SOUTH DAKOTA LEADER REFUSED TO
TAKE ORDERS TO STOP THE SPREAD.
WHERE DOES THIS CRAZY DENIALISM
COMES FROM?
IT COMES FROM THE TOP.
THE REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES OF
THIS STUFF.
THESE REPORTS AND THE RECORDING
TELLING WOODWARD WILDLY
DIFFERENT THINGS THAN HE WAS
TELLING THE PUBLIC.
IT IS NOT JUST A POLITICAL STORY
OF A PRESIDENT SAYING ONE THING.
THIS IS A PRESIDENT SAYING
THINGS PUBLICLY THAT WE NOW KNOW
HE KNEW TO BE UNTRUE.
THINGS THAT HAVE DEADLY REAL
WORLD CONSEQUENCES.
HERE IS WHAT HE WAS SAYING IN AN
INTERVIEW WITH WOODWARD ALL THE
WAY BACK ON FEBRUARY 7th.
>> IT GOES THROUGH AIR, IT IS
TOUGHER THAN TOUCHING.
THE AIR YOU JUST BREATHE THE AIR
AND THAT’S HOW IT IS PASSED.
THAT’S A VERY TRICKY ONE AND
ADEL A DELEGATE ONE.
A DELEGATE ONE.
IT IS DEADLY THAN YOUR STRENUOUS
FLU.
THIS IS MORE DEADLY.
THIS IS 5% VERSES 1% AND LESS
THAN 1% SO THIS IS DEADLY STUFF.
>> THIS IS DEADLY STUFF, A
RECORDED INTERVIEW WITH BOB
WOODWARD ON FEBRUARY 7th
ACKNOWLEDGING THE CORONAVIRUS
WAY MORE DEADLY THAN THE FLU.
QUOTE "THIS IS DEADLY STUFF."
THAT SAME MONTH IN PUBLIC, HE
USED THE EXAMPLE OF THE FLU TO
TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE
EXACT OPPOSITE STORY THAT
CORONAVIRUS IS FAR LESS
DANGEROUS THAN THE FLU.
>> I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT
SHOCKED ME WHEN I SAW IT AND I
SPOKE WITH DR. FAUCI ABOUT THIS
ZIFS
AND I WAS REALLY AMAZED.
THE FLU IN OUR COUNTRY KILLS
FROM 25,000 PEOPLE TO 69,000
PEOPLE A YEAR.
THAT WAS SHOCKING TO ME.
AND SO FAR IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT
WE HAVE WITH THE 15 PEOPLE AND
THEY’RE RECOVERING AND ONE IS
PRETTY SICK BUT HOPEFULLY WILL
RECOVER BUT THE OTHERS ARE IN
GREAT SHAPE.
THINK OF THE 25,000 TO 69,000
OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS WE HAVE
LOST 360,000.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED
FROM THE FLU.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IN FEBRUARY,
RIGHT?
WE HAVE ONLY 15 CORONAVIRUS
CASES.
THIS IS SO MUCH LESS SERIOUS
THAN THE FLU.
THE NEXT DAY WAS THIS.
>> IT IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR.
ONE DAY IT IS LIKE A MIRACLE IT
WILL DISAPPEAR.
>> A COUPLE WEEKS LATER HE’S
BACK ON THE PHONE WITH BOB
WOODWARD NOT ONLY TALKING MORE
ABOUT HOW COVID IS SUPER SERIOUS
BUT ADMITTING TO WOODWARD THAT
HE LIKES TO PLAY DOWN ITS
SERIOUSNESS IN PUBLIC.
>> NOW IT IS TURNING OUT IT IS
NOT JUST OLD PEOPLE.
IT IS TODAY AND YESTERDAY OF
SOME STARTLEING FACTS.
I WANT TO ALWAYS PLAY IT DOWN.
I STILL LAKE TOIKE TO PLAY IT DO
BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO CREATE A
PANIC.
>>
>> I WANT TO PLAY IT DOWN AND
ALWAYS PLAY IT DOWN.
>> THAT WAS MARCH.
NOW WE KNOW THAT IN APRIL HE WAS
SAYING TO BOB WOODWARD IT IS A
HORRIBLE THING AND IT IS EASILY
TRANS MISSABLE THAT YOU WOULD
NOT BELIEVE IT.
HE’S RIDING THAT AND MAKING FUN
OF PEOPLE WEARING MASKS.
TRY LEARNING OF SOMETHING WORSE
OF A WAY A LEADER DEALT WITH
CORONAVIRUS.
THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN
IMAGINE.
NOT BEING CONFUSED OF BEING TOO
DENSE TO UNDERSTAND THE REALITY
OF IT BUT GETTING IT AND
