that firewall right now is holding for president trump. i don t think we should ur underestimate the power of that right wing narrative. i m going to bring in one of the challengers, congressman joe walsh. you ve been calling this out saying the alternative reality is something americans need to understand. hey, brian, good to be with you. this is an absolute shame, and i think you have to call it out for what it is. the americans who listen to fox news and conservative talk radio are being lied to and manipulated every day when it comes to impeachment. it s not a surprise. they were lied to and manipulated every day with the russia investigation, really with all things trump, and it s dangerous. look, no matter where you stand on impeachment, and i believe this president deserves to be impeached, the vast majority of the american people understand
reason to doubt literally everything he s saying. i think one of the things that distinguishes trump as a liar is he lies about even the most trivial stuff, the most obvious stuff. it s not just the typical political lying to defend one against a scandal. he is proactively lying about stuff all the time. this brings us to last weekend, because the president claimed repeatedly that this dead terrorist was whimpering and crying right before he blew himself up. the new york times looked into sources who have no idea what the president is talking about, and we ve heard attorneys on the record saying they can t confirm any whimpering, any crying. it does seem the president made up these details about what was an excellent day for the united states military, and yet trump took it too far. he made up these details about a terrorist whimpering and crying. how do you handle this when you can t definitively prove that he s making it up, but he s lost the benefit of the doubt on these issues?
what do we compare this to? let s take a look at trump s family members. let s take a look at the 2020 democratic candidates as well and see how trump compares. this says it all. someone like andrew yang, 14 mistakes. bernie sanders, three misspellings. obama, zero. this is during the time trump took office. donald trump tweets a lot, so 90 mistakes for donald trump jr. president trump is really the odd man out on this with constant misspellings on his feed. it hasn t always been this way. in 2015, only 18 misspellings. the thing he gets wrong most often is councsel, as in specia
this is just who president trump is. he is obsessed with watching cable news. he monitors it daily. he sees it as a benchmark, depending on how they talk about his presidency. that s how he views the public commentary on his presidency, whether he s doing well or not. he monitors it very closely. it is, you know, pretty stunning that he has a lot on his table. at the same time, he is watching cable news. he had a ten-day vacation time at his golf club in new jersey. i m sure he plenty of time then to watch cable news even more so. tarin parti, awasin and karoun, thank you so much. thanks. how police may have foiled as many as three possible mass shootings in five days. how a girlfriend helped to tip off authorities. plus, we ll take to you the battleground state of minnesota,
president trump and his advisers are telling people that the u.s. economy is not in a recession and china is bearing the brunt of the president s trade war. we ll hear from some american farmers who beg to differ. first, alison kosik is here with this week s before the bell. alison? hi, ana. investors are watching for any updates on the u.s./china trade war and eyeing the bond market closely. the interest rate on the two-year treasury note dipped below the rate on the ten-year bond. that s known as an inverted yield curve, a classic recession signal that freaked out investors on wednesday, stocks suffered their biggest one-day losses of the year. but some market watchers are making the case for calm. they argue the american economy still holding up. job creation remains strong and consumers are spending. although economic anxiety can create a self-fulfilling prophe prophecy. the only way you can end up
