GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT AS WE GET
CLOSER TO THE ELECTION?
THEY ARE COMPLETELY, TOTALLY,
UTTERLY OUT OF CONTROL.
THEY ARE PUSHING CHANGES ON
EVERY AREA IN EVERY INSTITUTION
WHERE THEY HAVE FALLEN REALLY
SHORT, RIGHT?
THINK ABOUT THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
SOMEHOW IT'S THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE'S FAULT THAT THEY ARE
NOT IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
THE SUPREME COURT NOW.
THEY WANT TO REMAKE ALL THAT.
A LOT OF THESE FAR LEFT IDEAS.
THEY AREN'T EVEN CONSTITUTIONAL
WITHOUT MAJOR AMENDMENTS RAISING
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THESE
CANDIDATES FULLY WAS THEY ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
OR MAYBE IT'S ALL POLITICAL.
THEY ARE TRYING TO GAME YOU.
HERE WITH ME TO REACT TO ALL OF
IT.
PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN DOUG
WEAD.
I FEEL LIKE I'M IN SOME KIND OF
ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE.
RIGHT?
YOU HEAR THESE THINGS AND YOU
ARE LIKE WAIT A SECOND.
WHERE DID COMMON SENSE GO?
WHERE DID AN APPRECIATION FOR
OUR HISTORY, OUR CONSTITUTION
AND WHAT WORKED FOR 230 YEARS
GO?
>> IT'S MONO MANIA.
THEY ARE FIXATED ON THE 2016
ELECTION AND THEY BLAMED IT ON
THE VOTERS WHO ARE DEPLORABLE.
THEN THEY BLAMED IT ON THE
RUSSIANS.
IT'S NOT THE RUSSIANS, SO THEY
ARE BLAMING IT ON THE U.S.
CONSTITUTION.
TRISH: THIS IS MESSED UP.
YOU KNOW, I TALK ABOUT IT A LOT.
I GREW UP IN A LITTLE TINY
PLACE, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
THE LIVE FREE OR DIE PLACE.
WE TAKE ELECTIONS VERY
SERIOUSLY.
EVERY FOUR YEARS THE CANDIDATES
COME THROUGH.
THEY ARE ALL THERE RIGHT NOW.
MAYOR DEBLASIO WAS THERE ONLY
FOUR PEOPLE SHOWED UP AND SIX OF
THEM WERE REPORTERS.
THEY HAVE A VOICE AT THE TABLE
AND THEY HAVE THAT VOICE BECAUSE
OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
IT WOULD.
NEW HAMPSHIRE WOULDN'T MATTER.
YOU WOULD BE TALKING NEW YORK
AND CALIFORNIA.
>> WHAT'S INTERESTING IS EVEN IF
SOME OF THESE LIBERAL STATES
LIKE CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK,
THEY DON'T GET WHAT THEY WANT
FROM THE VOTERS IN THE STATEWIDE
REFERENDUMS ON EDUCATION AND
OTHER SUBJECTS.
SO THEY LOOK TO THE COURTS.
THAT'S WHAT STACKING THE COURTS
IS ALL ABOUT.
AND THEY HAVE A FEDERAL JUDGE
SAY THAT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR
THIS IS OKAY.
IF THEY CAN'T WIN AT THE BALLOT
BOX, THEY WILL WIN IN THE COURTS
AND THAT'S WHY THEY WANT TO
STACK THE SUPREME COURT SO THEY
CAN PROMOTE THEIR AGENDA BEYOND
THE ECONOMIC AGENDA,TH THEIR
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL AGENDA WHICH
THE VOTERS JUST WON'T BUY.
TRISH: I WANT YOU TO SPELL IT
OUT BECAUSE YOU SAY IT SO WELL.
>> THE DANGER IS WE LOSE THE
AMERICA THAT WE KNOW AND DON'T
EVEN GET A CHANCE TO VOTE ABOUT
IT.
IT'S TAKEN OUT OF OUR HANDS.
AND THAT'S THE GREAT DANGER.
TRISH: I CAN THINK ANOTHER
COUNTRY THAT WENT DOWN THAT
PATH.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANOTHER.
I HOPE WE DON'T GET DOWN THAT
PATH.
I HOPE CORY BOOKER DOESN'T GET
TO FIRST BASE ON THIS.
VENEZUELA DID THIS IN 1999 WITH
HUGO CHAVEZ.
HE GOT RID OF THE WHOLE
SEPARATION OF POWERS AND STACKED
THE COURT.
THE SUPREME COURT IN VENEZUELA
IS A COMPLETE JOKE.
THEY DID WHATEVER HUGO CHAVEZ
WANTED AND NOW THEY DO WHATEVER
NICOLAS MADURO WANTS.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE THAT, DOUG.
>> NO, WE DON'T.
