trump. he'll ask him if this is really the committee's beginning of an impeachment investigation and later, mitch mcconnell has given up on trying to save president trump's emergency decoloration, in the senate. the democrats have enough votes in the senate to win the vote on the resolution to eliminate the president's decoloration, of emergency and at the end of this hour tonight, a special comment on why the president says things in front of cameras that even i cannot say here on television. >>> breaking news, the wall street journal is saying michael cohen's attorney raised the severe little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if

trump. >> and leading off our discussion tonight is lanny davis, an attorney for michael cohen. lanny davis, thank you for joining us tonight. appreciate it. i want to start with the pardon which we just introduced here. the "wall street journal" reporting was not that michael cohen personally requested a pardon but his lawyers at some point discussed the possibility of a pardon with president trump's lawyers and that rudy giuliani for one left open the possibility. is that accurate reporting? >> yes, the time period is what needs to be stressed. michael cohen lied for donald trump for ten years and is going to prison in part because of a lie to congress as well as the coverup scheme that donald trump is still paying for or was paying for when you showed those checks. the statement that michael made was after he made a decision and i think i was part of that when he decided to express his shame for his prior lies when he was certainly looking at the option of pardon when they were dangling t

donald trump and the trump organization. and all of the rest of those payoff checks to michael cohen come from that donald trump checking account with only one signature on those checks, only the signature of donald trump. was allen weissleberg no longer willing to sign those checks? why did allen weissleberg stop signing those reimbursement checks to michael cohen after robert mueller was appointed special prosecutor? surely someone in the house intelligence committee today behind closed doors asked michael cohen that question. here's what michael cohen had to say after that closed-door hearing today. >> the hearings went very, very well. i believe that all of the members were satisfied with the statements and the responses that i gave to them. i told them that any additional information that they would want, they should feel comfortable to reach out to my counsel and i would continue to cooperate to the fullest extent of my capabilities. >> joining us now, friend of michael cohen, donny deutsch, msnbc contributor. he texte

trump. "a damaged soul and a disordered personality, whether the worst scenarios come to pass or not is right now unknowable. what we do know is the president is a person who seems to draw energy and purpose from maliciousness and transgressive acts, creating enemity among people, and for attacking the weak, the honorable and even the dead. donald trump is not well. and as long as he's president, our nation is not safe." >> well, look, i don't know how unwell he is, but it is clear from his behavior as phil said over the past three years, not just with john mccain, he cannot seem to let anything go when the slight seems to be to him. he takes this personally. this isn't a fight over what he saw john mccain as doing as bad for the country or improper policy. he went against him. he voted against him on that health care bill. he went against him when he, you know, had deemed to reveal the steele dossier. he went against him -- >> the fbi already had. >> which the fbi already had. and also, it

trump's tax returns. republicans attack cohen. >> you lied. >> he lies. >> you are a liar. >> liar, liar, pants on fire. >> and president trump tells a conservative conference what he thinks of all the investigators. >> and you will of a sudden they're trying to take you out with [ bleep ]. >> i will talk to the vice-chairman of the senate intelligence committee, democrat mark warner and to the ranking republican on the house oversight committee, jim jordan. >>> plus democrats and activists are arguing over impeaching the president. >> impeachment of this corrupt and lawless president is a first step. >> impeachment is a divisive issue in our country and let us see what the facts are. >> debating purity tests for democratic members of congress and disagreeing over what's more important to them in 2020. a candidate who shares their views or one who simply can beat president trump. >>> and finally, no deal. the president walks away without an agreement with kim jong-un on nukes and sanctions. >> sometimes y

and the worst socialism in america is trump golf socialism. donald trump's socialism. that's tonight's "last

is it donald trump, one of the trump children, or just more to pile on to paul manafort? >> no, it's absolutely donald trump. i remember when he flipped, somebody said, well, he used to carry the president's phone, so he knows exactly what the president was doing during this whole time period. there are still roles in court documents that we've seen rolled out that we don't know who played that role. for example, who is the one that was directed to get roger stone to go reach out to wikileaks to find out what they were publishing? stone himself said that was probably rick gates. so that ties stone right next to trump and that witness, that person, would know who ordered him to tell stone to go reach out to wikileaks. that's just one example. but there are going to be tons for gates. >> very lastly, carol, inwonder if there's a sense that you have that, even if some of these guys are helping out and cooperating, they still did a lot of bad stuff. is it just a layman's misunderstanding to say that it seems like most of the people who have been sentenced so far have gotten p

