. So I'm with you. And as soon as I get done with this stuff, we're going to schedule a trip to the border and I'd like to see it firsthand. But we do have good reporting on it. Compare my answer to "I haven't been to Europe either." I mean seriously, how bad a politician can you be to not be able to answer the most obvious question you'll ever be asked? All right. Ron DeSantis continues to do a…
← Previous segment →I have a big question about him. So I guess he's got a book coming out, so he's doing some interviews. And he repeated the fine people hoax. And I'm a little surprised by it. Now I can imagine it's easy to imagine that in the past that all the Democratic figures had repeated that hoax because I think a lot of them believed it in the beginning.
But do we believe, and I asked this in a poll, I said do you think Barack Obama believes the fine people hoax is actually real as recently as yesterday? Could somebody as well informed as Obama not know that that's a hoax by now? Certainly I would forgive anybody who didn't know it was a hoax in the beginning. But now, how do you not know that?
Now you know even Biden stopped saying it. We haven't heard Biden say it in quite a while because I think he finally got the message it wasn't real. But Obama, does he still believe it or is he morally empty? Which is it? Because I actually don't know. I'm actually a little confused. Because it seems to me that especially from the perspective of an ex-president, I don't have a memory of Obama telling lies this big that are so disprovable in public.
Has it? Can somebody remind me of any big lies that Obama told that were just obvious lies? Now of course they all do spin, right? So I'm not talking about spin or a little bit of hyperbole. Something's worse than something. Can somebody give me, well that was a promise, somebody says. You know, the promise about if you like your doctor you can keep it. My guess is that he actually believed that. I don't think he would say it. I mean my guess is that that wasn't a lie. He actually believed it. But that's a guess.
Yeah, that's more of a campaign promise, isn't it? Yeah. And I'm not sure that just being wrong is the same. The Trayvon. Well I don't want to get into Trayvon Martin. Yeah. So we don't really have a big history of Obama saying things that are this obviously provably false. You know it'd be one thing to say something that you can't prove one way or the other, or the statistics are misleading. You can read it this way or you could read it that way. That's one thing.
But when has Obama just said an obviously false thing that you can just look up yourself and tell it's false? Yeah. So I have, my guess is that he actually believes it. That's my best guess. I can't read his mind, but I think he actually believes it. Amazing.
He also said that it was laughable because he literally laughed. He chuckled when he talks about Republicans thinking that critical race theory and the teaching of it is the greatest threat to our re

public. Now of course he's exaggerating a little bit, but he's acting as though Republicans think critical race theory is the biggest threat to our republic. Is that crazy? Is it crazy for somebody to think that critical race theory is in fact the biggest risk to the republic? Because I think you can make that argument. You could definitely make that argument. It goes like this. The most importan…
