NOTHING BETTER THAN A REPUBLICAN CATFIGHT.
THIS ONE IN ONE CORNER WE ALL BRIEFLY HAVE DONALD TRUMP.
WE HAVE DOUBLE TROUBLE MUST EVERY TIME BECAUSE IT IS A
CATFIGHT.
HE IS DONALD J TROLL KING OF THE TROLLS AND HE AND THE OTHER
CORNER, SENATOR BOB CORKER FROM TENNESSEE, DIE HARD REPUBLICAN.
THIS FIGHT IS ALL THE MORE INTERESTING ON ITS FACE BECAUSE
HE OF TWO
REPUBLICAN GOING AGAINST EACH OTHER, BUT ALSO THE
DEVASTATING COMMENTS BY CORKER GIVE YOU AN EXCELLENT
INSIGHT INTO WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
HOW DID IT GET STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
WE GO TO THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR THE EXPLANATION.
THAT IS FOR SPECULATION.
I WILL ADD, OF COURSE I DID.
HE SAW IT ON FOX AND HE IS LIKE HOW COULD CORKER POSSIBLY SAY
THAT THIS OTHER GUY THAT THESE ARE THE DOCUMENT FROM CASTLE
THAT I COULD NOT DO IT ON MY OWN THOUGHT AND OF COURSE REX
TILLERSON
IS THE SECRETARY OF STATE HE HAD ISSUES WITH LAST WEEK.
SO TRUMP DECIDES HE'S GOING TO START A WAR WITH BOB CORKER.
GENIUS IDEA, THAT WILL HELP YOU GET VOTES IN THE SENATE.
SO HE TWEETS OUT:
OKAY.
LOOK, IF WE WEREN'T USED TO IT, A PRESIDENT SENDING OUT A
TWEET LIKE THAT ABOUT SOMEONE IN HIS OWN PARTY WOULD BE SO
MENTAL THAT THAT'S ALL THE ANYBODY WOULD EVER TALK ABOUT.
IF THESE TWEETS WERE FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA ABOUT A
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR, IT WOULD'VE BEEN THE LARGEST
CONTROVERSY OF HIS ENTIRE EIGHT-YEAR ADMINISTRATION.
BY FAR.
IF HE WAS LIKE, SCHUMER IS A BABY.
I WOULDN'T ENDORSE THEM SO HE WOULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE, HE
DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS.
PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE, WHAT IN THE WORLD
THAT YOU JUST SAY?
BUT WE'RE USED TO THE PRESIDENT OF BEING A LUNATIC SO WE LIKE OF
COURSE, HE IS ATTACKING ONE OF HIS OWN COLLEGUES, A REPUBLICAN
IN VICIOUS WAYS AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S NOT TRUE SO THE
NEW YORK TIMES ASKS CORKER ABOUT IT.
CORKER SAYS, THIS IS HIS VERSION.
I'M NOT USED ONE TO BELIEVE ANY POLITICIAN LET ALONE HER PUBLIC
AND POLITICIANS IS NOT LIKE I LOOK AT BOB CORKER TO THINK LIKE
US THE MEDIA DOES, HE IS AN HONORABLE ESTEEMED
GENTLEMAN FROM TENNESSEE, HE MUST BE TELLING THE TRUTH.
I'VE A GREAT DEAL OF SKEPTICISM AND HE MIGHT BE COLORING IT
TO HIS IT VANTAGE A LITTLE BIT, TOO, BUT GIVEN THE TRACK
RECORD OF THE PATHOLOGICAL LIES OF DONALD TRUMP, WHO DO YOU
THINK IS MORE LIKELY TO BE TELLING THE TRUTH?
I AM GOING TO VOTE WITH CORKER ON THIS ONE.
SO WE GO FORWARD.
HE SAYS:
SO NOW HE'S TALKING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES IN RESPONSE TO THOSE
TWEETS FROM THE PRESIDENT OVER THE WEEKEND BUT HE'S NOT DONE.
AFTER HE TALKS OF THE TIMES, AND THERE'S SOME REALLY POWERFUL
QUOTES I'M GOING TO GET TO IN A SECONDÖ HE THEN GOES BACK ONLINE
AND GET A LOAD OF THIS, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A MEOW.
SENATOR CORKER TWEETS:
DAMN.
DRAMS.
DRAMA IN THE REPUBLICAN CIRCLE STOP BASICALLY THAT'S BOB
CORKER SAYING I AM NOT RUNNING FOR REELECTION ANYWAY.
WHEN YOU GOING TO DO TO MEET?
HAVE ADDED THAT YOU WANTED TO ME TWEETS, I CAN DO MEAN TWEETS.
WHAT YOU WERE HERE AND THEY ARE ABOUT 2.
SO COURSE TRUMP'S LIKE WHAT!
