THE PLOT THICKENS IN THE STORY INVOLVING DONALD
TRUMP'S ATTACK ON MIKA BRZEZINSKI HIS ACCUSATIONS
THAT SHE HAD A FACELIFT AND WAS BLEEDNG AS A RESULT OF THAT.
OF COURSE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE HAVE
CRITICIZED HIM BECAUSE OF HIS CHILDISH TWEETS BUT NOW WE FIND
OUT THAT DONALD TRUMP ALLEGEDLY THREATENED TO PUBLISH OR HAVE
THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER PUBLISH A SCANDALOUS STORY ABOUT MIKA
BREZINSKI AND JOE SCARBOROUGH'S RELATIONSHIP AND APPARENTLY HAD
HIS PEOPLE CALLED JOE AND MIKA AND LET THEM KNOW IF YOU
APOLOGIZE TO THE PRESIDENT, MAYBE WE COULD DO SOMETHING TO
PREVENT THE PUBLICATION OF THIS RIDICULOUS STORY.
WE ARE
CHILDREN.
THIS IS A COUNTRY FULL OF CHILDREN.
TOP WHITE HOUSE
AIDES HAD CONTACTED HIM TO SAY THAT THEY COULD PREVENT THE
NATIONAL INQUIRER FROM PUBLISHING A NEGATIVE ARE GOOD
ARTICLE ABOUT THAT THEY CALL THE PRESIDENT, APOLOGIZE FOR
CRITICIZING HIM ON THERE SO AND ASKED FOR HIS FORGIVENESS.
JOB
COMPLETELY DENIES THAT.
HE SAYS, THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
IN
FACT, IT IS THE REVERSE.
JOE CONTACTED HIM AND URGED HIM TO
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
OF COURSE, THERE IS ONE PERSON WHO CONSISTENTLY LIES NOT JUST
ABOUT THIS BUT ABOUT EVERYTHING, SO I AM PERSONALLY MORE INCLINED
TO JUST BELIEVE NIKA AND JOE BUT LET'S HEAR FROM THEM.
HERE THEY ARE RESPONDING TO THIS WHOLE CONTROVERSY ON MSNBC.
THE CALLS KEPT COMING AND KEPT COMING AND THEY WERE LIKE,
CALL.
YOU NEED TO CALL.
PLEASE CALL.
COME ON JOE, JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HIM.
IT'S QUITE MELT THE.
LET ME FLING WITH A WERE THREATENING.
THEY WERE CALLING MY CHILDREN.
THEY WERE CALLING).
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
THEY WERE PENDING THE STORY ON MY EX-HUSBAND WHO ABSOLUTELY
NEVER DO THAT SO I KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT WAS A LIE AND
THAT THEY HAD NOTHING.
THESE CALLS PERSISTED FOR QUITE SOME
TIME AND THEN JOE HAD THE CONVERSATIONS HE HAD WITH
THE WHITE HOUSE WITH A SET OH, THIS COULD GO AWAY.
I AM TELLING CENK UYGUR, DON'T JUMP IN JUST GET.
HAVE
ONE MORE THING I WANT TO READ TO GUESS BEFORE YOU COMMENT THAT
DONALD TRUMP TWEETED IN RESPONSE TO THAT AND SAID, WATCHED LOW
RATED MORNING JOE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIMEÖ FAKE NEWS.
HE CALLED ME TO STOP AND NATIONAL ENQUIRER ARTICLE.
I
SAID NO.
BAD SHOW.
HIS TWEETS AND ALWAYS NOW THAT HE IS PUNISHING A JOB ñ A
DOG.
WHICH IS NEVER HAD ONE.
BAD TEETH, CENK UYGUR.
BAT SEGMENT ARE.
GEE, I WONDER WHO IS ON THE TRUTH I CAN'T QUITE TELL.
I
THINK THERE IS QUESTION TO ONE SIDE OF THE STORY.
I DONíT THINK THERE'S
A QUESTION ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
TO ME THE?
IS, AND I'M NOT SURE IT IS
THAT IMPORTANT BUT MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW BUT NOW ALL
THE SUDDEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BLACKMAIL LEGAL CHARGES AND ALL
OF THAT, NATIONAL ENQUIRER IS COMING AFTER MIKA AND JOE
TO PUSH THE STORY.
WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?
THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP TRUMP.
