i didn t mean to beat you up, 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. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage. and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com.
and would be good friends when this is all over. the president reportedly complained to his aides he didn t realize barr and mueller were so close. which is odd since barr said he told the president exactly that. well, the best way to get the president s attention is to talk to him via television, to come on one of these shows. the wall street journal reporting that the president s nemesis and former keeper of secrets, michael cohen, paid thousands of dollars to the head of a small technology company in 2015 to rig online polls in favor of then candidate trump. surprise. now, where have i heard about these rigged polls before? watch the polls because this is part of the crooked system. it s part of the rigged system. you see these phony polls. they put out these phony polls. they do these phony polls,
in the military, you are loyal to the constitution. we take that, the first day of any new military member joining the service and take an oath to defend the constitution of the united states and that s it. you don t care what political party is in charge. you have to be careful about how you relate to politics. you know you can cheer for a president or certainly applaud the president as part of your chair of command, what you can t do is go in that fine line of being part of his/her inner circle because you defend the nation as a whole. not as a political party or something the president is trying to do. colonel lieghton, the president was in iraq, does that mean he was on a p.r. excursion? well, you can certainly make the case that he was and

main hammer points with the 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 strategiesed, paid somebody to rig the polls for him so that we could continue to talk about him and
