pep rally that clocked in at more than two hours. the longest speech of his tenure so far. trump berated the media, who he continued to label fake news. his former attorney general jeff sessions who he mocked in a fake southern accent, no less. and other targets for whom he rolled out a little bit of profanity. we had the greatest of all time. now we have people that lost. and unfortunately you put the wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn t be there. all of the sudden they are trying to take you out with bullshit, okay? but trump stopped short of mentioning by name the man who caused him the most trouble this week. his former personal attorney and fixer michael cohen. maybe because cohen s bombshell
testimony triggered more house inquiries to come which could potentially reach the man who knows what s in the books. trump organization chief financial officer alan weisselberg as well as trump s long time assistant rona graph and maybe his grown children. ro khanna joins me now. congressman, thank you very much for being here. one of our guests will be on after you said in his view and this is tim o brien you asked the single best question of the entire spectacle of the cohen inquiry. i will play it for you now. are you telling us, mr. cohen, that the president directed in conspiracy with alan weisselberg and his son donald trump, jr., as part of is criminal conspiracy of financial
any staff concerned with trump are gone. it is straight up cult worship. on top of that, sitting members of congress, you know, openly threaten a witness in front of the house of representative. and showed up to stare him down. and the fact that he s not communicated from his own party boggles the imagination. the question then becomes then do we spend too much time thinking of fox news of it. it radiates and 70% of the american homes. there is a whole constellation of the media outlets that s feeding the same narrative. okay, we ll be a follower of trump. they have all it is unprecedented. it is unprecedented.
just reporting wise, is there an entity on the right that has the moral authority to counter that? no. the closest i would say the wall street journal editorial page who speaks for the big businesses. the base of the party does not trust. no, the problem is republican party have been taken over by this cult of personality of reality tv show star. it is incredible and extraordinary that this is not hair on fire story everyday and everywhere. before we go to break, here is saturday night live take, we need laughs here. mr. cohen has pled guilty of fraudulent activity. yeah, right after this, it says at the direction of president trump. it does? oh, damn it. you wouldn t accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills?
the daughter. the idea he s not fired today is evidence that we are on that sliding scale because it is clear that he s a national security threat. it is clear of anyone who knows anything about this. the fact that we are waking up on sunday days after that broke and he s still at his job is evidence. his own lawyer saying that jared kushner lied to him about his status. we completely gaused over the bomb shell story of my lifetime that the president of the united states was investigated being an agent of a foreign power. that lasted more than the jussie smollett s story. cohen when he arrived, he was specific, trump is cheering the russian hacking and roger stone was on the phone there is going to be document. anyone else would have gone to the fbi.
