THE
THE PRES4@IDENT SAYS HE WILL NA A FULL TIME REPLACEMENT NEXT
WEEK.
WEEK.
WEEK. LET'S JUMP RIGHT INTO THIS WITH
OU4@R PANEL.
OU4@R PANEL. THE FOUNDER OF THE BLACK
PROGRESSIVES, AND THE BLACK
CONSERVATIVE FEDERATION.
CONSERVATIVE FEDERATION. RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, LET'S
GET INTO JOHN BOLTON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS MOVE?
I HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S
THE JUST EXAMPLE OF THE
ADMINISTRATION BEING IN CHAOS.
THEN OTHER PE4@OPLE SAID WELL
JOHN BOLTON JUST DIDN'T 4@CLICK
DIDN'T FIT IN WITH THE 4@
ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. >> THERE WAS JUST NOT THAT
CHEMISTRY THAT'S NEEDED BETWEEN
A PRESIDENT AND HIS NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISER.
SECURITY ADVISER. SO 4@I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH
WHERE IT'S 4@AT.
I MEAN LOOK AT WHERE WE HAVE
NOW IS WE CAN'T DECIDE, THERE'S
STORIES THAT JOHN BOLTON SAID
THAT HE WAS GOING TO RESIGN,
AND PRESIDEN4@T TRUMP SAYS HE
CALLED FOR IT.
RIGHT THERE, 4@THAT TENSION SAY
IT'S TIME FOR DEPARTURE.
>> IS IT DIS CONVERTING WE'LL
NOW BE 4@ON OUR FOURTH NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISER IN THREE
YEARS?
YEARS?
YEARS? >>
YEARS? >> I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF4@
YEARS? >> I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF4@@
THINGS ABOUT THIS
ADMINISTRATION THAT ARE 4@
DISCONCERTING.
DISCONCERTING. >> LET'S FOCUS ON THIS 4@ONE.
>> WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH
TERRORISTS.
TERRORISTS. SO NOTHING IN MY MIND HISTORY,
ANYTHING I CAN THINK OF MAKES
ME THINK THAT HAVING THE
TALIBAN AT CAMP DAVID MAKES
SENSE, OR IS A GOOD MOVE FOR
US.
US.
US. 4@
US. ANYTIM4@E YOU HAVE PEOPLE ON
EITHER SIDE OF THE DEFENSE
LOOKING INTO CONFLICTS WITH
KNOWN TERRORISTS AND ENEMIES OF
THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY, I
THINK THERE'S A CONVERSATION
THAT HAS TO BE HAD.
IF THAT CONVERSATION WAS HAD,
AND BOLTON WAS AGAINST IT, AND
THAT WAS SOMETHING TRUMP
WANTED, I THINK THERE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN A SPLIT.
THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL
DISAGREEMENT ON HOW WE PROTECT
OUR COUNTRY.
OUR COUNTRY. >> IT SEEMS LIKE IT CAME DOWN
TO BOLTON AND OTHERS BEING AT
ODDS QUITE FREQUENTLY AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
WHITE HOUSE. I WANT TO MOVE ON AND TALK
ABOUT SOMETHING WE'RE
DEFINITELY GOING TO BE HEARING
ABOUT.
ABOUT.
ABOUT. THE REPUBLICANS ARE MEETING
WITH THE PRESIDENT WHILE
DEMOCRATS ARE MARKING MORE GUN
BILLS AND CREATING A 4@FORUM TO
BRING MORE AWARENESS TO THE
ISSUE. 4@
ISSUE. 4@
ISSUE. 4@ >> I'D SAY THERE IS ONE WORD IT
THAT DESCRIBES MITCH
McCONNELL'S ATTITUDE ON THIS
VITAL ISSUE OF LIFE AND DEATH,
AND THAT IS DUCK.
DUCK BECAUSE HE'S SAYING LET
THE PRESIDENT DECIDE, BUT THEN
HE WAS ASKED HERE DO YOU
SUPPORT UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND
CHECKS FOR COMMERCIAL SALES,
AND HE DUCKED AGAIN.
>> WE DO IN FACT AWAIT WORD
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT WHAT
THE PRESIDENT IS WILLING TO
SIGN.
SIGN.
SIGN. >>
SIGN. >> NO ONE'S POLITICAL SURVIVAL
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE 4@
SURVIVAL OF OUR CHILDREN.
