WE HAVE MIKE BARNACLE, JOHN HEILMAN, HIGHLYEIDI PRISBELLA AN
EUGENE SCOTT.
EUGENE SCOTT. WELCOME TO YOU ALL.
WILLIE, YESTERDAY WAS
INCREDIBLE.
INCREDIBLE. CHUCK AND NANCY, I’M ALWAYS A
FAN OF NANCY, BUT IT WAS A GOOD
DAY FOR CHUCK AND NANCY.
>> QUITE A SHOW.
AND MORE THAN JUST LURID
ENTERTAINMENT, IT WAS A
SITUATIONING THAT ACTUALLY
SITUATION THAT ACTUALLY UNFOLDED
FOR REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE.
THE SENATE. >> AND YOU COULD TELL THAT BY
THE WAY THEY REACTED TO WHAT
THEY SAW AS THE PRESIDENT SAID I
WILL OWN THIS SHUTDOWN.
IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THE TRUMP
SHUTDOWN, IT WILL BE THE TRUMP
SHUTDOWN IF WE HAVE IT.
YOU HAD NANCY PELOSI COMING OUT
AND SAYING TO THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, YOU DON’T
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP INVITED NEWS
CAMERAS INTO A MEETING WITH
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS NANCY PELOSI
AND CHUCK SCHUMER YESTERDAY
ESCALATING A NEGOTIATION
OVERBOARDER SECURITY AND WALL
FUNDING.
FUNDING. SCHUMER OPENLY MOCKED THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> IF I NEEDED THE VOTES FOR THE
WALL IN THE HOUSE, I WOULD HAVE
THEM IN ONE SESSION, WE WOULD BE
DONE.
DONE. >> DO IT.
>> DO IT. >> IT DOESN’T HELP BECAUSE WE
NEED TEN DEMOCRATS IN THE
SENATE.
SENATE. >> DON’T PUT IT ON THE SENATE.
PUT IT ON THE NEGOTIATION.
>> IT DOESN’T HELP FOR ME TO
TAKE A VOTE IN THE HOUSE WHERE I
WILL WIN EASILY WITH THE
REPUBLICANS --
REPUBLICANS -- >> YOU WILL NOT WIN.
LET ME JUST SAY ONE THING.
THE FACT IS, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE
VOTES IN THE HOUSE.
>> NANCY, WE DO AND WE NEED
BORDER SECURITY.
BORDER SECURITY. >> FIND OUT.
>> IT’S VERY IMPORTANT.
>> THIS HAS SPIRALED DOWNWARD.
WHEN WE HAVE CAME AT A PLACE TO
SAY HOW DO WE MEET THE NEEDS OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NEEDS.
NEEDS. THE ECONOMY HAS -- PEOPLE ARE
LOSING THEIR JOBS, THE MARKET IS
IN A MOOD.
OUR MEMBERS ARE ALREADY --
>> WELL, WE HAVE THE LOWEST
UNEMPLOYMENT THAT WE’VE HAD IN
50 YEARS.
50 YEARS. >> PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY HAVE LOST -- ARE LOSING
THEIR OFFICES NOW BECAUSE OF THE
TRANSITION.
TRANSITION. PEOPLE ARE NOT --
>> AND GAINED IN THE SENATE.
NANCY, WE’VE GAINED IN THE
SENATE.
SENATE. EXCUSE ME, DID WE WIN THE
SENATE?
SENATE? WE WON THE SENATE.
>> WHEN THE PRESIDENT BRAGS THAT
HE WON NORTH DAKOTA AND INDIANA,
HE’S IN REAL TROUBLE.
20 TIMES YOU WERE CALLED FOR, I
WILL SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IF
I DON’T GET MY WALL.
>> I’LL TAKE IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I’LL SAY?
YES, IF WE DON’T GET WHAT WE
WANT, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER,
WHETHER IT’S THROUGH YOU,
THROUGH MILITARY, THROUGH
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO CALL, I
WILL SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT,
ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY. >> FAIR ENOUGH.