trump jr., with trump's sister who is very low profile at events in washington. with elaine chao, the transportation secretary, wilbur ross, the commerce department secretary. it couldn't be more of a classic case of pay to play. give her money and somehow she gets you in the room with these people. her clientele seems to be chinese business executives. in fact, there was a chinese business executive who led a company that lid ledid electric that came to mar-a-lago new year's looking to meet trump. instead met members of the family because trump was in washington for the shutdown. he told yahoo! finance news separately in a story that came out previously that a p.r. company set up a meeting for him. he didn't identify the company. it wasn't in the story. seems to have been her company. it seems this massage parlor owner previously has been able to get her clients into mar-a-lago and into meetings in washington with members of the trump administration for pay. >> to stay with you for a moment, david, ms. yang's facebook page is offline. but before he was taken dow

trump let shine know he wasn't happy. according to gabe sherman, one theory of bill shine's exit is, quote, that trump pushed shine out now because house democrats are looking to investigate the house's ties to fox. tensions were likely especially high this week after "the new yorker's" jane mayer rocked the white house with her deeply reported piece on the close ties between the fox -- between fox news and the white house. mayer wrote that as a fox news executive, several lawsuits named bill shine as complicit in a workplace culture of cover-ups, payoffs and victim intimidation. and politico is reporting tonight that trump had complained to allies about shine being tangled up in those lawsuits. past trump staffers are also coming back to haunt the president. his former campaign chairman is a convicted felon, and today the president actually says he feels bad for paul manafort. >> i feel very badly for paul manafort. i think it's been a very, very tough time for him. >> the president of the united states says he feels bad

will he meet trump. that, for all intents and purposes, is a campaign stop for netanyahu and once again will look like trump is campaigning for netanyahu. could there be more in store there? before this election campaign? that's certainly a possibility. as for reaction, one european diplomat tells cnn trump is essentially once again ignoring international law and u.n. security council resolutions and from that perspective, it doesn't seem they're all that surprised. we're certain to hear consternation from lebanon, iran, iraq, no doubt. what's the kind of reaction we get from the de facto anti-iran states, sawed a arabia, are they legitimately angry about this one as they try to seek better relations with the u.s.? >> we'll have more on this later in the situation room. a very important development today. we'll stay on top of it. >> meanwhile, a powerful congressional democrat says white house officials have used personal e-mail. and in the case of jared kushner, private messaging app for government busi

trump in recent years. the bank is already the subject of two congressional investigations as we just heard from katie porter, the financial services committee is looking at deutsch bank and the house intelligence committee is investigating deutsch bank. after this break, we will be joined by experts on this story. david k. johnston, he is a pulitzer prize winning tax attorney of the "new york times," and he's written articles for the trump businesses. david heimrich is the reporter of the "new york times." this is the person we want to hear from about this trump business. we will be right back with them. >> a major story broke late last night. >> we begin with new data this morning. >> we begin with new das morning. guys do whatever it takes to deal with shave irritation. so, we re-imagined the razor with the new gillette skinguard. it has a unique guard between the blades. that's designed to reduce irritation during the shave. because we believe all men deserve a razor just for them. the best a man can ge

trump. i am going to prison. i have never asked for nor would i accept a pardon from president trump. >> okay. so cohen's lawyer lanny davis, you see him there sitting behind michael cohen in that testimony said last night that after the raid cohen had been open to a pardon, quote during that time period he directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon at one point with trump lawyer rudy giuliani as well as with other lawyers advising trump. davis said that did not contradict what cohen said in his testimony because at that time he was talking about the period where he had made his decision to tell the truth and that knew michael cohen authorize me to say publicly he wouldn't accept a pardon if donald trump offered it. when "new york times" asked rudy giuliani about whether cohen sought a pardon giuliani said several lawyers and reporters have asked him about whether the president will pardon a number of people in the russia investigation. giuliani tells nbc news that these conversations go as far ba

do you now look at the way the trump campaign was operating, your role in it and, indeed, donald trump then walking away from you and denying that he even knew who you were and tweeting things like "few people knew that young low—level volunteer named george who has already proven to be a liar" — do you look back on all of that and feel that you have been utterly let down by trump and his closest associates? quite frankly, the way my sentencing memorandum was written and crafted and was designed, if i was the president, i would have done the exact same thing. in this memo, there were names such as the niece of vladimir putin hacked emails, mysterious professors, diplomats. so, the way it was written, i would have certainly probably distanced myself the way he did. 0n the other hand, as evidence has been growing and is released and testimonies have been given by not only me, but senior members of the department ofjustice under the 0bama administration, you also now have trump allies, such as congressman mark meadows, congressman devin nunes, others in the administration and the medi

