Silent while he remains so loud . What do americas fourstar generals know . What do the retired generals know . What do trumps friends like sean hannity know and what do they say in private and why wont they tell the rest of us . Jeffrey goldbergs story for the atlantic brings the questions back to the forefront. Trump said americans who died in war are losers and suckers. Thats the headline. The story is worse. Trump world denounced the story and many news outlets focused their followups on trumps denials. You see all those headlines. They led with the denials. Why . Its easy to do. Its kind of automatic to do in journalism. Why confer credibility where it doesnt belong . I mean fool me once, shame on you, fool me 20,000 times and well, shame on all of us. Why keep acting like things are normal after 20,000 false and misleading claims. This week the lies continued, especially about covid and ways that were disturbing. The president said hospitalizations and deaths from covid19 have de
Virus. This is not how donald trump wanted to begin the formal launch of the general election campaign. The president who prides himself on directing the public narrative from his tweets to his press conferences finds himself on defense in a story dominating the week. Now one sign that this is not what trump wanted came late today as he lashed out at report heres were pressing him on the scandal. Hes finding the Biden Campaign wielding the new cash advantage, dropping new ads going on the attack. I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down. While donald trump was telling america the virus was nothing to worry about, he knew it was deadly. Its also more deadly than even your strenuous flus. This is deadly stuff. And now the 190,000 americans are dead. Our economy crushed. Our kids not safe in school, and trump knew it all along. I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down. Joe biden going even further in his own words, saying trumps disregard for huma
Vossoughian. Morning joe starts right now. Now we knew. We know donald trump knew the virus was deadly and airborne. And we know he knew millions would get sick and die. He knew it wasnt just older people who would be killed by the virus. He knew early on this would be the greatest crisis america had faced in decades. Members of Donald Trumps staff knew in january a plague was coming to infect america. That half a million americans could die. That millions more would likely lose their job. That the economy would be ravaged and that those Staff Members, those Staff Members had responsibility to warn him and they did. But donald trump chose instead to lie to you. And to lie to your family. And to lie to over 300 million americans about the storm that was coming to lay upon this planned. Land. And even as he lied month after month, his staff remained sil t silent. You see, staying in Good Standing with donald trump ended up being more important to them than saving your life. Now, six mont
Laura coates. You were developing insight with me before we came out of the commercial. Were supposed to do what were told to do by the police. True. Period. However, he is not unique. The idea that there are people of color in the country who get afraid the more they comply the worse it will get. In a process where they think the cops are out to get them. Right or wrong, it can be in the mind of many. It was in his mind. And look what they did to him. Are you kidding . He said i didnt get in the car. They offered me a ride to the hospital. I know why. Look what happened up to this point in time. Wrist broken. Come into the car, the idea of that, and the statement of he forgave them. Just the idea. I hope people realize this idea of fear of the police is not because theres some boogy man urn the bed. This is Learned Behavior over interactions and multigenerations. The vestage of the 13th amendment. We cant look at these things in a vacuum. When you look at it in a vacuum and say all yo
About all this. Tweet us using the askdon. Hillary clinton wont say it but let me say for you for the record right now that Hillary Clinton is running for president of the United States. Hillary clinton is running for president of the United States. The only people who dont seem to realize it are the media. Most anyone else will tell you they thought she was running again. In her book she lays out how to deal with things like benghazi, saying it is more of a reason to run. Number two, her interviews. Sitting down with women, a key voting block back in 2012, if not the key voting block. And number three, her speeches. The clintons may have left the white house broke. But they are far from it now. So those speeches keep her visible. Someone else pays for them and she gets to test and hone her voice for the campaign stump. For the purposes of this hour we wont play smantic games with you. We will assume like just about everybody else out there that Hillary Clinton is in fact running. Lets
