IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND TRUMP
HIMSELF ARE WORKING OVERTIME TO DELEGITIMIZE SPECIAL COUNSEL
MUELLER'S INVESTIGATION INTO POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
AND COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA.
TRUMP IS NOW ATTEMPTING TO DO
SOMETHING THAT IN MY OPINION IS POTENTIALLY VERY DISRUPTIVE AND
COULD LEAD TO A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF VIOLENCE.
HE IS
TRYING TO MAKE THE CASE THAT PEOPLE LIKE MUELLER AND PEOPLE
WHO ARE INVESTIGATING THIS WHOLE POTENTIAL RUSSIA DEBACLE MIGHT
BE TRYING TO RIG THE MIDTERM ELECTION.
LET ME GIVE YOU
THE DETAILS.
THERE ARE MORE TWEETS BUT I WANT TO START WITH THAT BECAUSE
THAT IS PLANTING A VERY DANGEROUS SEED IN THE MINDS OF
INCREDIBLY UNHINGED PEOPLE THAT COULD CARRY OUT ACTS OF VIOLENCE
IF THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS DO NOT PAN OUT THE WAY THAT THEY WANT.
LET'S A BREAKDOWN ALL OF THE LIES, DECEPTIONS IN JUST THAT
ONE TWEET.
AGAIN, I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT IS THE ONE
YOU
JUST MADE ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
FIRST, 13 ANGRY DEMOCRATS.
ROBERT MUELLER IS A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN.
THE PERSON WHO
APPOINTED HIM, A REPUBLICAN APPOINTED BY
DONALD TRUMP.
THE AGENTS WORKING ON THE CASE, NO ONE KNOWS IF
THEY'RE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS.
THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T
WANT TRUMP ELECTED AND THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE CASE ANYMORE.
BY THE
WAY, THEY ALSO HATED HILLARY CLINTON.
ANY PIECE OF
INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GOTTEN ABOUT ANY OF AGENTS THAT ARE
ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE CASE OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN, THE
FBI, CHRISTOPHER RAY, THE HEAD OF THE FBI, REPUBLICAN.
THEY
ARE ALL REPUBLICANS SO DO I KNOW IF ALL 13 PEOPLE ARE
REPUBLICANS?
I DON'T KNOW THAT EITHER BUT THE ONES WE KNOW ARE
ALL REPUBLICANS SO IT IS A BRAZEN USUAL DONALD TRUMP LIE,
WE HAVE JUST GOTTEN USED TO THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT IS A
COMPLETE AND UTTER LIAR AND DOES IT FOR HIS OWN PURPOSES AND WE
HAVE ALSO GOTTEN USED TO THE FACT THAT REPUBLICANS OF THIS
COUNTRY HAVE LOST THEIR MIND AND THEY DO NOT CARE THAT THEIR
PRESIDENT IS AN OBVIOUS LIAR.
BUT THEN IT GETS WORSE.
THEY
ARE GOING TO MEDDLE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
IF THEY LOSE, THE REPUBLICANS LOSE, THIS MONSTER IS GOING
TO TURN AROUND AND SAY THE DEMOCRATS FIXED IT, NOW GET
ANGRY.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THAT IS SCARY STUFF.
IT IS, THAT IS FASCISM.
THAT IS RIGHT THERE.
IT'S NOT ON THE ROAD TO
FASCISM, BECAUSE WITH THAT WORD, THEY SEIZE POWER
IN AN ELECTION, BY THE WAY, THEY DID NOT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE ON,
THIS IS FASCISM 101.
THEN THEY SINGLE OUT ALL OF THEIR
POLITICAL
OPPONENTS AND THEN THEY SAY THE GUYS WHO WERE TRYING TO BRING
RULE A LAW ARE OUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND THEY ARE THE ONES
WHO ARE CHEATING, NOT ME EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CALLING ME OUT
ON BREAKING THE LAW.
NO, I AM GOING TO FLIP IT ON THEM AND
PRETEND THEY ARE THE ONES DOING IT.
NOW ALL MY MINDLESS
FOLLOWERS WHO ARE AUTHORITARIAN BY NATURE, SIC EM.
