CARLY FIORINA SAID SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE DURING
THE DEBATE.
HOW DO I KNOW?
BECAUSE I WAS THERE, AND I SAID
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE AT THE TIME.
THERE IS NOTHING I LIKE ON THE
PROGRAM MORE THAN ME SAYING, TOLD YOU.
FIRST, HERE IS WHAT SHE SAID.
BECKY, IT IS THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY FOR MRS.
CLINTON TO
TALK ABOUT BEING THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT WHEN EVERY SINGLE
POLICY SHE ESPOUSES, AND EVERY SINGLE POLICY OF PRESIDENT
OBAMA, HAS BEEN DEMONSTRABLY BAD FOR WOMEN. 92% -- 92% OF THE
JOBS LOST DURING BARACK OBAMA'S FIRST TERM BELONGED TO WOMEN.
REALLY?
THAT IS NOT MY REACTION IN HINDSIGHT, THAT WAS MY
REACTION AT THE TIME.
I WILL SHOW YOU A CLIP FROM THE YOUNG TURKS PANEL COVERING
THAT DEBATE AS WE HEARD THAT LINE.
WATCH.
JESUS CHRIST.
WHAT WAS THE PERCENTAGE SHE GAVE?
SHE SAID 90?
I THINK SHE SAID 90, RIGHT?
THERE IS NO WAY THAT'S TRUE.
THAT IS ON THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEO.
THERE IS SO MUCH IN THERE.
IF YOU JUST WATCH IT --
TURNS OUT WE WERE RIGHT.
AND IN A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS, A REPUBLICAN HAS
ADMITTED THEY WERE LYING.
OR MISSPOKE, IN HER WORDS.
HERE SHE IS.
SOMETHING FACT CHECKERS SAY WAS CHERRY PICKED AND
MISLEADING, YOU SAID 92% OF THE JOBS LOST DURING BARACK
OBAMA'S FIRST-TERM BELONGED TO WOMEN.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THE FACT CHECKERS ARE CORRECT, THE
92%, IT TURNS OUT, WAS THE FIRST 3 1/2 YEARS OF BARACK OBAMA'S
TERM.
AND IN THE FINAL SIX MONTHS OF HIS TERM, THINGS
IMPROVED.
BUT THIS IS WHAT THE LIBERAL MEDIA ALWAYS DOES, ATTACKS
THE MESSENGER TRYING TO AVOID THE MESSAGE.
HERE'S THE MESSAGE,
IT IS TRUE THAT WOMEN HAVE BEEN HIT VERY HARD BY PROGRESSIVE
POLICIES.
IT IS FACTUALLY TRUE THAT THE NUMBER OF WOMEN LIVING IN
EXTREME POVERTY IS AT THE HIGHEST RATE IN RECORDED HISTORY.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, THE LIBERAL MEDIA ATTACKS THE
MESSENGER IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY WRONG?
I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
IF THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL BEING A
LIBERAL, BEING CORRECT, GUILTY AS CHARGED.
SHE'S LIKE, HOW DARE
THEY CORRECT ME WHEN I AM COMPLETELY WRONG?
THEY ARE SO
LIBERAL.
POLITIFACT LOOKED INTO THIS WHEN MITT ROMNEY MADE A
SIMILAR CHARGE IN 2012, THAT WAS FULL OF CRAP, AND THEY RATED IT
MOSTLY FALSE.
IT IS NOW RATED AT COMPLETELY FALSE WHEN FIORINA
DOES IT.
WHY?
BECAUSE AT THE TIME WE DID NOT HAVE THE LAST
SET OF MONTHS FOR BARACK OBAMA'S FIRST TERM.
THAT JURY IS IN.
SHE
SAID SIX MONTHS, IT IS ACTUALLY THE LAST 10 MONTHS THAT SHE LEFT
OUT OF HER CALCULATIONS.
WHEN YOU ADD THE LAST 10 MONTHS, DO YOU
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS?
IT TURNS OUT HE ADDED JOBS FOR WOMEN.
416,000
EXTRA JOBS FOR WOMEN.
NOT LESS JOBS, MORE JOBS FOR WOMEN.
THAT
WOULD BE THE OPPOSITE OF THE TRUTH.
AND WHEN YOU GET TO THAT
92% NUMBER, EVEN IF YOU TOOK THE TIME PERIOD THAT ROMNEY WAS
TALKING ABOUT AND THAT SHE HAD INITIALLY MENTIONED, WHAT THEY
DON'T TELL YOU IS, THEY LOST THOSE JOBS FOR WOMEN BECAUSE OF
THE RECESSION THAT BUSH STARTED.
SO A LOT OF THOSE JOB LOSSES
WERE IN OBAMA'S FIRST FEW MONTHS.
WAS HE SUPPOSED TO COME
IN IN JANUARY 2009 AND SAY THIS RECESSION IS OVER, EVERYBODY
GETS JOBS?
IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
FOR BUSH THEY SAID YOU CAN'T
COUNT THE FIRST NINE MONTHS, THAT IS WHY 9/11 IS NOT HIS
FAULT.
WITH OBAMA THEY SAID, MAINLY COUNT THE FIRST NINE
MONTHS AND THEN STOP COUNTING.
BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE
THE JOB LOSSES WERE.
THAT IS ALL OBAMA'S FAULT.
IT WAS MISLEADING
TO BEGIN WITH.
AND EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO BLAME BUSH, THAT IS
NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE, BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT SO MANY MORE MEN
LOST THEIR JOBS BEFORE OBAMA GOT INTO OFFICE AS BUSH WAS LEAVING
OFFICE.
THE RECESSION STARTS IN LATE 2007 AND 2008 WHEN BUSH IS
LEAVING OFFICE, AND THE DEBACLE STARTS, 3 MILLION MORE MEN LOST
THEIR JOBS BEFORE WOMEN, BEFORE WOMEN STARTED LOSING THEIR JOBS.
WHY DID WOMEN RECOVER THEIR JOBS QUICKER UNDER OBAMA?
THAT IS
BECAUSE OBAMA PUSHED FOR A STIMULUS PACKAGE AND HE
SUPPORTED GOVERNMENT WORKERS BEING ABLE TO RETAIN THEIR JOBS
WHILE REPUBLICANS WANTED TO LAY OFF, FOR EXAMPLE, 300,000
TEACHERS.
IF YOU WANT 300,000 TEACHERS TO GET LAID OFF AS
REPUBLICANS DID, THEY LITERALLY STRIPPED IT FROM THE BUDGET,
THEY DID NOT WANT TO PROTECT THOSE TEACHERS, THEY WERE
DISPROPORTIONATELY FEMALE.
SO IT WAS A REPUBLICAN RECESSION AND A
REPUBLICAN POLICY AFTER THE RECESSION THAT CAUSED WOMEN TO
LOSE THEIR JOBS.
AND WHAT DO REPUBLICANS DO?
THEY GO, OBAMA
LOST JOBS FOR WOMEN.
OUTRAGEOUS, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
AND WHEN WE
CALL BULLSHIT THEY GO, HOW DARE YOU, YOU LIBERAL MEDIA?
THAT IS
EXACTLY THE JOB OF THE MEDIA, IS TO FACT CHECK YOU AND BE A
WATCHDOG.
IN THIS CASE, SORRY, BUT YOU ARE STONE COLD BUSTED.
