ENOUGH PEOPLE DEMAND IT STOP. WELCOME ALL.
WELCOME ALL. EUGENE, IF I STOP THERE, WE CAN
SAY THIS IS RUDY GUILIANI BEING
RUDY GUILIANI, BUT THE SAME
DEFENSE DENY, DOWNPLAY WHEN IT
COMES TO FIRING COMEY.
LET ME PUT UP EXAMPLES HERE.
THE DAY IT HAND THE
INVESTIGATION IS NOT WHAT IT WAS
ABOUT.
ABOUT. DONALD TRUMP ON MAY 12th, WHEN I
DECIDED TO DO IT, I SAID TO
MYSELF THIS RUSSIA THING WITH
TRUMP AND RUSSIA IS A MADE-UP
STORY.
STORY. A PRESIDENT CAN FIRE AN FBI
DIRECTOR AT ANY TIME FOR ANY
REASON.
REASON. THE POINT IS THIS IS A PATTERN.
>> IT CERTAINLY S. IT’S NOT
DOING THE PRESIDENT ANY FAVORS
AT ALL.
AT ALL. AT LEAST AT THE VERY LEAST IT’S
CERTAINLY BRINGING IN RUDY
GUILIANI’S LEGACY INTO QUESTION
AS WE’VE SEEN SOMEONE WHO AT
LEAST MADE HEADLINES OR PRAISED
ON BEING TOUGH ON LAW, AMONG
MORE CONSERVATIVE POLITICOS.
TURN TO SOMEONE WHO SEEMS TO
DISMISS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES
ALTOGETHER WHEN IT INVOLVES
SOMEONE HE IS PERSONALLY
CONNECTED TO.
CONNECTED TO. IT’S VERY PROBLEM MAT NICK THIS
SITUATION.
SITUATION. THERE CAN BE REAL IMPLICATIONS
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND
THOSE WHO RELY ON THE PRESIDENT
TO SERVE CITIZEN’S BEST INTEREST
WHEN IT COMES TO NATIONAL
SECURITY.
SECURITY. >> I DON’T UNDERSTAND, LIKE I
SAID, THE TRUMP TOWER MEETING.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED THERE.
THE STORY COMES OUT JULY 8th,
DONALD TRUMP, JR., SAYS WE
PRIMARILY DISCUSSED A PROGRAM
ABOUT THE ADOPTION OF RUSSIAN
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN. FIVE DAYS LATER, IT’S CALLED
OPPOSITION RESEARCH.
OPPOSITION RESEARCH. IT’S VERY STANDARD WHERE THEY
HAVE INFORMATION, YOU TAKE THE
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. JULY 30th, COLLUSION IS NOT A
CRIME.
CRIME. >> WE GO BACK FURTHER IN TIME TO
SOME OF THOSE ARTICLES IN THE
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS AND NEW YORK
POST AND NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
>> I GOT MORE, I GOT HUSH MONEY.
IT’S THE SAME PATTERN.
WHEN DOES IT STOP?
>> PROBABLY NEVER.
BUT HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE,
THOUGH, STARTING IN JANUARY,
DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE CONTROL OF
THE HOUSE AND THEY’RE GOING TO
BE IN CHARGE OF THOSE
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES AND
THEY WILL HAVE SUBPOENA POWER.
EVEN IF THAT DOESN’T REACH THE
PRESIDENT, HIMSELF, IT WILL
START GETTING AT KIND OF THE
PEOPLE IN THE PRESIDENT’S ORBIT
AND THEY WILL BE HELD TO A
HIGHER STANDARD FOR TRUTH AND
VERACITY THAN SAY THE PRESIDENT
HAS BEEN OR HIS LAWYER IN THE
NATIONAL MEDIA.
NATIONAL MEDIA. >> I GOT THE PUSH MONEY PAYMENT
EXAMPLE.
EXAMPLE. I’LL BE DARNOLD IF I WILL GET
THESE EXAMPLES ON AIR.
THAT ONE TOOK ALMOST TWO YEARS. >> TO UNRAVEL.
>> THEY AT LEAST CAN EXHIBIT
THAT AFLOAT A WHILE.
>> FROM THE PRESIDENT ON DOWN
THE FIRST INSTINCT IS TO LIE TO
NOT TELL THE TRUTH PRESENT THEM
WITH AN INCONVENIENT FACT OR
ALLEGATION AND THEN YOU JUST
START TO PEEL THE ONION AND THE
LAYERS THAT YOU LAID OUT UNTIL
YOU GET TO THE TRUTH.
AND FOR ME, THE TOUCHSTONE IS,
IF WE KNEW DURING THE CAMPAIGN
WHAT WE KNOW HOW ABOUT ALL THE
THINGS YOU’VE UNSPOILED ABOUT
THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS
NEGOTIATING TO BUILD A TOWER IN
MOSCOW WHEN HE WAS RUNNING,
ABOUT THE TRUMP TOWER MEETING,
ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS,
WHERE WOULD WE BE?
WOULD HE BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
I THINK THAT’S A SERIOUS
QUESTION AND YOU HAVE BEEN
ASKING THE NEXT SERIOUS
QUESTION.
QUESTION. WHEN WILL IT BE ENOUGH?
MAYBE THE ANSWER IS IN THE NEXT
ELECTION.
ELECTION. >> DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN ON
POLICY?
POLICY? WE PUT TOGETHER, IT WAS A LITTLE
OUT OF ORDER, DECRY, DENY, WHEN
IT CAME TO CHILD SEPARATION.
THEN THAT HAPPENED.
AGAIN, I KNOW IT’S INSTINCTUAL. IT GOES TO WHAT RUTH JUST SAID,
BUT I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, YOU
HAVE ABOUT 55% OF THE COUNTRY
THAT’S WORN OUT FROM THIS.
HAVE YOU 40-TO-45% THAT IT
DOESN’T BOTHER THEM.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS HIS BASE.
THESE SUPPORTERS.
THESE SUPPORTERS. >> THAT’S THE ONLY THING HE’S
MINDFUL OF.
MINDFUL OF. >> VERY MUCH SO.
USUALLY WE SEE PRESIDENTS START
TO THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO
WEREN’T SUPPORTIVE OF THEM.
>> YOU WANT TO GROW.
>> PROPRIETARY.
>> PROPRIETARY. >> THAT’S CRAZY.
>> IT’S THE NEW PEOPLE ON THE
TRUMP TRAIN.
TRUMP TRAIN. RIGHT?
RIGHT? THAT’S NOT SOMETHING HE’S SEEN.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT’S BEEN
FASCINATING AND DISHEARTENING
HOW HE’S HANDLED THIS RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION, HE HAS BEEN
MINDFUL OF HIS BASE, KNOWING
THEY WILL SUPPORT HIM
REGARDLESS.
REGARDLESS. THE BASE IS NOT AS LARGE AS IF
2016.
2016. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR
TRUMP AND TRUMP-LIKE CHARACTERS,
CANDIDATES SHOULD I SAY, IN 2016
