1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Debate Takeaways with Me, with Megan Kelly, with Brittany Mayer.

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: We talked about nine to eleven. Sean Parnell is here.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: It's a big night tonight, and I'm right, okay, I'm

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: sure you've spent the day consuming post debate analysis Trump

5
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: took on Dome last night, and so I'm just going

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: to lay it out for you. Don't really care if

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: you're offended by what I'm about to say. We have

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: to be honest about some things. So here we go.

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't a good night. I'll get to the reasons

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: why in a moment. There is a silver lining at

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: the end of this if you want to hang on.

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a good night. It wasn't a good night.

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: And I understand what everyone, myself included, is screaming today.

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: I understand everyone is screaming today about the moderators, moderators, this,

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: moderators that, And yes, of course the moderators were awful.

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: They have abortion in the ninth month.

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: There is no state in this country where it is

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: legal to kill a baby after it's born.

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 4: Man and Vice President want to get your response to

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: President Trump. Well, as I said, you're going to hear

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of lies in Springfield.

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: eating the cats.

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: I just want to clarify here. You bring up Springfield, Ohio,

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 3: and ABCDWS did reach out to the city manager there.

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: He told us there have been no credible reports of

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: individuals within the immigrant community.

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: Let me say, okay, yes, the moderators were horribly bad.

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: David Murror, Lindsey Lip injections. They went all in, and

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: we knew they would. We talked about this a little

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: bit yesterday. Dome. She was falling in the polls before this,

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: doing well. The betting odds were all going in Trump's favor.

34
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: He was the one looking strong. She was the one

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: who needed to have a good performance at this debate.

36
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: She could not get up there and be ahaha, ditzy

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: airhead that she normally is. It would have sunk her campaign.

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: ABC and those two filthy communists who moderated it, they

39
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: knew that. Did they slipper the questions? Of course they did.

40
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Did they decide to go all in and burn down

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: what tiny bit of credibility they may have had left. Yes,

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: of course they did. All those things are true. But

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: it was not a great night for us. It wasn't disastrous.

44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't the end of the world. Again. I'll get

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: to that in a moment. But it was a bad

46
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: night for us. And this goes way beyond Donald Trump's

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: performance last night. This is a lesson for you, for me,

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: for everyone watching running for office, who has run for office,

49
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: might run for office. You need to remember this now

50
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: and always, always, always fight your battle on your battlefield.

51
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: There are endless military books and proverbs and sayings that

52
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: have been written about exactly this. You choose your battlefield.

53
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: If I am a boxer and you are a wrestler

54
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: and we get in a fight, you want to go

55
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: to the ground, you should not stand and box with me.

56
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: I want to stand up. I want to keep it

57
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: off the ground because I don't want to wrestle with you.

58
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: And if I'm able to stand up, I will win.

59
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: If you're able to get it to the ground, you

60
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: will win. The one who decides what the subject is,

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the one who chooses the battle during the debate, will

62
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: be the winner of the debate. And what blows me away,

63
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: what may be so mad as I watched this horrible

64
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: performance last night from Donald Trump. What blows me away

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: is Trump knows how to do that. He knows how

66
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: to stay on message and choose his battle. Do you

67
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: remember the first debate with Joe Biden, January sixth came up,

68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: and but before I play it, Before I play it,

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: remember that these debates aren't for you or me. I

70
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: know I'm already voting for Trump. I know who I'm

71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: voting for. The debates are not for you, They're not

72
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: for me. These debates are for the norms, the normans

73
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: that I really know I don't find of politics. It's

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: for those people. And as passionate as I am about

75
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: January sixth, the evil things the government did on that

76
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: day and has done to those political prisoners ever since,

77
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: the evil things they're doing to Trump, I'm passionate about

78
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: January sixth, I am. The average American voter doesn't want

79
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: to hear about it, doesn't want to talk about it.

80
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: They don't they don't care. And if you talk about it,

81
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: you're losing. Donald Trump knew this in the first debate.

