DURING A RECENT INTERVIEW HE HAD TO SAY THIS. >> I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE NOW. HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. IT IS VERY DYNAMIC AND AS DIVISIVE OF AN INAUGURATION THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD, AT THE SAME TIME IT IS TIME FOR US TO EMBRACE, SHAKE HANDS WITH THIS FELLA AND BE CONSTRUCTIVE WITH HIM OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. EVEN THOSE WHO MAY DISAGREE WITH HIS PRINCIPLES OR WHAT HE HAS SAID AND DONE, WHICH WE WILL SEE WHAT HE DOES COMPARED TO WHAT HE HAD SAID, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU EVEN DISAGREE IT IS TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW CONSTRUCTIVE CAN YOU BE BECAUSE HE IS OUR PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AT LEAST, AT LEAST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT AT LEAST PART. >>I AGREE WITH SOME OF IT. I HAVE THESE MOMENTS WHERE I AM LIKE, HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. I SAID DURING THE FIRST HOUR OF THE SHOW, WE HAVE MADE OUR BED. I AM CONTINUOUSLY LOSING MORE HOPE IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT HERE IS WHAT I DISAGREE WITH, I RESPECT HIS OPINION, BUT DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL PRESIDENT IN A CONVENTIONAL ADMINISTRATION WHERE YOU CAN LEAD TO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND CHANGE. HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO ANYONE. I THINK IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THE WAY THAT HE RESPONDS TO MASS PROTESTS IN RESPONSE TO HIS ACTIONS, THE WAY THAT HE RESPONDS TO HIS LOW APPROVAL RATING. HE JUST BRUSHES IT OFF. I'M SURE BEHIND THE SCENES IT BOTHERS HIM, BUT HE DOESN'T TAKE THE OPPONENT SERIOUSLY. HE IS NOT OPEN TO CRITICISM. IN FACT, IF YOU DO CRITICIZE THEM WHICH HAPPENED WITH SALLY YATES, HE WILL FIRE YOU AND GET RID OF YOU. RIGHT NOW IS A TIME FOR PEOPLE TO RESIST AND PROTEST AND MAKE THEIR VOICES BE HEARD. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD IN THIS COUNTRY IS OUR COMPLACENCY. WE ARE INSANELY COMPLACENT, EASILY DISTRACTED BY NONSENSE ON TELEVISION, WE LOVE THE HOUSEWIVES, ALL THAT BS. IN THE MEANTIME, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN TEARING UP OUR PRIVACY RIGHTS, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING TERRIBLE THINGS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHICH HAS LED TO HOSTILITY HERE TOWARD AMERICA. IT IS TIME FOR US TO RISE UP AND DO SOMETHING. I DON'T WANT AMERICANS TO BE COMPLACENT. SITTING BACK AND LETTING THE TRUMPET MINISTRATION TO WHAT THEY WANT IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. IN FACT, I THINK THAT IS UN-AMERICAN. >> I AM SPLIT ON THIS. ON ONE HAND, OF COURSE HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. I DID LIKE THAT ANALOGY ABOUT HOW WE MADE OUR BED. I DON'T WANT HIM AND OUR BED IN THE SAME SENTENCE. >>HE IS LIKE THE KIND OF BED MATES THAT WILL ROLL OVER TO YOUR SIDE AND DOMINATE THE ENTIRE BED AS HE IS DROOLING ALL OVER YOU. >>PLEASE STOP. I AM BEGGING YOU TO STOP. >> FOR EXAMPLE, WITH BUSH WE SAID LET'S SEE WHAT HE DOES. HE TOOK A WELL TO RAMP UP. THEY HAD TO MAKE THE CASE FOR IRAQ, AND THEY MANIPULATED AND TOOK A COUPLE OF YEARS. WHEN THEY INVADED IRAQ IN 2003, WE PROTESTED AGAINST THAT. TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE RULES. EVEN CHENEY, HE MANIPULATED EVERYONE INTO AGREEING TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ. IN HIS CAMPAIGN HE SAID I AM NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED IN THE MESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. NOW HE IS LIKE, I WILL SHOW THEM. BUT ALREADY HE DID THE MUSLIM TRAVEL BAN. ALREADY HE HAS DONE ALL THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS, ALREADY HE HAS PICKED ALL THESE UNBELIEVABLE CABINET MEMBERS WHO ARE GOING TO PILLAGE THE COUNTRY. IT'S NOT LIKE LET'S GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE. WE GAVE HIM A CHANCE, HE PICKED A CABINET THAT IS BASICALLY SAYING WE ARE GOING TO ROB THE COUNTRY BLIND AND DESTROY ALMOST EVERY CABINET WE ARE IN. MATT, WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON? THE JURY HAS COME IN THE FIRST WEEK. I WISH IT WAS MUCH SLOWER. IT IS A RUNAWAY FREIGHT TRAIN. >>I AGREE. AGAIN, I RESPECT HIS OPINION. I THINK IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR THAT PERSPECTIVE. A POINT I WANT TO MAKE, IT IS INTERESTING THAT AFTER MERYL STREEP SHARES HER POLITICAL OPINION, FOX NEWS THROWS FECES AT THE WALL. AND THEN YOU HAVE MATTHEW MCCONNAUGHHAY SAYING SOMETHING THEY PROBABLY AGREE WITH. AND THEY ARE LIKE LOOK AT THAT. >> ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT. >>IT'S JUST HILARIOUS. >> LET ME TELL YOU THIS, THE OLDER YOU GET THE MORE RULES THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET YOU TO FOLLOW. YOU JUST GOT IT KEEP ON LIVING. L-I-V-I-N. >>I LIKE HIM AS AN ACTOR. I WILL GO SEE HIS MOVIES. EVERYTHING IS FINE. ANA, YOU ARE SO RIGHT. WITH MERYL STREEP AND OTHERS THEY ARE LIKE FECES ON THE WALL. BUT THE MINUTE THEY GET A STAR WHO IS OPEN TO CONSERVATIVES THEY ARE LIKE WE LOVE HOLLYWOOD. LET'S TAKE A QUICK BREAK. LET'S PUT IT BACK IN.