>> THE IDEA OF HAVING
BACKGROUND CHECKS ON COMMERCIAL
GUN SALES MAKES ALL THE SENSE
IN4@ THE WORLD, AND IT'S VERY
BROADLY SUPPORTED.
BROADLY SUPPORTED. >> FIRST THING'S FIRST, I THINK
WHAT THIS COMES DOWN TO IS WHAT
DOES THE PRESIDENT WANT?
HAS HE MADE HIMSELF CLEAR AS TO
WHAT HE WOULD 4@BE WILLING TO
AGREE TO ON GUNS?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. HE'S MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT HE
IS GOING TO SUPPORT WHAT4@EVER
THE NRA LOBBYISTS TELL HIM TO
SUPPORT.
SUPPORT.
SUPPORT. >> I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO
BRING THE NRA INTO WHETHER OR
NOT GUN CONTROL, OR WHETHER OR
NOT WE SHOULD STRENGTHEN OUR
BACKGROUND CHECKS.
BACKGROUND CHECKS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE NRA
IS INVOLVED IN CHICAGO.
>> YOU CAN BRING UP WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID.
>> ONE SECOND.
THE NRA IS NOT INVOLVED IN
CHICAGO.
CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY GETTING
4@SHOT EVERY DAY.
>> THESE ARE THE FACTS.
>> GUYS, LET'S STICK TO THE ONE
ISSUE WE TALK4@ING ABOUT, WHICH
IS THE PRESIDENT ON GUNS.
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER, MITCH
McCONNELL SAYS HE WANTS TO KNOW
WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL
APPROVE.
APPROVE.
APPROVE. DO WE KNOW WHAT THE PRESIDENT
WANTS WHAT HE WOULD BE WILLING
TO SIGN?
TO SIGN?
TO SIGN? >> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
PRESIDENT WANTS, BUT WHAT WE
CAN SAY IS THIS, WE CAN
STRENGTHEN OUR BACKGROUND
CHECKS.
CHECKS.
CHECKS. WE CAN STRENGTHEN THE LAWS, BUT
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
CRIMINALS DON'T DO LEGAL
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. CONGRESS CAN CREATE ANY TYPE OF
LAW THEY WANT TO CREATE, BUT
IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP THE GUY
IN CHICAGO FROM SHOOTING HIS
FRIEND, OR HIS SHOOTING HIS
FRIEND'S ENEMY, BECAUSE THERE'S
SOME TYPE OF CONFLICT.
THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM 4@IS.
THAT DECENT PEOPLE AREN'T
GETTING GUNS LEGALLY.
CHICAGO HAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST
GUN LAWS IN THE COUNTR4@Y.
>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE
TO USE CHICAGO AS A SCAPEGOAT
FOR GUN VIOLENCE.
>> THAT'S WHERE I'M FROM.
>> AND THAT'S GREAT.
AND WE'RE NO4@T GOING TO USE D.
>> AND THAT'S GREAT. AND WE'RE NO4@T GOING TO USE D.@
AS THE POSTER CHILD FOR THE
SCAPEGOAT FOR GUN VIOLENCE IN
THIS COUNTRY EITHER.
>> THERE'S ONE THING I WANT TO
SEE IF I CAN GET BOTH OF YOU TO
AGREE ON ORNOT.
WILL THE PRESIDENT SIGN
SOMETHING BEFORE THE END OF THE
YEAR THAT 4@HAS TO DO WITH GUN
@ LEGISLATION?
LEGISLATION? >> N4@O.
>> N4@O.
>> N4@O. I'M 4@VERY ADAMANT THAT
SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
IT MAY NOT BE WHAT THE
DEMOCRATS WANT.
DEMOCRATS WANT. >> 4@NO.
>> 4@NO.
>> 4@NO. >> LET'S MOVE ON TO VALERIE
PLAME.
PLAME.
PLAME. SHE IS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS.
FIRST, A SNIPPET FROM HER
POLITICAL AD.
POLITICAL AD. >> MY SERVICE WAS CUT SHORT
WHEN MY OWN GOVERNMENT BETRAYED
ME.
ME.
ME. WE
ME. WE LEFT WASHINGTON TO RAISE OUR
KIDS IN NEW MEXICO, ONE OF THE
BEST PLACES ON EARTH.
NOW 4@I'M RUNNING FOR CONGRESS
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING BACKWARDS
ON NATIONAL SECURITY, HEALTH
CARE, AND 4@WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
WE NEED TO TURN OUR COUNTRY
AROUND.
AROUND.
