Presented by the National Association

0:02

of Realtors. Hey

0:08

good morning! I'm playbook coauthor

0:10

Eugene Daniels. Somehow it has

0:12

already. Friday, April Twelve. Here is

0:14

what's driving the day. First.

0:16

Up this morning, Vice President Kamala

0:19

Harris is headed to Arizona. Should.

0:21

Be doing a campaign event focused

0:23

on abortion rights and access. The.

0:26

Event is being put on by the

0:28

campaign which is a bit of a

0:31

different tack that Hair says taking when

0:33

it comes to her abortion rights and

0:35

reproductive rights events. The. New strategy

0:38

allows here is to go after former

0:40

President Donald Trump by name, over and

0:42

over and over again at these campaigns

0:45

foul abortion events, multiple Aids tell us

0:47

that for weeks Harris has been worried

0:49

that Trump was going to try and

0:52

moderate his position publicly. So she sees

0:54

it as her responsibility to keep Trump

0:56

from attempting to shake off any of

0:59

the blowback from some of the draconian

1:01

laws being enacted in states across the

1:03

country. Thus, the new Strategy Huge is

1:06

a taste of what. She is expected

1:08

to say today cause we all must

1:10

understand who was to blame. It is

1:12

the former President Donald Trump. It is

1:14

Donald Trump who during his campaign and

1:16

twenty sixteen said women should be punished

1:19

for seeking an abortion. Donald Trump is

1:21

the architect of this healthcare crisis and

1:23

that kind of fact he hides. In

1:25

fact, he brags about it and as

1:27

much harm as he has already caused,

1:29

a second Trump term would be even

1:31

worse. If Donald Trump is the chance

1:34

he will sign and national Abortion Ban.

1:36

How do we know? Look at his

1:38

record. Congress tried to pass

1:40

a national portion band before and

1:42

Twenty seventeen and then President Trump

1:45

endorsed it. At. The heart

1:47

of this shift is the campaign and

1:49

Harris's concern that Trump's attempt to moderate

1:51

his position is actually going to work.

1:54

As One Hears Aid put it to

1:56

me, we'd be crazy not to be

1:58

worried about that. Ah,

2:01

so you're not going to want

2:03

to miss this week's play, but

2:05

deep dive. Michael Cohen star witness

2:07

in next week's Trump has Made

2:09

Triumphs takes you inside the first

2:11

and probably only criminal trial that

2:13

Trump is going to face before

2:15

the election. My. Boy Ryan in

2:17

Michael Cohen get into some really

2:20

juicy bits about how he's going

2:22

to defend the assault on his

2:24

credibility that will surely come from

2:26

Trump's legal team, Why district attorney

2:29

out and case is stronger than

2:31

some analysts me, beliefs and illegal

2:33

tactics he is expecting from Trump's

2:36

team and whether he ever regrets

2:38

breaking with Trump. Enjoy to

2:40

me now to talk more about that case in

2:42

his new story is Legal Editor James for most

2:44

Sir James the morning. Hello! You take

2:47

the morning not you wrote about

2:49

that to tear justice system that

2:51

President Trump is always talking about

2:53

with a twist as it works.

2:55

And you start writing this a

2:57

firebrand politician named Donald as about

2:59

to stand trial just a few

3:01

days before. Do so at since

3:03

he goes on Tv to slam

3:06

the charges as baseless and biased.

3:08

called the F B I and

3:10

the Justice Department he insists have

3:12

targeted their political opponents in a

3:14

burst of parts and prosecution. Now.

3:17

For. Those listening there have like yeah

3:19

no the hell that is that Donald

3:21

Trump's But as not of the man

3:23

named Downhill in his Dallas he

3:25

was as city council member and face

3:28

bribery charges fifteen years ago. Snow talk

3:30

about why you started with that. So

3:32

I've been working on the for

3:34

a while about how Donald Trump has

3:37

in many ways spa small and large

3:39

sort of and given special treatment as

3:41

his face is numerous criminal and

3:43

civil. Trials. Over the

3:46

past year and in my research

3:48

aarhus happen to come across this

3:50

case. Like you said about his

3:53

gun him down hill a democratic

3:55

politician in Dallas who was also

3:57

guy on trial. And all.

4:00

Though used the eve of his

4:02

trial to attack the charges as

4:04

politically biased and used some of

4:06

the same. Political. Rhetoric

4:08

that reduce the guy from Trump even notices.

4:11

Actually, fifteen years ago and two thousand and

4:13

nine and I looked at what happened to

4:15

this guy.and what happened is that he immediately

4:17

it's tough sanctions for criminal contempt. He.

