>> Sandra: PETER DOOCY IN NASHUA FOR US.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. TOP DEMOCRATS CALLING FOR AN
INVESTIGATION INTO THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AFTER SENIOR
OFFICIALS OVERRULED THE
PROSECUTORS’ RECOMMENDATION ON
THE SENTENCING FOR ROGER STONE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LONG-TIME
ALLY WAS CONVICTED OF SEVERAL
FELONIES INCLUDING LYING TO
CONGRESS.
CONGRESS. >> Ed: THE PRESIDENT DISAGREED
WITH IT SAYING THIS.
>> President Trump: IT WAS A
HORRIBLE ABERRATION.
HORRIBLE ABERRATION. THIS IS THE SAME MUELLER PEOPLE
THAT PUT EVERYBODY THROUGH HELL.
IT WAS A DISGRACEFUL
RECOMMENDATION AND THEY OUGHT
TO BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
>> Ed: JOINING US NOTIFY
JESSICA TARLOV AND LISA BOOTHE.
>> I WAS LOOKING AT THE WRONG
CAMERA.
CAMERA. >> Ed: WE’LL GET TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
HAMPSHIRE. JESSICA FIRST.
JESSICA FIRST. WHEN SUSAN COLLINS AT THE END
OF THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
I THINK HE LEARNED A LESSON.
NOW WE SEE THE ROGER STONE CASE.
>> THE ROGER STONE CASE THE
FOUR DOJ PROSECUTORS WHO
RESIGNED OVER THIS.
DOJ VIOLENCE ON VIOLENCE.
THEY HAD WRITTEN A
RECOMMENDATION, ROGER STONE
OBSTRUCTED CONGRESS AND LIED
UNDER OATH AND DID WITNESS
TAMPERING.
TAMPERING. BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS UPSET
ABOUT IT SUDDENLY WE HAVE TO
ASSUME IT WENT TO A.G. BARR WHO
OVERRULED HIS OWN DEPARTMENT ON
IT.
IT. SUSAN COLLINS WHO IS DEEPLY
DISAPPOINTED ALL THE TIME OR
WORRIED, HOWEVER SHE WANTS TO
PHRASE IT AND THEN ENDS UP
GETTING ONLINE SHOULD BE
EMBARRASSED ABOUT THIS.
LISA MURCOWSKI SHOULD BE.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GIVEN THE
LEEWAY TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS
WITH RECKLESS ABANDON AND IT IS
CONCERNING LOOKING AHEAD TO A
POTENTIAL LIKELY SECOND TERM
FOUR MORE YEARS OF THIS WHEN HE
DOESN’T NEED TO THINK ABOUT
REELECTION AT THE END OF IT.
>> Sandra: SHE WAS REFERRING
BACK PELOSI IN HER TWEET TO THE
PRESIDENT QUOTING REPORTERS IN
A SERIES OF TWEETS CALLING IT
VERY UNFAIR, MISCARRIAGE OF
JUSTICE AND RIDICULOUS NINE
YEAR SENTENCE RECOMMENDATION.
>> THE AMENDED FILING FROM THE
D.O.J. IS NOT SAYING THAT ROGER
STONE IS NOT GUILTY OF SOME OF
THE THINGS HE IS BEING ACCUSED
OF.
OF. HE IS SAYING 7 TO 9 YEARS IS
EXCESSIVE AND TYPICALLY USED
FOR THINGS LIKE ARMED ROBBERY.
THAT’S THE ARGUMENT.
WE HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE
TALKING ABOUT IMPARTIALITY.
IT IS NOT A WORD I WOULD USE TO
DESCRIBE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT’S HANDLING OF PEOPLE
SURROUNDING PRESIDENT TRUMP.
YOU LOOK AT PAUL MANAFORT WAS
PUT IN SOLITARY CON TINEMENT.
ROGER STONE.
ROGER STONE. A SWAT TEAM AND CAMERA CREW.
KEVIN KLEIN SMITH, F.B.I.
ATTORNEY DOCTORED AN EMAIL TO
TRY TO INCRIMINATE CARTER PAGE.
