1:50
Stein. So catty we met. It's Friday. we
1:52
have a lot to get to this morning,
1:54
but we should just note what we played
1:56
at the top their that was President Biden.
2:00
There are days and weeks of unrest,
2:02
a college campuses finally making some public
2:04
comments that even more than a week
2:06
since he addressed thumbs ah, he had
2:08
asked his aides the night before to
2:10
start prepping some remarks, or even Casey
2:12
did need to speak about them ahead
2:14
of his major speech this next week
2:16
about anti semitism. And then when the
2:18
White House in the Nation woke up
2:20
yesterday morning to the scenes of unrest
2:22
that you see lights they felt they
2:24
couldn't wait any longer. And we heard
2:26
from present. Yeah. Festival Pop
2:28
Tarts a breakfast that's a very bad idea.
2:30
We've all been told. Not to my shirt
2:32
break. The signs are hopeful. Movie on from
2:34
that for to O'hara attack. oh I haven't
2:36
tested parts are in a while but they
2:39
are delicious Well now and apparently is this
2:41
is akin to the movies akin to a
2:43
Sputnik Tests Space Race the race to create
2:45
the pop tarts it's must be hilarious. I
2:48
can't wait to hear which area so we
2:50
could man a man on the moon or
2:52
we could create. A pop tart more putting
2:54
those in the same breath. But anyway, I am
2:56
going to be on from that. We made it
2:59
into Friday. the White House is just hoping they
3:01
gonna make it to graduation. That seems to be
3:03
the kind of message from the right has right
3:05
like get these they want to get these kids
3:07
have they want to get these his home from
3:10
the summer they felt they had to say something.
3:12
and the prayer in lists two conflicting bases here
3:14
that the President has to recharge it as the
3:16
base. Two other kids in universities who are very
3:19
focused on Gaza who are upset about the government's
3:21
policies, who don't like the idea that their tax.
3:23
Dollars are being used to fund those weapons
3:25
that a be used against Palestinians bothers me.
3:27
Equally important base to the present not swing
3:29
voters who may be looking at the kinds
3:32
of seems that they soaring Columbia Us maybe
3:34
look at Ten Seasons a sword you Cla
3:36
and the president had to try to reach
3:38
out to both of those that I thought
3:40
it was really interesting use it sounded to
3:42
me like he was a much. More focused
3:44
on the swing voters. This is the
3:46
kind of speech I think that administrations in
3:48
universities will have been happy to hear because
3:51
he was saying what they're what the university's
3:53
themselves have been say that this kind of
3:55
the violence that's unlawful. Yes, peaceful protests, but
3:57
it's kind of. Disruption. That.
4:00
work. Okay, we're going to begin
4:02
this hour though with the latest
4:04
developments surrounding Donald Trump's criminal hush
4:06
money trial. Court will resume this
4:09
morning after Keith Davidson, the former
4:11
lawyer for Stormy Daniels and Karen
4:13
McDougall completed his testimony yesterday. NBC
4:15
News senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett
4:18
has the big takeaways from his
4:20
day on the stand. Former
4:23
President Trump arriving at court watching
4:25
his defense team go on offense,
4:28
casting a key prosecution witness as
4:30
out to extort him for money.
4:32
The defense hoping to discredit Keith
4:34
Davidson, the lawyer who negotiated payoffs
4:36
for Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall,
4:39
both threatened to go public with stories of
4:41
sex with Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016
4:43
election. Mr. Trump
4:45
has denied the allegations of both women
4:47
and denied any advanced knowledge of the
4:49
payoffs. His defense team suggesting Davidson had
4:51
a habit of shaking down celebrities like
4:54
Charlie Sheen for money. Davidson
4:56
saying he never extorted anyone, testifying
4:59
at length about his negotiations with
5:01
Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump's former attorney,
5:03
but admitting he never met nor
5:06
spoke to the former president. Instead,
5:09
he dealt exclusively with Cohen, who he
5:11
painted as desperate and despondent that then-president-elect
5:13
Trump would not make him attorney general
5:16
or White House chief of staff, describing
5:18
a phone call where Cohen lamented, I
5:20
can't believe I'm not going to Washington.
5:23
Cohen saying he'd saved Trump so many
5:25
times, you don't even know. Davidson
5:27
testifying about Cohen, I thought he was
5:30
going to kill himself. A
5:32
helpful point for the defense as it tries
5:34
to cast Cohen as having an ax to
5:36
grind against Mr. Trump. The
5:38
former president is accused of illegally
5:40
doctoring his internal records to disguise
5:43
his repayments to Cohen, making Cohen's
5:45
testimony critical for prosecutors, who are
5:47
now seeking additional fines against Mr.
5:50
Trump, saying he violated a gag
5:52
order again by calling his former
5:54
fixer a liar. While The defense
5:57
argues the former president should be allowed to
5:59
defend himself. I didn't Hollins. Frequent
6:01
Criticism: Some. Unconstitutionally
6:04
gagged. He gag raison not even
6:06
supposed to be I would say
6:08
talk to do because he gags
6:11
me. We. Can
6:13
fact check that that as not true.
6:15
That was Embassies larger reporting and let's
6:17
now bringing former litigator an Msnbc Lou
6:20
Corresponded, Lisa Ruben Least even find this
6:22
trial so very close. Delicious.was! your broad
6:24
take away from what we've heard yesterday
6:26
from Daves? Want to see. I
6:29
think we're Davidson. We were swimming
6:31
in a place that nobody really
6:33
wanted to be, like just drowning
6:35
in the muck. But when you
6:37
take away the Hulk Hogan and
6:39
Lindsay Lohan and all the other
6:41
people with him, keeps Davidson Deaths
6:43
at And Space Songs and keeps.
