The judge belongs to a group called san diego Lawyers Association which does advocacy work on behalf of latinos. Its not associated with the radical group, but confusion is understandable. Because of that, mr. Trump apparently believes the judge may be biassed against him as it is well known the candidate has taken a strong stand against illegal immigration. The trump u case is political to
some extent, and its a high profile situation. Because of that, talking points believes that the judge should recuse himself. Not because he did anything wrong, he didnt. But to eliminate any doubt as to the motivation in court rulings. No. That didnt happen. Did he just say that . That because trump called it was a parody. Its like a to recuse himself . Because trump made a racist statement about the judge. Is that the new standard we set . Apparently. Know what you call that . Killing justice right there. Oh, thats a book a really bad its staggering that you actually have a defendant in the case making racist comments
about a judge. Highly decorated judge, an honorable judge, who took on the mexican drug cartel. Exactly. In detail yes. And because a defendant makes racist comment about a judge talking point said he must recuse himself . Remember its talking point not oreilly himself. One should point out, this is not fox news position because megyn kelly on the same evening took exactly, of course, the opposite position saying this is absurd what trump is saying about the judge is, you know, a lawyer who tried to make this argument would be sanctioned. Im sorry, around schwarzenegger came out yesterday i retweeted that. He said the judge is anAmerican Hero. A guy that took on the cartels. It goes on and on. Trump had the call yesterday where oh. He ramped it up and encouraged the surrogates to join in on the attacks. You need to read the piece, at least one in the New York Times about this guys life. Trump could not be more wrong. Help me out here. I was doing my afternoon needle point. Crochet. My needle point has gotten a lot better. All right. Smokey mountains. A beautiful scene. [ laughter ] love it. Ill needle pointing and everything, right. Im on ancestry. Com and im looking over and i realize that Donald Trumps mother came to the country about at the same time that this judges mother came to the country. And i put down my Rocky Mountain scene and i said wait a second
if were judging americans, right, right . On their history. Donald trump is no more american than this judge. This is insanity. Then he went wack a doodle lets back up a little bit. Everyone calm down. Can i ask a question . No. Mark hall paren, what is going on . I saw don rickles last night. How many Million People watch it . Armed forces ii. 72 million. If you had Armed Forces Radio across the planet watching and last night you started asking the question weve been asking for awhile here. Does he want to win . Has this really become a craze. Just a destruction of the Republican Party for fun. A crazied Reality Tv Show. And destroyed the republican
party. The convention is far enough away some republicans are fantasizing is there a way to stop it . They have to. They are concerned that he will not listen on something as fundamental as this. Calling a judge a racist. Lets back up a little bit, guys. Their concern is hes doing this for himself. This is about his own private litigation. And nothing to do with helping the Republican Party. No, no. Hes ruining it. If he will do this much damage to the Republican Party for his own self, theyre worried about him and what might happen in the next five months. The good news is the leading republicans who endorsed them revoked their endorsements. One after another. Yeah. Its june 7th. Chief washington is here it was donald trump. A personal friend of mine. What the heck . He was announdenouncing me b adding paraphernalia threadd ing parentheticals. Gene of washington. Eugene robinson. Exactly. Hes scottish. Bloomberg politics reports trump demanded they intensify their attacks on judge cure yell and others involved in the case involving forprofit Trump University. According to bloomberg trump told the surrogates we will overcome and ive always won and im going to continue to win and thats the way it is. It goes on. When former Arizona Governor jan brewer interrupted the discussion to inform campaign that his own campaign had asked surrogates to stop talking about the lawsuit in a email on sunday, trump immediaty
overruled his staff. Take that order and throw it the hell out. That came from the staff thats right. His very, very small staff. His staff puts out an order. Stop talking about it. His teeny staff. Yeah. I predicted on the program yesterday he would trump would realize this is a huge mistake and try to apologize and ring the bell. And my bloomberg colleagues Jennifer Jacobs said we heard about the Conference Call. Clearly he apologized. It turns out no. Theres a little phrase that willie likes to use called doubling down. Trump apparently said are there any other stupid letters sent out to you folks . Meaning directives sent from his campaign. His very Small Campaign. Thats one of the reasons i want to have this call. You are getting sometimes stupid information from people that arent so smart. So donald trump has a Small