WE DISAGREE.
WE DISAGREE. >> AND I AM PROUD TO SHUT DOWN
THE GOVERNMENT FOR BORDER
SECURITY, CHUCK, BECAUSE THE
PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY DON’T
WANT CRIMINALS AND PEOPLE THAT
HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS AND DRUGS
POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY.
SO I WILL TAKE THE MANTLE.
I WILL BE THE ONE TO SHUT IT
DOWN.
DOWN. I’M NOT GOING TO BLAME YOU FOR
IT.
IT. >> JOE, THERE’S NO TURNING BACK
FROM THAT ONE, IS THERE?
HE DUG IN PRETTY DEEP AND CHUCK
SCHUMER NODDING AND GETTING WHAT
HE WANTED.
HE WANTED. >> HE WAS FANTASTIC.
>> THE EXPRESSION TAKING CANDY
FROM A BABY COMES TO MIND.
IT WAS REALLY -- IT WAS ALL TOO
EASY, WASN’T IT?
DONALD TRUMP EVEN WALKED INTO
SCHUMER’S LINE WHERE THE
PRESIDENT WAS BRAGGING ABOUT
WINNING NORTH DAKOTA AND
BRAGGING ABOUT WINNING INDIANA.
THIS IS TERRIBLE FOR THE
PRESIDENT FOR MANY REASONS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN DONALD
TRUMP’S LIFE THAT HE’S HAD
PEOPLE TALKING BACK TO HIM THAT
PEOPLE HAD HAD POLITICAL SKILLS
AND KNEW HOW TO TRAP HIM.
YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE DEBATES
AND HE WOULD RUN OVER PEOPLE
LIKE MARCO RUBIO, HE WOULD RUN
OVER RAND PAUL, THE OTHER 16
PEOPLE WHO WERE COMPLETELY
HAPLESS IN RESPONDING TO THIS.
THESE TWO PEOPLE KNOW DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE HE CONTRIBUTED TO ALL OF
THEIR CAMPAIGNS IN THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
AND THEY’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER AS
DEMOCRATS A LOT LONGER THAN
THEY’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER AS
DONALD TRUMP BEING A REPUBLICAN.
BUT, WILLIE, ON CAPITOL HILL,
YOU COULD ALMOST HEAR THE
SCREAMS FROM THE REPUBLICAN
CLOAK ROOM AS DONALD TRUMP
BASICALLY GAVE EVERYTHING AWAY,
GAVE THE HIGH GROUND AWAY TO THE
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. WHERE DO THEY GO NOW?
>> I THINK THE PRESIDENT
PROBABLY THOUGHT I’M GOING TO
DISPLAY ONCE AGAIN HOW SERIOUS I
AM TO GETTING THAT BORDER WALL.
I KNOW IT WAS A CAMPAIGN
PROMISE.
PROMISE. I’M SO SERIOUS ABOUT THIS THAT I
AM WILLING TO TAKE THE SHUTDOWN
ON.
ON. MAYBE HE PLEASED THAT SEGMENT OF
HIS SUPPORTERS.
HIS SUPPORTERS. BUT IN DOING SO, OBVIOUSLY HE
HAS TAKEN COMPLETE OTHERWNERSHIP
ANY SHUTDOWN.
ANY SHUTDOWN. IT WAS RIGHT THERE FOR EVERYONE
TO SEE.
TO SEE. >> TWO KEY ELEMENTS.
ONE IS HE THINKS HE’S A GREAT
NEGOTIATOR AND HE THINKS HE CAN
BEAT ANYONE ON TELEVISION.
SO HE BASICALLY SURPRISES THEM
AND SAYS, HEY, WE’RE GOING TO
HAVE THIS NEGOTIATION IN PUBLIC
ON CAMERA WHERE SCHUMER AND
PELOSI, IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM,
THEY KEEP TRYING TO SHUT IT DOWN
AND SAY, LET’S GO HAVE THIS IN
PRIVATE.