82
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper, of course, throws some loaded question at Donald

83
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Trump about January sixth. Do you want to see a

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: master class at you choosing what you want to talk about.

85
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: Look at the first version of Trump as president.

86
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: You swore an oath to quote, preserve, protect, and defend

87
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 5: unquote the Constitution. What do you say to voters who

88
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: believe that you violated that oath through your actions and

89
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 5: inaction on January sixth, and worry that you'll do it again.

90
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think you many believe that.

91
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: And let me tell you about January sixth. On January sixth,

92
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: we had a great border, nobody coming through, very few.

93
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: On January sixth, we were energy independent. On January sixth,

94
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: we had the lowest taxes ever, We had the lowest

95
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: regulations ever. On January sixth, we were respected all over

96
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: the world. All over the world, we were respected. And

97
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: then he comes in and we're now left that we're

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: like a bunch of stupid people. That what happened to

99
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: the United States's reputation under this man's leadership is horrible,

100
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: including weaponization, which I'm sure at some point you'll be

101
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: talking about where he goes after his political opponent because

102
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 2: he can't beat him fair and square.

103
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, just hang that in a museum somewhere.

104
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: That's Donald Trump painting a masterpiece on how to debate,

105
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: how to stay on your message, ignore their bad framing,

106
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: you talk about what you want, you stay on. It

107
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: was perfect. It was perfect. I stood up in my

108
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: house as I was watching that, and I cheered. I

109
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: stood up and cheered. It was that good. Now I

110
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: know Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential debate. Apparently

111
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: that version of Donald Trump did too, because here was

112
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: the same question from last night, and here's how he

113
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: answered it.

114
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: Mister President, on January sixth, you told your supporters to

115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: march to the Capitol. You said you would be right

116
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: there with them. The country in the world saw what

117
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: played out of the Capitol that day, the officers coming

118
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: under attack. Aids in the West Wings say you watched

119
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: it unfold on television off the Oval office. You did

120
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: send out tweets, but it was more than two hours

121
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: before you sent out that video message telling your supporters

122
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: to go home. Is there anything you regret about what

123
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: you did on that day?

124
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 2: You just said a thing that isn't covered peacefully and patriotically,

125
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: I said during my speech, not later on, peacefully and

126
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: patriotically and nobody on the other side was killed. Ashley

127
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: Babbitt was shot by an out of control police officer

128
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: that should have never ever shot her. It's a disgrace,

129
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: but we didn't do this group of people that have

130
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: been treated so badly. I ask, what about all the

131
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: people that are pouring into our country and killing people

132
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: that she allowed to port it? She was the boorders are?

133
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: Remember that she was the borders are?

134
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: What was that taking the bait? Taking the bait playing defense.

135
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and the debate moderators, they're one and the same.

136
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: They came into that debate knowing how to get under

137
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's skin if he was to allow them. Remember,

138
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: you decide if you're offended or not. I don't decide,

139
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: so why I tell you all the time, I don't

140
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: care if you're offended. I don't care if you're offended

141
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: right now, that's a the choice you've made. I haven't

142
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: made it. You decide your emotional response to the things

143
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: that are said to you Donald Trump. In the first debate,

144
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: they let all that stuff bounce right off nothing. Last night,

145
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and her team very clearly came in with

146
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: a plan to bait Donald Trump, get him off message

147
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: and get him playing defense. At one point in time,

148
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: they had Donald Trump fact checking them about just how

149
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: many hundreds of millions of dollars his father left them.

150
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: I grew up a middle class kid, raised by a

151
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 4: hardworking mother who worked and saved and was able to

152
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: buy our first home when I was a teenager. The

153
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 4: values I bring to the importance of home ownership, knowing

154
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: not everybody got handed four hundred million dollars on a

155
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 4: silver platter and then filed bankruptcy six times is a

156
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: value that I bring to my work to say we

157
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: are going to work with the private sector and home

158
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: builders to increase three million homes, increase buy three million

159
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: homes by the end of my first term.

160
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I wasn't given four hundred million dollars.

161
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: I wish I was. My father was a.

