>> Donald Trump continues to double down on the notion that the path of Hurricane Dorian
was initially going to impact the state of Alabama.
Now, he has been fact-checked over and over again.
The National Weather Service fact-checked him and said no, this is not true.
Journalists fact-checked him, which led to Trump lashing out at them.
And then later he showed a National Weather Service map that had a sharpie mark on it
that made it appear as though the path of the storm was going to impact Alabama.
The original map did not have that mark on it, so he was using that prop as a way to
bolster his nonsense claims.
Now he's doubling down again via Twitter, writing quote, in the early days of the hurricane,
when it was predicted that Dorian would go through Miami or West Palm Beach, even before
it reached the Bahamas, certain models strongly suggested that Alabama and Georgia would be
hit as it made its way through Florida to the Gulf.
All right, so again, he just refuses to admit that he was wrong, which is crazy to me.
But look, Cenk, you're right, Trump has already launched Trump TV.
In fact, they recently did a weather report, so why don't we go to the Trump weather channel
and see what they have to say about this story.
>> This is Brett Erlich reporting live on Hurricane Dorian as the storm bears down here
in Mobile, Alabama.
And as you can see, the weather is actually pretty nice.
We need to fix the shot, we need to make it seem like there's more of a hurricane.
Okay, actually, let's go to some video.
Some video of a hurricane.
God, that's what a hurricane would look like if one was here.
And that's scary, isn't it?
And actually, if you listen really close, you can hear the wind.
You hear that?
It's the wind.
Of a hurricane, if one was here, which it is.
I don't even know how to lie anymore.
One sec, all over the place, see?
Real natural debris.
And I'm not even sure how the people here in Mobile will cope with the cleanup afterwards,
so we're just really waiting with it.
You've got to get out of the shot.
You got to get out of the shot, with bated breath to see what will happen, and back,
just okay, all right.
Okay, that's back to you guys, back to you in the studio, all right.
Mr. President, I can't fake rain.
What do you mean use a sharpie?
As you can see, the rain is coming down in buckets.
The rain's coming down all over the place, and there is no quarter.
There is no quarter, no place to hide in this destruction that's befalling the Gulf Coast.
The President's right, Dorian is a nightmare, an utter nightmare.
I quit.
I just quit.
>> I'm telling you, Trump TV is not going to be that far off.
>> I believe it.
>> Because he doesn't know how to run anything, so you think he's gonna have production quality?
But then again- >> That's right, remember when they tried
Trump TV during the campaign?
>> Yes.
>> They were preparing it, and it was two schmucks sitting in the middle of the campaign.
And people would accidentally say things that were related to the campaign in the background,
and people would hear it and know their strategy.
And it was just one guy yelling, okay?
>> This is crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> This is insane.
>> Okay, so one more thing about the real news, which is also fake news by Trump.
So when he's asked to double down, nobody asked him actually, he decided that he was
gonna double down and triple down on, that it was gonna hit Alabama.
There's a quote from Trump, they actually gave that a 95% chance probability-
>> No, they didn't.
>> That it would hit Alabama.
So was like, okay, yeah, great, show us anywhere where it says 95, 90,75, 50 to 5% anywhere,
no, it just is, it's 95% chance.
Where do you get that number?
Well, hey, look at this!
Look at what I found.
He just- >> I don't even really understand what the
point of his lies are, right?
I know he's insecure, he can't ever admit he's wrong, but why did he start off by claiming
that Alabama would be impacted, right?
Look, it's Alabama, a lot of them support Trump, and they trust him, and they believe
everything he says.
Imagine the panic that people must have felt when they saw his statements.
And by the way, after this whole debacle, if you're in Alabama and you've been a Trump
supporter throughout this whole process, even through the whole Rory Moore thing.
How do you still support him?
He lied to you.
>> They don't care at all.
Look, it could be sunny in Alabama and they'll go hide in their bunker.
But Trump said it's gonna be a tornado coming at me, a hurricane is coming at me, earthquake's
coming any second now, it is a 95% chance.
Dude, look up, it's totally sunny.
It's fine, right?
No, they'll believe Trump over their lying eyes.
And why did he say Alabama?
Because he's like goddamn it, another hurricane might hit Puerto Rico, he said that a couple
of weeks ago.
He's like, when is it ever gonna end?
When he said about the hurricane potentially hitting Puerto Rico.
But about Alabama he's like, the good folks in Alabama.
The good folks in Alabama have to worry about this hurricane, but don't worry, I'm here
to protect you.
That's him appealing to his base.
>> Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right about that, and you can even juxtapose, I mean,
even though they are Americans, he doesn't consider Puerto-Ricans Americans.
But even if you wanna juxtapose the way he treats people in mainland USA, right, what
is the word, contiguous?
The contiguous states?
Whatever.
>> The continental United States.
So think about how he responds to a natural disaster in California versus Florida or Texas,
right?
I mean, we had those wildfires and his response was, you aren't raking enough leaves in the
forest and that's why you have the fires in California.
>> Come on, there's so many insane things he says, we can't keep up.
I mean, we've already forgotten that his original idea was to nuke the hurricane.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, seriously, for Republicans, whether they're in the cabinet and they can use the
25th Amendment, or Democrats and Republicans together in Congress doing impeachment.
What will it take for you to take legal action against a person who is clearly mentally unbalanced?
If instead of drawing it in a sharpie he'd drawn the fake hurricane map in crayon, would
that have done it?
And my guess is no.
No, Nancy Pelosi would have been, well, okay, he drew it in crayon, he's obviously lost
his mind, but we're not gonna do anything.
>> I think it's super cute that you think that the writing utensil he utilizes is gonna
change anyone's mind.
It doesn't matter that he used a sharpie or if he would use a crayon.
Wouldn't matter if he used a fuchsia colored crayon.
It doesn't matter.
>> Is there anything he can do?
>> No one holds him accountable, ever, ever.
Which shows you that look, what I've learned through this entire process, and I think we
all knew it, but this is really something that we've been confronted with in the Trump
administration.
Democracy is fragile.
It's so fragile.
And if you don't have the right people protecting it, it will fall apart.
>> Yeah, I mean, even Judge Napolitano, again from Fox News, wrote an editorial today saying,
what do you mean take money from the Defense Department and use it for building the wall?
He's like, that's not how our constitution works, just like we told you on yesterday's
show.
And he's basically saying isn't anybody gonna do anything?
I mean, this is like ripping the constitution up, and Republicans won't do anything, Democrats
won't do anything.
It is amazing.
I mean, it's gotten so bad I think the most accurate thing that Trump ever said was, I
could choose someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.
I think not only with his supporters let him get away with it, I think there's an excellent
chance that Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi would let him get away with it.
>> It might be the only thing he's ever been right about
