>> chair cohn: yes. the team is not going to be disassembled. >> correct. >> chair cohn: what are they going to be doing? >> in addition to the work that we do right now this is only a part of what that -- what our office does for mental health. so the bulk of our work is actually spent doing the cases in the criminal justice system related to folks who have been found incompetent to stand trial, not guilty by reason of insanity or mental offenders. that is 300 active cases and hundreds more of inactive cases that that team is monitoring. the way that we do that work in our office is when somebody has been found incompetent or questioned about an individual's competence to stand trial in a criminal matter is raised that case comes to this mental health team. our mental health team manages that case during that time where that incompetency is the issue. the attorneys on that team are not trying the cases, they are not resolving the criminal matter but they are managing and monitoring the time that that pe

thank you. >> chair cohn: thank you. i have a few questions if i may. how long has the san francisco's office of public conservator been around? when was it first established? >> the law went into full effect in 1972. one of the change -- there's been several changes though. we initially -- the office of the public conservator was actually under the state of california. i can't tell you exactly when the office of the public conservator came under das but it's been about 15 years ago. >> chair cohn: so i was wondering, has there ever been any program evaluations or audits of the program? >> we do receive every three years -- we've been subject to an audit from -- actually our partners at the department of public health and it's really around services that we provide that are reimbursed by medical. >> >> chair cohn: is it dps that conduct conduct the audit or a third party? >> i can't speak in great detail about these audits but we are working with quality assurance divisions at the department of public health. >> chair cohn: okay. so in this particular c

cohn.l obviously he is already aware that a sar was filed because of the report by "the wall street journal." there's no reason to keep this sar confidential. the treasury department should release it to the american public. so that everyone can see what it contains. now wolf, if in fact this transaction was as innocent as mr. cohn wants us to believe, there should be no issues with releets iasing this sar. they should release it tomorrow. sfl michael cohn has filed to compel arbitration. obviously wants to keep this out of court. he argues that the agreement which your client signed requires both parties to work out disagreements through private arbitration through that process. you want to prabreak that agreement? tell us why. our position has been clear for weeks now. we want this matter decide d in the open, in public. we want the public to have all the facts on both sides so they can determine what happened here. we can now the administration and mr. cohn want the opposite. they want t

cohn.er ) now, here's the deal-- cohn is a proponent of free trade. and trump's new tariffs on aluminum and steel were the most immediate catalyst for mr. cohn's departure. well, that's just economics-- supply and demand. he saw his boss demand a dumb- ass steel tariff so he supplied himself an exit before ( bleep ) hit the fan. ( cheers and applause ) now, it's odd, he just pa-too! ( piano riff ) now, it's odd that cohn would choose to resign now, seeing as how he had drafted a resignation letter after the tragedy in charlottesville, which trump responded to by saying there were good people on both sides. however, cohn ultimately changed his mind and decided to remain on. so for the record: for cohn, supporting nazis is okay. but imposing import taxes? now you've gone too far, sir! ( applause ) ( laughter ) and cohn's departure-- cohn's departure is especially shockinr ross just two days ago: >> gary cohn, as far as i know, is certainly not going to walk out. >> stephen: in a way, he's rig

through the beginning of the campaign, so this has been somethingthe president has railed about and cohn implored him not to push the post office issue because some people point out amazon is one of the main things keep iin the u.s. postal service afloat because of the dramatic fall off in mail volume in the age of e-mail we live in. so gary cohn was taking a much more pro amazon position that doesn't seem to be the case of larry kudlow. although yesterday was kudlow's first day on b job, so it's too early to tell what his public position will be >> we're attempting to reach out to larry a friend of many here, to find out what his position will be and what, if anything, he's advising the president to do you mentioned the president's railings, you write k i'm going to quote, he's off the hook on this according to sources you spoke with it's war he gets on. >> seth:ed with something and now, he's obsessed with bezos. trump is like, how can i f with him. i gather this is now so personal is this really the president against amazon or is this the president using amazon as a way to get to bezo

and so as a result of that, there's going to be a serious problem for mike cohn.hat's exactly the reason why trump is basically denying anything and saying you just need to talk to michael cohen about this. >> let me get to the intermediate question which is what mike it will avenatti just said on tape. if there was an nda, the obvious purpose is she will not talk about what he and she did together. now. >> sure. >> according to the argument michael avenatti made it's two ways. a nondisclosure agreement binds both parties tore silence. so therefore, it could not have been made without telling one of the parties the president in this case that he was supposed to keep quiet about it. so if trump is a party to the contract and if trump had no knowledge about the payment which was the consideration given to daniels to buy her silence, then why in the world is trump joining in a motion to compel arbitration? why is trump joining in a federal lawsuit if trump had nothing to do with the underlying contract and that is going to be a serious problem for donald trump. and t

trump asked where's my roy cohn? this idea that he wants fixers, that he has this completely -- it's really a delusional sense of what the justice department can do for him. it seems to be laid bare in his treatment of michael cohen aboard air force one yet when he said i don't know, you have to call michael cohen. that's what he would like to say about jeff sessions and rod rosenstein, isn't it? >> and he sees roy cohn as the model. he developed this relationship with him back in the -- when he was a young up-and-coming businessman here in new york, cohn sort of taught him the ways of the road, helped work as a fixer for him and he has had these folks in his life since then. that's probably one of the reasons why a lot of lawyers in washington do not want to work for him and why he's having such a difficult time. >> real lawyers. >> lawyers dream of representing someone like the president and he can't find a real lawyer. >> that's what he said. that's what he said when you and your colleague wrote about what a hard

