been running interviews all morning is there are people out there, goth employees who can t pay their mortgages and put food in the fridges. speaking to multiple white house officials earlier this week they are really putting a lot of energy into winning this pr war. i talked with the white house official who said that vice president pence was the person who was tasked with leading the charge on changing people s republican lawmakers on the hill rhetoric toward humanitarian crisis. that s a term you have seen the president tweet out three times today. at the end of the day, i don t think that public opinion is really being swayed by this at all. thank you so much for weighing in. i appreciate it. stealing the spotlight and bringing much needed energy to the party.
he will wage a pr war. you have this speech tomorrow night, then he will dispatch senior administration o if i recalls to the hill on wednesday and then he will follow it up we don t expect the president to declare a national emergency until tomorrow. we re getting that from a white house official, but because there is no deal on the horizon and you have a pressure point on friday, friday is the day these 080,000 affected workers will miss their first federal paycheck, that is why you re seeing the politics and posturing hit warp speed. thank you, let s go to the hill, is there any meaningf meaningfultivity activity
it goes on and on with this guy. look. the steel wall that s 100 feet long, people want to come into this country will walk around that wall. they ll figure it out. they re not going to climb over a wall that is a couple hundred feet. that s the craziest thing i ever heard of. a 100 in the wall. there is multi-hundred mile border. the most people quoted mr. reagan, mr. goes, tear down this wall. now we are trying to build a wall. the reason we re building a wall, we don t want people not white coming across the southern border. that s what this is about. maybe sex he was losing the pr war, the they went on tv last fight after defending after a brutal day politically. almost him he has blanketed the airways non-stomt here is some of the show they put on. if democrats don t want the government to shut down, support
him to do it, anyway. that s false. this man, you ll ever know what the truth is. he lies to fit the situation he s in. it s not a crime, george. paying $130,000 to stormy whatever, and paying 130 to another is not a crime. is this more of a pr war than anything else, and who do you think wins the court of public opinion? it s definitely a pr war. you re seeing rudy giuliani and trump allies try to discredit michael cohen and others involved in the russia investigation. but i saw president trump not that long ago referring reporters to his lawyer, michael cohen. when asked about the stormy daniels payments. so i do think it is hard for president trump to totally distance himself from michael cohen who was such a strong ally of his for so long. i do think that michael cohen does have credibility issues, so i think in a trial or in something like that where he s under oath, you know, he has had
giuliani, have been waging a pr war, basically, against mueller s team for months. trying to undercut public confidence in the investigation before any final report comes out. now that he sees that manafort is cooperating and had already been found guilty by a jury on eight counts in august and the public is feeling better about the mueller probe, i think that has to have president trump worried. kevin, to you, what does it say in the end that manafort ended up trusting mueller over the president? i don t know if it s even that he trusts bob mueller so much as it is that he faces reality. he was found guilty by a jury of his peers and bob mueller s team is at the end of the day, that is really kind of how this whole entire investigation is moving. michael cohen flipped relatively quickly. for paul manafort is took some time. at the end fd day, this is an investigation that intensified
