RUSH TRANSCRIPT vigorous way ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ Let s bring in ░░░░░░░░ director of New York ░░░░░░░░ and Jonathan and Republican ░░░░░░░░ columnist shermichael Jonathan what ░░░░░░░░ you take away from ░░░░░░░░ interview Well it s ░░░░░░░░ wonderful when you watch ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ lying So he says ░░░░░░░░ m upbeat It s ░░░░░░░░ well oiled machine here ░░░░░░░░ the White House I ░░░░░░░░ nothing to hide I ░░░░░░░░ t done anything wrong ░░░░░░░░ he s really saying ░░░░░░░░ according to a lot ░░░░░░░░ reporting he called it ░░░░░░░░ news a but a ░░░░░░░░ of reporting what he ░░░░░░░░ saying saying in truth ░░░░░░░░ m in a lot ░░░░░░░░ trouble I m freaking ░░░░░░░░ The wheels are coming ░░░░░░░░ with things here at ░░░░░░░░ White House And hey ░░░░░░░░ ve got a lot ░░░░░░░░ hide and I m ░░░░░░░░ about it So you ░░░░░░░░ to kind of know ░░░░░░░░ he s a liar ░░░░░░░░ s told more than ░░░░░░░░ 000 lies already in ░░░░░░░░ presidency You watch that ░░░░░░░░ that lens What about ░░░░░░░░ what stood out to ░░░░░░░░ A few things that ░░░░░░░░ out When you talked ░░░░░░░░ Matt Whittaker not knowing ░░░░░░░░ previous comments on the ░░░░░░░░ investigation or the Mueller ░░░░░░░░ to me that points ░░░░░░░░ a huge problem As ░░░░░░░░ that worked for three ░░░░░░░░ candidates I worked for ░░░░░░░░ Carson your objective as ░░░░░░░░ aid an operative is ░░░░░░░░ insulate the principal from ░░░░░░░░ political damage The folks ░░░░░░░░ him are not doing ░░░░░░░░ I understand the president ░░░░░░░░ to give these interviews ░░░░░░░░ when you think about ░░░░░░░░ magnitude of what s ░░░░░░░░ stake here for him ░░░░░░░░ and what s around ░░░░░░░░ he should not give ░░░░░░░░ until this is over ░░░░░░░░ s why you have ░░░░░░░░ on cable news talking ░░░░░░░░ defending the White House ░░░░░░░░ his behalf I think ░░░░░░░░ lot of mistakes are ░░░░░░░░ made here I question ░░░░░░░░ folks running that political ░░░░░░░░ in the white they ░░░░░░░░ to do a better ░░░░░░░░ at protecting their principal ░░░░░░░░ right now they re ░░░░░░░░ What did you consider ░░░░░░░░ most telling part of ░░░░░░░░ interview To go back ░░░░░░░░ Jonathan s point one ░░░░░░░░ that stood out to ░░░░░░░░ is the president seems ░░░░░░░░ to the extent that ░░░░░░░░ could ever be but ░░░░░░░░ does seem to be ░░░░░░░░ little shook Mike Pence ░░░░░░░░ Obama and Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ one thing in common ░░░░░░░░ enough and that s ░░░░░░░░ of their endorsed candidates ░░░░░░░░ in the midterms than ░░░░░░░░ Trump s I think ░░░░░░░░ his mind clearly he ░░░░░░░░ this personally Clearly he ░░░░░░░░ going to lash out ░░░░░░░░ his staff He s ░░░░░░░░ to lash out I ░░░░░░░░ to the public You ░░░░░░░░ seen how he s ░░░░░░░░ back the question about ░░░░░░░░ caravan and immigration because ░░░░░░░░ s trying to cling ░░░░░░░░ something that he thinks ░░░░░░░░ work to get to ░░░░░░░░ of resonate with his ░░░░░░░░ So the concern now ░░░░░░░░ and this is something ░░░░░░░░ ve been saying quite ░░░░░░░░ is that while we ░░░░░░░░ some great victories on ░░░░░░░░ midterms for the midterms ░░░░░░░░ just be mindful about ░░░░░░░░ tenuous this coalition may ░░░░░░░░ and that Democrats need ░░░░░░░░ sort of stand fast ░░░░░░░░ and be firm because ░░░░░░░░ is the Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ seems injured He seems ░░░░░░░░ he s going to ░░░░░░░░ push back perhaps harder ░░░░░░░░ he ever has That ░░░░░░░░ why we need to ░░░░░░░░ hold the line And ░░░░░░░░ should say the president ░░░░░░░░ just put out a ░░░░░░░░ about the caravan and ░░░░░░░░ the officials in Tijuana ░░░░░░░░ feeling overwhelmed and potentially ░░░░░░░░ six months those that ░░░░░░░░ Tijuana you know staying ░░░░░░░░ for for a while ░░░░░░░░ I want your thoughts ░░░░░░░░ much as I want ░░░░░░░░ guys thoughts I should ░░░░░░░░ started with you Ladies ░░░░░░░░ I m out numbered ░░░░░░░░ s really rich for ░░░░░░░░ president to be saying ░░░░░░░░ White House is running ░░░░░░░░ a well oiled machine ░░░░░░░░ m not a mechanic ░░░░░░░░ I know that no ░░░░░░░░ oil machine leaks a ░░░░░░░░ the pace this White ░░░░░░░░ does Four to five ░░░░░░░░ member shake UPS He ░░░░░░░░ doing anything he can ░░░░░░░░ switch up the strategy ░░░░░░░░ the other guests mentioned ░░░░░░░░ see what can stick ░░░░░░░░ think there was one ░░░░░░░░ in this interview that ░░░░░░░░ out for me is ░░░░░░░░ he owned up to ░░░░░░░░ doing enough for Veterans ░░░░░░░░ That made me so ░░░░░░░░ He really should have ░░░░░░░░ there at Arlington national ░░░░░░░░ The down part there ░░░░░░░░ always a downside It ░░░░░░░░ he thought calls were ░░░░░░░░ important I was on ░░░░░░░░ calls You can now ░░░░░░░░ from cars We can ░░░░░░░░ that now President Trump ░░░░░░░░ s just a really ░░░░░░░░ moment if you ask ░░░░░░░░ He s acting like ░░░░░░░░ school child Grading himself ░░░░░░░░ can any school child ░░░░░░░░ America they will give ░░░░░░░░ a pluses It s ░░░░░░░░ rich I want all ░░░░░░░░ you to think about ░░░░░░░░ grade that you would ░░░░░░░░ the president based on ░░░░░░░░ interview in just a ░░░░░░░░ I want to go ░░░░░░░░ something and this is ░░░░░░░░ to be a little ░░░░░░░░ and a little dicy ░░░░░░░░ talk about There s ░░░░░░░░ tweets that s been ░░░░░░░░ One is from the ░░░░░░░░ and one is from ░░░░░░░░ Schiff This is the ░░░░░░░░ that was posted by ░░░░░░░░ president a short while ░░░░░░░░ Clearly he s criticizing ░░░░░░░░ congressman He used let ░░░░░░░░ say a misspelling there ░░░░░░░░ I m not going ░░░░░░░░ read that on TV ░░░░░░░░ Adam Schiff the two ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ word would be f ░░░░░░░░ Can we put up ░░░░░░░░ Schiff s response to ░░░░░░░░ president I read that ░░░░░░░░ Wow Mr President that ░░░░░░░░ a good one Was ░░░░░░░░ like your answers to ░░░░░░░░ Mueller s questions or ░░░░░░░░ you write this one ░░░░░░░░ I have to say ░░░░░░░░ was pretty clever for ░░░░░░░░ to do that Just ░░░░░░░░ this whole thing Look ░░░░░░░░ president realizes he s ░░░░░░░░ a wall What I ░░░░░░░░ concerned about is if ░░░░░░░░ increases I think you ░░░░░░░░ see the president act ░░░░░░░░ even more I don ░░░░░░░░ think that s a ░░░░░░░░ good thing for Republicans ░░░░░░░░ not only did we ░░░░░░░░ perform well in the ░░░░░░░░ you also keep in ░░░░░░░░ we did not perform ░░░░░░░░ across the country as ░░░░░░░░ relates to statewide elections ░░░░░░░░ won over 330 plus ░░░░░░░░ held seats Democrats will ░░░░░░░░ 27 attorney general seat ░░░░░░░░ is mean they can ░░░░░░░░ lawsuits if they work ░░░░░░░░ against this administration When ░░░░░░░░ think across the board ░░░░░░░░ the different variables that ░░░░░░░░ hurt the president you ░░░░░░░░ see him acting out ░░░░░░░░ that be acting out ░░░░░░░░ this tweet about little ░░░░░░░░ Schiff and misspelling You ░░░░░░░░ to love the response ░░░░░░░░ quick It was a ░░░░░░░░ response The main thing ░░░░░░░░ the president of the ░░░░░░░░ States is once again ░░░░░░░░ like an 11 year ░░░░░░░░ boy Kind of a ░░░░░░░░ bully on the playground ░░░░░░░░ dumb jokes who nobody ░░░░░░░░ even inside his own ░░░░░░░░ even though they have ░░░░░░░░ pretend to We ve ░░░░░░░░ two years to put ░░░░░░░░ with this The question ░░░░░░░░ the rest of us ░░░░░░░░ how do we respond ░░░░░░░░ him Not what does ░░░░░░░░ do because we know ░░░░░░░░ he s going to ░░░░░░░░ It s how do ░░░░░░░░ respond to him That ░░░░░░░░ the character test that ░░░░░░░░ only everybody in Congress ░░░░░░░░ every American faces Do ░░░░░░░░ believe he s an ░░░░░░░░ plus president or an ░░░░░░░░ president Evidence is pretty ░░░░░░░░ that an a plus ░░░░░░░░ even a D plus ░░░░░░░░ doesn t make that ░░░░░░░░ of idiotic joke by ░░░░░░░░ That s not what ░░░░░░░░ are supposed to do ░░░░░░░░ you understand that you ░░░░░░░░ failed the character test ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ the character test if ░░░░░░░░ don t get that ░░░░░░░░ four of you on ░░░░░░░░ panel right now is ░░░░░░░░ agreement in terms of ░░░░░░░░ test here that Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ bringing up You have ░░░░░░░░ Democrats and two Republicans ░░░░░░░░ Is the president failing ░░░░░░░░ character test I m ░░░░░░░░ to go to the ░░░░░░░░ Republicans He failed the ░░░░░░░░ he came down the ░░░░░░░░ escalator if you to ░░░░░░░░ day it boggles my ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans Christians and ░░░░░░░░ support him at the ░░░░░░░░ they do I always ░░░░░░░░ about the woman sitting ░░░░░░░░ Idaho and the core ░░░░░░░░ is what does government ░░░░░░░░ for me What is ░░░░░░░░ president doing that affects ░░░░░░░░ every day If the ░░░░░░░░ is doing all right ░░░░░░░░ still have confidence and ░░░░░░░░ that s going all ░░░░░░░░ and with no large ░░░░░░░░ terror event something that ░░░░░░░░ been held back They ░░░░░░░░ t care what he ░░░░░░░░ You re saying that ░░░░░░░░ out weighing character there ░░░░░░░░ to you on this ░░░░░░░░ quick I want to ░░░░░░░░ a sound bite I ░░░░░░░░ I agree he failed ░░░░░░░░ long time ago They ░░░░░░░░ to do far better ░░░░░░░░ at holding this president ░░░░░░░░ Here s the deal ░░░░░░░░ have time to get ░░░░░░░░ grade What grade I ░░░░░░░░ him an F because ░░░░░░░░ s failed every test ░░░░░░░░ I think has been ░░░░░░░░ to him and going ░░░░░░░░ to Jonathan s point ░░░░░░░░ asks like a child ░░░░░░░░ him come out and ░░░░░░░░ the same statements with ░░░░░░░░ waters and Jerry Nadler
