NOW TRUMP WAS TALKING TO THE LEADER OF THE PHILIPPINES, THAT
IS DUTERTE, AND HE'S GOT A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRACK RECORD
IN VIGILANTE JUSTICE, THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE KILLED
IN HIS SO-CALLED WAR ON DRUGS, LET ALONE THE OTHER ATROCIOUS
THINGS HE SAID, BUT NOW WE HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT OF THEIR CALL.
THIS ONE NOT LEAKED IN THE U.S., BUTT BY THE PHILIPPINES, AND
IT'S NOT PRETTY IF YOU ARE A RATIONAL HUMAN BEING, PROBABLY
TRUMP IS PROUD OF IT.
BUT TRUMP CALLS DUTERTE AND TELLS HIM --
>>OKAY.
FIRST OF ALL, I CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT HE SOUNDS
LIKE A CHILD IN EVERYTHING A CONVERSATION.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM,
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB, AND
UNBELIEVABLE JOB, A WONDERFUL JOB.
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF
JOB HE'S DOING.
HUFFINGTON POST EXPLAINS --
>>BY THE WAY, TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT INTO THAT, ROUGHLY HALF
ARE KILLED BY POLICE.
IT'S NOT BROUGHT TO JUSTICE, BROUGHT TO
JAIL, AND THEN GOING THROUGH A TRIAL AND EXECUTED FOR HORRIBLE
CRIMES OR GIANT DRUG DEALS -- NO, THEY SHOOT THE MINISTRY,
SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD AND KILL THEM, SEND THEM AWAY.
AND HALF
ARE KILLED BY VIGILANTES.
HE HAS UNLEASHED THESE LAWLESS
VIGILANTES THROUGHOUT THE PHILIPPINES TO MURDER PEOPLE WHO
MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT BE DRUG DEALERS OR USERS.
OR MAYBE JUST
THEIR ENEMIES IN A TURF WAR.
THEY ARE VIGILANTES, NO ONE IS
KEEPING TRACK.
THAT IS WHAT DONALD TRUMP THINKS IS A
WONDERFUL JOB IN THE WAR ON DRUGS.
HE JUST WANTED TO CALL
AND TELL HIM THAT YOU ARE MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS,
I LOVE IT.
AND HE DOES, BECAUSE HE'S AUTHORITARIAN.
TRUMP NEVER
BELIEVED IN AMERICAN PRINCIPLES, HE BELIEVES IN A STRONG MAN WHO
SHOULD GET TO FIRE ANYONE HE WANTS AND NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE
LAW, AND BEFORE HE HAS TALKED ABOUT HOW IF THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO WE THINK ARE TERRORISTS WE SHOULD KILL THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS.
THAT THE KIND OF GUY TRUMP IS.
THIS QUOTE WAS
CONFIRMED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES AND NOT DENIED
BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
SO THIS CALL HAPPENED, AND THESE QUOTES
APPEAR TO BE ACCURATE.
I LIKE THIS PORTION OF THE STORY --
THEY SAY THAT WHEN HE SAID THAT, OF COURSE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE
LISTENING ON THE AMERICAN SIDE, NOT FORCED BY REASONS BUT
BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING NOTES ON OUR RELATIONSHIP, THEY WORK FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE, THEY WORK FOR DONALD TRUMP, BUT THEY WERE,
QUOTE --
>>HOW CAN YOU BE SURPRISED BY ANYTHING THIS GUY SAYS?
WE HAVE
A CALL WITH THE LEADER OF THE PHILIPPINES, WE HAVE TO BE A
LITTLE BIT CAREFUL, AND TRUMP IS LIKE YOU ARE DOING GREAT, YOU
ARE KILLING THESE PEOPLE IN THE STREETS -- JESUS, HERE WE GO
AGAIN.
THAT'S NOT IN YOUR NOTES, NOBODY WROTE THAT IN YOUR NOTES.
BUT THAT'S DONALD TRUMP.
