Iron Man Fallacy - FT#120
In the one hundred and twentieth episode we explore the Iron Man Fallacy, starting with Trump citing border security as his reasons for shutting down the government, and failing to let Hugh Hewitt Iron Man his claim that Obama founded ISIS. We also heard Hans Spakovsky, from 2000 Mules, asking why won't someone think of the most vulnerable in society?In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Suella Braverman explaining away her xenophobia as just being tough on crime, and Boris Johnson pretending his lockdown birthday party at Number 10 was just lunch at his desk.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Robocop and Funny GamesJim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made upThen we talk about Tucker Carlson's selective editing of the Jan 6 footage.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft120You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