162
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: Brooklyn build at Brooklyn Queens and a great father, and

163
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: I learned a lot from him. But I was given

164
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: a fraction of that, a tiny fraction, and have built

165
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: it into many many billions of dollars, many many billions,

166
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 2: and when people see it they are even surprised. So

167
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: we don't have to talk about that fracking she's been

168
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: against it for twelve years.

169
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: People don't care. They can't afford eggs. People who are

170
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: watching the American Dream disappear in front of their eyes.

171
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear you talk about your inheritance.

172
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: It was a bad performance. It's terrible. It's the worst

173
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen him do, and juxtaposed that with Dome,

174
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: it's the best I've ever seen her do. I don't Yeah,

175
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: I know she lied the whole time. I understand that

176
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: she lied the whole time. Came off as nervous in

177
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: the beginning. She came in there, she didn't look like

178
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: the ditsy queen she actually is, which is a win

179
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: for them. She was on message, got him playing defense

180
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: most of the night. I will say this, it took

181
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: him too long to get warmed up. By now, most

182
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: people had turned it off. But towards the end, Trump

183
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: was getting much better about getting on message, getting his

184
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: points across.

185
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: So she just started by saying she's going to do this,

186
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: She's going to do that, She's going.

187
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: To do all these wonderful things.

188
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: Why hasn't she done it. She's been there for three

189
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: and a half year years, they've had three and a

190
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: half years to fix the border. They've had three and

191
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: a half years to create jobs and all the things

192
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: we talked about. Why hasn't she done it? She should

193
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: leave right now, go down to that beautiful White House,

194
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: go to the Capitol, get everyone together, and do the

195
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: things you want to do. But you haven't done it,

196
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: and you won't do it because you believe in things

197
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: that the American people don't believe in. You believe in

198
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: things like we're not going to frack, we're not going

199
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: to take fossil fuel. We're not going to do things

200
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: that are going to make this country strong, whether you

201
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: like it or not. We can't sacrifice our country for

202
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: the sake of bad vision. But I just ask one

203
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: simple question, why didn't she do it? We're a failing nation.

204
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: We're a nation that's in serious decline. We're being laughed

205
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 2: at all over the world. All over the world they laugh.

206
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: I know the leaders very well. They're coming to see me,

207
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: they call me. We're laughed at all over the world.

208
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: We're going to end up in a third World war,

209
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: and it'll be a warlike no other because of nuclear weapons,

210
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: the power of weaponry. I rebuilt our entire military. She

211
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 2: gave a lot of it away to the Taliban, She

212
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: gave it to Afghanistan. What these people have done to

213
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: our country, and maybe toughest of all is allowing millions

214
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: of people to come into our country. Many of them

215
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: are criminals, and they're destroying our country. The worst president,

216
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: the worst vice president in the history of our country.

217
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: That was awesome. That should have been the opening statement.

218
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: You had three and a half years, Why haven't you

219
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: done it? It should have been every answer you had

220
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: three and a half years. Why why haven't you done it?

221
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: You had three and a half years, Why haven't you

222
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: done it? That was excellent, though it took a while

223
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: to get warmed up. Now before we get to Megan

224
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Kelly and her savaging of the moderators, allow me to

225
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: throw this silver lining in all this. It was a

226
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: bad night, No question, was bad night, all right. If

227
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: you pay attention at all to the various focus groups

228
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: they from these debates, they'll find groups of undecided voters.

229
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Tons of people do this now. Undecided voters were not

230
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: blown away by Kamala Harris's performance. They didn't think Donald

231
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: Trump did well, they didn't think she did well. They

232
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: were very aware of how biased. The moderators were. So

233
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: the silver lining is maybe the American people, even the

234
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: norms and normas out there, understand a rigged debate when

235
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: they see one. And this really won't affect much. And

236
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it will. It's now about blocking and tackling.

237
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: The debate's over, dig In, go win the presidency all

238
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: right now. Megan Kelly wasn't too happy about the moderators.

239
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 6: I'm disgusted.

240
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 7: I'm ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did

241
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 7: exactly what their bosses.

