>>WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE AMBASSADORS TO COUNTRIES THESE
DAYS, BUT WHEN WE DO, THEY PUT THEIR FOOT IN THEIR MOUTH.
THIS
IS AN AMAZING MOMENT FROM OUR AMBASSADOR TO THE NETHERLANDS,
PETER HOEKSTRA, HE TOOK THE JOB ON DECEMBER 11, HE DID AN
INTERVIEW WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO EXPLAIN SOME OF HIS STATEMENTS
ON ISLAM IN THE NETHERLANDS AND WHETHER THERE WERE NO GO AREAS
OF THE COUNTRY, AND HE GAVE A WEIRD RESPONSE CALLING IT FAKE
NEWS.
THE VIDEO PUT TOGETHER FROM THE NEWS ORGANIZATION IN
THE NETHERLANDS THAT HE WAS DOING THE INTERVIEW WITH IS
SO CRAZY PRICELESS, TAKE A LOOK.
>>SPEAKING OF THREATS, AT ONE POINT YOU MENTIONED IN A DEBATE
THAT THERE ARE NO GO ZONES IN THE NETHERLANDS, AND THAT
CARS AND POLITICIANS ARE BEING SET ON FIRE.
>>I DIDN'T SAY THAT, THAT IS AN INCORRECT STATEMENT.
WE WOULD CALL IT FAKE NEWS.
I NEVER SAID THAT.
>>THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY SAID.
>>NO IT'S NOT.
>>THE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT IS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THEY HAVE PUT
EUROPE INTO CHAOS, CHAOS IN THE NETHERLANDS, THERE ARE CARS
BEING BURNED, THERE ARE POLITICIANS BEING BURNED, AND
YES THERE ARE NO GO ZONES IN THE NETHERLANDS.
>>OOPS.
>>THAT'S SO GOOD.
AND IT GETS WEIRDER, THEY PRESSED HIM, WE
HAVE CALLED YOU OUT FOR SAYING IT'S FAKE NEWS, THEN WE PROVED
IT WASN'T, THEY FOLLOW-UP ON HIS HAVING JUST CALLED IT FAKE
NEWS, HERE'S HIS RESPONSE TO THAT, AND LOOKED PLEASED AT
THE INTERVIEW WHEN HE HEARS THE RESPONSE.
>>YOU CALL IT FAKE NEWS, OBVIOUSLY --
>>I DIDN'T CALL THAT FAKE NEWS, I DIDN'T USE THE WORDS TODAY.
>>NO?
>>I DON'T THINK I DID.
>>OKAY.
>>HE LOOKS LIKE, CAN WE ROLL THE TAPE IMMEDIATELY?
AM I THE ONE WHO TOOK THE CRAZY PILL?
>>WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PLAYBACK MACHINES FOR THAT.
>>THIS IS THE POST TRUTH WORLD, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT, WHERE YOU KEEP LYING NO MATTER WHAT.
YOU JUST SAID FAKE NEWS.
NO I DIDN'T.
BUT YOU ARE ON TAPE PLAYING IT, WE CAN JUST PLAY IT BACK.
NO YOU CAN'T.
YOU SAID CARS AND POLITICIANS ARE BURNING.
NO I
DIDN'T.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
BUT THAT'S OUR OVERALL MACRO DILEMMA
HERE IN AMERICA, NOW SPREADING TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, WHAT
DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE, OR A LOT OF PEOPLE, REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
REALITY?
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH.
THAT DOESN'T COMPUTE, THEN WE ARE TALKING DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES AND I LITERALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT.
>>I'M SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE TO ME THIS IS A REALLY
SERIOUS ISSUE, AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT TYT IS WE TRY
TO GET ALL THE FACTS IN, SOMETIMES THE FACTS ARE BALANCED
IN A WAY, MEANING THAT OUR POSITION ISN'T ALWAYS THE ONE
THAT CARRIES THE DAY.
ANYWAY, OVERALL THAT'S THE WAY DIALOGUES
PROGRESS, WE HAVE FACTS, THEY HAVE FACTS, THEY EXAMINE OURS,
WE EXAMINE THEIRS, AND CONSENSUS IS REACHED.
BUT ONCE YOU DECIDE
THAT YOUR FACTS ARE THE FACTS AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE OTHER
PERSON'S FACTS, AND FACT I WILL EVEN DENY MY FACTS AND THE FACT
THAT I SAID WHAT MY FACTS ARE, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU ARE IN CRAZY
LAND.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE, IT BECOMES IDENTITY POLITICS
AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEING PLAYED OUT RIGHT THERE.
>>THAT WAS HOEKSTRA SAYING THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT ME DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE TRUTH THAT ALL SO ALL THIS IS IRRELEVANT, YOU WILL
HAVE FUN WITH IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
THEY WILL LOOK AT THAT
AND GO, HOEKSTRA NAILED IT.
>>HOEKSTRA WAS BORN IN THE NETHERLANDS AND HIS FAMILY
IMMIGRATED TO AMERICA.
>>BUILD A WALL.
>>BUILD A DAM, KEEP THE WATER OUT, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IN THE
NETHERLANDS.
ANYWAY, HE MOVED OUT, HE WAS A REPUBLICAN
REPRESENTATIVE IN MICHIGAN FOR OVER A DECADE, AND WHEN ASKED
WHAT IS IT LIKE HAVING AN AMERICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE
NETHERLANDS WHO'S ACTUALLY FROM THE NETHERLANDS, ONE PERSON SAID
HE'S A DUTCHMAN BUT HE'S FROM THE NETHERLANDS OF THE 50S.
BECAUSE HE HAS A NUMBER OF POSITIONS THAT ARE JUST OUT OF
PLACE IN THE NETHERLANDS NOW.
HE'S AGAINST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE,
GAY RIGHTS, ABORTION, THE DEATH PENALTY, HE'S FOR THE DEATH
PENALTY, AND AGAINST REFUGEES, AND HE'S JUST NOT A POPULAR
PERSON THERE.
AND, LIKE, YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR STANDING IN FRONT
OF THEIR MEDIA AND SAYING FAKE NEWS AND LYING.
THAT IS NOT A
VERY DIPLOMATIC THING TO BE DOING.
>>BUT THE REFERENCE TO THE 50S PUTS HIM IN LOCKSTEP WITH WHERE
THIS COUNTRY IS NOW.
THE RULING LEADERSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY NOW
IS OLD WHITE GUYS WHO ARE MAKING IT 1950
AGAIN, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING.
SO HE'S PERFECTLY IN CONCERT WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
HE'S SERVING.
>>ALL THE HATS, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN
GREAT FOR EVERYONE.
IT MEANS MAKE AMERICA 1950 AGAIN, AND THE
1950S WERE GREAT FOR SOME PEOPLE, AND TERRIBLE FOR SOME
PEOPLE.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY THE 1950S THEY WANT TO GO BACK TO.
AND THE NETHERLANDS, BLESS THEIR HEARTS, HAS ADVANCED WAY PAST
THAT.
SO WHEN YOU THROW THIS BARBARIAN INTO THEIR MIX, THEY
ARE LIKE, WHAT IS THIS?
>>WHO IS THIS TIME TRAVELER?
>>AND MY FAVORITE PART, HOEKSTRA WOULD HE WAS IN
CONGRESS SERVED AS THE CHAIR OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE.
