keith davidson did not reply. and 22 nerve-wracking minutes later, michael cohen texted, please call me. again, silence from keith davidson. and after another nine excruciating minutes, michael cohen texted, come on! still, no reply from keith davidson for 30 whole painful minutes. and then michael cohen decides that tomorrow might be better any way. he texts, let's forget tonight. they would rather tomorrow so they can promote the heck out of the show. that gets no reply from keith davidson. minutes later, the idea is killed by the wise man, michael cohen texts. keith, the wise men all believe the story is dieing and don't think it's smart for her to do any interviews.. that gets an immediate reply from keith davidson. he texts, 100%. and that gets an immediate reply from michael cohen. thanks, pal. and that's the end of that. after thanks, pal. until the next month when suddenly michael avenatti replaces keith davidson as stormy daniels' lawyer and the rest is history. with michael avenatti on the case, suddenly

it seems we have finally arrived at one, even for me, the harley-davidson case. >> harley-davidson isust the beginning. what all the economists have been saying as donald trump has dreamed more and larger tariffs on more and closer of our allies as well as china, japan, canada, germany, the uk, france -- they've said, you're going to destroy thousands more jobs than you are going to save because on steel, there are far more steel users than there are steel producers in the united states. whatever you do, you're going to lead them to then target u.s. industries, and harley-davidson is a perfect example. they're not 90 minutes from where i'm sitting right now. and in honor of july the 4th, hundreds of workers are going to be able to celebrate our nation's independence by losing their jobs, going to the very countries that the president thinks he's trying to punish. >> and the one thing that businesses need as republicans are constantly reminding us, as if we didn't know, is stability. they need to be able to predict the future. and harley-davidson clearly is finding the future so unpred

davidson is denying all this. he says this outrageously frivolous lawsuit is to continue a publicity tour. that debate will play out in court but the evidence, the evidence is playing out tonight in public. some of michael cohen's own words are striking. the text says she was with flotus on march 2nd. it was to prepare her for news of this very lawsuit. here is why all of this matters. these texts that are brand new that we're reading for the first time that the party never wanted to see the light of day, these are michael cohen's own words. they suggest a plan to lie about daniels that maybe went all the way to the top. an allegation that trump and the first lady were in the loop on all of this. i like to be fair, as you know if you watch this show. if you take all this as true, which is an if, and if this is the one and only time it happened, then the trump folks could argue it's not that big a deal legally and the daniels civil case limited impact in the 60 minutes interview already aired. but if this forms a p

what does harley-davidson do?y all right, we'll build them over there so don't have to pay the tariff. that's what they need to do as a capitalist company that needs to reward their shareholders, but john, how do we fix this so we don't have darn tariffs in the first place? >> the point of trump's exercise of strategys somehow toscare, to push these major trading parties into making new deals with the united states on trade. whether or not it succeeds remains to seen. we recently had the people's bank of china cut interest rates. it eased monetary policy in part because china's perhaps bracing itself for an extended period of trade friction with the united states. they're getting ready to do battle, and we just don't know how long this is going to last and how much we have to do in order to get the other side to give in sufficiently. trish: think about it, if you're china, you tell the harley-davidson of china, you're not going to move jobs overseas. right? you have the ability to do that because it's obviously a

so this is a problem that harley-davidson is feeling on its bottom

although donald trump is boasted this of harley—davidson: made in america. harley—davidson.t he welcomed to the white house is looking to shift much of its production overseas. the european union is try to punish us workers because they have engaged repeatedly in unfettered trade practices and the president is saying enough is enough and we would like to work with the eu to work on a level playing field. when donald trump imposed steep tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium, of retaliation was expected. and the european union have focused on all american products, made in the heartlands where the president has sought support, like bluejeans, bourbon, and harley—davidsons but the compa ny‘s glory bourbon, and harley—davidsons but the company's glory days of easy writing art now long behind. sales in the united states have slumped and customers in other countries have become much more important. until you have been on a harley—davidson, you have not been ona harley—davidson, you have not been on a motorcycle. butjust last week, the firm was wanting to get on one of their bi