Campaign. Yeah. Its tight. He hasnt had to hire that many people. No. You think if he doesnt have to hire that many people, hes not going to screw up that badly. Could meet him in the phone booth. Meet him in the phone booth and have time to put down the cable and have a 12course meal inside the phone booth. Apparently he hired people that arent that smart. Thats what im saying. If this guy is going to be hiring people to run washington, d. C. , he cant even pick a few people that hes already calling stupid. Its his own people that he selected are stupid. Yes. Bill clinton has an expression he couldnt organize a twocar parade. Campaign manager cory said he wouldnt share details of the private call, which covered multiple topics. Only trump gave the individuals in the call the understanding the background of the case that it should have been dismissed on summary judgment. The bloomberg report was not accurate, he said, but refused to specify inaccuracies. Last night trump spoke with fox news Host Bill Oreilly, as you saw, called on the judge to recuse himself to eliminate doubt. If the judge recuses himself, itll be interesting. I think the judge is an honest man. I dont think hes hosing you. I dont. I checked him. I hope so. Look, i want him to be. Mexican or not mexican. I want him i want him to give me a fair shake. When we have thousands of people saying this is great i got it. Why does it continue to go forward . You know, all these times every time i go i want to talk about how lousy the economy is. I want to talk about how badly were doing against isis. How badly were doing at the border. Every time i do a show they want to talk about Trump University. You know in the context of this this is amazing were having, right. This may be a small point, but what trump just said. All i want the judge to do is agree with me. Right. And he is just like tremendously indignant at anybody that doesnt agree with him. Like he cant imagine that. Theres got to be something wrong with the guy. Put aside the bigotry for a second. Lets talk political strategy. What is donald trump doing here if he wants to become the president of the United States. If youre running off latino voters, the argument after mitt romneys loss is he only won 23 of the latino vote and republicans might to get 40 win a general election. As a strategic matter. We know donald trump is smart the way he ran his campaign during the primary. What is he doing with this . Is it about winning a lawsuit the expense of becoming president of the United States . Yes. What are his endorsers doing . What is the Republican Party doing . Every republican in the country is being asked to weigh in. And the best anyone has done in defending him is to say i wouldnt have said it that way but lets move on. Youre going to see editorials and the Clinton Campaign, the Democratic National convention and harry reid, they are going to run with this forever. Because this thing hasnt even played out. As long as trump continues to have the position. We have to talk about the difference between this and the muslim ban at some point. Because that was as abhorrent. I want to go back to republicans, gene, that say, gee, i was shocked by this. Paul ryan this just came out left field. No it didnt. There was a muslim ban back in december we all said was disqualifying. Paul ryan went out and held a press conference condemned it. Right. Yeah. And he was making racist statements about this judge last week before paul ryan endorsed
donald trump. Exactly. It was all out there. You know, it didnt come out of left field. Yeah. This is not out of left field. This is in the main stream. And what a trump has been doing and saying. For paul ryan it came out of left field. There are two reasons. I hear what youre saying butna number one in that case, the hard, uncomfortable truth for the Republican Party was a lot of republicans agreed with trump on the muslim ban. A lot of republicans agreed with him. Right. Right. But ryan had to face the reality that a lot of republicans agreed with donald trump. The other reason is, they hoped, which i know mika will say is a silly hope on their part, they had hoped once he became the presumptive nominee, that he would cut stuff like this out. No, it was up to them to make him. See Bernie Sanders now . Hes not out yet. Hes going get something out of this. Elizabeth warren getting something out of this situation. Thats how it works, too. I thought it was deal making. I thought you guys were so good at this. You guys, you republicans in washington are negotiating like women 20 years ago. Its bad. Let me just tell you. Youre being selfdeep i are candidating and naive. They give you nothing. Nothing. Right, nothing. Back of the hand. Back of the hand. Yeah. So, yeah. The thing is, though, the muslim ban deal. Its not something that you can swat away that easily. And if paul ryan wanted or if donald trump wanted paul ryans endorsement, he could have said you have to back up this muslim ban. Yeah. We have some of the best people in National Security. We can put together a package to make sure its tougher for terrorists to come into the United States. It will give you complete cover. Well standby your side. You can say, hey, i dont feel safe under Barack Obamas regime. But when i am president , regime of letting people in but when im president this is regime well operate under. This is the matrix that people will have to go there u. Instead he had happy talks. And here it is. Quit the muslim ban and ill endorse you. He did nothing. No, he didnt extract anything in exchange. I dont understand what paul ryan would have lost by waiting it out. Were trying to swat this away. Youre starting to see cracks. Lindsey graham in the piece in the New York Times this morning. Its the most unamerican thing from a politician since joe mccarthy. If anyone was looking for an off ramp, this is probably it. There will come a time when the love of hatred will trump
