sharing information, polling information with the russians. the earlier instance where russians were offering through one of the campaigns papadopoulos information, to me, that s all evidence. where that evidence leads in terms of a conclusion and we still have other key people to come back, i m going to reserve judgment until i m finished, but there s no one that could factually say there s not plenty of evidence of collaboration or communications between trump organization and russians. there is a report in the washington post that indicates that your committee and the house intelligence committee that one other angle to michael cohen s testimony has to do with a pardon. or pardon shopping. and what more can you tell us about the issue? are you investigating whether a pardon offer was serious or not to michael cohen? chuck, i cannot comment on what went on in the classified setting. why? i say this because at some point it s starting to become, you know, it comes across as in
122-minute speech to conservative activists on saturday, railing against the special counsel. now robert mueller [ applause ] never received a vote. and his own justice department for leaving mueller in place. and as you know, the attorney general says i m going to recuse myself. you put the wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn t be there and all of a sudden they re trying to take you out with [ bleep ], okay? with [ bleep ]. he also attacked his former lawyer michael cohen. he s a stone cold killer. he s a brutal man. i am no longer your fixer, mr. trump. in a riveting public spectacle this week cohen turned to his former boss and signaled a new phase in the russia probe. cohen alleged that president trump paid hush money to adult film actress stormy daniels, a crime while in office. there are 11 checks that i
j. pod? okay. so michael cohen, if the fdny, southern district of new york or whoever hadn t broken down the door of his hotel room in the regency hotel, you know, in the summer of 2018, would he have said these words that he said this week? of course not. he threw himself on the mercy of the world that hates trump having spent ten years doing nothing but defending trump. so his, you know, his moralistic attack on trump has to be taken with, you know, not a grain of salt, but a mountain of salt. having said that, the weird thing i think about the cohen testimony is that despite jim jordan saying he was a terrible liar, in some ways he helped trump on the larger question of russia and impeachment by saying that trump did not formally did not say i want you to lie to congress by saying that he had
or honest on russia. among fox viewers, 84% of fox viewers until the president has been truthful among msnbc viewers and cnn viewers, that s 1%. these are small samples and we can debate that, but that does tell you something major. what does it say to you, tread? it tells us that you get your reality from what channel you watch. what does that mean for how this does that mean that the michael cohen hearing while as significant as it was, bill, as far as maybe the legal case and everything that we re worried about here that the country s made up their mind or that the partisans have made up their mind? i hate to say this since you do a weekly show, but one of the main things you learn as a pollster is, please, our country comes to a steady state and it s very hard to change. all of the russia news and all of the korea and all of the stuff, i think we can do the same survey next week and the numbers would be within a point of each other. and you just have to in some ways ignore
until there s a heck of a lot more fact right. this country is nowhere near where it needs to be to impeach the president. like cooper said in the previous segment, i think most partisans have decided what the truth is right now and that s in terms of the cohen and mueller report, we ll have to see what actually happens in the mueller report for people to have a reaction to the mueller report. there is a group of people that ignore social media all week long. fred yang and bill mcinturff, thank you very much. later in the broadcast, the collapse of the nuclear disarmament talks with north korea so now what happens? ent th korea so now what happens? but allstate actually helps you drive safely. with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast. .and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can t do anything about that.
