A lot to get to in the next hour. Im going to begin, though, with Michael Cohen and changing his legal team. I want to talk about this now with michael avenatti, attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels who is suing cohen. Good evening, sir. What does this mean hes changing his legal team, that he split with his council . Well, down, i dont think this is positive development for Michael Cohen or the president for a variety of reasons. These are attorneys that have had involvement with him for weeks on end. Hes paid them likely millions of dollars. I estimate his burn rate is probably 500,000 week. Whered you get that . Thats a lot of money. Its a tremendous amount of money. But thats what you see in these cases with many documents at issue. They stated they had over 15 lawyers working full time, and based on mexperience with new york and los angeles rates, i mean if you do the math it works out to probably about 500,000 a week. And look, this is what happens in these cases. You have defendants that start out and theyre very defiant and they state theyre going to take bullets for their coconspirators and all of a sudden burn rates set in and im not at all surprised by this. I think this source, whoever it is that stated its about having whoever with experience with the Southern District of new york, i dont think it has anything to do with that whatsoever. Its all about money. You were talking about attorneys. Ive had legal experts come on and i would get the statements from Michael Cohens attorneys and whatever his pr people, and i would read the statement and our defense to our legal experts who are not democrat or republican and they would say to me thats wrong. Hes getting bad legal advice. Do you think hes getting bad legal advice . Do you think people were stringing him along because they wanted the money . 500,000 a week that a ridiculomount. And the fact of the matter is, don, there were two option. Option one wasinthe team review the options and option two was having Michael Cohens private lawyreview the documents. The private lawyers advocated for them to review. Theres an incentive for them. The end result is basically going to be the same with the exception Michael Cohen is going to be 2, 2. 5 million lighter in the pocket. Its a bad situation for Michael Cohen and a bad situation for dold trump. How much did you say in the pocket . I estimate its 2 million Michael Cohen has burned. Heres the thing, of all the people on the face of it planet that donald trump should have brought inside the tent, given love should have been not only because he was so loyal but just from a machiavellian perspective this is guy who knew the president for 10 or 12 years. The problem is you have a president that values loyalty when it comes to him but hes not willing to give any loyalty in exchange. And wave seen that in a whole host of context. But heres the problem, nothing lasts forever. And this is going to come back and bite him and i that for two and a half months. Youve been very adamant you think aces some serious charges. Do you think this is a sign charges are imminent when it comes to Michael Cohen . Theres no question in my mind charges are imminent. I dont think hes going to be arrested tomorrow or even next week. I think some of those reports are overblown. Theres no question in my mind, Michael Cohen is going to be indicted and hes going to attempt to flip on the president. But heres the problem, don, with each passing day for Michael Cohen his options get more and more limited. If in fact bob mueller concludes that a sitting president cannot be indicted Michael Cohen may have played his hand too long. Not to mix metaphors but he may be left with no chair when the music stops. If bob mueller concludes that a sitting president cannot be indicted, and i actually believe he will conclude that based on what i know of bob mueller and conservative leanings and his belief related to various legal scholars, if bob mueller concludes that, Michael Cohen is not going to have anybody roll. Hes going to have zero leverage and out on an island. I think if that happens i think this president is going to hang him out to dry. I dont think the president is going to give him a pardon and i think Michael Cohen is going to be sitting there potentially in a prison cell wondering what he did with his life. Well, maybe hes going to help him pay the legal fees. Why hasnt he already . This is one of the cheapest guys on the face of the planet. I said to hold that thought when it comes to having a legal team that has experience wit dealing with the Southern District of new york. Because been said his team has more experience in deali with the law in washington or political, that sort of thing. You said youre not buying that. Im not buying that because it doesnt matter at the end of the day whether youre litigating cases in d. C. Or new york or los angeles. When youre at the feder and youre at a level of this magnitude, whether you have experience with a particular office or not, in my view does not carry a ton of weight. If you look at the lawyers that are prosecuting this case in the Southern District of new york, lawyers that are very, very capable but many of which, they havent been in that office that long. Were not talking about 20year prosecutors. So im not buying that. I think its a bunch of nonsense. I think at the end of the day this comes down to money. Michael cohen has probably run out of money or he doesnt have the money to front, and now these lawyers already taken 2 or 2. 5 million off him have abandoned him. This is what a lot of these big firms do. They talk a big game, but when it really comes down to it theyre nowhere to be found. You sound like you feel sorry for Michael Cohen, hes being abandoned by his legal team. Like the president saying he did something wrong, like comey so thats why i have to fire him. I know he has a family, a wife, kids, i know hes a good father. I dont wish any i will against him, don. I have to tell you im very concerned about his safety, about his mental state. Im just going to state that here tonight. I dont know where this is going to end. I hope hes able to handle it because this is tremendous amount of pressure. It is tough on him because the number of times ive spoken to him, hes worried. He is concerned about his family, especially his son. Look, i dont think people can comprehend how much pressure this is. And look, in that respect i feel for the guy for the reasons ive just stated. But, look, hes been isolated and abandoned by somebody he was l to, mr. Trump, whos shown no inclination to take care of him or have his back. His attorneys haheir o profit motives ahead of his interest, theres no question about that in my view now. This guy has been placed on an island. And people that are twisting in the wind are dangerous. Two things quickly. Allegedly trumps allies are concerned hes going to flip. Should they be concerned . They should have been concerned two and a half months ago when i predicted it. Also how does this relate to Stormy Daniels . Do you think anything that comes out of the recordings or any of the things that were taken in the raids because i think youre waiting friday is the deadline to determine if the things that were taken in the raid, if they were attorneyclient privilege. Anything that comes out do you think its going to be related to your client . I think a number of pieces are going to be related to my client. Our case has gotten better every week. And hopefully Rudy Giuliani will go on fox and friends in the mornitll gets even getter. When we comeack republicans attack psident obama throughout his two terms ying he and ex i wonder what those same republicans would say about President Trump . Well discuss right after this. I landed. I saw my leg did not look right. I was just finishing a ride. I felt this awful pain in my chest. I had a pe blood clot in my lung. I was scared. I had a dvt blood clot. Having one really puts you in danger of having another. My doctor and i chose xarelto®. Xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt xarelto®stgeneratioblood thinn.

