EACH MEMBER WILL GET SEVEN
MINUTES TO QUESTION POMPEII --
POMPEO TO PUT HIM IN THE HOT
FROM NOW, NEIL.
NEIL: THANK YOU, HILLARY.
THE BACK AND FORTH WITH OF THE
TAPE RECORDING WITH BETWEEN
MICHAEL COHEN WITH SOON TO BE
WHERE IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR THE
PRESIDENT WAS APPROVING A PAYOUT
WE CAN DEBATE THIS UNTIL THE
COWS COME HOME HERE TO FORMER
"PLAYBOY" MODEL DID HE.
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR LISA BOOTH
WHETHER THIS IS DISTRACTING FROM
A LOT OF OTHER GOOD STUFF GOING
ON.
I SHOULD STRESS, LISA, WHATEVER
YOU MAKE OF THE TAPE, THE TICKER
READ OF WALL STREET REACTION IS
LIKE COLLECTIVE SHRUG.
>> OF COURSE IT IS A DISTRACTION
BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING
PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW.
NEIL: HE TWEETED ABOUT IT,
RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
IS THIS HIS PREVIOUS PRESENCE
FOR CONVERSATION OF THE DAY?
IT IS OUT IN THE MEDIA.
HE IS GETTING QUESTIONS AND HE
WANTS TO TRY TO CLARIFY.
THIS IS DISTRACTION IN THE SENSE
THIS ISN'T WHAT HE WANTS TO BE
TALKING ABOUT.
IN A SENSE I END DO I THISES IT
HAIM PACK NECESSARILY ON HIS
PRESIDENCY OR WAY MOST OF HIS
SUPPORTERS VIEW HIM.
ULTIMATELY IF THERE IS I AM
CRIME TOOK PLACE, WHICH WE DON'T
KNOW ABOUT YET, IF THERE WAS
ONE, THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE
MUCH BIGGER IMPACT.
NEIL: LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
I'M NOT A LAWYER.
>> ME EITHER.
>> I WATCH "LAW & ORDER." SO
WE'RE BASICALLY LAWYERS.
NEIL: HERE IS WHAT I WONDER
ABOUT.
WHETHER HE PAID CASH OR NOT,
WHETHER THAT IS LEGAL OR NOT.
OBVIOUSLY THE SOURCE OF THE
CAMPAIGN, I'M TOLD BY OTHER
LAWYERS PERFECTLY FINE.
STILL HAVING SAID THAT $150,000
IN CASH, YOU DON'T SEE THAT
EVERY DAY.
THAT IS A LITTLE WEIRD, RIGHT?
>> OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT A GOOD
WHITE HOUSE WANTS TO BE TALKING
ABOUT.
ABOUT HEADING INTO 2020 FOR
INSTANCE, THINGS LIKE THE
ECONOMY.
THINGS THAT IMPACT THEM ON A
PERSONAL LEVEL WHERE THIS DOES
NOT.
LET'S BE HONEST.
IF THIS WAS VICE PRESIDENT PENCE
AND THIS NEWS WAS HITTING, THAT
WOULD HAVE MUCH BIGGER IMPACT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN HONEST
ABOUT HIS LIFE-STYLE, THINGS
I THINK VOTERS ARE VERY AWARE OF
THAT HEADING INTO THE POLLS ON
ELECTION DAY.
IF YOU GO BACK IN TIME BECAUSE
SAY WHAT YOU WILL OF HIM, PEOPLE
COVERING THIS, PREFERRED TO HAVE
HIM IN OFFICE THAN OUT OF OFFICE
BECAUSE HE WAS VERY GOOD FOR THE
MARKETS AND ECONOMY.
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE HIM GO.
>> THINGS IN THE ECONOMY ARE
STRONG.
POLLING A MONTH AGO, 10-YEAR
EITHER GOOD OR EXCELLENT.
THINGS LIKE THAT I THINK WILL
HAVE BIGGER IMPACT FOR BOTH
REPUBLICANS IN MIDTERMS.