6:45
Davison is a person who testified
6:47
about his transactions with Michael Cohen
6:49
and how desperate Michael Cohen was
6:51
to get these deals done and
6:53
the ultimate take away that he
6:56
had, even though she never dealt
6:58
with Donald Trump directly. With that,
7:00
Donald Trump was the ultimate source of
7:02
the funding. In other words, while he
7:04
understood that Cohen at some point put
7:06
up the money himself for the Stormy
7:09
Daniel steal, it was always his understanding
7:11
that Trump was going to be the
7:13
ultimate source and the pay. Or so
7:15
Cohen looms large. Here is obviously such
7:18
a key players at this. Have we
7:20
gotten a better sense as to. When
7:23
we might sheer from when he'll be called to
7:25
the sand as it when we know. Said.
7:27
That Trump's worth defense. Really gonna try to
7:29
make the issue of his credibility. Are you
7:31
seen enough efforts here from the prosecution to
7:34
bolster that's a to sort of counteract was
7:36
coming. I think we see
7:38
a lot of it in a couple
7:40
of, with one is surrounding the case
7:42
with other sources of evidence whether they
7:44
be audio recordings for example, we heard
7:46
a couple yesterday, or all sorts of
7:48
paper, text messages, emails, and then of
7:50
course there's the effort to surround coincide
7:52
with other people that she dealt with
7:54
directly so that they can corroborate his
7:56
story, marry record. Our colleague made a
7:58
really good point yesterday. they are trying
8:00
to in newer the jury to the
8:02
fact that Call was not a particularly
8:04
well liked or admired person even in
8:07
Trump world so that by the time
8:09
they encounter him, they are sort of
8:11
immune to the fact that she's not
8:13
very likeable and yet are willing to
8:15
share a historic because it's already been
8:17
bolstered by so many of the people
8:19
they've heard from whether B D, The
8:21
Packers or Keys Davidson or maybe some
8:23
the witnesses we've yet to hear from,
8:25
including potentially Hope Hicks that's A that's
8:27
yesterday, What? What's up next? Or still
8:29
hearing from. A man named Doug doubt
8:31
she is a forensic specialists in
8:34
the Da's office and his role
8:36
here is to authenticate lots of
8:38
stuff taken off of Collins folks.
8:40
how did it debt from Cohen's
8:42
phone into the Da's hand? One
8:44
of the things I thought was
8:46
really interesting yesterday was the insinuation
8:48
by Trump's team that the data
8:50
uncommon phone could have been manipulated
8:53
or deleted before it was in
8:55
the Da's hands. That is a
8:57
deep state conspiracies waiting to explode
8:59
over the. Weekend and perhaps Engineer
9:01
Jumps Not for the audience of
9:03
the jurors in this case, but
9:06
for the larger populace of jurors
9:08
aka voters who might be interested
9:10
in hearing something that dovetails with
9:12
Trump's frequent were frames of this
9:14
as rigged. This is a witch
9:17
hunt they've always been out to
9:19
get me. this is a biden.
9:21
trial Rights cheering that the Sci,
9:23
for example, could have insufficiently protected
9:26
the state a worse even manipulated
9:28
it themselves. That's a narrative. That
9:30
goes straight into that see backward. City
9:32
Roberts And let's talk about these to audiences. You're
9:34
just there's the twelve jurors in the Ultimate, but
9:37
a much broader the electorate or and Trump and
9:39
his team to play for them as well. but
9:41
my own. Your. even the even
9:43
his friends acknowledge it that a problem
9:45
with us an unsavory character i am
9:48
dozens of other reporters are in the
9:50
choices teacher pages to get threatening phone
9:52
calls from cohen we know who he
9:54
was on but this is also visited
9:56
yesterday in particular such a tawdry display
9:58
of the unseemliness of world. How
10:00
do you think that's playing to that
10:02
large audience, those broad voters, particularly those
10:04
who might still be trying to decide
10:07
where to vote in November? You
10:09
know, it's
10:11
a highly unattractive world and
10:13
as you said, seemingly and
10:16
kind of salacious
10:18
and awful. I
10:20
think most people watching this might
10:24
take issue with the question of
10:26
whether or not this lawyer is
10:28
an extortionist. That doesn't get to
10:30
the question of the
10:32
trial though, the falsification
10:35
of business records as
10:37
a felony. And
10:39
so I'm not quite sure which way
10:41
it cuts. I'm curious to ask
10:44
Lisa. Lisa,
10:46
how do you think it played
10:48
with, at least
10:50
inside the courtroom and
10:52
maybe outside of the
10:55
courtroom, because this is
10:57
really like Todrie on
10:59
steroids, the whole story that
11:01
we heard yesterday. It's absolutely
11:03
Todrie on steroids. And to your
11:05
point about whether Davidson engaged
11:08
in something akin to what
11:10
he'll call extraction, if not
11:12
extortion, to the extent
11:15
that jurors believe that Trump lowered
11:17
himself into this world as
11:19
opposed to the fact that he might
11:21
have been floating well above it, that's
11:24
really the question that the DA has
11:26
to answer. They have to show these
11:28
people not only that this seamy underbelly
11:30
of American gossip existed, but that Trump
11:32
was willing to dive into it with those folks.
11:36
Yeah, Lisa, Sam Stein here. I guess I'm caught
11:38
up on the same issue, which is if you
11:40
can't establish that people
11:42
like Keith Davidson were actually in direct communication with
11:44
Trump, in fact, it was
11:46
only established that he was talking to Michael Cohen. Isn't
11:49
that a problem? Right? I mean, don't you need to
11:51
say, yes, Trump knew of this stuff and directed it.
