leadership positions but is not going to be there trying to make the commission successful. the washington post s phillip bump thank you very much. tomorrow we re joined by carol lenog and phillip rutker. the two stories we framed at the top, two strains, that s covid-19 and the january 6th insurrection, that s what it was, and in both cases, what you re seeing is massive groups of people, including our leaders and hosts on fox and other trump networks and their desire to really deny the truth in the name of their cult leader, donald trump. coming up, new cases of havana syndrome are popping up among u.s. diplomats in austria. intelligence officials are intensifying efforts to figure out what or who is behind the
we said he was. and many other republicans and democrats and independence said he was this dangerous. it seemed like hyperbole but it wasn t. this was even worse than what we thought. among the most jaw dropping of all, it comes from the washington post s book i alone can fix it. according to excerpts, general mark milley was so worried about the prospect of trump trying to use the military as part after coup attempt the general compared his rhetoric to adolf hitler s rhetoric. this is a reichstag moment, the gospel of the fuhrer. trump criticized mill yel saying if i were going to do a coup, one of the last people i would want to do it with is general mark milley. but to you, david, how do you
tucker carlson, how he became the voice for white grievance in the u.s. and just how far he ll go to spin his faux outrage. the post reports on carlson s affluent upbringing and private school education. that s when we learn about his first grade teacher mrs. raymond who he has described as a parody of earth mother liberalism who wore long indian print skirts. carlson said she would sob theatrically at her desk. and she would exclaim that the world is so unfair. he s bashed her saying mrs. raymond never did teach us. my father had to hire a tutor to get me through phonics. well, the washington post reached out to mrs. raymond. mariana raymond told a post reporter that she never sobbed at her desk, that she did not wear an indian skirt. she says she did not advocate her political views in the classroom. and remember that tutor that tucker s dad had to hire? mrs. raymond says it was her.
plai explain all of this to us. from washington post s carol leonnig and phillip rucker. describing how general milley and the other joint chiefs discussed a plan to resign. one by one, they were going to do it. one by one. they were going to do that, rather than carry out the orders they consider to be illegal, they considered to be dangerous, they consider to be ill advised. like i said, it is stunning. so, listen. you may want to dial out and not tune into this. and this is our jobs to cover it. we are trying to inform you, in the meantime, between elections. you need to pay attention to this because this is what was happening in our government. you see what that led to. an insurrection. a big lie. and who knows what, next? so, sit and pay pay attention to this. because for the first time in modern-american history, the nation s top-military officer was prepared for a showdown with the commander in chief, because he feared a coup attempt. i can t believe i m even saying that. af
of trump books out right now. this is i alone can fix it. and carole leonnig and phillip rucker are two pulitzer-prize-winning washington post reporters. and what they write is that milley, general milley, was so shaken by trump s behavior, the big lie, after the election, that he and other top-administration officials got together. and informally planned how they would stop a coup, if trump and his allies attempted it. and this included the chiefs of the air army, navy, air force, marines. and just to talk about the language. i just want to say, milley is extensively quoted, in this book. he, clearly, cooperated with it. milley viewed trump, quote, as the classic-authoritarian leader, with nothing to lose. the authors write. and then, he goes on to say to
