The left-wing media will not come out and say this: Liz Peek

THE EAST COAST. TIME FOR THE HOT TOPIC OF THE HOUR. A NEW ABC NEWS SURVEY SHOWING TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL BE CONSISTENT OFA CRIME, 80% SAY YOU THEY WOULD CAST THEIR BALLOT FOR HIM IF HE GETS CONVICTED BEFORE THE ELECTION. VOTERS SAY THEY TRUST TRUMP TO HANDLE TOP ELECTION ISSUES WHICH INCLUDE THE ECONOMY, INFLATION, CRIME AND SAFETY. TRUMP HAS A 14 POINT LEAD ON VOR TRUST OVER BIDEN, 46% OF OF 32%. GRAND NEW THIS MORNING, GALLUP SAYS VOTER CONFIDENCE IN BIDEN TO DO THE RIGHT THING ON THE ECONOMY IS THE LOWEST MEASURE FOR ANY PRESIDENT SINCE 2001. ALL RIGHT, LIZ, AS OF YESTERDAY, THAT WAS THE SIX MONTH MARK AWAY FROM THE ELECTION. WE HAVE SIX MONTHS TO GO. THESE POLLS SHOW THAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE TOP ISSUES, IT IS PRESIDENT TRUMP OVER JOE BIDEN. >> THAT'S BEEN THE CASE OVER THE LAST YEAR AT LEAST. FOR GOOD REASON. PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT UNDER DONALD TRUMP INFLATIONS WAS CONTAINED. IT WAS BELOW 2%. THE ECONOMY WAS GROWING FAST, UNEMPLOYMENT WAS VERY LOW. NOW WE HAVE AN ECONOMY THAT'S BASICALLY PROPPED UP BY TWO THINGS, EXCESSIVE FEDERAL SPENDING AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MEANS THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE TO TAKE THE JOBS THAT ARE AVAILABLE KEEPING WAGES DOWN WHICH BY THE WAY SOME WORKERS ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO NOTICE IN THEIR PAYCHECK AND EXCESSIVE FEDERAL SPENDING THAT'S KEEPING DEMAND UP SO REALLY OUR ECONOMY I THINK IS KIND OF FRAGILE RIGHT NOW. THE JOBS REPORT THAT WAS OUT LAST WEEK SHOWED A SLOWING IN JOB CREATION AND INVESTORS HAVE A PAVLOVIAN RESPONSE THINKING WE COULD SEE RATE CUTS BUT IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A DOWNTURN WHICH NOBODY IS EXPECTING. GOING BACK TO GORDON CHANG'S COMMENTS, CHINA IS GOING TO DO EVERYTHING TO ENSURE JOE BIDEN IS REELECTED. THE GOP HAS TO BE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT BALLOT HARVESTING AND ALL THE ISSUES THAT HURT US IN 2020. I HOPE THEY'RE READY FOR THIS. CHERYL: INTERESTING. I WANT TO PICK BE UP ON YOU COUPLE OF THOSE POINTS THAT SHE SAYS HERE BECAUSE LOOK, IF YOU LOOK AT THE IMPORTANCE AND TRUST ISSUE, ON THE ECONOMY BY THE WAY IMPORTANCE IN THE VOTE, 88% IS THE ECONOMY. AND THAT -- TRUMP HAS A 14 POINT LEAD IN THAT SECTION. INFLATION, 85%. AND TRUMP HAS A 14 POINT LEAD AS WELL RIGHT THERE. IT'S ABOUT THE ECONOMY, STUPID. HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO SAY IT. >> ABSOLUTELY. I DON'T THINK ONE INTEREST RATE CUT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I THINK PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH THEY FIND CERTAIN ASPECTS OF TRUMP'S PERSONALITY LESS THAN DESIRABLE, I THINK THE DAs HAVE DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE BY BRINGING CHARGES AGAINST HIM, THEY'VE MADE DONALD TRUMP SEEM SYMPATHETIC. