00:00SUCH AN IMPORTANT DAY. BUSINESS CHANGE THE NEEDLE -- DOES THIS CHANGE THE NEEDLE? LESLIE : SOME OF WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE SUSPECTED WAS CONFIRMED THROUGH THOSE HEARINGS, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS SURROUNDING WHAT ELSE IS BEING SAID BY MICHAEL COHEN? THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARINGS HE WAS SPEAKING TO THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE. TODAY HE IS GOING TO SPEAK TO THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE PRIVATELY. ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT THAT CAME OUT IS THAT HE NOTED THAT HE IS COOPERATING WITH THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. WHAT WE DID SEE WAS THE CHARACTERIZATION OF A PRESIDENCY, OF A PRESIDENT WHO IS IMMORAL, RACIST, A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WILL DISTURB MANY PEOPLE, BUT PROBABLY NOT ALTER THE PUBLIC OPINION SURROUNDING THIS.

LESLIE: THE PRESIDENT IS DEEPLY WORRIED ABOUT THAT. IF YOU TALK ABOUT LOYALTY BEING KEY TO THIS PRESIDENT, THOSE HE IS MOST WORRIED ABOUT OUR HIS PRESIDENT. I THINK THERE WERE A NUMBER OF DISTURBING THINGS YESTERDAY. WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THE ATTEMPT TO SMEAR MICHAEL COHEN. CARROLL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO READ IT THROUGH PARTISAN LENS. IT IS GOING TO BE VERY DAMAGING FOR THE PRESIDENT, BUT WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY TAKE FROM THAT? I THINK THE REAL GAME CHANGER WILL BE WHAT COMES OUT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WHAT COMES OUT OF THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION. FOR YESTERDAY'S HEARINGS, REALLY HOW DOES THAT AFFECT CONGRESSIONAL POLITICS. THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE SHOULD