TRUMP HAS PLANTED 1000
STORIES AT NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
IT IS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.
THEYíRE CLEAR ALLIES.
I WONDER WHO PLANTED THAT STORY ABOUT TED CRUZ SLEEPING WITH
FIVE DIFFERENT WOMEN WHILE THEY WERE HAVING A PRIMARY FIGHT.
I CAN'T QUITE FIGURE IT OUT THE.
WITH ANYONE EVEN BELIEVE THAT STORY?
FIVE DIFFERENT WOMEN ARE SLEEPING WITH HIM?
REALLY?
ANYWAY.
WITH POLITICIANS YOU DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE TWO SLEPT WITH TED CRUZ AND TWO SLEPT WITH DAVE
RICKETTS, THE OWNER OF THE CUBS.
TOM.
LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE TED CRUZ.
THEY WERE JUST CONFUSED ABOUT
IT.
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT TRUMP NOW WAS VERY PISSED AND BY THE WAY,
APPARENTLY FEELS PERSONALLY BETRAYED BY JOE SCARBOROUGH AND
MIKA BREZINSKI BECAUSE THEY USED TO BE SO TIGHT.
NOW THEY KIND
OF TURNED ON THEM IN THE STATES OF THE WAY BACK TO MARCH
COMMENTS ON MARCH, THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED
TO TALK ABOUT THE RUMORS OF THOSE TWO HAD CHEATED ON THEIR
SPOUSES TOGETHER AND NOW OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GETTING
MARRIED, SO WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW IF AT THAT POINT JOE SCARBOROUGH REACHES OUT
TO SOMEBODY AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND GOES COME ON GUYS, WHAT
IS GOING ON HERE?
CUT IT OUT, THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
OR IF THE WHITE HOUSE REACHED OUT TO HIM HE GOES KNOW,
JOE, WE COULD MAKE THIS GO AWAY IF YOU GET BACK IN LINE.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS.
BOTH THINGS COULD'VE HAPPENED THAT JOE COULD'VE REACH OUT
AND THEY COULD'VE COME BACK AND SAID IF YOU APOLOGIZE, WE
WILL DO WITH THE.
KNOW, THAT PART I AM SURE ABOUT.
THE WHOLE IDEA THAT THEY DIDN'T ASK HIM TO APOLOGIZE TO THE
PRESIDENT PERSONALLY AND CHANGE WHAT HE SAID, I AM NOT
HAVING THAT CONVERSATION.
WHOEVER STARTED IT, THE WHITE HOUSE ASKED FOR THAT.
OF COURSE THEY DID.
EVER ASKED FOR IT, IT'S A LITTLE IRRELEVANT.
TO ME ANYWAY.
I DON'T THINK IT REALLY MATTERS.
I THINK IT DOES AND IíLL TELL YOU WHY.
IF THE WHITE HOUSE
WAS GOING TO PLANT THE STORY WITH THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER AND
THEN GOES TO TELL THOSE GUYS, WE COULD MAKE IT GO AWAY THEN IT
GOES A LITTLE MORE LIKE BLACKMAIL.
IF THE INQUIRER IS
GOING TO DO THE STORY JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE ATTACKING THE
PEOPLE THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T LIKE AND THEN JOE ASKS CAN
YOU MAKE THAT GO AWAY, THAT IS NOT BLACKMAIL.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
YES, BUT I ONLY THINK IT'S MARGINALLY, SMALL DEGREE OF
DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER IS DOING THE STORY AND
THEY ARE DOING AS YOU SUGGEST BECAUSE IT IS GOOD FOR TRUMP
BECAUSE JOE AND ME GET TURNED ON HIM.
THEY SHOULD'VE TURNED ON
HIM IN THE BEGINNING BUT WHATEVER, THEY HAVE TURNED ON
THEM, GOD BLESS THEM NOW.
THEY KNOW HE WILL REACH OUT.
THEN
THEY JUST PLAYED THE GAME SLIGHTLY MORE SKILLFULLY DINED
AGAIN, THE MOMENT THEY SAY IF YOU APOLOGIZE WE CAN MAKE THIS
GO AWAY THEN IT IS HIDEOUS.
IT IS ALREADY HIDEOUS, IT BECAME
HIDEOUS WHEN WE ELECTED A PRESIDENT WHO IS CLOSE TO AND
CONNECTED TO DAVID PECKER, THE PUBLISHER OF THE NATIONAL
ENQUIRER.