THIS IS
LEADING DOWN A TERRIBLY DANGEROUS ROAD AND THEN AT THE
END HE SAYS THERE WAS NO COLLUSION EXCEPT BY THE
DEMOCRATS.
WHAT CHARGE OF DEMOCRAT OF COLLUSION IS THERE ON THE
DEMOCRATS' PART?
THEY MIGHT HAVE DONE 100 OTHER THINGS WRONG BUT COLLUDING
WITH THE RUSSIANS, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NOT ATTACHED TO REALITY, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BUT IT'S A
GOOD PRETENSE FOR PUTTING YOUR OPPONENTS IN JAIL.
I GET RID OF THE PEOPLE INVESTIGATING ME, I PUT
LACKEYS IN THERE AND THEN I GO AROUND AND ARREST PEOPLE.
BY THE TIME THE ARRESTS HAVE BEGUN, OFTENTIMES IT IS
ALREADY TOO LATE.
WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT THIS ISN'T A HUGE STORY.
LET ME
REITERATE, HE IS PLANTING A SEED SO PEOPLE GET INCREDIBLY ANGRY
AND RILED UP IF THE ELECTIONS DON'T WORK OUT THE WAY THAT THEY
WANTED TO, THEY ARE GOING TO THINK THAT THINGS ARE FIXED AND
THEN NO ONE IS REALLY EMPHASIZING THIS STORY BECAUSE
EVERY DAY AT THE NEWS CYCLE IS A FLOODED WITH ALL SORTS OF
TERRIFYING, CRAZY STORIES AND SO IF THERE ISN'T A LOT OF
ATTENTION ON THIS AND IF WE ARE NOT PLANNING AHEAD TO MAKE
SURE THAT THINGS DO NOT BECOME VIOLENT AND WE DO NOT MOVE
EVEN CLOSER TO A FASCIST STATE, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
I AM WORRIED THERE IS GOING TO BE IN ACTION AND BY THE TIME
PEOPLE WAKE UP, IT IS GOING TO BE TOO LATE AND I AM ALSO
CONCERNED ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE EITHER ON
A STATE LEVEL OR A FEDERAL LEVEL, WHAT IF THEY GET
TARGETED?
THIS IS NOT OKAY, THIS TYPE OF RHETORIC IS NOT OKAY.
THE MEDIA UNFORTUNATELY IS A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM
AND YOU WERE GOING TO THINK THEY CALL HIM OUT ON THIS, AND
THEY PARTLY DO AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT ACCURATE, ETC.,
BUT THEY ARE AFRAID OF OFFENDING REPUBLICAN VIEWERS AND
READERS IF THERE ARE ANY REPUBLICANS LEFT READING.
SO WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY TREATED WITH KID GLOVES BUT IN REALITY IF YOU WERE TO SAY
THE ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED BY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORS
BASED ON HOW MANY VOTING BOOTHS ARE OPEN, AND HOW MANY ARE
CLOSED, THE DNC FAVORS THE ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE SO DOES
THE RNC, LEGITIMATE FACTORS, THOSE ARE GOOD THINGS TO TALK
ABOUT.
IT IS RIGGED BY ALL THE MONEY THAT IS FLOODING INTO THE
ELECTIONS, ETC.
BUT IF YOU THINK THAT THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S
OFFICE IS GOING TO SOMEHOW RIG THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS,
YOU ARE A FLAT OUT LUNATIC.
THERE ARE NO IFS, ANDS, OR
BUTS BUT THE MEDIA WILL NEVER CALL YOU A LUNATIC BECAUSE THEY
DON'T WANT TO OFFEND 30% OF THE COUNTRY AT A MINIMUM BUT
THEY HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS, BUT THEY ARE VIEWERS AND I NEED
MONEY AND ADVERTISERS AND I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND THE
LUNATICS.
YOU HAVE TO CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE.
IF YOU THINK THE
SPECIAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE IS GOING TO SOMEHOW GET INTO THE
VOTING ROLLS AND RIG THE ELECTION, YOU ARE INSANE.
