Hi, welcome back to prosecuting Donald Trump. It is Friday, May 3rd.

It is 10.09 a.m.

And that means that the trial, the Friday trial,

has started.

It's going to be sitting today until about

345. So we'll be talking about what happened in the trial this week as well as a

gag order, but first I'm Andrew Weisman and I'm here with

Mary McCord. Morning Andrew. How you doing? I'm good I'm excited for today

because you were in court yesterday and so you know usually you and

I are cramming to read the transcripts after they come out and taking many of our impressions

from the transcripts but today we get to actually

hear what it was like to be in the courtroom, what you observed not only in the courtroom,

but going to the courtroom in the morning and how the jurors seem to be

reacting to the testimony and all of that great color and then of course we'll

talk a little bit about the second gag order contempt hearing that was

yesterday morning as well and we will today we promise

get to some listener questions.

I know I actually it was hard to choose but should we start with sort of what it's like going down there?

Yes, yes.

Did you stand in a long line?

Yeah, so just to give people a sense of the outside,

this is outside the criminal courts in New York, which is this old building where tons of criminal matters are heard day in and day out.