PRIVATE. BUT TRUMP IS A HORRIBLE
NEGOTIATOR AND HE’S NOT AS GOOD
ON TELEVISION AS HE THINKS.
SO HE GETS BEATEN IN HIS OWN
GAME.
GAME. EARLY IN THE DISCUSSION, YOU
HEAR PELOSI DROP THE TRUMP
SHUTDOWN INTO THE DISCUSSION.
BY THE END OF THE DISCUSSION, HE
HAS NOT ONLY ACCEPTED THE TRUMP
SHUTDOWN, BUT HAS EMBRACED IT
WITH VICTIMM AND VIGOR.
IT REMINDED ME OF "A FEW GOOD
MEN."
MEN." BAITING COLONEL JESUP ON THE
STAND TO WHERE TRUMP IS
BASICALLY SAYING YOU’RE RIGHT I
ORDERED THE CAN CODE RED.
YEAH, I WANT THE SHUTDOWN, I’LL
TAKE THE SHUTDOWN, IT WILL BE MY
SHUTDOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
IT’S LIKE BRING IN THE MARSHALS
AND LEAD HIM OUT IN HANDCUFFS.
>> THERE’S SO MUCH CONTAINED IN
THAT 17 MINUTES OF TAPE THAT
HOPEFULLY EVERYONE IN AMERICA
SAW INCLUDING VICE PRESIDENT
PENCE IN THE CORNER.
BUT FOR ONCE, FOR THE FIRST
TIME, I THINK, DO ALL THE
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WHO
HAVE GONE IN FRONT OF CAMERAS TO
SPEAK ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, NANCY
PELOSI ONE-ON-ONE TAKES HIM
DOWN, FACE-TO-FACE, NOSE TO
NOSE, TAKES HIM DOWN.
THE OTHER ASPECT THAT’S
INTERESTING ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT’S PERSONALITY AND HIS
VIEWS, HIS AUTOMATIC FALL BACK
POSITION ON NEARLY EVERYTHING
WHEN HE’S IN TROUBLE, WHEN HE
THINKS THE CROWD IS NOT PAYING
ATTENTION OR THE CROWD IS
LIFELESS, WHERE DOES HE GO?
HE GOES TO THE BORDER WALL.
HE GOES TO RAPISTS, HE GOES TO
DISEASES, HE GOES TO FEAR.
THAT’S HIS ONLY FALL BACK
POSITION.
POSITION. >> AND, YOU KNOW, EUGENE SCOTT,
AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN THAT ROOM AND YOU
HEARD WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS,
CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI
COULDN’T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER.
PELOSI GOES ON TO SAY THE BORDER
WALL IS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S
MANHOOD.
MANHOOD. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THE DEMOCRATS WENT INTO THAT
MEIG WITH A MANDATE.
THEY WON THE HOUSE AND THEY WON
THE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY TOLD
VOTERS THEY WOULD PUSH BACK ON
THE MOST PROBLEMATIC IDEAS
COMING OUT OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION
ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. THEY FACT CHECKED DONALD TRUMP
IN REALTIME IN HIS FACE IN A WAY
THAT HE HASN’T EXPERIENCED FROM
PEOPLE WITHIN HIS OWN TRIBE.
A BIG CHALLENGE FOR THE
PRESIDENT IS THAT HE DOESN’T
SEEM TO REALIZE THAT HE DOESN’T
HAVE THE POPULARITY, EVEN WITH
HIS BASE IN DECEMBER 2018 THAT
HE DID BEFORE THE MIDTERM
ELECTIONS.
ELECTIONS. MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR
TRUMP, WHO WERE SUPPORTIVE OF
TRUMP, SHOULD I SAY, BEFORE THE
MIDTERMS STILL ARE NOT.
SO HE’S TRYING TO LET THEM KNOW
THAT HE STILL HAS THEIR BACK,
HE’S STILL GOING TO BUILD THIS
WALL THAT HE PROMISED THEM ON
THE CAMPAIGN.
