BAD OPTICS? I DON’T KNOW.
STEVE SCALISE IS JOINING US.
CONGRESSMAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU,
DID YOU WITNESS THAT?
WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> I DID.
>> I DID. AND IT WAS ONE OF MOST
DISGRACEFUL THINGS THAT I SEEN.
STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, A
TIME WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GREAT
ABOUT THE COUNTRY.
AND PRESIDENT’S THEME OF THE
GREAT AMERICAN COME BACK.
THERE ARE POLITICAL ISSUES THAT
GET BLENDED IN, ONE SIDE SITS
DOWN OTHER STANDS UP, I WAS
SHOCK Z THEY WOULD SIT DOWN WHEN
HE TALKED ABOUT KILLING
TERRORISTS.
TERRORISTS. THAT USED TO UNITE THE NATION,
THE FACT THEY CANNOT CELEBRATE
THAT OTHER THINGS THEY SAT DOWN,
LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT FOR
AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS
WE SHOULD ALL CELEBRATE, THAT
BUT THEY SAT FOR THAT THAT
LOOKED BAD FOR THEM, BUT SHE DID
THAT RIP THE SPEECH THAT IS A
NEW LOW YOU SEE WITH THIS
PERSONAL VENDETTA THEY HAD
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
I THINK IT LOOKS BAD, PEOPLE
THAT ARE WATCHING AT HOME, THEY
MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING
THAT MIGHT NOT BE HARD WORE HARD
OR RIGHT, THEY LOOK AT, THAT
THEY SAY, THESE PEOPLE ARE --
THEY DON’T HAVE KIND OF LEVEL OF
RESPECT FOR WHAT MAKES AMERICA
GREAT.
GREAT. AND I THINK IN END, YOU KNOW
LIKE YOU SEE WITH IOWA.
THEIR PARTY IS IN A MELTDOWN
RIGHT NOW, IT COULD BE AFFECTING
THEIR BETTER JUDGMENT.
>> YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW,
ALMOST LIKE TWO TEENAGE BOYS,
AND SEPARATED FROM FIGHTING, YOU
DIDN’T SHAKE MY HAND SO THIS IS
MY RESPONSE.
MY RESPONSE. DID YOU SEE -- DID IT LOOK LIKE
PRESIDENT DELIBERATELY AVOIDED
HER OR OPPORTUNITY TO SHAKE HER
HAND.
HAND. >> HE CAME IN, HE WAS OUR --
COURTEOUS ON THE THE BEGINNING
OF THE SPEECH, THAT OPTIC WILL
LOOK BAD FOR HER.
IF THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT THEIR
PARTY TO REPRESENT, I THINK THEY
WOULD LOSE A LOT OF MIDDLE
AMERICA.
AMERICA. THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO ARE
BENEFITS FROM WHAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS DOING.
WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH POLICIES
OR NOT, IF THEY ARE WORKING YOU
OUGHT TO APPLAUD IT.
HE TALKED THAT YOUNG GIRL INTO
DID NOT HAVE OPPORTUNITY.
NOW SHE CAN GO TO SCHOOL OF HER
CHOICE.
CHOICE. PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THIS.
I THINK NOT ONLY LOOKS CHILDISH
BUT DISRESPECTFUL AND THIS IS A
LOW TO REPRESENT YOURSELF AS
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE THAT WAY.
>> MANY ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
FOLLOWING THIS.
FOLLOWING THIS. NOT A QUICK READ.
THEY DEEM THIS TO BE A POLITICAL
SPEECH ON PART OF PRESIDENT TO
SORT OF YOU KNOW GET BACK IN
THEIR FACE.
THEIR FACE. TALK ABOUT THINGS HE KNEW IN
THAT CROWD, HALF -- YOU THINK
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. WANTED TO IMPEACH HIM, THAT
MIGHT STILL BE CASE.
CERTAINLY ALL 47 DEMOCRATIC
SENATORS TOMORROW WILL WANT TO
CONVICT HIM.
CONVICT HIM. HE WILL LIKELY SURVIVE THAT.
ALL REPUBLICANS, WILL VOTE
AGAINST THAT.
AGAINST THAT. I AM WONDERING.
WHAT YOU MAKE OF THIS DIVISIVE
NATURE.
NATURE. HALF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM, WANT TO
PRESIDENT OUT.
PRESIDENT OUT. AND THE -- HE WAS GETTING RIGHT
TO THEM, SAYING I’M GOING BEYOND
YOU, DO YOU THINK THAT WAS HIS
STRATEGY?
STRATEGY? >> I THINK THIS PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAYING I’M NOT GOING TO BE
DETERRED.
DETERRED. HE STAIRED DOWN A LOT OF PEOPLE,
DOWN BAD GUYS AND TERRORISTS, HE
HAS TAKEN ON CHINA, AND I IRAN,
HE STOOD UP FOR WHAT IS GREAT
ABOUT THE COUNTRY.
YOU CAN STAND AND SIT DURING
CERTAIN THINGS.
CERTAIN THINGS. IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITHA
PROPOSAL.
PROPOSAL. >> I RESPECT THE HECK OUT OF
YOU, YOU GOT SHOT AND BARELY
SURVIVED.
SURVIVED. THAT UNITED DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS LIKE NOTHING I HAVE
SEEN.
SEEN. MAYBE GOING BACK TO 9/11.
A TESTAMENT TO RESPECT.
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU. BUT, I THINK IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT, I’M IN THE BLAMES
PRESIDENT OR NANCY PELOSI, BUT I
DO NOT THINK THAT GOODWILL
EXISTS TODAY.
EXISTS TODAY. AM I MISSING SOMETHING.
>> THIS IS AT A LOW POINT.
YOU TALKED ABOUT, I CAME BACK,
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN TEAM WITH
COME TOGETHER.
COME TOGETHER. THEY ARE SO FIXATED ON ALMOST A
HATRED FOR PRESIDENT IT HAS
CLOUDED A LOT OF THEIR JUDGMENT.
I THINK THAT PRESIDENT WILL GET
REELECTED.
REELECTED. BUT THEY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO COME TOGETHER, HE SAID I TOP
WANT TO WORK WITH CONGRESS TO
LOWER DRUG PRICES THEY OUGHT TO
WANT TO WORK WITH HIM ON THAT.
AND THEY OUGHT TO GET TO THAT
APPROACH OF WORKING WITH HIM.
>> WE SAW MORE OF BOTH SIDES
