next three speakers, michael adams, fred mohime, and mark gonzalez. so mr. adams, welcome. >> thank you very much. michael adams with the small grassroots group city college first coalition, one of several groups springing up to try to address the potential for transferring the balboa reservoir, which we call the west parking lot, to private developers, at great consequences, negative consequences, to students and neighborhoods. during previous moves to put housing in that reservoir, serious concerns were raised about the safety of the basin, especially involving fire and drought situations. no one is addressing this as it's already a basin, which never had water in it, but the potential is there. all parties involved have publicly admitted that no research has been done current and future ridership needs of the 20,000 students a day that attend city college's main campus and need to get to their classes ontime, to say nothing about professors that have to move from site to site and need their cars. muni is great, but it's often late. they had voted to finis

adam johnson. i'm with you, michael. i'm with the president. should get more from china, but adam, nobody asked. imagine that, nobody's bothered to say, hey, you know, maybe this isn't fair. maybe we ought to make a little bit of a deal out of it. >> so let me actually just give you some data that helps you understand why president trump has taken the tact that he has taken. look at who figures, just about every country has tariffs. which all do. in the u.s. we tax with tariffs 3 1/2% of imports that come in. in canada it is 4%. in the eu it is 5%. but in china it is 9.9%. in other words the chinese -- trish: tariff is 9.9% or tax almost 10%? >> they put tariffs on 9.9% of the imports going into china. trish: i'm actually surprised it is not higher frankly. >> i think it is higher. trish: i've seen some of the numbers. taxes on anything we put in. >> that is most-favored nation status. if you look at trading partners quote, unquote, most favored, they still impose 9.9% tariffs. so do we but 3 1/2. trish: they're taxing almost 10% of all imports

michael scott and adam smith were in the country when news of the missing soccer team broke and are planning to talk to thai navy s.e.a.l.s, the victims and their families for an exclusive right to the story. >>> in gma first look, another miracle. authorities in alaska working to find out what caused the crash of a small plane in a remote area. >> all people on board survived. will carr has the details. >> in gma first look, 11 people miraculously walking away from the wreckage of this plane crash on the side of an alaskan mountain. from this aerial picture, you can see the white plane surrounded by rocks in southeast alaska. somehow it's still intact. the propellers twisted. the passengers shaken. no one died on the single engine float plane went down. the pilot immediately calling 911. two u.s. coast guard helicopters swooped in through dangerous fog and low visibility. they hoisted the passengers and the pilot into one helicopter. >> they're all able to walk on their own power. because of that, we fit more folks into the aircraft. >> more on this s story at 7:00 a.m. with your gma first

. >> one of michael cohen's attorneys declined to comment when contacted by cnn. adam schiff when contacted. if this was true, it means he appealed to russia for help, but privately approved receiving it. the conspiracy case may have gotten stronger. >> as part of the investigation into michael cohen, "the wall street journal" reporting the finance chief of the trump organization allen weissberg has been called to testify in front of the federal grand jury. he is a witness in the probe of possible bank fraud or campaign finance violations by cohen. weissberg's name came up in the recording of trump and cohen that cohen's lawyer gave cnn this week. the two men talked during the campaign about possibly buying the rights to the former playmates story claiming she had an affair with mr. trump. >> i need to open a company for the transfer of that information regarding our friend david. i will do that right away. >> give it to me. >> i have spoken to allen weissberg about how to set the whole thing up. i'm all over that. i spoke to allen about it. when it comes time for the

adam schiff told michael isikoff on a podcast of his, we don't want to talk about impeachment. so when we get into is collusion a crime or not, it's what is the bar that they're willing to say that donald trump is responsible for what vladimir putin did. that's the bar. now, when you look at the mueller indictent and the mueller indictment makes a pount to say, well, they tried to hack hillary's e-mails when donald trump said russia. i think he said it glibly. i wouldn't have said it, but he said it. if you have hillary clinton's 30,000 e-mails, please release them. remember, it's very important. he was talking about the state department e-mails that we have never seen. >> right. mueller is pointing out -- i mean he didn't draw direct parallel, but he did say that same day, later that day, they made the effort. >> look, i think that mueller has systematically -- is systematically, and in a way we can talk about his bias and his conflict. there is some. but has systematically made the argument to give the impetus to the democrats and some republicans who would be very happy to s

adam: former trump attorney michael cohen claiming the president knew in advance about the infamous trumpetween his son, donald trump, jr., and the russians offering dirt on hillary clinton during the 2016 election. the president's current lawyer rudy giuliani, had this to say. >> i guarranty you, this guy is a proven liar. >> i hear what you're saying. >> a year ago, when he wasn't his lawyer, people in your profession told me this guy will flip because he is inherent pathological liar. adam: here now is retired harvard law professor and author of the case against impeaching trump, alan dershowitz. good to have you here, professor dershowitz. let me ask you, trying to figure out this claim, whether it's real or not, does it help anybody? who does it hurt? because we don't have any evidence, even cnn, which had the story first, said there was no evidence that mr. cohen could prove this claim. >> if this is the best cohen can offer i don't think he will get a deal from the prosecutor because this does not provide any evidence of a crime, even assuming, which is very unlikely, assuming that