THE F.B.I. USED A DOCUMENT THAT
OPPOSITION RESEARCH BOUGHT AND
PAID FOR BY HILLARY CLINTON AND
THE DNC, DESPITE THE FACT THE
C.I.A. BASICALLY SAID IT WAS
INTERNET CONSPIRACY THEORY.
IMPARTIALITY IS NOT WHAT
THEY’VE SEEN FROM FEDERAL
PROSECUTORS AND THE GOVERNMENT.
>> Ed: THE BATTLES BACK AND
FORTH WILL CONTINUE.
SOMETHING JESSICA SAID A MOMENT
AGO.
AGO. IN TALKING ABOUT THIS YOU SAID
THE PRESIDENT SORT OF INCHAINED
AT A TIME WHEN HE IS LIKELY YOU
SAID AS A DEMOCRAT TO HAVE A
SECOND TERM.
SECOND TERM. LET’S SHIFT TO NEW HAMPSHIRE
AND SOUTH CAROLINA, NEVADA TO
COME.
COME. YOU AS A DEMOCRAT SEEM TO BE
COMING OUT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND
IOWA SAYING THIS PRESIDENT IS
LIKELY TO GET REELECTED.
>> THAT’S HOW I CAME INTO BOTH
THESE CONTESTS.
THESE CONTESTS. UNTIL WE HAVE A NOMINEE THAT
CAN BRING TOGETHER A COALITION
OF INDEPENDENTS AND MODERATE
REPUBLICANS AND ALSO UNIFY BOTH
OUR DIVERSE BASE OF
AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC
VOTERS AS WELL AS MORE MODERATE
ESTABLISHMENT VOTERS IT IS
CONCERNING.
CONCERNING. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE
LAST WEEK.
LAST WEEK. IOWA, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A
BIG WEEK FOR US WAS A COMPLETE
APP FAILURE.
APP FAILURE. THEN WE HAVE THE STATE OF THE
UNION WHERE THE PRESIDENT GOT
HIGH MARKS FOR HIS SPEECH.
NOT MY VIEW.
THEN HE WAS ACQUITTED AND
APPROVAL IN GALLUP HITS 49%.
ECONOMY IS TICKING ALONG.
63% OF AMERICANS ANY THEIR
FINANCIAL FUTURES ARE BRIGHT.
THOSE ARE GOOD BAROMETERS GOING
INTO AN ELECTION.
IT ISN’T IMPOSSIBLE BUT I DON’T
SEE A BILL CLINTON OR RONALD
REAGAN IN THE FIELD.
IT IS HARD TO UNSEAT A SITTING
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> Sandra: VOTER ANALYSIS ON
THOSE WHO SAY IT’S VERY
IMPORTANT TO PICK THE CANDIDATE
WHO CAN BEAT DONALD TRUMP.
THOSE THAT SAY THAT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT, 86%, LISA, TO
PICKING A STRONG LEADER RANKS
HIGH AT 82%.
THOSE THAT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE
67%.
67%. >> JESS AND I AGREE WITH MOST
OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
I THINK REPUBLICANS SHOULD NOT
GET COMPLACENT.
GET COMPLACENT. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WELL
POSITIONED TO WIN REELECTION
BUT THE COUNTRY IS VERY DIVIDED.
BOTH PARTIES WILL BE FIGHTING
FOR A SMALL SLIVER IN THE
MIDDLE.
MIDDLE. REPUBLICANS SHOULD NOT BE
COMPLACENT DESPITE THE FACT
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS A STRONG
ECONOMY.
ECONOMY. HE HAS INCUMBENCY AS WELL.
WHAT I SAW FROM LAST NIGHT WITH
THE MEDIA AND PEOPLE ON THE
LEFT I WONDER IF WE REPEAT THE
SAME MISTAKES IN 2016.
OVERLOOKING AND UNDERESTIMATING
BERNIE SANDERS.
BERNIE SANDERS. MANY PEOPLE SAID THE SAME
THINGS ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP
THAT HE COULDN’T WIN, HE IS NOT
A REAL CANDIDATE.
THIS ISN’T REAL.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS REAL
FOR BERNIE SANDERS.
