00:00Yamiche, good to see you.
00:02The Press, thanks for taking the question.
00:04The President showed a video that he said showed more than 1,000 burial sites of white South Africans that he said were murdered.
00:11We know that that was not true and that the video wasn't showing that.
00:14So I wonder, why did the President choose to show that it's not true that the video was showing a burial site?
00:19It is unsubstantiated. That's the case.
00:22No, it is true that that video showed the crosses that represent
00:26The Press, which is what the President claimed.
00:28The video showed images of crosses in South Africa about white farmers who have been killed and politically persecuted because of the color of their skin.
00:40And those crosses are representing their lives.
00:43Those crosses are representing their lives and the fact that they are now dead and their government did nothing about it.
00:49Are you disputing that there is no...
00:51I'm disputing the fact that the video showed what the President claimed it showed because it did not show that.
00:55But even more, what I'm asking you is who at the White House...
00:57No, it didn't show that.
00:58It showed white crosses representing people who have perished because of racial persecution.
01:02The White House verifies the video that the President shows.
01:04And what protocols are in place when there's unsubstantiated information being put out for the world and world leaders to show?
01:10Yamiche, what's unsubstantiated about the video?
01:12The video shows crosses that represent the dead bodies of people who were racially persecuted by their government.
01:18In fact, the Associated Press, of all places, has a picture of that very monument.
01:24And the caption from the Associated Press is,
01:26Each cross marks a white farmer who has been killed in a farm murder.
01:30So it is substantiated, not just by that video and the physical evidence that everybody saw on display in the Oval Office,
01:36but also by another outlet in this room, the Associated Press.
01:39So you should take it up with them if you believe the claim is unsubstantiated.
01:42And that's a ridiculous line of questioning.
01:45John, go ahead.
01:46.
