DONALD TRUMP'S NOMINEES CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH SOME SERIOUS
CONTROVERSY.
THE RECENT CONTROVERSY HAS TO DO WITH HIS LABOR SECRETARY
NOMINEE, ANDREW PUZDER WHO HAS NOW WITHDRAWN HIS NOMINATION.
WITHDRAWN.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM.
SO MUCH DRAMA IN THIS CASE.
PUZDER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING
TOMORROW ON THURSDAY HOWEVER, HE DECIDED TO WITHDRAW BECAUSE
MORE AND MORE SENATE REPUBLICANS WERE INDICATING THAT THEY
WERE UNLIKELY TO VOTE IN HIS FAVOR.
REMEMBER, IF TWO SENATE REPUBLICANS VOTED AGAINST
HIM, THAT WOULD STILL BE OKAY BECAUSE MIKE PENCE COULD
COME IN AND CAST A VOTE THAT WOULD BREAK THE TIE.
HOWEVER, THERE WERE SO MANY REPUBLICANS THAT WERE
WITHHOLDING THEIR SUPPORT AND VERY HESITANT ABOUT SUPPORTING
HIM, THAT HE ESSENTIALLY DECIDED TO WITHDRAW HIS NOMINATION.
IN FACT, LET ME JUST SAY WE BROKE THAT YESTERDAY.
WE BROKE THE STORY THAT WE HAD A SIXTH SENATOR WHO CAME OUT
AND OPPOSED HIM AND THAT WAS ROB PORTMAN.
NOT OPPOSED HIM,
BUT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HIM.
THE SIXTH REPUBLICAN TO SAY I DON'T KNOW.
RYAN GRAHAM WAS DOING SOME COVERAGE FOR THE YOUNG
TURKS IN THE SENATE WHEN ROB PORTMAN WALKED BY.
RYAN GOT HIM ON CAMERA, ASKED HIM A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS
INCLUDING THAT ONE AND HE WAS LIKE, I'LL HAVE TO SEE.
APPARENTLY THERE WAS ONE TOO MANY I'LL HAVE TO SEEíS FOR
HIM TO SURVIVE SO THAT'S WHY HE IS A GONER.
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH PUZDER.
NUMBER ONE ISSUE WAS THE FACT THAT HE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED
AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND OF
COURSE THAT GOES AGAINST THE SO-CALLED MESSAGING OF
TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.
HE ALSO HAD TO PAY BACK TAXES AS A RESULT OF EMPLOYING THATJO
WOMAN.
THERE WAS ALSO THE ISSUE OF HIS EX-WIFE CLAIMING THAT SHE
HAD BEEN ABUSED BY HIM.
SHE LATER RECANTED THAT BUT SHE DID APPEAR ON OPRAH IN A
DISGUISE IN THE 1990S TO TALK ABOUT THIS ALLEGED ABUSE.
HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING WAS SET FOR THURSDAY HOWEVER, A
SENIOR GOP SOURCE TOLD CNN THAT THERE WERE FOUR FIRM
REPUBLICAN NO VOTES IN THE SENATE AND POSSIBLY UP TO 12.
ONE OF THOSE SENATORS
DIDN'T STRAIGHT OUT SAY THAT HE WOULDN'T VOTE FOR HIM BUT DID
CLAIM THAT.
I WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY IN HIS
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS AND THEN MAYBE IT WILL MAKE A DECISION.
LET ME GIVE YOU A QUOTE THAT HE GAVE TO THE WASHINGTON POST.
HE SAID HE'S GOT AN AWFUL TO PEOPLE IS BECAUSE OF HIM, BUT
ALL THE ZOMBIES HAVE A PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH
WHERE THEY'VE GOT TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE HAVE ON
THEIR BACKGROUNDS AND THEIR RECORDS AND I WANT TO HAVE
THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THIS IS KIND OF UNUSUAL IN THE TRUMP ERA BECAUSE USUALLY
REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
SUPPORT THE CANDIDATE NO MATTER WHAT AND NOW ALL OF A
SUDDEN, WITH PUZDER, YOU HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE HESITANT AND I THINK THAT
FREAKED PUZDER OUT AND HE DECIDED I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.
I'M WITHDRAWING MY NOMINATION.
PUZDER WOULD HAVE GONE FORWARD AND THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE WAS VERY MUCH ON HIS SIDE BECAUSE PUZDER IS VERY
MUCH AGAINST LABOR.
THEY LIKE PERFECT FOR SECRETARY OF LABOR.
HE HAS BEEN ARGUING AGAINST HIGHER WAGES FOR A LONG TIME AND
BIG BUSINESS LOVES THAT HE WAS AGAINST HIGHER WAGES FOR THE
WORKERS, SO WHAT OF COURSE DID HIM IN WAS THAT THERE WERE
ENOUGH REPUBLICAN NO VOTES THAT THEN THERE WERE NEW THERE
WAS NO POINT GOING FORWARD.
THEY WERE JUST GOING TO GO FORWARD AGAIN HARRISON HAVE
THEIR PUBLICANS BUT AGAINST THEM BUT NOW ALL THE SUDDEN WE
HAVE TWO GUYS ON TRUMP'S TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT.