the harley davidson an iconic american brand and now a symbol of u.s. president donald trump's protectionist trade policy. decision to impose tariffs on the motorcycles came after washington introduced levies on steel and aluminum imports. but instead of stepping on the america first bandwagon harley davidson responded by saying it would shift some production overseas. unsurprisingly that didn't go down too well with the protectionist president. characteristically fiery tweeze he rose harley must know that they won't be able to sell back into the united states without paying a big tax. also claimed that harley davidson had decided to move jobs from kansas city abroad before the e.u. introduced. the motorcycle maker denies this is the case. among those criticizing trans trade dispute with the european union is the governor of wisconsin where harley davidson is based scott walker tweeted that a new tire of policy would be good for wisconsin moneyfacts sure is and farmers. but as the tit for tat trades but continues there could well be more tariffs down th

that's cohen allegedly texting davidson. davidson then responds, she cannot do that today. she flying to la tomorrow. i am trying to get her to commit for tomorrow. over the hours the two message back and forth. at one point the suit says cohen complained the delay was, quote, no good. he went on to say, by doing tomorr, you just create another news cycle instead of this i mhael cen to keith davidson, stormy daniels' former attorney. then later that evening theres anr xtessage from cohen to davidson. he says, the wise men all believe the story isnd don't think it is mart for her to do any interviews. davidson then apparently replies -- 100%. cohen's response, thanks, pal. nowng to the la the w men was a reference that iluded trumpnd alleges trump kn of the plan to get her to appear on hannity's show and deny a prior sexual relationship with trump, though the lawsuit includes no documentation of that so we haven't seen any evidence that. in addition to that, we have some other text messages that were sent in early march of this year. davidson telling cohen that clifford plan

harley—davidson is using that as an excuse, and i don't like that, because i've been very good to harley—davidsonit as an excuse harley—davidson, and they used it as an excuse and i think the people that ride harleys are not happy with harley—davidson, and i wouldn't be either. but mostly companies are coming back to our country. he has also threatened to impose new taxes on harley—davidson, though our reporter says the president's options are limited. i think most traders on wall street i was speaking to earlier today would tell you it is probably more likely rhetoric than anything. certainly there is concern that president could do something like tax the motorcycles that harley—davidson would try and build a broad and reimport into the us. that assumes harley—davidson would be building motorcycles abroad that it would wa nt to motorcycles abroad that it would want to bring back into the us. the announcement yesterday was specific to the idea that motorcycles bound for the european market, they would start building those outside of the us in their overseas facilities. so the president's options

i am happy with harley—davidson and my president.nsin is aware that the president's policy could have an impact on harley. with harley—davidson just over there that must provide a lot of business for the area and yourself. yes, it does. a lot of businesses in this area. yet trump voters are remaining loyal to the president. he is what he is. bombastic and i think he is controversial but i think a lot of that is part of the way he wants to negotiate and get things done. it was in states like this that donald trump fired up his campaign. turning wisconsin republican red was an important part of his presidential victory and it is no surprise that he is back on the road campaigning here ahead of the congressional elections. but the uncertainty about harley—davidson could hurt him. trump as far as i am concerned, i don't consider him america. he is our leader right now but harley— davidson will always be america. that sounds like a real warning to donald trump. don't mess with it. there's no doubt harley—davidson is a classic american bra

one of these motorcycles is a big 1000cc harley—davidson...s of easy riding are now long behind. sales in the united states have slumped and customers in other countries have become much more important. until you have been on a harley—davidson, you have not been on a motorcycle. but just last week, the firm was warning to get on one of their bikes in europe would inevitably cost more. translation: of course this will impact on price. we will try to make this as painless as possible, but no company can foot this alone. in the short—term, harley—davidson now says that it intends to absorb the extra costs of $2200 for each motorcycle. that could amount to $100 million a year. but the longer—term plan of taking production out of the us is worrying some republicans. yet donald trump seems determined to move ahead, even if that looks like america going it alone. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. staying in the united states, and the pentagon has confirmed that two military bases in texas would be used as temporary camps to house migrants. last we