THAT IS AN OUTRAGE.
IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN BEING IN CAHOOTS AND CLOSE TO AN
HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOU PLANT STORIES IN
THE WORLD WEEKLY NEWS WHICH RUN STORIES ABOUT HEADLESS
ALIENS TAKING OVER TOLEDO.
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE ARE, BEN, BECAUSE HE ALSO HAS A GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH ALEX JONES WHO BELIEVES THAT ALIENS HAVE
TAKEN OVER AND ROLL THE WORLD.
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AS A COUNTRY.
OUR PRESIDENT IS A MANIAC WHO BELIEVES THOSE THINGS AND
WORKS FOR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THOSE THINGS.
DAVID PACKARD ALEX JONES, I HOPE, WITH THE WE THAT YOU
PULL THAT UNRAVELS HIM POLITICALLY, THIS IS THE
NUMBER SO LOW THAT ENOUGH REPUBLICANS ABANDON SHIP?
THESE ARE SOME OLD STATS.
TRUST ME, CHARLES GRASSLEY FROM IOWA,
RIGHT?
HE DOESN'T THINK THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE TALKING
TO THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
CHARLES GRASSLEY BILLS ABOUT THE
NATIONAL ENQUIRER THE SAME WAY WE DO MAYBE ONE OF THE
THREE THINGS HE AND AS AGREE ON.
IN REGARD TO THE QUESTION YOU JUST ASKED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
KIND OF WEED THEY NEED TO PULL DOWN UNRAVELS THE PRESIDENT MAKE
REPUBLICANS, AND SPECIFICALLY THINKING OF THE ELECTORATE,
ABANDON HIM.
IT IS NOTHING LIKE THIS.
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU GUYS, THIS IS CONSIDERED A BIG STORY RIGHT
NOW.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, AFTER THIS VIDEO WILL GET A LOT
OF CLICKS.
IT'S NONSENSE.
OKAY ABOUT THEIR AFFAIR, THEIR
MARRIAGE, THEIR IMPENDING MARRIAGE, THE ONLY THING THAT IS
IMPORTANT TO ME IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF OUR
PRESIDENT BLACKMAILING PEOPLE FOR COVERING HIM IN A NEGATIVE
WAY.
THAT IS THE ONLY PART OF THE STORY THAT I THINK IS
RELEVANT, BUT ALL THE OTHER STUFF, HIS ELECTORATE OR HIS
VOTERS DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FACT
THAT HE INSULTS WOMEN.
HE'S BEEN DOING IT SINCE DAY ONE AND
HE HAS BEEN TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT THAT IN FACT I THINK SOME OF
THEM HAVE VOTED FOR HIM AS A RESULT AS OF THE WAY HE TREATS
WOMEN.
I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD CONVINCE SOME OF HIS
VOTERS AT LEAST TO ABANDON HIM IS IF YOU FOCUS ON THE ACTUAL
POLICIES AND HOW MUCH IT HURTS THEM.
HOW MUCH THE REPLACEMENT
PLAN BOTH IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE FOR THE AFFORDABLE CARE
ACT WITH ACTUALLY HURT THOSE WORLD AMERICANS IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE COUNTRY WHO ENDED UP VOTING FOR HIM.
HE REALLY DOESN'T HAVE
A JOBS PLAN.
HOW HE HIMSELF IS VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF
OUTSOURCING AND USING FOREIGN LABOR.
HOW HE HAS ACTUALLY WENT
OUT AND TRIED TO GET VISAS FOR FOREIGN WORKERS TO COME INTO
THIS COUNTRY AND WORK FOR HIS COMPANIES.
THOSE OF THE THINGS I THINK DEMOCRATS SPECIFICALLY NEED
TO FOCUS ON, IF THEY GENUINELY CARE ABOUT DEBATING HIM.
ALL THIS NONSENSE, IT IS GOSSIP.
IT'S CHEESY, IT'S TRASHY.
IT'S SUPER FRUSTRATING.
I COULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT ANY BETTER.
