- Rachel Maddow explains the two facets of what prosecutors in Donald Trump's New York criminal trial showed in the early questioning of witness David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, who described "checkbook journalism" and the persuasive power of magazine covers, which, in the case of the National Enquirer, are seen by every American that goes to a supermarket.

#Trump #hushmoney #witness
We flushed 365 million times and turd is still bobbing around the bowl
Light weight at best😅
The issue is the amount of imbeciles on which trump floats on top of, sucking up their money in donations.
Another example of the mind of a liberal. Is this a normal mentality?
The concern now is not just a floating turd but an overflow of the entire toilet after the election. 😢😢😢
@@gbadesakin We had that overflow on Jan 6 2021 and now more of the population recognise the poop and stench around the twice impeached and indicted ex-president. Stay strong, and encourage your family and friends to keep the demoncracy.
National Embarrassment is more accurate.
Universal Embrassment 😳🤣
The guy is a joke all over the world. There is no way he's gonna be president again. If he is America deserves everything he brings and it will not be good.
@@barrypower7259he's not winning. Even MAGA is starting to realize what a stupid idea it was to try to run him again.
I agree Democrats are a total world embarrassment
Thank you Rachel Maddow! Absolute truth 👍
Rachel Maddow is one of the most professional, ethical and well informed journalists in the business. She has broken some of the most important stories. ❤❤❤ Vote 💙 blue.
@@juliearcand2358 absolutely agree! Thank you
@@juliearcand2358 Ethical? Maddow would be jobless without Trump and her lies.
Thanks, Rachel for your thorough reporting
How many Trump abortion NDA's are out there...
They'd be a few.
Probably more than you'd think there is.
Hearing the panel giggle over these headlines is giving me some energy this morning, thank you.
Follow the money, it's always about the money with these Conmen.
Wasn't the national inquirer just a gossipy trashy magazine? I'd like to the former USA DOJ Bill Barr to be asked about his meetings with Rupert Murdoch.
Yes, but it fits right onto the list of every other T***p criminal scheme. It's sleazy, not sophisticated, really antiquated and directed at a specific demographic.
Cohen did three years for the same crime
Exactly 💯 NOW Trump's turn !!
And Weisselberg is doing 10 months in Rikers. Trump should get 10 years.
Yes, that’s the central issue! Why is it illegal for Cohen and OK for Trump?
Cohen did not do 3 years for the same crime. Cohen pleaded guilty of 5 counts of willful tax evasion, 1 count of making false statements to a bank, 1 count of causing an unlawful campaign contribution, and 1 count of making an excessive campaign contribution.
Trump has not been charged with any of those crimes.
What's good for the goose......
I'm in Europe. We always thought the US was a country of equal people. It seems its not, money rules and you have become like Europe was 200 years ago with untouchables. Politicians shouldn't be part of the justice system.
Billionaires Bernie Madoff and Martha Stewart did significant time in prison. Billionaire Sam Bankman just began a 25 year sentence for fraud. Your perception of the US is flawed.
It was before the orange anti christ arrived on the scene
a country of equals? never was. probably never will be same as everywhere. unless you can keep psychopaths out of positions of power theyl always be finding ways to ruin everything
You must be from Russia where you think Navalny's murder case shouldn't be a part of the Justice System?
@@user-st3wd3jb8o you're DA's ( here we call them Directors of Public Prosecutions) are literally party members. These should be apolitical offices.
Absolutely brilliant and astute analysis as always from Rachel.
People these days are revealing how STUPID they are by just defending Donald Trump.
Or being in Trump's Orbit !!😳😁🤣 they never learn 🙄 🤦
Imagine what those still conforming to the propaganda are revealing themselves to be
in this case even after he was found guilty of civil fraud...but somehow this is different. or the frauds that were his charity and trump U...magats have been stupid for a LOOOONG time, the true sufferers of TDS.
Trump was the president. It's not about being stupid, it's power and wealth.
For sure they are revealing total stupidity by watching MSNBC. The 24/7 Democrat Attack Trump Network. How about they cover real stories like the mass shooting in Memphis TN that they are totally ignoring.
Well. National Enquirer is absolute impeccable journalism . HAHAHAH!
Great summary by Dr. Maddow.
I am hoping and trusting that the prosecutor in this case is as smart and observant as Rachel Maddow...
