QandA Politics as Persuasion

There's one person here who says he should let it play out. You know, there's a bigger issue here. He could let it play out because maybe that's the best legal strategy, but there's sort of a bigger issue here. This crosses a line that is so striking to me that it just goes to overthrow of the presi…

What would happen next if he fired them all? Well, let's play that through. Let's say President Trump just fires, I don't know how deep you'd have to fire, but seems like there's a lot of firing there that needs to be done. At least Mueller. I think Mueller's got to go now. Was it Mueller actually?…

Wow. Let me see what the various news organizations, let's see how they're covering it. So let's look at Fox News. Trump bashes the FBI raid and it talks about the president calling it disgraceful.

And I'll say again as clearly as possible, if the president doesn't do some firing because of this, I'm going to be real disappointed.

We are still waiting for people who actually know what they're talking about to weigh in. And that usually means somebody like Dershowitz.

What if he does not fire anyone? Well, you know, I'm not even sure this will hurt him for re-election because if these guys really dig into this Stormy stuff and they use the stuff they found from this person, the lawyer, to get at him, I'm gonna register to vote, man.

Dershowitz is on Hannity tonight and Hannity says Dershowitz is apoplectic. Is that true? Well it's probably true because the way you said it made it sound like you just saw. So probably is.

All right. Looking at all your comments at this point. Yeah, I think all of you are just sharing the emotion. That's sort of what we're doing here, right?

Repercussions won't be good for anyone, somebody says. Fine, bring them on. Yeah. I'm not sure exactly who needs to get fired other than Mueller. So I guess start there. Then the question is does Rosenstein or Sessions, I never get those right. Jeff Sessions part of that? We'll see.

Closing General Commentary

All right. So I've never seen so much agreement on a point which is that this has gone too far. And I think I'm going to watch a little news coverage. You'll probably do the same. And stay tuned for more tonight. Bye for now.

View segment →

Well, I thought it was going to be a quiet news day but it's not looking like that now. Have you all seen the news? According to the New York Times, federal agents have raided the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

What do you think of that? Let me give you my opinion at this point, and this is just my opinion as a citizen of the country. At this point, and at no point before this, but at this point, President Trump has my full support to fire everybody he can fire. People who just have names that sound like these. He can fire Sessions, he can fire Rosenstein, he can fire all of them. Now he has my full support. Fire everybody you need to and I am totally on board.

And by the way, I don't want to know. I don't care what the charges are. I don't care what they find at President Trump's personal lawyer's place. Period. Game over.

And now I don't know if the president will fire anybody but now it's a free pass. It's a free punch. You know that I'm completely on board with the firing now. Fire 'em all.

And I wouldn't have said any of that literally ten minutes ago. Ten minutes ago I would have said firing these guys would be the worst thing that ever happened. It would be the dumbest idea. And now, fire 'em all, I'm on board.

So I would love to see a poll that gives me a flash opinion. In your opinion, can the president just fire everybody now? Does anybody disagree with that at this point? Is there anybody who thinks that it would be prudent for him not to fire them at this point?

This is the most agreement I've ever seen on any question I've ever asked on Periscope. Is there even one person who thinks these people need to keep their jobs?

All right. Well, if you missed the first minute, we're talking about the New York Times reporting that federal agents have raided the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, which gives them access to all of the private communications that relate to Stormy Daniels and the president and the hush money payment and whatever else they might find in the personal communications.

That is a line. Sir, you crossed the line. Sir, you crossed the line, okay? They crossed the line too but this is a frickin' line.

All right. As a citizen, I am fully on board. Mr. President, time to get rid of all of them. All of them. I'd get rid of every frickin' person who even touched this decision, you know, and I'd do it tomorrow. I don't care if there's empty seats. I don't care if it causes a riot in the street. I don't care if it puts a stain on his presidency. I don't care. I don't care about anything. This is the biggest firing offense I've ever seen. I don't even care if they followed all the rules.

