Summary

President Donald Trump gave an oval office address last night discussing immigration and border security. Afterward several mainstream outlets "fact checked him." However much of this fact checking was just opinion masquerading as fact. It was actually just more fake news

To make it worse many mainstream news outlets didn't even agree with each others "facts"

The one fact that most people agree on, however, is that Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer's response to the president was creepy and weird. Typically democrats don't respond to republican's in this way and vice versa.

Yesterday, President Trump addressed the nation on the issue of illegal immigration and border security.

0:04.5

It was his first address from the Oval Office. He kept it kind of short, mostly stuck to the facts,

0:08.4

but his opinions were in there. Afterwards, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer responded,

0:12.4

which is kind of strange because typically, the opposition doesn't respond to an Oval Office

0:17.0

address. But Pelosi and Schumer mostly just gave their opinions. And that's not my opinion.

0:22.1

Various news organizations were fact checking what Trump said, and they were also fact checking

0:26.2

Schumer and Pelosi, but they didn't actually have much to fact checks, so most of the articles

0:30.5

don't have anything from them. But these articles highlight a much bigger problem. See, my goal today

0:36.6

was to fact check the fact check. And you try and figure out what was true and what's really going

0:41.1

on with the border wall and the southern border. Unfortunately, most of these mainstream organizations

0:46.7

like NPR, CNN, and New York Times, they don't agree with each other. They fact check Donald Trump

0:51.7

and gave different answers to what was true and what was false. So how was anyone supposed to know

0:57.2

what the hell is actually going on? There is one column, however, from the Washington Post saying

1:02.1

that straight up, Donald Trump took the night and I got to admit Nancy Pelosi and Schumer looked

1:06.0

kind of creepy. So today, let's take a look at what was said during the Oval Office address,

1:12.1

how Chuck Schumer and Pelosi came out, and whether or not anything was true or false because I got

1:17.9

to say it's mostly just opinion from all these news organizations. But before we get started,

1:34.7

the Washington Post, Trump won the night, Schumer and Pelosi lost. Now, a lot of conservatives believe

1:40.3

this is a direct statement from the Washington Post. No, this is one column from one person's opinion
