a huge cultural breakdown it's caused the mass delusions accost mass hysteria on cable news and vanity fair is the one that just wrote a article a long piece suggesting perhaps we democrats need to reconcile our reality with the fact that obama was a really great guy he was a fantastic or answer but the fact is he was a bad leader he was not the leader that we needed at that moment because he was elected on this huge wave of hope and what people were expecting was radical action they wanted these bankers held accountable for what they did i mean that's why being a journalist is no fun because at the time we pointed this out and we got a huge flack from. the liberal consciously aware consciousness will win you know the social justice warriors like obama you know you can say that about obama he's a he's on top of all well known now the finally after a few years we realize it was horrible presidency and we said it about trump that he was probably going to get a lot more votes than people anticipated just by by because we're journalists and we saw him reported on what we saw took a lot of flak

"wall street journal," we found out that some reimbursement like that had happened. we found out during earlier charging documents concerning mr. cohen. "wall street journal" appears to have tracked that down and figured out he was paying a guy at liberty university to rig online polls to make trump seem like a better candidate. now, does mr. cohen deny that this happened? >> no, i think he said in his tweet today -- there was no denial there. what he said very clearly today was i did this at the direction of president trump, which is what he has said about the other things that he pleaded guilty to last year, and it was the exact same language. >> mmm-hmm. >> he expressed his remorse. and i think from my reporting today, what

>> clearly anything with roger stone is unpredictable but as i reported in "vanity fair," put it into context. he's had a long and complicated relationship with the president. he calls him privately mr. ingratitude. he's rankled by the fact that roger stone was responsible in many ways for donald trump's political rise and during the 2016 campaign he was essentially cast aside even as the "washington post" reported, donald trump would call him late at night and have private conversations so these men have history and if roger stone is facing years in prison, people around both men say anything is possible in terms of cooperation. >> based on that and his name for the president, do you think the option of being pardoned is not something he can count on? >> i clearly think that is an option on the table but he knows donald trump is only loyal to one person which is donald trump so roger stone has going into this clearly with both eyes very open and if it comes down to his future or donald trump's future, roger stone, just like donald trump would do for himself, is looking out for number

. >> april, i want to bring you back in and talk about this "vanity fair" report.vanity fair" has published another excerpt from cliff sims new book. team of vipers it's called. he's talking about kellyanne conway leaking to the press via text that he was able to see. here's what he said. over the course of 20 minutes or so, she was having simultaneous conversations with no fewer than a half dozen reporters, most of them from outlets the white house frequently trashed for publishing fake news. journalists from "the new york times," "the washington post," cnn, politico, and bloomberg. she bashed jared kushner, reince priebus, steve bannon, and sean spicer all by name. so you work in the white house. is the leaking like anything you have ever seen before, and what do you make of this report? >> um, well, i will go to what my source told me before we came on the air about this exact story. i said, you know, when it came to kellyanne, kellyanne was someone who was not originally in the president's camp. and so my source is believing it. this is a white house that they

our next guest, "vanity fair's" emily jane fox is reporting that michael cohen is still determined tofy before the house committee before he reports to begin his prison sentence on march 6th. so some time before march 6th. michael cohen's spokesperson lenny davis released this written explanation today. due to ongoing threats to his family from president trump and mr. giuliani as recently as this weekend, as well as mr. cohen's cooperation with ongoing investigation. by advice of counsel, mr. cohen's appearance will be postponed until a later date. including things like this, lying to reduce his jail time. watch father-in-law. and the president uses fox news to deliver threats to michael cohen and his family. >> in order to get his sentenced reduced, he says, i have an idea. i'll give you some information on the president. well, there is no information. but he should give information, maybe on his father-in-law, because that's the one that people want to look at. because where does that money -- that's the money in the family. i guess he didn't want to talk about his father-in-law. he

however, there is the reporting in vanity fair and politico which is scathing quotes, blind quotes, but scathing quotes about giuliani from white house insiders and people close to the president. it does show that there is concern, at least, within, you know, those people close to the administration that giuliani is letting the president down. >> exactly. i mean, there is so level of discontentment, i think it's fair to say and it remains to be seen just how high that is at this point. but rudy giuliani's job since he joined the president's legal team last year seemed to always be this kind of role of a spokesman rather -- or more of a spokesman than an attorney. and i think he has gone out there and said a lot of things about the investigation, many of those comments that had to have been walked back. and i thought, i mean, it was only -- it was less than a week ago or it was about a week ago when he went on chris cuomo's show and said i never said there was no collusion between the trump entities and russia. and i think a lot of it, whether there's a grander strategy here to kind of o

less than 24 hours the democrats will retake control of the house and some of the high profile of "vanity fairhe chairs of the committees who will investigate donald trump's investigations run in tandem with mueller's and already there are hints of what mueller is doing alongside the committee chairs that you see. he could reveal new details of how paul manafort, there is a status update on michael flynn's investigation in march. meanwhile we do know mueller has gotten dozens of indictments chug one from michael cohen. he is scheduled to go to prison on march 6th. but there is another person mueller has not charged, roger stone. his story about how he contacted wikileaks has repeatedly changed. mueller has combed through the e-mails as well as conference call us, swells what he told the house. that's the other committee chairs he mentioned and witnesses have told us on this program that mueller's team has been grilling them specificbly stone. you agreed to help roger mislead congress. >> i was telling the truthful. >> it was that roger stone. >> most of the time. they definitely got roger ston

as vanity fair puts it, even the olds don't want the olds to run. >> one thing that donald trump shouldht us is that the voting public out there wants to have a consumer experience. a lot of political pundits don't like to talk about this, but they want to feel a certain way by voting. barack obama made democrats feel a certain way by voting. the response to beto o'rourke and his campaign among people who don't live anywhere near texas, he made them feel a certain way. they got excited about it. does joe biden create that excitement? i'm not so sure. does i h >> i do think that the generational question is a fascinating one, because all you had to do was go to a bernie sanders rally. i covered him for five or six months. the demographics of that were very different than most of the other campaigns, certainly different than donald trump's. having said that, take a look at the ages that some of the democratic candidates would be when they took office if they won. biden 78, sanders 79, elizabeth warren, 71. michael bloomberg, 78. you're looking at an electorate that the democrats will tell