There's one person here who says he should let it play out. You know, there's a bigger issue here. He could let it play out because maybe that's the best legal strategy, but there's sort of a bigger issue here. This crosses a line that is so striking to me that it just goes to overthrow of the presidency kind of situation. But beyond that, I mean that's just one of the lines. So one of the lines that they're crossing is they're just interfering with the people at this point. The freaking people elected this president. We did not elect a bunch of bureaucrats to make his job impossible. That's not good for me. I'm personally not better off with any of the stuff that's happening.

With Trump's lawyer, crossed the line. Crossed the line.

Wow. Did I see the latest Q post? No, and I don't care about it. They took his phone, computer, everything. Yeah, you know, I'd close them down. It may be too late at this point to ever get any of that stuff back. It might just be that at this point it's just gonna be what it's going to be because once they've seized it, I don't know if he could ever get it back. You could just keep firing people until nobody wants to touch it anymore.

What would happen next if he fired them all? Well, let's play that through. Let's say President Trump just fires, I don't know how deep you'd have to fire, but seems like there's a lot of firing there that needs to be done. At least Mueller. I think Mueller's got to go now. Was it Mueller actually? They said the FBI but does that mean it was Mueller? I get a little confused about who does what over there. But whoever sent the FBI after Trump's personal lawyer over the Stormy Daniels stuff, oh my God, way over the line.

So yes. Somebody said what would happen if you were to fire the special counsel now. And here's my answer. I don't care. I don't care. Well, I don't care. We're all the line. Across the line. That's the whole point of a line, right? The whole point of a line is that if you cross that line, I don't care anymore. The implications are the implications. And if it costs, you know, if it causes other problems, now bring them on. Yeah, it wasn't our decision. Across the line.

All right. Wow. My head is just shaking over this. I'm like blah blah blah blah blah blah. I can't remember the last time I was so offended by something the government did. And the government does a lot to offend me. Yeah, it's not as if we don't have a lot of choices for things to be offended by. But holy cow.

Rosenstein approved it. Yeah, you know, and it might be that everybody was just doing their job and that they had to follow the evidence and they can't ignore it if there are any potential laws and the trail seems to point to them. They can't ignore it. And so I say fire them anyway. Well, I don't care. Fire 'em all. You have my full support, Mr. President. Don't care what the consequences are. Once they go after his personal life and his personal lawyer in a political context, shut them down.

All right. Yeah, and you're seeing the subdued version of me. I'm literally doing everything I can not to show the full extent of my anger right now because I'm going to be mad at the president if we get to the end of today and any of those people still have jobs. Like I'm going to start getting mad at him if it doesn't happen right away.

Wow. Let me see what the various news organizations, let's see how they're covering it. So let's look at Fox News. Trump bashes the FBI raid and it talks about the president calling it disgraceful. And over on CNN, I think the news is so new that they're both going to be covering it the same so there won't be much opinion in it. And there's Chris Cilizza who I believe, you know Chris Cilizza over at CNN. I don't know if he had time to write an actual article so I believe he's just still masturbating to it. Jesus, masturbating to the news at this point because this has got to be the happiest day of his life. Oh my God.

So the records that I'm looking at, CNN: Trump on whether he'll fire Mueller, quote, "We'll see what happens." And he says, why don't you just fire Mueller? Somebody asked. He says, well I think it's a disgrace what's going on. We'll see what happens. A disgrace. And Trump is also framing it as an attack on our country. That's how I see it. That's how I see it as an attack on the country.

And just for all the deals, I got to give you a pre-emptive Dale. Okay? Are you ready for a pre-emptive Dale? Here it is. Dilbert, why didn't you say the same thing when President Clinton was being impeached for a Monica Lewinsky thing? Why didn't you say the same thing then? Dale, I will slap that beard right off you. I did say the same thing then. I didn't like it when President Clinton's personal life became a public problem and I don't like it now. I feel exactly the same.

So before anybody accuses me of being hypocritical on this, same rules. If this were the Democrats, if this were Hillary Clinton going through the same situation, same reaction. This is more about the country. This isn't so much about the politicians anymore. This is no longer about Democrat and Republican. This is the Republic. This is the world you want to live in. This is us getting to decide, is this the world that we can tolerate? Can you tolerate this environment? I can't. I can't tolerate it. So I'm all up for the firing. Bring it on.