gary cohn called him dumb as bleep. they're all gone too. bob corker, who once called the white house an adult daycare center publicly, said there are three people who matter in the white house. >> i think secretary tillerson, secretary mattis, and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. and i support them very much. >> tillerson, of course is gone. and if kelly like tillerson previously, mcmaster and cohn is pushed out, that would leave only mattis. jeff zeleny is "outfront" at the white house. these sortss of words and descriptions are consistent with what many of us have heard. the president, though, is now firing back. >> reporter: he is indeed, erin, firing back with a couple different messages. one just literally a few seconds ago as you were speaking. but first of all, let's look at this tweet he sent a few minutes ago. he said this, the fake news is going crazy, making up false stories and using unnamed sources who don't exist. they are totally unhinged and a great success of this administrati

i want to add roy cohn in there.lso a tape of roy cohn calling me in 1983 and re-collect calling me in '84. part of what he learned is from roy cohn. donald trump watched him and was like roy is getting away. so roy cohn called me to vouch for donald trump having $500 million and then $700 million of liquid asset and he's look at a piece of paper. and there was that surreal moment in journalism, don, that i think you should appreciate that i'm looking at a piece of paper that says donald trump has $700 million in liquid assets, and i said can you send me the paper before i'll consider it, you know i can't do that, john. it's confidential. and i'm thinking here is the most notorious liar and fixer in this country saying take my word for. >> look, i've got to go. i've got a new book for you. i'm serious. you could call it the art of the con. see you guys. be right back. ways to lthe northern belly fat. percussion massage. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool. coolsculpting safely freeze

>> it's very clear to me, jake, that michael cohn, mr.istration have concluded that michael cohen's in a lot of trouble and he's going to flip on the president. so this is the first effort on their part to undermine mr. cohen's credibility so they can claim when he does flip, thiat he's a liar, he has no credibility, et cetera. this is only one week after mr. trump last weekend sent out his tweet, effectively coming to the defense of michael cohen essentially saying that he had his back. mr. trump realizes he's in a lot of trouble and he's in panic mode. >> you don't know if mr. trump and his people stugted th suggen the ami or "the national enquirer." you're just talking based on what's happened in the past. >> i think that president trump and "the national enquirer" knew about this payment. >>> is president trump listening, we'll discuss with our panel next, stay with us. so we swapped your car out for the all-new chevy traverse. yes. do you think it's going to surprise your daughter? absolutely. wait, is mom here yet? where's mom? she'

however, the exodus of a number of people from the white house like gary cohn and rex tillerson may pave the way for the president to move on the tariffs. >> joining us this morning is washington examiner and writer phil wegmann. >> good morning. >> let's start off with trade. what does this do? we are seeing the united states made a move and overnight china has made a move slapping the tariffs. what does this do to the relationship with the two countri countries? they both need each other. you look at china. the u.s. needs them with north korea to denuke. what does this do for the relationship? >> it shows the casualties on trade are more widespread than industries here and there. like you said a moment ago, this will have significant impact on markets here in the united states here in the united states, but international relations. china is our best friend when it comes to getting north korea to behave. they are not the best actor, but the best negotiating partner we have when we try to get that rogue regime to come to the table and start acting rationally. you have consumers who will

we have to acknowledge the fact that as of right now, michael cohn has michael cohen problems. >> theresident is an leaptic about this. one of the reasons i understand is because he doesn't know what's there and there could be. that is one reason. they have everything and there could be something. when i talked to him last night, he made this point about the length in prison term and said that would be enough to make cohen turn. not flip. here he is. >> they don't see michael as taking pressure or a fall for somebody else. and if the government requires a certain kind of cooperation or gives out a hint as to what could be necessary. >> so accused of weak character basically? >> i do think so. >> most anyone would flip on anyone else who quitted a crime to avoid jail. i think most of us would do that. is this why he's -- >> i think so. jason is right. this was referred here because it was outside of the scope of the mueller investigation. but the thipg about michael cohen is he for reasons i don't understand. he has had ties to the russian mob since childhood. childhood friends. his un

cohn was ignored. mcmaster was ignored. we talk about these advisers a lot, but at this point, i'm not sure kelly stays or goes. it doesn't really matter, i would argue. donald trump, more than last year for sure, more than last february, more than last april, is firmly in charge. we're talking about syria, talking about tariffs. he's doing things his staff was trying to stop him from doing. that's the big important story here. >> with regard to the story itself though, the president has denied the voracity over it. he's calling it made-up garbage. his new white house chief economic adviser, larry kudlow, also pushed back on this. let's take a listen to what he said. >> general kelly has been great to me. he is in charge. he's operating on much improved process. every time the president and i talk and that subject comes up, the president has nothing but good things to say about general kelly. >> what's your reaction to all this? >> i think this is yet another edition of the apprentice white house. every week we talk about w

gary cohn gave up. why is it that larry kudlow believes he'll be successful in influencing the president here? the markets are seeming to believe it. >> right. well, i mean, he did have some immediate success in calming the markets a couple of days ago. the problem is, he was undercut, as is so often the case, with the administration and the president himself. larry doesn't believe on this policy. on the other hand, as mike froman was saying, there are legitimate complaints about the china. the question is how you go about prosecuting them. larry is saying, well, we can't allow this to happen. it is a real problem. all of that is true. does larry kudlow agree with the means the president is pursuing? i don't think so. but he is new in the job. he likes the job. i mean, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it. so, he is trying to walk a line and keep pleasing the president and try to do the president's bidding. >> thanks very much for joining us. john harwood, michael froman and austin goolsbee. the dow is