howie: what exactly did cohen prove about trump? the president walks away from his second sit-down withrun. -- certaindown with kim jong-un. president trump: we decided we wanted to walk. >> this was an embarrassing defeat for the president of the united states on the world stage. >> i think he did the right thing in walking away with no deal. my guess is donald trump invested way too much in terms of his personal relationship with kim. >> i think it's a positive step and not a setback. howie: does he deserve credit for rejecting a bad deal. nancy pelosi and alexandria ocasio-cortez warn moderate democrats after a gun control vote, they could face consequences. plus an exposee on facebook censors, they say they are so traumatized they are smoking dope, having sex in stairwells or embracing conspiracy theories. i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." [♪] cbs, nbc and abc in a rare move joined the cable news networks in airing the house testimony of the man who was donald trump's fixer for more than a decade. he'll be serving a 3-

>> the senators that voted with trump are afraid of trump. ted cruz included. and it came after a week of pretty intensive lobbying on the part of the white house to get enough republicans in line. vice president pence was meeting with senators. president trump was personally calling law maker over the weekend and this week. it was top priority for trump and he felt a vote with the democrats would be a betrayal by his own party. >> do you sense -- i think it was steve allen song, this is the start of something big. could this be something starting big as mutiny or is it a one off? >> i think it's a crack. i think your analogy of the grass in the sidewalk is bter. who's going to issue two vetoes. because they rebuked him on the war in yemen. you're starting to see a little independence. these guys are afraid of primaries, particularly people like tom tillis. i think on some of these issues you're starting to see a little but of independence and again i'm glad the twvl senators voted against this emergency declaration. but still when you think about it, there's n

i see the same thing about donald trump and trump supporters. and the democrats are in a tough spot condemning her as much as they should and taking action the way they should because they're pressured by the fact that you have what are considered rock star freshmen coming in. she's one of the first muslim women ever elected to congress. you know, she's on the cover of "rolling stone" magazine with nancy pelosi. you know, the old guard democrats are trying to balance out this progressive new wing coming in without upsetting that part of the base. but enough is enough. how many times does this woman have to say things that are anti-semitic before she pays a real consequence? i'm tired of the apologies over and over and then she turns around and does it again and doubles down on it, doesn't take responsibility. and then engages in what aboutism. if you're going to condemn donald trump and his supporters for the things that they have said and trafficked in, then you have to do the same thing for omar. and she in my opinion does not deserve a seat o

trump is. he is a racist, he is a con man, and he is a cheat. >> i began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and if the cancer was not removed, the president himself would be killed by it. >> do these conversion stories move americans? >> that's a good thought. what i was jolted by when dean came on the screen just now, remembering the thrill of those days. and as he said, you woke up and had to get your watergate fix right away. >> the people were hooked on it then the way they are today. >> yes, so. by the way, believed every word, just believed every word he said. >> i admire the way you did your show and the risks you took. i love that we can watch a lot of the old ones on amazon nowadays. we can learn a lot from the way you did it. for example, in a very racist america, you made a point of facilitating these conversations that were, at the time, groundbreaking. let's look at james baldwin on your show. >> the israelis think i've gone to the polls, or

trump before country. trump before the office of the president. trump before their own party's integrity. but when trump is long gone what will they be left with? in shielding donald trump what are they costing themselves? believe it or not michael cohen may have said it best this week. >> i'm responsible for your silliness because i did the same thing that you're doing now for ten years. i protected mr. trump for ten years. >> joining me to talk about all this is former weekly standard editor bill krystol. bill, look, i wasn't born yesterday. i get partisanship. i know parties protect their president. at what point do republicans say this might be a bridge too far for us? >> i think some of us said it a long time ago. some of us hope more republicans will say it. i think events in the real world whether the mueller report or economy or foreign policy could finally break republicans off. you put it well. they are not curious or doubtful or uncertain. they know what trump has done. they know he's a liar. they know a million things. why bother going

