he s say iing. they are factually untrue and we re sort of reporting it as a debate. it s just not a debate. so why is it, though, that despite everything you re pointing out and the nose at the top of your column on the daily beast today, you look at the polls, listen, he s still number one. americans don t care. yeah, and i think it s because, in part, we re preaching this debate. we re saying this is a part of a question. is it possible that these things are happening? when we re talking about the emotional truth of these instead of the actual truth that s happening. we re raising his profile. when we raise his profile, he gets more media time and we attack him as he would say when what we re doing is fact checking him, what comes out of that is this us against the media. he ll use that as
car. we have the license plate. we have been run ining it it. they have been coming down to our facility. but we have our protesters and they have been trying to entice us the whole time. so we believe and we stand behind our belief that the minneapolis police department are not protecting us and therefore, they stand with racist white supremacists who want to destroy a peaceful movement all over the country when things like this have happened. and minneapolis we have not rioted or burnt anything. even after we have been shot at and injured by white supremacists and police did not but begin to mace our protesters, we have not taken to streets angry. we re a peaceful group of all nationalities and religions and all different points of views. we all come together to stand in one righteous truth. we want justice for jamar. we re going to wait for
is that he has said some things we now know are totally untrue. this idea that there were thousands of people cheering the death of people on 9/11. it s factually incorrect. . we know this is incorrect. but the biggest problem with all of this is we re complicit in this. we re questioning as a media if it s our role to talk about this it. it isn t. it s our role to say these are lies. it s our role to say these things can t be possible and did not take place. in my story, we wrote about how media covered this tweet he wrote that 84% of white murdered americans are murdered by black people. this is the opposite of the truth. 15% is the truth. and you see stories in the hill. here s a headline. donald trump takes heat for tweet about black murder rates. nowhere does it say it s fictitious. so these are fictitious things
trump defies all of the normal political rules. his people standby him when he says this is the truth. and to be honest, i don t know that any of us could know what e he saw from his apartment on 9/11. but it will be interesting to see cruz really take him on especially in iowa. we have expecting cruz to rise. he s got a really robust fundraising operation. so far he s take an light touch with donald trump that you re starting to see him draw policy contrast. for example, on the database of american muslims. cruz saying he does not agree with trump on that. it could be a really interesting debate as we head sbo the holidays. thank you both. ben, i can t help but think of the great stephen colbert and truthiness. thank you, great writing. major cities across the united states now retraining
both so much. coming up next, donald trump making a new claim about what he says. does the truth matter when it comes to the republican front runner. we ll talk to him, one of our political reporters. also we ll take you to chicago. this police officer has been charged with first-degree murder. what just happened in court as that city is bracing for the release of the video. woman: my mom and i have the same hands. same eyes. same laugh. and since she s had moderate alzheimer s disease, i ve discovered we have the same fighting spirit, too. that s why i asked her doctor about new once-a-day namzaric™. vo: new namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer s disease