THE CAMPAIGN. THAT’S WHEN WE SAW SCHUMER AND
PELOSI COMPLETELY REMIND HIM
THAT THE FACTS ON WHICH HE MADE
THIS PROMISE ISN’T TRUE.
>> I KNOW IT’S COMMON KNOWLEDGE,
HEIDI, BUT DONALD TRUMP IS
LIVING IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY,
AN ALTERNATE POLITICAL UNIVERSE.
YOU COULD GO BACK TO RIGHT AFTER
DONALD TRUMP GOT ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND ONLY ONE IN THREE AMERICANS
SUPPORTED BUILDING THE THE WALL.
PROBABLY LESS THAN ONE IN THREE
AMERICANS SUPPORT BUILDING THE
WALL MOW THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER $1
TRILLION IN DEBT PILED HIGH ON
US.
US. YOU LOOK AT THE DRUBBING DONALD
TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS TOOK THIS
PAST ELECTION BECAUSE OF THIS
SORT OF RHETORIC, THIS SORT OF
BEHAVIOR.
BEHAVIOR. SPEAKING OF A FEW GOOD MEN, I’M
SURE REPUBLICANS ARE CALLING FOR
A CODE RED RIGHT NOW, WHATEVER
THAT MEANS, ON CAPITOL HILL
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO KNOW.
THE ONES WITH HALF A BRAIN HAVE
TO KNOW THAT THIS IS LEADING
STRAIGHT TO A CLIFF THAT ABOUT
30 OR 40 OF THEIR FELLOW
REPUBLICANS WERE PUSHED OVER
POLITICALLY JUST A MONTH AGO.
>> THEY’VE REALLY JAMMED IT --
OR HE’S REALLY JAMMED THE
REPUBLICANS, JOE, BECAUSE THE
SOURCES I TALKED TO LAST NIGHT
SAID THAT WE ARE CLOSER THAN
EVER TO A SHUTDOWN THAT COULD
ACTUALLY LAST INTO THE NEW
CONGRESS.
CONGRESS. HE’S REALLY NOT LEFT THEM ANY
NEGOTIATING OPTIONS HERE.
THEY’RE SO FAR APART.
BUT I THINK WHAT WE SAW
YESTERDAY IS THAT, LIKE YOU
SAID, HE’S BEEN LIVING IN THIS
ALTERNATIVE REALITY.
ALTERNATIVE REALITY. GUESS WHAT?
GUESS WHAT? THERE’S A NEW REALITY SHOW IN
TOWN AND HE’S NO LONGER THE
PRODUCER/DIRECTOR WHO IS PLAYING
TO THE CAMERAS.
THERE’S A WHOLE NEW CAST OF
CHARACTERS, INCLUDING A WOMAN IN
THE ROOM WHO IS GOING TO WIELD
HER POWER A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
LAST NIGHT AS THEY ALL PLAYED
OUT, MANSY PELOSI COMES BACK TO
THE HILL, EQUATES TRUMP’S
MANHOOD TO THE WALL AND YET
WITHIN MOMENTS, HE WAS CALLING
HER AND SHE SAID THAT THE
NEGOTIATION WAS, QUOTE/UNQUOTE
CONSTRUCTIVE.
CONSTRUCTIVE. SO THIS IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT
CAST OF CHARACTERS HERE WHO ARE
GOING TO GO INTO THE OVAL OFFICE
AND THEY’RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW
HIM TO BE IN THAT ALTERNATE
REALITY.
REALITY. THEY’RE GOING TO FACT CHECK HIM
WHEN HE SAYS, FOR INSTANCE, HE
HAS BUILT THE WALL.
THAT’S NOT TRUE AND THEY’RE
GOING TO CALL HIM OUT ON IT.
>> JOHN HEILMAN, I DON’T WANT TO
BEAT A DEAD HORSE, BUT IT’S
THERE AND IT’S BEEN THERE FOR
TWO YEARS.
TWO YEARS. LET’S TALK ABOUT IT BEN.
