I don't think it's going to be a hung jury.
Their demeanor last night wasn't that of a jury bitter and angry at each other, indicative of a hung jury. They seemed to be more hangry and stayed well past what they were asked once they were promised food.

Currently the counsels are arguing about including the testimony of a Mr. Otto.

I'm inside the Bay Country, Florida Courthouse for Day Two of the $1 billion defamation trial of Zachary Young v. CNN.
Judge William Scott Henry is currently reading the instructions to the jury about the nature of what will be argued before them.
Opening arguments from both sides will happen today and testimony from U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young is also expected.
Thank you to @LawCrimeNetwork for being the pool camera feed! "The facts didn't matter"
Opening arguments begin with one of Young's lawyers, Kyle Roche telling the jury about how CNN approached telling the story about Young.
He says CNN ignored the facts told to them about how Young ran his extraction operations in Afghanistan.

Comedian Whitney Cummings takes shots at CNN while on CNN:
"I'm now playing, you know, like 3000 seat theaters, which is about the viewership of CNN these days." She actually mentions Hunter Biden's laptop and his obsession with hookers:
"The Dallas Cowboys cheerleader doc showed the girls being treated horribly underpaid, crying. I thought I'd open a video on Hunter Biden's laptop."

Sunny Hostin touts some of the heinous comments celebrating the assassination of Brian Thompson: "Isn't that something? I think it's reflective about how people are feeling about their healthcare."
She then calls for universal healthcare. Sara Haines points out that killing people is not how to effect good change: "The sheer stupidity that people would turn to violence and think they're effectuating change is the most ghastly part of this."
Adding: "You're not dude. You're not going to change anything."

Whining about Trump campaign ads, Sunny Hostin falsely claims Kamala does not support taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries. Joy Behar claims that Sunny's question about what Kamala would do differently as president was "taken out of context." Sunny admits she wasn't. Charlamagne tha God calls on Democrats need to "muddy the waters" and "cause some confusion" among voters with their campaign ads.
"You got to get dirty with these people," he said about running against Republicans.

Whoopi Goldberg, who has not served America in any way, mocks Pete Hegseth's name and ignores his 20 years of decorated military service which included combat tours, and his years of advocating for veterans. Despite Hegseth's decades of military service, Whoopi claims he "clearly does not know anything about the military."
None of the cast seems to be aware of his service, but their ignorance doesn't keep them from mouthing off.

The View praises Kamala's late concession speech.
"She's even inspiring in defeat. Like, the things she said about we don't stop fighting," Haines boasted.
She claims the only person to "pull off" election denying is Trump. Meanwhile, The View denied the 2016 election. Joy Behar rages at the red wave: "We lost the Senate, the Supreme Court, the executive branch, the House is on the verge of going to him. It's pathetic! There are no checks and balances."
She bashes America for not electing the "completely intelligent qualified woman."

The View blames Trump for Biden calling his supporters "garbage."
"He owns that language. He owns that rhetoric because he is the one that introduced it," Sunny Hostin proclaimed. Hostin whines that being upset with calling Trump supporters "garbage" is " gaslighting to the tenth degree," and complains about it being "co-opt[ed].""I hope Americans recognize what's happening," she adds.

The View falsely claims Trump himself made the joke about Puerto Rico being trash at MSG, not the comedian.
"Puerto Rico is trash? We are Americans, Donald Trump," Sunny Hostin proclaimed. "We voluntarily serve disproportionately high in the military while you have bone spurs." Ana Navarro continues to falsely claims Trump himself made the jokes: "he didn't just make jokes about Puerto Ricans. He made jokes about blacks...He made a vile joke about Latinos..."
She then appeals to identity politics, calling people to "vote your identity."

