>>> YOU SPENT A GOOD PORTION OF YOUR TIME IN OHIO THE OTHER DAY
TRASHING SENATOR JOHN McCAIN.
HE’S DEAD, WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS?
THIS? >> IT’S A VERY SMALL PORTION OF
NIGHTMARE. -- OF MY TIME.
THREE DAYS AGO IT CAME OUT THAT
HIS MAIN PERSON GAVE TO THE FBI
THE FAKE NEWS DOSSIER.
IT WAS A FAKE, A FRAUD PAID BY
HILLARY CLINTON AND THE
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. THEY GAVE IT TO JOHN McCAIN WHO
GAVE IT TO THE FBI FOR EVIL
PURPOSES.
PURPOSES. THAT’S NOT GOOD.
THE OTHER THING, HE VOTED
AGAINST REPEAL AND REPLACE.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, YOU SAID YOU
CAN PUNCH BACK BUT HE’S DEAD.
>> I DON’T TALK ABOUT IT.
PEOPLE ASK THE QUESTION -- I
DIDN’T BRING IT UP, YOU BROUGHT
IT UP.
IT UP. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT IT THIS
WEEK.
WEEK. >> YOU ASKED ME THE QUESTION.
WHEN I WENT YESTERDAY TO THE
SCRUM THEY ASKED ME THE
QUESTION.
QUESTION. WHEN THEY ASKED ME THE QUESTION,
I ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
YOU PEOPLE BRING IT UP.
I DON’T BRING IT UP.
>> THAT MAKES ME THINK THE
DOSSIER’S TRUE.
DOSSIER’S TRUE. >> IT MAKES ME THINK THAT HE IS
LOSING HIS MIND.
IF HE WEREN’T LOSING HIS MIND --
STAY WITH ME IN YOU’RE A TRUMP
SUPPORTER --
SUPPORTER -- >> THAT WILL BE HARD --
SGL>> DID THE PRESIDENT FORGET T
HE TWEETED ABOUT IT ON HIS OWN
PA
PA THIS PAST WEEKEND?
DID THE PRESIDENT FORGET THAT HE
WAS TALKING TO A PRO-MILITARY
DEFENSE IN OHIO?
MY DEAR FANS WHO ARE TRUMP
SUPPORTERS, EITHER THE
PRESIDENT’S LOSING HIS MIND AND
CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID
EARLIER THIS WEEK, OR HE’S A
LIAR.
LIAR. I WOULD NOT JUMP TO EITHER
CONCLUSION MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
I’M JUST YOUR FAITHFUL AND
HUMBLE SERVANT ON THE SHOW.
THERE IS NO CHOICE.
HE IS EITHER A LIAR OR HE’S
LOSING HIS MIND.
YOU PICK THE BOX.
>> NO, I THINK --
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST GAVE
YOU THE FACTS.
YOU DECIDE.
YOU DECIDE. >> I THINK THERE’S A WHOLE
STRESS-INDUCED DISTRACTION
STRESS-INDUCED DISTRACTION THINGS GOING HERE.
IT BRINGS UP A REAL QUESTION,
AND WE’RE GOING TO SHARE THE
SOUND BYTE OF HIM BRINGING IT UP
AT A SPEECHMENT I WAS APPROACHED
YESTERDAY BY A SMART, ATTRACTIVE
WOMAN WHO WORKS AND WAS
TRAVELING FOR WORK.
SHE WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY
COMMITTED TO LOVING TRUMP.
AND SHE CANDIDATE KIND OF
ATTACKING ME IN -- AND SHE KEPT
KIND OF ATTACKING ME IN A
REUNIFIED AND THREATENING WAY.
THE FOR EVENTS IS SOMETHING WE
HAVE TO LOOK AT.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND SOMEONE WHO
COULD LOVE SOMEONE WHO COULD DO
THIS TO JOHN McCAIN.
>> FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THAT
WITHOUT MENTIONING WHO -- WHERE
WE SAW THIS PERSON, I THINK THAT
PERSON WAS INSPIRED A BIT --
>> A LARGE GROUP --
>> BY WHAT THAT PERSON HAD BEEN
IMBIBING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
HOURS.
HOURS. THAT’S ALL I’M GOING TO SAY.
>> STILL --
>> IT HAPPENS.
THE PRESIDENT BLAMES THE MEDIA,
BUT IT’S PLAIN TO SEE AGAIN THAT
EITHER HE FORGOT ABOUT OR HE IS
LYING ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE HAS
BEEN ATTACKING A DEAD MAN
WITHOUT ANY PROMPTING THIS PAST
WEEK.
WEEK. STARTING WITH A TWEET ON
SATURDAY ABOUT THE STAINS ON THE
LATE SENATOR’S RECORD.
AND NO ONE BROUGHT IT UP TO HIM
WHEN HE SEGUED TO CRITICIZE JOHN
McCAIN FOR FIVE, COUNT ’EM FIVE
-- AND IF I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT I
ATTACKED JOHN McCAIN FOR FIVE
MINUTES TWO DAYS AGO, I’M GOING
TO A DOCTOR.
DOC, HEY, I JUST SAID YESTERDAY
THAT I NEVER BROUGHT IT UP
MYSELF, THAT I ONLY RESPONDED --
I MEAN, EITHER THAT OR I JUST
HAVE TO QUIETLY ADMIT IF I’M
DONALD TRUMP THAT I’M LYING TO
MYSELF AND 300 MILLION PEOPLE.
HERE’S DONALD TRUMP --
>> FOR THOSE WITH EYES --
>> TALKING FOR FIVE MINUTES AT
AN ECONOMIC SPEECH IN A TANK
FACTORY WEDNESDAY IN OHIO.
>> I ENDORSED HIM AT HIS
REQUEST.
REQUEST. AND I GAVE HIM THE KIND OF
FUNERAL THAT HE WANTED WHICH AS
PRESIDENT I HAD TO APPROVE.
I DON’T CARE ABOUT THIS, I
DIDN’T GET THANK YOU, THAT’S
OKAY.
OKAY. WE SENT HIM ON THE WAY.
BUT I WASN’T A FAN OF JOHN
McCAIN’S.
McCAIN’S. >> IT GETS SO TIRESOME.
YES, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IS ALSO LYING OR IS
IGNORANT, MY FELLOW TRUMP
SUPPORTERS, AMERICANS WHO ARE
TRUMP SUPPORTERS, NOT FELLOW.
THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL -- SAYING
DONALD TRUMP’S LYING.
HEAP DIDN’T APPROVE McCAIN’S
FUNERAL SERVICES.
FUNERAL SERVICES. IN A STATEMENT TO NBC NEWS, THE
CATHEDRAL SAYS, "ALL FUNERALS
AND MEMORIAL SERVICES AT THE
CATHEDRAL ARE ORGANIZED BY THE
FAMILY OF THE DECEASED."
ONLY A STATE FUNERAL FOR A
FORMER PRESIDENT INVOLVES
CONSULTATION WITH GOVERNING
OFFICIALS -- NO FUNERAL, DONALD.
HEY, DONALD?
HEY, DONALD? HEY, DONALD, THAT’S RIGHT, I’M
TALKING TO YOU, DONALD, I’M
TALKING TO YOU --
>> HE DOESN’T WATCH.
>> EVERY DAY.
IT’S LIKE -- IT’S LIKE WHAT THE
LITTLE BOY SAYS TO HIS MOTHER AT
THE END OF THE "SIXTH SENSE,"
EVERY DAY.
EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY.
EVERY DAY. MIKA WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND THE
REFERENCE BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T SEE
THE "SIXTH SENSE."
>> MIKA --
>> I SAW THE "GODFATHERS."
>> THIS WEEKEND.
>> YES, THIS WEEKEND.
>> WHAT A MOVIE.
IT GOES ON.
>> NOT WATCHING IT.
