0:00.0 | Good morning. It's Saturday, February 10th, and you're watching Velshi on MSNBC. |
0:13.0 | I'm Charles Coleman Jr. filling in for my friend and colleague Ali Velshi, and we've got a lot to talk about. |
0:20.0 | We begin this morning with Donald Trump's new reality TV show. |
0:24.2 | Now, we all remember The Apprentice, you know, the whole, you're fired thing, but what we're |
0:29.6 | watching now is more like The Defendant. |
0:32.6 | It's a terrifying real-life spinoff series playing out in actual courtrooms and on the campaign trail each and every day. |

1:24.1 | writer E. Jean Carroll, and they ordered him to pay her a total of $88.3 million. |
1:30.7 | And just this week, a three-judge panel and the D.C. Court of Appeals unanimously rejected his |
1:35.8 | presidential immunity argument, which was really his best shot at beating back the dozens of criminal charges he's now facing. |
1:43.4 | I want to say that again, unanimously. |
1:46.3 | That means his lawyer stood up in front of an entire panel of erudite judges, made their |
1:51.7 | best legal arguments, and when it was all said and done, each of the judges essentially told |
