good evening, everyone. we begin the reidout with a thing we really haven t seen in a long, long, long time. a forthright, open, democratic, dare i say progressive defense of government. now, i am old enough to remember bill clinton responding to the reagan and reaganomics by saying us too. the era of big government is over but courtesy of the democrats. that was a political calculation that i guess made sense at the time. reagan was still popular and sainted by republicans and so-called reagan democrats. and when president obama came along and was faced with this massive economic hole that george w. bush left the country in, he too felt constrained to couch the response in terms of, not spending too much money, keeping the economy, rescuing stimulus package under $1 trillion and kind of downplaying anything that looked like big government. and not too much braggadocio, especially from the black president. oh, god, no, no, no. well, enter joe biden. fresh off his prime-time
Credit for 500,000. He basically doubles the amount he can borrow against his apartment. He later uses that money, he says, to pay Stormy Daniels in october 2016. And Rudy Giuliani has told us there are several other issues that he settled for trump and that he was reimbursed for. It is possible, though we dont know how he spent the remaining amount in his increased credit line that he may have used that for some of these other issues and thats one of the things thats under investigation. Thats such a Key Line Saying mr. Cohen resolved other problems similarly for mr. Trump. How significant is that . We have Rudy Giuliani giving a variety of figures about how much money was used here, when it was used. Walk us three visavis the size of those payments. Rudy giuliani said he was getting north of 400,000 for a year of Retainer Payments and
that was to reimburse him for things he took care of. It leaves open the possibility of up to another couple hundred thousand dollars that he might hav
ultimate opinion or order. that kind of questioning if i m a defense attorney in that courtroom, i m thinking this motion, does it actually have a chance because most of these motions to dismiss are the longest of long shots. i want you to weigh in on the cleverness or outlandishness of the request that we ve seen paul manafort make here. what did you make of what that judge, that reagan appointee had to say. he s been on the bench for a long time. what did you make of the line of his questions yesterday? i thought it was fair. i agreed with the judge s comments. were they appropriate or necessary? perhaps not. i think his inquiry on the indictment and the russian investigation was fair, especially if the issue before him of the question of scope. when rod rosenstein appointed robert mueller, he was given broad authority to investigate and coordinate any leaks or any
when you take him literally and all this stuff. really, i m sorry this is coming across to me as ludicrous. when i heard corey lewandowski say, you people in the media frankly, the words matter. lie of the year was barack obama. that was a case and it cost him, cost his party a lot of political problems. words mattered for george w. bush. he got accused of lying to get into war. can they really expect to govern this way? well, the kind of outlandishness and exaggerated way he expressed things was part of the key to his appeal to a lot of his voters who are going to have to get used to a president of the united states who is going to communicate differently. more direct. more informal. it s occasionally going to be bizarre. but the one thing i think we ne to focus on is the words are going to matter more. but what s going to matter most in a couple months in the performance. if he delivers a more robust economy and there s not a blowup overseas we should never start being appall
bush. he got accused of lying to get into war. can they really expect to govern this way? well, the kind of outlandishness and exaggerated way he expressed things was part of the key to his appeal to a lot of his voters who are going to have to get used to a president of the united states who is going to communicate differently. more direct. more informal. it s occasionally going to be bizarre. but the one thing i think we need to focus on is the words are going to matter more. but what s going to matter most in a couple months in the performance. if he delivers a more robust economy and there s not a blowup overseas all these controversies will be gone. i am sorry, but we should not stop being appalled at the the serial disrespect this man has for the facts. there s a man headed to the white house that has a relationship to the truth that is unbefitting of our country. the other sort of latent thing we re talking about whether we take him literally or seriously is how dangerous