>> NO FUNERAL AT THE CATHEDRAL,
NONE REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF
THE PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT. YOU GETTING IT, DONALD, OR ANY
OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
THAT SAID, JOHN MEACHAM, EVEN
THOUGH DONALD TRUMP HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT BEING AT THE
NATIONAL CATHEDRAL, CINDY McCAIN
STILL SENT OUT RICK DAVIS TO
THANK MELLOW LARK LEMON --
MEADOW LARK LEMON, SANTA CLAUS,
BOB HOPE -- NO.
TO THANK -- THERE ARE SO MANY
PEOPLE GOING, HUH?
>> UNDER 50.
>> KURT FLOOD, NO!
IRVING R. LEVINE?
NO!
NO! >> IRVING R. LEVINE, NBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. >> TO THANK DONALD TRUMP.
THE FAMILY ASKED FOR TRUMP TO BE
THANKED BY RICK DAVIS.
LITERALLY EVERYTHING HE HAS SAID
ABOUT THE FUNERAL IS A LIE.
THAT’S ALL I GOT.
>> YOU CAN GO NOW.
>> BY THE WAY, I’M ON TO YOU.
I’M ON TO YOU.
LET’S DO A SPLIT WITH WILLIE.
CAN YOU PUT WILLIE UP?
YOU KNOW HOW IN "TOP GUN"
MAVERICK ARE TALKING, THEY HAVE
THIS, HEY, DON’T FLY BY THE
TOWER, DON’T BUZZ THE TOURER.
THEY’RE COOL.
THEY’RE COOL. -- THE TOWER.
THEY’RE COOL.
THEY’RE COOL. NEGATIVE GHOST RIDER.
THEY BUZZ THE TOWER.
MACHO THING TO DO.
YOU AND MEACHAM, MEACHAM COMES
UP IN THE FLIGHT SUIT, RIGHT,
BEFORE THE SHOW, AND WHAT DOES
HE SAY TO YOU, MAVERICK, WHAT’S
HE GOING TO DO IN THE FIRST
BLOCK TO PROVE HOE COOL HE IS?
>> I HEARD ABOUT THIS.
HE’S THE LOOK BEHIND THE
CURTAIN.
CURTAIN. >> TRUE.
>> TRUE. >> JOHN MEACHAM MADE A REFERENCE
TO FORTEN BRASS FROM HAMLET, AND
EVERYONE IN THE MAKE-UP ROOM
INCLUDING MYSELF GLAZED OVER
BECAUSE WE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THE
CONTEXT OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
AS WE WALKED OUT HE SAID "I’M
GOING TO GET THE REFERENCE" IN
THE SHOW.
THE SHOW. AT 6:05, JOHN MEACHAM DROPPED IT
ON THE TABLE AND MADE IT IN THE
CONTEXT OF THE CARTER SPEECH --
>> THAT’S WHAT UPSETS IT THE
MOST.
MOST. IT SHED LIGHT FOR THE LIFE OF
THE NATION, YEAH.
>> NO.
>> NO. NO, WHAT UPSETS WILLIE THE MOST
IS WHAT A DARK DORK HE HAS TO
SIT NEXT TO --
>> I’M LOOKING AT THROUGH DORKS.
>> HEY.
>> HEY. >> THERE ARE THREE PRETTY DORKS
ALL IN A ROW.
>> YOU SEE THE DRAMA OF WILLIE’S
LIFE IS NOT HAVING GOTTEN INTO
SWANEE BACK INTO THE ’90s AND
GOING TO VANDERBILT.
>> HERE WE GO.
HERE WE GO.
>> HE’S BEEN TRYING TO
OVERCOMPENSATE.
OVERCOMPENSATE. >> ALL RIGHT, GUYS --
>> SPEAKING OF JOHN McCAIN --
>> THE CONVERSATION --
>> JOHN McCAIN --
>> SPEAKING OF OVERCOMPENSATION,
LET’S TALK ABOUT JOHN McCAIN.
EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT HAS
SAID ABOUT JOHN McCAIN, HIS
ATTACKS ON JOHN McCAIN AND THE
FUNERAL ITSELF ALL LIES.
ALL ON VIDEOTAPE, ALL ON
STATEMENTS, ALL LIES.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. HERE’S WHAT -- I AGREE, OF
COURSE.
COURSE. WHAT I THINK THIS FITS INTO AND
IT’S A FUN CATEGORY TO PLAY
WITH, IS THE LESSER HOLT
CATEGORY WHERE TRUMP ACTUALLY
COPS TO EVERYTHING.
RIGHT?
RIGHT? HE COPPED TO OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE.
JUSTICE. >> THAT’S RIGHT --
>> TO LESTER HOLT, RIGHT?
HE SAID TO, WAS IT MARIA, "I’M
DOING THIS BECAUSE HE GAVE THE
DOSSIER TO THE FBI."
WE DON’T HAVE TO WONDER ANYMORE
ABOUT WHAT THIS IS, WE CAN TALK
ABOUT THE BONE SPURS IN VIETNAM.
THAT’S PART OF THE ETHOS.
BUT I PROMISE IF YOU SOMEBODY
ELSE HAD DONE THIS AND HAD DIED
AND, YOU KNOW, HAD BEEN LIONIZED
AND -- REMEMBER, THE McCAIN
FUNERAL WITH ALL HONOR TO
SENATOR McCAIN, THE McCAIN
FUNERAL WAS ONE OF THE GREAT
ACTS OF CEREMONIAL TROLLING.
>> IT REALLY WAS.
>> IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
IT WAS ECCLESIASTICAL TROLLING.
>> IT WAS WONDERFUL.
>> NOT A HUGE CATEGORY.
AND DIDN’T SAY I WAS GOING TO
SAY THAT, WILLIE.
I THINK -- I THINK WE JUST NOW
KNOW.
KNOW. IF HE FOLLOWS THE HEADLINE, DID
HE WATCH THE FUNERAL, DID HE
WATCH ANY OF IT, DOES HE KNOW --
YES.
YES. >> THEN HE SAW MEGHAN McCAIN,
POWERFUL EULOGY.
POWERFUL EULOGY. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THAT WAS A
MOMENT WHERE THE WHOLE -- THE
WHOLE WORLD THAT HE BOTH
RESENTS, HATES, AND LONGS FOR
THEIR APPROVAL WHICH IS THE
PERMANENT CULTURE OF THE ACELA
CORRIDOR, RIGHT, WAS EITHER AT
THE CATHEDRAL OR NODDING ALONG
AT THE CATHEDRAL.
AND HE’S SITTING THERE THINKING
AND THIS S.O.B. KICKED THIS
THING TO THE FBI.
SO WE NOW DON’T HAVE TO WONDER.
AGAIN, THIS IS LIKE HAVING, YOU
KNOW, X-RAY GLASSES INTO RICHARD
NIXON.
NIXON. IF NIXON PUT THE TAPES OUT IN
REALTIME, I DON’T THINK WE HAVE
TO THINK THAT HARD ABOUT IT.
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT
IT.
IT. I THINK HE BASICALLY MAKES THE
PROBLEM ITSELF FAIRLY
STRAIGHTFORWARD.
STRAIGHTFORWARD. >> MAKES IT VERY SIMPLE.
WILLIE, THE THING IS IN THIS
CASE IT’S LIKE WHEN SOMEBODY
THAT HE REALLY HATES PUTS OUT A
BOOK.
BOOK. OR WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT OUR SHOW.
THE NEXT DAY EVERYBODY GOES,
WOW, I WANT TO WATCH THAT SHOW.
AND THE NUMBERS EXPLODE.
HE SAYS WE’RE HAVING THE WORST
YEAR EVER, WE’RE HAVING THE BEST
YEAR EVER.
YEAR EVER. WE HAD THE BEST YEAR EVER FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.
