Page 230 - Assertions News Today

A president does it means its not illegal, it doesnt mean its news. what does it mean? different media organizations mean different metabolisms. in print, they should downplay the crazy stuff and a correction about the illegal assertion. maybe in their twitter feed really casually deal with it. i have been talking to people with major broadcasting institutions and ways to brand their coverage and give in to the assertions. i wonder and worry about you guys and the other big cable networks. it se...

Assertions that arent substantiated when it comes to the actual details of policy because otherwise were going to be selling the american people a bill of goods. >> selling the american people a bill of goods. president obama responding to georgia congressman tom price in 2010. tom price didnt release his own alternative obamacare. it was never endorsed by any of the leaders. i should note that his views arent even mainstream even within his own party. take for example the part of obamacare that...

>> tom, look, i have to say that on the -- lets just take the health care debate. its probably not constructive for us to try to debate a particular bill, that this isnt the venue to do it. but if you say we can offer coverage for all americans and it wont cost a penny, thats just not true. you cant structure a bill where suddenly 30 million people have coverage and it costs nothing. it cant just be political assertions that arent substantiated when it comes to the actual details of policy becau...

President-elect, specifically citing post feeds that have since been debunked that put forward some claims that this is possible. >> thank you so much, hallie jackson. great reporting as a human being can only do well. thanks so much. just kidding. by the way, happy thanksgiving and merry christmas if i dont see you again, but i will. politico said trumps claims are baseless assertions of voter fraud called stunning, so why is he doing it? youre laughing, so you go first. the reason i raised t...

Fraud. everybody who looks at this knows that. i think that to make those kind of assertions, i think is irresponsible. i think its damaging to our confidence in our democratic system. i think it has a danger of discouraging people from participating. remember most of election officials across this country that are responsible for counting the votes and making sure all the votes are counted fairly are republicans right now. there are democrats, the republicans, majority of them right now happen ...

How legally constitutionally will we continue from there? >> it doesnt really make any difference whether somebody can see it or not. somebody can continue to contest the election, but once the electoral college votes, the winner becomes the president. so a concession is a formalistic acceptance of the will of the voters. i think its very important. i think it helps bring the country together but its not legally required. >> what about the danger of the whiff, or in this case, the stench of ille...

President shes going to be. youre not only running to be president of the united states, youve got to be the leader of the free world. you have to not only know what youre talking about, i think you have to project a sense of optimism and unity that the world expects an american president to project. >> one final question because trump keeps bringing up a supposed rigged eelectric and he often referred to philadelphia and your state. when you hear him make the assertions that theres a potential ...

Happen that patrick kennedy was asking for a reclassification of an e-mail. >> look, again, i think president obama, whos closer to the intelligence than anything that ive within briefed on said it best that the assertions here clearly show that theres no wrongdoing. but look there should never be questions asked associated with these types of things and thats where i am on this. again, with president barack obamas response, i think he provided the clarity that was needed associated with the con...