And I'll say again as clearly as possible, if the president doesn't do some firing because of this, I'm going to be real disappointed. And when you ask me what do I think of the ramifications, what about the fallout from the firing, what about all the bad things, the marches in the street, what about the protests, what about the violence that would certainly happen? Probably there would be protests. Probably people get hurt. Here's my answer. Don't care. Don't care. The line has been crossed.

All right. Now let's just bring on that stuff. Let's get it over with. Let's hurry it up. Let's have the protests. Bring them on. Bring on the protest. Bring on the people who say he's a dictator. He is. He's firing people who are just investigating the law. Bring it on. Bring it all on. It's time to just get all this cleared away. It's time now.

We are still waiting for people who actually know what they're talking about to weigh in. And that usually means somebody like Dershowitz. I cannot wait to hear Alan Dershowitz talk about this because I don't know what Dershowitz is gonna say. And this might be the first time that he and I disagree. I don't know that but it might be. Because I suspect that Dershowitz would speak in terms of the law and what's the best legal strategy, that sort of thing. But I'm not really talking on that level. I no longer care about the law. Sorry. I no longer care about the law. That's not what this is about anymore. This is not about the law. This is about something completely different.

What if he does not fire anyone? Well, you know, I'm not even sure this will hurt him for re-election because if these guys really dig into this Stormy stuff and they use the stuff they found from this person, the lawyer, to get at him, I'm gonna register to vote, man. That's how I agree. I would be. Do you know how many people like you get to vote if I register? It would be a lot. And this is one of those issues that should cross the aisle at least a little bit because this is the same standard you'd want to see with a politician on either side. You shouldn't care about what team they're on at this point.

You will invoke privilege? I don't know how that works. All right. So I'm not sure I have much else to say about that.

Dershowitz is on Hannity tonight and Hannity says Dershowitz is apoplectic. Is that true? Well it's probably true because the way you said it made it sound like you just saw. So probably is. All right. I'm clearing my calendar because I'm going to watch Dershowitz's head explode on live TV. And if he disagrees with me on this, it'll be the first time I disagreed with him. Now it might be that there's just a terrible legal peril if he fires them and maybe Dershowitz, just being a good lawyer, would say well even though you might want to, don't do it. But I'm not on that team. I'm on the team of I don't care what the consequence is. Time to fire. Time to just shut it down.

DNC is trying to martyr Mueller. Bring it on. Yeah. So here's the important thing. All of the what-ifs, you know, if he fires him this repercussion, that repercussion, this repercussion. Bring on the repercussions. I'm all about the repercussions now. Don't want anybody to get hurt but let's just bring on the repercussions now. In fact, I think that will be my new hashtag. It's like the repercussions is something you're supposed to try to avoid. No, I don't want any repercussions. Not anymore. I am pro repercussions. Bring them on. Repercuss our asses as hard as you want. I'll take those repercussions with a smile.

All right. Looking at all your comments at this point. Yeah, I think all of you are just sharing the emotion. That's sort of what we're doing here, right? Because there's not much in terms of information being exchanged. Nobody's learning everything but we're having this weirdly cathartic shared immediate experience that is kind of unique, isn't it? I mean, at least what I feel is I feel that most of you are having the same reaction I'm having and that it feels good for you to see the same reaction coming out at me. There's something necessary about that. It's just something that we all needed at the same time.

Repercussions won't be good for anyone, somebody says. Fine, bring them on. Yeah. I'm not sure exactly who needs to get fired other than Mueller. So I guess start there. Then the question is does Rosenstein or Sessions, I never get those right. Jeff Sessions part of that? We'll see.

So by the way, I don't think we need to march to the streets or anything about this. Am I crying? No, I'm whatever is the opposite of that. They ban knives in London, I thought. Yeah, you want to be so lucky that you're the pro-gun president at a time when London has to ban knives because there are so many knife attacks. I mean you can't replace just being in the right place at the right time, tell you.

