people like gary cohn and rob porter and sean spicer and some others, rex tillerson. look, they had own agenda as well but they were not elected to be the president. look, , we saw this too many tis with the president the presider specific policy or specific action item to get done, and the staff would walk up and just completely disregard the they would use subversion, stalling techniques, the old man is going to forget. that's not what happened but they used their positions of influence to say we can't get it done this way. he wants to get things done. he's a businessman who brought that business mentality to washington, and his staff by large at the beginning did a very serious disservice to them and when i think to the american people. >> jimmy choo sean spicer who was compiled not sure what his title was but he was spokesman for a time. you wrote in the book that he really initialed did want to be part of the campaign and came aboard as he said reluctantly. after president trump one. how significant was that or was he as a plate of this. sharyl, let me say, in th

gary cohn. mnuchin. that thing they put out sunday was nuts. i mean, he is on vacation in mexico, and they -- one thing to call the heads of the six largest banks and say things are okay, right? putting out a press release saying that, that's just like a sign -- that is -- don't panic, you know? that's when everyone panics. >> it happened with cause in the midst of the crash in 2008 because folks needed to know that the banks were -- >> and even then -- it was a real crisis, not just a crisis of feelings. so i think the market is saying something serious. i think the political implications are underrated. the republican establishment, not the base, so to speak. the republican establishment has swallowed a lot to accept trump because of the economy in general. but in particular because of the markets. because guess what, the republicans of the party are businessmen who care a lot about the stock market. >> the hedge fund or their stock market -- yeah. >> and at some point -- i got a call from someone late last week, hey, why don't you help out,

this was his former director of the national economic council, gary cohn, this morning. >> absolutely not offended by the term globalist because i am a globalist. i believe we live in a globalized world. i think the united states is a very integral part of a globalized world. we have to figure out how to live as a good citizen. so do the chinese. so do the russians. sort of the middle eastern countries. but we are globalized. we cannot change that back. >> laura: we have to figure out how to be good global citizens? that might sound really high-minded. what happened in the 20 years since china entered the wto is not pretty. we ended up enriching other countries and lots of lost traders like gary cohn himself as our own middle-class suffere. thousands of u.s. companies moved overseas for cheaper production, all ushered in under the banner of globalization. gone were most american-made products, textiles, toys, televisions. it sure wasn't what the globalist told us what happened once china was welcomed into the world trade community. >> by joining the wto, china is not simply agreeing t

first, frank cohn and then laura wester and judge say. i think frank is going to speak from his chair, and then laura and judge say will come to the podium. ed cohn is moving around collecting questions, i hope if you have them you will put them on the note cards as you go along. we will have a break in between each of the remarks by the speakers and a chance to ask a question or two then, or else at the end. so raise your hand if you have a question, and we will collect the cards. we will begin with you. >> thank you all. good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

trump, we go from roy cohn and mr. cohen and we don't have as good a lawyer as roy cohn to do the terrible and evil things he did in the past. >> i would revise your remarks and let you build on them. i think what you have is someone who is as clearly criminal and deceptive as roy cohn but less effective in the sense of getting away with that. that goes to what i want to ask my prosecutors about. fascinating narrative that goes beyond what we knew two hours ago and i'm reading from the documents. i hope folks will bear with me. the first time they talked to him was on august 7, quote, on cohen's request and they said cohen provided relevant information to parts of the probe but then because they knew what they were doing when they sprung on him questions about the moscow project they write, quote, cohen provided false answers in what he later explained was an effort not to contradict his congressional testimony which we now know was perjury. john flannery, what does that tell you about the way they gathered and squeeze

we find out michael cohn circulated within the white house. it's not identified with whom. but included trump lawyers. the testimony he was preparing to gif to congress. that testimony included statements he was going to make about the moscow hotel project. when negotiations took place and ended. he was eager to show to state and stated it publicly the negotiations ended before the active phase of the republican campaign in 2016. that was not true. that was part of the written statement. the prosecutor say this was premeditated testimony. circulated within the white house. it is inconceivable that white house staff knowing what the president personal lawyer was going to say about business deal. didn't let mim know. the president it seems without an extraordinary explanation to the contrary. cohn was about to go to the congress and lie. >> first of all respect for you picking up on what few did in the sentencing memo. the last point they made cohen had been helpful on. describing the situation around the congressional testimony. people look over it. you seized on it. prove i