11:53
Otherwise, what are you hanging this on? Well,
11:55
you're right. You have to show that Trump knew about
11:57
this stuff and directed it, which is where Cohen comes
11:59
in. but also where people
12:01
perhaps connected to the
12:04
campaign come in. Remember, David Pecker,
12:06
for example, spoke extensively with Trump,
12:08
albeit about Karen McDougall. What
12:10
we might need to see now is how
12:12
Trump interacted with other people in his orbit,
12:14
even if it's after the Faxfam, after the
12:16
payments were made, I mean, in
12:19
acknowledging that this stuff actually happened. And
12:21
that's where I'm particularly eager to hear
12:23
from Hope Hicks. Hope Hicks has previously
12:25
testified to the House Judiciary Committee that
12:28
during the campaign itself, she was not
12:30
aware of hush money payments
12:32
and everything she knew about Stormy Daniels and
12:34
Karen McDougall she learned from the press. On
12:37
the other hand, she refused to testify about
12:39
any knowledge or involvement she had in these
12:41
issues once she got to the White House.
12:43
We're now at a point five years later
12:46
where executive privilege has been litigated extensively. Hope
12:48
Hicks probably cannot rely on executive privilege to
12:50
get her out of talking about those things
12:52
now. So what I want to know is
12:54
how did Hope Hicks go from the campaign
12:57
to a point in time where David Pecker
12:59
says he talked to her and Sarah Sanders
13:01
about whether it was worth extending Karen
13:03
McDougall's exclusivity arrangement with the employer, for
13:06
example. That means that Hope Hicks at
13:08
some point had an understanding that David
13:10
Pecker did pay Karen McDougall. What she
13:12
knew about McDougall and Stormy Daniels during
13:14
that period of time in Trump's employ,
13:17
what she might have even discussed with
13:19
Trump himself, I'm really eager to hear
13:21
in the days to come. Lisa,
13:23
let's close with an update on the
13:26
gag order Trump saying yesterday that it's
13:28
preventing him to testifying. Please fact check
13:30
that. But also just what we heard in
13:32
that hearing and how do you think this play is out going
13:34
forward? I think the strongest point
13:36
for Trump's folks was pointing to recent
13:38
tweets by Michael Cohen because that gets
13:40
them the closest to their defense of
13:42
Trump is really just trying to defend
13:44
himself. On the other hand, Trump's
13:46
statement about the jury coming from a pool of
13:49
95% Democrats. The
13:51
jury had already been seated when he
13:53
made that comment. Juan Rashan didn't seem
13:55
particularly friendly to the arguments that the
13:57
defense was making. out
14:00
the look what you made him do
14:02
defense, I'll call it. You know, Biden's
14:04
talking about stormy weather. Michael Cohen's on
14:06
Twitter. Even look at the press behind
14:08
us. They're talking about every whisper that
14:10
we make to our client
14:12
and candidate. Marcheng was having none of
14:15
that. And he basically said, look, your
14:17
client is the criminal defendant here. None
14:20
of those folks are subject to my gag
14:22
order right now, nor could some of them
14:24
be. I'm interested in talking about your client,
14:26
his behavior and his choices. Reporter is
14:28
also reporting when Donald Trump seems to
14:30
fall asleep. Trump took to social media
14:32
yesterday to rebut that thing. He was
14:34
simply resting his beautiful blue eyes. So
14:36
we'll, we'll leave it there. MSNBC legal
14:38
correspondent Lisa Rubin invaluable as always. Thank
14:40
you, Lisa. And coming up here on
14:42
morning, Joe, in just one minute, order
14:44
has been restored on the campus of
14:47
UCLA after police arrested more than 200
14:49
protesters there. We'll bring
14:51
you the latest in the fallout.
14:54
Plus, president Biden breaks the silence
14:56
on those nationwide demonstrations. We'll
14:58
play for you his new remarks and
15:01
also ahead. We'll talk to
15:03
retired Navy Admiral James to read
15:05
us about where things stand in
15:07
the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and
15:09
Hamas, as well as
15:12
the new worries about China's involvement
15:14
in the war in Ukraine. Morning

and every day Planned Parenthood is committed
15:54
to ensuring that everyone has the information
15:56
and resources they need to make their own
15:58
decisions about their bodies. including abortion
16:00
care. Lawmakers who oppose abortion
16:02
are attacking Planned Parenthood, which means affordable,
16:04
high-quality basic health care for more than
16:07
2 million people is at stake. The
16:09
right to control our bodies and get
16:11
the health care we need has been
16:13
stolen from us. And now, politicians in
16:15
nearly every state have introduced bills that
16:17
would block people from getting the sexual
16:20
and reproductive care they need. Planned
16:22
Parenthood believes everyone deserves health care. It's
16:24
a human right. That's why they
16:27
fight every day to push for common-sense policies
16:29
that protect our right to control our own
16:31
bodies and against policies that interfere
16:34
with decisions between patients and their doctor.
16:37
Planned Parenthood needs your support now more
16:39
than ever. With supporters like
16:41
you, we can reclaim our rights and
16:43
protect and expand access to abortion care.

16:54
The campus of UCLA remains orderly this
16:56
morning following the chaos that we saw
16:58
play out yesterday morning. Police
17:00
arrested more than 200 protesters from an
17:03
encampment. Officers in
17:05
riot gear swarmed the university early
17:07
yesterday morning. They confronted protesters and
17:09
dismantled the camp. The
17:12
clash lasted several hours. Police had to
17:14
launch flares to try to disperse the
17:16
large crowd. According to
17:18
the chancellor of UCLA, about 300 people
17:20
did, though, leave voluntarily. The
17:22
university called the police earlier in
17:25
the week after the protest
17:27
turned violent. Fights erupted between
17:29
pro-Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli supporters.
17:31
UCLA then declared the encampment
17:33
illegal. The chancellor explained
17:35
the school's decision in a statement
17:38
yesterday, writing, quote, while many of
17:40
the protesters at the encampment remained
17:42
peaceful, ultimately, the site became a
17:44
focal point for serious violence, as
17:46
well as a huge disruption to
17:48
our campus. Meanwhile, President
17:50
Biden, as we said earlier, has
17:52
broken his silence on the unrest
17:54
at college campuses. Yesterday, in an
17:56
unscheduled address delivered from the White
17:58
House, the president can condemned the
18:01
violence and anti-Semitism. Violent
18:04
protest is not protected. Peaceful
18:07
protest is. It's against
18:09
the law when violence occurs. Destroying
18:11
property is not a peaceful protest.