Some people are unfortunate to have been born with a name that easily can be used used to bully and mock . David decided to lean into that
At what point do people stop fawning over celebrities or failed reality tv host🙄?
Rachel Meadows just an awesome journalist👏
Always.
National Enquirer was in every supermarket in America. Whether you bought it or not, you did see it. My enquiring mind wants to know.
Rachel just won this case. She should be prosecuting it. I hope the prosecutors see this video.
I use to tell my grandma those magazines are ALL garbage , don't waste your money. 🤭
Oh contraire, “never judge a book by looking at the cover.”
when i go to the grocery store, i am way too busy looking for a candy bar for the ride home than to bother reading those headlines. I have priorities
They call it yellow journalism because puppies pee on it
Rachel Maddox is a treasure. Great respect. Velshi’s offensive in your face ad for the MSNBC app? No respect. Does MSNBC really need this so desperately that they are willing to turn off so many of their viewers by constantly bombarding them with this annoying ad you have to physically turn off every time you watch an MSNBC video? Way to get around premium ad blocking. Stop it. Or we’ll have to turn to CNN, who I’m not that happy with these days but it’s better than this blatant disrespect for your audience. Betting you there are tons of viewers that feel the same but don’t want to bother to comment,
Covers in your face are not just in supermarkets... every gas station, every convenience store.
Where do you shop? Supermarkets do not even carry the NY Times, let alone trash like the national enquirer
As stringy as Trump is when it comes to using his own money, there's no way in heck Trump didn't know that he was paying hush money. So his lies about just signing checks definitely don't wash. He knows he is guilty as heck. And Trump definitely should be go to prison for his crimes.
Im sorry they have done this to you.
@@Gabedudley1Noone here needs your sympathy buddy, save it for 45 and your fellow MAGAt's.😉
@@alexjohnson2379 Yes. Their blinding pride is their weakness. Molded into the ideology for that very reason. Hitler did the same thing
@@alexjohnson2379 and the naxis used to call jews magats. Realize what you have become please.
@@alexjohnson2379 true. Arrogance and pride are embedded into the ideology to keep them blinded. Worked well for hitler
Prosecutor holding a pot of boiling water. Steaming through the odious defense.
The blanching of Blanche?
Hi Rachel Anne.👋🍺.
The app ad at the end of all your videos is really grating and awful. Please please please, take them off
I’ve been saying that too. So LOUD and high-pressure and annoying.
Agree
How on Earth did that magazine never get sued by Hillary Clinton?
The National Enquirer needs to be de-platformed. The agony we could have saved…..
The national enquirer ...you mean the tabloid magazine that tells us Howie Mandell is really a space alien??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That doesn't matter, Trump paying people to cover it all up because of the election is the crime.
Madam Maddow is such a real journalist, as good as BBC Emily Maitlis.
I remember it being in my grocery store. At the checkout area facing the customer like 20 copies raised up in the air week after week for most of 2015. And I wondered how far could this go but had no idea it was everywhere in every state all over the place.
Hey Rachel
Orange’s secret child !!! will be a small Mandarin Orange ?
The cover is sort of irrelevant when the point is to get an "exclusive story", ie, these people would be kept from talking to any other media people, so the stories would be kept out of the public eye. That it was the National Enquirer is not the point, surely, but rather that it isn't _anyone_ reporting on Trump's behaviour.
I say if you find these magazines in your grocery stores take a picture and demand management take it down . Or turn the cover around .
Calling the "National Enquirer" a "magazine" is akin to calling an overweight mouse an elephant.
Or calling fox entertainment a news source.
Darlings, drawn and quartered comes to mind .
Still no crime here. Nothing has changed.
A newspaper in every supermarket? I haven't seen the enquirer in a supermarket,candy store, or newspaper stand in a decade.
Then you're not looking.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a kid out there undercover
Well that sounds like hush money
Trump always accuses people of his own high crimes and misdemeanors. Classic narcissistic projection.
Narcissist also have the need to belong with the "most educated" group. Narcissist need a safe space when reality offends their ego. Its been obvious for a while who is doing the projecting
You left out the cover on Ted Cruz's father killing JFK.
What has that got to do with this case? Really! How irrelevant 😞
@@daydays12It was all lies. What do you not get?
