the fifth time since labor day. what hallie is reporting is what we were discussing is that the original gambit by the trump foundation folks is to say, fine, we ll close down. this dispute was over how to do that. reading from the new material we have from the new york a.g., they say in accomplishes a key goal of the enforcement lawsuit against the trump foundation that they can, quote, only dissolve under judicial and only distribute remaining assets to reputable organizations approved by my office. even if you re not a lawyer, you may remember there s a lot of drama every time donald trump claims he s going to give money to charity or veterans, it doesn t really go. now any of that money has to be judicially overseen and approved by the new york a.g. it s not really trump s money anymore. to build on one more point of interest, this is the civil place, which is not as big a deal, but the assertion here that there was campaign illegali illegality can be, can be criminal wooch
kislyak. he is being sentenced for lying to the fbi, making false statements, and the special counsel s office, they re in the courtroom, representatives from the special counsel s office inside that courtroom because general flynn has been cooperating with that investigation for upwards of at least a year. we continue to keep a very close eye on those courtroom proceedings. we continue to keep a very close eye on what the new york attorney general has described as a shocking pattern of illegality that was willful and repeated. the a.g. talking about the trump foundation that was dissolved here, reportedly within the last 20 minutes or so, a stipulation resolving the foundation under judicial supervision. essentially both parties agreeing to shut it down and give the money to charities approved by a judge. keeping an yay eye on that stor and the other big story on this
welcome back to our studio. what do you make of his choice of those who words, corruption and cruelty? they re very simple words. they re very true. and they go to the heart of what s going to be a problem for this administration, because it is a lot of corruption. just people at the trough, for money, simple corruption. and it gets you know, sleazy, congressmen on the white house lawn, getting phone calls to dump stock. and then you have cruelty, a country that is intentionally cruel to people. and just character, a lot of people lying to us. our friend steve schmidt sees this as a lack of rigor, a lack of standards in all tiers of the trump operation. you know, when you set out to destroy norms, norms get destroyed.
we have norms in our society, which is, you know, you don t sit at the trough trying to take money and being greedy and being corrupt. that s why people voted for trump at first, they thought he was going to drain the swamp. the clintons got in trouble because they seemed greedy and there was a taint of corruption to the clinton foundation. so a lot of people voted against her, voted for trump. and you have him now and his whole administration, his family, trying to make money off of the presidency. and then you have that unnecessary bullying and cruelty. and here is what i think i think it will get to the heart of the problem, because americans deep down inside, they re not cruel people. we re not corrupt people. and we try to at least feel we have some character. and so i think most americans, you know, certainly most republicans aren t cruel, they
in place the messaging that you want to bring it home, right? it connects all those pieces. i call it the messenger, the message, and the money. and that combination is one that works to empower the base to go out and deliver that vote. in this case i was going to say, in this case, the fact that you have a red district like this that is that close, that the president won by 11 points in 2016, is a real problem. it will impact the money. it will impact the message. and it certainly will impact the messengers around the country who have to make that delivery. and forgive, michael, shannon, pick up right on what michael just said. you ve got this barn burner of a race in ohio that should be done and dusted, safe republican district, right into that we have the arrest of collins, 27th district of new york. it can t look good. tell us about the folks you ve been talking to. well, i mean, within the white house, and within president trump s outer circle, they are certainly aware that