trump, we go from cohn to mr. cohen. >> i would revise your remarks and then i will let you build on them. i think what you have is someone who is as clearly criminal and deceptive as roy cohn, but less effective. and that is what i want to ask both of my prosecutors about. fascinating narrative here. i am reading from the documents, i hope folks will bear with me. it is interesting. explaining that the first time they talked to michael cohen was on august 7th at cohen's request. and they are saying he did provide relevant information. they write quote, cohen provided false answers in what he later explained in an effort not to contradict his congressional testimony which we now know was perjury. what does that tell you about the way they gathered and squeezed michael cohen. and why are they revealing it now. >> they are revealing it so we know what they are dealing with. they have the advantage to press him to tell the truth by taking his tape recordings and letters and emails and to come firm what he had to say.

cnn's elizabeth cohn explains. >> what rather learning is autopsy showed this little boy had the flu. when he went to get help, he had symptoms of the flu, yet he wasn't tested. doctors say that was a great missed opportunity. if he'd been tested, he could have been treated and potentially his life could have been saved. let's take a look at what happened the day that he died. at 1:20 in the afternoon, customs and border protection found he had possible symptoms so they took him into the hospital where he was found to have 103 degree fever. there's no mention of a flu test ever being given to him. at the hospital, he was diagnosed with the common cold and released. he went back into detention at 11:00. he was brought back to the hospital because he was sicker and he was pronounced dead at 11:48 p.m. the infectious disease experts had another question. why would you send a child who had a 103 degree fever back into detention. they said it wasn't good for him and it wasn't good for the other people at that detention facility. they said a child with that level of fever should not have be

gary cohn, rob porter, who worked with cohn to try to keep the trade warriors in the white house under control. gone. i've been very worried about this for months and i think trump is getting the kind of people around him that he likes having around him and that's very bad for the country. >> listen to republican senator bob corker on cnn's "state of the union." >> i do think this next three months will be a very important three months for our country. i'm cheering the guys on that are there, but i think this next three months could well determine whether he decides to run again or not. i think it will be important that the united states senate really dig in and not make other colossal mistakes as it relates to foreign policy. >> couple of important things he said there. the first part he's suggesting that the president may not run again. could he decide not to run? is that realistic? >> he could but it would be better if people took him on and try to deny him the republican nomination. that's what bob corker should do and others. we don't know who else might be able to beat him. the m

let's go to an individual that was part of this, steve cohn, a member of the house judiciary committee. i don't need to read through the pages. you understand what happened during that testimony. and one of the words, we did a quick count here, representative, 235 pages, 116 times hillary clinton was brought up in this discussion, in this testimony. 128 times, if i read my notes properly here, russia was brought up as well. what was the tone and why were these the focus words? >> well, i don't even know why we had the hearing, really, nothing new came out except the republicans on the judiciary committee have continually tried to support trump and divert attention away from russian interference with the election, and any misdeeds trump might have engaged in to hillary clinton, to loretta lynch, a friend of hillary clinton's, and james comey. and they asked questions about interactions that james comey might have had with loretta lynch, and lynch with bill clinton and issues about the e-mails. they seem obsessed with the e-mails and they want to prosecute hillary clinton, and i think th

he is the president's roy cohn. it seems unlikely to me that he will let, you know, mueller subpoena the president unless, for whatever reason, he's put into a position where he can't avoid it. and so i still have to say my money is on the career folks at doj who are smart, who understand institutionally how we get things done, and maybe there's a little bit of hope from that line of vision. >> mike schmidt, last question. i heard from someone today who surmised that bill barr was horrified to be on a graphic all day, every day with matt whitaker. do you have any reporting on the state of being matt whitaker, what he plans to do with his possibly short tenure there? >> not really. and that's sort of the unusual thing. is he auditioning there for another role in the administration? would he be a good permanent chief of staff for the president? we know that whitaker was someone who was on cnn who was able to reach the president that way and to get on his radar. and then very unusual pick to run the justice department.
