This is almost apocalyptic. We have determined the fact he cant Michael Cohen, himself, is not a reliable narrator in this
still growing. Thousands of homes and businesses are threatened. Officials say residents shouldnt wait for an evacuation order. If they dont feel safe, leave. If you feel like you need to leave and nobody has told you, leave. Is there a reason the hair on the back of your neck stands up sometimes. Cnns Paul Verkammen is joining us. Its a sad day. You pointed out the Young Children passed away along with their great grandmother in the fire. You might wonder, well, how in the world could they not get out . If you look at this devastation tht not their house but another completely ravaged neighborhoods in west redding. The fire will tear through and take everything to the ground. The progress has slowed a little
bit. The last update we had on numbers of acreage burned, almost 84,000. 536 homes destroyed, just like this one. Of course, the numbers go up because the swath of destruction is so wide that firefighters go into these neighborhoods and start counting them. As for those firefighters, lots of fatigue there. Horrible conditions. 108, 110degree temperatures. Their boss is urging them to stay hydrated, get food, get sleep. Some of them working 24hour shifts on, then 24 off. But its not just the firefighters that are suffering from a form of fatigue. They are having massive Equipment Failures throughout this firefighting effort. Lets listen to what a sacramento Battalion Chief and Safety Officer had to say about this firefight. We are used to hot but, you know, 116, 17 degrees on the
pick up debris. Instead of pieces of wood and cars, what its taking with it are the embers and putting them back out and spreading that fire possibly to places where it never existed before. That is a very big concern. But one of the other concerns we have is also the topography that we have here in california. Youve got valleys, mountains, youve got a lot of slopes to deal with. That is a big concern. Sheer why. A 20degree slope after hill, fire travels about 20 Miles Per Hour uphill. But if you change that slope by only 10 degrees, youve now upped that speed double. Its now 40 Miles Per Hour. This effectively means the top grove there makes it harder for the firefighters to fight these fires than it would be if these fires were in a flat place, say, like florida or oklahoma. Its the topography that is at play here and that is another big concern. Also, keep in mind, with all of that smoke that goes out from
A morning newscast featuring breaking news and weather reports. We heard Rudy Giuliani had already accused trumps former Attorney Michael Cohen of being a liar after cohen signaled his willingness to tell investigators that trump knew in advance of that infamous 2016 meeting at trump tower involving his son in a promising dirt on hillary clinton. Last night, Rudy GiulianiAccused Cohen tampering of a recording he made of a 2016 conversation with then candidate trump. We should note no evidence to suggest the tape was altered but here is what giuliani had to say about it. I hope it exists. This could be a recording of a recording. We are not sure yet. That, they can probably determine. And then youre right, we may never be able to determine that, but we have determined the fact that he tampered with the tape in the sense that he abruptly, mid conversation, turned it off. Reporter now the cohen camp is responding by mocking giuliani. A source close to Michael Cohen said this to jake tapper. You think he is wild speculation as if he were unhinged . Obviously, its a lie. Shocking. He is touting academic growth and campaigns to extensively for republicans this fall. As the president heads back to the white house tonight he has to confront questions about cohen when he meads sidebyside with the italian Prime Minister tomorrow night at the white house and maybe see him address the controversy before then but so far trump has been uncharacteristically quiet On Social Media as well this week. He has been extremely quiet. Thank you, sarah westwood. Joey jackson is with us and Julian Zeleny now. Disgusted frankly by mr. Giulianis representing. Lawyers are advocates and hit hard but rules of engagement. Like boxing. A Sweet Science and not mma you do what you want and you say and do whatever you want. Back up a minute. Giuliani is the person who says that the president knew there was reimbursement for Stormy Daniels and then he says well, he didnt know. He is also the guy a week ago was it who was saying cohen has always been an honorable man and truthful and now on the attack that cohen has no credibility at all. As lawyers what we have is our credibility and giuliani at this point has zero. That is troubling to me. To the tape and to your question, the fact is that sh, you know, look. The lawyers want to question the authenticity of a tape but to suggest we have proof, its altered, and tampered with. The fact this is a distinction to be clear, between tampering with, which suggests and implies an alteration of something, and
abruptly shutting it off, which might suggest that its being viewed not in the context in which it should. And so if you want to make that representation and argument, fair game, please do so. But dont throw out these wild conspiracy theories. The last thing ill say we are living in altered reality. Ive never seen it this bad. Alternative facts and people can throw out theorys what they want and the president telling lies every day. Lets level with the american people. Law is about getting in the arena and people have different perspective and different Point Of View and make your argument and advocate for your client and lets not confuse and deflect and disregard and make up things and mislead the american people. Its just wrong. This is what is interesting. Rudy giuliani is ian as doing that right now but cohen is seen doing that in the past. Cohen at one point said i would take a bullet for President Trump, julian. When you look at these two
people, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen, who is more credible . Neither is particularly credible. President trump surrounds himself with many figures who say many things, who are not truthful in front of the public, or even behind the scenes. And so you have this chaotic moment where people without credibility are making all kinds of accusations. That said, cohen has tapes and tapes are very different in that you can actually hear the principle special and i think that has the trump team so scared. Its not a surprise they are going to go after his credibility. This is what President Trump and his allies do to everyone who is antagonistic to them. I want to ask you, joey, about some news out this morning also from Rudy Giuliani who confirmed that the joint Defense Agreement that President Trumps legal team had with cohens legal team apparently has been dissolved. What do you make that have . I make of that that its a very public and very bitter and very nasty divorce and the fact is that, you know, the reality is that cohen is doing what he said he would do. Is that its about my family and country first. And i think perhaps there were over tours pardon me, what do you want to do . He was left hanging in the wind and now fending for himself. Just one thing. It begs the question if cohen is such a dishonorable person and such a liar and he has no credibility, why the president keep him around as his fixer for 15 years . Generally, people around this, who we dispute their credibility, we dont think they are good people, we dont think their veracity and truthfulness is something we dont want to associate with, we break ties. You Dont Break Ties and with him a decade and a half and now he is the worst person of mankind. It doesnt make sense from a common sense perspective. Cohen is looking out for cohen right now and trump is looking out for trump. I think in the mix of it we should keep accusations and all kinds of accusations but make them upon credible elevation not wild speculation. Julian w that said, is there speculation or is it possible when he served with President Trump, then, you know, citizen trump for 15 years, did he see him as loyal or did he just see him as maybe knowing more than anybody else knows about him behind the scenes . Well, i think they both could be true. You know, President Trump, at the time, or citizen trump saw him as useful. They knew who he was, they knew what kind of law or fixing he practiced but he was in their inner circle. As a result, he was very close to whatever they were doing. He knows a lot about everything from the business to the politics but now he is no longer useful so they are going after
him. The problem is he was there. He does have a lot of information, a lot of knowledge and this is what is causing jitters in President Trump. How admissible are the tapes we keep hearing about . They could be very admissible. Something is admissible in court if its relevant if it tends to prove or disprove any fact but then you have to authenticate it and stab if its an actual authentic recording of the party. When we hear all of the tape maybe it was abruptly cut off to be fair but say that. Look, its played out of context, not its tampered with which sends a far different message. Tapes are admissible in court every day in the week and twice on sunday. How they are viewed and evaluated is another matter. And if you want to state what is on the tape and, you know, spin whats on the tape, thats one thing, but to just throw out things its altered, we have evidence, its just problematic. Julian, any possibility that
what giuliani is doing is employing a tactic of distraction here. Distraction and discredibility and what they do time and time again and i think what is he doing with cohen. Its not facts but its politically attacking your opponent. We appreciate you both for joining us. Thank you. Thank you.

He is also hosting italys Prime Minister tomorrow. But lets not forget that trumps former Campaign Chairman paul manafort, his trial begins this week. So, of course, that means we have got a lot to discuss here. Lets bring in once against Julian Zeleny, cnn political analyst, and kelly jane torrance, Deputy Manager Editor for the weekly standard. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Kelly jane, the president is meeting with italys Prime Minister and there usually a q a session at some point. Normally he will also about
cohen. How do you think he is handle that . When he has seasoned leader by himself, he sometimes has difficulty handling it. The Prime Minister is a bit of an outsider like trump, himself. And so its very hard to say how he is going to handle it. You know, he is probably going to be a little angry but i still wonder if he is holding back a bit, you know . As i was saying yesterday on the station, you know, he has not given Michael Cohen one of those crazy nicknames. We knew the break with steve bannon was complete when he called steve bannon sloppy steve on twitter. He has not done that yet with Michael Cohen. I wonder is he still hoping for something im not sure. Its interesting. If you dont get a nickname, there is a still of threat of hope for you . Exactly, exactly. Julian, i know the president was very quiet this weekend. Its possible he was still hoping the new cycle would positive on the academic figures that came out on friday. You wrote an interesting article
which is to say historically, that doesnt necessarily bode well for a president even with the midterms around the corner. Thats right. Midterm lexs good Economic News does not bring good political news and many mid terms the economy was doing well like 1966 but the party of the president does poorly. The news about this ongoing scandal often overwhelms the good news that the administration can be boasting. So there is no reason to think what we heard about on friday will translate into good results for the gop in november. We know, kelly jane, he is going out on the Campaign Trail this week, going to florida and pennsylvania. My question is they seem to be wanting to get him out of town and get him out to where he is very comfortable, which is in front of his supporters. Do you think that is part of the strategy here . You know, thats a great question, martin. We saw even you know, even
shortly after he had been elected, people started talking about some things were that not comfortable for trump and he started having campaign rallies. You know, i understand that in america, people are always campaigning and, you know, the day after the election, youre already thinking about the next one but this was a little unprecedented where he was selling tickets to events right after he was elected because he feels very comfortable. I mean, as we know, he as we think we know from fire and fury, he was a little surprised he was elected president and i think he does feel most happy on the Campaign Trail, surrounded by people who love him. And washington, d. C. Facing tough reporters with tough questions like those from cnn. Not as comfortable for him. So, yeah, i think part of is to get out of town and, of course, you have people covering those rallies and when you hear hes speaking and people are cheering him on, he wants that kind of coverage and its not what he is going to get when he is in
washington. Exactly right. Julian zeleny and kelly jane torrance, good to see you both and thank you. Thank you. Have a great day. Listen.