All right. So I've never seen so much agreement on a point which is that this has gone too far. And I think I'm going to watch a little news coverage. You'll probably do the same. And stay tuned for more tonight. Bye for now.

that it did do pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom well I thought it was gonna be a quiet news day but it's not looking like that now have you all seen the news according to the New York Times federal agents have raided the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen Oh what do you think of that let me let me give you my opinion at this point and this is just my opinion as a citizen of the country at this point and at no point before this but at this point President Trump has my full support to fire everybody he can fire people who just have names that sound like these now he can fire sessions he can fire Rosenstein he can fire you can fire all of them now he has my full support fire everybody you need to do and I am totally on board and by the way I don't want to know I don't care what the charges are I don't care what they find at the president Trump's personal lawyers place period game over and now I don't know if the president will fire anybody but now it's a free pass it's a free punch you know that I'm completely on board with the firing now fire them all and I wouldn't have said any of that literally ten minutes ago ten minutes ago I would have said firing these guys would be the worst the worst thing that ever happened it would be the dumbest idea and now fireball I'm on board so I would love to see a poll that give me a flash opinion in your opinion can president just fire everybody now does anybody disagree with that at this point is there anybody thinks that it would be prudent for him not to fire them at this point this is the most agreement I've ever seen on any question I've ever asked that periscope is there even one person who thinks these people need to keep their jobs all right well if you were if you missed the first minute we're talking about the New York Times reporting that the federal agents have raided the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen which gives them access to all of the private communications that relate to stormy Daniels and the president and the hush Bay minsum and whatever else they might find in the personal communications that is a line you think Siri across the line Syria did not cross the line okay they crossed the line too but this is a frickin line all right as a citizen I I am fully on board mr.