I’VE REPEATED ON THIS SHOW
SDPIEM TIME
SDPIEM TIME AND AGAIN THAT DONALD TRUMP
SPEAKS TO 33% OF AMERICANS, A
HARD CORE 33% OF AMERICANS.
>> YES, SIR.
>> YESTERDAY IN THAT MUELLER KRN
POLL WE SEE THAT 33% IS DOWN TO
29% AGREE WITH WHAT HE AND RUDY
HAVE BEEN DOING, ATTACKING A WAR
HERO LIKE ROBERT MUELLER.
AND I HATE TO KEEP ASKING THIS
QUESTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
BUT WHEN ARE REPUBLICANS, NOT
ONLY ON CAPITOL HILL, BUT IN
STATE CAPITALS ACROSS AMERICA
GOING TO FINALLY UNDERSTAND THAT
DONALD TRUMP BEING A 40%
PRESIDENT OR A 33% PRESIDENT WAS
ALWAYS GOING TO LEAD TO THEM
GETTING DESTROYED IN THE OFF
YEAR ELECTIONS WHICH WE SAID AND
IS ONLY GOING TO LEAD TO THEM
BEING DESTROYED IN 2020?
THE PARTY IS BEING DISMANTLED
BIT BY BIT.
CAN YOU NAME A REPUBLICAN IN
AMERICA WITH ANY AUTHORITY THAT
UNDERSTANDS THAT?
UNDERSTANDS THAT? >> IT’S HARD TO SAY, JOE.
I’D SAY, AMAZINGLY, WE’VE SEEN
OF THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE
OF DAYS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
MUELLER PROBE, IN THE CONTEXT OF
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT WHERE WE
TALK ABOUT THERE’S BEEN A
REALITY TORNADO THAT’S COME
THROUGH THE WHITE HOUSE AND
PEOPLE FINALLY RECOGNIZE HOW
MUCH TROUBLE TRUMP MIGHT BE IN,
YOU STILL SEE PEOPLE LIKE ORRIN
HATCH, THE LEADERS OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY SAYING, WELL,
MAYBE HE’S BEEN IMPLICATED IN A
CRIME IN THE SOUTHERN SDRIKTZ,
MAYBE HE’S COMPLICIT IN A
FELONY, MAYBE HE’S AN UNINDICTED
COCONSPIRATORS, BUT CAMPAIGN
FINANCE LAWS AREN’T REALLY A BIG
DEAL.
DEAL. THERE’S STILL A STATE OF DENIAL
ON CAPITOL HILL ABOUT THE DEPTH
OF THE PROBLEM, ABOUT THE
POLITICAL REALITY, ABOUT HOW
RECEIVE THE LOSS WAS THIS
NOVEMBER, ABOUT WHAT IT PORTENDS
FOR TWO YEARS FROM NOW ABOUT THE
MOUNTING TROUBLE HE FACES.
ALL I CAN COME BACK TO EVERY
TIME WHEN WE HAVE THIS
DISCUSSION IS THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY WAS BANKRUPT ENOUGH
INTELLECTUALLY THAT DONALD TRUMP
WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT OVER IN
2016.
2016. THAT WAS THE CONDITION OF THE
PARTY.
PARTY. IF THERE WAS NOT A BANKRUPTCY
INTELLECTUALLY AND POLITICALLY
ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THERE
WOULD BE NO DONALD TRUMP.
SO NOW THAT DONALD TRUMP, HE’S
THE HEAD OF AN INTELLECTUALLY
BANKRUPT PARTY AND HE’S BEHAVING
AS SUCH.
AS SUCH. EVENTUALLY, MATH WILL CATCH UP
TO HILL.
TO HILL. AT SOME POINT, EVEN THOSE
BANKRUPT WILL LOOK UP AND SAY,
HEY, THIS IS TOO HORRIBLE FOR US
AND WE’RE GOING TO EVENTUALLY
LOSE AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO
ABANDON HIM.
ABANDON HIM. BUT I DON’T KNOW WHEN THAT DAY
COMES.