18:14
It's against the law. Vandalism,
18:17
trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down
18:19
campuses, forcing the cancellation of
18:21
classes and graduations. None of
18:23
this is a peaceful protest.
18:26
Threatening people, intimidating people,
18:29
instilling fear in people is not
18:31
peaceful protest. It's against the law.
18:34
Dissent is essential to democracy, but
18:36
dissent must never lead to disorder or
18:38
to deny the rights of others so
18:40
students can finish the semester and their
18:43
college education. Look,
18:45
it's basically a matter of fairness. It's
18:47
a matter of what's right. There's
18:49
the right to protest, but not
18:51
the right to cause chaos. Let's
18:54
be clear about this as well. There
18:57
should be no place on any campus, no
19:00
place in America for anti-Semitism
19:03
or threats of violence against Jewish students. There
19:06
is no place for hate speech or
19:08
violence of any kind, whether
19:10
it's anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or
19:13
discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian
19:15
Americans. It's simply wrong.
19:17
There's no place for racism in America.
19:20
It's all wrong. It's un-American. And
19:23
then while answering reporter questions, the president
19:26
rejected the idea of deploying the National
19:28
Guard to quell this unrest. He
19:30
also said he will not change his
19:32
policies on the Middle East. Let's bring
19:34
in former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, retired
19:37
four-star Navy Admiral James Travidas. He is
19:39
Chief International Analyst for Embassy News. And
19:41
we will remind you all that the
19:43
Admiral also spent five years as the
19:45
Dean of the Fletcher School of Law
19:47
and Diplomacy at Tufts University. It's kind
19:49
of with that hat on that
19:51
we wanna speak to you this morning, Admiral. When
19:54
you look at how the president responded, and
19:56
when you look at how police are reacting,
19:58
do you think the appropriate measures are... now
20:00
being taken on campuses or
20:02
are administrations going too far in bringing
20:04
outside law enforcement onto
20:06
campuses? Where do you stand on it? I
20:08
stand in favor of what you just
20:11
heard from the president of the United
20:13
States. Key word here, Fletcher School of
20:15
Law and Diplomacy. We are a nation
20:17
of laws and a peaceful
20:19
protest is fine. Look, I spent much
20:21
of my life in
20:24
uniform defending the rights of
20:26
people to protest, of free speech,
20:29
of all of our values. But
20:32
free speech is different than hate
20:34
speech and peaceful protest
20:36
is different than criminal behavior.
20:38
So I applaud the administrations
20:40
that I think are doing
20:43
about as well as you
20:45
can in this difficult circumstance
20:47
because you're trying to find
20:49
a balance here. But when
20:51
the protests bleed over into
20:53
overt criminal behavior, you have
20:56
to react, take them off
20:58
campus, arrest them. And I would argue,
21:00
and I say this as a former
21:02
dean, a simple
21:04
arrest and release, a catch and
21:07
release program if you will, is
21:09
not a good idea. These students, if
21:12
they are students, by the way many
21:14
are not students, they
21:16
need to receive some kind of
21:18
sanction from that institution, a suspension,
21:21
or in extreme cases an expulsion.
21:23
So Jen, let's talk about the politics of this.
21:26
We know President Biden, reflexively pro-Israel has been throughout
21:29
and he said again he's not going to change
21:31
his policies, but this is a
21:33
tough moment. We know that the
21:35
people who are protesting here are young voters, Biden's
21:37
having trouble with them. A lot of them are
21:39
apparently students and voters of color, Biden is having
21:42
trouble with them. But yet at
21:44
the same time, these scenes of unrest, as we
21:46
mentioned at the top of the show, risk turning
21:48
off sort of independence, moderates. So give us your
21:50
analysis, give us your evaluation as to what he
21:52
said yesterday, was it enough, and what
21:54
does he also need to say Tuesday? And what
21:56
they're building is a pretty major speech on this
21:58
moment. I think this is
22:00
probably a placeholder to get to Tuesday. And
22:02
I think that when you, Joe Biden
22:05
will win reelection by
22:07
gaining a diverse
22:09
group of supporters that are gonna have very
22:11
different views. So you're gonna have young people
22:13
of color and you're gonna have older white
22:15
people and that's like how he's gonna win.
22:18
So he can't, when you're trying to put together
22:20
that kind of coalition, I don't think you can
22:22
get tripped up about thinking, what am I saying
22:24
to this audience? What am I saying to that
22:26
audience and trying to differentiate that way? And that's
22:29
when you get lost and you're not leading. That
22:32
is a recipe to not lead and this is
22:34
a moment to lead. And I think, so what
22:36
he did yesterday, come down on the side of
22:38
law and order, I thought
22:40
that was well stated, but
22:43
I think it's a placeholder to get
22:45
to Tuesday where
22:47
he can get into the bigger issues
22:50
about what's actually happening in the conflict.
22:52
It's billed as a speech on anti-Semitism.