hillary. Republicans just a couple of weeks ago we were talking about how the republicans were united and the democrats were divided. There are a lot of donors and member of congress and candidates who would like to figure out now can we run without being united with trump. Kelly ayotte of new hampshire. And she faces a tough reelection fight in new hampshire. His comments are offensive and wrong and he should retract them. Thats fine. Her Campaign Said she intends to support trump as a nominee. We have a twostep process. If trump continues to double down, at some point for people like kelly, ron johnson of wisconsin, portman in ohio. Theyre not going to be able to this becomes endorse a guy that makes racist statements about people born in indiana. Youre right. It becomes a clear loser for
them. Right. In indiana. Becomes a clear loser for them. They have to cut him loose. Lets stop here. Because, you know, a lot of times we say things and we got to go to the other things. The new hillary ad. A lot of times we just stop and say hold on. And, like, for instance during the Republican Convention in 2012, all the republicans wasnt that cool . We just stopped and said this is a disaster. The Romney Campaign is in deep, deep trouble. And theyre going to lose if they dont turn things around quickly. People went absolutely crazy. I get skewered 24 hours a day. My twitter feed. You have no idea say this right now republicans in washington, d. C. , right now youre letting your presumptive nominee, who is making racist statements run rough shod over what remaining National Reputation we have as a national
party. So you to start calling him out today. This is not where you can do the slow boil. You have to start calling him out and saying youre going to retract your endorsement of him today. Or else the United States senate is in danger. Kelly ayottes seat is in danger. Rob portmans seat is in danger. Ron johnsons seat is in danger. A lot of other seats the party are in danger. If the speaker of the house who continues to endorse a man making racist statements and really tearing away at the very fabric of madisons separation of powers that talks about an independent judiciary, then the house of representatives is in danger. We will tell you this remember, and it may have drove you crazy in the fall when willie and i said what is today . We would say okay trump is still ahead. And you would say hes going to fall . And, you know, look at the day. And we said he wasnt going to fall. He was going win the nomination. Now what is today . Today, willie, today is june 7, 2016. Republicans, call him out. Back away from the endorsements. Make him back down on the muslim ban. Make him back down on the racist comment hes made about a man born in indiana saying hes incapable of being a fair judge because where his parents were born. Or else you will lose the senate and you will lose the house. You will lose the presidency. You will lose governorships. You will lose your standing as a national party. Its that simple. And one other point on this, according to my michael of yahoo . Last month the plaintiffs lawyers argued to hold a trial as soon as possible in that 6yearold case saying there are people who paying off their debts from the money they paid to Trump University. But the judge pushed the trial slated for just after the Republican Convention back to november 28th, so it would not
interfere with the campaign. That sounds fair. In footage captured by yahoo news, this is what trumps own lawyer said outside the courtroom on may 6th, just three weeks before trump began claiming the judges heritage made him biassed against him. You said you have no plans to ask the judge to recuse himself. Can you talk about that . If the judge is doing his job and were not seeing to recuse the judge. Were trying to assert our rights and i think the court today is balancing out competing interests. We preferred a trial later in time and well set it november 28th when it was preferable there you go. Meaning all around. He was wrong all around. Still ahead on morning joeHillary Clinton is declared Presumptive Democratic nominee. Dont tell that to six states voting today. Plus, well ask senator bob corker how its possible to support a nominee without supporting what he stands for. Thats a good question. Plus, david finch bowed out of his independent challenge for the white house. First, bill karins with a check on the forecast. Bill very well. Very well. Too well. A little uncomfortable intimately. Tropical storm k orcolin pre much a dud. No complaints at all. A little storm surge about 2 to 3 feet in some areas.