242
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 6: Wanted them to do. It was three against one.

243
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 7: It's very easy to look like you know what you're

244
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 7: doing when both moderate are entirely on your side.

245
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: Well, hard to argue with any of that. Nor would

246
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I argue with Megan Kelly about something like that anyway,

247
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: She'd probably kill me. Joining me now. Megan Kelly, journalist,

248
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: host to The Megan Kelly Show, which is amazing serious

249
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: sexem Triumph Channel one to eleven every weekday at noon

250
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Eastern time. Megan Okay, So, David Muir and Lindsey Lip injections,

251
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: they carried Kamala Harris through the debate. We knew they

252
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: were going to carry her through the debate. They went

253
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: all in and they just they just looked Credibility obviously

254
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a concern. They were going all in trying to

255
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: win an election. It was obvious.

256
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 6: Oh, I have so many feelings about it.

257
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 7: I'm actually really looking forward to hearing how you're feeling too,

258
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 7: because I'm angry. I'm kind of down about it. I

259
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 7: feel just depressed about what happened last night.

260
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 6: Frustrated.

261
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 7: I realized that what you and I are doing in

262
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 7: our independent lane is the answer and the to this

263
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 7: terrible thing that's happened to the profession of journalism. But

264
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 7: right now there's a presidential election to win, and we

265
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 7: have these very powerful forces working to undermine one candidate

266
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 7: in a way I've never seen before.

267
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 6: Jesse. This is I don't know.

268
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 7: Sixteen was bad, but I think there was still at

269
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 7: least the semblance of we want to remain respectable and

270
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 7: be perceived by some people as objective.

271
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 6: And it's gone.

272
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 7: It's gone, and yet they still have a fair amount

273
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 7: of power, these two out there.

274
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: I mean, it's smart.

275
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 7: He was wearing that blue and she had on that

276
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 7: sort of bluish gray top, because that's who they are.

277
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 7: They wore their team colors and they were there on

278
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 7: a mission.

279
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: And I don't care.

280
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 7: How stodgy and stiff David Mrror makes his face. He

281
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 7: was as bent as they come when it comes to

282
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 7: his bias and this race going into who the hell

283
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 7: watches ABC World News to I mean that really, honestly,

284
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 7: it's mostly for octogenarians.

285
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 6: I don't watch that, but none of us watches this.

286
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 7: But I saw the Media Research Center report saying that

287
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 7: they're the most biased of the three. They're most biased

288
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 7: out NBC and CBS as well. Almost it was something

289
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 7: like ninety two or ninety three percent positive stories for

290
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris, ninety seven percent negative for Donald Trump. That's

291
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 7: shocking even to me. And last night we saw that

292
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 7: on full display. No Republican should ever agree to go

293
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 7: on this channel for a presidential debate ever.

294
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: Again, So why do they, Megan, because you're on hundred

295
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: percent right with all that. Why do we do this

296
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: every time? Why is this? What is this Republican need

297
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: where they feel obligated to walk into the lions Den

298
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: every time? And I'm not here saying that I should

299
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: be moderating one of these debates. I'm a complete biased

300
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: partisan human being. I shouldn't be moderating it either. But

301
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: why do Republicans feel like they have to accept the

302
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: ABC debate and they just have to accept whatever a

303
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: couple comedies they happen to roll out there. I don't

304
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: understand this way of thinking.

305
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 7: Why a habit. It's just habit. That's the way it's

306
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 7: always been, and that's the way they're used to operating.

307
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 7: They don't really see another choice. And on the subject

308
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 7: of bias, you actually could do it, Jesse's you're not

309
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 7: required to be unbiased to host a presidential debate. It's fine.

310
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 7: I can guarantee you. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash hate

311
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 7: Donald Trump, but they did a good job at that

312
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 7: June debate. You could not see their hatred or their bias.

