THAT’S WHY YOU HEAR THESE
ARGUMENTS WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER
WEEK.
EVEN IF MITCH McCONNELL SAYS HE
DISAGREES.
>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLING FOR
A DRUG TEST BEFORE THE
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES.
>> WHAT NOBODY THOUGHT IS THAT
HE WAS GOING TO WIN.
HE HAD DEBATE PERFORMANCES WERE
SO BAD, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, HIS
BEST PERFORMANCE WAS AGAINST
BERNIE.
WE’RE GOING TO CALL FOR A DRUG
TEST, BY THE WAY, BECAUSE HIS
BEST PERFORMANCE WAS AGAINST
BERNIE.
IT WASN’T THAT IT WAS WINSTON
CHURCHILL, BECAUSE HE WASN’T.
BUT IT WAS A NORMAL, BORING
DEBATE.
YOU KNOW, NOTHING AMAZING
HAPPENED.
AND WE ARE GOING TO CALL FOR A
DRUG TEST BECAUSE THERE’S NO
WAY.
YOU CAN’T DO THAT.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS GOING
ON?
>> WELL, I DON’T KNOW HOW HE
COULD HAVE BEEN SO INCOMPETENT
IN HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCES AND
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BE OKAY
AGAINST BERNIE.
MY POINT IS, IF YOU GO BACK AND
WATCH SOME OF THOSE NUMEROUS
DEBATES, HE WAS SO BAD.
HE WASN’T EVEN COHERENT.
AND AGAINST BERNIE, HE WAS.
AND WE’RE CALLING FOR A DRUG
TEST.
>> SO THIS IS LIKE A PRIZE FIGHT
WHERE BEFOREHAND YOU HAVE A
TEST?
>> WELL, IT IS A PRIZEFIGHT.
IT’S NO DIFFERENT THAN THE
GLADIATORS EXCEPT, YOU KNOW, WE
HAVE TO USE OUR BRAIN AND OUR
MOUTHS.
AND OUR BODY TO STAND.
YOU KNOW, I WANT ALL STANDING,
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS -- THEY
WANTED TO SIT DOWN.
>> SO, WILLIE, BECAUSE JUST --
I’M CURIOUS, MAYBE DONALD TRUMP
OUGHT TO TAKE A LOOK AT A TAPE
OF HIMSELF.
THERE’S SO MANY TIMES WHERE HE
DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AT ALL.
IT’S ALMOST AS IF HE’S
PROJECTING.
BUT YOU ALSO GET THE FEELING HE
JUST THOUGHT OF THAT.
LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT
CONVERSATION AND DECIDED TO GO
WITH IT.
>> OF COURSE.
I MEAN, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT
TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
THERE’S NOT GOING TO BE A DRUG
TEST.
I THINK IT’S PROBABLY BEST TO
IGNORE THAT, BUT MAYBE IT SHOWS,
AGAIN, THAT HE’S WORRIED ABOUT
THESE DEBATES.
HE’S MAYBE WORRIED ABOUT THE
SPEECH HE SAW VICE PRESIDENT
BIDEN GIVE AT THE CONVENTION
LAST WEEK.
PERHAPS HE’S NOT AS ANXIOUS AND
EXCITED TO GET INTO THE RING
WITH JOE BIDEN AS HE SAYS HE IS.
>> JASON JOHNSON, YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> YEAH.
THIS IS NOT MAYWEATHER VERSUS
McGREGOR, RIGHT?
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO FIGHT.
AND AS ENTERTAINING AS IT MIGHT
BE TO SEE WHO 70-YEAR-OLD GUYS
FIGHT ON A STAGE FOR 27 MINUTES,
THAT’S NOT WHAT IS ABOUT TO
HAPPEN.
AND WHAT KIND OF DRUG TEST IS HE
TALKING ABOUT?
IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE.
THE THING THAT ANNOYS ME ABOUT
THIS IS WHY DO PEOPLE ALLOW THE
PRESIDENT TO GO OFF ON THESE
RIFTS THAT HE CAN’T ENFORCE THAT
MAKE NO SENSE?
THAT IS THE MOST DISTURBING
THING.
AND I THINK THE REPORTER SHOULD
HAVE PUSHED BACK AND SAID,
THAT’S CRAZY.
>> YEAH.
I COULDN’T AGREE WITH YOU MORE.
>>> STILL AHEAD, THOUSANDS OF
HOMES ARE WITHOUT POWER AS
HURRICANE LAURA MOVES THROUGH SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
