>>> THE PRESIDENT'S TWEET WAS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE.
>> OBVIOUSLY I DON'T SEE THAT AS AN APPROPRIATE COMMENTS.
>> TWEETS LIKE THIS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE GREATNESS
OF THE COUNTRY AND THE OFFICE. >> THIS WEEK, MOST OF WASHINGTON
SPENT TIME DISCUSSING THE DIGNITY OF THE OVAL OFFICE, AND
WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP'S ACTIONS LIKE PICKING A FIGHT WITH CABLE
TV HOSTS MET ITS STANDARDS, SEEMED TO HAVE THE DEFINITIVE
ANSWER, TWEETING I'M SORRY, BUT TRUMP'S BEHAVIOR IS NOT JUST
BENEATH THE DIGNITY OF THE PRESIDENCY BUT THAT OF ANY
DECENT MAN. JOINING ME, JERRY SPRINGER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
APPRECIATE IT. GOOD TO TALK TO YOU.
>> THANKS, JOY, FOR HAVING ME. >> LET'S GET YOUR REACTION TO
THE LATEST TRUMP OPUS, THIS IS HIS TWEET THIS MORNING, SHOWING
HIMSELF BODY SLAMMING SUPERIMPOSED CNN BACK WHEN HE
WAS A CHARACTER ON WWE. AS SOMEBODY WHO'S HAD MORE THAN
A FEW TV FIGHTS ON HIS SHOW, WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT
MOMENT? >> WELL, THE POINT IS WHAT I
WOULD THINK ANY GROWN UP'S REACTION WOULD BE, THAT'S SHOW
BUSINESS. IT DOESN'T BELONG IN THE WHITE
HOUSE. I DON'T THINK TRUMP HAS ANY
FEELING ABOUT THE DIGNITY AND SACREDNESS OF WHERE HE IS.
THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL, MOST SACRED JOB IN AMERICA, MOST
POWERFUL JOB IN THE WORLD. WHEN YOU'RE THERE, YOU DON'T
BEHAVE LIKE YOU'RE ON A TV REALITY SHOW, YOU DON'T BEHAVE
LIKE YOU'RE ON WWE. I HAVE BEEN ON WWE.
BUT IT WOULD NEVER DAWN ON ME THAT OH MY GOSH, THIS IS HOW YOU
BEHAVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU COULD TAKE ANY GUEST I EVER
HAD ON MY SHOW, WITH ALL OF THE CRAZINESS OVER 27 YEARS.
IF THEY GOT AN INVITATION TO COME TO THE WHITE HOUSE, EVERY
ONE OF THEM WOULD PROBABLY SAY WHOA, AND WOULD LOOK FOR THE
VERY BEST CLOTHING, THE VERY BEST SUIT, PUT ON THEIR VERY
BEST MANNERS BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO SEE THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES. WE DON'T HAVE THAT FEELING ANY
MORE WITH TRUMP IN THERE. IT IS LIKE THIS IS JUST A
CIRCUS. >> DO YOU THINK THAT THE SORT OF
JERRY SPRINGER GUEST OR GUYS THAT WOULD COME ON, BE WILLING
TO FIGHT ON TELEVISION, WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE THAT WERE ON YOUR
SHOW, GUESTS ON THE SHOW, DO YOU GET THE SENSE THAT THEY WOULD
LOOK UP TO DONALD TRUMP AND SAY THIS IS THE KIND OF PRESIDENT I
WANT. HE IS MORE LIKE ME, THE WAY I'M
WILLING TO BEHAVE IN PUBLIC. >> I THINK DEEP DOWN IF YOU'RE
NOT IN A POLITICAL ARGUMENT AND YOU'VE SHOWN SOME OF THE CLIPS
OF THE OTHER REPUBLICAN SENATORS, DEEP DOWN EVERYONE
KIND OF KNOWS NO MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR PERSONAL LIFE,
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR BEHAVIOR IS LIKE, WHATEVER THEIR
DYSFUNCTIONS ARE, THEY KIND OF KNOW WHEN YOU'RE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, YOU OUGHT TO BEHAVE BETTER.
YOU OUGHT TO TRY TO BE SOME KIND OF ROLE MODEL.
YOU'RE REPRESENTING THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH.
BEHAVE YOURSELF. THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.
I'M TELLING YOU, EVEN PEOPLE ON MY SHOW WHEN THE SHOW IS OVER,
THEY'RE VERY WELL MANNERED. THEY SAY HEY, JERRY, CAN I HAVE
SOME PICTURES, WOULD YOU HOLD MY KID WHILE WE TAKE A PICTURE.
WHAT'S A GOOD RESTAURANT TO GO TO AROUND HERE.
THEY BEHAVE. EVEN CALL ME MR. SPRINGER, FOR
GOD'S SAKES. OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE MEETING THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU HAVE A RESPECT FOR THAT.
WHY CAN'T TRUMP HAVE THAT RESPECT.
>> I THINK THE BIG DEBATE. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE THIS DEBATE
EVERY DAY WITH PEOPLE OF WHETHER OR NOT HE IS ABOVE OR A FEATURE,
WHETHER OR NOT HE IS THE ABERRATION OR BARACK OBAMA WAS
THE LAST IN AN ERA OF PRESIDENTS WHO COMPORTED THEMSELF IN A
CERTAIN WAY, WHATEVER THEIR PERSONAL LIVES, GO BACK TO ALL
OF THE PRESIDENTS THAT WERE CHEATERS OR WHATEVER VULGAR IN
THE WAY THEY SPOKE WHEN YOU GOT THE LBJ TAPES.
