for him it seems in many cases like the goal more than Anything Else is the actual meeting. He feels the responsibility to come up with some deal that would be better than anything we have had in the past when he gets to the Negotiating Table that hasnt happened yet in terms of north korea. We will see what happens with respect to russia. He just said we are keeping the sanctions on russia for the time being. There hasnt been evidence that he has been able to negotiate his ways out of the tense relationships but certainly it is going to be more complicated to facilitate on The World Stage if he is serious about it than some of these other encounters. We will have to see how the iranians respond to this given the president s tough rhetoric toward iran just in the last few days. He said look i like meetings, i like to me. To your point. David on a broader level, when he is standing across from the italian Prime Minister conte. The midterm elections . Probably. Thats something that we do have a disagreement on. Homeland security wont get funded before the mid terms . Probable me not. But most of the government will be covered. And then at the end of the year if we cant reach an agreement on that we will do what is called a continuing resolution for that little portion of the Government Spending thats left unpassed . Individual bills. You are not worried about a government shuttown. No thats not going to happen. Mcconnell not worried about a government shutdown. The president was very clearly i would be certainly willing to shut it down to debt it done. Julie, he did say he does to the have a red line here. He also though did not talk about dates. Thats important especially had he you take into account what we just heard from mitch mcconnell. He clearly relishes this fight. I think he relishes talking about the fight probably more than he actually relishes having it. From the very beginning the president has been really
frustrated at his inability to get a significant amount of wall funding in any of the spending agreements that congress has been able to reach. You remember earlier this year he had a few hours there where he was threatening to veto a huge Omnibus Spending Bill because it didnt have wall funding. He feels strongly. He thinks it activates the Republican Base in a way that will be helpful to republican candidates in the midterm congressional elections. I think thats why we are continuing to hear him talking more and more approximate it. I think Republican Leaders and the Rank And File for sure take issue with him on that. They would rather not talk about a wall and a shutdown over the wall in the midterm elections where suburban voters, independents, and those who are not core republicans necessarily are really crucial to republicans ability to maintain the congress. But the president very much relishes this debate. Relishes the debate. Relishes the idea of a fight. David, is this at all concerned about those republicans who
dont want to see it for the very reasons that julie just laid out . He is very concerned about himself. I think at some point there will be a political adviser asking do you want to shut down the government before the midterm elections. There are candidates like dean heller who may lose this fight. Im sure that will be conveyed to him eventually. But i would say there is close to a 0 chance he gets Border Funding before this midterm election. You heard it from Senator Mcconnell. I dont think Senator Mcconnell will allow the government to shut down. But look, President Trump is completely unpredictable. Thats the one thing that we can say about it. I think once it gets closer and he sees how closely contested these elections are and how power of the Republican Party hinges on them he will probably back off of those statements. We will be watching for all of that. David, julie we appreciate it as always. Thank you. How much will some of that
be a distraction for one of the things the president wasnt talking about .

Investigation President Trump has repeated time and time again the words we know so well, no collusion. Today President Trumps attorney Rudy Giuliani telling cnn he is not sure collusion with russia would even be considered a crime. Take a listen. They are not going to be klute clu colluding about russians. I dont know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. You start analyzing the crime. The hacking is the crime. All this as the president is launching a new strategy to discredit Special CounselRebound Mueller AllegingConflicts Of Interests and a business relationship. My colleague asked july jewel to explain. He is referring to a dispute which i imagine mueller would have reported to rosenstein because it involves something that actually wasnt settled to this day. But thats up to the president and mueller to describe. You describe it mueller, stan up and be a man. This doesnt make sense. How can the president make this climb and not support it . He doesnt have to. Why is it up to Robert Mueller to uphold the president s tweet. He has the conflict. Not the president. Whats the conflict. I cant tell you. I dont know. If its the one i think it is, it is good enough to have to have kept him out of the investigation. Joining us now a panel. I actually want to start just where allison left off there. That is something that is remark lk. We are to the getting any detail from ju july nor from the president after this tweet that called on mueller to reveal his Conflicts Of Interest. He was appointed by this administration. The Department Of Justice ethics experts looked at him saying no problem you are good to go you can do this job. What if something fell through the cracks. If the president stumbled on a legitimate conflict of interest for Robert Mueller more than a year in. I think you are right, i think its unlikely there is a new conflict of interest we havent already heard about and been cleared. Giuliani said stand up and be a man and address this. Thats not how prosecutors work. They dont address it over twitter. They would apply in a court of law if there was a motion filed against this. Which