took Brett Baier to school going on the offense in enemy territory. Well, Sean Hannity tried to cover up for Brett Baier and the disaster that went down on Fox News as they couldn't help Donald Trump here. Sean Hannity basically calls Vice President Kamala Harris an angry black woman. Just listen for yourself. Play the clip. He didn't let Kamala Harris an angry black woman. Just listen for yourself. Play the clip. He didn't let Kamala off the hook. He pressed her. He pressed her repeatedly. Needless to say, I'd say the joy is gone in the Harris campaign tonight. And her obvious anger, that was on full display, the one she's notorious for. Then Brett Baer went on Sean Hannity and was trying to make excuses why Vice President

Kamala Harris got the better of him in the interview. He was like, it seemed like they were trying to ice us out. Here, watch for yourself. Yeah, obviously. Thanks, Sean. It's great to see you. It was a little tense. We were given the time of 5 p.m. Eastern time. Obviously, my show is at 6 p.m. They wanted the tape at 5 p.m. We said we were going to tape as live. In other words, roll the tape and then just turn that around unedited, uninterrupted. But we had to do it before 5.15. Otherwise, we couldn't turn the whole machine around before the top of the 6 p.m. show so we were waiting at 4 55 and then 5 and then 5 0 5 and then 5 10 at 5 17 the vice president walked out so it did feel a little bit like they're icing

the kicker or trying to and originally they were talking about 25 minutes and they gave us 20 minutes and i was fine with any time i was really happy to get the interview then sean hannity said that vice president kamala harris was actually living in an alternative universe really sean really here play this clip no wonder she showed up late uh They gave Brett very limited time. Kamala Harris is clearly in a state of denial, living in an alternate universe, if you will, where everything bad that ever happened in her administration is the fault of Donald Trump. She wants to believe that because Donald Trump just breathes air and exists, that things started just happening under her watch back to brett bear on the hannity program uh brett bear said uh it seemed like she had a mission and maybe she was trying to you know get some sound bites out of that and maybe she may have got it here play this clip i actually think this is a different take i think she had a uh mission that she wanted to do, and maybe she wanted to have a viral moment.

She wanted to have a pushback. She came to Fox News, and she wanted to have a go-after-Donald-Trump viral moment that plays on a lot of other channels and on social media. And I think she may have gotten that. You think? Then earlier, Bret Baier was trying to make some excuses as well and Brett Baer's like I could see Vice President Kamala Harris's team in the distant and they were waving like they wanted this to stop. So pathetic. Here play this clip. Dana you've been on the other side. You've been on the rapper as a press secretary interviewing a president. And, you know, I'm talking like four people waving their hands.

Like, it's got to stop. So, Martha, final, yeah, I had to dismount there at the end. There's so many things, and she maybe should do more of these. And Jesse Waters had on his show Don Jr. Earlier in the day, Don Jr. was doing this, by the way. I'm not sure what that even is. And then Don Jr.'s like, she got unhinged right away. No, no, she didn't.

I'm going to show some portions of that interview in a moment, but no, she didn't. Here, play this clip. She's going to get steamrolled. This is not a competent person that can handle this. She got unhinged in a very basic interview. Our enemies would love a Kamala Harris presidency. Then Don Jr.'s like, and the mainstream media is not going to play the clips. I think they are. We want to show those clips because Vice President Kamala Harris, the contrast between Vice President

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Have you seen this meme of Donald Trump going around right now? The difference here cannot be more stark. The contrast cannot be made more apparent. Play Don Jr. though. Play the clip. One like me who's been paying attention, and it should be evidence of the rest of Americans once they see that interview. But of course, I'm sure the mainstream media will not show anyone a single clip because that would be the end of their propaganda. Cat food has been the same laptop. Yeah. Oh, I'm just- Cat food has been the same forever. It's time for cat food to move into the 21st century. Don't you agree? That's why you've got to try Smalls. It's time to make kibble, a thing of the past.

Smalls cat food is protein-packed recipes made with preservative-free ingredients you'd find in your fridge, and it's delivered right to your door. That's why veterinarians.org rates Smalls 10 out of 10 for ingredient quality. Now, our cat's favorite flavor is smooth fish, and our cats prefer Smalls way more than the previous cat food. I legitimately did a taste test. I didn't actually eat it myself, but put two bowls side by side and they immediately went to Smalls. Smalls was started back in 2017 by a couple of guys home cooking cat food in small batches for their friends. A few short years later, they've served millions of meals to cats across the country. I feel better

knowing I'm feeding my cat real food, not burnt kibble. I can finally open a packet of cat food and not get nauseous. I actually recognize the ingredients in a packet of Smalls food. So after making the switch to Smalls, 88% of cat owners reported overall health improvement. That's great. That's a big deal. The team at Smalls is so confident your cat will love their product that you can try it risk-free. That means they will refund you if your cat won't eat their food.

He was on CNN and he said, look, she went into enemy territory and handled business. Play this clip. Well, I think we first got to start off. She dove into the deep end of the pool with Fox News and Brett Baier, and she did extremely well. She answered the questions on message. And, you know, look, the Republicans she's trying to track down right now at this point in the campaign are not the Republicans she's going to flip from Trump to herself. She's just trying to flip those Republicans that weren't going to show up and vote and just sit on the couch.

