continues to behave like an absolute psychopath or Donald Trump's out there hanging out with Laura Loomer.
It's a sight to behold.
And Democrats are punching back.
They're going on Fox shows also and being very aggressive.
Watch this.
You have a Fox host approach Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell on Capitol Hill.
Watch what Congress member Swalwell does here.
Play the clip.
Not worried about the ambiguity surrounding Harris this close to election day.
I'm worried about the ambiguity surrounding Donald Trump. I'm also worried about his
health because he didn't look good.
So Neil Cavuto has been attacked recently by Donald Trump because Cavuto was very critical
of Donald Trump on Fox. So Cavuto, I guess, tried to make up for it, but he had
Ian Sams, who's a surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris on. And here's what Cavuto said.
He goes, but Donald Trump can sure pack those crowds in, can he? Watch the response by Vice
President Kamala Harris's surrogate, Ian Sams, play this clip. Say what you will of the former
president. He can pack them in. He used to. You know, he's a
faded image of his former self. I think in 2016, you know, he had a lot more excitement, a lot more
people showing up. I think now, you know, we're on season nine of this show and maybe they've lost
the plot a little bit and I think would prefer a new set of characters. And here Sam's is again,
play this clip. I mean, you know, the former president might
stretch certain truths a little far, but when it comes to crowds in his rallies, he does pack them
in. I think you would have to admit that. And his crowds are significantly bigger than Kamala
Harris's crowds. Would you acknowledge at least that much? I'm not sure if you've been watching
crowds in rallies over the last couple of months, and I don't think that's the case. I'm not sure if you've been watching crowds and rallies over the last couple
months, and I don't think that's the case. I think we've seen a lot of people who are wandering off
in the middle of his 45-minute long rants about electric sharks and Hannibal Lecter.
And look, folks, facts matter, and Ian Sams is 100% right right here. Like,
take a look from last night's event. This is Donald Trump's crowd in Las Vegas.
He couldn't pack them in, barely could get or barely could draw 2,500 people in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Here, just watch this room. You'll see the empty seats, low energy. Play this clip.
This entire venue only holds about 2,000 to 3,000 people.
Look at this.
Look at how small this venue is.
This is it.
About 3,000 people it holds.
That's it.
Okay, now compare this to the crowd of nearly 20,000 people that Vice President Kamala Harris
gave a speech in front of in North Carolina.
Now, she spoke at Greensboro.
It was her second stop in North Carolina with this crowd, the first crowd, massive crowd
in Charlotte.
She did two speeches there, filled up big crowds.
Play this clip. And then Fox tries to get Donald Trump to say something normal.
And they say, so would you do another debate?
What do you need?
And then just watch this response, play this clip. What would it take to do another debate? What do you need? And then just watch this response, play this clip.
What would it take to do another debate? What would you need?
I wouldn't need anything. I could do it tomorrow, but I've done two debates.
Everything was crooked in the second one.
I did great with the debates and I think they've answered everything,
but maybe if I got in the right mood, I don't know right now I'm leading.
And I'm leading in every single poll on the debates.
Thank you.
It's so good to which Ian Sams goes back on Fox and he's like, hey, Neil, doesn't it seem that Trump's awfully moody lately?
What happened to him?
Here, play this clip.
Let me ask you a little bit about what Arisha Hostie might have gotten out of President Trump.
Maybe a small crack opening in the door to another
debate. Is it your belief that despite his not wanting one, maybe he is hinting at one?
Well, I thought his exact wording was pretty interesting. He said if he's in the right mood,
he might do a debate. He seems awfully moody. I don't know if he's in the right mood uh he might do a debate he seems awfully moody i don't know if he's just
working through his feelings after tuesday night but as the vice president has said you know the
american people deserve a second debate they deserve to see the choice in this election
between kamala harris and a proposed vision that brings the country forward and turns the page
on the chaotic division of donald trump and offering real plans, whether it's grocery costs,
housing costs, the things your reporter just talked about, that she's put forward to take
those things on? Or do we go back to Donald Trump and his show that he likes to put on that is very
dependent on his mood, but with an agenda that's pretty scary? More tax cuts for those at the very
top, taking away our freedoms, whether it's reproductive freedoms, voting rights, things like that. That's the choice that people get to see on stage in a
debate. And so she thinks that the American people deserve another one. And I guess we'll see if
President Trump's mood changes to allow him to do that.
