“When we lose our core legitimacy, we lose our democracy. That's where we really lose our democracy, because we no longer believe in it,” Sullivan said. He added that if that happens, people will lose faith in the system and begin to seek democracy. A “strong man” as president.
Melber interrupted Sullivan and pointed out, “I think you're making a valid point, but it sounds a little bit both ways.”
He acknowledged that there was a problem with Democrats' “overreaction to Mr. Trump,” but said that in response to the controversial 2000 trial that handed the presidency to George W. He claimed that there was no “reaction.”
At the time, the Supreme Court concluded the recount of votes in Florida for the presidential election, in which Mr. Bush defeated Mr. Al Gore, and later certified the decision.

Sullivan retorted: “What's good about MSNBC is being able to actually think about both sides, weigh the arguments, and have a constructive argument for that side while respecting both sides. ”
“I wouldn’t do that,” he said. “I’m always advertising!”
“What you just said describes my show,” Melber said. “This week I asked Mr. Trump's lawyer. Steve Bannon has appeared on my show. I've had people from the Trump White House.”
“I'm watching MSNBC,” Sullivan retorted, but was interrupted by the MSNC host.
“You explained to me the goals that I'm trying to achieve, and I think that's a compliment,” Melber said on “The Beat with Ali Melber,” which airs weekdays at 6 p.m.
Maher interrupted the two before things got too heated.
“Let's get along!” Maher said with a laugh. “It's the first show of the year, let's not hurt each other's faces.”