is the venue that giuliani based on his own career would know ibt matly. Incredible in and of itself. We are seeing a shift. They were saying no collusion, no collusion, now giuliani saying its not really a crime. Is this a smart strategy to start laying the groundwork, no matter what happens, nothing the see her. Collusion not a crime. If there is evidence out there that is going to make it difficult for you to continue to assert there was no collusion f. There was no evidence out there i dont think we would see the shift in strategy. What it tells me is there is something that Rudy Giuliani has seen that made him decide that a shift is important. Its quite a shift. We have been hearing no collusion quite a bit. Now we are Hearing Collusion is not a crime. Technically speaking thats correct in the sense that there is no word collusion that you will signed find u. S. Code. But there are plenty of crimes that involve cooperating with russians. For example, criminal conspiracy, foreign contributions to a president ial candidate in the United States which Robert Mueller did charge a number of russians with doing, that would be effectively what we would call collusion. There is also sort of this new line on collusion. There is still this old familiar one when it comes to the investigation itself. And the tweets that we saw from the president over the weekend trying to discredit of course the Special Counsel and each
sort of grasping at statues when it comes to twitter. Heres what giuliani had to say specifically to allison about those tweets. Take a listen. If they are looking at his tweets, the investigation is done. If they are we are going to do obstruction by tweet, on the president of the United States as an article of impeachment. Read the Law Review Articles about that its laughable. It is a scary. Number one we want to point out time and time again we dont know where the investigation stands. Theres no time line to this investigation. Yul joule though seems to be laughing it off saying if we are at the point where we are looking at this obstruction by tweet there must be nothing left it sound like thats what he is saying. Is it a smart move for giuliani to be saying this less than 24 hours after his client slammed the special down is he will in a tweet . Look as we have said before Obstruction Of Justice can come in many different ways. Kit certainly come with bribing a witness. It can come with threatening with somebody with a crow bar. It can also come with a tweet. As long as the sense is there, you can justify the Obstruction Of Justice statute. For giuliani to be saying they are b desperate if they are going after obstruction by tweet i dont think they are understanding the fact that obstruction can be proved bly many ways. Can be proved in many ways. How concerning should the tweets be at this point . I would be extremely concerned if the i was the president. I think at this point i would be surprised if Robert Mueller didnt conclude that the president obstructed justice. There is a lot of evidence out there. Twoets are one form of communication. Tweets are one form of communication. There is a lot of evidence that the president had an been the obstruct or impede the investigation. He did more than just tweet. He fired james comey. He tried to pressure the Attorney General to unrecuse himself. He wasnt concerned about Conflicts Of Interest in that circumstances. I think Robert Mueller should be using all of the president s
words and thoughts and actions when evaluating his intent. I guess we will have to so what that eventual evaluation is. Thank you both for coming in today.

All this coming after the new yorker broke the story which detailed how six women accused moonves of sexual harassment. Chen speaking out about the allegations for the first time on camera just a short time ago. Some of you may be aware of what has been going on in my life. I issued The One And Only statement i will ever make on this topic on twitter. And i will stand by that statement today, tomorrow, forever. So that Statement Reads i have known my husband Leslie Moonves since the late 90s and i have been married to him almost 14 years. s good man, devoted father,
goes and inspiring corporate leader. He has always been a kind moral and decent human being. I stand by him and his statement. I want to point out i did work at cbs for a number of years, in full disclosure. Getting that out of the way, we know that the cbs Board Of Directors is meeting right now. . We den know much because the meeting is still going on. They have been this the meeting well over three hours now. Part of the reason for that is because there is more on the table here than just the fate of Leslie Moonves. They also have all of their usual business to attend to. But of course the elephant in the room, are these accusations from the six women against Leslie Moon Stress and accusations from even more women against the company culture. In that vacuum, what we have are actually not just julie chen but several highranking women at cbs across the cbs company who
are actually coming to moonvess defense saying either that this new yorker article doesnt represent the man they know, they cant square that with the man whom they have worked with for so many years. Or even in some cases calling for some nuance in our thinking about how we think about things that may have happened decades ago. Meanwhile, what the directors are doing now, identifying a select committee to oversee the investigation into the accusations. That committee will then select a law firm to conduct the investigation. What does all of that mean . It means we are probably days if not weeks away from the conclusion of that investigation, and from knowing who moonvess fate will be at cbs. A lot of this, too, is seeing headlines not just for the allegations or what they are trying to figure out but of course les moonves was working pretty hard to prevent a merger with viacom. Whats the impact on that . Absolutely. There is sort of a context here which is that moonves has been
pitted against Sharery Redstone, the chairwoman of viacom an
