here's what I'm seeing too it is depressing that courtroom is depressing Speaker 1: It's
not often we say that Donald Trump is doing something clever, and maybe this isn't clever
if it backfires. But in order to circumvent the gag order that Trump has on him in which
he is not allowed to attack witnesses and court personnel and the whole thing,
even though he does it anyway, and then just gets fined 1000 bucks each time he does it. Go figure.
So he kind of is allowed to do it, but at least in theory, he's not allowed to do it. And in theory,
he's been threatened with jail if he does it again. He now regularly brings different lapdogs
to his trial in order to do the attacking for him. The lapdogs are not particularly
effective. For example, J.D. Vance was one of those lapdogs yesterday, a Republican senator,
Senator Tommy Tuberville was another one of them. So, they are just showing up and saying the things
Trump would like to be saying. I don't know how specifically Trump is coordinating it or just
kind of saying, hey, give em hell, JD. Here is JD Vance attacking the judge's daughter. What is
wrong with these people and prosecutors as well? And there's an argument to be made that this is
effectively a circumvention of the gag order. Speaker 3: Judge inside his daughter is making
millions of dollars running against Donald Trump, raising money for Donald Trump's
political opponents. The number three person of the Department of Justice,
Biden's Department of Justice left to become a local prosecutor to go after Donald Trump. And
of course, there's Alvin Bragg, a Soros funded prosecutor who promised to go after Donald
Trump. And now is doing exactly that now. Speaker 1: So these are the things Trump
would like to be saying. This stuff almost seems verbatim,
like the sort of things that Donald Trump would say he's not supposed to because of the gag order,
and this is his latest way of getting around it. The first way was just to say it anyway and start
getting dinged a thousand bucks each time. The judges now threatened him multiple times with
jail. To the extent Trump is taking it seriously now, he's getting J.D. Vance to do it. Similarly,
he brought Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville, and Tommy Tuberville says that what's being done
to Trump is just completely unfair. It's depressing. It's just terrible. None of it
should be allowed again. It just really sounds. Speaker 3: Like true respect. Here's what I'm
seeing, too. It is depressing. That courtroom is depressing. This is New York City. I kind of
our country, and we got a courtroom. That's the most depressing thing I've ever been in.
Yeah. Mental anguish is trying to be pushed on the Republican candidate
for the president. United States this year. Speaker 1: What is a courtroom supposed to
be like now? I'm the first to admit when I've had jury duty, some of these courtrooms, they're these
old buildings. Who the hell knows if they're still as best this every I mean, these the the lighting
is not exactly thought out by a lighting expert that works with architects. It is, in a sense,
depressing. That's not untrue. But since when are we. It's. It's the very same people that when you
say, hey, we're a little concerned about the state of some of our prisons, they're like, really not
good. Well, these are criminals. What do you want them to be in a five star hotel? Where are courts
also supposed to be like five star hotels? I mean, the things that they whine about and the
temperature and the lighting, and it's depressing. And Trump has to sit there and then maybe funniest
of all so far, as far as statements from lapdogs. Tommy Tuberville says he's upset that in the in
the courtroom, rather than referring to him as former President Trump, they're saying Mr. Trump,
which is completely standard in courts of law. But Tommy Tuberville doesn't like it. Trump's
not getting the deference that he deserves. Speaker 3: First of all, I'm disappointed in
the courtroom. I'm hearing Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, he is former President Trump. Give
him some respect. I mean that's what that place is in there. It's no respect. Here's
what I'm seeing too. It is depressing. That courtroom is depressing. This is New York City.
Speaker 1: All right. So this is the part we heard. And then we'll skip
forward a little bit. And then there's more. Speaker 3: Supposedly American citizens in
that courtroom that the D.A. comes in, and he acts like in his his Super Bowl. And I guess it
is to be noticed, but that's what's happening in this country. Republican candidate for pres
United States is going through mental anguish in a courtroom. That's very depressing. Very. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump is anguished. Maybe he should have considered that when engaging in
the activities that are allegedly crimes. And of course, the whole point of a courtroom is that you
are a human being judged by a jury of your peers. You are mister this or miss that or whatever. And
the big gripe from Tommy Tuberville that they're not respecting Trump. He's former President Trump.
Well, now he is there to be judged by a jury of his peers. We are all just Mr.. And I don't know,
is it misses or misses or miss. I'm not sure in courtrooms what the designation is for women,
but this actually makes perfect sense and they just whine about everything. So is this strategy
going to work. The strategy of Trump bringing the attack dogs? They treated him like a dog,
bringing the attack dogs to say the things he's not allowed to say thanks to the gag order. Will
the judge allow it? I have no idea. But to be honest, I'm getting sick of this trial.
And it's trial number one. Thanks to all the high jinks. It's going to be a long next year or two,
or however long it takes to adjudicate all this stuff. But reports from inside the courtroom
are that after Tommy Tuberville and JD Vance did their dog and pony show outside, inside,
they were very bored. JD Vance reportedly on his phone essentially the entire time,
Tuberville sitting completely motionless and seeming completely disengaged from the subject
matter. So it's all performative in this sense, and maybe the worst performance of the day. Trying
to respond to Michael Cohen's testimony was that of Eric Trump, and I want to talk about that next