adam: this is the thoughts of michael partner. he is a strategist at bank of america.is time to put on the andt think -- faang trade see declines. that has been a fool's errand over the past few years area there have been a number of opportunities where people have said is over, valuation getting too stretched. the leaders thomas their time has come, now you want to short these things. michael think now is the time -- thanks now is the time. is theael thinks now time. it was very significant because of the size and magnitude of the record one-day decline in facebook, but it is part of a bigger trend. he is talking about the way stocks performed going into the late cycle when the fed continues to tighten monetary policy and some air comes out of the balloon keeping these stocks running. it is tough to call at this stage whether it is a good trade to put on. he thinks it is. there has been a number of times in the past where people have called this trade and have been hammered hard in the short squeeze. we will keep a close eye on this. haidi: we had continued slide in t

michael smith and adam goldman report that in the months since rod rosenstein reached out to people includings how his reputation fared and his fraugs with the white house and members of congress who targeted him. michael schmidt joins us now. how has rod rosenstein private relationship is different from publicly. he seems cool. you can see he's obviously frustrated with what's going on. >> he's very angry. he thinks that the president really wanted to fire comey but used him in his rationalization as the basis for that. that deeply bothers him. this gets at a critical period of time last year between the firing and the appointment of mueller and how rod rosenstein dealt with that. he had provided the memo to the white house, to the president. they went out. they read it on the north lawn of the white house the day that comey was fired saying that comey had to go for how he treated hillary clinton. it blew back on rod rosenstein, he had only been the deputy attorney general for two weeks at that point and then in the days that follows he comes to a decision to appoint mueller, obviously the b

michael singh, senior fellow at the washington institute. the former sinn fein president gerry adamstack on his home in west belfast to meet him. an explosive device was thrown at the house last night. it follows several nights of rioting in londonderry, which police have blamed on dissident republicans. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page reports. people in northern ireland had hoped these scenes had disappeared from their streets. but in the last week, there's been an unwelcome reminder that paramilitary violence has not ended. in londonderry, there were six nights of trouble in the bogside area. police blamed dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process. sinn fein condemned the rioting, and this may have been the retaliation for that — an explosive device, made up of large fireworks, was thrown at the home of the party's former leader, gerry adams. he appealed for calm and had a message for those who targeted him. i'd like them or their representatives to come and meet me. i'd like them to sit down and explain to me what this is about. i'd like those who are involv

lifornia congressman adam schiff tweeting that it shows the extraordinary langths republ will go to protect president trump. >> michael cohen's secret tape sparking very public firestorm on capitol hill this morning. the release of the recording from before theleion has only furthered the rift between president trump and his long timeer la on the tape then candidate trump appears to discuss a payoff to silenc a former play boy model who claimed to have an affair with him. as nbc's hallie jackson ports, the question now is does that tape spell new legal jeopardy for the present? >> reporter: outside and inside, shouts drawing smirks in the oval office wit reporters pushing the president to talk abt that tape betweenim and his former attorney. >> did michael cohen betray >> thank you very much. >> reporter: no response repeatedly on twitter presidee trump mor talkative asking what kind of lawyer would tape a client? so sad. it's new fallout from a recently revealed recording in widch the present and michael cohen pear to casually discuss hush money payment to keep a play boy model quiet about an alleged o affair the pre

but michael avenatti is here and he has a novel take on what's going on with these tapes. adam schiff was here already to talk about what rudy giuliani's been saying about the president possibly cooperating or not with the mueller investigation. we'll get his take on what his read of this tape is as both a former prosecutor and member of congress. but rachel, i think this is -- this is the night that the president has been preparing his followers for. just today saying don't believe what you see, don't believe what you read. he knew this was coming because rudy giuliani had been working all day on the response to the public release of this because cnn told them that they had the tape and it was coming. >> and it remains an open question as to why we learned about the existence of the tape when we first got word that this tape existed. to my eye, my sort of practiced eye watching these guys, it feels to me like this was leaked from the trump side to sort of get out ahead of this story and put their own spin on it before the tape inevitably came out. now that the tape is out, cer

. >> michael avenatti, the lawyer for stormy daniels, thank you very much, thanks for joining us by phone. adam schiff, the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, is here with us here in aspen, at a nearby location. thank you very much, congressman. i know you and other members, democratic members of congress have been asking for the release of these michael cohen tapes. >> well, look, my take on this is that michael cohen should cooperate with the authorities. he should cooperate with the southern district of new york. and in terms of any public release, i would defer to the prosecutors. it's my hope that he will decide to cooperate. i would imagine that the southern district of new york right now is going through that mountain of evidence that they seized from michael cohen. they probably are not in a position where they can offer a deal to michael cohen until they can assess what evidence they have. the last thing the prosecutors are going to want to do is agree, this will be the limit of your liability pursuant to an agreement to cooperate and then find out that there is evid