AND HE WON LAST NIE. HE
BASICALLY WON IN IOWA.
PROBABLY WIN IN NEVADA.
IT PUTS HIM IN A STRONG
POSITION HEADING TO SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. I DON’T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD
UNDERESTIMATE HIM.
UNDERESTIMATE HIM. I CERTAINLY DON’T THINK
REPUBLICANS SHOULD UNDERAT --
UNDERESTIMATE HIM IN A GENERAL
ELECTION EITHER.
ELECTION EITHER. >> IT IS NOT NECESSARILY BERNIE
SANDERS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IT’S DOWN BALLOT.
IF YOU WANT TO GET SOMETHING
DONE YOU NEED A MAYOR ON YOUR
SIDE AND GOVERNORS ON YOUR SIDE
AND STATE LEGISLATURES.
LOOK AT THE CHANGES IN VIRGINIA.
HAVING A SOCIALIST ON TOP OF
THE TICKET MAY WORK FOR
BERNIE’S BRAND.
BERNIE’S BRAND. HE DOESN’T FUNDRAISE FOR OTHER
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. HE SWITCHED TO THE UNITY TALK
THAT I APPRECIATE IN SAYING NO
MATTER WHO THE NOMINEE IS WE’LL
WORK TO DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT
CONGRESS PEOPLE RUNNING IN IOWA
WHO FLIPPED REPUBLICAN SEATS OR
KENDRA HORNE IN OKLAHOMA OR
OTHERS AND BERNIE SANDERS IS
TOP OF THE TICKET THAT’S
TOUGHER FOR YOU THAN KLOBUCHAR
OR BIDEN.
OR BIDEN. >> I DON’T WANT BERNIE SANDERS
TO BE THE NOMINEE OR PRESIDENT.
I THINK HE IS TERRIFYING AND HE
WOULD DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND
EVERYTHING THAT WE STAND FOR
AND BELIEVE IN.
YOU ALSO DID NOT MAKE -- LOOK
WHAT SOCIALISM DOES TO
COUNTRIES.
COUNTRIES. YOU DIDN’T MAKE THE CASE OF WHY
-- YOU DIDN’T SAY HE WON’T BE
THE NOMINEE.
THE NOMINEE. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE
PAYING TO.
PAYING TO. EVERYONE IS PUTTING THE
EMPHASIS OF LAST NIGHT ON AMY
KLOBUCHAR WHEN SHE DOESN’T HAVE
THE SAME PATH TO A MAJORITY
THAT BERNIE SANDERS DOES.
THE MEDIA IS ONCE AGAIN DOWN
PLAYING THINGS JUST LIKE THEY
DID IN 2016.
>> JOE BIDEN IS NOT DONE UNTIL
AFRICAN-AMERICANS GET THEIR SAY.
HIS RALLY LAST NIGHT HE WAS
MORE PUMPED UP AND WITH A CROWD
THAT SUPPORTS HIM.
HE LEFT A SISTER BEHIND TO FEND
FOR HERSELF AT THE ELECTION
PARTY BUT UNTIL WE HEAR FROM
BLACK VOTERS WE CAN’T MAKE A
DECISION LIKE THAT.
HE IS DEFINITELY HURT HERE AND
MIKE BLOOMBERG IS THE HOT TOPIC
OUT OF IOWA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A
CANDIDATE THAT CONCEDES RACES.
HE GAVE UP ON IOWA ESSENTIALLY.
STARTED DOWN PLAYING THAT AND
STARTED TALKING ABOUT SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. HE SAID DURING THE DEBATE I’M
NOT GOING TO WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
HE SKIPS NEVADA TO GO STRAIGHT
TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CANDIDATE
STRAIGHT UP GIVING UP.
>> NO MALARKEY.
>> NO MALARKEY AND NO WIN.
>> HOW MANY DELEGATES ARE OUT
THERE.
THERE. ALL OUR HAIR IS ON FIRE AND THE
24 DELEGATES LAST TIME.
>> Sandra: TOO MUCH HAIRSPRAY
FOR THAT.
FOR THAT. >> Ed: THAT TOOK A TURN.