The View brags about how easy it would be to cheat on their men.
Behar: It's easy, "men are so clueless and egotistical, they think no one would ever cheat on them."
Alyssa Farah Griffin: "I absolutely would get away with it."
Sara Haines says her husband is too busy to notice. Here's a rundown of The View cast's dysfunctional marriages

Ta-Nehisi Coates suggests he's not above taking part in an October 7-style attack:
"And I grow up under that oppression and that poverty and the wall comes down. Am I also strong enough or even constructed in such a way where I say this is too far, I don't know that I am." Trevor Noah says he was "angry" at CBS's Tony Dokoupil for saying Coates sounded like an extremist. Noah then compares Gaza to the American Revolution: "If you remove America's history...then it's like, yeah, those people who fought against the British, they were terrorists."

What's the most ridiculous, desperate thing CNN could do to try to get out the $ 1 billion defamation suit against them?
This is it:
CNN cites Sharia law for their innocence in defamation suit, argue Navy vet is a criminal for saving women newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicho… One of the opening lines of CNN's latest filing argues that Zachary Young, in helping to get women out of Taliban oppression, carried out “activities he orchestrated and funded, which involved moving women out of Afghanistan, almost certainly were illegal under Taliban rule”

Sunny Hostin claims the KKK is after her and trying to round her up: "And the KKK is going to find me and round me up with every other black person...That is my lived experience." Joy Behar says Trump's entire base is racist:
"My point is he was really working for his base right now. That was to signal his base...It was like an opportunity to say to all the racists out there, see, see what I'm saying here. See what I did there?"

"It's so depressing....I think he's going to drop out."
Joy Behar is disheartened by top Democratic Party leaders telling Biden to get out of race.
"The COVID in a way is like a good way for him to get out because he needs this time to show how strong he is and he's sick..." Sunny Hostin doesn't like the behind-the-scenes meetings urging Biden to get out are being leaked to the media.
"It's his decision to make. It seems to me that these...meetings are being leaked to force his hand."
But Biden still has her vote because Kamala is his VP.

CBS White House correspondent Weijia Jiang omits Biden's mixup of Mexico and Egypt as she touted his "sharpest criticism yet of Israel." ABC White House correspondent Mary Bruce downplays Biden's Mexico/Egypt mix-up.
"The president mistakenly referred to the president of Egypt as the president of Mexico. He did later get it right," she said in his defense.

Despite Hamas beheading a hostage recently, ABC's Mary Bruce repeatedly questions if Israel is abiding by the rules of war:
"Does the president feel that Israel is abiding by the rules of war?... Is the President concerned that Israel is going to break the rules of war...?" An apparent foreign reporter regurgitates Hamas propaganda numbers about civilian deaths, claiming more kids have been killed in Gaza in 3 weeks than in "the whole world conflict since 2019."

Alyssa Farah Griffin points to Hamas as the reason Gaza has inadequate infrastructure: "Palestine receives billions of dollars of foreign aid...Hamas uses that for its terrorist efforts."
She also calls out Hamas leadership for "living large in Qatar" and telling others to die. "Hamas doesn't care about Israeli children or Palestinian children," Ana Navarro says.
She quotes Golda Meir that if Hamas put down their weapons, then there'd be peace, but if Israel put down theirs then there would be no more Israel.

The View scoffs at NYC Mayor Eric Adams' warning about the illegal immigration crisis harming the city.
Joy Behar says he's just being "dramatic" and Ana Navarro says he "has a flair for drama."
Joy also huffs about the right poking fun at NYC being a sanctuary city. Racist Sunny Hostin decries Adams and his concerns about the illegals swarming New York City (where she does not live). "I thought this country with its big Statue of Liberty...is supposed to be the country that accepts people..."
She also dismisses his request for more money.

The View defends President Biden ignoring his 7th grandchild.
"It's not [Joe's] baby." -Whoopie
"It's very hard for Joe Biden to be a grandfather to the child if his son is not being a father." - Navarro
Navarro whines that "the right-wing ... has decided to weaponize Hunter..." Alyssa Farah Griffin hates that Joe says he only has 6 grandkids:
"I know that someday she will be old enough to read and hear the speeches where he says 'my six grandchildren' and just leaves out that there's a seventh."