YOU
ARE CRIMINALLY STUPID AND THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THAT TO BLEED DOWN THIS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ROAD
SO IF YOU THINK THE MEDIA AS BEING TOUGH ON TRUMP, NOT
NEARLY ENOUGH.
REMEMBER AROUND ELECTION TIME, LESLIE MOONVES WHO IS
THE HEAD OF CBS SAID THAT TRUMP IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS, LOVE HIM
OR HATE HIM.
HE IS GOOD FOR RATINGS.
TRUMP, THIS
ADMINISTRATION, EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS GOOD
FOR THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO ISOLATE OR
SAY DISPARAGING THINGS ABOUT HIS SUPPORTERS BECAUSE THOSE ARE
POTENTIAL VIEWERS WHICH I FIND PRETTY DEVASTATING AND ALSO
EMBARRASSING, CONSIDERING HOW AGGRESSIVELY TRUMP ATTACKS THEM
AND CALLS THEM FAKE NEWS.
HE HAS LODGED SO MANY ATTACKS
AGAINST THEM TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF
THE COUNTRY THAT THINKS THESE ARE NOT
LEGITIMATE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, THEY FABRICATE STORIES.
FASCISM TAKES ADVANTAGE OF WEAKNESS.
I AM NOT IN THE CAMP
OF PUNCHING PEOPLE WHO YOU THINK ARE NAZIS BUT I AM IN THE CAMP
OF FIGHTING BACK POLITICALLY SUPER AGGRESSIVELY AND GOD HELP
US BECAUSE IN OPPOSITION ARE THE FECKLESS DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA
WHO LIKES TO CALL THINGS EVEN.
YOU ATTACKED US, JUST THE OTHER
DAY, A TINY THING AND I AM NOT IN THE CAMP OF MAKING A FEDERAL
CASE OUT OF THIS, BUT THE OTHER DAY TOOK A LIE THAT TRUMPED IT
AND CALLED IT AN APPARENT FALSEHOOD OR SOMETHING.
THE
POINT ISN'T THAT PARTICULAR PHRASE OR HER
REPORTING, THE POINT IS THAT THE PRESS THINKS I'M GOING TO
DO QUEENSBERRY RULES AND A FASCIST THINKS I'M GOING TO
LOCK YOU UP, YOU IDIOT, THE FASTEST IS GOING TO WIN.
THEY ARE AFRAID EVER USE THE WORD LIAR BECAUSE LIAR
MEANS THAT THERE WAS INTENT TO MISLEAD.
OF COURSE THERE IS INTENT ON.
THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THAT FAR.
WE DO NOT KNOW, DID HE INTEND TO LIE?
IT IS A LITERAL QUESTIONS EVERYONE WHO WORKS IN MEDIA, YOU
ONLY HAVE THREE OPTIONS.
YOU EITHER THINK THERE'S A
LEGITIMATE CHANCE AT THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE IS GOING TO
RIGGED THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
OPTION NUMBER TWO IS THAT IS
OBVIOUSLY UNINTENDED LIE TO ATTACK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
INVESTIGATING OR POTENTIALLY BREAKING THE LAW, SO ARE
YOU GOING TO CALL IT A LIE OR NOT?
IT IS INTENTIONAL.
YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY THINK IT ISN'T. OR THE
PRESIDENT HAS LOST HIS MIND, ABSOLUTELY, TRULY INSANE.
THOSE
A GOOD THREE OPTIONS.
ONE OF THE OPTIONS IS NOT PERHAPS HE
THOUGHT, IT WAS AROUND THE EDGES.
MAYBE THEY ARE GOING TO
INTERFERE IN JUST SOME OF THE SWING STATES BUT NOT IN ALL OF
THEM.
REALLY?
YOU KNOW THAT IS NOT LEGITIMATE, SO JUST CALL IT NOW
OTHERWISE RESIGN.
DO NOT BE IN MEDIA.
REAL QUICK THOUGH, THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD BECAUSE REMEMBER
DURING THE PRIMARIES IN THE LAST GENERAL ELECTION AND I'M TALKING
ABOUT THE PRIMARIES BETWEEN HILLARY CLINTON AND BERNIE
SANDERS WHEN THERE WERE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS THAT THE DNC
WASN'T MANIPULATING THE PRIMARIES AND BERNIE SANDERS, IN
HILLARY CLINTON'S FAVOR, HOW DID THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HANDLE
THAT?