my opinion at this point and this is

just my opinion as a citizen of the

country at this point and at no point

before this but at this point President

Trump has my full support to fire

everybody he can fire people who just

have names that sound like these

now he can fire sessions he can

fire Rosenstein he can fire you can fire

all of them now he has my full support

fire everybody you need to do and I am

totally on board and by the way I don't

want to know I don't care what the

charges are I don't care what they find

at the president Trump's personal

lawyers place period game over and now I

don't know if the president will fire

anybody but now it's a free pass it's a

free punch you know that I'm completely

on board with the firing now fire them

all and I wouldn't have said any of that

literally ten minutes ago

ten minutes ago I would have said firing

these guys would be the worst the worst

thing that ever happened it would be the

dumbest idea and now fireball I'm on

board so I would love to see a poll that

give me a flash opinion in your opinion

can president just fire everybody now

does anybody disagree with that at this

point

is there anybody thinks that it would be

prudent for him not to fire them at this

point this is the most agreement I've

ever seen on any question I've ever

asked that periscope is there even one

person who thinks these people need to

keep their jobs all right well if you

were if you missed the first minute

we're talking about the New York Times

reporting that the federal agents have

raided the office of Trump lawyer

Michael Cohen

which gives them access to all of the

private communications that relate to

stormy Daniels and the president and the

hush Bay minsum and whatever else they

might find in the personal

communications that is a line you think

Siri across the line Syria did not cross

the line okay they crossed the line too

but this is a frickin line all right as

a citizen I

I am fully on board mr. president time

to get rid of all of them all of them

I'd get rid of every frickin person who

even touched this decision you know and

I'd do it I'd do it tomorrow I don't I

don't care if there's empty seats I

don't care if it causes a riot in the

street I don't care if it puts a stain

on his presidency I don't care I don't

care anything this is the biggest firing

offense I've ever seen right I don't

even care if they followed all the rules

there's one person here says he should

let it play out you know there's a

bigger issue here he could let it play

out

because that you know maybe that's the

best legal strategy but there's sort of

a bigger issue here

this this crosses a line that is they're

so striking to me that that it just goes

to overthrow of the presidency kind of

situation but beyond that I mean that's

just one of the lines so one of the

lines that are crossing is they're just

interfering with the people at this

point all right the freaking people

elected this president we did not elect

a bunch of you know bureaucrats to make

his job impossible that's not good for

me all right I'm personally not better

off with any of the stuff that's

happening with Trump's lawyer cross the

line across the line Wow did I see the

latest queue post no and I don't care

about it they took his phone computer

everything yeah you know I'd close them

down it may be too late at this point to

ever get any of that stuff back it might

just be that at this point it's just

gonna be what it's going to be because

once they've seized him I don't know if

he could never get him back you could

just keep firing people until somebody

tell nobody wants to touch it anymore

what would happen next if he fired them

all well let's play that through let's

say the President Trump just fires I

don't know how deep you'd have to fire

but seems like there's a lot of fire in

there needs to be done at least Muller

I think Muller's got to go now if was it

Muller actually they said the FBI but

does that mean it was Muller I'm I get a

little confused about who does what over

there but whoever sent the FBI after

after Trump's the personal lawyer over

the stormy Daniel stuff oh my god

way over the line so yes somebody said

what would happen if you were to fire

the Special Counsel now

here and here's my answer I don't care I

don't care well I don't care we're all

the line across the line that's the

whole point of a line right the whole

point of a line is that if you cross

that line I don't care anymore

that you know that that the the

implications are the implications and if

it costs you know if it causes other

problems now bring him on yeah it wasn't

our decision

across the line all right Wow

my head it my head is just shaking over

this I'm like blah blah blah blah blah

blah I can't remember the last time I

was so offended by something the

government did and the government does a

lot to offend me yeah it's not it's not

as if we don't have a lot of choices for

things to be offended by but holy cow

Rosenstein approved it yeah you know and

it might be that everybody was just

doing their job and that they had to

follow the evidence and they can't

ignore you know if there any potential

laws and the trail seems to point to

them they can't ignore it

and so I say fire them anyway well I

don't care fireball you have my full

support mr. president don't care what

the I don't care what the consequences

are once once they go after his personal

life and his personal wire in a

political context shut them down all

right

yeah and yours that yeah you're seeing

the subdued version of me all right

I'm literally doing everything I can not

to show the full extent of my anger

right now because I mean I'm going to be

mad at the president if we get to the

end of today and any of those people

still have jobs like I'm going to start

getting mad at him for now

if it doesn't happen right away Wow

let me let me see with the various news

organizations let's see how they're

covering it so let's look at Fox News

Trump bashes the FBI raid and it talks

about the president calling it

disgraceful and that over on CNN I think

the news is so new that they're both

going to be covering it the same so

there won't be much opinion and yet and

there's a crystal ASA who I believe you

know Chris this ELISA over at CNN I

don't know if he had time for to write

an actual article so I believe he's just

still masturbating to it he's Jesus

masturbating to the news at this point

because this has got to be the happiest

day of his life

oh my god so the records that I'm

looking at CNN Trump on whether he'll

fire so this is from six minutes ago and

that it's titled to Trump on whether

he'll fire mullah Muller quote we'll see

