political experts. we are joined by senior analyst jeffrey toobin, and senior political analyst ron brownstein, senior editor at the atlantic. we have to listen to sound from paul manafort, trump's convention manager. it is a big position in the trump campaign. listen to what he said in private position to the rnc. >> he is sitting in a room, he's talking business, talking politics and it is a different%. he is on stage and talking about the kinds of things he is talking about the things that project an image that's for that purpose. the part he's been playing is evolving into the part that you've been expecting. >> the part he's playing, is this a problem for him? >> he is walking a tight rope. as p king said, you would expect if he is the nominee to dial back on the outrageous comments and behavior we have consistently seen. if he is going to be the nominee, he has to reassure, the party leaders, they're putting the party in the hands of somebody they can trust. if you say i have been playing it up, i am not that person, you open yourself to the criticism we heard from ted cruz, e

jeffrey toobin. first, pamela, we can hear it's loud outside of the courtroom with the very high stakes oral arguments but what did you hear inside the courtroom? what's your sense? >> reporter: inside, it was an intense 90 minutes during the oral arguments and the justices seemed deeply divided over the issue of immigration. for the conservative justices, they questioned whether the president had the authority to issue this executive action that would shield millions of undocumented immigrants from being deported and give them work authorization and ancillary benefits. in fact, at one point, justice kennedy brought up where the president was straining congress's fear by issuing this executive order and this seems upside down and then chief justice roberts seemed concerned with the language in the memorandum that said it would give these undocumented immigrants lawful residence. he seemed confused how if they're in violation of the law. but the liberal justices shot back. they said there's 11 million immigrants in the united states. the administration has a right to prioritize. why not

appearance, our usual law guy, jeffrey toobin as well because there's law that comes into this. >> yes, there is. >> i'm getting to that in a minute but first to you. we've got tomorrow, mark preston, what's called the apella track. that train that hits the states in between and looks like a big old trump sweep. why is this business of the collusion or the friendship or the alliance or whatever you call it matter at this point? >> it matters because they are trying to do this last ditch effort right now. cruz and kasich to be relevant and possibly have a shot at winning the nomination in cleveland. the bottom line is we've seen donald trump do very well here in new york and expected to do well in the five states tomorrow. i just heard that a very big lobbyist out of washington, dc is now volunteering on behalf of donald trump. david urban and did work for rick santorum and bringing establishment types along and you see this at this point because after tomorrow night, there are only ten more primary contests left. in order to stop donald trump to get to 1237, you've got to stop him now.

before. cnn j jeffrey toobin and danny savalos. i want to say the words again when you deny of having a physical affair and aud i owe tape says when i stand behind you and put my hands on your breasts, i love that too. >> that is a country song. >> honest to god, it is. >> it is certainly not the kind of thing you expect your governor to say if it is not his wife and wouldn't expect to have an audiotape. how can he deny having a faa physical affair and have this audiotape out there and he knows it is 0 out there. jeffrey? >> the -- people deny things all the time. who knows what the relationship is between this gentleman, the governor and miss may john. >> when i put my arms around you and pull you close and put my hands on your breasts. >> i don't want to speculate. >> i will jump in. criminal law has long recognized the most natural human impulse in the first instance is deny, deny, deny. in some aspects criminal procedure allows for that and doesn't always penalize you for that instinctual i didn't do it. every not guilty plea is a denial fact of the facts. what explanation can there

compensated me for that. >> the series is based on journalist jeffrey toobin's book the run of his life. >> it portrays a prosecution team as kind of bumbling. >> a little, yeah. >> you know what? my book was on the "new york times" best seller list for 24 weeks. i understand that in one way people make money off of you and your mistakes by casting them in a negative light. >> it suggests that this unforgettable debacle for darden. >> do you regret him trying on the gloves? >> no. the gloves fit. everyone argues about it. you know, that's okay. >> is it true that f. lee bailey came up to you before court and said to you if you don't ask him to try on the glove, i will. >> if you don't ask him to try on the gloves, i will. >> i don't recall that happening. >> did you meet the kardashians? >> of course i met kris back then. of course i knew robert. i recall one day, i believe there was one day that she brought the children with her. they were in the d.a.'s office. they were little kids. >> those kids, kourtney, rob, and kim, their mother kris jenner was a good friend of accused of murderi

editor david swid lick, and senior analyst jeffrey toobin. i want your reaction, gloria, to what we heard from sean spicer, spokesman for the rnc. especially the notion that trump wants the next convention in cleveland in july to have more showbiz to it. >> i think sean didn't take too well to that. i think sean's main job in coming on the show was to defend his boss, reince priebus, and to say reince priebus is not going anywhere. we heard that until 2017 when his term is up and that even if donald trump wanted to dethrone him, he could not do that, he doesn't have the power or authority, he is not president of the united states, and it is up to members of the rnc to decide who the next chairman should be. even presidents when they try to pick their own chairman of the party sometimes have a difficult time getting what they want. i think sean was kind of on fire defending his boss. >> 95 republican delegates at stake tomorrow night in new york state. how many of them does trump need to show he has a spectacular -- >> i think he needs overwhelming victory tomorrow, not only to chang