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
THE ONLY THING THAT I WILL ADD TO IT IS JUST TO ENHANCE THE
POINT THAT THE IDEA OF THE PRESIDENT BLACKMAILING, I DON'T
KNOW IF IT MEETS THE LEGAL TERMS OF HER BLACKMAILING, BUT THAT
TYPE OF BLACKMAILING TO COERCE REPORTERS TO RUNNING STORIES OR
TO CEASE CRITICIZING HIM AND THEN DAMAGING THEM PUBLICLY, I
GUESS THAT IS JUST BLACKMAIL.
THAT IS THE ONLY THING IN THIS
THAT MAKES A WERE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK IT IS A BIG DEAL IN
PART OF A PATTERN OF HIS ATTACKS ON THE PRESS BUT THE REST OF IT,
TOTALLY.
WE HAVE A DUAL RESPONSIBILITY, I AM CURIOUS
ABOUT WHAT CENK UYGUR THINKS BECAUSE WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY, THIS IS A NONSENSE STORY YOU COULD ARGUE
WE SHOULDN'T COVER BUT THERE IS TRUTH IN IT.
THE TRUTH IS THIS
IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID.
THIS IS WHAT HE THINKS IS IMPORTANT.
THIS IS THE THING, THE NONSENSICAL THING HE SAID ABOUT
MIKA.
WE ALSO HAVE THAT SECONDARY RESPONSIBILITY WHICH
IS DO WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER STORIES THAT WILL MAKE
A DIFFERENCE?
THAT WILL MAYBE INFLUENCE THAT 3% OF
TRUMPETERS THAT WILL TURN INTO 5
MILLION?
I THINK WE HAVE TO WAIT THAT ON A DAILY BASIS.
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU GUYS, WE DO WAY DOWN A DAILY BASIS AND
THAT IS WHY THE SHOW IS HEAVY ON POLICY AND I DON'T COVER THOSE
STORIES SIMPLY TO CONVINCE HIS VOTERS TO SWITCH OVER.
WE COVER
THEM BECAUSE THEY IMPACT EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN REGARDLESS OF YOUR
ECONOMIC BACKGROUND THIS OR REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR
IDEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND IS AND SO, HE IS PATHETIC.
ANY NEWS
ORGANIZATION THAT CRITICIZES HIM HIS IMMEDIATELY FAKE NEWS THAT
DOESN'T EVERYONE THINK IT STRANGE THAT HE DOESN'T
CALL MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS THAT LOVE HIM FAKE NEWS?
THOUGH.
THAT'S ANOTHER IS WHY THE STORY IS RELEVANT.
OF
COURSE NO ONE SHOULD CARE WHAT MIKA AND JOE ARE DOING IN THEIR
PERSONAL LIVES.
THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.
BUT THE
PRESIDENT DOES, AND HE USES IT AS A POLITICAL TACTIC.
I THINK
AGAIN GOING BACK TO WHO CALLED WHO, I DO THINK IT'S RELEVANT
BECAUSE I THINK IT IS SLEAZY, HARDBALL POLITICS AND THE OTHER
IS BLACKMAIL.
THERE'S A SUPER IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN
THE 2.
HE IS PLAYING DIRTY POOL.
I'M NOT SURPRISED BY THAT
AND I'M NOT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE IT SHOCKS MY
CONSCIOUS.
I GET IT.
WHAT I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT IS HIS
MENTAL INSTABILITY AND HE IS, SO THESE GUYS, JOE SCARBOROUGH AND
MIKA PRESENT SKI ACTUALLY KNOW A LOT BETTER THAN WE DO.
ONE OF
THE DISPUTES IN THE STORY IS DID HE INVITE THEM TOMORROW LAGO OR
DID THEY INVITE THEMSELVES QUESTO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE
DETAILS TRUMP IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.
THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
IF YOU WATCH THE YOUNG TURK'S, YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH DISDAIN I HAVE FOR JOE SCARBOROUGH.
I DON'T HAVE A DOG
IN THIS FIGHT THAT I DON'T CARE.
I DISLIKE THEM BOTH A LOT.
BUT
EVERY ONE OF THOSE DIFFERENT DETAILS, SCARBOROUGH AND
BREZINSKI SEEM TO HAVE A MORE CREDIBLE STORY.
IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO.
THAN DONALD TRUMP SIDE OF THE STORY, RIGHT?
THEY EXPLAIN
IN GREAT DETAIL.
NOW THEY ARE SAYING WHAT, WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT
HIS MENTAL CONDITION.