Then you had Philippe Brains, who actually helped prep Vice President Kamala Harris on the debate.
Watch him just mock Ari Fleischer.
And Fleischer used to be the press secretary for Bush.
He's now a MAGA hack.
Watch Philippe Brains.
Watch what he does here.
Play this clip.
Well, first, I want to say it's great to be back.
And, Clay, despite the backhanded compliment, thank you.
I look,
when Ari is good, when Ari first started speaking and he said this is a contrast press conference, I honestly thought he was going to say that it was a contrast between Donald Trump today and
Donald Trump Tuesday, because let's not gloss over what we saw. And look, I know my two fellow
guests are way too smart to pretend otherwise.
That was a terrible debate performance on the part of Donald Trump.
He just absolutely malfunctioned.
I have to tell you about this game-changing product I use before a night out with drinks.
It's called pre-alcohol.
Let's face it, after a night of drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to.
I used to feel like I had to make a choice.
I could either have a great night or a great next day. But now, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I used to feel like I had to make a choice. I could either have a great night or a great next day, but now I don't have to
choose thanks to pre-alcohol. Zeobiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically
engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after
drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct
in the gut.
It's actually this byproduct, not dehydration, that's the blame for your next rough day.
Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks this byproduct down. Just remember to make
Z-biotics your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.
Every time I pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after
a night out, I can confidently plan on getting up early for a workout or handling a busy workday without worry. I won't lie, I was a bit on the
fence about pre-alcohol at first, but then while hanging out with some friends at a rooftop bar,
I gave it a shot. I had my first pre-alcohol before my go-to margarita, and the next morning,
I felt amazing, just like my normal self, ready to take on the day.
I kept hearing about pre-alcohol and wondered what it was actually like.
Now that I've tried it, I believe the hype.

Vice President Kamala Harris is artificial intelligence. What does it even mean?
She's AI? What the heck are you talking about? Play this clip.
His contrast is with artificial intelligence, which is what Kamala Harris was at that debate.
She was just programmed to say everything she said. There was no spontaneous thinking.
And Fox continued to struggle.
They were trying to broadcast Donald Trump's speech from Ranchos Palos Verdes in California.
They had it cut out and they cut out like right before because they have to cover up that Donald Trump says this stuff. So Donald Trump says that one of the mass deportation operations he wants to run is he wants to round up, he says, the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, based on his own made up lie that the Haitians are eating people's cats and dogs and pigeons and geese.
And he goes, he wants to take the Haitians and move them to Venezuela.
This is what Donald Trump was saying in his speech.
Play this clip.
No, I will.
Maybe Springfield, maybe Aurora,
maybe both. We'll go there. I can say this. We will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio,
large deportations. We're going to get these people out. We're bringing them back to Venezuela.
You know, he told Biden he's not accepting anybody back. They moved all their criminals,
not all of them, but the rest are moving in now.
So no wonder Fox cut before that because they tried to sane wash this.
Let me show you how Fox tries to sane wash Donald Trump to not show their audience the
types of things you just saw.
Play the clip.
And it's not even nice.
I saw a picture.
President Donald Trump continues to speak there in Rancho Palos Verdes,
California. John, he started about 126. He's been going for about 34 minutes so far,
35 minutes or so and counting and really laying out a message to voters
about why he thinks Kamala Harris is a bad choice for president. He's been-
By the way, if you take a look at Drudge Report, this was their front page.
Loomer Magalov, has Donald Trump found his real soulmate?
Where's Melania?
Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Donald Trump in a rage.
A MAGA civil war escalates.
And Fox just doesn't know what to do.
They have Karl Rove go on Fox Business.
And he says how ill-prepared Donald Trump was at the debate.
Play this clip.