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO PULL CENTRIST VOTERS. HE FEEDS OFF THE ANGER OF THE CROWD AND BECOMES MORE POWERFUL. I THINK IT'S THE TRUTH. I THINK PEOPLE WANT THE ECONOMY TO BE GOOD, WANT TO BE BETTER WITH CHINA, WANT TO FEEL WE'RE IN A MORE SECURE AND SAFE COUNTRY AND I THINK THAT'S WHY THEY'RE TURNING TOWARDS HIM. CHERYL: LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS TRIAL. BECAUSE THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL RESUMES THIS MORNING, PROSECUTORS ARE PREPARING TO PUT THIS WEEK AT SOME POINT MICHAEL COHEN ON THE STAND AND JURORS DID HEAR ON FRIDAY FROM FORMER TRUMP AIDE HOPE HIX, SHE DETAILED WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE AND AFTER THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE WAS LEAKED AND SHE DESCRIBED TRUMP'S INTERACTIONS WITH HIS WIFE AND SAYING HE VALUESES MRS. TRUMP'S OPINIONS, HE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO BE HURT OR EMBARRASSED BY WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CAMPAIGN. JOHN RATCLIFFE WAS ON WITH MARIA YESTERDAY. HERE'S HOW SEES ALL OF THIS. WATCH. MARIA: GIVE US YOUR LEGAL AS EXACT, LEGAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE MANHATTAN DA'S TRIAL WITH DONALD TRUMP. >> IT'S BEEN A TRAIN WRECK FOR THE PROSECUTION. EVERY WITNESS THEY CALLED SO FAR IS A WITNESS INTENDING TO HARM DONALD TRUMP AND IN FACT IN EVERY INSTANCE THEY HAVE AT LEAST IN PART HELPED DONALD TRUMP WITH HIS CASE. AND EVERY WITNESS THAT THE STATE HAS CALLED SO FAR HAS ALSO SAID THAT THE STATE'S MOST IMPORTANT WITNESS, MICHAEL COHEN, CAN'T BE BELIEVED, THAT HE'S ESSENTIALLY A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. SO IF THIS WERE A FAIR JUDGE AND A FAIR JURY, THE CASE ALREADY WOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED OR THE CASE WOULD BE DECIDED IN THE JURORS' MINDS. CHERYL: LIZ, SEEMS LIKE IT'S A BIPARTISAN PICTURE OF MICHAEL COHEN. >> EVERYBODY HATES MICHAEL COHEN. AMERICANS ARE HEARING TWO INCREDIBLY DISTINCT VERSIONS OF WHAT'S GOING ON AT THIS TRIAL. OVER THE WEEKEND, THE LEFT WING MEDIA WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW HOPE HICKS REALLY DOUBLED DOWN ON TRUMP HAVING FUNNELED MONEY TO HUSH UP THE STORMY DANIELS AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE I THINK MORE REASONABLY SAYING SHE COMPLETELY TORPEDOED THE CASE BY SAYING THAT TRUMP REALLY CARES ABOUT MELANIA TRUMP AND WANTED TO PROTECT HER FROM BAD STORIES GETTING OUT. WHAT'S INCREDIBLE TO THE ME IS THE LEFT WING MEDIA WILL NOT COME OUT AND SAY THERE IS NO CRIME HERE. AND HONESTLY, I'VE TRIED TO LISTEN TO THIS AT A FAIR MINDED WAY. THERE IS NO CRIME. WHAT TRUMP DID IS NOT ILLEGAL. SO IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT EVEN SO-CALLED LEGAL EXPERTS TALKING ON BLOOMBERG OVER THE WEEKEND THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECTLY OKAY THAT THEY'RE HUMILIATING THIS MAN AND THAT IS THEIR MAIN OBJECTIVE. CHERYL: TO THAT POINT, CHRIS, IS IT ELECTION INTERFERENCE OR IS IT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE YOUR WIFE DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU DID WHICH WAS CHEATING SO THAT'S THE ARGUMENT HERE. THAT'S LISS -- LIZ'S POINT. >> I THINK PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO LOOK PAST THAT. I THINK PEOPLE LIKE, ADD A ADMID FEEL DEEPLY ABOUT AMERICAN EX SEEPING NAILISM. THAT'S WHAT -- EXCEPTIONALISM. THAT'S WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GIVING THEM. PROTECTING HIS WIFE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS DRAWING PEOPLE IN. I THINK WE'LL SEE SOME
