that ashley was a kind of lie said the defense. >> ashley was a beautiful woman.he had a terrible pain inside. she was mentally ill. >> the defense put one of ashley's close friends on the stand. >> what did you know of ashley having a mental illness. >> i know she was on medications. we spoke in-depth about that. >> even with the medications, ashley had trouble controlling her emotions. >> what kind of mental health issues did you observe her to be going through? >> depression, mood swings, impulsive behaviors. >> in fact, the defense argued ashley was so depressed the supper before she died, she -- summer before she died, she wrote this letter to tom. >> i can no longer take it. i'm sorry to do this to you and your kids. i i find myself mott liking the kids. every day is a chore. i have to pretend to be happy, pretend to be someone i am not. please make sure you raise the kids to continue to go to the school we have chosen. i do love them. i just can't take this life any longer. please make sure you let them know every day that i do love them. and this was not t

ashley: true. rob, we had an analyst on our network says only thing that worries him, he feels like earnings are strong, economy is humming along nicely, some geopolitical situation could knock it off the axis. do you have concerns like that? >> geopolitical concerns, ashley, are always in our outlook for the markets. something that could happen at anytime. if you see something like that, you know, i think part of the reason we've calm down and had a positive month because the rhetoric out of north korea is kind of calmed down quite a bit that we're seeing progress there. f earnings don't come in that great, and interest rates rise above 3%, those will provide headwinds for investors in this market. ashley: jonas, we'll play the what if fame, if democrats take back the house does that have impact on market? less business-friendly house, would that have that have an im? >> i don't think that is necessarily concern or have a higher corporate tax rate to have a power change. there would have to be a h

ashley: he did.oint well made, this is all potential and we get back to the art of the deal and shooting high as far as the president is concerned on dealing with china. i do believe -- you try to get out a larry kudlow of what's going on behind the scenes, he wouldn't get into that. if we could cut 500 billion trade deficit, we get it down to 380, there's 120 billion-dollar win. >> that's a lot of angst on the companies taking the hits. china has to be law abiding again, that china is the one in violation, he's also said to you he's looking for a trade coalition of other countries willing to take on china as the wto, so that's what's really interesting, china has not been in conformity with trade laws, so he's putting the focus on china's violations of trade laws which have been ongoing and chronic. stuart: not a trade war at this point. ashley: no. a threat. >> the tariffs are months out or weeks away, right. ashley: do you think china will change modus operandi overnight, they sell it back to us,

ashley: yeah, baby.udy giuliani, trump lawyer met with special prosecutor robert mueller, judge napolitano is here, is giuliani setting up a meeting between robert mueller and the president? >> i don't know the answer to that but i suspect yes, the initial meeting was take bob mueller's pulse and speak in the hypothetical, if i brought my client here, what would you want to ask him. i have been saying for months the standard legal advice is extremely environment, the president should go no where interview with bob mueller, it's three or four prosecutors, half dozen of fbi agents who interviewed mrs. clinton. stuart: whole mob of them? >> yes. one white lie with result in indictment for lying to the fbi. stuart: it wouldn't, would it, if it was a minor leak? if it's minor, you're not going impeach a guy on that? >> i didn't say impeachment. they might. they might depending on how aggressive -- he shouldn't be exposed to give them the opportunity, he shouldn't give them the opportunity to try to get him to

ashley: but he is.he should be pounding the table, i have a free service here and i would think that most facebook users would say, okay, leave things as they are, i'm happy, don't change, just get on with what you are getting on with, am i right? >> i think exactly is what so many of the people that i've talked directly to about facebook but i do am pleased that he did one thing here, he went out to tim cook and said, look, you're making products for the most wealthy people in the world, i'm making a product that everyone can use that everyone can afford and we have to do things differently than you can on your high, high margin pedestal. ashley: you took the quote perfectly, d.r., if you want to build a service says zuckerberg which is not just serving rich people, you need to have something that more people can afford. that's a shot at the pricing of apple. stuart: i would be a buyer of facebook and i think you would too. mike: i'm pleased with what zuckerberg is doing. he fired back, he punched him

ashley: he did.show that, it's pretty impressive to see that image and apparently he's sleeping at the factory to oversee the production. ashley: yes tesla is still having a lot of headaches at the road. no pun intended. they almost went bankrupt in 2008 now saying they won't need to raise capital. he said that in 2016 and raised capital in 2017. he can easily sell stakes to toyota. already owns 5%. so when he said i don't need to go into the bond secondary to raise capital, he could sell pieces of tesla, which he has done in the past when it almost went bankrupt in 2008. ashley: but he does have a history of nothing to see here, folks. look at this big rocket. it is very impressive. stuart: by the way, futures picking up steam. we're. up about 144 points. now up 170 points. solid gain for the nasdaq as well. stay with us, please. we'll take you to the new york stock exchange and show you the opening bell this monday morning. back in a moment ♪ ♪ i can do more to lower my a1c. because my body can sti

ashley? >> so, there's a lot of people even in the president's orbit who sort of question this decision. i was talking to someone today who said, look, i think giuliani is a smart guy, but he hasn't actually practiced law in forever. he's sort of not the person you want. but in explaining the president's thinking, which here and always is the only thing that matters, the president wanted someone who was a big name. he was very frustrated by all these news reports about all these top white collar lawyers turning him down. he wanted someone who he thought had credibility and there was a sense if he could get giuliani to come on, he might be able to hire some of the other lawyers who can actually do the work that is needed to be done. he wanted kind of a familiar face. he likes that giuliani has been out defending him on tv. he believes there is some value in having sort of an attack dog surrogate. so, there may be some value that giuliani can serve in making the president comfortable or in argu

