let's get a read from national review contributor davis bossen and gabby ohr and david bernstein. ts on how this shapes up in one way politically. another year plus is an eternity. your thoughts. >> i can say with some certainty i don't think the jussie smollett case will be the main issue of the 2020 campaign. i think the reality is, this is part of a problem in an emerging pop culture and politics that's going on. you have to condemn these things but people should, as they did at the beginning, have to be outspoken when something like this comes out. this is an atrocious -- this is what -- >> neil: will people remember that, like the fair weather -- >> they should. it goes to character. it goes into what people say about president trump, fake news. this is actual fake news unlike the other stuff he says. >> neil: babb -- gabby, this is a trend. like the covington thing. there's very little of the dialling back. >> i don't think any voter will have this in their mind in november 2020 when they choose which candidate to support, this open as lot of these democratic candidates up to

that joining us is david bernstein and allie, a conservative commenter.lame for democrats wearing black face 30 years ago? >> i have to agree with you. this is ridiculous. there are plenty of problems with president trump and democrats would be well served if they stuck to the serious issues on which many americans find the president's policies to not be working for them. >> allie, have we allowed politics to blind us? these people are projecting their hate on to everything and anything that they despise and using trump as a proxy, yes? >> yes. the sad thing is this is so typical. this is like classic 2018 and 2019. the inability to see your own side and take responsibility. want only for your own actions but the people in your party. i cannot imagine the mental gymnastics you have to do to blame a president -- we are not talking about reagan for the 1980s but blaming the president now for something that happened in the 1980s. i am exhausted thinking about what it takes to get there. >> this is more salacious. dr. susan block saying that trump is wrecking

david bernstein, g.o.p. strategist, holly turner and fox news contributor janine burrelly.me start with you. it was not pleasant to watch th that, as a democratic representative, how do you feel about that? >> well, look, i think that representative omar is not having a great week, a couple of weeks here in her introduction to congress because on a certain level while i think the people who came into congress, they did come here and they have a mandate from voters to hold the trump administration accountable and hold them to account, you have to do that with a little bit more intentionality and decorum. while mr. abrams was convicted of a crime a long time ago, is this the kind of issue that's going to move voters? i think she probably hurt her cause more than she helped it, although i'm sure she endeared her base by going after a republican. >> you have a campaign and sort of a fire and vigor and anger, maybe, that might appeal to certain people, but there's a certain way you also comport yourself once you arrive in washington d.c. >> note to steph to anyone washington, na

we have david bernstein here and fox business network's ashley webster. let starts with you, denny. the democrats call for -- calling this a stunt. i thought, hey, this is what you want, you get publicity from it. all of the presidential candidates have rallied around this. why not vote on it? >> yeah. make up your mind, right? this is a fundamental transformation of america on steroids. this is a sweeping agenda for more government control and intervention in our everyday lives. why would they not want to go on the record? they would have to defend this to their constituents and the constituents need to know who supports this and what does not. this will affect all americans if this is something that the utopia that democrats want to go there. >> shepard: we're hearing it broad strokes, a lot to be filed in but starts the conversation. a vote would allow americans to see who is for what at this particular time. >> they should have a vote on it, frankly. as senator harris said, why propose those if you don't want to vote on it? we have become engaged in politics and mitch mcconnell

andrea bernstein is the co-host of the "trump inc." podcast. and david farenthold of "the washington post." welcome to you both. andrea, to yourst, yesterday one to have the pieces of evidence that michael cohen showed was this big check tore $35,000 signed by donald trump when he was president. what was that check allegedly for? >> so this had a startling impact, this check. i was in the courtroom with chael cohen when he described this scheme where he says he was directed by the person we now know to be donald trump to make is payment, to keep some women quiet who had e allegations of having had an affair with then candidate for presint donald trump. >> reporter: this was an eat ier court evth michael cohen in new york? >> right. so this happened when he plead guilty. but what was so startling is we have not actually seen th check that we saw yesterday when michael cohen turned it over to the house oversight committee from donald trump written while donald trump ws president and cohen described in his opening statement how he had been on a tour of the

. >> with me are david gerg ben, carl bernstein, gloria borger, kirsten powers and santorum. gloria, let me start with you. i guess i'll run through with everybody. what are the headlines? >> the headline comes from the congresswoman's question, obviously. i mean, you know, what michael cohen described today was an oval office crime. and with cohen saying that the president called him and said look, i want to make sure that you say that i wasn't knowledgeable about these payoffs. then we saw the check, which was incontrovertible evidence signed by donald trump, $35,000. i mean, that check is very meaningful. and, you know, there are a lot of things that strike me. the roger stone apparently calling to talk about wikileaks, but one other thing that we also ought to keep in mind is that cohen kept referring to southern district of new york investigations. and he couldn't answer some questions about the president because they're being investigated by the southern district. that would cause chills to me. >> roger stone calling the president saying oh, i talked to julian assange,