I WAS ON A PANEL AT POLITICON AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
SUPPORTIVE OF BERNIE SANDERS BY THE WAY, AND THE DECK WAS
STACKED AGAINST ME.
THEY WERE BY PEOPLE IN THAT PANEL WHO ARE
ANTI-BERNIE SANDERS TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS
LAUGHABLE THAT THE DNC WOULD DO ANYTHING TO MANIPULATE THE
PRIMARIES IN HILLARY'S FAVOR.
WHAT ENDED UP HAPPENING LATER?
THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD.
WHEN IT COMES TO TRUMP IS
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PROGRESSIVES AND THOSE ON
THE LEFT, WE ARE ALL CRAZY, THERE IS NO WAY THAT THERE
WAS ANY MEDDLING OR MANIPULATION AND THUS PRIMARIES.
BECAUSE THEY FEAR CONSERVATIVES AND THEY HAVE
DISDAIN FOR PROGRESSIVES SO THEY DO NOT REALIZE AND IF YOU ASK
THEM, OR YOU TOLD THEM THEY WOULD BE CONFOUNDED AND EVERY
TIME WE MENTION IT THEY GET SO HURT BY IT BUT THE REALITY IS
THEY HAVE A MASSIVE BIAS AGAINST PROGRESSIVES.
THEY THINK YOU
PROGRESSIVES, YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO AMOUNT TO ANYTHING AND
YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO WIN AND SO IF YOU SAY THE DNC IS
TRIGGERING IT RIGGING IT IN FAVOR OF HILLARY CLINTON,
RIGGING THE DEBATES, COUNTING THE SUPERDELEGATES, RIDICULOUS.
IT'S HER THAT YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I NEVER ADMITTED IT, DID BRIAN
SELTZER ANYONE ELSE SAY I'M SORRY, YOU WERE RIGHT AND WE
WERE WRONG IN THE WAY THAT WE PRETENDED THAT THE DNC WAS NOT
OBVIOUSLY ON THE SIDE OF HILLARY CLINTON WHILE WE SUCKED UP THE
POWER, WE WERE WRONG.
NEVER.
BUT WHEN A CONSERVATIVE SAYS I GOT AN IDEA, I THINK
MUELLER IS GOING TO FIX THEM ELECTIONS IN THE MIDTERMS.
MAYBE, CANNOT TELL.
THIS IS WHEN YOU WONDER IF TRUMP IS INSANE OR STUPID, IT IS
A SIMPLE APPROACH.
HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO LOSE THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS RATED.
HE THINKS HE IS GOING TO
LOSE IN THE MIDTERMS, IT IS RIGGED.
HE CAN THROW IN THE
MUELLER INVESTIGATION TOO, TWO BIRDS AND ONE STONE.
HE HAS A TAGLINE,
HE CALLS, HE GIVES EVERYONE NAMES.
THE 13 ANGRY DEMOCRATS.
HE
HAS, HE THINKS IT'S A TV SHOW.
WE TALKED ABOUT HIS
CONVERSATION, I SAY FAKE NEWS SO THE PEOPLE WON'T BELIEVE YOU.
IT IS
THE SAME ROUTINE, I SAY THIS THING CONSTANTLY SO PEOPLE WON'T
BELIEVE THEM, I'M GOING TO DISCREDIT, GIVE A WEIRD TAGLINE
NAME AND SAY IT'S RIGGED.
IT IS THE SAME PLAYBOOK.
ONE OF THE TWEETS FROM ROSEANNE BARR WAS ABOUT HOW
HILLARY CLINTON LOST HER OWN RIGGED ELECTION, HA HA.
JUST
LET THAT ONE SINK IN.
YOU KNOW WHAT, LET US SINK AND WHILE WE TAKE A BREAK.
WHEN
WE COME BACK, AN INCREDIBLE STORY, AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
ABOUT HOW RIGHT-WINGERS HAVE MANIPULATED SOME ON THE LEFT TO
DO THEIR BIDDING.
