=== Donald Trump's Presidency (01:55) ===

[00:00:00]  Most of America thought that he botched the Clinton email scandal.
[00:00:04]  All the Democrats thought he said too much, and all the Republicans thought he didn't do enough.
[00:00:08]  So he had the confidence of almost no one.
[00:00:11]  Why, when you talk to Democrats, do they still believe that there is collusion?
[00:00:15]  It's sour grapes over the election.
[00:00:17]  The whole Russia thing, I think, has been propagated by people who are upset they lost the election.
[00:00:22]  They've sunk their teeth into something.
[00:00:24]  They think they'll eventually find something.
[00:00:26]  But everything is sort of built upon a huge myth as far as I'm concerned.
[00:00:32]  Good evening.
[00:00:39]  There are reports tonight that President Nixon has ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire the special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox.
[00:00:47]  Scholars are comparing this to Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre.
[00:00:51]  What do you make of those comparisons?
[00:00:52]  Well, I think that's ridiculous.
[00:00:54]  This is just the most preposterous pretext.
[00:00:57]  This is an investigator who is investigating the White House.
[00:01:02]  And he was just fired by the White House.
[00:01:06]  This doesn't happen in the United States, except on October 20th, 1973, when Richard Nixon filed Archibald Cox.
[00:01:14]  People see this as a real threat.
[00:01:16]  I think we've taken a step away from rule of law toward the rule of a small group of people.
[00:01:21]  And I also want to say that as a result of that, I feel vindicated, because I said that Donald Trump had become president, and he has become president, President Nixon.
[00:01:29]  It just harkens back, I think, to some of the most tainted actions by President Nixon.
[00:01:35]  Let's remember that we face a looming constitutional crisis, very much like happened in 1973, the Midnight Massacre.
[00:01:46]  This episode has very much the feel of that chapter in our history, one that we should not repeat.
[00:01:54]  Cox, Archibald Cox, fire him!
