this for us at the white house. kaitlan, i want to start with your brand-new reporting on rudy giuliani. what are you hearing? john and poppy, the tide seems to be turning for rudy giuliani, just 30 weeks on to the job and the president is disappointed with the way that things have been handled. he was initially satisfied with rudy giuliani s performance, especially even after that bombshell announcement on fox news that president had reimbursed michael cohen for the payment made to stormy daniels, but we re now told that the president has essentially soured on rudy giuliani s media blitz. he s done dozens of interviews in the last week or so with several outlets continuing to talk about stormy daniels. we now know that the president is very displeased with what the coverage of that has been, especially since a lot of the coverage is focused on the contradictions and the statements between the president in the past and what rudy giuliani is saying now. we re told he s especially irke
about reproductive sites, lgbt issues, globalization. i heard practically every single language under the sun. i saw parents marching with parents. it was a special moment. i have to tell you the video that we have been running on a kind of constant loop on the left-hand side of the screen that we over the course of the day have added locations to, we were just watching denver. crowds that in parts of downtown denver i have never seen before to my knowledge. crowds, the likes of which in chicago i have never seen. look at the streets of denver. look at the plaza. boise, idaho, in the snow. paris, france. london. limited crowd sizes but as i said there s no electoral votes in paris, france, or london in this election.
