Summary

Megyn Kelly opens the show with her first edition of “Fifty Shades of Orange,” a dramatic reading of the ridiculous coverage of the Trump NYC "hush money" trial, why it's "foreplay for nerd reporters,” and more. Then Megyn Kelly is joined by Court TV's Vinnie Politan and defense attorney Jonna Spilbor to discuss what we know about the seven jurors selected to serve on the Donald Trump trial jury, whether lawyers on a jury help prosecutor or defense, the significance of the media that the jurors consume, Judge Merchan attacking Donald Trump over jury "intimidation" for muttering something quietly in the courtroom, Trump's comments after court that could be used against him in the trial, the Karen Reed murder case, whether she committed the crime or she was framed, the evidence that has been presented, whiny protesters in Bakersfield and Berkeley, an update on the Ruby Franke case, and more.

1:01.0	the courtroom not Not kidding.
1:03.7	The tedium of jury selection,
1:06.0	an infamously boring process,

1:49.7	Off we go. Quote, Trump appeared to close his eyes and tilt his head from side to side. He then removed a paper from his breast pocket and started examining it.
2:08.0	End quote. His eyes closed, you say, head tilting back writhing from side to side did you mention a breast go on
