others have told me something i find really interesting is that they like when he lies because it makes the elites go crazy. oh, my god. i ve had people say, it s like people like you running around with your head cut off trying to fact-check him. he like that because we hate those people. they make our lives miserable. i know he lies but he put gorsuch on the bench, kavanaugh on the bench. so my job as a fact-checker as a journalist isn t to tell those people they re wrong. that s nuts. that s irrational political calculation. and some liked nixon until the day he waved good-bye. daniel dale, thank you for being here. still ahead the salacious document that started it all. the leak of the dossier in the early days of the trump presidency kicked off the president s most extreme attacks on the media, his war on law enforcement and his ongoing distrust of the intelligence community. but it turns out the document s claims have been right about an eerie number of things. we ll
of what our founders believed was important. a very high bar to get to a convention. you have to build consensus and then once you have a convention, you have to have a super majority that says yeah, we think we need to do. this so people running around like chickens with their head cut off have one or two motives. one, trying to raise money because they don t agree with this. if they understand the process they wouldn t be against it. or number two, socialist marxist which is the hard left saying don t do this because you re going to undermine all the socialism we put into our country. it s not about undermining socialism, not taking care of people, it s about restoring freedom, liberty, growth. think about what happened in terms of our country s growth after world war ii. there was limited government and magnificent growth. 6, 7, 8% per year. what would that do if we saw that again in our country?

this bill does just that. by making it worse, you know, it s hard for me to imagine how the moderate republicans could vote for it because this bill now is a much it s a terrible bill. it s going to hurt millions of people. it s really going to be a matter of life and death for millions of people, and it s unacceptable, and it s morally wrong. do you think i mean from a political perspective, do you think it benefits democrats politically for them to take another run at this? you know, it s hard to really figure out what benefits who politically. i think what s important right now is that the public understand that democrats are fighting to make sure that they have health care, affordable, accessible health care. i think the republicans are in total chaos. you know we never know what they re going to do from day to day. so there s the ahca, but then there s just the kind of ping pong, chicken with its head cut
you know we never know what they re going to do from day to day. so there s the ahca, but then there s just the kind of ping pong, chicken with its head cut off effect of just this activity that it s never clear what direction it s going, what you re doing. are they threatening you? are they not threatening you? how do you make sense of what s going on in the place that you work, the united states congress? well, i tell you, these are very extraordinary times and it s hard to make sense of much of anything that the republicans are up to. but i have to tell you what s important is that people in the country are really waking up to what is taking place here in washington, d.c. the resistance is building. we have seen many of donald trump s initiatives halted dead in its tracks. the ban, the muslim ban, for example, the court decision on sanctuary cities. and so the resistance is working. what we have to do is make sure that people stay organized and
