it happened again
stormy daniels squash donald trump
the breaking defendant trump news of the night is that
stormy daniels has humiliated donald trump once again
and while she was at
she humiliated his criminal defense lawyers
tonight judge one marshawn granted stormy daniels motion
to quash the subpoena from donald trump demanding a vast
range of information about the making of a documentary film
titled stormy
the judge denied the trump motions saying this request is
over broad six general discovery and is not limited to
the subject matter of this case judge marshawn had
already questioned subpoena for essentially the same material
from nbc universal
this is the producer of the documentary the ruling by
judge marshawn came at the end of the day that began with a
hearing about the district attorney's claim that donald
trump has violated a gag order that prohibits him from among
other things saying anything about jurors in the case
prosecutor christopher conway told the judge about a social
media post that we reported as breaking news on this program
last week
and the prosecutor noted what i noticed about it when we
reported here that donald trump presented it as a quote from
jesse waters at fox but in fact donald trump rewrote what
jesse waters said and added to that so that was not actually
a quotation of someone else
the district attorney khan right conroy told the judge
quote this is a very troubling post at five forty-six pm
the defendant published a post on his truth social account and
stated they are catching undercover liberal activists
lying to the judge in order to get on the trump jury that
whole thing there's in quotation marks it's
attributed to somebody named jesse waters but mister waters
said was they are catching undercover liberal activists
lying to the judge period
so it is a hybrid of something somebody else said together
with something the defendant apparently added on his own
i think the link to the jurors in this case to this
proceeding i think it's very clearly a violation of your
order of april first
donald trump's criminal defense lawyer todd blanche first
tried to defend that post by donald trump by saying that it
was a repost of what someone else wrote but judge marshawn
would have none of that
the judge were shot that was posted on april seventeenth at
five forty-six pm and it says in quotes they are catching
undercover liberal activists lying to the judge in order to
get on the trump jury closed quote and then it's attributed
to jesse waters is that in fact what mister waters said
mister blanche he said they are catching undercover liberal
activists lying to the judge
and then bought at the time i don't believe he said in
order to get on the trump jury judge were shot so your client
manipulated what was said and put it in quotes am i right
mister blanche i was i wouldn't use the word
manipulation your honor but the rest of the quote is
not part of the quote judge marshawn okay my other
question is this is not a repost out all mister blanche
no judgment sean lowe this is something that was said on tv
and your client had to type it out he had to sit there
use the quotation marks the shift key and type everything
out and then add those additional word so your
argument that these are repost and therefore they are not a
violation that does not apply to exhibit number ten is mister
blanche number town is not a repost agreed judge were shot
so what is your argument as to exhibit tent mister glass
judge the argument as to exhibit ten it's ambiguous
whether this statement violates the gag order
the gag order sets donald trump
is prohibited from
making or directing others to make public statements about
any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal
proceeding so donald trump cannot make any statement
about a juror no statement at all that gag order wording
could not be more clear donald trump's criminal defense
lawyer insulting the intelligence of the judge and
everyone else in the courtroom
when he then said quote president trump is being
careful with your honor's rules and the judge interrupted
saying you mister blanche you are losing all credibility
i have to tell you that right now you are losing all
credibility with the court
now you can spend years in the quarter
and never hear a judge say anything like that too
competent lawyers
judge moore sean said that he would rule on donald trump's
violations of the gag order at some point after today's
court session
after donald trump left the courthouse he put in writing a
lie that he said when he arrived at the courthouse today
in east spoke to the reporters gathered before he entered the
courtroom
the in writing version is more coherent than the loonie
version of donald trump said into the microphone this
morning so we will go with the written version at four
thirty-five pm today
thousands of people were turned away from the courthouse in
lower manhattan by steele's tensions and police that is an
absolute lie i have watched down there several times
traffic is free-flowing in and around the courthouse
pedestrians trav traffic is not hindered in any way
there was a large public gathering area in front of the
courthouse i saw exactly three trump supporters gathered there
yesterday earlier reports today said only one trump
supporter showed up while the eighty-five thousand trump
voters in manhattan completely ignored what was happening at
their local courthouse absolutely no one has been
turned away anywhere in lower manhattan that is actually much
easier to approach and stand outside and gaze at trump's
courthouse than it is to see the rockefeller center
christmas tree in december where the crowds and police
barrack rate say the barricades do indeed actually restrict
access
vaughn hillyard delivered today's best response to the
trump live on twitter saying
trump just claimed that the police have shut down the
streets around the courthouse for blocks and that has
protesters camping here just not true there is one
pro-trump person here
and the main street on the courthouse is open to traffic
in vaughn hillyard of course included this video in his
twitter post showing you just how easily vehicles move around
and just how how much of no one is actually there in support of
donald trump's the truth is trump supporters do not care
that donald trump is being prosecuted they've made that
very clear he has begged them to show up and they have
refused yesterday donald trump set america loving protest as
protesters should be allowed to protests at the front steps of
courthouses all over the country so
there's donald trump summoning trump supporters
in idaho
to go to the courthouse in boise and stage a big protest
for him or in north dakota or in utah or alabama are texas
were somewhere where there's a vast majority voters for donald
trump any courthouse in america florida anywhere and
no one
no one anywhere in the country
showed up at any courthouse to protest the criminal
prosecution of donald trump seventy-four million trump
voters said absolutely no we will not protest donald
trump's criminal prosecution we do not care
they aren't the only people who don't care
donald trump is the only criminal defendant i have ever
seen
who cannot roundup a single family member to sit in the
front row of the courtroom in support of criminal defendant
donald trump
his third and current wife isn't there
neither of his daughters are there none of his sons are
there
not a single personal friend has showed up as a show of
support for donald trump don't want
a serial killer and sometimes cannibal jeffrey dahmer had his
parents in the courtroom
every single day of his criminal trial
every
donald trump has less familial support
and jeffrey dahmer have
in the court
