>> rick wilson: i...y, i'm calling it "arizona iced tea," and i'm not making it in arizona. >> alfonsi: rick wilson is an executive at bacardi, originally a cuban company, and now the largest privately-held liquor business in the world. >> wilson: the true havana club, made with the recipe of the original founders, is the havana club that bacardi is making and selling here in the united states. >> alfonsi: bacardi bought that original recipe from the family of this woman, amparo arachabala. and it was one of the wealthiest families in cuba before the revolution? >> ampala arechabala: yes. definitely. definitely. >> alfonsi: the arechabala fortune was built on sugar and shipping and rum-- havana club rum. like hundreds of other cuban companies, theirs was confiscated shortly after fidel castro's revolution in 1959. >> arechabala: they took over the company on december 31, 1959. >> alfonsi: and do you remember that day? >> arechabala: i remember that day vividly. my husband came home. he went to work early,

angela rye, mike shields, rick wilson, good to have you on, thank you so much. the weekend after 17 innocent people were murdered in parkland, florida, the president spent his time at mar-a-lago asking guests about gun control. and i think you called it the world's most expensive and least representative focus group? >> pretty much. and look, a serious conversation about gun violence and about how we balance constitutional rights and public safety is really in order. but i don't think that the folks that are paying $200,000 a pop to be members of donald trump's palm beach golf and country club are really the folks you want to be asking specific questions about how we deploy a sort of policy direction in this country to handle this situation, handle this problem. it just seems a little bit -- the common trump problem. he always listens to the last person in the room. so i just -- it's one of those things that demonstrates how out of touch this man is. >> one of the last people he spoke to, fox news' heir recalled dough rivera -- >> what could go wrong? >> he's con

rick wilson, i don't even know what to say. who -- what happens here? dauks does she, i don't know, flood the zone, talk all over, get her 15 minutes of fame? who does she talk to? what does she say? >> stormy daniels will start a media bidding war and a book bidding war that if is no longer constrained by the nda will go to town. she is an entrepreneurial capitalist who seeks to monetize her current situation aggressively. i think she will be everywhere and speaking up very clearly. i think we also discovered in this whole thing that michael cohen may not be the best attorney in the world. he has locked himself into jeopardy now because -- at this point now he is going to open himself up to a greater fec investigation, he has also put himself in a situation where robert mueller can request his tax returns. this is a really ugly day for the trump world. michael cohen, from whatever strip mall law school he went to, he walks around like he's a super lawyer but has made unforced errors in this thing and it will be down to the embarrassment of an already e

let's bring in cnn commentator andre bauer and republican strategist rick wilson. andre, haven't seen you in a while. new do, too. >> thinking about you, buddy. >> thank you very much, i appreciate it. listen, welcome, all. rick, first the president accuses democrats of treason for not clapping for him. now he wants an over-the-top military parade. does it tell you something about how the president sees himself or the presidency? what's this all about? >> well, look, this is a president who is basically kim jong-don. he wants a missile parade. it's not about honoring the troops or praising our military, it's about self-aggrandizement and the trappings of what he thinks the maximum leader should have. and he's got everything going on this whole description except his fancy uniform with the sashes and the medals and the jodhpurs and tall boots. this is donald trump's ego. this is the self-aggrandizement. a small man who wants a big parade. it's not about our military. they're props in a show. it's the donald trump reality tv show he wants to put on. it's frankly what

joining me political analyst jennifer ruben, republican strategist and media consultant rick wilson. jennifer, since you're here, lets me start, i think it's significant to look at the trajectory of this which is that donald trump the republican party is more unified behind donald trump as time has gone on than it ever has been. six months ago, you had this vote seen as a sort of rebuke. overrideable majorities. now they say we're not doing this right now. there's possible explanations for that and you hear nothing. my theory is that it shows how much the party has fall in line behind him. >> absolutely. as rick would tell you, everything donald trump touches dies and everyone who obviously interacts with him becomes morally corrupt. for reasons that still i don't quite emotionally understand, don't quite grasp, they think their fate is tied up with his. it is but not in the way they think i think. they have allowed themselves to be led around by the nose by the likes of not only donald trump but dern nunes. no one appears to stand up and say not only does the emperor have no clothes

bill crystal, rick wilson, thank you for wrapping it up for me today. and that will be it for me. two hours of breaking news. remember to follow me and all of the things you could follow people on and e-mail us if you want e-mail. we do read them. ali velshi. >> what did he say. >> a far in a hurricane. >> that is amazing. i want to leave it at that. >> i have nothing else to add. >> are you back today or done? >> have i not done enough. look at this table. >> this is what i get. this is what i inherent. >> look at this table and then tell me that i'm doing a great job at keeping it all straight despite the mess that i've made. >> i'll use this space. have a great afternoon. thank you so much. listen, we'll stay on top of this story but the memo but other bigtory going on right now. the memo is about the complicated stuff going on in capitol hill and something going on in wall street as well. a plunge in the market. this could be the worst weekly performance in two years. the dow nearly touching 600 points lower. about a -- more than 2% loss on the dow and the s&p 500 and a big lo

he's needed to go since he attacked fredrik rick a wilson and he called immigrants lazy and get off theirlike you said. he's got problems. he's out of touch. this is the grumpy old white men's club if i can say that. it's just their last stand of how they're dealing with issues in america that they don't want to deal with. >> sometimes we do have to step back and say to yourself, are we actually sort of in a debate about whether it's okay to hit your wife. >> absolutely. >> i know we're not there, but -- >> but it's a conversation we never expected to be having. >> this is so black and white. we have a picture of a woman's face battered by a man. and for this administration to be able to say publicly, the president to be able to say publicly, well, he's a good guy. it's just so unfathomable in a weird way. >> isn't that what makes you not a good guy? >> it makes you a bad human being. >> it also says if your husband punches you in the face you better have a photo. there are so many women that aren't going to have a photo and are going to need to be believed. this president is saying -- >>