harley-davidson or trump?l betting against trump these days and i think is probably right about harley-davidson riders who voted for donald trump. this does seem to be on harley-davidson's part in part or reaction to these tariffs but also part of a trend in the company to build more motorcycles overseas. they build them in brazil, they build them in india, they build them in thailand, they build them in australia. the idea that every harley is built in the good old usa is actually just not correct and the other thing that i've been thinking since this newshappenek that this is the final act in this? these tariffs are very fluid, most of them haven't even taken effect yet. there are threats and counter threats. i think we need to wait a while to see what happens. >> bret: that's what he said, patients. >> patients. harley does have a problem because it's not attracting younger riders so much anymore in the u.s. as mollie alluded to. i think the president -- had a hard time figuring out what he was talking abou

davidson in davidson. it includes text messages.ohen reaches out to davidson in an attempt to get daniels to appear on fox news to deny the affair. the texts start january 17th. the same day in touch magazine published excerpts of an interview in which stormy daniels described a sexual encounter with trump. cohen says, i have her tentatively scheduled for hannity tonight, so which davidson replies she cannot do it, she's flying to l.a. tomorrow. cohen says, this is no good. we need her. by doing tomorrow, you create another news cycle instead of putting an end to this one. the lawsuit calls those messages a desperate attempt to convince ms. clifford to lie tohe american public about her relationship with mr. trump. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? why did michael cohen make that if there was no -- >> you'll have to ask michael cohen. >> do you know where he got the money to make that payment? >> i don't know. >> and it claims president trump knew about the conversation between davidson and cohen because

davidson in an attempt to manipulate miss clifford in a manner to benefit mr. cohen and mr. trump.message is that it appears the two men tried to get her a spot on sean hannity's program on fox news so she could go on and deny the details of the affair. it appears that didn't happen. you see between the back and forth of the text messages cohen at some points getting very frustrated at davidson for not being able to make this happen. the bigger picture and the significance of this is that michael avenatti, the current lawyer for stormy daniels, his strategy has been very clear. he has wanted to argue with the public that trump and the people close to trump, namely michael cohen, about that he have not been honest with the public and they want to show that there was something nefarious going on, that if a lawyer -- when you hire a lawyer, they are supposed to represent your interests and your interests only. why would keith davidson who is supposed to be representing stormy daniels be secretly speaking with michael cohen to try to prevent this story from coming out? >> stay with me,

davidson says, still trying. cohen, this is no good, we need her by doing tomorrow, just create another news cycle instead of putting an end to this one. some of it is not grammatically correct here. and the story is dying, and don't think it's smart for her to do any interviews. let her do her thing but no interviews with anyone. davidson says 100%, and then he says thanks, pal. that's what cohen says. this is the same day that in touch magazine published the excerpts where stormy daniels gave details about the affair. how does this prove they were colluding with each other against your client? >> well, don, i think the text messages attached to the complaint make the clear these two guys were in bed with one another, no pun intended. i mean mr. davidson was supposed to be adverse to mr. cohen, supposed to be representing my client. they had no reason to be communicating whatsoever at this point. the agreement was supposedly completed prior, although as you know it's our claim that it wasn't. that it wasn't a va

