this is donald trump's playbook. and what is amazing is that he has turned, not only large swats of the publican party, but essentially the house of representatives and speaker, mike johnson is an example of that. has now become sort of a subsidiary of the donald trump campaign, and i think that is what this visual reinforces today. remember, mike johnson is an accidental speaker. perhaps the weakest speaker of our lifetime. if not of modern times, period. he would not be in the office if donald trump had not unrooted him, and he is there to try to save his job. so, trump is not only the republican nominee, tamale's point, but he is essentially acting as the de facto speaker of the united states right now, and controlling what does and doesn't come up for a vote on the floor of the house of representatives. >> molly, do you think johnson going down there to kiss trump's ring was enough? because the person inside congress, who is targeting him, who has him on the thin ice is his fellow republican, marjorie taylor gree

trump is not in jail. he will walk in, give a statement, something before he talks and goes in the courtroom and he will go into a black hole for a couple hours and then he will come out. before any of the reports have come out, of what actually happened at the trial trump will spin it into whatever political campaign thing he wants to spin. sit right there on the courthouse steps and lie, lie about what happened. lie about stormy daniels, lie about michael cohen, lie about the judge, lie about the judge's family and prosecutors and nothing is going to happen to him. it will happen to all of us for six weeks. in terms of the law here, it is pretty simple. you don't have to do much. as david explains, we already know for the most part, for the most part, that he had sex with stormy daniels. we already know that he lied about it. we already know he paid her money to make sure she kept quiet about it. we already pretty much know he took the money illegally from his campaign funds without telling anybody. all

news, the trump media stock was down today. after they floated this idea of starting a streaming service which to a non-investor may sound compelling. we know donald trump loves tv but watching a streaming service is extremely hard and costs billions of dollars. disney is still trying to figure it out and they have marvel and star wars but what is most more noteworthy is that 7 million shares of this stock traded. that is a very small number. why does it matter? it signals that institutional investors, pension funds, insurance companies, wall street money managers are not buying this stock. they have a responsibility, a fiduciary responsibility to make sound investments and this company, the underlying business is not sound. as we reported yes. donald trump has 80 million shares and he's going to get more. free money for him essentially on paper but eventually one allowed to sell those shares he needs to find big purchasers. and with only 7 million trading in the market on a day like this? that is not a good sign. it is easier

agree with donald trump taking the stand. if i'm a prosecutor on the case, i'm praying and wishing that he does. because there are so many public statements, and as michael cohen just said, donald trump's ability to tell the truth is so well documented that that cross-examination could last as long as voidere. i don't think the chances of donald trump taking the stand are very high. if i'm a prosecutor in this case, i am hoping and praying he does so that i can show the world exactly his character for truthfulness and impeach everything he just said. >> kristy, one other aspect of this that i think is going to be fascinating as you have the jury selection process unfolding, donald trump, as we noted on "the weekend" for a long time now, has been using this opportunity, these court scenarios and now this upcoming trial as his platform. no different than a campaign stop. in many respects. he was put up on truth social regarding this trial. just yesterday he said quote there is no way i can be given a fair biden trial on monday
