HAVE GONE OUT SINCE SUNDAY NIGHT
ALL THE WAY UNTIL THIS MORNING.
WANT TO BRING IN FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR JASON CHAFFETZ.
JASON, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYING WE
HAVE TO UNITE.
I THINK THAT WAS A KEY PHRASE HE
JUST SAID THERE.
I THINK IT WAS A PHRASE THAT A
LOT OF AMERICANS ARE LOOKING
FOR, PARTICULARLY AS THE
INCIVILITY CRISIS IN OUR COUNTRY
KEEPS RATCHETING UP TO LEVELS,
SEEMS LIKE IF IT DOESN'T STOP
THERE WILL BE SOME UGLY
OUTCOMES.
>> THERE HAS BEEN -- LOOK, WE'RE
IN THE MIDST OF A MIDTERM
ELECTION.
THERE IS A LOT ON THE LINE, A
LOT OF DEBATE AND DISCUSSION.
WHEN PEOPLE STEP OVER THE LINE,
INCITE VIOLENCE, WHEN PEOPLE ARE
ACTUALLY IN THE ACT OF SENDING
POTENTIAL EXPLOSIVE DEVICES,
SOME SORT OF SUSPICIOUS WHITE
POWDER, THE PRESIDENT I THINK
STRUCK THE EXACT RIGHT TONE.
IT IS NOT REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT
BUT THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, LOCAL
OFFICIALS, NYPD IS ABOUT AS GOOD
AS YOU GET.
BUT THIS DEVICE SUPPOSEDLY SENT
DOWN IN FLORIDA AS WELL AND THE
PRESIDENT STRUCK THE RIGHT TONE.
THANK GOODNESS NOTHING HAS GONE
OFF TO THIS POINT AND I THINK
THE AUTHORITIES WILL SOLVE THIS
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
CHARLES: AT WHAT POINT IS, DO WE
CROSS THE RUBICON?
WHERE DO WE SEE, IS IT OKAY, FOR
INSTANCE TO SUGGEST, TO URGE
PEOPLE, FOR INSTANCE, GO AFTER A
POLITICIAN WHO IS AT LUNCH WITH
HIS SPOUSE, HIS OR HER SPOUSE?
WE KEEP HEARING, I HEARD THAT A
LOT OVER THE WEEKEND.
I HEARD THAT THE ATTACKS ON
MITCH McCONNELL WERE OKAY,
PEOPLE FELT THEY HAD NO OTHER
WAY OF VOICING THEIR
DISPLEASURE.
THE SUGGESTION, A RESTAURANT IS
PUBLIC SPACE IS LEGAL, WITH
WHERE IT SHOULD BE DONE.
IT SCARES ME, BOTHERS ME, I
THINK ULTIMATELY IT DOES LEAD TO
SOMETHING, IT WILL LEAD TO A
PHYSICAL ALTERCATION.
IT WILL BE UGLY RESULT.
WHERE DO WE FIND THAT LINE WHERE
WE CAN VOICE OUR OPPOSITION, OUR
ANGER, NO MATTER WHAT SIDE OF
THE POLITICAL AISLE YOU'RE ON,
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS HEARD
BUT IN A WAY THAT IT DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE TRIPPING OR
TRIGGERING VIOLENCE?
>> SOMEBODY SAID TO ME A LONG
TIME AGO, YOU CAN DISAGREE, JUST
DON'T BE DISAGREEABLE.
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE GONE OVER THE
LINE TO INCITE THE ACTUAL
HARRASSMENT OF PEOPLE.
WHEN THEY'RE AWAY FROM THE JOB,
WITH THEIR FAMILIES, I THINK OF
SARAH SANDERS, AND HER FAMILY
JUST TRYING TO HAVE A NICE MEAL,
LOOK I UNDERSTAND, PEOPLE
SPONTANEOUSLY MAY BUMP INTO
OTHER PEOPLE.
I HAVE BEEN ON RECEIVING END OF
THIS.
CHARLES: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
PLANNED, ORCHESTRATED, EVEN
SPONTANEOUS OUTBURST, THEY ARE
SO VIOLENT, PEOPLE THROWING
FOOD, GETTING IN YOUR FACE, THAT
IS INTIMIDATION.
THAT IS BEYOND VOICING RIGHTS AS
CITIZEN.
>> EXACTLY.
THERE IS PERSONAL SPACE I THINK
THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD.
BUT I WORRY THAT POLITICAL
LEADERS LIKE, YOU KNOW,
REPRESENTATIVE MAXINE WATERS
HAVE BEEN OPENLY ENCOURAGING
THIS.
ERIC HOLDER SAID HEY, WE NEED TO
KICK 'EM.
THAT IS A MESSAGE THAT GOES OUT
TO PEOPLE THAT CAN'T REALLY
DISCERN RIGHT FROM WRONG.
THEY THINK IT IS OKAY, THAT THEY
WILL GET A PAT ON THE BACK.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS
NECESSARILY GOING ON WITH THESE
PACKAGES GOING ON BUT, PEOPLE
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES, STEVE SCALISE WAS
SHOT!
SO PEOPLE JUST NEED TO TAKE A
DEEP BREATH, CALM DOWN A LITTLE
BIT.
AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA IS THE
GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET.
WE HAVE DIVISIONS.
SOMEHOW WE'LL GET THROUGH IT AND
SOLVE THESE ISSUES.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS, FELLOW HUMAN
BEINGS, FELLOW AMERICANS,
SHOULDN'T DO THIS STUFF.
CHARLES: OBVIOUSLY THE PARLOR
GAME HAS BEGUN OF BLAME.
WE SEE SOME PEOPLE BLAMED
PRESIDENT TRUMP ALREADY.
EVEN COMO TALKED ABOUT HIS
RHETORIC IF YOU WILL.
IT IS INTERESTING TO ME.
IT IS NOT UNLIKE THE RUSSIANS
ATTEMPTING TO, NOT SWAY THE
ELECTION BUT JUST CREATE
DISRUPTION IN OUR COUNTRY.
THEY APOLOGIZE FOR THE LEFT AND
THE RIGHT.
THEY SIT BACK AND WATCH THE
FIGHTING.
CREW CHEF SUGGESTED THAT USSR
WOULD DEFEAT AMERICA WITHOUT
WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT.
THESE ANIMOSITIES CAN BE PRICKED
A CERTAIN WAY WHERE WE ATTACK
EACH OTHER AND DESTROY OUR OWN
COUNTRY.
>> ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD A QUOTE
LIKE THAT, ESSENTIALLY IT WILL
NOT BE A OUTSIDE FORCE OF THE
SPIRIT OF AMERICA WILL ALWAYS
PREVAIL BUT IF WE TURN ON
OURSELVES, AMONGST OURSELVES TO
THE DEGREE THAT GOES PAST THE
LINE IN THE END, EVERYBODY NEEDS
TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN.
FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLES.
YOU DON'T NEED TO GET UP IN THE
FACE OF MITCH McCONNELL OR
SARAH SANDERS OR JEFF FLAKE YOU
MIGHT RUN INTO THAT DAY.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
CHARLES: NANCY PELOSI.
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