COMES. I THINK IT WILL COME, BUT I
DON’T KNOW WHEN.
>> IT HAS TO BE NOW.
>> YOU WONDER WHEN, WILLIE,
BECAUSE THEY HAD THE WORST LOSS
SINCE WATERGATE, THEY LOST
SEATS, GOVERNORSHIPS ACROSS
AMERICA.
AMERICA. I MEAN, IT JUST -- THINGS WENT
SO BADLY AND, YOU KNOW, JOHN
BRINGS UP A GREAT POINT.
WE DESCRIBED ROBERT MUELLER’S
HISTORY AS A MARINE.
WE DON’T HAVE TO DESCRIBE HIS
HISTORY AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER.
OFFICER. IT’S BEYOND REPROACH.
HE GUIDED US IN THOSE TERRIBLE
DAYS AFTER 9/11 AS FBI DIRECTOR
WITH GREAT DISTINCTION.
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE REPUBLICANS --
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE REPUBLICANS
WHO SPENDER THEIR DAYS TRASHING
AN AMERICAN HERO LIKE ROBERT
MUELLER AND DEFENDING A GUY --
AND KEVIN McCARTHY’S DEFENSE IS,
SURE, IT’S A FELONY, WE’RE NOT
GOING -- I MEAN, COME ON, IT’S
JUST A FELONY.
>> AND FOR WHAT, EXACTLY?
THEY’RE PROTECTING WHOM, A GUY
THAT IS GOING TO HELP THEM OUT
SOME DAY, A GUY WHO WOULD
PROTECT THEM IF THEY WERE UP
AGAINST IT?
AGAINST IT? OF COURSE NOT.
THE ONLY TIME WE’VE SEEN
REPUBLICANS STEP UP AND CROSS
THE PRESIDENT IS IN THE CASE OF
JAMAL KHASHOGGI.
JAMAL KHASHOGGI. WE’VE HEARD THEM COME OUT AGAIN
AND AGAIN AND THEY’RE STILL
COMING OUT.
COMING OUT. AND THE PRESIDENT IN AN
INTERVIEW WITH REUTERS SAID, I
STILL SUPPORT MSB.
I’M STILL BEHIND MBS.
BUT TO YOUR POINT, JOE, THAT’S
THE ONLY PLACE WE’VE REALLY SEEN
REPUBLICANS COME OUT AND THEY
WILL NOT COME OUT AND PROTECT
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
FOR WHATEVER REASON AND WE’VE
ASKED A MILLION TIMES, THE
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SAYS THE
PRESIDENT IS NOT GOING TO FIRE.
HE’S NOT GOING TO TAKE STEPS TO
FIRE BOB MUELLER.
WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
LEGISLATION.
LEGISLATION. THAT BE FUNDAMENTALELS US, IT BE
FUNDAMENTALELS A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE THEY GO
THE CONFIDENCE FOR THAT.
I CAN’T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY DON’T
CROSS HIM MORE THAN THEY DO
EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF OF A
WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST.
>> IF YOU HAD SAID THE
REPUBLICANS WOULD BASICALLY GIVE
MURDERERS IN SAUDI ARABIA THE GO
AHEAD, WOULD RUN UP A RECORD
FEDERAL DEBT, RUN UP A TRILLION
DOLLARS EXTRA IN DEFICITS, THEY
WOULD SAY NO, NO, THAT DOESN’T
SOUND LIKE A REPUBLICAN, THAT
DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A
CONSERVATIVE.
CONSERVATIVE. THAT’S A RADICAL.
THAT’S WHO IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
RIGHT NOW AND THAT’S WHO THE
REPUBLICAN RANK AND FILE MEMBERS
ARE SUPPORTING RIGHT NOW.
>> IF IT ISN’T PAINFULLY OBVIOUS
THE TO REPUBLICANS NOW, GOD HELP
US.
US. STILL AHEAD, WE’LL TALK TO THE
REUTERS REPORTER WHO SAT DOWN
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP YESTERDAY
IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
JEFF MASON JOINS THE