Republicans now admitting the gop is now the party of president donald trump. And that was effect in some of yesterdays republican primary races. Kyung lah says the results were chopped with trump effect. It certainly sent a message that the gop is the party of trump.

Well, inhis particular district hof is expected to win. Republicans are heavily favored there. Don . Kyung, thank you very much. I want to bring in the director for the center of politics at the university of virginia and the author of the kennedy half century. Lets talk about virginia. Thats whe you are and corey ewart who was just on cnn with chris cuomo. Hes antisemitic, past and a supporter of confederate symbols. He fits right in, don. You know, the guy from nevada, all i could think of when i was watching him is theres another values republican. Larry, lets play some of this. I got some sound for you. Yeah, go ahead. Was that a Confederate Flag you were just in front of . You know what, let me telyou yes or no . You want to condemn you cant even answer the question. Larry, the guys from minnesota, what does he know about a Confederate Flag . But go on. Thats always puzzled me about Corey Stewart how a guy from minnesoould have gotten so wrapped up with robert e. Lee. Usually theyre not too devoted. Listen, he had a major role last summer. In chatesville. Corey stewart was here a number of times before that awful unite the right, neonazi supremacist disaster. He was encouraging them. And he still does. Nothings changed, but, don, hes not going to be elected. Hes going to lose to ktim cane right . Yes. He won a nomination because 300,000 people turned out. 300,000 people to vote for this guy is a racist and a bigot. How do these bigots keep Winning Office . Thats what i dont understand. Well, primaries. He got about 45 , 46 of the vote. Why did they do it . Because the activist, the extreme activists are the ones that come to the primaries and vote in the Republican Party in this state and i think around the country the party has moved way to the right following trump, using trump as the symbol of the dear leader, of the supreme leader, the cult leader, whatever you want to call him and Corey Stewart is right out of that mold. Disgusting. It really is gross. Lets go to South Carolina. I want to talk about lee bright. Hes best known for sponsoring that transgender bathroom bill and he calls transgender people mentally ill. Hes in the running to replace trey gowdy in South Carolina. Is he another example of the old party versus trump in the gop . He was the leader in the first primary. He didnt come anywhere close to 50 . Hes got a runoff in two weeks and hes got a strong opponent so we dont know for sure hes going to be nominated. But, yes, i would say some of his views are ignorant, just to be blunt about it. I have short time left here so lets go quickly to dennis hof one of nevadas wellknown brothel owners or pimp if you want to use that word. Hes now the gop in nevada. How significant is this win . Hes the front runner. Hes considered to be likely to win the seat. Its nevada, don. They have brothels out there. And look there are 63 legislators in nevada. Something tells me that this guy, the only thing hes ever going to do in the legislator, hes going to be assigned the organization of the evening entertainment. Thats probably it. Larry, appreciate your expertise all the time. When we come back were going to ask a man who worked with cory stewart on the Trump Campaign in virginia, what he thinks. About stewarts primary win.

Well, some republicans especially those heading for the exits now say the gop is the party of t, meaning trump. I want to bring in joan walsh, amanda carpenter, and John Hendricks who was cochair of the Trump Campaign in virginia. Good evening to john, lets start with you and i want to talk about Corey Stewart. You were both cochairs of the Trump Campaign in virginia. He was fired and you became chair. Is he a bigot . Well, i wouldnt say hes a bigot, but i would say Corey Stewart has spent a lot of time talking about Confederate Flags and hanging around the wrong people and