@@reubenherrera9827 mmmmmm
National Enquirer… seriously yall, get a life! That’s about as credible as bringing the tooth fairy on to testify! 🤣🤣
But seriously though the very fact that a lot of people will still prefer this loathsome guy to Biden is worrying.
New app ? A new app can NOT be improved,
an existing one can be improved 😂
Sometimes i think Trumps high
,,, it is not the crime,, it's the cover-up ...
Nice, think i read this one. Wasnt it about a dying angel?
are you off your meds?
@@Owen.Michaels was that the title? I barely look at the grocery store tabloids. Think the best one was "I had an Aliens baby"
He's jesta silly goose
Why did Trump KNOW The National Enquirer was his #2 most powerful “media” ally after FOX “News”? He knows his base very well and thinks of them in the most stereotypical sense possible. But it seems he was right 🤷♀️
Trump's lawyer can now argue that the case against him is as legitimate a National Enquirer story. 🤦
Trump is a stinking liar and adulterer and criminal. The contents on the National Enquirer doesn't change those facts.
Is it me or am I hearing from this MSNBC panel how weak the prosecution's case it?
It's definitely you.
@@FEnixPS1studios 😄😄😄
Only conspiracy believers think the Earth is flat
MSNBC: Do you realize that the loud ad for your app, at the end has your views slightly irked and reaching for the mouse to switch you off?
Thank you!
Exactly
Because trump didn"t Go Away, that gave us the chance to bring Back the BIG LIES...LETS PLAY.
My Black daughter wants to graduate do you
I am shocked that their first witness was the CEO from The National Enquirer.
So WHAT if that paper is in people's faces at the supermarkets? That paper is a joke. Nobody thinks it's REAL news.
And this is how the protector comes out fighting? 😮
His whole case looks like a JOKE that nobody finds funny.
How is Trump responsible for what a CEO decides?
If I were in that jury I'd b be very CONFUSED right now.
Trump is a stinking liar and criminal and adulterer. The contents of the National Enquirer doesn't change the facts.
If you are a tRUMP supporter, you are indeed very confused. There is no need to be on the jury.
who do you think will take over from trump [they have your republican party] . your future fuehrer needs to avoid bad associations, should have stuck to an unpopular constitutional monarch, a lot safer.
😅I
A comment.
The one truth they got right was their report on how Ted Cruz dad was part of JFK assisination team nice dad Ted Cruz just like you!!!!!
Irrelevant
Try English next time.
@@daydays12Not irrelevant. It's a pattern.
How ironic, I see Trumps face on MSNBC every day.
Welcome to his 2024 campaign. Fully funded by democrats😂
Difference is they're exposing him for the criminal he is not covering it up. Every American should be outraged at the level of deception trump went to to pollute the highest office of Precidency.
It was so nice watching CNN news today. No ads every 2-3 min. And NO disgusting promotional outro where Ali Velshi debases himself. You need to remove "premier" from your bio. You've become the Fox news of Left wing media.
Happy funday Monday fact. The president has unilateral and complete authority to declassify material.
Through a process, maybe, but not by mental telepathy. The president does not have the authority to steal, obstruct, and lie on legal documents though.
@@txchas That doesn’t change my factual statement on a presidents declassification authority. 🤦🏼♂️
Trump didn't declassify any of the national security documents that he stole, hid and refused to give back. How much of the Intel Trump sold to the highest bidder is the question.
Shirley you jest ?!?...if a president gave an enemy nuke data , that would not bee treason ?...- no treason is separate....it's military law...he may not annoy a street copper...but a guy will show up and put a stop : to it , briskly... ...if your sure... Gimme a hint as to why....plz
Stick to the video's topic, Jethro. And take your meds.
Is there proof, written statements and facts? Sounds like you are selling a dream to a teenager.....
Yes, there's proof.
There is audio recordings between 🤡 and M Cohen!
You know what, you will never believe the facts or truth because you live in denial!
They wouldn't have had him testify if it wasn't to provide proof.
Yes, there are too many facts, written evidence and audio recording of Trump conspiring to effect the crime.
Being willfully blind and delusional doesn't change the fact that Trump is guilty as heck. He needs to go to prison for his crimes.
That case is already dead ... Watch! 😮
Please make Velshi disappear - he’s very annoying!
