russians, you name it. at what point, asang is not some defender of freedom, he s an antiu.s. and pro-russia whatever you want to call it. i think we start back on july 23rd when both i and ball krugman wrote an article in the new york times calling wikileaks out i made media statement calling them a russian laundry mat. they are a wholly own subsidiary of russian intelligence and they have no problem releasing things in timed releases that benefit only two entities, donald trump and vladimir putin. there has never been a document released from russian intelligence or anybody that s opposed to julian asang. 48 hours after donald trump makes an amazing, stunning historic lie to the american public where he says that a former president of the united
the president to do? he wasn t asking open questions, he made declarative statement that the former president wiretapped him. as you all know the president a knee owe fight to politics. he s been doing this a little over a year and i think a lot of things that he says you guys sometimes take literally. sometimes he doesn t have 27 lawyers and staff looking at what he does. rosa, shouldn t he have 27 lawyers and staff looking at what he does? he certainly should. there are a couple of ironies here s. one is this wiretapping allegation, either he s nuts and it s completely crazy or he is somehow deemly aware of something going on in the justice department in which he or one of his crohn niz is being investigated for something criminal and he shouldn t have access. if that s the case he obviously should not have access to wiretap transcript and the justice department has not denied the possibility that there is some kind of ongoing
but because he s president can turn that not only into policy but into news coverage and send report rds chasing after whether or not barack obama managed to wiretap trump tower? that s exactly what he s doing and what s so dangerous about it, he s mainstreaming many of these conspiracy theories and i think people who are people who follow the media, people who read more certify vashsly, no one could possibly believe this. i cannot tell you the number of times democrats ask me if some of these things had merit. so people need to understand that even if you re a democrat, if you re not someone who is always in touch with what s going on, you re working a lot, you could be susceptible hearing the repetition of needs conspiracy theories and the prevalence of them, you could be susceptible to believing them. that s dangerous for left leaning voters. i think people should take this
they are imbedded in the white house and trump is getting his stuff from the deepest corners of the alt-right media so he s taken these typed up when he accused obama of wiretapping it was breitbart who typed up the right wing radio rant. i just have to say conspiracy theory, we might be too kind. conspiracy theory to me is someone who s in over their head, went down a rabbit hole, to me, you know, trump is just this pathological liar and he s shown himself to be that all the time and for the press the challenge is you have to say that. journalism is saying what s in front of you every day and what we see every day is a liar. massive tin securities who is adopted his own reality and that has to be how he s portrayed. for the media is the media chases these rabbits down these rabbit holes. donald trump tweets something
more seriously than they really are. the other thing i would say about this is, trump on the one hand i do think does he is spouse to some of these theories because he has a huge ego. he wants to believe things that stroke that ego. i think he is susceptible and being manipulated by people in his administration. i ve worked in administrations and there are those people around you who will read your weaknesses if you re a governor or president, they ll read your weaknesses, certain staffers who have their own agenda and they will take those weaknesses and reinforce and exploit those weaknesses to advance their agenda. i believe that s happening to donald trump. i want to go to you on this naveed. you have both this inside and outside the administration. they are using them to advance breitbart s ajane d. you have outside interest like russia who can read them too. have a secret weird meeting with julian assange who left and
