trump also filed motions. she scheduled hearings on the motions by the co-defendants but not trump's motions. there have been numerous opportunities like this one where she has sort of let time lapse that could otherwise be used to move forward trump's case. i think that's unmistakable. regarding her handling of some of the issues here, i mean, her jury instruction question posed to the parties was a head scratcher. she certainly made a number of bizarre moves, and you know, some of them are just real head scratchers because, for example, if she was really trying to tank things for trump or whatever a lot of people believe, tipping her hand in those jury instructions maybe wouldn't be the most savvy way to do it. on the other hand, there's no question she's favorably inclined towards trump's views. i do agree with ken that the anger and frustration from smith's team is becoming more and more evident in the filings, which is dangerous because obviously she has a lot of power in her hands and the standard to get

but knowing donald trump, covering donald trump, and the way he has approached all of these cases, i think it would be very hard to keep him off the stand if he decides that he wants to testify, and i suspect after listening to the testimony against him through the prosecution's presentation, he'll be chomping at the bit to get up there and tell his side of the story, chris. >> jim, do you agree with that? what do you think the chances are he takes the stand, and whatever the decision is, do you think it will be one based on legal facts or will it be more about political considerations and ego? >> no, this is all about political considerations and ego, chris, because he's looking at these same numbers and have two-thirds of independent voters saying that they're going to look at this, and if he's convicted, judge him harshly and perhaps not vote for him. that's a 5 alarm fire in trump world, and so, you know, they've been campaigning from the courthouse for the last couple of months. it's now even more important right now, chris, because voters are starting to pay attention. these sw

the president was trump. finally the other thing graham told me was that he remains hopeful that donald trump, if he returns to the white house, would sign a federal abortion restriction if a republican congress sent it to him. remember, nowhere in any of trump's statements in the last 48 hours has he ruled out signing a federal abortion ban. so that contrast remains clear. biden said he would veto any such bill and said he would try to pass a federal, a bill that would codify the protections of roe v. wade. >> thank you. appreciate it. as we were talking, we got this statement in from president biden when it came to the decision out of arizona and i want to read it. really seizing on this moment that's happening and recognizing it seems the opportunity democrats have in an election year. he says millions of arizonans will soon live under a more extreme and dangerous abortion ban which fails to protect women even when their health is at risk or in tragic cases of rape or incest. this cruel ban was first enact