i don't like harley-davidson look at what's at stake for harley-davidson in the u.s it has roughly half of the market when it comes to motorcycles in the united states its q one sales were down 12% that made not necessarily the indication of harley-davidson's struggling as much as there's soft demand right now when it comes to motorcycles in the united states so as you look at shares of harley-davidson, i know a lot of people will be saying well, will they ultimately say something will they respond because they're getting beaten up? there's two ways to handle this if you're a ceo, melissa, as far as i can tell because i cover so many companies that have been attacked by president trump. you either go to the white house or go to the president and you have a conversation and ultimately make a deal, you saw that with boeing, remember the air force one project. now they get along swimmingly or you don't say anything which is what we've seen from general motors, toyota, the german automakers you just sit there and take it and you don't respond the way that you might ordinarily if somebody at

suing davidson on roughly the same grounds.legal analyst mimi rocah. what do you think of the complaint filed today? >> looking at it from a former prosecutor's point of view, i think it's most interesting the text messages and what they tell us about the money that was paid to stormy daniels. if you remember back when we first learned about that payment, everyone was debating you know, we talked more lots about whether that was an inkind contribution, was it a payment to influence the election. these tests are pretty much smoking gun evidence that those, that was an inkind contribution because the defense was going to be, no, no, this was just to keep the story so you know, trump's wife wouldn't hear about it. didn't want the embarrassment. >> nothing to do with the election in a few weeks. >> exactly. you don't pay someone to go on fox news and deny it if all you're doing all you care about is keeping it from melania. you do that if you want it out into the public and into the story and into the election debate. >> right. >>

then when davidson asked cohen, are you calling? cohen responds by saying, i'm with flotus, give me a minutes. now what is fascinating about all of this, wo is that based on our prerting, we know that this is a weekend when the trumps were at mar-largo in florida and we also know that michael cohen was a -- in part -- at mar-a-largo, excuse , as well. so we know that michael cohen was there and we know that the first lady was there and it appears that at one point he couldn't get on the phone with keith davidson basket e becau--s in the presence of the first lady. >> and there is also a statement we're just getting in from michael avenatti. or if this is a statement from keith davidson, the former lawyer? >> that is right. we have a pretty strong statement from a spokesperson for keith davidson, let me read a pt of he sd this is all a publicity tour. quote, this outrageous frivolous lawsuit is yet another desperate attempt by michael avenatti continue this publicity tour the truth can now finally come out t rebut t false narrative a

davidson. is no good. we nder as by doing tomorrow cycle instead of putting an end to this one. this is another character. they want h to go on sean hannity who is another michael cohen client we learn after the raid into michael cohen's home and offices. can you help me understand how stormy daniels ended up with an attorney that was part of donald trump's clean-up crew? i'm really having a hard time understanding how st ended up with someone who was supposed to represent her legal equities, who is a member of the president's legal and cleaner upper crew. >> again, nicolle, we don't know. but we're going to get to the bottom of it. did you ask storm, how did you meet this guy? is it possible that michael cohen recommend a lawy was on donald trump's team? >> no, i can assure you that did not happen. michael cohen did not refer stormy daniels to keith davidson to be clear. that did not happen. but here is what i will tell you, nicolle. if you look at these text messages, especially the exchange

we've been writing about this. >> maria: harley davidson. >> harley davidson, locker manufacturers, allrt by this. what do you say to workers who are losing their jobs? >> look, i'm not defending the specific decision with regard to the tariff. that's a whole different topic. what i'm talking about is the peace of mind that most investors have that if they have a professional intermediary, a fiduciary advisor between them and chaos, have you a learned professional saying to an individual don't worry, here's why,' here's how we're protectig you, even with the turmoil that's happening. >> maria: i feel like up until yesterday, investors felt that okay, we're just going to trust the president on this. he's playing poker. he's in the middle of a negotiation. what happened yesterday that it was just a mixed message that you said that all of a sudden got investors so nervous dis the >> dagen: the market was down last week. the concern about how this trade war would play out -- it's not just with china. this is related to picking fights with allies, whether it's canada and mexico and the whole

