Listened to, because this smacks of what richardson did when he resigned rather than obey the executive order to fire the watergate prosecutor. the difference is, this is going to be a real circus with the confirmation hearing of senator sessions coming up. many people are just thinking it would go smoothly, but it's going to be a spectacular effort by democrats to go after trump and punish trump for this firing in such a dramatic way. >> andre, he says even republicans know this. what's your reaction? >> i think they're wrong. again, i think that the media and the political pundits are gettin...

Would actually understand what you're trying to accomplish. in this particular regard, as a former executive, this was a mess in terms of how it was rolled out, because no one in the government actually knows how to implement it. >> mayor, and that statement is yours. we have no indication that there's anything mentally or physically wrong with the president of the united states. >> i understand that. >> that's your assessment. carl bernstein -- >> the behavior -- >> douglas brinkley, i want to you, have we ever seen anything like this, you as an historian, have you witnessed anything close to...