22:55
And I think, he talked about fairness, question
22:57
of fairness, last few days, we've heard a
22:59
lot about fairness and decency from him. And
23:01
I think that's where he's going and that
23:03
I think the Tuesday speech, the
23:06
country needs to, they need him
23:08
to tell us what to think of all
23:10
of this. Because it is, people do have a
23:12
lot of feelings about it
23:15
and are concerned about the protests and
23:17
if it turns into violence. And I
23:19
think we really do need to hear
23:21
him set the table for the whole
23:23
country, not different voting populations, about
23:26
what's happening here, what we're at the US to stand
23:28
on it. Yeah, it's becoming a significant moment this
23:31
Tuesday speech, Gene Robinson. And let's
23:33
remember for any president, scenes of chaos,
23:35
scenes that the country's out of control
23:37
is deeply damaging for incumbent running for
23:39
reelection. Let's flashback just four years ago,
23:41
2020, when Donald Trump's
23:43
running for reelection, obviously there's the pandemic, but
23:45
we also had scenes of tumult with the
23:47
protests surrounding George Floyd's murder. Most of that,
23:49
of course, let's remind viewers, very
23:51
peaceful, but there were some exceptions and
23:53
we saw polling that hurt Trump. He
23:56
was blamed for fostering that sense of
23:58
unrest. the tripwire
24:00
here for Biden too. Yeah,
24:02
I mean, it is very
24:04
perilous. And you can go
24:06
way further back than that. You can go all the way
24:09
back to 1968. And
24:11
I think history
24:13
records that the days of
24:15
rage at the
24:18
Democratic Convention in
24:20
Chicago that year contributed
24:23
to Richard Nixon's victory,
24:26
to the Republican victory in
24:28
that presidential election. And
24:30
people were definitely turned off by
24:32
what they saw. At
24:35
the same time, it also, I think
24:37
the protest did sort of move
24:39
the needle further on the Vietnam
24:41
War. So in that sense, they
24:43
could say they kind of succeeded.
24:46
I have a question for Admiral Stravritus though.
24:48
If you'd put your Dean hat back
24:51
on for a second, Admiral. I
24:54
don't know the current president of Columbia. I
24:57
knew her predecessor, Lee
24:59
Bollinger very well, and
25:01
was talking to him once. And he was
25:04
complaining that there was somebody he really wanted
25:06
to hire in the political
25:08
science department or somewhere, somebody who
25:10
was really terrific. And he just
25:12
couldn't get the faculty to
25:15
say yes. And I asked
25:17
him, you're the president. Why don't
25:20
you just tell him to hire
25:22
the guy? And he just smiled
25:24
and laughed and said, oh,
25:26
you're so cute. Then
25:28
you'd think that. You have no idea how
25:30
this works. And so
25:33
the faculty is a major
25:35
constituency on these university campuses.
25:38
And they have said, the
25:40
thing they're concerned about is
25:44
protecting the students, protecting the right
25:46
of free speech, free and
25:48
open debate. And they've
25:51
been kind of married, especially the
25:53
Columbia faculty. Talk about that
25:55
as a consideration, that
25:58
all these administrators. have
26:00
to take into account. Great
26:02
conversation between you and your friend,
26:04
the president. You know,
26:06
the last sentence of Hemingway's, the
26:08
sun also rises is, isn't it
26:11
pretty to think so?
26:13
And that's a pretty good way to think
26:15
about it. I'll give
26:17
you a one word answer that the president could also
26:19
have used. He could have said tenure.
26:22
These are tenured faculty members. They
26:24
enjoy extraordinary privilege in that regard.
26:27
There's a long conversation about why
26:29
that is. There are pros and
26:31
cons to it. But it's a
26:34
very protected workforce. So that's kind
26:36
of the answer there. In terms
26:38
of today's events, many
26:40
of these faculty come out of that
26:43
68 generation, the older
26:45
tenured one. So that becomes a
26:48
force in this. And
26:50
then finally, I would just say to
26:52
everybody as we look at these protests,
26:54
they flash large on the screens. Got
26:57
it. But to my eye, there's
26:59
about a hundred campuses or so
27:01
that are affected right now. Gene,
27:04
you may know there are 4,000 institutions
27:07
in the United States that grant
27:09
a bachelor's degree. We're
27:12
not seeing protests, therefore, on 3,900 of them.
27:15
I think we're going to be okay and
27:18
get through this moment. We're going to require
27:20
some balance, some sensibility and approach. And ultimately,
27:22
we can't allow this behavior
27:25
by students or by faculty.
27:28
Yeah. And actually, I did have a conversation
27:30
with somebody in the Columbia administration to Gene's
27:32
point who said that there are perhaps about
27:34
300 faculty who have been
27:36
supporting the protesters over the administration. But
27:39
Columbia has a faculty of about 7,000.
27:42
And that the vast majority of the Columbia
27:45
faculty are actually in support of President Shafik
27:47
and the administration, the actions that they're taking.
27:49
I think so far, at least the president
27:51
does have faculty on board
27:53
with her, which, of course, is a big help.
27:55
And let me switch the conversation and turn it
27:57
a little bit to the kind of root of
27:59
the of the actual problem that we're seeing in the
28:01
Middle East that's causing all of this. We're
28:04
hearing reports that the latest round of
28:06
hostage negotiations that could lead to a
28:08
ceasefire is going a little better. Hamas
28:10
reportedly viewing this with some kind of
28:13
positive light is what we're being told.
28:15
Is that
28:17
what you're reading? What's your understanding of where we
28:19
are on that? It looked like it all just
28:21
was, you know, stop, start, stop, start. We should
28:23
put the administration in a difficult position because they
28:25
keep doing this shuttle diplomacy and then they come
28:27
back with nothing. Do you think we are at
28:29
a moment where we could be looking for some
28:32
sort of a deal over hostages in the ceasefire?
28:34
Well, as we say in that part of the word,
28:36
oh, hello, let's hope so.
28:38
I think it's a better
28:40
than even chance at the moment, which
28:42
is higher rods than I would have
28:44
given three weeks ago
28:46
or a month ago. Key
28:48
indicator Hamas is sending a
28:50
delegation, physical presence to Cairo.
28:52
I am hearing
28:55
that the conversations are progressing and
28:57
here I give credit to the
28:59
Biden administration who've done a good
29:01
job of putting pressure on
29:03
Israel, rightfully so, to get
29:05
to some kind of yes
29:08
and through the Arab
29:10
world, through the leadership and the
29:12
money side of the Arab world,
29:14
putting pressure on Hamas. So these
29:17
are two unwilling parties being somewhat
29:19
forced toward a compromised
29:21
position. But, Caddy, I think we're
29:23
probably better than even, that's wonderful.