, trump is old news. as you said, a lot of people in his base think he's a liar. cohen is a new figure and people believe him more than they believe the president. for someone on his way to prison, that's remarkable. >> sure, but it's only 50%, right? so it is not -- >> i'm not sure you get 50% of anyone to agree on dinner anymore. >> i think it is a remarkable thing. he went in with such a deficit last week. that he ended up where he ended up is a large thing, i think possibly because he brought those documents. but you still have 35% who believe the president is more honest than michael cohen, and that is the 35% that is immovable. i don't think you could do anything and have that 35% move. what we saw last week was potentially the president committing crimes while in the oval office, right? that is a stunning thing. that 35% of the country still thinks that he is more credible than michael cohen is shocking, that 45% of the country still believe that he committed crimes while in office and hasn't moved

trump. one of his best stories about the president hating mccabe-- one of the best stories i've heard-- came out after comey was fired, right, when trump was so angry that he roasted mccabe about his wife losing a race for state senate. - trump demanded to know why comey was allowed to fly home on an fbi plane after he had been fired, these people said. mccabe told the president he hadn't been asked to authorize comey's flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it. the president was silent for a moment, then turned on mccabe, quote: "ask your wife how it feels to be a loser," trump said. mccabe replied, "okay, sir." trump hung up the phone. - he's mad at comey, right? he's mad at comey. so he insults mccabe's wife because she ran for a senate seat and lost? that's so messed up. especially since trump should know what it's like to have a wife who wants to run. come on! [laughter] and... [applause] and poor mccabe... [cheers and applause] poor mccabe in this whole thing-- he's so

and the trump organization. in the report itself, the accounting firm raises red flags. this has not been audited. these numbers come from donald trump. it's not numbers they have devised. there were departures from regular accounting rules. because of the significance and pervasiveness of the departures, they say that users of this financial statement should recognize that they might reach different conclusions about the financial condition of donald j. trump if they had access to a revised statement of financial conditions. you might come up way different valuation if you had underlying documents to support this, which the auditors don't. the auditors declined to comment. the trump organization declined to comment. >> he will monitor this. thank you very much. >>> joining us, senator chris koons. he served on the judiciary and foreign relations committees. thanks so much for joining us. as you know, the attorney general bill barr, he briefed the chairman of your senate judiciary committee, senator lindsey grah

trump and in fact i lied to mrs. trump about the purpose for this. this means your star witness is providing two different reasons for the payment. there can be two different reasons for a payment but the problem for them is going to be, and any case against the president ultimately, the president will be saying i suspect there was one reason for the payment and that was to keep it from my wife. prosecutors i suspect -- i used to say to my prosecutors all the time -- >> i'll let you finish. let me start. >> give him the time. >> if you were a prosecutor, governor, you would say hold on a second let me get this straight. this affair happened in 2005, 2006, it happened a decade before donald trump was running for president. and yet this hush money payment happened a decade later after the affair right before a presidential campaign was coming to an end. you would consider that to be a bit of a smoke gun. >> except, joe, that's when she threatened to go public. so you don't -- my guess is never having been involved in this myself personally, i'm just su

the decision not to indict donald trump, donald trump, jr., ivanka trump, jared kushner, the people who have been players in the muellergate situation. ben wittis wrote on friday that some of the things we know that there is a report, some kind of report as barr describes it quoting the relevant regulation, confidential report describing the prosecution or decisions he reached about the document we know little. barr said he's reviewing the document and may be in a position to advise congress of the conclusions as soon as this weekend. can you explain it in plain english for us? >> first of all, there is a basic form at justice for these decisions. these are the facts. this is the relevant law we looked at. this is who we looked at. these are the defenses and this is the conclusion. >> right. >> if mueller did that it's probably 400, 500 pages, i would guess. >> right. >> so when it comes to the president, the president had to have been declined because of the memo. the question is did mueller decline because of the memo or did he just decide there isn't enough evidence? that's what we n

>> trevor: wow, defending trump. "shouldn't take is sitting down." it is donald trump. i think he's taking everything sitting down the same person who even walks sitting down. i mean, that's who we're talking about. you know, guys, as much as we make fun of kellyanne conway, you've got to admit this sucks for her, right. her husband is publicly beefing with her boss. that's not normal. and on top of all of that, everyone on cable news is trying to give her marriage advice >> would you be a little upset with your husband if he did what we've seen from george conway? >> who would work for a boss that calls your husband a lose tore millions and millions of people? >> i think it's probably hurting his wife's relationships inside the building. >> i cannot understand how you live in that marriage, and he walks in and says, "i'm going to hammer your boss again tonight in public." i don't get that one >> i think she doesn't have any choice. at some point she's going to have to decide between donald trump and her husband. this is not work out >> trevor: okay, okay, okay. that's

