TUESDAY MORNING. I’M YASMIN ALONGSIDE AYMAN.
"MORNING JOE" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
>>> HE BUYS AND SELLS
POLITICIANS OF ALL STRIPES.
HE’S ALREADY --
>> DR. PAUL.
>> HE’S ALREADY HEDGING HIS BET
ON THE CLINTONS.
IF HE DOESN’T RUN AS REPUBLICAN,
MAYBE HE SUPPORTS CLINTON OR
RUNS AS AN INDEPENDENT, BUT I’D
SAY HE’S ALREADY HEDGING HIS
BETS BECAUSE HE’S USED TO BUYING
POLITICIANS.
POLITICIANS. >> WELL I’VE GIVEN YOU PLENTY OF
MONEY.
MONEY. >> WELL, THE RAND PAUL OF 2015
WOULD LIKELY NOT RECOGNIZE THE
RAND PAUL OF LAST NIGHT’S TRUMP
RALLY IN CONNECTICUT.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
BIG DIFFERENCE. GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
"MORNING JOE."
"MORNING JOE." IT IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6th.
ALONG WITH WILLIE AND ME WE HAVE
MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR MIKE BARNICLE,
NATIONAL AFFAIRS ANALYST FOR NBC
NEWS AND NAME JOHN HEILMAN.
AND THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF
SHOW TIME’S THE CIRCUS, FORMER
AIDE TO THE WHITE HOUSE ELISE
JORDAN.
JORDAN. ANDON
ANDON AND JONATHAN LEMIRE.
HA WAS THAT RAND PAUL?
I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE HIM?
>> YOU COULD ADD HIM TO THE
OTHERS THAT RAILED AGAINST TRUMP
IN ’15 AND ’16 AND NOW ARE
RALLYING FOR HIM IN 2019.
YOU WERE THERE, RAND PAUL WALKED
UP TO THE LINE OF OUTING THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER, DIDN’T SAY HIS
NAME BUT GAVE SOME CONTEXT AND
DETAILS THAT WE WON’T GIVE THIS
MORNING SO THAT PEOPLE COULD
BASICALLY DECIPHER WHO HE IS.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
THIS IS THE PUSH NOW WE ARE
SEEING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND
THE PRESIDENT’S ALLIES,
INCLUDESING A SOMEWHAT
INCLUDING AN UNLIKELY ONE IN
RAND PAUL.
RAND PAUL. THE PRESIDENT HAS FOCUSED ON THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER BELIEVING THEY
ARE A MEMBER OF THE DEEP STATE,
TIES TO THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATIONS, AND HAS BEEN
LOOKING TO GET HIM.
IGNORING THE FACT THAT
EVERYTHING THE WHISTLE-BLOWER
HIGHLIGHTED IN HIS INITIAL
COMPLAINT HAS BEEN CORROBORATED
’THE THERE HASN’T BEEN ANYTHING,
TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THAT THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER HAS ALLEGED THAT
HAS PROVEN TO BE INACCURATE.
BASED ON WITNESS TESTIMONY IN
CAPITOL HILL, AND OF COURSE THE
MEMO/PSEUDOTRANSCRIPT THAT THE
WHITE HOUSE PUT OUT OF THE
PRESIDENT’S CALL WITH THE
UKRAINIAN LEADER.
UKRAINIAN LEADER. BUT TRUMP, ESPECIALLY IN THE
LAST WEEK OR SO AS THIS
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY SHIFTS INTO
A NEW PHASE, THEY HAVE THE VOTE,
THIS IS HAPPENING, THE STEADY
STREAM OF TESTIMONY REMAINS
DAMAGING, HAS BEEN CALLING FOR
THE WHISTLE-BLOWER TO BE
UNVEILED CLAIMING THAT HE’S
BEING PROTECTED BY DEMOCRATS AND
THE MEDIA.
THE MEDIA. THERE ARE FEDERAL PROTECTIONS
FOR WHISTLE-BLOWERS FOR THAT
VERY REASON, SO PEOPLE CAN COME
FORWARD AND FEEL LIKE THEY CAN
FLAG THINGS THAT THEY SEE
WITHOUT FEAR OF PUNISHMENT OR
RETRIBUTION OR PERHAPS HARM TO
THEIR PIRNL SAFETY.ERSONAL SAFET
RAND PAUL WENT RIGHT UP TO THE
LINE AND CALLED FOR THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER TO BE IDENTIFIED
AND SUBPOENA WHICH WAS THE
HIGHLIGHT FROM THIS RALLY THAT
THE PRESIDENT WAS HOLDING.
HE VERY MUCH LINKED HIS FATE
WITH THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY
WITH THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR
CANDIDATE IN CONNECTICUT SUCKING
THAT
THAT SUGGESTING THIS IS A WIN THE
AMERICANS DEED AND THEY DON’T
WANT TO BACK THE HEARS THAT’S
HURTING HIS PRESIDENT.
>> I THIS IS ONE MORE TIME WHERE
THEY’RE GOING OFF THE SOURCE OF
THE INFORMATION AND NOT THE
INFORMATION ITSELF.
INFORMATION ITSELF. THEY DID THE SAME WITH BILL
TAYLOR AND HIS TESTIMONY, THE
SAME WITH LIEUTENANT COLONEL
VINDMAN AND NOW WITH THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER.
WHISTLE-BLOWER. LET’S NOT TALK ABOUT WHAT HE
SAID, WHICH HAS BEEN SUPPORTED
BY TESTIMONY, LET’S TALK ABOUT
WHO HE OR SHE IS.
>> THERE’S SO MANY THINGS WRONG
WITH THAT, REVEALING A
WHISTLE-BLOWER AND BULLYING AND
THREATENING A WHISTLE-BLOWER.
WE COULD LEAVE THAT THERE, PUT
THAT ASIDE AND POINT OUT THAT
THE WHISTLE-BLOWER IS ACTUALLY
MUTE AT THAT POINT IN TERMS OF