NEIL: I DEFINITELY THINK YOU'RE
RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
ALONG COMES ELIZABETH WARREN
WITH INTERVIEW ON CNBC, SHE
TALKS UP IDEA OF GETTING RID OF
THE TAX CUTS, RAISING TOP RATE
UPWARDS TO 50%.
PEOPLE ARE REMINDED, WAIT, SAY
WHAT YOU WILL OF THIS GUY, HE IS
NOT TAKING THAT APPROACH.
>> EXACTLY.
LOOK, I THINK CERTAINLY DOES
HELP PRESIDENT TRUMP.
JUXTAPOSITION, WHAT WILL HAPPEN,
EVEN SAY DEMOCRATS TAKE OVER THE
WHAT IS THE LATEST HANDICAP?
>> IT IS TOUGH.
SO EARLY.
MAJORITY OF THE RACES I WORKED
ON YOU REALLY START TO SEE
THINGS TURN AROUND SEPTEMBER
TIME.
I THINK JUST SHEER AMOUNT OF
RETIREMENTS THAT REPUBLICANS
HAVE HAD IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT
IS MUCH EASIER TO GET REELECTED
AS INCUMBENT.
NOT HAVING THAT --
NEIL: I THINK REPUBLICANS WILL
LOSE, AGAIN, CONJECTURE,
REPUBLICANS WILL LOSE A LOT OF
SEATS IN THE HOUSE BUT NOT LOSE
CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
>> DON'T KNOW YET.
NEIL: I THINK YOU DO KNOW.
YOU'RE BLOCKING.
>> OOH I'M NOT.
SENATE FOR SURE I CAN GO DOWN AS
HOUSE WILL BE A LOT OF SEATS
LOST.
NEIL: REPUBLICAN HOUSE, CHANGE
DYNAMICS FOR FULL PRESS TO
IMPEACH THE GUY?
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE DUMB OF
DEMOCRATS IF THEY DO.
SURE AS HECK HURTS TRUMP IN HIS
EFFORT TO MOVE THINGS ACROSS THE
FINISH LINE IN TERMS OF
LEGISLATION.
IN TERMS OF GETTING ANYTHING
DONE, BETWEEN NOW AND 2020.
WOULD MAKE THAT A LOT MORE
DIFFICULT, WHICH DOES IMPACT HIS
THE BOARD BECAUSE THEY WILL
OBSTRUCT THAT PROCESS.
IT HAS MASSIVE SIM PACK.
NEIL: IF ECONOMY ALWAYS DECIDES
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING COMES BACK TO THAT.
>> ECONOMY, STUPID.
NOT YOU STUPID.
NEIL: CALL ME STUPID, OKAY, FINE
I LIKE HAVE YOU AS GUEST.
RUDY GIULIANI IS COMMENTING ON
MICHAEL COHEN THING, IF HE COULD
HEN IS TELLING TRUTH, WHY ARE
ARE THEY LEAKING PRIVILEGED
INFORMATION.
SO MUCH FOR ETHIC.
>> I THINK A LOT OF INFORMATION
WILL SURFACE COMING WEEKS AND
DAYS.
THERE IS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.
CLEARLY THERE IS DEEP DIVIDE
BETWEEN TWO CAMPS.
LANNY DAVIS SAYS THERE IS LOT
MORE COMING AND A LOT MORE
INFORMATION.
IS IT EMBARRASSING OR
DISTRACTIONS AND THINGS THEY
WEIRD.
JUST WEIRD.
>> MY UNDERSTANDING FROM WHAT
I'VE HEARD FROM ATTORNEYS, WHICH
I AM NOT TO BE CLEAR.
MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE, IF IT IS
CASH OR CHECK.
MORE WHERE THE SOURCE, IF IT
CAME FROM CAMPAIGN MONEY.
NEIL: CAME FROM THE CAMPAIGN AND
WENT RIGHT TO THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER," STOPPED THERE TO STOP
A STORY, RAISES OTHER ISSUES.
LAWS BROKEN TO BE CLEAR.
THERE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO.
NEIL: THEN AGAIN YOU'RE NOT A
LEGAL SHOWS AS I HAVE.
YOU MIGHT --
>> I WILL GO HOME, WATCH "LAW &
