cause it's too easy to say you weren't. It's too easy. I just did it. But I'm not like the spokesperson for the government. I would think that they would be trained well enough to answer a question like that. It's not even hard. I mean what was the degree of difficulty in saying we can't give away secret stuff but I'll tell you we didn't have anything to do with what you're alleging? I mean if you're not willing to say that directly it's because you're confirming it's real. I don't have another way to interpret it. Do you?

Because if your interpretation is that they genuinely were trying to protect sources and methods, I just gave you the answer that proves that wasn't real. It was too easy. So this is another one of those outrage things where I have outrage exhaustion. Do I go work on this border patrol unfairly accused whipping-gate problem or do I do something about the fact that the FBI just effectively for all practical purposes confirmed that they were behind instigating a series of violent actions they're now being blamed on Republicans? People went to jail and the entire politics of the country will change probably because of this. And the FBI is clearly hiding something that they shouldn't be hiding from the public.

Now are you not outraged? Because to me they just admitted one of the biggest crimes of the century. I mean this is a really big crime if I'm interpreting it correctly. And if I'm not interpreting it correctly the FBI could always clarify and say, let's follow up with the clarification: we can't give you sources and methods stuff but we can say for sure that we were not instigators of that event. Too easy. It's just too easy. And they can't do that. They can't do that.

So I'm just out of outrage. I just don't have enough. The individual whose name I can never successfully pronounce — Cenk Uygur, is that close? Cenk Uygur. And whenever I mispronounce anybody's name I always like to tell you I feel bad about it and I'm not doing it disrespectfully. I just sometimes don't know the name. Uygur. Okay, let's go with that.

He says — what do we do when, this is in a tweet, what do we do when 40% of our fellow Americans just don't believe in facts anymore? What do you think of that? What do we do when 40% of Americans just don't believe in facts anymore?

To which I say that's not what's happening. That's not what's happening at all. Everybody believes in facts. What we don't believe in is who's telling us the facts. We don't believe you. It's not the facts that are lying to us. It's you. It's you. You're the liar.

No, facts are excellent. I haven't met a fact I didn't like. In fact I've never even had a fight with a fact. No fact has ever tried to blind me. No fact has ever insulted me. In fact I have a good relationship with facts when I know what they are. What I don't have a good relationship with is big old liars who are telling me that they know the facts and I don't. I got a big old problem with them.

And I saw two on the same theme. Jim Cramer, you know investment guru Jim Cramer, he tweeted why can't we accept the most fed chiefs have not faced a heinous war against a democracy. Interesting way to put it. A heinous war against a democracy and a large country that doesn't believe in the science. Really? Do we have a country that doesn't believe in the science? Is that the problem? Do you wake up ever and say you know I don't believe in science? Nope.

So I sent a clear correction on his tweet. I retweeted it with a correction. I said the public doesn't believe scientists for good reasons but we still believe science is our best system for figuring out the truth. So let me be clear: science we all like. Am I right? We all like science as the best system to get as close as you can to the truth over time. Every one of us, 100%. We don't necessarily like the scientists.

How about the facts? Is there anybody here who hates the facts? Any fact haters here? Or disbelievers? Do you believe facts don't exist? No. No. But I bet there are people who think that they're liars. Do liars exist? Yes they do. Yes they do.

So let's get it straight. W