REMEMBER ROGER STONE WAS THE FIRST GUY
WHO TO DRAW THE THING ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S AND IT SEEMED LIKE A
WEIRD THING TO KIND OF THROW OUT OF NOWHERE.
NOW, IN MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS THEY SAID HE HAS A FRAGILE CHILDLIKE EGO AND IT
IS INTERESTING WHEN PEOPLE'S MENTAL CONDITIONS ARE SOMETIMES
DETERIORATING, THEY BECOME MORE CHILDLIKE.
THEY SAY HE IS NOT
MENTALLY CLIPPED TO WATCH THE SHOW WILL RUN THE COUNTRY.
THOSE ARE INSULTS BACK AT THEM, RIGHT?
BUT AT THE VERY END
OF THEIR WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL, THEY SAID WE ARE
WORRIED ABOUT HOW HE HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST VIEW YEARS.
SOME
ARE SAYING WAIT A MINUTE, HE WAS ALWAYS A DOUCHE.
HE DID THE
CENTRAL PART FIVE WHICH IS SO INEXCUSABLE LET ALONE BIRTHER IS
HIM.
HE WAS ALWAYS A MEAN-SPIRITED REALLY BAD GUY,
WHEN YOU, JOE, LOVED HIM AND YOU WERE GREAT BUDDIES WITH HIM.
I
HAVE NO LOVE FOR JOE SCARBOROUGH.
BUT WHEN
THEY SAY LOOK, HE'S CHANGED, I THINK THERE IS SOME CREDIBILITY
TO THAT I DO WANT TO PLAY POP PSYCHOLOGY TOO MUCH BUT NO
MATTER WHAT, EITHER HE WAS ALWAYS LIKE THIS OR HE
DETERIORATED OF THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
HE IS LITERALLY NOT
MIDDLE MENTALLY STABLE ENOUGH TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
IF YOU PICK A FIGHT LIKE THIS ANY SENSIBLE PERSON WOULD
BLOW UP ON YOU POLITICALLY, WHO CARES ABOUT MORNING JOE AND
BEGOT?
YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
BY WOULD YOU PICK A FIGHT WITH A COUPLE OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT
QUESTO BUT WHAT IF HE DOES THAT WITH KIM JONG-IL AND?
AND THEN MILLIONS OF LIVES ON THE LINE.
I THINK WE RUN THE RISK OF MINIMIZING, WE ARE EASILY
MINIMIZED IF WE START SPECULATING ABOUT WHAT MENTAL
ILLNESS WE THINK HE HAS HER DIAGNOSIS, BECAUSE WE DON'T
KNOW.
I NOW AM VERY CLOSE, MY MOM HAS ALZHEIMER'S.
WE DON'T
KNOW.
THE POINT ABSTRACTLY IS THIS GUY BY ANY REASONABLE
STANDARDS DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE MENTAL CAPACITY, THE
EMOTIONAL CAPACITY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
THAT IS DIFFERENTÖ OBSERVATION ANYBODY CAN MAKE THAT WE'RE NOT
SAYING IT'S A DISEASE, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT.
MOST OF
THE COUNTRY DOESN'T HAVE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHATEVER IT IS.
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE NOT CLOSE TO BEING FIT TO BEING
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE DECISION-MAKING IS TO TYPICAL AND COMPLEX AND
THEY SHOULDN'T DO IT.
HE IS AN ACCURATE.
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT HE
HAS A MENTAL ILLNESS AND I AM NONEXPERT TO BE ABLE TO COMMENT
ON THAT BUT I DO KNOW THAT HE IS UNABLE TO HANDLE EVEN THE
SMALLEST CRITICISM AND IF HE REACTS THIS WAY, AND THAT'S THE
BEST POINT.
IF YOU REACT THIS WAY THE PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA, HOW IS HE GOING
TO REACT TO WORLD LEADERS WHO HE MIGHT FIND INSULTS HIM OR HURT
HIS FEELINGS?
YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THICKER SKIN THAN THAT.
IF SOMEONE CRITICIZES THE SIZE OF YOUR HANDS AND THIS
LEADS TO THIS RIDICULOUS WAR THAT IT TELLS ME SOMETHING
ABOUT HOW YOU ARE GOING TO REACT ON A LARGER SCALE AND THAT
IS WHAT CONCERNS ME.
SO WE WILL SEE.
WE HAVE JOFFREY AS PRESIDENT.
WE DO.