SOMEONE IT'S WE DID AGAINST ME
GOT BACK ON THE TWITTER MACHINE AND SAYS:
THAT'S A REFERENCE TO THE IRAN
NEGOTIATIONS I HAVE VOTED
AGAINST THE RUN DEAL BECAUSE HE IS A REPUBLICAN BUT HE A LOT
OF ON THAT CASE WHICH PITSTOP CONSERVATIVES THAT THERE LIKE
YOU SHOULD NOW ALLOW NEVER ALLOW THE LENDER OBAMA HAD THEIR YOU?
NOW WE DON'T HAVE WAR.
HOW DATA EVEN THOUGH HE ACTUALLY DID AGAINST THE DEAL WITH
THEM PERSONALLY HAPPY WITH THE WORD UP AND NOT GOOD ENOUGH,
SOMEONE SAID THAT MEMO TO DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY
HE KNEW THE DETAILS OF THAT AND HE COMES OUT AND GOES, HE GAVE
US THE IRAN DEAL, NEVER LIKE THAT GUY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
REALLY?
YOU ARE MEETING WITH HIM TWO WEEKS AGO THAT YOU WERE
HAPPY TO ACCEPT HIS SUPPORT AND PRAISE DURING THE CAMPAIGN AND
BY THE WAY, BOB CORKER, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE PARTY.
YOU ARE A LITTLE BIT LATE.
I GUESS WE WILL TAKE IT, BUT
WE ALSO REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU SUPPORTED DONALD TRUMP AS
HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
ANYWAY, NOW LET'S GO TO THE DEVASTATING QUOTES.
CORKER, TALKING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES SAID:
A REPUBLICAN SENATOR SANG A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT COULD
SET US ON THE PATH TO WORLD WAR III BECAUSE OF HOW RECKLESS
HE IS AND HOW HE'S TREATING THE WHITE HOUSE BASICALLY AS A JOKE.
WOW.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BY FAR THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSY UNDER OBAMA.
THEY WOULD'VE HAD HEARING AFTER HEARING AFTER HEARING.
OH MY GOD, YOU HAVE A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR SAYING THAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BRING US TO WORLD WAR III.
WHAT DOES HE KNOW THAT WE DON'T KNOW?
WE NEED 1000 HEARINGS ON THIS.
THIS WILL BE LIKE ANY OTHER DAY.
OF COURSE.
BUT THIS IS AMAZING STUFF, GUYS.
DON'T GET USED TO HOW INSANE THIS IS.
HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN:
WHICH OF COURSE IS TRUE THAT I THINK IT IS THINK THAT.
BY THE WAY, ALSO PROBABLY WHY HE FIRES ONE PERSON A WEEK
THAT HE STILL THINKS HE'S ON THE APPRENTICE.
YOUR FRIEND, HOW DO I DO WITH THE RELATED RATINGS?
YOU, YOU'RE IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT'S A DIFFERENT JOB.
HE GOES ON TO SAY, CORKER DOES:
LOOK, THAT IS THE SEVENTH MOST AMAZING AND DAMAGING QUOTE
FROM THIS SERIES OF INTERVIEWS AND TWEETS, BUT I WANT YOU
TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
A REPUBLICAN SENATOR SAYING HE WOULD HAVE TO CONCERN
ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT OUR NATION.
IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN OUT THERE, WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW
IS WHAT THE PEOPLE IN POWER DO KNOW.
THEY THINK THAT HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO RUN THE PRESIDENCY.
THAT HE IS A DANGER TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
THAT IS WHAT BOB CORKER IS TELLING YOU BECAUSE HE'S
NOT RUNNING FOR REELECTION.
HE HAS MORE.
THAT IS WHY HE MADE THE REFERENCE TO THE ADULT
DAYCARE, BECAUSE HE DONALD TRUMP IS A CHILD AND EVERY DAY
THEY HAVE TO SAY PLEASE, MISTER PRESIDENT, YOU ARE SUCH AN
IDIOT, DON'T DO THAT, YOU ARE GOING TO START SOMETHING
THAT IS GOING TO HAVE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES.
OF COURSE THEY DO NOT SAY IN THAT LANGUAGE BECAUSE ALL HE
CARES ABOUT HIS EGO.
THEY HAVE TO SAY, MR.
PRESIDENT, YOU ARE SO
WONDERFUL AND THAT'S TWEET WAS FANTASTIC BUT IF YOU COULD
JUST UP WITH THE FANTASTIC TWEETS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT
START UP FANTASTIC WORLD WAR III.
OKAY, SO MORE:
SO HE IS SSAYING IF THOSE GUYS LEAVE THEN WATCH OUT
BECAUSE THEN THE CHILD WILL HAVE NO ONE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM
AND GOD KNOWS WHAT BUTTONS HE WILL PRESENT.