313
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 7: That's fine that we can't ask for more than that

314
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 7: from journalists. They're entitled to have opinions about the news

315
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 7: that they cover and the subjects they cover. They're just

316
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 7: not entitled to share it in the context of their interviews,

317
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 7: their town halls, or their big presidential debates. That's what

318
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 7: we're asking of them. It's not too high a bar.

319
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 7: Be fair, be equally tough on both sides. That's why

320
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 7: I feel like I could do this. I can't stand

321
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris. I really hope she loses. But if you

322
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 7: were to watch me moderate a debate between these two,

323
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 7: you would not see me be any harder on her

324
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 7: than I would be on Donald Trump.

325
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 6: And I have a record that reflects that.

326
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 7: They won't do it because their politics are everything to them,

327
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 7: so they refuse to check their bias. They all sit

328
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 7: around in these rooms. I've been in them where they

329
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 7: don't even see the bias. They think this is just

330
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 7: what's dignified, what's required to be a big jay journalist

331
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 7: who went to one of these, you know whatever schools.

332
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 6: So it's group think.

333
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 7: But on the Republican side, they need to understand that

334
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 7: we're in a.

335
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 6: New ecosphere now.

336
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 7: And if I were Trump and I really wanted to

337
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 7: do another debate, I don't know whether he's feeling that

338
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 7: or not. Doesn't sound like it, I would say, I'll

339
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 7: do it one of two ways. Either it's just the

340
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 7: two of us, or we just know there is no moderator,

341
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 7: or I pick one moderator and you pick the other

342
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 7: and then we go. You know, and you could you

343
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 7: could drip brains from and how you want to do that.

344
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 7: He wants to pick somebody who would just cross examine her,

345
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 7: and she wants to pick somebody who would just cross

346
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 7: examine him, or he wants to pick the person who

347
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 7: asked him quite whatever. But the current system is not working.

348
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 7: It's not working for Republicans only, and therefore it must

349
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 7: be thrown out and we have to start again.

350
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: Megan, I'm just I want to wrap up with this.

351
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: How do you think he did? I thought that was

352
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: one of the worst debate performances I've seen from him.

353
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: His first debate. He was so on message. Didn't walk

354
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: into these bear traps. They were obviously setting for him,

355
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: and he walked into them routine. The last night, he's

356
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: talking about Project twenty twenty five, he's talking about the

357
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: exact amount of inheritance. He got it. It was it

358
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: seemed like they walked in with the plan to bait him,

359
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: and it worked.

360
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 6: It true, he took debait on everything.

361
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 7: I mean, it's like me on the sidelawn with my

362
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 7: dog's Drudwick just to throw throw the liver snap and

363
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 7: he will it no matter where I throw it.

364
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 6: That was a.

365
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 7: Mistake, But I will say I felt sorry for him.

366
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 7: I mean I felt sorry for him because he was

367
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 7: in a fox hole and there were three people shooting

368
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 7: down at him, and it's a very tough situation to

369
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 7: get yourself out of him. And I think he did

370
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 7: the best he can. He did the best he's capable

371
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 7: of at this point. Could somebody else have done better?

372
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

373
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 7: I think jad Vance probably if he had been in

374
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 7: that situation and he will be soon, he could have

375
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 7: done better. But I really had I had sympathy for

376
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 7: Trump because what a difficult situation when all three of

377
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 7: them are piling on and there is no lifeline anywhere.

378
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I tend to agree with you on that. I

379
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: said that was the last one, but this one is

380
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: does it matter? I know that it's not nothing. The

381
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: first presidential debate is something people do watch it, they

382
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: make decisions on it. But does it matter that much?

383
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 6: No, it doesn't.

384
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 7: And I don't think this is going to change the

385
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 7: election results, or maybe not even the poll results. Maybe

386
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 7: a couple of days we get some polling bounds for her,

387
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 7: but I don't think so.

388
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 6: I think people are pretty dug in.

389
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 7: You'd need a huge momentum shifter in order to really

390
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 7: affect the polls.

391
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 6: That's not what happened on Tuesday night.