IN PUBLIC, EVEN RICHARD NIXON IN PUBLIC COMPORTED HIMSELF WELL.
DONALD TRUMP TWEETED SOMETHING YESTERDAY THAT I THINK IS
INTERESTING. HE TWEETED YESTERDAY MY USE OF
SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL, IT IS IN ALL CAPS
MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
HAVE WE CROSSED THAT RUBICON WHERE MAYBE THE CRASS
ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OF TRUMP IS THE NEW STANDARD FOR WHAT A LOT
OF AMERICANS THINK A PRESIDENT SHOULD BE, NOT WHAT YOU AND I
ARE TALKING ABOUT, THIS DIGNIFIED OLD STANDARD?
>> WELL, HE HAS CROSSED THE RUBICON BUT I DON'T THINK THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE. SURE, TRUMP HAS HIS SUPPORTERS.
I GET THAT. BUT IT IS NOT A MAJORITY OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND IT IS NOT EVEN A MAJORITY OF
REPUBLICANS IF YOU ASK THEM ABOUT THIS BEHAVIOR.
NO. MOST AMERICANS ARE ABLE TO
COMPARTMENTALIZE, THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE WATCHING CRAZY
TELEVISION, THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE WATCHING PROFESSIONAL
WRESTLING, THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE WATCHING A SPORTING
EVENT OR OUT WITH THEIR FRIENDS ON FRIDAY NIGHT IN A BAR.
THEY KNOW THAT THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. I DON'T BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND
THAT MOST AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT INDECENT BEHAVIOR IS APPROPRIATE
IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT.
>> JERRY, LET ME PLAY YOU A LITTLE OF DONALD TRUMP'S MOST
ABSURD MOMENTS. THIS IS BEFORE 60 MILLION PEOPLE
VOTED FOR HIM FOR PRESIDENT. TAKE A LOOK.
>> OKAY. HERE'S ONE JUST CAME OUT.
LOCK HER UP IS RIGHT. NO.
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS GUY, OH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAID, OH, I
DON'T REMEMBER. HE'S GOING LIKE I DON'T
REMEMBER. MAYBE THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
I COULD STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF FIFTH AVENUE AND SHOOT SOMEBODY
AND I WOULDN'T LOSE ANY VOTERS. BINGE BINGE, BONG BONG BONG, YOU
KNOW WHAT THAT IS, RIGHT? >> JERRY, THAT SORT OF THING
MADE PEOPLE THAT ANALYZE POLITICS BELIEVE THAT SET ASIDE
WORKING CLASS VOTERS WHO MAY LOOK AT HIM AS WHAT THEY WANT TO
ASPIRE TO BE IF THEY HAD $14 MILLION THEIR DAD LEFT THEM, YOU
HAVE A LOT OF WHITE REPUBLICAN WOMEN WHO LOOKED AT THAT AND A
LOT OF ANALYSTS SAID THERE'S NO WAY THAT SORT OF PEOPLE DRESSED
AND PRESSED WOULD VOTE FOR SOMEBODY LIKE THAT, AND THEY
DID. SO I WONDER IF MAYBE WE'RE
ASCRIBING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC A KIND OF DESIRE FOR DIGNITY,
DESIRE FOR PROPER COMPORTMENT THAT IS ONLY THERE FOR PEOPLE
THAT ARE IN AN IVORY TOWER, MAYBE IT ISN'T THERE AS BROADLY
AS WE THINK. >> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
THE PAST ELECTION, NOT A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, 3 MILLION
MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HILLARY, LET'S REMEMBER THAT.
ANYWAY, A LOT OF PEOPLE DID VOTE FOR TRUMP.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL IN A SENSE.
THEY WEREN'T SUPPORTING HIS BEHAVIOR.
THEY WOULD SAY EVEN IN INTERVIEWS NO, THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
I DON'T WANT MY KID GROWING UP LIKE THAT.
THAT'S NO WAY TO BEHAVE TOWARD WOMEN, ET CETERA.
BUT AT LEAST IF HE GOT ELECTED WE WOULD HAVE THE PERSON
SELECTED FOR THE SUPREME COURT THAT WE WANT.
OR AT LEAST IF WE VOTED FOR HIM, HE WOULD GIVE US WEALTHY PEOPLE
A TAX BREAK. SO PEOPLE WERE WILLING TO
OVERLOOK THAT, NOT THAT THEY APPROVED OF THE BEHAVIOR, BUT
THEY WERE WILLING TO OVERLOOK THAT BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET THE
ONE THING THAT THEY REALLY WANTED OUT OF POLITICS WHICH
MAYBE WAS A LOWER TAX OR THE RIGHT SUPREME COURT APPOINTMENT
OR WHATEVER. THAT IS THE DEAL THEY MADE.
NOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE RESULT OF THIS AND HOW WE'RE
MOCKED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, HOW ALL OF A SUDDEN MAYBE OUR
SECURITY ISN'T AS GREAT AS IT SHOULD BE, MAYBE PEOPLE SAY
THAT'S THE LAST TIME I MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL ON THIS
CASE, NO, I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THAT MAN AGAIN.
>> WE SHALL SEE. JERRY
