alice, but, you know, i had to challenge you on some of the things. that s okay. i m used to. i get a hat for all of that. i was going to say i was going to sell it on ebay. thanks, you guys. don t miss the ax files with david axelrod s special guest, john carry. michael cohen admitting that he paid to rig polls in favor of the president. and he says trump told him to do it. the reporter who broke the story joins me next. one third of our classic crust is made with cauliflower but that s not stopping anyone o, that s good!
think she d leave the country. why would you leave the country on a government shutdown and you re speaker of the house? i think the president s decision to disclose the speaker heading to a war zone was completely and utterly irresponsible in every way. why would she leave the country speaker of the government. didn t the president go to a war zone during a government shutdown? just check. it s absolutely no coincidence this happened the day after pelosi and what was also a nakedly political move to be honest scheduled the president reschedule the state of the union blaming the shutdown. and of course there s her opposition to the president s wall. i m not for a wall. i m not for any wall. so many questions about all of this. in his letter the president called pelosi s trip to the war zone during the shutdown a public relations event, which is interesting coming from the man who just last month as i said took a trip to a war zone during
he is not practicing law. he s practicing politics. and don, you re exactly right. we have the lawyers that are representing this president and trying this case with mueller in the court of law and then we have rudy giuliani who s trying the case in the court of public opinion. the problem is the way this story has transgressed over the last year and a half to no collusion, this is fake news, this is hoax, to we don t believe to the best of our knowledge there s collusion to there s no collusion to now, well maybe there s collusion but the president didn t know about it. last night for the first time we had trump s base sitting at home in the recliners wearing their maga hats watching that doing the cuomo brow saying what the heck did he just say? that s where we have the problem. and the fact they re moving the goal posts on this very important key factor in this mueller investigation, in my view, indicates maybe they know
president. this guy never pays his debts. i want to see his tax return and the very next she s like well, listen, he s a good guy and he s the best that we have. listen, the whole michael cohen thing about the polls, you did an interview of trump, so did i. every time i went to an interview with him you know what he did? he d hand me a poll. i have it on good authority he paid good money for them. that and because we re suckers. he realized if he got his name out there, if he was doing good in the polls then we would talk about him, we would report on him. if he wasn t doing well in the polls then why would be care because he s not a contender. so what he did he strategized, paid somebody to rig the polls for him so that we could continue to talk about him and amplify his message. one, i agree with you 100% that is part of this particular
people get frustrated, you know what it is. i don t know what it is. listen, i m okay with that. i m okay with that because you know what? you cannot be an echo for one side of these kinds of situations. now, we re not talking about the mueller probe. people get upset because on the shutdown look, i think the democrats and republicans should not be leaving for a recess. they should try and make a deal. i don t like they were going to go on trip for the recess. pelosi has high ground on the shutdown. the president says she owns it on national tv, but she didn t have to do that with the state of the union. she s playing his game, that s what i was pointing out. but on this i don t want to jump to a conclusion that the president is somehow too close to russia in a way that s compromising this country. it s too ugly a suggestion. i ll say again, this is not about both sides. this is about truth, justice and the american way. there is no truth in this. in politics there is always