392
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Megan, you are the best. Come back soon, all right,

393
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: Brittany Mayer, independent journalist, joins us. Next, I want to

394
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: hear what she has to say about all this, But first,

395
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about a movie coming out,

396
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: Matt Walsh, Of all people, it's so great that it's

397
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh goes undercover as a DEI specialist,

398
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: and to watch him dryly just harass the worst people

399
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: in our society. It murders me. I'll be honest, it

400
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: murders me. And probably the best part about this is

401
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: it's safe for the whole family. You can't go to

402
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: the movies anymore with the whole family now, kids, dad, mom,

403
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: who are neighbors, Go buy some tickets, Go pre order

404
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: some tickets. It helps them stick it to Hollywood. Go

405
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: pre order your family's tickets for Amiracist dot Com. That's

406
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: the name of the movie, am I Racist amiracist dot Com?

407
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: Go get your tickets. All right, we'll be back.

408
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 4: He is more interested in defending himself than he is

409
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: in looking out for you.

410
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: That's just a sound good.

411
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 2: They gave her that to say to Washington, DC and

412
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: let her sign a bill to close up the border,

413
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: because they have.

414
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: The right to do it.

415
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: They don't need bills. They have the right to do it.

416
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: The president of the United States. You'll get them out

417
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: of bed. You'll wake them up at four o'clock in

418
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: the afternoon. You'll say, come on, come on down to

419
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: the office, let's sign a bill. She gave up at

420
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: least twelve and probably fourteen or fifteen different policies, like

421
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: she was big on defund the police in Minnesota. She

422
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: went out, I'm talking now, if you don't mind, please

423
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: does that sound familiar?

424
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Trump did have some good moments last I had

425
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: some zingers out there overall. You know my thoughts on it.

426
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: I already told you, But I wonder to know what

427
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: Britney's thoughts are. Joining me now, Independent reporter, founder of

428
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Rooted Wings, friend of the show, Britney Mayer joins us. Okay, Brittany,

429
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: everyone knows my thoughts by now. I thought it was

430
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: a terrible night. In the end, I don't know that

431
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: it will matter. I think we rebound and block and

432
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 1: tackle from here. But I thought it was awful. He

433
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: was on defense all night. What'd you see?

434
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely on defense. Hey, But here's my overall perspective

435
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 8: and takeaway is what we saw last night is it

436
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 8: is the establishment machine again propping up their candidate, and

437
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 8: in that the loser is the American people. So I

438
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 8: actually think that it was a win when you look

439
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 8: at it that way, because once again we see Donald

440
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 8: Trump as being anti establishment. He is not held up

441
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 8: and propped up by the establishment machine. It was three

442
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 8: versus one all night long long. So in that perspective,

443
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 8: I actually think that Donald Trump came out very strong.

444
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 8: Of course, he had to be on defense because the

445
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 8: machine has after him four years. And I think the

446
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 8: American people are going to take that away and see

447
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 8: it as they relate to Donald Trump. Kamala Harris is

448
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 8: a career politician. She is not relatable, and she's now

449
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 8: being used and propped up as the media darling by

450
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 8: the machine, and I think that's terrifying.

451
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So the night wasn't a complete disaster for Dome

452
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: the way I assumed it was because she's such a

453
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: ditsy airhead. She was obviously prepared with the questions I'm

454
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: sure ahead of time in speeches, but she still has

455
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: to get back out there and as you just pointed out,

456
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: relate to people. Now, do you even bother with another

457
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: debate if you're Trump or if you're her, who wants one?

458
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want one?

459
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 8: Look, I think that Trump shines when he is doing

460
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 8: those long form interviews that he was doing. He did

461
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 8: one with Aiden, he had another one with Sean Ryan.

