your heart so that's the way we begin the story of trying to analyze these strange trends and the untruth so i get to go into greater depth in the book to talk about overgeneralization and the cognitive distortions because i want people to get over the behavioral therapy basically it's a way to figure out how to argue fairly with yourself but also a good way to argue with each other as well. god for bed and political discourse if we would take a movement - - a moment to we labeling our catastrophize thing would vastly improve the quality of our political discourse. but i see that as better argumentation so the final product of the book was such a pleasure and he will talk about the more disturbing and encouraging findings we found along the way. >> good evening at such a pleasure to be here after i graduated from college in 1985 i lived in the kennedy warren building for two years i love living in this town i love to be back thanks for coming out tonight to listen to us talk. people think and narrative and stories so i think it is helpful when people tell a story in multiple ways so he ga

you have actually fact checking team who were caught and put the number on the number of lies, untruthsm e nts lies, untruths and misleading statements that stack up from the trump administration month by month, i think you are well into the thousands now. 6000, something like that. is that right? yeah. there are some journalists and i'm thinking for example the former editor of the wall streetjournal who says in his opinion, journalists need to be much more careful about the use of the word lie, because he says he is that word, to not only know that what is being said is fake or wrong but you also have to know about the intent. well, i actually agree with him on that and that has been our policy. we have been very cautious in our use of the word lie. we have used it sometimes we don't use it all the time. when we have been able to document that what the president said, that the president knows that what saying false, then we have used the word lie, that he knows it to be, to other falsehood. how can you know what he intends? a great example, talk about the meeting with the russians in

and in our country, from the trivial to the truly dangerous, it is the range and regularity of the untruths we now see that should be cause for profound alarm, as george orwell warned, the further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it. in america, we do not pay respect to the powerful. in fact, we question the powerful most ardently. to do so is our birthright and requirement of our citizenship. and so, we know well that no matter how powerful, no person, not even the president, will ver have dominion over objective reality.

the establishment and the media were after ronald reagan , both of them suffered from untruth.but it took a guy and marketing to identify fake news. it took a guy and marketing to get americans to come along with him, to understand the untruths that were being printed and in my book "liars, leakers", i took a talk about one of the elections i was in for six weeks against hillary clinton and i got out of it. there were several people who ended up in a primary , but i remember coming out of the dairy, for those of you who don't know me, i worked in a dairy in upstate new york which is different from where i work in midtown manhattan these days . when i went to a dairy and i came out and one of my people said to me in the car, jenny, there was already an article about what happens at the dairy farm and i'm like really? what did it say? and it said nothing that i said but they alleged that i said next, y and z and i remember sitting in the car. i didn't realize that it was fake news. but i said how can i possibly run against someone where the fix is in, they're saying i said things

as all of the fact checkers have pointed out, the number of untruths that trump has been telling in thes skyrocketed. there's no cost associated with him lying and he's just -- you know, he's doing it with abandon right now. >> speaking of untruths, i want to get to this. we are following breaking news right now. president trump once again defending a shockingly racist campaign video. he tweeted, saying, and i'm quoting the president now, all i'm doing is just telling the truth. our fact check revealed he is not. let's go to cnn's tom foreman. he has been comparing the vit yo's claim to reality. what are you finding? >> reporter: wolf, despite the president's insistence he is telling the truth in this, his team is playing it very fast and loose with the facts in the run-up to the midterm and especially in this video. using an actual court appearance by convicted cop killer luis bracamontes, the video gets this right. the mexican man who entered the united states illegally said he would like to kill more police officers. >> kill more. >> reporter: but then it goes factually off the rails

. >> yeah, we should be careful in our own speech to distinguish untruths where he just doesn't knowhe's talking about and the actual lying. and there's plenty of lying. if you look at the totalitarian states, soviet union, nazi germany, part of the method of the totalitarians was to obliterate the very concept of truth to say basically whatever the person who has the gun in his hand says is the truth at that particular point of time. and that's, in fact, precisely the method being described if you read george orwell's "1984." and there is this eerie parallel in which trump basically, i think the strategy of trump's lies or untruths or misleading statements is just to create a kind of blizzard effect so that at some point people sort of feel defenseless in the face of it because there's just too much to unpack at any given day. now there are however many per day, seven, it would be better -- >> 30. >> 30 per day. >> if there were 60 per day because those of us in the media couldn't keep up and people in the public stop to care. and that's the key point. people become apthetsic to the

about either election tampering or -- or untruths about democrats of various kinds or this caravan, then i think -- i don't think that's been the case as much as it is today tleecht in my lifetime. >> in fantasyland and even in your discussions recent, you also point out that the left has wandered into fantasyland quite often. do you fear that happening too. >> i think we -- the bullet whether democrat or republican is undermining the sense of legislate macy of our democracy that that didn't happen. i think the fact that they are not -- they now have in big lever of power of running the house in washington will serve to keep democrats and exactic voters enskonsed in reality and the reality based kpun where they have been more -- much more than republicans the last 20 years as republicans have gone o rails. >> but do you think that the country. >> yeah. >> is hungering for a memg of people who want to unify us? or are they looking for resistance. >> it would be nice to say unity. so i do think if you ask people is there too little unity and too much divisiveness, 83% would answer yes

