Chris Matthews, so many people have been numbed by the madness of Big Don,

that when he says that Abraham Lincoln blew it in the Civil War and he should have negotiated with slaveholders.

It just goes past. I mean, seriously, Nicki Haley said something inane, insane about the Civil War and we we're still hearing about it

we're still reading about it. Donald Trump attacks Abraham Lincoln

says that he screwed up by not caving to the slaveholders and it just sort of floats by.

He says mad crazy things every day and the media for some reason so nubed by it they don't sit there and emphasize it.

Here yesterday I'm sorry here's another moment where we just have to stop.

The music has to stop. The music has to stop and people need to focus. They had

their great nuts and crunch berries last hour so they're listening to us in

this hour Chris so let's just say it they heard it

Donald Trump's attorney just argued in court that Donald Trump could assassinate a political rival on orders from

still team six that he gave to seal team six to assassinate a political rival and his president of the United States, unless Mike Johnson's

Congress impeached him, he would have immunity from prosecution for political assassinations of

American rivals. That's what Donald Trump admitted in court.

Yeah, it depends on the context.

I mean, it was outrageous.

And I have to tell you, I grew up in the Cold War, a little older than you, Joe,

and I have to tell you, when we grew up in the Cold War we wondered

how far could Soviet dictators go with their authority how many people could they

knock off in the back room and up through Stalin certainly and maybe Bulganon maybe Khrushchev we figured they had the

power to kill their enemies get rid of them we thought that was what a dictator was that's

what they're describing as the presidential authority under their reading of the Constitution, the ability to knock off opponents.