adam schiff says he also wants trump junior back. he wants to extend an invite to michaelohen as well while they're at it. democrats do not control either of those committees, so you could look at those as kind of wishes, at least under the current organization until anything might change in a future election. over on the house intel committee, republicans have already closed out what they view as their russia probe months ago, done. so can democrats get any fresh answers from trump junior now? do they get another crack at that? or is this all a kind of a fan fiction showing how they would use their subpoena power, how they would run this investigation if something changes in the november midterms. for more i turn to congressman eric swalwell. he is of course a member of this house intelligence committee. congressman swalwell and other members of the committee met with donald trump jr. for several hours. first of all, thank you for making time for us tonight. i appreciate it. >> good evening, ari. >> good evening. when you look at this, if it's true that trump junior told

adamant that he was opposed to things that mr. trump was doing, like attacking the media. he felt that was wrong. and that was a very serious michael cohen that i met with this morning about he was in a situation he feels he was unfairly thrust upon. >> as a man of the cloth. you know the idea of doing right by your country, and doing right by your family isn't always the same thing. >> that's exactly what i counselled. and i think that is exactly what he said he was going to do. we didn't get into what that truth is. but clearly, i got the impression that whatever he knows, he is going to be forth coming. now you that will be whether that is cooperation with those that are saying that mr. trump is doing things or not, we'll see. but out of all the people he could reach out to, reaching out to me is sending a signal to mr. trump and prosecutors that he will not be one who has been fighting for decades on social justice issues. >> everybody who knows you knows where you stand on political issues. and michael cohen has reached out to you, and to george stephanopoulos. interesting choices. what do you think was behind this outreach? >

adamant about that. and morgan and daniel are not trump -- shifting attention to china to get away with the egregious and capitulation to russia. the michaelhen issue, he's not a reputable guy. we know that. rudy giuliani said pathological liar, i don't know about that, i know why he's doing it. there is tape of him praising michael cohen, it ebbs and flows with who is upsetting his client or putting his client in danger. michael cohen says, as well, other people knew about this in the meeting, i think that is where the key is. if you have him testify, i don't know how credible he is, if you name other people that were there and who knew and remember the issue when the story came out, that apparently president trump dictated the letter on air force one and there is a lot surrounding this, it is hard to believe he was in the building just a few floors away and don junior had the people in the building and didn't say anything to the candidate. >> harris: could don junior be in serious trouble if he lied -- >> i'm not majority, but it has been said for quite sometime anybody in the meeting might be in trouble based on who they met with, you a

adamant that he was opposed to some of the things mr. trump was doing like attacking the media. he felt that that was wrong. and it was a very, very serious michaelohen that i met with this morning about he was in a situation he feels he was unfairly thrust upon. >> so, rev, as a man of the cloth, you no he that that idea of doing what is right for your country and your family aren't always the same thing. was there any sense of what he meant by that? doing right by the country is telling everybody exactly what happened. and doing right by your family is the thing that will keep you out of jail. >> that's exactly what i counselled. i think that is exactly what he said he was going to do. we didn't get into what that truth is. but clearly i got the impression that whatever he knows, he is going to be forthcoming. now how that will be and whether that is cooperation with the -- those that are saying that mr. trump has done things or not, we'll see. but i think the fact that out of all of the people that he could have reached out to, reaching out to me in and of itself was sending a signal to president trump. and probably the prosecutors that he was

reimbursement and he's adamant that it is not and it has legal implication and of the finance piece of this. in his telling of it, it was trump that says let's do it properly and it was michael cohen who either suggested cash or did not suggest a check in the first place. someone close to cohen denied that version of event suggesting that the presentation which, the candidate says let's do this is not how this went out and we are not going to know without hearing of the conversation that is short. it is around 2 minutes long and it cuts off before the conversation is done. there are portions of it that's inaudible in the transcript. and, i think it would have to be heard by any of us to really understand what it is being said. it under cuts what the campaign told the sexual street journal of october 15th that they knew nothing about this. whether hope hicks is aware of that, i don't know, maybe it is possible that donald trump did not tell her the truth. it raises the president's credibility at the time. >> it is amazing, that rudy giuliani says let's take either one. they were discussing additional payment to mcdougal, well, we are not paying for her silence, we are paying

adam schiff from the house intelligence committee and the national security adviser of president obama, susan rice. plus, bombshell tape. >> are you concerned with the tapes? >> the president's former lawyer michael cohen recorded trump back in 2016, discussing payments related to "playboy" bunny, karen mcdougal. the president responded with his first twitter attack on michael cohen. how will cohen respond, does he have more damaging information on trump, how will it shape the investigations? stormy daniels' attorney, michael avenatti joins dan abrams on our legal panel. and our powerhouse roundtable, we'll talk about the politics, the facts that matter this week. >> from abc news, it is "this week." here now chiefnd welcome to "this week." what a week it was, and i know we have said that a lot over the last couple of years, but this may rank as one of the most head-spinning and consequential yet. the sight of an american president standing side by side with a russian dictator echoing vladimir putin's talking points may not have been a surprise to those who follow trump's twitter feed, but it was still shocking. several days of walkbacks haven't clarified things much. nearly all that trump and pu