4:20

Got a third is jail sentence for

4:22

violating a gag order. And

4:24

I was really struck by a

4:26

difference. The treatment was abyss high

4:28

profile politician at least in his

4:31

say. Who accuse the

4:33

prosecution a political bias and how

4:35

much more leeway Trump has gotten

4:38

And so that. Allowed

4:40

me to start looking at other competitors

4:42

and what I found myself into a

4:44

lot of lawyers is that Trump really

4:46

is one of the times. I've heard

4:48

this from a experts before that Trump when

4:50

he says does it to to justice system

4:53

that it's on him to talk to that

4:55

they're really easy beats you know is that

4:57

thing like when you're pointing one finger all

4:59

those other things opponent yourself or whatever this

5:02

thing that grandma states But since when you

5:04

talk to these experts are they worried about

5:06

the president the sets at all or it's

5:08

do this for like a uniquely Trump phenomenon

5:11

that he's able to get away with the

5:13

things you to stop mind. I

5:16

think that it is uniquely trump in. Just.

5:18

In a sense that he's a

5:20

former president, is a current presidential

5:22

candidate, He's. The only one who's

5:25

been in those positions who's ever

5:27

faced for criminal indictments and a

5:29

slew of civil trials all while

5:31

he's running for the highest office

5:33

in the country. It's and think

5:35

it's unlikely that that's sad of

5:37

situations. Whatever a line again. never

5:39

say never. James never nest nest

5:41

s S S. I mean that

5:43

well as anything Twenty Twenty Eight,

5:45

it's have loses. Yeah, that's a

5:47

sexy who know. But. Like

5:49

did did the I think the reason

5:51

that's Trump has posed such a stress

5:54

test for the legal systems is because

5:56

the legal system is not really designed

5:58

to deal with. Replacing to deal

6:01

with a former presidents was under

6:03

indictment. Who's. Simultaneously, he's running

6:05

to resume the same office that he

6:08

wants out and judges and and handling

6:10

the system is set up to handle

6:12

it. What does this say about our

6:15

legal system? that judges are so worried?

6:17

It seems about the political blowback of

6:19

holding a person who is a citizen

6:22

of the country and therefore as post

6:24

or by the laws of the legal

6:26

system that they're not willing to do

6:29

that that they're so nervous would have

6:31

to say about a legal system or

6:33

the fit. Like as as it's why are

6:35

they so nervous about this of the word, about

6:38

the safety of the word, about the families. One

6:40

hypothesis that I have is that

6:42

many of Trump's Dodgers really are

6:45

trying their best. To. Run

6:47

these cases with as much neutrality

6:49

as possible, and run these cases

6:51

without treating Trump any differently from

6:53

any other. Defendants. And

6:56

what that means in the

6:58

eyes of these judges is

7:00

trying to lower the temperature

7:02

around these cases and. Try.

7:05

Not to inflame the atmosphere of in and

7:07

out of the courtroom, and of course, Trump

7:09

with all his rhetoric makes them very difficult,

7:12

but think that they're aware that if they

7:14

really through the book at him, if they,

7:16

for example, Said. A thrilling

7:18

in pretrial detention. For.

7:20

You not talking Prosecutors are talking

7:22

judges are witnesses or intimidating witnesses

7:25

as is often done if they

7:27

did that. Yes, that might amount

7:29

to sort of an equal treatment

7:31

because that's what they would do

7:33

with other defendants, but it wasn't

7:35

a sense. Be counterproductive because he

7:37

wouldn't that lower the temperature and

7:39

the case. it would of course,

7:42

Inflame. The case even

7:44

further even more than an Rts because

7:46

trumpet big immunity from a martyr. To.

7:49

Supporters Wade see

7:51

him as. Being

7:54

and even graver

7:56

victim as persecution

7:58

and. It. Not have

8:00

the effect of the judges are looking for

8:02

really quickly. Before I let you go, we

8:04

have jury selection on Monday. Do we have

8:07

any sense of how long that it back

8:09

to take? As wouldn't you think this? think

8:11

of actually get started when Amazon Hear somebody

8:13

say I object. Well. I think you're

8:16

going easier lighter say they object immediately to

8:18

to different forces of the jury selection process

8:20

how long countries lesson take. I mean sometimes

8:22

it can be as quick as it as

8:24

a date or to in some of Trump's

8:27

civil cases is actually down pretty quickly. I

8:29

think a couple days in one of the

8:31

civil cases where there was it's a jury

8:33

it's but as you point out, it's more

8:35

like that. I think for I got a

8:38

little longer than that's. Spoiler Alert That legal

8:40

team your political has a story coming pretty

8:42

soon about that jury selection process and the

8:44

challenges. That the wires on file

8:46

size will face and trying to

8:48

get an impartial jury for of

8:50

defendant whom everyone in America has

8:53

from opinions about it seems. And

8:55

we will have to look forward to that story.

8:57

Will have a a drop on here Thank you

8:59

very much for that. Go get some rest because

9:01

years and have a very long few weeks faces

9:04

in such as of. And

9:07
