by a lot of crossover support by republicans. this is not a problem in many parts of the country. >> this is such an important conversation. i invite you to come back again. keep fighting the good fight, my friend. we have to really make sure that people understand what is

at stake. thanks for being here. my thanks to all of you for joining me today. on monday you can catch me on youtube, streaming live and recapping the election interference hush money trial. i will have many special guests including donald trump's niece, mary trump. don't go anywhere. msnbc reports with alex with is up next. up next. eart valve problem,... ...we're going for a better treatment than warfarin. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk. and has less major bleeding. over 97% of eliquis patients did not experience a stroke. don't stop taking eliquis without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking, you may bruise more easily... ...or take longer for bleeding to stop. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. it may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures.
