A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. Straight about the steel industry. U. S. Steel Just Announced that theyre building six new steel mills. If you care about the truth, nope, thats not the truth. The only thing u. S. Steel has announced is that it will restart two blast furnaces, restart two blast furnaces, not six new steel mills. And its probably no coincidence the president seems to be especially truth challenged when it comes to russia. And this tweet from july 24th, he famously claims russia will be pushing for democrats in the midterms because, according to him, they dont want trump. But i want you to listen closely. This is Vladimir Putin himself coming from his own mouth, he said at the Press Conference after the disastrous summit in helsinki. President putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do
that . Translator yes, i did, yes, i did because he talked about bringing
A recap of the days news. The Washington Post by the way who are doing a lot of heavy lifting, cataloging all the false and misleading claims President Trump has made since he took the oath of office. His complete disregard for the truth is shocking. It probably shouldnt be. After all, he told us this himself. And just remember what youre seeing and what youre reading is not whats happening. So why dont we take a moment, shall we, to break down just a few of the president s most recent lies . Just this week, he again threatened to shut down the federal government, to shut it down on october 1st if congress doesnt give him the money for his Favorite Campaign promise, you know what that is, to build a wall on the southern border. We started building our wall, im so proud of it. We started. We have 1. 6 billion. And weve already started. You saw the pictures yesterday. I said, what a thing of beauty. Well, i dont know, mexico u. S. Steel Just Announced that theyre building six new steel
other channels? i watched a lot of that interview earlier, and he did not say that the president was out of line and he did say though that he had new information that was widely publicized, including the don jr meeting in trump tower. i think this has led him to believe that there has been some sort of conclusion, not necessarily with the president, and maybe the conspiracy that involved americans, that needs to be dealt with and uncovered by mueller. as for the president stripping his clearance, look, i don t think any of us believe that a president should use the power of his office to retaliate against his political opponents. that is un-american. this is not something we associate with the american president. this is like nixon s enemies list, except for sarah sanders goes to the podium and reads the name. and if we had a congress doing
that s the big difference. i want to take you and our viewers back a little bit. this is from back in the day. you testifying to congress about nixon s enemies list. this is from nbc. here it is. as i have submitted in documents, other agencies were involved in seeking politically embarrassing information on individuals who were thought to be enemies of the white house. i might also add that in my possession is a rather very much down the lines of what you re talking about is a memorandum that was requested by me to prepare a meeps to attack the enemies of the white house. there was also maintained what was called an enemies list, which is rather extensive and continually being updated. there were talk to me about that. was that gasps? that was there was a silence in the room.
on president nixon s enemies list. yes, i was. give me your reaction of what we have seen from the trump white house. is history repeating itself? no, it s far worse than anything that occurred during the nixon administration. nixon did not attack the press as a group. he did not do anything which intended to incite violence against the press. he did many things which were inappropriate, and i think he would have been and should have been impeached if he had not resigned. but donald trump is a far more evil and dangerous man, and he is, i think, trying to intimidate the press. he is en couraging his followers to conduct violence against the press. the great shame is that the rest of the republican party, which spoke out against nixon, is, with a few exceptions, not doing what they should be doing, which is defending the constitution and siding with the rest of us and saying this man has to go. so, you know, i guess part of
