"The trip in 1996 would later become grist for the political mill when presidential candidate Clinton claimed---in 2008---that we had dodged sniper fire [on an airport tarmac] on that trip." "I not only had a different memory, but I still had the video from the event and it clearly showed no snipers. In fact, there were children on the runway in Bosnia to greet Clinton. Sheryl Crow was on the trip with us, as was comedian Sinbad (to entertain the US troops). Sinbad, too, pointed out he didn't recall sniper fire." "CBS News assigned me to do the story on Clinton's mistaken memory. When she doubled down the next day [still claiming she was under sniper fire], we followed up with a second day story." "Some analysts said it was the final nail in the coffin that caused her to drop out of the race in 2008, clearing the path for Barack Obama to take the nomination for Democrats. Clinton never fully explained whether she knew she wasn't telling the truth, or whether she actually somehow believed her own concocted story. She simply explained that she'd been overtired."
Reporter: And that's the biggest lie you've ever told? Trudeau: Why, yes. It was a whopper! Reporter: Were you lying then or are you lying now? Silence.Then the whole country of Canada bursts out laughing. Let's look at a few actual Justin Trudeau quotes. His form of lying is an endlessly popular brand among politicians. It's the Empty Generalization. You follow along with him, and when he's through talking (if you have working brain cells), you think: "What did he just say? I could get more meaning out of breakfast cereal made of plastic and sugar..." Trudeau: "For me, to represent people who represent the future of Canada and the great challenges we will face over the coming decades - this is where I wanted to start. ... I'm a teacher; I'm a convenor; I'm a gatherer; I'm someone who reaches out to people and is deeply interested in what they have to say. And people see that I'm not faking it. I'm actually genuinely committed to this dialogue that we're opening up, and this understanding that needs to happen in order to be an effective MP." What? A dialogue? Where's the dialogue? Trudeau is a "gatherer?" Who is he gathering? Sheep? Goats? Trudeau: "In Canada, can we speak of acceptance, openness, friendship, understanding? It is about where we are going and what we are going through every day in our diverse and rich communities." "It" is about? About what? What is the "it?" What exactly are "we" going through every day? If I were a speechwriter, I'd want to put different words into Trudeau's mouth, just to clarify things a bit. I'd have him say: "Look, I'm a Globalist, okay? Let's get down to it. I'm a mid-level player who wants open borders, as a step toward putting a North American Union together. Let's erase borders and let's have the US, Canada, and Mexico join together in a structure very much like the European Union, where armies of bureaucrats decide your fate and your future every day, by passing tons of regulations. We'll run your lives down to the fine details, and you'll learn to live with it. Stay passive, my friends. Our present national government is already overbearing, but you haven't seen anything yet. When I use words like 'diversity' and 'openness' I mean 'control'. Control from above. Control with a smile and friendly face. I'm a Globalist and a technocrat, which means I want a completely planned society, an engineered society. No more individualism. And no more free speech. We have to get rid of that. Are you catching on? There is no 'dialogue'. That's a fantasy. I paint a Disney cartoon for you yokels and rubes. Think of me as a sort of New Age hustler. I'm selling you love and friendship, which, when you take them apart, crumble in your hands. Remember the old saying, 'grin and bear it'? Well, I'm grinning, and you're bearing it. Canadians are famous for being stoical. Keep it up. Take what we give you. Nationalism is dead. This is now One Planet, and you're all ciphers, numbers on a planning board. That's the vision. I've been groomed for this job since I was a child. The thing called the New World Order? It's real. You're in it. And finally, I'm not lying. Not now. Everything else I've been saying up until now was by way of selling you rose-colored glasses..." Wouldn't that be refreshing? Refreshing and disturbing, yes. But at least a statement like that would begin to define the actual situation; and the terms of the struggle.