harley-davidson has to look out for the best interests of harley-davidson and shareholders. i love riding my harley. lots of americans do. i don't think that's going to change. i think they're going to keep making the bikes they sell in america in america and there say lot of demand for their bike around the world and they have a huge opportunity to grow that market. my hope is they can do it from the united states of america, tax reform was a big step in that direction. but there are other factors. and this plan isn't something that just spun off as tariffs, you couldn't spin this off that fast, and it may be a contributing factor, but i think they're not going to make something this permanent over a temporary tariff. >> wow. who is to say it is temporary. christine romans went through all the numbers here and how much it would cost them to keep the production here with the new eu tariffs that are a response to the president's tariffs. republican senator ben sass says the problem isn't that harley is unpatriotic, it is that tariffs are stupid. they're a tax increase on amer

products, including harley-davidson. now, in a statement, harley made its displeasure with the current situation known. writing, we are assessing the impact on our u.s. facilities. we are hopeful the u.s. and eu governments will continue to work together to reach an agreement on trade issues and rescind these tariffs. by the way, it is not just motorcycles. products including whiskey, and typically kentucky whiskey, bourbon, juice, boats, and playing cards have been hit with this tariff hammer. with me is my old friend from cnbc, phil lebeau. he covers the auto industry, including the motorcycle industry. phil, you're an expert on this. before there was nafta, there was a free trade agreement with canada. >> right. >> before there was a free trade agreement, this was the auto pact with canada. all of this is based on the success of an integrated auto manufacturing industry. when we talk about tariffs, particularly on motorized things, this strikes to the heart of what a lot of people say is the most successful trading re

fan and was so into harley davidsons.t see this as an attack that trump gains anything from. this shows the disconnect from his base that he says the aura of harley davidson will go away. never. i'm sorry, you have never met a harley supporter. >> what's in it for the president, these sort of intrabased fights? it seems to be a giant loser for him. >> i have no idea why aura was capitalized in that tweet. there's no strategic thought process here. this is reaction. scorned was right. it's not just that he identified with this emblematic american country. but also the bikers for trump rally in d.c., like he really likes that idea of this sort of macho traditional american men mostly but women too supporting his candidacy. this is him lashing out. it's impulse. there's no one in there that could tell him, sorry, this makes no sense. >> it's disgusting but it makes sense. first of all, he will pick a fight against anybody that crosses him. he's like a mafia boss. it's that simple. what he's saying is, i'm going to decide if

another a few american symbols more iconic than the harley davidson motorcycle. i . i. very soon could all come to an end president donald trump has now lashed out at a motorcycle maker over holley davidson's plans to shift production away from its united states base. harley davidson is using deficit excuse and i don't like that because i've been very good at arlington which you know they use that as an excuse and i think the people that right are always are not happy with harley davidson and i wouldn't be either but mostly companies are coming back to work. on twitter trump even threaten the company saying that if harley davidson doesn't move it will be the beginning of the end and they'll be taxed like never before harley davidson of course planned to move some of their manufacturing to europe to avoid newly imposed e.u. tariffs when exporting to the continent the company says the move will save nearly one hundred million dollars per year in taxes. and the backdrop to that story of course the e.u. recently slapping import charges on american goods including most of wo

he's doing it to harley-davidson.nd i don't have a problem with him wanting a company to keep business in the united states. the part with harley-davidson is most of the business now is overseas and it is still losing business here and gaining business in europe. >> well it is interesting about harley, people forget, jake, as we put this on the big board and think about, 35 years ago ronald reagan saved harley-davidson. how did he save it? by imposing a huge draconian tariff on japanese motorcycles. tariffs from japanese motorcycles are 4%. reagan raised it to 49.4%, allowing harley-davidson to have a financial buffer, retool, fix some of the motorcycles and then compete on the global market. so they were saved by big tariffs befo the harley leadership is solidly never trumper so they don't like this president and they are moving overseas. this company was saved by tariffs now they are decrying them. >> they are different tariffs. >> different tariff but they were saved by tariffs. >> to me it is a bigger conversation
