THERE ARE A LOT OF STORIES
ABOUT FAKE NEWS.
I THINK FAKE
NEWS DID NOT DETERMINE THE
ELECTION, FOR PEOPLE USING THAT
AS AN EXCUSE, GET REAL.
APPROPRIATE, I'VE GOT TO SAY.
ON
THE OTHER HAND, IS THERE FAKE
NEWS FLOATING AROUND?
YES. AND
DID REPUBLICAN VOTERS ALREADY
BELIEVE IN NONSENSE BEFORE THE
ERA OF FAKE NEWS?
YES, THAT WAS
THE ERA OF FOX NEWS, IT WAS FAKE
ENOUGH.
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO
SHARE WITH YOU A FACT THAT IS --
PREVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE BEEN
AMAZING BUT WE ARE SO USED TO
REPUBLICANS BEING WRONG AND NOT
LIVING IN THE FACT-BASED WORLD
THAT I GUESS A LOT OF YOU WON'T
BE SURPRISED BY IT.
LET ME GIVE
YOU THE NUMBERS HERE FOR HOW
MANY PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THAT
HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR
VOTE.
SHE DID NOT WIN THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE, DONALD TRUMP
WILL BE PRESIDENT, BUT SHE WON
THE POPULAR VOTE.
BUT LOOK AT
THIS --
>>THIS IS NOT REPUBLICAN
VOTERS, THIS IS ALL VOTERS, 29%
BELIEVE TRUMP WON.
THAT IS
INSANE.
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN --
>>YOU HAVE TO BE THINKING, WHO
ARE THE 
INSANE 7% OF DEMOCRATS
WHO THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP WON
THE POPULAR VOTE?
THAT IS THE
THING, GUYS.
NOT EVERYONE IS
KNEE-DEEP IN NEWS, THEY THINK
THEY'LL TRUMP WON, HE MUST HAVE
WON THE POPULAR VOTE.
I
GUARANTEE I CAN FIND YOU 7% OF
AMERICANS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS, THEY
ASSUME THAT WHOEVER IS PRESIDENT
HAD THE MOST VOTES EVEN THOUGH
THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE
FREQUENTLY.
BUT WITH
REPUBLICANS, IT IS NOT 7%, IN
FACT 24% OF INDEPENDENCE IS
SCARY, BUT 52% OF REPUBLICANS?
BY THE WAY, LET ME SHOW YOU THE
POPULAR VOTE COUNT AS IT STANDS
TODAY, HILLARY CLINTON HAS
65,788,583 VOTES, DONALD TRUMP
HAS 62,955,363 THREE VOTES
ACROSS THE NATION, MEANING THAT
HILLARY CLINTON HAS 3 MILLION
MORE VOTES.
HILLARY CLINTON CAN
WIN WIN THE MOST POPULOUS STATE,
CALIFORNIA, BY SUCH A LARGE
MARGIN THAT SHE WINS THE POPULAR
VOTE OVERALL EVEN THOUGH SHE
LOST SOME OTHER STATES BY NARROW
MARGINS, MARGINS AS LOW AS
11,000 VOTES, 30,000 VOTES, AND
SOME CRITICAL RUST BELT STATES.
THAT IS WHY SHE LOSES THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE EVEN THOUGH
SHE HAS A GIANT LEAD IN THE
POPULAR VOTE.
BOTTOM LINE IS, WE
HAVE AT LEAST HALF THE VOTERS IN
ONE OF THE PARTIES IN THE
COUNTRY WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE
REALITY-BASED WORLD.
I DON'T
BELIEVE YOUR STINKING FACTS, I
REFUSE TO IN KNOWLEDGE FACTS,
INFORMATION, REASON, LOGIC, AND
REALITY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
REACT TO THAT.
WE ARE SPEAKING
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, I DON'T
KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH
THEM.
SHOULD I COMMUNICATE WITH
THEM JUST THROUGH EMOTION?
MAY
BE, THE MAIN THING THEY SEEM TO
RESPOND TO HIS FEAR AND HATRED,
MAYBE JUST SCARE THEM OR MAKE
THEM ANGRY OR TRY TO ASSUAGE.
THEIR ANGER.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T
LISTEN TO LOGIC.
YOU CAN GIVE
THEM FACTS ALL DAY LONG, MORE
THAN HALF OF THEM WILL SAY I
DON'T GIVE A DAMN, I DON'T
BELIEVE IN FACT.
THIS IS NOT AN
OPINION.
WHETHER YOU THINK TRUMP
WILL BE A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN
HILLARY, THAT'S AN OPINION.
ANY
PARTICULAR POLICY TRUMP MIGHT
HAVE IS AN OPINION.
WHETHER HE
GOT MORE VOTES IS A FACT, NOT AN
OPINION.
AND OVER HALF OF
REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING, TAKE
THOSE FACTS AND STICK THEM WHERE
THE SUN DON'T SHINE BECAUSE WE
DON'T BELIEVE IN FACTS.
AMAZING.
THAT IS 
WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