I think they heard a message today that was consistent, and they were able to that they can legislatively work with that's more liberal, but doesn't lie to them every time he opens his mouth. Jonah, I wanna get your overall impression of you. And then here you had Brian Stelter reiterating that, play the clip. I totally agree, actually. I think this strategy from Harris was a Google strategy. She wanted Fox viewers to start to Google some of the things she was saying, because some of the comments she was making in this interview are foreign to the Fox audience. For example, General Mark Milley saying Trump is a fascist to the core, that's barely been covered on Fox News. So she was able to get some of those talking points in. This was the most adversarial interview Kamala Harris has

probably ever done. Instead of getting to debate Trump again, she got to debate Brett Baier. And a lot of viewers are going to come away saying, wow, she's willing to do that. That's a sign of toughness and strength. Yeah, it's impressive indeed. And here you had Max Rose on CNN reiterating it. Play the clip. That was a home run because she sent the one message that needs to be sent, which was, I will go anywhere at any time and show the courage necessary to speak to every American

because that's what a real president does. The primary critique against her prior to this point was that she was not doing enough interviews. No one thought that the Fox News interview was going to go swimmingly every step of the way. Everyone knew it would be adversarial, but she showed exactly what she needed to show, which was that she is a leader ready to be president on day one. Laura Ingraham on Fox. She tried to cover it up. So who's your other Trump surrogate? Well,

Jesse Waters got Don Jr. Usse, now bring in Cousse, Saddam Hussein's kids. Let's bring in Eric Trump. Eric Trump, let's see what you got to talk about. Play this clip. Your dad was at the Detroit Economic Club yesterday and put on, I thought, was just like a masterclass that phrases you so, you know, too frequently. But it really was a masterclass in leverage, negotiations, why tariffs are important tool in negotiations. And I thought to myself, Kamala Harris could not do that if her life depended on it. Explain the Federal Reserve. What does it do? Explain how, you know, you know, the Fed, you know, works with interest rates. How does that affect markets? Do you think she could do that? I mean, I know you

probably you're going to say no, but she couldn't do that again if their life depended on it. Also, it wasn't the Detroit Economic Club. The Detroit Economic Club is where Donald Trump apparently soiled himself in public. Again, the Chicago Economic Club was the more recent one. Here, Eric Trump says that Vice President Kamala Harris never really had a job because she didn't sign the front of checks. Eric, tell us Americans how you really feel about us. OK, here, play this clip. Well, I mean, Laura, us Americans how you really feel about us, okay? Here, play this clip. Well, I mean, Laura, she's never actually had a real job, right? I mean, she's been in the federal government her entire adult life. She's never signed

the front of a check. I mean, she's- And Eric Trump's like, I'm a smart guy. I'm really smart. Play the clip. The contradictions don't make sense. I'm a really smart guy, but none of us could follow it. I don't think you could follow it either. I mean- No. No, look, to be fair, some Fox hosts had to recognize defeat that Vice President Kamala Harris did an incredible interview at Fox. For example, here we go. Play it. You did a great job because you asked the tough questions and you went back at her with tough questions. And she should be pleased with how she performed this evening. Here's Brit Hume. Here's what he's gotta say.

Well, she was combative and energetic and she certainly landed some blows on Donald Trump. Dana Perino, here's what Perino had to say, play the clip. At times, especially when she was trying to go after Donald Trump, she was fairly effective in that to try to get her point of view across. Let me show you what Vice President Kamala Harris, let's show you her taking care of business in that interview with Bret Baier. Bret Baier tries to show her a deceptively edited clip. She picks up onto it right away and says, you're not showing the clip, Bret. That wasn't the clip where Donald Trump says that he wants to send the U.S. military on Americans,

where Donald Trump calls the enemy from within. You're playing this clip. If he's as bad as you say, that half of this country is now supporting this person who could be the 47th president of the United States. Why is that happening? This is an election for president of the United States. It's not supposed to be easy. I know, but it's not supposed to States. It's not supposed to be easy. I know, but it's not supposed to be.

It is not supposed to be a cakewalk for anyone. So are they misguided, the 50%? Are they stupid? What is it? Oh, God, I would never say that about the American people. And in fact, if you listen to Donald Trump, if you watch any of his rallies, he's the one who tends to demean and belittle and diminish the American people. He's the one who talks about an enemy within, an enemy within, talking about the American people, suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people. We asked that question to

the former president today. Harris Faulkner had a town hall, and this is how he responded. I heard about that. They were saying I was like threatening. I'm not threatening anybody. They're the ones doing the threatening. They do phony investigations. I've been investigated more than Alphonse Capone. He was the greatest. No, it's true. Think of it. It's called weaponization of government. It's a terrible thing. So, Brett, I'm sorry. And with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within that he has repeated when he's speaking about the American people. That's not what you just showed.