don trump jr. and ivanka trump. >> michael cohen confirmed hush money payments in august indicating president trump to buy the silence of storm daniels and karen mcdougall. one of the reimbursements has the president's signature. michael cohen's testimony gives democratic lawmaker aes road map for future hearings. he provided them with a long list of individuals who may have more insight into potential crimes committed by donald trump or the trump organization. >> allen weiselberg, david pecker, larry levine or dillon howard. ron lieberman. don trump jr. and ivanka trump. >> lawmakers equally listening, taking notes. >> president trump's former business associate will testify before his committee in open session on march 14th. as we timely hear from some of these individuals, a big question remains will public testimony shift public opinion? robert blizzard said public opinion of mr. trump had proved remarkably fixed over time. he dismissed the possibility that mr. cohen would shift opinion on eith

so many points of contact between team russia and team trump and the russians like that june 2016 trump tower meeting. are we going to find out the facts behind the meeting? >> we may. to repeat, the content of what these findings are we don't know. the only news today is that port of the investigation is closed and others are going on. no more indictments. that means mueller decided not to, you know, go to the hill, the constitutional hill and go after trump or possibly his family members and there was nothing that mueller wanted to do that the department of justice did not allow him to do. i think that was a key point in barr's findings. nobody should claim defeat or victory. this is the end of one piece and it goes to the sdny and political arena and the big question, which is russia. >> so ranado, how about the president crafting the misleading statement about the meeting? he said it was primarily about adoptions, remember? is that going to be part of the report? >> i do. without a doubt. mueller asked for documents and talked to witnesses about those issues. i would be surprised if

trump. he was a mr. trump guy. he was not in the top tier so to speak or wasn't in the inner circle. he did his job. >> would he sign off on things without mr. trump's knowledge? >> i do not believe that anyone would sign off on anything major without it. >> that's the way the organization worked? >> absolutely. some level of approval yes. >> most organizations aren't -- people delegate, that's not the way the trump -- >> it's not that big of an organization. people tend to think about it as this massive company. >> he talks about 10,000 employees. >> when i with was there there was only 7 or 8 people in a group but suddenly people can do their own thing and people have responsibilities. >> but when he talks about 10,000 employees he's talking about grounds dekeepers at golf courses. >> dealers at a casino, i don't know if he has any more or not. >> thank you. >> we want to check in with chris. look who i have with me. it's my son. >> i saw your son playing ball earlier in the hall. >> i know. >> i would have offer

there's a way to take on trump and a way to not take on trump. trump is going to remind everybody why they don't like him all campaign lawn. i'm totally neutral, i really am. but i think klobuchar provided a great way to deal with trump. i wonder how donald's hair would look in the snow storm? and then back to job, climate change and so forth. that's what we have to do. do this as obama did to trump and let him give his own message because his message is not pop -- popular with americans. >> hillary clinton, one of the smartest people stands there giving a debate and trump comes like a colossal beast. what do you do in weird situations like that? >> i'm not going to share them on television but i think hillary should have waved her arms around a lot. >> let me ask you about biden's decision to be reactively and instinctively didn't like being accused as being as progressive as the newbies. can he say i'm a center left guy. stupid to vote for the war in iraq but i'm not going to say i'm the most left candidate here. >> i don't thing this is about

and donald trump jr. we know that a.m. sxi david pecker have entered into non-prosecution agreements or immunity agreements. that leaves president trump and donald trump jr. as potential targets of that investigation. maybe other people we don't know about yet. but the fact the judge made that finding and continued to keep that part redacted, which requires a showing before they're going do that, suggests to me that there are individuals under investigation that could include those two that are yet to be charged. >> and barb, we tend to forget at least on our part, we tend to not repeat often enough, southern district of new york during cohen's plead in court, didn't they say that he admitted to crimes that were done at the direction of individual 1, later identified as our president? >> yes. it says even in the document itself that it was at the direction of and in coordination with individual 1. people say that is akin to saying he's an unindicted co-conspirator there. then we run up against this whole

trump. and that tonight is where we get to the crime part of this story, the maybe crime part, or at least the crime question. this property in bedford, new york, seven springs. as you can see, it's a big mansion. it's just over 200 acres. mr. trump bought the property in 1995. when trump bought it in 1995, he paid $7.5 million for it. and there's good evidence, reliable public records evidence that that property, that silver -- sorry, that seven springs property has appreciated nicely over time. "the washington post" reports that by 2013, so less than 20 years after trump first bought it in 1995, that property had more than doubled in value. it was assessed in 2013 at $18.9 million. nice, right? the local paper, "the west chester county journal news" says by 2017 the process -- the property was assessed even a little bit higher. it was assessed at $19.6 million. president trump in his federal financial disclosure form for last year, 2018, he didn't have to give a precise valuation for the p