HE SAYS:
SO WHEN HE THREATENS COMPLETE ANNIHILATION OF NORTH KOREA AND
SAYS HEY, IGNORE DIPLOMATS LIKE REX TILLERSON, THE SECRETARY
OF STATE, THAT ALL BEASLEY HAS DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES
BECAUSE THAT MEANS WE CAN'T SOLVE IT THROUGH DIPLOMACY.
YOU JUST TOLD THEM TO IGNORE TOP DIPLOMAT.
WHAT IS THE ONLY OTHER OPTION LEFT?
AND AS BOB CORKER DEEPLY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN IS
TELLING YOU, THAT WOULD BE WORLD WAR III.
DON'T DO IT.
WATCH OUT FOR THE MAN CHILD IN OFFICE.
MORE.
HE SAYS:
THAT'S ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT ONE.
THINK THIS SINCE DAY ONE THAT YOU THINK IS DOING SOME
SORT OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHEST?
HE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND TWO-DIMENSIONAL WHAT CHESAPEAKE
LATER FOR HOURS THAT HE WOULD BE LIKE WHAT I TWEET ABOUT THIS?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND I CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF
CHECKERS.
THERE'S
NO STRATEGY.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, CERTAINLY REPUBLICANS
DO AND OTHER PEOPLE, HE WON THE PRESIDENCY.
HE RAN AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON.
MAYBE HE HAS SOME DEEP STRATEGY.
THERE IS NO STRATEGY.
IT IS JUST AN IDIOT SITTING IN HIS
OFFICE WATCHING FOX NEWS AND TWITTING.
THAT IS IT.
THAT IS THE WHOLE EXPLANATION.
NOW IT'S NOT JUST ME SAYING IT, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
RESPECTED REPUBLICANS IN THE COUNTRY SAYING IT.
HE SAYS:
WHETHER IT'S NORTH KOREA, IRAN, OTHER FOREIGN RELATIONS.
HE GOES ON:
SO HE IS TELLING YOU SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU
BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IT OR SOME OF YOU OF COURSE, BY
THE WAY, LET'S BE CLEAR.
2/3 OF THE COUNTRY CAN'T STAND DONALD TRUMP.
EVERYBODY SAYS HE MUST BE POPULAR.
NO, HE IS PULLING AT ABOUT 35%.
THAT IS A.
THAT IS NOT POPULAR.
THAT IS DEEPLY UNPOPULAR.
HE HAD THE DISTINCTION OF BEATING THE SINGLE MOST
UNPOPULAR CANDIDATE WE'VE EVER HAD AND HE DIDN'T EVEN BE
HER IN THE POPULAR VOTE.
THERE IS NO MAGIC.
HE JUST FIGURED IT OUT TO BE POPULIST IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY PUT OUT AN ELITIST CANDIDATE.
THAT IS IT.
THE 35% IS REAL.
THAT MEANS PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HIM.
ONLY ABOUT A THIRD OF THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS THEM.
THERE'S NO MAGIC HERE, OKAY AND THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN
CAUCUS ACCORDING TO ONE OF THEIR OWN KNOWS WHAT A MORON THE
PRESIDENT IS, HOW DANGEROUS THE PRESIDENT IS.
THEY ARE JUST KEEPING IT FROM YOU.
FINALLY, HE SAYS:
BY THAT HE DOES NOT MEAN MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD POLITICALLY.
BOB CORKER AND THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS IS DEEPLY RIGHT WING.
THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT TRUMP'S POLICIES BEING TOO
MODERATE.
SOMETIMES HE'S TO THE RIGHT OF THEM, SOMETIMES TO THE LEFT.
THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE IS.
THEY ARE WORRIED THAT HE IS GOING TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AND THIS IS BOB CORKER
LETTING THE WHOLE COUNTRY KNOW, WE KNOW.
THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS, THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS, WE KNOW
THAT WE HAVE A MADMAN IN OFFICE.
WELL, SENATOR CORKER, IF YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A DEEP
RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT.
IT IS NOT LIKE YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND YOU ARE NOT
RETIRED YET, YOU ARE STILL UNITED STATES SENATOR AND
IF YOU ARE A WHOLE CAUCUS KNOWS, GET TOGETHER WITH THE
DEMOCRATS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE STARTING WORLD WAR III IS NO LIGHT THING AND IT
SHOULDN'T INVOLVE POLITICS.
WE DO HAVE A DANGEROUS LUNATIC IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
HE IS A BUFFOON THAT HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING.
HE IS A DANGER TO THE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND NOW YOU HAVE
ADMITTED THAT YOU KNOW THAT.
SO THE VERY NEXT STEP SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