WE WANT TO THANK DONALD TRUMP
FOR ATTACKING US BECAUSE AFTER
HE ATTACKS US, MORE PEOPLE
WATCH.
WATCH. >> AND THEN I GET MORE PEOPLE TO
FOLLOW DEVIN NUNEZ’S COW.
>> WAY OVER 5,000.
ALSO HE ATTACKS PEOPLE WHO PUT
OUT BOOKS, BOOK SALES.
IN THIS CASE HE’S ATTACKING A
WAR HERO AND A PUBLIC SERVANT.
AND HAS MEGHAN McCAIN SAID AND
AS ANYBODY WOULD TELL HIM THAT
THE STAFF IS TRYING TO TELL HIM,
YOU’RE NOT HURTING JOHN McCAIN
HERE, DONNIE.
HERE, DONNIE. YOU’RE HURTING YOURSELF.
IT’S -- MIND-BOGGLING THAT HE
DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> WOW.
>> WOW. >> GRAND SWEEP OF HISTORY AND
EVEN IN POLLING, HE’S HURTING
HIMSELF.
HIMSELF. >> IN THE CASE OF McCAIN, EVEN
HIS OWN SUPPORTERS ARE TELLING
HIM THAT LINDSEY GRAHAM SAID
THAT FINALLY, SAID I DON’T THINK
THIS HELPS THE PRESIDENT
WHATSOEVER.
WHATSOEVER. WE SHOULD ADD TO THE HONOR ROLL
OF REPUBLICANS DAN CRENSHAW,
CONGRESSMAN CRENSHAW OF TEXAS,
WHO CAME OUT CLEARLY AND SAID
"KNOCK IT OFF, MR. PRESIDENT,
STOP GOING AFTER JOHN McCAIN."
THERE’S THE HUMANITY OF IT, THAT
IF YOUR CHILD EVER ATTACKED
SOMEONE WHO HAD PASSED AWAY YOU
WOULD PUT THEM IN THEIR ROAD
RAGE WITHOUT DINNER FOR THE --
IN THEIR ROOM WITHOUT DINNER FOR
THE NIGHT.
THE NIGHT. AND THERE ARE THE FACTS OF IT,
THAT JOHN McCAIN GAVE THAT
INFORMATION, THE DOSSIER, AFTER
THE ELECTION.
THE ELECTION. PRESIDENT TRUMP CLAIMS HE DID IT
BEFORE THE ELECTION TO PUT
HILLARY CLINTON IN OFFICE.
HE’S GOT HIS FACTS WRONG.
THEY’RE EASILY DISCOVERED FACTS.
THEY’RE FACTS IN SOME CASES THAT
HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
HAPPENED YESTERDAY. AND WE CAN PLAY ON THE SHOW.
BUT DONALD TRUMP PLOWS AHEAD
WITH HIS ATTACKS ON A DEAD WAR
HERO.
HERO. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. SO I -- EVERYTHING YOU’RE SAYING
MAKES SENSE.
MAKES SENSE. ALL OF YOU EXCEPT I DON’T THINK
HE’S THINKING ABOUT IT THIS
MUCH.
MUCH. I THINK HE DOES WHAT HE NEEDS TO
DO EVEN IF IT’S PUTRID TO
DEFLECT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW HE’S
SO SQUEEZED FROM FINDING OUT
THAT COHEN WAS BEING
INVESTIGATED LONG BEFORE THE
RAID, JARED NOW BEING SQUEEZED
FOR THE WAY HE COMMUNICATES WITH
WORLD LEADERS, THE MUELLER
REPORT COMING.
REPORT COMING. WHETHER OR NOT THE A.G. IS GOING
TO STAND BY HIM.
MY GOD, THE LIST GOES ON, ALL
THE WITCHES, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO
STILL MIGHT FLIP --
>> BY THE WAY --
>> I THINK THIS WOULD CAUSE
SOMEBODY TO BE DESPERATELY
FLAILING, AND THAT’S WHAT I
THINK ALL THIS McCAIN STUFF IS.