AROUND. AND YES, THE CIA REALLY DOES
TEACH US HOW TO DRIVE 4@LIKE
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD MY NAME.
AND MR. PRESIDENT, I'VE GOT A
FEW SCORES TO SETTLE.
>> LISTEN, FROM A MARKETING
PERSPECTIVE, AND FLASHY, A
PLUS.
PLUS.
PLUS. SHE'S GETTING THE MESSAGE
ACROSS.
ACROSS.
ACROSS. IF I LIVED IN NEW MEXICO, AM I @
GOING TO SEND SOMEBODY TO
CONGRESS WHO HAS SCORES TO
SETTLE, AND ISN'T NECESSARILY
COMING 4@OUT SAYING I'M GOING T
REPRESENT YOU?
REPRESENT YOU? >> I'M GOING TO HAVE THE FORMER
TRIPLE C CHAIRMAN, I THINK THE
PEOPLE OF 4@NEW MEXICO WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN ELECTING A
FIGHTER.
FIGHTER.
FIGHTER. AND I THINK THAT THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT SHE WILL BE ABLE
TO USE TO HER ADVANTAGE.
I DO THINK THAT THE PEOPLE OF
NEW MEXICO ARE ENJOYING HAVING
REPRESENTATION THAT LOOKS LIKE
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. BUT
THEM. BUT I THINK SHE IS GOING TO
HAVE SOME OPPOSITION IN 4@THAT
REALM.
REALM.
REALM. >>
REALM. >> I'M EXCITED TO SEE A
FRESHMAN CONGRESSMAN GET INTO 4@
THE HOUSE AND TAKE THOSE SKILLS
AG4@AINST NANCY PELOSI.
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE 4@
INTERESTING PART.
INTERESTING PART. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO SEE.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. WE'VE GOT A SEGMENT FOR ONE
LAST THING. 4@
THAT IS THE DEBATES COMING UP
ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK, WE HAVE
TEN MORE DEMOCRATS DEBATING.
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME
THAT JOE BIDEN, AND 4@ELIZABETH
WARREN ARE ON THE STAGE
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. THE EIGHT OTHERS.
DOES SOMEONE REALLY HAVE TO
STEP UP IN ORDER TO 4@STAND OUT
>> I EXPECT TO SEE FIREWORKS 4@
THIS WEEK HERE IN OUR NATION'S
CAPITAL, WE'RE CELEBRATING THE @
49th YEAR OF THE CONGRESS4@IONA
BLACK CAUCUS.
BLACK CAUCUS. SO MANY DEBATE WATCHING PARTIES
ARE GOING TO BE GOING 4@ON AROU
THE CITY.
THE CITY.
THE CITY. I EXPECT TO SEE FIREWORKS.
I THINK PEOPLE AS THE STAGE IS
SPINNING, THIS WILL BE THE
FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE NOT
HAVING TWO NIGHTS OF DEBATES,
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? I
RIGHT? I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO COME OUT SWINGING, AND
SWINGING TO WIN.
>> ARE REPUBLICANS OVER IN THE
CORNER TAKING NOTES?
THIS IS WHAT WE NE4@ED TO DO?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I
LOOK AT IS, AND I JUST TOLD 4@
SOMEONE THIS.
SOMEONE THIS. WHEN I LOOK AT THE DEMOCRAT
DEBATE, I THINK ABOUT THE 4@
REPUBLICAN DEBATES IN 2016, AND
I REALIZE WHILE WE HAVE
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BECAUSE
AMERICA IS SICK OF POLITICIANS
AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE DEBATE
STAGES, I SEE POLITICIANS,
POLITICIANS, POLITICIANS.
POLITICIANS, POLITICIANS. FOR MY 10th YEAR IN CONGRESS
I'VE DONE THIS.
MY 10th YEAR IN THE SENATE, AS
GOVERNOR I'VE DONE THIS.
BUT HAVEN'T REALLY DONE 4@
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING. I JUST WANT TO SEE SOME
RESULTS.
RESULTS.
RESULTS. I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE
ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO IT IN
2020.
2020.
2020. >>
2020. >> I DEFINITELY DON'T AGREE.
I DO THINK THAT THE 4@AMERICAN
PEOPLE THAT WANT SOMETHING
DI4@FFERENT AND WANT SOMETHING
MORE.
MORE.
MORE. THE
MORE. THE DEMOCRAT THAT IS AB4@LE TO
PROVIDE 4@THAT WILL WIN.
IF A DEMOCRAT OR PROGRESSIVE
CAN'T PROVIDE THAT,