Titled A Catastrophic Debate for Trump, which reads in part, as is frequently the case of Mr. Trump. He let his emotions get the better of
him and did a terrible job at his most important task, tying her to President Biden's failed
policies. There's no putting lipstick on this pig. Mr. Trump was crushed by a woman he previously
dismissed as dumb as a rock, which raises the question, what does that make him?
So can you expand on this? Again, it's still number one on the website this morning, Carl.
Well, well, thank you for that. But look, I'm amazed he was ill prepared for this debate.
Everybody knew that the ABC was going to fact check. They said they were going to do it. So be prepared for it. First of all,
he should have remembered EIB slash TW, economy, inflation, border. Any time spent talking about something else was wasted time. And occasionally if the world came up, if somebody else, if
Kamala Harris or the panelists brought up, the questioners brought up in the world talk about
that but that's what this this is where he's winning if he talks about the economy inflation
in the border so fact checking call him on it well here's carl rove again play the clip all more
examples yeah and look he knew this was going to happen so what you know matt gates you know uh
tulsi gabbard laura loomer why didn't somebody
in that room say mr president they're gonna they're they're they're it's abc they're going
to be fact checking and you can count on the dominant media fact checking you more than her
so let us arm you with with a technique and look for the opportunity and maybe they did maybe he
didn't do it but i'm going to tell you that was one of the well, that was only one of the two major shortcomings.
I think the other major shortcoming was they knew she was going to provoke him.
First of all, remember, any time spent on talking anything other than the economy, inflation, the border.
And if somebody else brings it up, the world is wasted time. So they knew he was going to be provoked.
They knew that she was going to find some way. And she did it effectively. And he bit every time.
You know, your crowd size of people, you know, get tired and leave. You know, what he should have said was, you know what? I know what you're trying to do. You don't want to talk about the
economy, inflation or the border. So you're bringing up these side issues. But it's not
going to work with me. And the next time she tried to provoke him, he could say, you know what? Nice try. Not going to work. I'm going
to stay focused on the things that American people care about. You keep trying those childish debate
tactics and that's fine by me. I'm not you're not going to get to me. And he would have come across
as, you know, laughing. He could have been confident. He could have been strong. But instead,
he didn't. He took the bait and he shouldn't have taken the debate and he should have flipped it back,
whatever it was, back to economy, inflation, border.
And if it was in a part of the conversation about the state of America and the world,
talk about that.
OK, Carl.
But just so you have a sense of like who's watching Fox and like what a Trump supporter
looks like right now.
So here is one of the Trump supporters who attended that teeny tiny Las Vegas, Nevada rally. And they're now saying that actually the Haitians are not
just eating dogs and cats, but they're actually cannibals and they're eating human beings. They
said, these lies are so dangerous and just so dumb. Play this clip. Have Haitian immigrants
ever tried to eat your dog?
Serious question.
I know, it's just crazy.
I'm not even joking.
They're not eating only the dog, they're eating also the people.
Yeah, what do you think about that?
What should they do with those people?
Teach them to eat beef.
Just teach them to eat beef.
Teach them to eat beef.
Yeah, that's all you gotta do. What do you make of that story in Springfield, Ohio?
Like, you're a dog owner.
You have a beautiful dog.
You're a dog owner.
I'm a video.
Yeah.
You know what I make of it?
What do you make of it, sir?
I'm tired of eating rats.
So then you have Sean Hannity rail against Ben and Jerry's.
Play the clip.
All right, Ben and Jerry's, the liberal ice cream company,
they have created a new flavor to help boost Kamala Harris. They call it Kamala's Coconut
Jubilee. It is part of a swing state bus tour hosted by the company, along with the left wing
organization Move On Political Action. Now they'll be giving away free ice cream and helping turn out the vote
for Democrats. If you ask me, Ben and Jerry, they missed a huge opportunity. As I've said,
this stuff is just so weird. Then Jesse Waters brings on Donald Trump's spokesperson, Caroline
Leavitt. Just watch this. A terrible president that has been proven true by her interview today
and her debate performance on Tuesday. She's she's gonna be doing and for no particular
reason I'm showing you this photo of Donald Trump and Laura Loomer and this one. Anyway,
