>> so the election lies! pushed by the trump campaign after the solar four seasons total landscaping in november 2020, has only kept growing ever since. joining me here to talk about that, one of the producers on four total documentary, olivier nuzzi. the washington correspondent for new york magazine, along with nbc political analyst kimberly analyst, store analyst -- for it's great to have you both with. us the start of that moment there when you look at the time when rudy giuliani was standing there, peddling the allegations of voter fraud in and the election was stolen just as the networks were calling the election for joe biden. it almost seems comical. and you want to laugh at what you are seeing there. but given how this is now resonated among republicans. what is that moment in time mean for where we are as a country? >> one where you can look at it as a major break with reality. the talk about the wheels being off at the trump warehouse. they said that they were wheels. so four seasons was not a breaking point. because things have been insane if the election had been all about conspiracies. it's been that way for a long time. the administration thought about conspiracies donald trump's entire political career. it was all about conspiracies. but it was this kind of formal, moment, where they officially meet conspiracies. and insanity. their strategy going forward. what was followed -- would follow that was the insurrection. even though this was this hilariously weird historic event at this landscaping company, by mistake, or poor planning. it's still -- there is a kind of grim news to the whole thing. knowing what came after! >> typically to that point when you look at where the polling is today on this. some polls suggest as much as 68% of republicans believe the election was stolen. they believe the big lie. they it's even higher for people who use fox news of their main source of information or who trusted. i think it's in the low 80s. how you begin to even counter the big lie when you have that many people buying into it! >> it's difficult, to be sure, this was amplified by donald trump and his campaign. but it goes back so much farther. you have to remember that this is the idea of the big lie. why was it able to take hold, is because decades, lawmakers -- particularly republicans have used this idea of protecting against fraud. fraud has never existed, it's never been proven to make voting more difficult. to pass laws with everything from stripping voters names from polls. from requiring idea requirements. we don't really know it's more difficult for black people, brown people or poor people. to get there in the tenth vote democratic. that's been happening for a long time. you have the stripping of the voting right act would have an even more. sort of that was the kindling, were donald trump's big lies were able to set a fire and really lead to this. so it's a slow build up. and that's why it's so much harder to fight back against now. >> in the months leading up to this fateful day, at four seasons total landscaping. the trump campaign was -- trump was sort of throwing out different reasons why he would eventually lose. once it became clear to him and i remember talking to advisers on the house campaign -- once he started to accept it a possibility he took a really long time, given what the poll said, and how things were going in the country with the coronavirus -- he started to kind of and things up and spit ball about things that were going wrong. who was taking the election from him? and the fact that fraud was forthcoming to give himself an excuse in the event that he did lose. >> if you talk about conspiracy theories there's one moment in the documentary that i think is very foreshadowing. let me play for you, it's when marie starts receiving phone calls and messages, and one of them was a conspiracy theory, watch. >> the things they're saying about us is amazing. i can't even believe. this >> okay guys wait to hear this one. there's a big conspiracy theory, we are burning ballots across the street at the crematorium. >> kimberly that seems like a harbinger of the conspiracy theories that we are now inundated with around this election. because of moments like that! >> absolutely. when there is no uniform source of information, information sources are diversified. with so much misinformation, it's just being fueled into this election. and the past several elections. that is exactly what happens. people believe what they want to believe. they believe even farfetched things as long as it confirms their own biases. and that's where you see that sort of thing run wild. and we are still seeing that today. people are sort of dug into their corners. they are believing whatever supports their side. >> kimberly atkins, -- and biloxi thank you so much at home for watching and keeping the conversation going. online using the hashtag four seasons total. so please join in, i mean all room within, goodnight. goodnight ♪♪ ♪♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event. new jerseys are here! there you go. all-american club™?
