brian brenberg is here.when there are fewer jobs wages go up because companies are fighting for the good workers. why are wages falling behind. >> they are fighting for the high skilled workers technology jobs and construction. they are look for those workers and are willing to pay a lot of money for those guys. but for a lot of workers who don't have skills, they are going after the jobs that aren't paid as much and are subject to automation. kennedy: welders and accountants. >> these skilled jobs, you have employers willing to pay for that. a lot of people are competing for these lower skilled jobs. increasingly they have other options. kennedy: they have that automation. in the old days if there weren't any jobs where you lived, you just leave. that's what my parents did. they moved to oarlg -- to oregon and that's where they stayed. >> it's easier to stay where you are and make a living when welfare payments are more generous. that's part of the spur that gets h -- gets you moving. by some measures 25% f

we want to get the read on this with brian brenberg. to mercedes point, professor, it's all about what comes out of these -- the search for evidence and this payment that was sent to michael cohen or to cover his costs for the $130,000 check that he wrote stormy daniels. a lot of people will read sinister intentions to that. if it doesn't involve campaign funds, there's no there there. but after that, it's anyone's guess. what do you think? >> that's what it looks like to me. you have the one hand, it could be an unseemly situation and voters will have to make a decision about that. on the other hand, if there's no there there, you don't have a legal issue and you've got to move passed it at some point and it is a political issue than a legal issue. as you said, it's changing hour by hour. so to make any definitive read is completely impossible. >> neil: the wealthy have a lawyer on retainer, they take care of business. the president was paying mr. cohen $35,000 a month in retainer to cover anything that might come up. he writes a check