kind of untruthful the sales of weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china sovereignty and security interests that beijing's sees china and taiwan as two parts of a whole two chinese entities same culture ethnicity same languages with two separate governments communist capitalist the end goal is to reunite into one state there are differences of course currently preventing that and about one hundred kilometers of c. that separate the two and trump always a fan of sticking it to the chinese he's been floating his warships right between the two china's eyes in one thousand we have expressed our concerns to the us signed the taiwan issue concerns china's sovereignty and territorial integrity and is the most important and sensitive issue in china u.s. relations. for starters how about you express your concerns about these important and sensitive issues to someone who cares a little more because that ain't. trump we worry about. work. i don't worry about things. let's be great never worrying about anything unfortunately others are there are those in china who believe that americ

we have been travelling around with a camper van untruth in order africa together and would like to share his experience with other people so by that we came up with the idea of this truck that gives us like freedom like but give us a lot more comfortable than a normal. open their surf over to a little over a year ago after using a hydraulic system to convert their truck into a living space that can be expanded to over seventy square meters and signs. that rooms are upstairs and there are communal spaces downstairs. well in this area we have the toilets we've got ocean view has a. really nice so i let and then we shower so we have a shower. we. massage. ramping at its absolute best with all the necessary amenities for the twenty first century. so long as you know for floor of the truck we have a five there will rooms for we bunk bags and when we get. a single room with. the bunk beds it's a very comfortable there is wife by us. nice wing those nice you. all this does come at a price five hundred euros per person per week but that includes a freshly prepared breakfast each morning and the

. >> we believe other witnesses were untruthful before our committee. >> reporter: cohen's testimony now may conflict with the testimony given by the president's son, donald trump jr. and president trump is at the g20 today. he was supposed to be meeting with russian president vladimir putin. he has canceled that meeting now ja a change in the president's schedule. >>> speaking of those actions in the ukraine, breaking news coming in about those tensions between russia and ukraine. ukraine's president has just announced all russian men between the age of 16 and 60 are now banned from entering his country. he said the move is aimed at preventing russians from forming private armies on ukrainian soil. it follows that clash you saw right there in the black sea this week when russia captured three ships in a border dispute. >>> during their summit in argentina today, president trump and leaders of canada and mexico are signing a revamped version of nafta. it includes higher pay for autoworkers and patent protections for some drug companies. lawmakers still have to ratify the agreement. s

about this individual but the whole of the iraq war justification was riddled with an accuracy with untruths with misconceptions and deceptions turns out it also was riddled with torture we have no evidence that that continues to this well maybe not but this man was called the cook who mysteriously he died in a libyan prison apparently committed suicide question marks on that too we'll never really know the full story here but we do know that. his his confessions were maintained under torture and as they say you can get people to talk but you can't get the truth by causing the pain but over thank you. well after tomorrow's brief trump meeting in paris leaders from russia china india japan and the us will next week convene with the commonwealth nations in singapore to chart out a new world order of trade advising the u.k. government on china and britain's department of business energy and industrial strategies is professor usual and he joins me now thanks so much for going on the show everyone in the world arguably talks about the trump trade war will that be a focus of the ends meeting in si

you have a fact—checking team who record the number of lies, untruths and misleading statements that the trump administration month by month. i think you're well into the thousands now. 6,000. is that right? there are some journalists, such as the former wall streetjournal editor, gerard baker, who says journalists need to be much more careful about the use of the word "lie" because he says to use that word, you not only have to know what is being said is fake or wrong but you also have to know about the intent. i actually agree with him on that, and that has been our policy. we have been very cautious in our use of the word lie. we use it sometimes, but not all the time. when we've been able to document what the president said, he knows what he is saying is false, we use the word "lie". when he knows it and he intended it to be a falsehood. how can you know? a great example, talking about the meeting with the russians in trump tower. it involved donald trump, jr. when donald trump, jr was expected to issue a statement responding to the initial press reports about that meeting, that

it was indeed the president, for example, he may have thought he would take the risk of giving untruthful answers skmoand hope that a par might be still forthcoming from the president. a pardon can't do everything to manafort. he's had property and assets seized by the government that he can't get back. he might be vulnerable to state charges if he were cleared of federal charges. and brian, i think it's probably a bit of an out lyer scenario ad it's highly speculative, but you have to think of some of the characters he may have come across working in ukraine, including the oligarch delipaska who has been known for frightening behavior in his post soviet russia. manafort knows about delipaska and appears to be connecting with him during a campaign. is it possible he got questions about deripaska that he wasn't prepared to answer because it could be dangerous? that's highly speculative but we have to consider that also. >> that report he was referring to was the "new york times" report back when o'dowd had at least dangled the possibility of a pardon. that is a weighty thing to dangle in t
