It took place. Did you know at the time about that meet something. No, i didnt know anything about it. It must have been a very important meeting, because i never even heard that. No one told you a word, nothing . I know we talked about this on the plane a bit. No, nobody told me. Sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Deep cuts there from haberman and schmidt. Thats not what Michael Cohen claims, alleging that he and several others were present when thencandidate donald trump gave his nod of approval for the meeting to move forward. That contradicts repeated denials from donald trump jr. And others in Donald Trumps orbit. Did you tell your father anything about this . No. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. The president said he became aware of it very recently, right before this came out, and thats when he was notified.

Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Bolder balderson is better on crime and taxes and ordinary issues and the question is whether the trump base will respond to that a oppose to the more personality consult that surrounds trump as an individual. If the numbers froze right now, if the democrats even with an l in this race still have won because it went from double digit down to Single Digits as least as of todays polling. Well, they will definitely spin it as a win. And you could argue that the fact that they are narrowing the gap so dramatically on a race on the seat that has been held by a republican for decades is a big deal. There are lots of other races like that actually more favorable to democrats across the country come november, they only need 23 seats in order to flip the house. So they would probably take this feeling confident, take this game plan to some of these other races. Republican base or certain portions of republican voters, he h
Interviews with political figures and news updates. Public. And i think with giuliani and sekulow now, what theyre trying to do is trying to put pressure on mueller to wrap it up. Theyre putting this false deadline out there that he has to finish by September 1st because, you know, thats department of Justice Policy, to not come close to an election. Thats a great Ov Oversimplification of what the department of Justice Policy is. There is no absolute September 1st deadline, particularly when youre talking about the president , who is not even on the ballot in november. So its not even a clearcut connection to the elections. And even if it were, mueller does not have to stop investigating September 1st. He just might need to stay away from charging certain people or doing overt acts that might impact an election. So giuliani once again is just making stuff up and trying to put this false deadline and pressure on mueller. And youre right, it has an impact on the public. But i dont think
phobe but they re sick of what happened to their country they don t recognize it anymore. so this was a great, great conversation. i m glad you had the extended time to get out of the president what he was able to give us in terms of sheer just strong contrast between what presidency is like under donald trump and what it s like under joe biden. and the choice couldn t be clearer. glam one of the thing i noticed when the interview when he talked abouted about what he had done and what s happened to the country excuse me. he s sad there s a sadness in how much we ve gone backwards especially in western and china hemisphere it was really a great conversation thank you so much for joining us giving us your thoughtings on it too. thank you governor appreciate your time always. thank you.