29:25
Can I tell you one other
29:27
thing that's going well? As
29:30
we look at a small
29:32
percentage of the youth of the
29:35
United States who are protesting on
29:37
campuses, another group of American youth,
29:39
US military, are off guys, a
29:41
building a pier that's going to
29:44
open in the next few days
29:46
a floating pier, a maritime miracle
29:48
that's going to move 150 to 200 truckloads of
29:56
humanitarian aid. That's a pretty
29:58
good accomplishment. spark
30:00
of good news there. Let's hope it increases
30:02
with a ceasefire in the next few days.
30:04
But looming over all of this, the potential
30:07
Israeli invasion of Rafa, which Netanyahu has said
30:09
is going to happen, whether a ceasefire or
30:11
hostage swap deal breaks or not. Covering a
30:14
lot of ground for us this morning. Retired
30:16
Admiral James Tervides, thank you as always. We'll
30:18
talk to you again soon. Coming
30:20
up here on Morning Joe, Donald Trump
30:22
says that he will only accept the 2024
30:25
election outcome if it's
30:28
honest. I think we know what that means.
30:30
And President Biden is weighing in.
30:32
We'll play for you Biden's message
30:34
for voters when Morning Joe comes
30:36
right back. The
30:56
U.N. Refugee Agency, or UNHCR,
30:58
responds to emergencies and provides
31:00
long-term solutions for refugees. They
31:03
provide aid in over 130
31:05
countries, including Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan,
31:07
and Sudan, where people are
31:09
forced to flee from war
31:11
and persecution at their greatest
31:13
moment of need. UNHCR helps
31:15
and protects refugees by providing
31:17
food, shelter, medical care, and
31:19
other life-saving essentials. The agency
31:21
jumpstarts relief in three key
31:24
ways. They transport core relief
31:26
items stored in even the most
31:28
remote areas of the world. They
31:30
deploy expert emergency staff trained to
31:32
help in crisis situations. And they
31:34
transfer funds directly to support the
31:36
emergency. Because of generous supporters and
31:38
donors, UNHCR can scale up its
31:40
response within 72 hours
31:42
of a large-scale emergency.
31:44
Your support helps provide
31:47
life-saving aid for refugees
31:49
whenever and wherever emergencies
31:51
occur. Donate to USA
31:53
for UNHCR by visiting
31:55
unrefugees.org/donation. Both
32:00
forces are going to give it up. Martin hands
32:02
it to him, putting a count of a
32:04
shot, close up, drop, swing, hard. He
32:07
connects, huge
32:09
three. But soon, the
32:11
toss it in. Close it, heel,
32:14
throws it up. It's
32:16
out, hopefully, but it's over.
32:19
This war of attrition is won
32:21
by the Knicks. You
32:23
just saw Josh Hart drill the go-ahead three-pointer
32:25
late in the fourth quarter. And
32:27
the New York Knicks hang on just barely to beat
32:30
the Philadelphia 76ers 118 to 115 in game six last
32:34
night to advance to the
32:36
second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
32:38
Jalen Brunson, what a star. He led
32:40
the way once again, finishing with
32:42
at least 40 points for the third
32:45
consecutive game of the series. The
32:47
Knicks now advancing to the Conference
32:49
semifinals in consecutive seasons for the
32:51
first time in nearly a quarter
32:53
century. And those Knicks will play
32:55
the Pacers in the second round
32:57
opener. That'll be Monday night after
33:00
the Indiana Pacers knocked out the Milwaukee
33:02
Bucks with a 120 to 98 win at home last night.
33:06
Frustration set in for the Bucks in the
33:09
final minutes of the game six blowout. Milwaukee's
33:12
Patrick Beverly, watch this, will most
33:14
likely face the disciplinary action from
33:16
the league after an altercation
33:18
with Pacers fans sitting behind the Milwaukee
33:20
bench. Beverly was seen
33:22
twice throwing a basketball at fans,
33:25
hitting at least one in the head. That's going to
33:27
be a lengthy suspension. I would wager
33:29
what a disappointment for Milwaukee. Giannis Hurt didn't
33:31
play. They bring in Doc Rivers, first round
33:33
exit. And Sam Stein, what is that set
33:36
up? Knicks, Pacers, and
33:38
you, my friend, remember those
33:40
playoff wars that those two teams used
33:42
to have punctuated with
33:44
Reggie Miller, Pacers hero, villain
33:47
of MSG, giving the choke signs to Spike Lee
33:49
and the rest of the Knicks fans. This
33:52
is a fun Knicks team. They're a little banged
33:54
up. They have captivated New York City. What
33:57
are you looking for in the second round? Well, I want
33:59
Reggie to put it back. I'm on Rick Smith to
34:01
be back on the core, you know,
34:03
get those old school guys, Latrell, maybe,
34:05
you know, those are some great series
34:07
I have to say. And probably the
34:09
best, most iconic Madison Square Garden playoff
34:11
atmospheres in the last three centuries. I
34:14
don't know if we'll get that, you
34:16
know, it's not the same villainous characters,
34:18
but Brunson's incredible. I mean, let's just
34:20
be honest. He should be MVP. He's
34:23
been a marvel to watch. No, he should be
34:26
MVP. Okay. Three straight 40 point
34:28
games. It's just a remarkable. And whether you
34:30
like them or not, it's just wonderful to
34:32
have good basketball in the garden, playoff basketball in
34:34
the garden. So it's just not another atmosphere like
34:36
it. Yeah. Well, who doesn't
34:38
like Jalen Brunson? I mean, he is,
34:40
he is, he is fabulous. He's what
34:42
a great player, a kind of a
34:44
blue collar player, but he's so tricky
34:46
and so strong. He's got that upper
34:49
body strength and he's, and he's a
34:51
scoring machine. He's, I mean, he's amazing.