>> SO FAR IN THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION AND THE SO-CALLED
WITCH HUNT --
>> SO MANY --
>> MY TRUMPIAN FRIENDS, 200
FEDERAL CHARGES.
FEDERAL CHARGES. >> SO MANY.
>> 200 FEDERAL CHARGES OF
WITCHES.
WITCHES. CRIMES COMMITTED BY WITCHES.
>> IMAGINE --
>> WHILE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
FEDERAL CRIMES, WE’VE GOT TO GO
TO BREAK.
TO BREAK. ALEX, WE’VE GOT TO GO TO BREAK.
FORGIVE ME FOR ONE MORE
QUESTION, ALEX, I KNOW NOT WHAT
I DO.
I DO. BUT CLINT, HOW IN THE WORLD DOES
THE FBI NOT HAVE AN
INVESTIGATION OPEN TODAY, OPEN
THIS VERY MORNING --
>> ON MR. WHATSAPP.
>> ON A GUY WHO DONALD TRUMP
TOLD ME DURING -- DURING
TRANSITION AND HAS TOLD SO MANY
OTHER PEOPLE WOULD BE THE DE
FACTO SECRETARY OF STATE.
A MAN MAKING COMMUNICATIONS WITH
A WORLD LEADER WHO MURDERED A
"WASHINGTON POST" JOURNALIST
AFTER TORTURING HIM AND THEN
SAWED HIM UP TO BITS.
HOW DOES THE FBI NOT START THAT
INVESTIGATION TODAY GIVEN WHAT
THEY DID WITH HILLARY CLINTON
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. WELL IT JUST GOES TO REINFORCE
THOSE THINGS WE WERE HEARING
ABOUT -- CONCERNS FROM THE
AGENCIES ABOUT JARED KUSHNER’S
SECURITY CLEARANCE, IF YOU
REMEMBER, AND WE DON’T KNOW THAT
THEY DON’T.
THEY DON’T. YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY ARE LOOKING
INTO THESE THINGS.
BUT I THINK ULTIMATELY THOSE
INVESTIGATIONS TEND TO ORIGINATE
IN CONGRESS.
IN CONGRESS. IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES THAT
WOULD PUSH THAT.
AND IT’S INTERESTING JUST SIX,
MAYBE EVEN SEVEN MONTHS AGO YOU
SOMEHOW BIPARTISAN SUPPORT TO
LOOK INTO THESE THINGS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS MAYBE
JASON CHAVEZ OR ONE -- SOME OF
THE REPUBLICANS WERE TALKING
ABOUT, HEY, WE NEED TO SET
STANDARDS AROUND THIS.
WE CAN’T GO AND SAY "LOCK HER
UP" AND THEN NOT FOLLOW THIS UP
WHEN SOMEBODY IS DOING SOMETHING
VERY SIMILAR FUNDAMENTAL THERE
ISN’T ONE STARTED, I WOULDN’T BE
SURPRISED IF ONE DOES GET
STARTED, ESPECIALLY IF IT KEEPS
PUSHING FROM THE HILL.
>> ALL RIGHT.
CLINT WATTS, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>>> STILL AHEAD, IN 2016, DONALD
TRUMP LOST THE POPULAR VOTE --
>> GOT WIPED OUT.
>> BUT WON THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
COLLEGE. >> ALMOST THREE MILLION VOTES HE
LOST BY.
LOST BY. >> SENIOR REPUBLICANS WHO ARE
EXPECTING A REPEAT IN 2020.
PLUS, NEW FUND-RAISING CONCERNS
FOR JOE BIDEN.
SOME TOP DEMOCRATIC DONORS MIGHT
NOT BE THERE FOR HIM IF HE
DECIDES TO MAKE A WHITE HOUSE
BID.
BID. THOSE NEW PIECES OF REPORTING
AHEAD.
AHEAD. THERE’S A LOT GOING ON.
THERE’S A LOT GOING ON.LOT GOING