today president biden campaigned in florida where
next week governor ron desantis is abortion ban goes into
effect
for fifty years
the court ruled that there was a fundamental
constitutional right to privacy
but two years ago
that was taken away there must be real clear there's one
person or response to lose nightmare and he's
acknowledging he brags about a donald trump
trump bragged how proud he was
to get rid of roe v wade overtly took credit for
he said there has to be punishment for women exercising
reproductive freedom his words not mine
he described the dobbs decision as america are
maybe is coming from that bible he's trying to sell it
i was kind of i want to see what the hell's in it
focused there was no miracle it was a political deal to get
rid of roe v ideal political daily made with evangelical
base of the republican party to look past as more tired
they look past his moral character flaws the exchange
for his commitment to point justice supreme court would
overturn roe
i don't think he's making a deal right now with migrants
remiss to banned nationwide abortion in every single state
because he's making it
i will veto that fayette
what the democratic congress kamala and i will make roe v
wade the law of the land again
in november the florida ballot initiative will give
voters the opportunity to protect abort abortion access
in the state constitution
all over this country from ohio kansas michigan
kentucky wisconsin virginia women and men of every
background voted to record numbers to protect record
numbers to protect reproductive freedom
this november
you can add florida to that list
donald trump ripped away the right to freedom of women in
america we all must restore those rights for women in
america
when you do that
we'll teach donald trump an extreme maga republicans a
valuable lesson
mash with the movement of america
later president biden met with a local organization where
he said this
i think florida is in play nationally
this election is a basic go fashion election
getting out the votes so putting together campaign's
you know fashion way
not that we do use all the technology available but just
everything from knocking on doors to put noble road signs
to make sure that we get people to the polls on those things
and a union worker thank president biden for saving his
pension
is because of what we get
it's now is senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts
she is a candidate for reelection this year along with
president biden senator there's of the president in
florida today these he's covering obviously the abortion
issue in that state in the ban that's going to be in effect
there and the florida women have to live under what is the
sense in states like massachusetts where it appears
that rights like this are safe
but look
writes nowhere in america are safe if donald trump
retakes the white house
the republicans have made that clear the extremist wing of the
republican party owns that party
and they have made clear they will go for a nationwide
abortion ban and right now the heritage foundation is actually
laying out plans so that even if they don't have control of
the house and senate how it is that if they can get donald
trump into the white house they will be able to
effectively outlaw abortion all across this country
and next week we're going to see in florida this extreme
abortion ban go into effect and the president said it right
there is exactly one person who is ultimately responsible for
that and it is donald trump who has bragged about the
extreme the supreme court he put in place to remove roe
versus wade and now we're just watching chapter after chapter
after chapter of her how the extremists are coming for
abortion rights not just in red states but in red states
blue states purple states every state
do the democrats believe that this changes of
possibilities in florida beyond just that ballot measure
get a look i think it's clear that democrats can win
florida abortion will be on the ballot it's going to be on
the ballot in all fifty states and florida is going to see it
front and center with a specific abortion ballot
initiative
this is about as clear as it gets in the comparison donald
trump is the guy who put in place the extremists supreme
court specifically for the purpose of overturning roe
versus wade and you heard it from joe biden himself give
him a chance give the democrats controlled the house
the senate the white house and we will make roe versus wade
law of the land again you can't ask for a difference
bigger than that
a man said to joe biden in florida today the only reason
i have a pension is because of you we got cheers for that
and it's one of those items that most voters don't even
know about
yeah you know this one is about some legislation that we
got through shortly after joe biden got into office
to be able to protect people's pensions that had been hollowed
out back to ring the two thousand eight crisis and i
want to and that he actually did another thing for pensions
today or for retirement funds
and that is what got a lot of attention won't get big
headlines but the fiduciary rule has gone into place
the labor department julie su who is the acting secretary of
labor
announced a rule that says basically your investment
advisor
has to work in your best interests not take money from
insurance companies and others in order to put you into
financial products that are not in your best interest
that's something that over time may never get a headline
but it's going to mean that a whole lot of people in this
country when they hit their retirement years are a lot
safer because of joe biden and his administration
senator i have been saying for years especially in years
past that now seen in the distant our distant history
where it didn't seem to many voters to make that much
difference who they voted for in a presidential election
that there was always the supreme court there's always
the supreme court there's always going to be a difference
between george w bush's choice for the supreme court and al
gore's choice for the supreme court and we've seen the
george w bush's choice wrote the opinion overturning roe
versus wade has that finally penetrated on the democratic
side of the electorate
oh i think so i think people have come to understand
that so much of what we counted on for a very long time
and that was
the security the independence of our courts that our courts
would not be political and that our courts were fundamentally
about protecting our rights
not about halloween out those rights or in the case of roe
versus wade actually taking them away
and the republicans for a long time have been on the attack
they understand the importance of extreme must courts
and they have pushed in that direction they built the
federalist society around that whole idea and i got to say
democrats just didn't tumble to a nearly as early
but we may wake up late but we are fully awake now
and we understand what's on the ballot come november twenty
twenty-four
we need joe biden in the white house because of the good
things he's going to do but we also need in there
because we simply cannot count on united states supreme court
to protect us as we once cooked as we once did
we have to have joe biden the white house democrats and the
republicans in the in the house and in the senate
so that we can actually deliver on roe versus wade on voting
rights on the right to join a union on protecting people with
gun safety on climate on so many things that touch each of
us individually every day
this election in november is is absolutely crucial and we're
awake and ready to fight for it
senator elizabeth warren running for reelection in
massachusetts thank you very much for joining us tonight
thank you