34:53
I, I, you know, that why I'm a little punchy
34:55
this morning because I had to stay up and watch
34:57
that game. It was so exciting. They,
35:00
they know because the Knicks went way
35:02
up by 20 points and then here
35:05
came back to the Sixers and, and
35:07
it was back and forth. And you really didn't
35:10
know until the last five minutes how this was
35:12
going to work out. But
35:14
but Lemire, does it matter? I
35:16
mean, whoever gets through, eventually somebody
35:19
is going to have to beat
35:21
your Celtics and
35:24
they're awfully strong. And then whoever comes
35:26
out of the East is going to
35:28
have to be one of
35:30
those monster teams from the West.
35:32
I mean, if you watch the
35:35
timber, the timber wolves look amazing.
35:38
And of course there's the chaps, the
35:40
nuggets. Does anybody from
35:42
the East have a chance this year?
35:44
Yeah. The Celtics are set up well
35:46
in the East. Assuming Porzingis comes back at some point, he
35:48
got injured, they'll get the winner of Cavs
35:51
magic game six in that series. Tonight
35:53
the Celtics dispatched with the hated Miami
35:55
Heat with ease earlier this
35:57
week. But you're right. loaded.
36:01
T-Wolves nuggets, a second round series but
36:03
feels like a conference finals. The Thunder
36:05
are really good too but let's focus
36:07
on what really matters. The Lakers are
36:10
already gone home. Coming up here our
36:12
morning Joe, we will play for you.
36:14

37:29
person, woman, man,
37:31

We learn from then. Yes, ever was

38:28
by person who wrote the Soup
38:30
Nazi. Party with.
38:35
that we used to joke for years about
38:37
during a movie that the Pop Tarts as
38:40
I started about the pub thought in my.
38:42
Romney said the biggest food seen
38:44
that happen to me when a
38:46
man is a pop tarts the
38:48
back of my head right on
38:50
us and the to says a
38:52
stupid idea. Now and then he
38:55
said, let's talk about it and and the
38:57
robin. Another rider from my. Series.
38:59
Was talking with us. He said one of we do
39:01
it like the right stuff. And. When I
39:03

39:10

of flour and I were always
39:18
director now we weren't moving cameras
39:20
or doing all the programming stuff
39:22
like that. but you know any
39:24
trepidation going into it soars directing
39:26
your got the dragon. Now I'm
39:28
but of I have funny people
39:30
like this. so funny people just
39:32
the it's it's about them. Again,
39:36
I'm in a good mood guns and and
39:38
of and the fun will to sap and
39:40
you know Sarah mood was great. We're in
39:42
a good out during the great. He
39:44
had a horrible time off you tell me
39:46
beforehand and since one of the worst experiences
39:48
of your life one of the worst I've
39:51
ever had, he pursued your. Yeah, he made
39:53
me stand on apple box for several hours
39:55
now and cast my eyes open and was
39:57
really only more about you know what? That's
40:00
a good movie and you know if that's what you have to do
40:02
to get a good movie? Hear? You say that director he
40:04
was sort he was kind of obsessive. he
40:06
was like i'm are no and his horse
40:08
hit Vienna where you place your hands were
40:10
tied to their hands. Where your eyes are, you
40:12
know how loud your voice is, how quick you
40:14
talk, and in this guy. Had
40:16
a great idea. Of course you do you
40:19
want to be in the next movie?
40:21
assesses Yellow and Max has add the
40:23
tongs the middle. tons of the toaster.
40:25
Remember that? Movie.
40:29
Soldier Mass I said okay
40:31
Max. now you're getting electrocuted,
40:33
right? But you're gonna fight
40:35
through it. doesn't interfere. Was
40:39
what am I have already was your favorite
40:41
moments or yeah because most people would like
40:43
go you know are not my job I
40:46
said no european up fight through. So
40:49
and so Max What was it like
40:51
Working actually? you in point arrival of
40:54
a guy that was her idol and
40:56
seems to me be like any musician.
40:59
Getting a chance to jam with Paul Mccartney.
41:01
Yeah. I'm wow I mean just working with
41:04
Jerry I bade called me and said you
41:06
to bring up Oppenheimer I got a call
41:08
about it he said hey you an audition
41:10
for Oppenheimer and they send me and said
41:12
they don't be sides and I've met my
41:14
go. This. Is I've known
41:16
simply me as a scientist or
41:18
issuer My god yeah this is
41:20
not known, wants to see those
41:22
and that was like three weeks
41:24
later they called Haiti One an
41:26
audition for Jerry Seinfeld partner moving
41:28
on have resolved as annoying as
41:30
Hell on Earth and a new
41:32
played the Kellogg. That. would
41:34
sell or just add salt as
41:36
yeah so i'd i'd always a
41:39
number of babies so upset about
41:41
an earth as know is great
41:43
i played jerry's boss some over
41:45
an ocean and very similar to
41:47
our everyday life can i tell
41:49
my mother do everything and and
41:51
and christian i believe i would
41:53
not expected you to be a
41:55
milk mafia don here yeah well
41:57
there's an element of danger I
42:00
felt, yeah, elements to the
42:02
character that were brilliantly
42:04
written. And I
42:06
like the guy's backstory, you know, he's
42:08
got children, he's got
42:10
mouths to feed. Exactly. So,
42:13
you know, this guy coming along and creating
42:15
a thing that doesn't need milk was very
42:17
upsetting. So what was it
42:19
like, Jim, just the people you
42:21
got to work with? We were joking
42:24
a lot about Oppenheimer and
42:26
Christopher Nolan. And they always say, well,
42:28
you know, when he calls, you do
42:30
it. I would guess, and I'm serious here, the
42:32
same thing. Jerry Seinfeld wants
42:34
you to be in this movie. Oh,
42:36
yeah. No, I definitely wanted to be
42:39
involved immediately. But
42:42
to your point, I mean, every
42:44
day it was, you're like, oh,
42:46
my gosh, I can't believe this person's coming
42:49
in. And it's just all these funny people
42:51
upon funny people. And then some people, you're
42:53
like, how did Jerry pull this off? Because
42:55
it is an enormous cast
42:58
and it is it really kind
43:00
of covers the spectrum
43:02
of everyone. Incredible cast. You
43:04
made light in these
43:06
politically correct times. I wrote this down.