. so my question is, the show is based on a book by my colleague and friend jeffrey toobin. it's call "the run of his life." so were you true to the book and to the story line? and where did you deviate? >> i think we were very true to the book. larry and i are research freaks, we love getting it right. jeff's book is the gold standard for journalism on the o.j. trial. i think where we made it different was we ended up really liking all these people, and johnny, chris and marsha, particularly, who had become caricatures over the last 20 years, the more we read about them, the more we felt bad for them and you see how passionate they were and how much they cared. so i think we wanted to feel for them in a way that you don't necessarily have to do in a piece of journalism like jeff was writing. >> so let me ask you this because you did a lot of research and you did ten episodes. so what do you think? did he do it or not? >> i think, you know, all the evidence points that he did it. there isn't another suspect. when o.j. in the final episode says he's going to go off to find the rea

analyst jeffrey toobin is with us along with cnn political commentator hilary rosen. guys, thanks very much. jeffrey, donald trump is hitting ted cruz very hard over the new york values comments. listen to what he had to say last night in long island. >> everyone understands that the values in new york city focus around money and the media. >> i saw something that no place on earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than new york. >> that was an instagram video that donald trump posted. he also had some strong words in his rally last night going after ted cruz on the whole new york values issue. you think -- you're a new yorker. do you think trump stands a chance of winning 50% of the vote a week from tuesday? >> oh, i certainly do. and i think the new york values thing is a big problem. let's be honest, remember what ted cruz said. he said new york values are about money and they're about the media. that's an anti-semitic trope from a hundred years. it's been around a very long time. everyone in the whole country understands what he was saying, and that's a big problem

analyst jeffrey toobin. gloria, what do you make of ted cruz's decision to pick carly fiorina as his vice presidential pick? >> couple things. first of all, wolf, he needed to change the conversation from the sweep that trump had last night and he also just put all his chips in the center of the table. he said look, i'm all in, it is a big play for the state of indiana. i am not sure what it does to help him there, but what has he got to lose. he has to travel the state. carly fiorina is somebody who thinks the way he does, who has endorsed him, who is good on the campaign trail. a woman who can help him and so they can try to divide and conquer the state. from his point of view, i don't think he had much to lose by doing this. i think it is a campaign tactic to get more attention and try to win that state for him, which is really make or break. a contested convention, wolf, as you know is his only play and he wants to go into a contested convention, number one, and number two, he wants to go in from a position of some strength. and right now he does not have that position. he's in a

forgiveness from the victims and the judge. jeffrey toobin, when you hear the details, we know hastert's attorneys, they wanted probation. because of his older age, he didn't give him more time because it would essentially amount to a death sentence. what are all the factors to giving him 15 months? >> brooke, i have to tell you, i don't think the public has fixated enough on just how amazing and horrifying this case is. this man was second in line to the presidency. two. >> two heartbeats away. >> two heartbeats away and he was a serial child molester acknowledged. where were the journalists who should have found this out? where was law enforcement? where were all the people writing profiles of him for all these years? where were his political supporters, his political opponents? how could this have gone on? how could he be a revered figure? everybody in the house called him coach. that was his whole per ssonna being a etch co. coach. i just find this story incredible. >> so 15 months -- >> i used to prosecute the cases about currency. and usually they don't get any jail time at all. ob

interviewed her children, her grandchildren. jeffrey toobin had published in the new yorker a letter from marty ginsburg that he wrote her shortly before he died, and every time i read the letter, i would cry. and it was, you know, near the end of the chapter about their marriage x. their marriage was significant to us not just because, you know, it's this beautiful marriage -- although it is -- but because it really informed her ideas, her equality jurisprudence and her optimism that men could become better partners. it really, i think, inspired her to imagine a world of equality between men and women including in romantic partnership. so we were trying to get the original of the letter because one of the key parts of our book -- this is the scrapbook aspect -- is primary documents. so we went to the library of congress, we got permission from justice ginsburg to reprint letters including a letter from gloria steinem, the original letter to the editor or from steven wisen fed. but this letter, every time i asked for it, you know, there would just be a polite silence. and i th

, hilary rosen. cnn political commentator s.e. cupp and our senior legal analyst, jeffrey toobin. guys, thanks very much. s.e. take a look at this new monmouth university poll. new york state republicans, it's a closed republican contest in new york, 13 days from today. trump is at 52%, kasich second place 25%, cruz third place 17%. that 52% number is significant because in new york state, if you get more than 50%, it's winner-take-all, that's all 95 delegates. >> right. >> if trump can hold on to that lead. are you surprised he's doing that well in his home state? >> yes and no. donald trump has a very uncomfortable relationship with new yorkers in new york city. that sounds insignificant but it's really half the population of the state is in new york city. you know, he's not beloved there. but he is, i think, doing very well in those rural, manufacturing counties upstate, out west, up north where you're from where i went to college. he's doing well up there. >> if he gets all 95 delegates in new york state, that loss he had in wisconsin, is that in the rear-view mirror then and he mo

her shortly. meantime, let's bring in kevin madden, gloria borger, david chal yen, and jeffrey toobin. gloria, what do you make of the deal between kasich and cruz? >> i think it is a last ditch effort, you have been calling it a hail mary. i think cruz figures he has to do something. their only shot is at a second ballot at the convention. that's what they're working towards. i was talking to paul manafort today who is the delegate hunter for donald trump and here's what he said about the agreement. he said i think the agreement is a sign of desperation. the washington insiders will always put their interests ahead of what voters want. in a way, wolf, it does play into the trump narrative that it is the insiders trying to get him, trying to rig the system against him. by the way, what's the guarantee that all those kasich voters are going to suddenly turn around and vote for cruz? i don't think so. >> you're a strategist, republican strategist, kevin. is it too little too late? >> it is a strategy of last resort, this is not the way -- this is not a strategy they're choosing.