He was asked. No, no, no. That's not what you just showed in all fairness and respect to you. That was the question that we asked. You didn't show that. And here's the bottom line. He has repeated it many times. and you and I both know that, and you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked

about locking people up because they disagree with him. This is a democracy. And in a democracy, the president of the United States in the United States of America should be willing to be able to handle criticism without saying he'd lock people up for doing it. And this is what is at stake, which is why you have someone like the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying what Mark Milley has said about Donald Trump being a threat to the United States of America. He's quoted in the Bob Woodward book that way. Yes. Let me add Vice President Kamala Harris in his next clip said, Brett, stop interrupting

me. Let me finish what I'm saying here. I'm trying to answer your question. This is how it's done, folks. Let's play it. Before the bipartisan Safe Communities Act, the first bill, practically within hours of taking the oath, was a bill to fix our immigration system. Yes, ma'am.

It was called the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. It was essentially a pathway to citizenship. May I please finish? Yes, ma'am. It was called the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. Exactly. It was essentially a pathway to citizenship for the... May I please finish? Yes, ma'am. May I finish responding, please? But you have to let me finish, please. You had the White House and the House and the Senate, and they didn't bring up that bill. I'm in the middle of responding to the point you're raising, and I'd like to finish. Yes, ma'am.

We recognized from day one that to the point of this being your first question, it is a priority for us as a nation and for the American people. And our focus has been on fixing a problem. And from day one then, we have done a number of things, including to address our asylum system and put more resources, getting more judges, what we needed to do to tighten up penalties and increase penalties for illegal crossings, what we needed to do to deal with points of entry between border entry points. That's the work we did, and we worked on supporting what was a bipartisan effort, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress,

to actually strengthen the border. That border bill would have put 1500 more border agents at the border, which is why I believe the border patrol agents supported the bill. It would have allowed us to stem the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States, which is a scourge affecting people of every background, every geographic location in our country, killing people. It would have allowed us to put more resources into prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, which I have done as the Attorney General, former Attorney General of a border state. Madam Vice President, a couple of things. Prosecuted trafficking of drugs, guns, and human beings.

Six Democrats. But let me human beings. Six Democrats. But let me just finish. Six Democrats voted against that bill. Donald Trump learned about that bill and told them to kill it because he preferred to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. And in this election, this is rightly a discussion that the American people want to have. And what they want are solutions. And they want a president of the United States who's not playing political games with the issue. want to have. And what they want are solutions. And they want a president of the United States

who's not playing political games with the issue. I hear you. But I- Right. Now compare that to when Donald Trump went on Maria Bartiromo. And he said that the bigger problem, he goes, a bigger problem than Putin and President Xi, he goes, it's the enemy within Americans, he says.

And he says that he will send the military on Americans. Play the clip. Are you expecting chaos on election day? No, I don't think so. Not from the side that votes for Trump. But I'm just wondering if these outside agitators will start up on election day. Let's say you win. I mean, let's not let's let's remember you've got 50,000 Chinese nationals in this country

in the last couple of years. You have people on the terrorist watch list this country in the last couple of years you have people on the terrorist watch list 350 in the last couple of years you got like you said 13 000 murderers and 15 000 rapists um what are you expecting joe biden said he doesn't think it's going to be a peaceful election day well he doesn't have any idea what's happening in ralph as he spends most of his day sleeping uh i think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and destroying our country. By the way, totally destroying our country. The towns, the villages, they're being inundated.

But I don't think they're the problem in terms of election day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they're the, and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military, because they can't let that happen. Yeah. That's the clip you were in showing, Brett Baer, and many clips like that, that's what Donald Trump said. But we, the people, and we, the Midas Mighty, we know those clips because

we show them every day. Here, Donald Trump, just compare what you saw with Vice President Kamala Harris there to hear Donald Trump at this bizarre Oaks, Pennsylvania town hall where he just shuts down the town hall in the middle of it. He's like, can I just bob my head to music? Here, play the clip. Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music. Let's make it head to music. Here, play the clip. Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music. Let's make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right? Isn't that beautiful, though?

It's so beautiful. We played that in Butler, Pennsylvania. We had a moment of silence, and then we had the bells of Notre Dame go off, and then we had a great opera singer, Christopher, who was so incredible and a great, great opera singer. And remember the interview at the Chicago Economic Club that Fox was like, oh, so good. Really? It was the worst.

So take what you just saw of Vice President Kamala Harris and contrast it to this. Justice Department is thinking about breaking up Alphabet, as Google likes to be known now. Should Google be broken up? I just haven't gotten over something the Justice Department did yesterday, where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes, and the Justice Department sued them that they should be thousands and thousands of bad votes and the Justice Department sued them that they should be allowed to put those bad votes and illegal votes back in and let the people vote. So I haven't gotten over that.

A lot of people have seen that. They can't even believe it. The question is about Google, President Trump. Yeah, look, Google's got a lot of power. They're very bad to me. Very, very bad to me very very bad to me i mean i i can speak from that standpoint and also contrasted to this play the clip you got to be able to finish a thought because it's very important you know this is big stuff

we're talking about you can't go that you've gone from the dollar so let me just tell you so i said no i'm just telling you basic. It's called the weave. It's all these different things happening. So let me just say. So I said to Mnuchin. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think.