planning to send a second wave of document requests to associates of president trump including trump lawyer rudy giuliani and a former lawyer for michael cohen who last year sought a pardon on his client's behalf according to a person familiar with the committee's plans. other individuals likely to be sent requests include rex tillerson and gary cohen, an investment banker. neil, there is going to be no stone left unturned by this congress. so if there is anything that donald trump has been up to, there won't be a place to hide. >> i hope that's right because for two years congress sat on its hands and did nothing to investigate trump and, you know, this is someone who has repeatedly denied federal law just, you know, one example that gary cohen questionnaire that the judiciary commit tee is sending. gary cohen complained about the fact that president trump tried to block the time warner merger with at&t because he was so upset by the coverage on the rival network on cnn. that is a blatant abuse of power. again, it might not be criminal, but it is exactly the kind of thing our founde

like a trump 2020 flag. does that cause problems for trump flag for people? >> monica: i'm not a maga supporter. >> jesse: you're not? >> monica: surprise surprise but these kids should be allowed to wear whatever they want to wear. if they want to make america -- make america great again hat. i'm on fox news and i get in trouble for that even though i'm here as a democrat. >> jesse: okay. >> monica: but these kids in arizona should have the right to wear whatever they choose to wear politically. and i don't think they were causing any sort of disruption in the classroom or in a sort of fight to protest in the hallways and that they should be recommended. arizona has a problem because also in 2016 and a young woman suspended for wearing black lives matter sure as well. so this seems to be a thing in arizona. >> jesse: well, probably one more cited and all it takes is one little snowflake to say, he's wearing a maga hat i'm offended and the administration says no one can wear it. >> monica: just like the covington kids, i hope these kids get a great lawyer tha

trump tower meeting. the only question left is was there other behavior we don't know about behind the scenes that bob mueller can tell us that will kind of connect the dolts of all these different events that happened during 2016 that can't possibly be coincidental. you can't have that many contacts with russian nationals as they were trying to hack the 2016 election and as they succeeded without there being some kind of coordinated effort there. i think that's why people are a little business disappointed that there were not more sealed indictments. how can this possibly not be a crime if there were efforts under way to help the russians essentially interfere in the election? we have to remember, also, that so much of this was a counterintelligence investigation. so much of this may not have risen to the level of provable beyond a reasonable doubt. that's why we've had to kind of lower our expectations a bit from the mueller report. it's also why he's spun out so much of his inquiry to different distric

- only thing worse than one trump is many trumps. [laughter] mexico's gonna pay for it. that was trump's signature catchphrase. more than any other catchphrase. more than "you're fired." more than "make america great again." even more than "don't tell my wife about this." [laughter] but we never should have actually believed that mexico was going to pay for the wall. because every time someone asked trump how mexico would pay, he had a completely different explanation. - there will be a payment. it will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form. one way or the other, mexico's gonna pay for the wall. that's right. it may be through reimbursement, but one way or the other, mexico will pay for the wall. the wall will pay for itself on a monthly basis. we're working on a tax reform bill that will generate revenue from mexico that will pay for the wall. we have a trade deficit with mexico of $58 billion. all i have to do is start playing with that trade deficit and, believe me, they're gonna pay for the wall. they may even write us a check by the time they see what happens. ob

andersen mentioned it was sort of like trump university, or you may remember trump airlines or trump steaks or many trump casinos in atlantic city and elsewhere. all of them went out of business because the thing that was being sold that wasn't real or in some cases was fraudulent, well, it didn't last. so if the details and the business matters and the campaign activities and the administration activities are exposed through the processes that i just mentioned, well, the question is how does that affect both the facts that americans care about and donald trump's ongoing salesmanship of the most important product, himself. i'm joined tonight with a very special panel right here in new york. nora shactman, ed, michelle goldberg, jacob weissberg. here in part because he was one of the first reporters who also was looking at the stormy daniels story during 2016. good to have all of you here. >> thank you, ari. >> the salesmanship and when it runs out. >> well, i think that's been the question from the beginning, right? you kind of waiting for that 46%, now it's more like 40%, to realize
