country. but sometimes it s not as exciting to talk about the economy. right? because we have a lot of other things to talk about. ah, there it is, kate. not as exciting to talk about the economy. that s it in a nut shshell. first of all, on this issue about the condition of american workers, look, obviously from the first day the first day i started working with donald trump, the first time i met him, he said, i want to cause power i want policies that will help elevate the wages and salaries and conditions of middle class and working class workers. bob, that s why that number on wages is an exciting one. you are now finally seeing wages rise after ten years when they didn t rise, second of all, how about the consumer confidence numbers, have you the highest in 18 years, americans are feeling good about things. i don t have an explanation for why the republicans don t want
there was a cnn polling in some key states. in arizona and florida. immigration is now on the rise in some, in one state the most important issue when it comes to republican voters. yes, you are talking about progressive young voters. but you also need to appeal to those who might be republican voter who might be disenchanted with what they hear from the president. but when you see those poll numbers, the fact that immigration is on the rise is an important issue. are you concerned, even though you obviously disagree with him, that the president s message on immigration is sticking. well, it may or may not. i don t know. we ll find out soon enough. but i would say to those older people, for example, who support the president, remember that two years ago when he ran for office, trump is a candidate told you that he would not cut social security medicare and medicaid. take a look at his last budget a trillion dollar cut in medicaid,
republican or whatever the case maybe. something bigger than that. in this case the task fell to the vice president. it did. and unfortunately the president didn t rise to the occasion. which has been the expectation that i think we as a nation has had for every previous president and want expectation i would hope we maintain for every other president that will come after donald trump. here you have the late senator john mccain a noble man. it wasn t a perfect man in his own words. he had noble aspirations about the country. about the future. and noble aspirations about what it means to be a politician and public servant and the importance of bipartisan. and that s something lacking today. that i think most in the country would like to see a return to. so it s my hope that during this time as we reflect upon the life and legacy of senator mccain that hopefully in his moment of quietude.
that he said that weren t true on camera. he is not particularly proud of that. isn t that a change of heart only after his offices are raided and he realizes he is facing possible serious jail time? sure. but when we talked, it was mostly about his feelings about mr. trump, his positions on issues, his conduct of the presidency and what i found after quite a long period of time talking to him, a sincere conviction that mr. trump represented a danger to the country. and would i help him tell his story which i guess i m known as a crisis manager to get facts out and to no matter what you ve done up to a point to take responsibility for your mistakes. but i mean that is such a huge change of heart for this guy. he was the guy that said he would take a bullet for him. anything mr. he was on cnn
which is, i mean, if lanny davis is saying that michael cohen is unburdened. he doesn t care about immunity. he wants to speak the truth. can he just speak the truth? sure. i mean he s raising money for people to pay him to speak the truth and fund him. can he just hold a press conference? he could. he is also under the thumb of the prosecutors at this point. and they may not want him to go public at this point. i mean they may want they may continue their investigation. they don t want his story out there. that s possibility. you mean the mueller prosecutors? mueller prosecutors or the southern district. that s where his case is. right. so i don t know what the play has been between cohen and the prosecutors. certainly as a legal matter, there is nothing stopping him from telling a story right now. professor, you said the white house, that the assertion the white house made that president committed no crime here, i mean, do you think michael cohen