back with us, philip rucker, ashley parker, "washington post." chuck rosenberg and jennifer rodgers, of counsel to this conversation. so, ashley, among the people you talked to in the west wing of this white house, what do they fear more? more of the details coming public of this book, which let's remember comes out tomorrow, or the president's reaction to the details in the book? >> almost certainly the latter. you're right that the book doesn't come out until tomorrow, but sort of all of the best details of the book have been thoroughly vetted in the media-sphere already. and to be honest, the book is very juicy, but there's not that many revelations in the book that weren't sort of already out in the public discourse. what west wing aides and the president's sort of orbit of friends are worried about is the way, as you put it, you know, comey is sort of living rent-free in the president's head and driving him crazy. and the book comes out tuesday, which means basically a huge media and book tour is just starting. and so the concern is that jam

let's bring back ashley parker, white house reporter for "the washington post." one of the authors on that. and an msnbc contributor. ashley, you had a really, really, really, really great quote in this article and i'm going to read it. kelly is the latest high-profile example of a west wingic russ, tied in trump's orbit only to be singed and cast low. nearly everyone who has entered the white house has emerged battered, rendered a punch line. former press secretary sean spicer, a justice department target, former national security advisor, michael flynn, or a diminished shell fired by presidential tweet, former secretary of state rex tillerson. harsh, but fair, i would say. what happened to john kelly? why did it go so sour? >> so for this story, we had heard a number of sort of damning anecdotes but what we really sought to do was understand his arc of eight months into this administration. if you remember, he came in on what some of his defenders said was sort of unreasonable and inflated expectations. but this was a man of honor and integrity, a four-star gen

but in terms of what he's going to do legally for him, i'm with ashley.e no idea what the qualifications are -- if he can fill those qualifications in the way that the president needs him to because at pbs we've had the same reporting everyone else has, which is that we've talked to lawyers who have turned down the president, which is a remarkable thing to say. i think a pretty remarkable, like everybody else can tune in. you're the president, you can't get a lawyer, that's kind of remarkable to me. >> yeah, let's talk a little about the president's other lawyer perhaps, maybe the important piece of all this right now, michael cohen. and, rick tyler, there seems to be increasing concern, although we did point out the president has kind of held his fire around michael cohen the past couple days hoping he can convince him not to flip. >> there are a lot of lawyers who want to work for michael cohen, though.

joining us from the washington post white house reporter ashley parker. mike, matt and chuck, you guys sound like a boy band. you're all still here. ashley parker, how do you think the president reacted to this news after being on the record with such harsh condemnation of anyone that dares to take the 5th? >> well, i think we saw it a little bit, that fox and friends news call this morning was kind of fired up in defiant and you had the hosts even kind of trying to get him off the phone, which is kind of rare to try to be ending an interview with the president. but you saw the president going pretty much distancing himself from michael cohen. so, i think he was not that happy. this is someone you talked about this earlier on the show. he's now trying to say he was barely a lawyer at all. and the thing that struck me as even more, both interesting and amusing was when he said, like, look, michael cohen has, you know, his thing was really business. it wasn't law and i don't know much about his business. well, that's a little strange because michael cohen's

he's upset, as ashley said, about the cohen investigation. you know, the people around him aren't sure right now about cohen's loyalty. as much as the president talks about it and, as you point out, talks about flipping rather than saying, well, he's got nothing to say because nothing bad happened. >> no story. >> they are worried this is someone who does have a family, who potentially could be facing a lengthy prison sentence if he doesn't cooperate with prosecutors, and in the president's world, people around him, they find loyalty often is a one-way street. the president demands loyalty. he doesn't always give it back. the question is will cohen reciprocate? >> ashley, serious question intended without snark, and that is what is rudy giuliani supposed to help with on this laundry list that so far we've just run through? >> that is a great question and a fair question. and the answer is sort of twofold. his stated role is that, you know, he's basically going to allegedly come in and talk to mueller's office and put an end to this probe very

and now we hear from ashley's reporting that donald trump has also stepped in it. >> well, when ashley ago, i was thinking, these guys better call saul. i mean the legal mistakes they have made, particularly michael cohen, have just been rookie mistakes. and, you know, remember, this story began -- let's give credit here -- when "the wall street journal" reported the payment that was made to stormy daniels. that got the ball rolling. so it wasn't necessarily just stormy daniels wanting to tell her story. it was the fact that there was hush money paid by the president of the united states, or we thought so. maybe it wasn't by him, but by his attorney. that's still an open question, during the campaign. and as the search warrant for the michael cohen raid shows, there were possible violations of bank fraud, wire fraud, and maybe federal election law and involved not just this case but other cases. certainly stormy daniels by going public put more pressure on this and forced michael cohen and donald trump into these ridiculously basic, you know, errors that allowed this raid to go forward

joining me, ashley parker from "the washington post." jill wine-banks, a former watergate prosecutor and msnbc contributor, jonathan lemire from the "associated press" and nick confessore with the "new york times" and analyst. i want to start with ashley and your paper's reporting. the president seems to be, according to reporting tonight, and i accept the reporting, really worried what might come out of that bag of tricks in the hands of michael cohen. i'm wondering, can you target his concern? is it possible are there women issues, settlements, whatever, anything liking that? what do you think, what, do you think in your reporting he's worried about? >> i think it's important for us to separate the president from sort of people in his orbit and people in the west wing. people in the west wing in his orbit are incredibly what they don't know with cohen. they know he's sort of a shady guy who fixes problems for the president and known to record conversations with associates. they're very worried about what might come out from him. the pr
