You know, I heard that they were, that someone started flying a plane with a banner. Yeah. That said, this is Trump country. It sure don't look like it today. I don't think this is Trump country. I think this is our country.

Thanks to you at home for joining us here this hour. Really happy to have you here. So Harvard is standing up and fighting against Trump's threats and attacks against universities. They are fighting instead of making concessions and giving in. Today, yet another law firm that Trump targeted has won against him in court. This time, it was the firm Sussman Godfrey.

The judge called what Trump is doing in threatening this firm, quote, a shocking abuse of power. The judge blocked Trump from essentially continuing to go after the firm.

In fact, every law firm that has fought Trump's attacks in court thus far has won. And that makes it really embarrassing to be one of the law firms that chose not to fight him, right?

Save yourself.

Save your firm. Get out of your so-called deal with Trump and fight back. Because, hey, look, everybody who's fighting back is winning. Whereas in the meantime, you've destroyed your law firm's reputation for eternity. Again, until you change your mind.

We will have more on that in a moment. It was a very dramatic confrontation in court today. Tonight, we've got tens of thousands of people turning out right now on a Tuesday.

to see Senator Bernie Sanders and Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in two back-to-back anti-Trump rallies they are holding in Bakersfield and then in Folsom, California today.

Now they are tearing up basically Central California as we speak. I mean, all this stuff happening on one day. It's on. It is absolutely on. And we're going to have more on all of those stories over the course of the hour tonight. So like I said, I'm very, very happy that you're here. It's a big show, especially for Tuesday.