what happens and he says why don't you

just fire Muller somebody asked he says

well I think it's a disgrace what's

going on we'll see what happens a

disgrace and Trump is also called that

he's framing it as an attack on our

country that's how I see it that's how I

see it as an attack on the country and

just for all the deals I got to give you

a pre-emptive Dale

okay are you ready for a pre-emptive

Dale here it is Louis you're Scott why

didn't you say the same thing when

President Clinton was being was being

impeached for a Monica Lewinsky thing

why did you save the same thing then

Dale I will slap that beard right off

you I did say the same thing then I

didn't like it when President Clinton's

personal life became public a public

problem and I don't like it now I feel

exactly the same

so before anybody accuses me of being

hypocritical on this same rules if this

were the Democrats if this were Hillary

Clinton going through the same situation

same reaction all right this this is

more about the country this isn't so

much about the politicians anymore all

right this is no longer about Democrat

and Republican this is the Republic all

right this is this is the world you want

to live in this is us getting to decide

is this the world that we can tolerate

can you tolerate this environment I

can't I can't tolerate it so I'm all up

for the firing bring it on and and and

I'll say again as clearly as possible if

the president doesn't do some firing

because of this I'm going to be real

disappointed and when you ask me what do

I think of the ramifications what about

the fallout from the firing what about

all the bad things the marches in the

street what about their protests what

about the violence that would certainly

happen probably there would be protests

probably people get hurt

here's my answer don't care don't care

the line has been crossed all right now

now let's just bring on that stuff let's

get it over with let's bring those let's

let's hurry it up let's have the

protests bring them up bring on the

protest bring on the people who say he's

a dictator he is he's firing people who

are just investigating the law bring it

on bringing it all up

bring it all on it's time to just get

this all this cleared away it's

time now we are still waiting for people

who actually know what they're talking

about to weigh em and that usually means

somebody like Dershowitz I cannot wait

to hear Alan Dershowitz talk about this

because I don't know what at what

Dershowitz is gonna say and this might

be the first time that he and I disagree

I don't know that but it might be

because I suspect that Dershowitz would

give

or it would speak in terms of the law

and what's the best legal strategy that

sort of thing but I'm not really talking

on that level

I no longer care about the law

sorry I no longer care about the law

that's not what this is about anymore

this is not about the law this is about

something completely different

what if he does not fire anyone well you

know I'm not even sure this will hurt

him for re-election because you know it

if these guys you know really dig into

this stormy stuff and they use the stuff

they found from this person the lawyer

to get at him I'm gonna register to vote

man I that's how that's how I agree I

would be do you know how many people

like you get to vote if I tried to it

would be a lot

and this is one of those there's issues

that should cross the aisle at least a

little bit because this is the same

standard you'd want to be you'd want to

see with a politician on either side you

shouldn't care about what team they're

on at this point you will invoke

privilege I don't know how that works

all right so I'm not sure I have much

else to say about that

Dershowitz is on Hannity tonight in

Hannity says Dershowitz is apoplectic is

that true well it's probably true

because the way you said it made it

sound like you just saw so probably

Israel all right I'm clear in my

calendar because I'm going to watch

Dershowitz

his head explode on live TV and if he

disagrees with me on this it'll be the

first time I disagreed with him now it

might be that there's just a terrible

legal peril if he fires them and maybe

Dershowitz just being a good you know

lawyer would say well even though you

might want to don't do it but I'm not on

that team I'm on the team of I don't

care what the consequence is time to

fire time to time just shut it down

DNC is trying to martyr Muller

bring it on yeah so here's the important

thing all of the what-ifs you know if he

fires him this repercussion that

repercussion this repercussion bring on

the repercussions I'm all about the

repercussions now you know don't want

anybody to get hurt

but let's just bring on the

repercussions now in fact I think that

will be my new my new hashtag it's like

you know the repercussions is something

you're supposed to try to avoid no I

don't want any repercussions not anymore

I am Pro repercussions bring them on

repercussion our asses as hard as you

want

I'll take those repercussions with a

spoil all right looking at all your

comments at this point yeah I think all

of you are just sharing the emotion

that's sort of what we're doing here

right because you know there's not much

in terms of information being exchanged

nobody's learning everything but we're

having this this weirdly cathartic

shared immediate experience that it's

kind of unique isn't it I mean I could

not at least what I feel is I feel that

most of you are having the same reaction

I I'm having and that it feels good for

you to see it to see the same reaction

coming out at me there's something yeah

just something necessary about that it's

just something that we all needed at the

same time

repercussions repercussions won't be

good for anyone somebody says fine bring

them up

yeah I'm not sure exactly who needs to

get fired

other than Muller so are they asked to

start there then the question is you

know does Rosenstein or Stein I never

get those right you see part of that is

as jeff sessions part of that we'll see

so by the way I don't think we need to

you know March to the streets or

anything about this what is sort of its

saying am i crying no I'm whatever is

the opposite of that

they've they ban knives in London I

thought yeah you want to be so lucky

that you're the the pro-gun president at

a time when London has to ban knives

because there are so many knife attacks

I mean you can't replace just being in

the right place at the right time tell

you all right so I've never seen so much

agreement on a point which is that this

has gone too far

and I think I'm going to watch a little

news coverage you'll probably do the

same and stay tuned for more tonight bye

for now