43:09
Mussolini, JFK, the Cuban Missile
43:11
Crisis, the JFK assassination. The
43:13
aside about JFK Jr. very
43:15
gutsy, Maverick. Are you making
43:17
any progress? Not to scale,
43:19
but what are you guys,
43:21
five years old? Little John John
43:23
draws better than that. And I think
43:26
there's something wrong with them. I'm just curious. Yeah.
43:29
How did that writing go? Oh, yeah.
43:31
And just throw this line about JFK
43:33
Jr. because everybody's making jokes about him.
43:35
Yeah. That was a
43:38
Bill Birds ad lib. I'm
43:40
not surprised. We just loved
43:42
it. It was really funny. I loved it.
43:44
I didn't know that. Yeah,
43:48
he it got much worse. See
43:51
he had Alan Roosevelt coming over
43:53
for a naked swim In
43:57
that scene. We Couldn't quite put
43:59
the history. Story of that together at
44:01
yahoo Eleanor Roosevelt coming over the ugliness.
44:03
I don't know going to swim and
44:05
what as I call skinny dipping Sarah?
44:07
what was the part for you that
44:09
was the most exciting? What is enjoying
44:11
the most? Ah. Lot watching a movie was
44:13
great and the I've I've said many times
44:16
how about actually buying or selling at I
44:18
Just a funeral? Seamless. Actually one of my
44:20
favorites. When I
44:22
saw the box as Kellogg's that said
44:24
funeral size. Of
44:27
ours. Were. Like I was like this
44:29
movie is brilliant Essence assists. Punchline:
44:31
After Feinstein. Wrote me ask if
44:33
we're willing to come up with the idea
44:35
for the funeral saying. Cel. Credit
44:38
early Robin who says a
44:40
full serial on or sister
44:42
and I thought, well what
44:44
would that be. And
44:47
then I came up with we're going
44:49
to turn the grave site and was
44:51
cereal bowl and then that's why we
44:53
have killed the guy. There was no
44:56
reason to it, I don't I just
44:58
I just wanted to do the funeral
45:00
you wanted of lowering killed somebody to
45:02
have a funeral being of of cereal
45:04
you know, obsessive anything that's a whole
45:07
i wanna put milk and cereal in
45:09
it. As a whole. Range
45:17
of you. Go
45:22
to war and ceremonies Yes! Had some
45:24
of his cereals said did not make
45:26
you have for a center at one
45:28
of them called crowd of Haram as
45:30
well as. Long
45:33
as I never liked
45:35
that joseph ago. Last
45:39
bad at right? Now
45:41
larger. I think also that some
45:43
of what's so amazing about this
45:45
movie is it's. And we're talking about. One
45:48
of us thousand feds and my
45:50
layers. And like when you know
45:52
we've heard was a funeral, there's
45:55
like six different elements that are
45:57
so absurd. Ah,
46:00
Ah were more.
46:06
Ah,
46:12
Approval for like that top of
46:14
it isn't as. Easy
46:17
as was. Didn't even realize that is so
46:19
fun about this movie, but it's thought out
46:22
and the and there's a strong point of
46:24
view with that's right, that's that's what I
46:26
kind of associate with Jerry. It's point of
46:28
view driven, not the beyond. Nerdy. but
46:30
and and way it is Wrong
46:32
point. We're world is strong point
46:35
of view. It as in every
46:37
in every situation there's there's a
46:39
strong choice made. Yeah. And you
46:41
know and saw that makes sense
46:43
and some of it intensely doesn't
46:45
make sense. Yeah so it's like
46:47
never put the horizon in the
46:50
center for idea right? since the
46:52
more is oddly kind of like
46:54
as reference of like how our
46:56
culture was suicide. Rates
47:02
kind of commentary. So I love watching
47:04
movies over and over again York and is
47:06
watch him over and over again. This
47:08
is a movie that I now I'm.
47:10
Going to watch Five Six seven times
47:12
because things move so quickly and I
47:14
talked about the J F K Junior
47:16
job and ninety percent on people who
47:18
see the first will probably miss said
47:21
He talked about all these other things
47:23
and it's layer upon layer upon layer
47:25
is man and a hulu and now
47:27
suddenly finds very deep into a very
47:29
peculiar time answer. And even even though
47:31
the whole. Milkman. Thing
47:33
is it's not just like oh
47:35
the Milkman or bad as bad
47:37
as soon as there is a
47:39
complex a city. under
47:44
five and one when i give
47:46
a speech or lane a death
47:48
big meal without area on the
47:50
influence of and out for a
47:52
big town all that it either
47:54
i know i would have made
47:56
it all makes sense and cures
47:58
at attitude pitch I mean, I guess
48:01
you don't have to pitch anymore. You're like, hey, no,
48:03
Jerry if you want a lot of money We
48:07
want that I wanted it to be big
48:09
because a big Hollywood it was yeah I
48:12
better say I heard the concept and
48:14
one of the things that surprised me max was This
48:17
this is like a big there's
48:19
a big field of this you feel like you're
48:21
in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1963 Well,
48:25
if you look at you know a little town
48:27
in Michigan with two gigantic Serial
48:29
companies that hate each other. Yeah, it's
48:32
a perfect comedic Setup
48:34
a person none of it makes sense, but
48:36
we all know that it was true Yeah,
48:39
they they were in Battle Creek, Michigan. The
48:41
name of the town is Battle Creek. Come
48:43
on. It was there It's all the story
48:45
rights itself. Yeah, right. It's right. It's a
48:47
lot of story. It is a love story
48:52
We even put a love story But
48:55
it is also it's America's love of
48:57
sugar And