AND YOU TRUMP VOTERS, HE TELLS IT LIKE
IT IS, HE LIKES TO MURDER PEOPLE IN THE STREETS -- REMEMBER WHAT
HE SAID I COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND MY SUPPORTERS
WOULDN'T BLINK?
I HOPE THAT WAS A METAPHOR.
I HOPE.
NOW BACK TO
THE HUFFINGTON POST ON HOW BAD DUTERTE'S REIGN
HAS BEEN --
>>NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING DRUGS -- PEOPLE WHO ARE USING
DRUGS.
HE MADE A HITLER COMPARISON POSITIVELY TO
HIMSELF.
HE SAID I WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE HITLER.
OH, YOU'RE DOING
A WONDERFUL JOB, GREAT JOB.
AND THE STAFFERS ARE LIKE, COME ON,
MAN.
THE GUY SAID HE WANTS TO BE LIKE HITLER, GREAT JOB ON TRYING
TO BE LIKE HITLER.
DOES HE REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S
DOING, THOUGH?
TRUMP ALSO SAID ON THE CALL --
>>DUTERTE HAD CALLED OBAMA A SON OF A BITCH BECAUSE OBAMA
ACTUALLY THOUGHT MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T MURDER PEOPLE IN THE
STREETS.
AND APPARENTLY DONALD TRUMP UNDERSTANDS THAT, BECAUSE
HE TOLD US EIGHT TIMES IN A ROW RIGHT THERE.
AND TELLING HIM,
DON'T WORRY, OBAMA IS GONE, A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN, I SAY
MURDER PEOPLE IN THE STREETS, AMERICA NO LONGER CARES ABOUT
HUMAN RIGHTS.
MICHAEL COLLINS, DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR DRUG POLICY
ALLIANCE, SAYS --
>>HEY, LIBERTARIANS WHO VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP, HOW ARE YOU
FEELING NOW?
YEAH, HE'S GOING TO BE GREAT.
DON'T WORRY, HE'S A
REASONABLE GUY, HE'S NOT LIKE THE REPUBLICANS.
WAR ON DRUGS?
JEFF SESSIONS IS ON A WARPATH, HE HAS JUST INCREASED THE WAR ON
DRUGS SUBSTANTIALLY.
HE SAYS HE MIGHT EVEN GO INTO THE STATES
THAT HAVE LEGALIZED IT ANYWAY.
NOW YOU HAVE THE PRESIDENT
CALLING PEOPLE WHO ARE MASSACRING EVEN DRUG USERS AND
CONGRATULATING THEM.
GOOD JOB, LIBERTARIANS.
WELL PLAYED.
ONE
LAST THING NOT HAVING TO DO WITH THE WAR ON DRUGS, TRUMP ONCE
AGAIN COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISCUSSIONS
STARTED TELLING THEM WHERE OUR MILITARY IS AND WHAT THEY ARE
HEADED TO DO.
WHY ARE YOU TELLING THE LEADER OF ANOTHER
COUNTRY WHERE OUR SHIPS ARE?
WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?
HE SAID
ON THE CALL --
>>REFERRING TO KIM JONG-UN, A
NAME HE OF COURSE IS NOT
FAMILIAR WITH.
HE REFERS TO THEM AS THIS GENTLEMAN, BECAUSE HE
DOESN'T KNOW THE NAME AT ALL.
I THINK OTHER FOREIGN LEADERS KNOW
WE HAVE THE BEST SUBMARINES IN THE WORLD, IT'S NOT NEWS TO
THEM.
BUT HE'S LIKE A CHILD, SOMEONE DESCRIBED THE SUBMARINES
TO HIM, HE'S LIKE, I WILL TELL YOU HOW GOOD THEY ARE, I'VE
NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
OF COURSE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE OUR NUCLEAR SUBMARINES.
WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU
SEE THEM?
CHILD, THROUGH AND THROUGH.
SO WHEN HE SEES
DUTERTE, HE SEES A ROLE MODEL.
