again. the media went one way. now i have the i.g. report that takes it in a new direction. how do you read it? what i m curious about is whether or not the mainstream media led by the washington post and big networks will apologize to president trump for smearing him with slandering him and alleging and perpetuating the myth that he unleashed the force of the united states government to clear lafayette square so he could strut across in a narcissist particular way and hold up a bible and have a photo op. it wasn t true. the park police and the others law enforcement were acting pre-conceived plan to free the st. john s church that had been the subject of arson and was burned by those protestors. the park department had the plans, put the fencing around the church. had nothing to do with the fact that the president strolled across lafayette park once it was cleared to hold up the
there s this idea of forcing businesses to check and passports and that sort of thing. why are people so confused, do you think? they re confused because the chief medical officer there has given 19 different explanations of the mask starting with the pandemic. they re not necessary. you don t really need to wear them. that was based on desire to ration the masks for health officials. it wasn t true. over time, he s pushed wearing multiple masks, wearing goggles, now wearing masks for children even though we know children aren t susceptible to this disease at all and they re not they shouldn t be wearing the masks. this administration has an incoherent science policy. fauci has no credibility. he s got a long history of bungling public health issues dating back to anthrax and aids and now this. that s why people are confused. the government s messaging is a mess.
the story. a lot of people build themselves up to be, like, the great heroes of their stories. he would make sure he was so self-deprecating. he was so self-deprecating. and on his final day on the show, kelly remembering their 43 steps together every day. you will stop in front of dressing room one and shout at the top of your lungs, oh, yeah, harrison ford, take a look at what i get every day, whether i want it or not and god love him, i swear to god, harrison ford has no idea who i am. and that very first walk with regis and his gift. i was terrified. i was absolutely filled with fear and you grabbed my hand and we walked down the hallway. we came out in the door and the audience leapt to their feet and they were cheering and screaming and you did something for me, i ve never told you this, but you pulled me in and you said, you see that, sweetie, that s all for you. all these people are here for you. well, they were. it wasn t true. i look forward to the next
didn t hurt a bit, did it? reporter: sondland s story nds changed markedly over time. today he blames that on the fact he s been denied access to key documents and notes by the state department. democrats call that obstruction. the state department, norah, says it wasn t true. o donnell: nancy, thank you. y,esident trump sought to defend himself today after these hours of testimony from sondland. the president did it quoting what he said on a phone call. itt s noteworthy is it s the very same day congress was notified about the whistleblower complaint.norats tonht from the white house. reporter: president trump retched enough of the sondland ofstimony to hear what he wanted to hear. heready? you have the cameras rolling? reporter: sticking with the olript, he declared himself clear of any wrongdoing. that means it s all over. reporter: holding his own handwritten notes, mr. trump
what about-ism, to not answer the question but to point to something else, from the cold war, the russians would say, but you lynched black people, when we say you don t have freedom in your country. so part of the reason there are no guardrails is donald trump himself is the disinformationist in chief. the promulgator of false narratives like no one else. what that does is give s permission to people to do that. once upon a time, the president s words were golden, and basically now it s open season. that is a problem, right? the president s words lack power. again, i would make some distinctions. the ideas that the dnc server is in ukraine is wacky. the president of the united states is believing this. but to kay s point, to false narratives, republican voters were told for two and a half years, there s this dastardly treacherous conspiracy tweens the president and russia. it would never seem plausible. it wasn t true, and then as they see this, well, it s just all never mind
