everybody needs to step back for a moment and remember that donald trump's campaign used to be headed by paul manafort who was up to his knees in ukrainian corruption. so irony is dead in the era of trump. but for donald trump to be concerned about iranian corruption is highly ironic. and all of this is an attempt to turn the attention from the sitting president of the united states had a phone conversation that, according to the "wall street journal," included his attempt eight separate times to pressure the ukrainian president into digging up dirt on his political opponent and to work with his private attorney. this is where i think we need to focus. this is what congress needs to focus on. this is what i think that the public needs to focus on this. because i do think you have a president who has become absolutely emboldened, he believes that he can push any narrative, he believes that he will never be held accountable. he knows that the democrats have never held him accountable, the republicans will never break with him. he understands that it's easy to manipulate the media. but this actu

paul manafort? guest: this is the irony, right? donald trump, who once had paul manafort as the chairman of his campaign, is now trying to make an issue of ukrainian corruption. paul manafort was one of the most corrupt political operators deep in the and worst aspects of american and ukrainian politics. so there is that irony. but to the point about legitimacy and everything, this is where i think that everybody needs to take a deep breath and step back. right now thes president of the united states, he won that election. you may not be happy about it, but there will not be a scenario in which he is declared a and judges are removed from their positions. that will never happen. i realize that was the suggestion. but i think we need to focus on what are the facts, what do we know, and what can be done about this? again, folks, if the story turns burger,e a nothing burger, let's find out about it. let's look at the report, let's see what was the transcript. donald trump said yesterday, yea h, i did talk to the president of ukraine about going af
