and she described those who follow trump as a cult. and i thought it was an, the observation. especially from someone who had been suckered into believing those lies. i think there's something seriously amiss here in the body politic when a party can peddle complete, obvious, and provable falsehoods and have their followers believe them and try to lead them into really a change from our system of government. if you listen to some of the things that trump is saying these days, and one of the thing i learned in the january 6th investigation was to understand and believe that when the president, expresident speaks, he means it. he said, his words, that he intends to terminate parts of the constitution. he said he intends to eliminate the civil service. replace it with political
among other things, precsident trump is accusing president biden of being the true threat to democracy. give me your opinion. >> it is no wonder americans are not eager to see a rematch of this because we will have to live through the lies donald trump tells on a regular basis. he says, i was right about that, the election was rigged. no, the election was not rigged and there were all of these court cases and that's been proven. he's going to live in this world where he continues to sell the falsehoods of the 2020 election and continues to promise to go govern in an undemocratic way should he win the presidency. again, trying to flip the script on democracy, it has appeal. when you look at the polling this notion of democracy is actually very -- and elections, it is very important to both republicans and democrats for totally different reasons. he sees an opening there to galvanize support on his side.
and, "you haven't seen the movie. you haven't seen '2000 mules'" or whatever. and i said, "okay, let's say that's "the greatest movie in the world. "who as a society do we trust? "60 state and federal judges, including eight federal judges "that trump nominated to the bench, or a movie?" and he said, the movie. - in this post-fact world, there are two kinds. there are the people who truly and sincerely believe whatever exciting falsehoods that they believe. and then there are ones who decide to pretend to believe, who are lying. and it was the big lie where he just encouraged the millions of people already believing the big lie, that here's a respectable former american hero saying it's true in all of its fantastical aspects. - we don't want to find out three weeks from now even more proof that this election was stolen. do we? all: no! - i would say that's the single greatest crime.
engineering to keep the audience addicted. and ultimately, thet is what drove so many of these falsehoods. >> you talk about the black widow at the heart of our democracy. lachlan murdoch versus rupert murdoch, is there any difference, any directional change? >> rupert is much more of a newspaper man. he believes he's a journalist at heart, and he detests donald trump. as a murdoch family friend said to me, he can't believe we're going to end up with trump as the nominee again. then again, he doesn't seem to be doing much to stop it. lachlan cares a lot less about politics. i'm told he's personally not a fan of trump. he holds his nose like a lot of republican establishment party types but he's not doing anything to stop the trump train. he cares about campaign ad spending than he cares about polling and things like that. so ultimately, you're not going to see lachlan or rupert do anything really to stop this coronation of trump, even though, by the way, trump complains about fox all the time. he says fox is out to get him,
- giuliani was spreading falsehoods, and on some level, it no longer matters, right, because it's already been out there. millions of people have already seen it on tv, and it's already embedded itself in a kind of narrative that's very hard to dislodge. i think that's still the power of television and the power of giuliani's voice coming together. - the democrat coverup is just going to continue the corruption in the ukraine-- - well, we're living now in the post-truth society, so in order to accuse somebody of a crime and paint a portrait of a criminal, you don't need a crime. - rudy giuliani, the former mayor of new york city, the former president's lawyer, deposed in a defamation case dealing with dominion voting systems. - reckless disregard for the truth. - and it's hard to imagine something more despicable. - america might not have been ready for that truth. that's why i'm so proud that he stood up.