YOU HAVE MICROPHONE WHO IS ALREADY NATIONAL SECURITY
ADVISOR GONE FIRED BY TRUMP AND POZNER HAS WITHDRAWN.
IT IS STARTING TO ROCK A LITTLE BIT.
IT IS GETTING A
LITTLE WOOZY.
AT THE SAME TIME, DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY THOUGHT PEOPLE WHO
ARE UP FOR POSITIONS GET KNOCKED DOWN ALL OF THE TIME AND IT
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING ABOUT, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN
ANYTHING ABOUT AN ADMINISTRATION AND DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
HAVE BUT JOHN PEOPLE BEFORE.
HE HAD A CABINET CHALKBOARD OF CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE,
PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITIONS, AND THEY
ONLY GOT ONE AND IT WASN'T ON ANY OF THE SUBSTANTIAL
POLICY ISSUES BUT IT WAS ON THESE CHARGES FROM THE PAST.
DON'T GET OVEREXCITED EITHER.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS
GOING ON.
YOU MENTIONED THE CORRUPTION.
I THINK THAT IS A VERY RELEVANT PART OF ALL THIS.
UNDERSTAND THE SENATE REPUBLICANS HAD NO PROBLEM
WITH WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU, BUT POZNER WAS ACTUALLY A HUGE
SUPPORT OF DONALD TRUMP'S AND HOW DID HE SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP?
HE CONTRIBUTED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HIS
CAMPAIGN.
ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST, HE AND HIS WIFE DEANNA
POSED HER CONTRIBUTED A TOTAL OF $332,000 TO TRUMP'S BID, JOINT
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEES INTO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
IT IS JUST AMAZING THAT WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE ALL YOU DO
IS DONATE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CANADA, HE
WINS, AND THEN HE CHOOSES YOU AS A NOMINEE FOR LABOR SECRETARY.
LUCKILY, IT DID NOT GO THROUGH, BUT THE ISSUE THAT
REPUBLICANS REALLY HAD WITH HIM WAS THE FACT THAT HE WANTED
TO OPEN THE BORDERS TO MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
HE IS IN FAVOR OF LEGAL IMMIGRATION.
SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE FIND A 4.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE THERE BETWEEN THE MORE
DIEHARD REPUBLICANS AND THE CHAMBER OF CONVERSE AND THE
BUSINESS INTEREST.
POZNER REPRESENTS THOSE BUSINESS INTERESTS.
HE WAS THE CEO OF THE FAST FOOD COMPANY CHAIN AND THEY LIKE
REALLY CHEAP LABOR.
THAT IS WHY HE FOUGHT AGAINST RAISING ANYBODY'S MINIMUM
WAGE AND RAISING THEIR WAGES OVERALL AND THAT IS WAY HE
KIND OF LIKES UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
HE'S LIKE OH, I CAN PAY THEM EVEN LESS.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LIKE SASSY THAT IS WHY THOSE TWO
SETS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CLASH A LITTLE BIT AND HENCE
WHY HE DIDN'T HAVE, THERE LIKELY LOVE YOU KEEPING THE MINIMUM
WAGE LOW, BUT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS STUFF, NOT SO MUCH.
NOT SO MUCH.
THE PARTY YOU DIDN'T HEAR A LOT OF REPUBLICAN SPEAKING OUT
AGAINST WAS THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM BY HIS EX-WIFE
IN THE 1990S.
GOT THE FIRST AND 80S AND SHE APPEARED ON OPRAH IN A
DISGUISE TO TALK ABOUT THE ALLEGED ABUSE.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR, SHE RECANTED THE STATEMENTS THAT SHE
MADE ON OPRAH SHOW ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS LATER.
HOWEVER, THE VIDEO HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED APPARENTLY ANOTHER
WOMAN WHO WAS ON THE EPISODE RELEASE THE VIDEO TO POLITICO.
WE HAVE A SMALL PORTION OF IT I JUST WANTED TO SHOW IT TO
YOU GUYS AND THEN WE WILL COME IN ON IT TO
AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR BEFORE WE SEE THE VIDEO,
THE DISGUISE DID NOT WORK.
YOU KNOW WHO HE/SHE IS THE.
LET'S WATCH.
WAS LEAVING BECAUSE ONCE I MADE THAT BREAK AND ONCE I
MADE IT PUBLIC AND REMEMBER MY EX-HUSBAND WAS A PUBLIC FIGURE.
EVERYONE KNEW HIM AND KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND ONCE I
MADE THAT PUBLIC, HE VOWED REVENGE.
HE SAID I WILL SEE YOU IN THE GUTTER.
THIS WILL NEVER BE OVER.
YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS.
THAT IS SUCH A TERRIBLE DISGUISE THE
WHAT YOU MEAN CLUSTER YOU CAN TELL THAT IT'S HER.
SHE IS WEARING SUNGLASSES.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WHERE SUNGLASSES AND NO ONE KNOWS
IT IS YOU.
AND AWAY.
THAT'S IT.
YOU'RE DONE.
OBVIOUSLY, THEY KNOW EXACTLY SHE WAS.
THEY FOUND THE OLD TAPE AND IT WAS RELEASED AND IT DIDN'T
HELP HIS CAUSE.
THE UNDERLYING ISSUES AND THE CLASS WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS.
