interesting role now for Hillary Clinton on the outside. Talking to them
that's about how they are to run in November. She also had a bunch to say she did when I interviewed or a couple of months ago about how Democrats need to think about winning in their district that you can have all the some of the things that we seen from the far left and progressives. You can't run on those issues in every district and expect to win, can rested

ever going to do it again, Elizabeth Bill Miller, you talk to
Democrats rank and file. Democrats there
not so sure they don't want to see her on the ballot one more time, and I will tell you yesterday, she laid it all out there. A lot more clearly than Democrats have been able to do over the past year or so
that's Hilary unleashed mean. I was so just watching that thinking you know she didn't do that through the campaign and twenty. Sixteen now quite like that. What you're what you're saying there is Hilary is the real Hilary what you heard about, and private, very aggressive, very partisan. No,

bout and twenty twenty four. I don't think she would
do that again. Despite what Democrats baby urging her to do, I think there's just that it's it's. A tough race
for women in this country, and I think this is way too much baggage from twenty sixteen,
Obviously there be a field to clear too so, there's a long way between their air gratitude, but Democrats, many of them yesterday that I heard from private Leif said this:
the way that we need these. We need to hear this message and we need to hear it from Hillary Clinton yeah. I will say there. I did get one text for a Democrat who said you know we're tired politicians, don't usually address state political conventions to introduce the governor what she did. She was there and talk about Cathy Hopeful, the governor of New York state. I dont think
that real scenario where she's running, but you could wants to be in the arena. She wants to play a role more so than she did in twenty twenty, that's two cents for people close to her, and I did hear from democratic set, especially that second bite. We play their wish to talk about Republicans and parents and guns that she did. She did a far more clear way, lay out the stakes and the differences between the two parties better than we ve heard from the White House in the last year, plus that it was a really sharp line of attack not just on Trump which of course, she's cloth. I do but on the
publicans going forward the Party writ large- and I do think, though I don't think we'll see Hillary Clinton name on about again. There are a lot of Democrats who hope that those lines right there are in the mouths of reports of Democrats, House and Senate candidates going forward. This fall as they try to hang onto both.

He has the world's attention right now, like he's, never had it before he is. You know he is forcing the the West and the United States the allies to do somersaults, and I have prices meetings. Is there a? Is there a possibility? He would just

February in the morning had been role into failure and New York City, and now there is to slide Connecticut Long Island as we go throughout the rest of the morning. That's the worst of it and then the cold there are moves in. It is thirteen
degrees in Detroit: it's sick,
five in DC, it's fifty two degrees warmer in DC right out the Detroit, but that
whole there will be moving in during the day to day when eighty six million people underway to that needs, a lot of people at the airports will have significant delays in the worst in the highest window, be long island, Nantucket, South eastern portions, of Rhode, Island in Massachusetts. Today, that's where we could give us this morning up to fifty two

Sonny and warm the southern half of the country, kind of typical winter in areas of New England in the great lakes, but no big storms. This weekend we just have to get through this morning.
So has a when how's the weather been. Has a winter been? Has it been harsher than usual or about the about the same where we ve been
Every year we hear that it's a warmer year than ever before. I'm curious how we, starting out this year,.
What December was unbelievably warm and then we had kind of a typical January with the snow in a coal in the first half of February start out cold.
now that we ve quickly gone into a very warm weather patterns and it looks
we're an end February for the eastern seaboard, very warm rates at the beginning of March. So what if you haven't had any snow, yet I don't have any snow on the ground you may not get

times are still with us in time. She has a first question for you, Elizabeth,
My question is here, appear trumps lawyer
Do you tell him to take the fifth in this
a physician, or do you tell him to try it because estimates
so gotta do town trying it through it, but
I think he has sometimes it Bavaria shaky relationship with the with with true facts, and
So what do you do? Based on legal analyse that I have spoken with, doesn't matter who would be put in this position unless you have absolute command and control of the facts in the underlying financial sum and they're gonna? Be very, very specific here is far is asking questions about his business. Trying to test is knowledge of it. How much he actually knows what occurred, who told who? What, unless you have a complete and total command of those facts and recall it is probably a situation where, because of
ongoing criminal investigation. Why do you want to provide any potential ammo for their criminal investigation when you're answering questions in a civil deposition, and so I think, for that reason any iter,
that you would speak to would advise the president for the almost the entire day this to assert the fifth amendment privileges, because you don't want to slip up and say something.
potentially be misconstrued? They could assist a criminal investigation when we talk
the president's pacifically, and we see the statements that even made and is Joe reference, the ways that the judge attacked his legal arguments, the ways that the judge attack the statements. You know we spoke about earlier this week. They put a statement after Miss our says that you can who hunger rely on the financial statements they see. This vindicates it did. They say in here that there's no material errors in so this investigation is moved in the judge of yesterday to proclaim that the measure is red flag, warning that the Trump financial statements are unreliable suddenly renders the away jeez long Standing investigation mood. Is this our dangerous as it is preposterous? So when you see those type of statements attacked the way that they weren't did, that's just by a judge, make your ruling on it.
what are you going to say in a civil deposition? That's gonna help me out. I can't see away here with the president doesn't assert his victim
a privilege is many times is, is you might want to so so time? There clearly is more peril. Here do Donald Trump and there was impeachment trial and the United States Senate
I think in the other aspect of it, is he
clean going in that he is. Lawyers have told them take the fifth, but do you think he is in Katyn it capable of stopping talk,
in its own defence? What are in that? There remains a huge question right. There remains to be seen as far as your reading. Your observation that he's a more peril than impeachment, certainly because things that he can say here- representations and it can make here- could imply
The criminal investigation, so, from the standpoint of you know when he was impeach, nobody was going to was gonna put him in handcuffs that does raise the possibility of this. When you go in speak before a deposition when you're under oath it could be potentially used in the criminal process. Number one number two: you know when you talk about the discipline and lawyers talk about it when they say client discipline, they're, gonna, ask him eat owing to criminal proceedings. You typically assert your fifth member privilege and it's over

trumped. The attorney general's office is that he asserted is with a member privilege over five hundred times. You would not normally do that in a criminal proceedings, but in Aceh,
proceeding in the state of New York, which this is it's time to that, you can show that to the jury and say they

The question is, yes, Kenny hold this time,

It can be used against him in a civil trial. That's why so dangerous here, because the fifth amendment protects you again self incrimination, but you can have a negative inference against you at a civil. Try on this is a civil
so I think he doesn't have any good options because we doesn't take. The fifth is calm, says what he says can be used against them in the parlour.
