and that it's something that
people can still learn from,
Jim.
>> Arlette, thank you very
much.
Turning to Donald Trump's
speech last night at the
conservative political action
conference.
It's often the case with the
former president, the speech
was full of half truths, lies,
and some absolute whoppers.
CNN's Daniel Dale joins me now.
Daniel, this speech lasted
almost two hours.
You've been sifting through.
We will be able to get all the
falsehoods in the segment.
Let's play some clips and then
have you fact-check trump's
claims.
Here's the first on job
creation.
>> The greatest job history of
any president ever.
>> Daniel, fact or fiction?
>> Absolute fiction,.
Jim Mr. Trump has the single
worst net jobs record of any
presidential term those four
years losing 2.7 million jobs.
Now, I think you can fairly say
there's a covid-19 pandemic.
Even if you go to the three in
a bit years before the pandemic,
Mr. Trump's record is middling.
Middle of the pack.
There are about 6.7 million
jobs.
That's nowhere even close to
the actual record for a term,
which is 11.5 million jobs in
democratic presidential
Pilkinton's first term.
>> Trump covered a lot of
ground as he often does
including the claim about the
Nordstrom to natural gas
pipeline that runs from Russia
to Germany.
Let's listen to that.
>> I get along very well with
Putin, even though I'm the one
that ended.
Trump is giving a lot to
Russian.
Putin actually said, to me if
you're my, friends I'd hate
like to see you as my enemy.
I ended the pipeline.
Do you member?
Nordstrom to.
I ended it.
It was dead.
>> Daniel, what's your
fact-check on that one?
>> He didn't and.
It was not dead.
He did impose sanctions on
companies working on the
pipeline.
That didn't come until three
years, Jim, and to his
presidency.
Those sanctions did slow down
the project.
Still under president trump
Russia, the Russian state owned
company that is behind this
pipeline said, fine, you
sanction those companies were,
going to do it ourselves.
And they announce with a bunch
of a month and a half left in
the presidency that they're
going to resume construction.
A few days left in trump's
presidency, Germany announced
that it was granting other
permit for construction in its
waters.
Trump may have slowed down
Nordstrom true, but did not
kill it.
>> Daniel, let's turn to Mexico
in the wall.
Always guaranteed to fire up
the Maga base.
The Maga catnip for supporters.
Let's listen to what trump told
the crowd last night.
>> As you, know I built
hundreds of miles of walls and
completed that task as
promised.
And then I add even more in
areas that seem to be allowing
a lot of people to come in.
>> Danielle, I think I know the
answer to this.
The wallet was not finished.
>> The president the former
president basically did the
fact check for me and said we
finished it and then we built
similar.
It doesn't make sense.
And we know from official
reports from U.S. Customs and
border protection two days
after trump left office they
said 458 miles of Lyle had been
completed under trump.
About 280 miles have been
identified as well construction
had not been completed.
Jim, nowhere even close to
done.
>> Trump also mocked a movement
for social justice, especially
the unrest that occurred in
Minneapolis after the murder of
George Floyd by police in 2020.
Let's listen to that.
>> We saved Minneapolis, the
thing astronaut disposed to do
that.
It's up to the governor, the
democratic governor.
They never wanted any.
Help it's almost like they
don't mind to have the states
destroyed.
They simply --
>> Daniel, I'm going to take a
wild guess where this one
falls.
>> Trump has been saying this
to 2020.
It is a reversal of reality,
Jim.
He said the democratic governor
didn't do anything so we have
to take action.
In, fact it was democratic
governor Tim Walz who himself
activated the Minnesota
National Guard amid the unrest.
He told CNN back in 2020 that
he did so at the request of the
democratic mayors of
Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Now, trump did demand that
Minnesota activated the
National Guard.
In, fact walls had already done
so seven hours earlier, Jim.