462
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 8: Those speak to the heart of the American people. I

463
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 8: think the debates were past the point of needing debates

464
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 8: to prove which candidate is. The media is darling. We

465
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 8: know that they are going to embrace Kamala and prop

466
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 8: her up because she is the machines pet. I think

467
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 8: that Trump shines in the long form interviews that Kamala

468
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 8: can't do. So I would encourage Trump to continue with that,

469
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 8: continue with his rallies that people do show up for

470
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 8: and do stay for. I think that really does speak

471
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 8: to the heart of the American people. And another takeaway

472
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 8: that I had that I just want to touch on

473
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 8: that I think is really important is after this debate

474
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 8: is said and done next week, people aren't going to

475
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 8: still be talking about this debate. It was not memorable,

476
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 8: but what people are going to remember and feel the

477
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 8: average American when they go get groceries, that they can't

478
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 8: afford groceries, that their rent is tripled or quadrupled, that

479
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 8: they can't get insurance because his rates are out of touch.

480
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 8: And I think that that on those issues alone, Trump dominates,

481
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 8: and they will remember that. At the end of the debate,

482
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 8: Trump said, it's been three and a half years of this.

483
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 8: You want three and a half more years? Do you

484
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 8: want four more years of this? And the average American

485
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 8: knows that they don't feel safe, they don't feel like

486
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 8: they can afford America, they don't feel like this is

487
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 8: America anymore. And I think that that's where Trump needs

488
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 8: to stay focused.

489
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: How do you think he handled the whole abortion thing? Now,

490
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: I disagree with Trump and his stance on the issue,

491
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: but that's not important. That debate wasn't for me. It

492
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: was for all the normy people who don't know who

493
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: they're voting for. I actually thought he handled that fairly well,

494
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: pointing out their radicalism because they're a bunch of demonic

495
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: baby murderers.

496
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 8: Yes, and I think he could have gone in even

497
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 8: heavier on that. I was on the edge of my

498
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 8: seat hoping that he was going to pull up her receipts,

499
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 8: and he didn't. But Harris's receipts on abortion as a

500
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 8: senator in California are diabolical. I don't know if you

501
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 8: know this, Jesse, but Harris has voted against the efforts

502
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 8: to protect babies born alive in California not once, but twice.

503
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 8: And she also voted against an act that would have

504
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 8: set limitations on pain capable unborn child protections. So she

505
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 8: is one hundred percent a monster when it comes to

506
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 8: our unborn, and I wish that Trump would have laid

507
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 8: into that even heavier. You know, we talk about the

508
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 8: pets being eaten by the Haitians out in Springfield, but

509
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 8: the reality is that if Kamala and Wallas get in,

510
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 8: we are going to witness the diabolical murdering of the

511
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 8: unborn unlike we've ever ever seen it in this country.

512
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of that comment the pets being eaten, I

513
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: actually didn't like it, and it's not because it wasn't accurate.

514
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: It obviously is accurate, as hard as they're trying to

515
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: cover it up. It was kind of disconnected. Why are

516
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: didn't people like you are going to know exactly what

517
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: he was referring to. But again, the undecided norm watching

518
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: just knows he drops some weird line about dogs being eaten.

519
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it was articulated that well.

520
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree. I think what he could have done

521
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 8: is he could have said, you know, done his little

522
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 8: trump ism where he says, you know, the pets, maybe

523
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 8: they're getting eaten in Springfield, maybe they're not. Maybe ducks

524
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 8: are being pulled out of the pond, maybe they're not,

525
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 8: but what we do know, And then he could have

526
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 8: gone into all the data we have about the safety

527
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 8: issues because we have an open border that we have

528
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 8: seen Americans killed by illegal foreigners. They're actually in Springfield, Ohio,

529
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 8: there was an eleven year old boy that was killed

530
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 8: by a Haitian illegal foreigner. And I think that he

531
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 8: could have directed it, you know, touch on the pet

532
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 8: situation and the ducks being pulled out of the ponds,

533
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 8: but then redirect America's attention to the fact that we

534
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 8: live in an unsafe country right now because of Harris's

535
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 8: policy on the border. And he should have stuck there

536
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 8: and landed there. But that's what leads me back to say,

537
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 8: I think that the average American knows that and so

538
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 8: next week, when this debate is forgotten, people are going

539
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 8: to still feel unsafe. I know that Kamala is not

540
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 8: coming to rescue them.

541
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: One thing that stuck out to my wife that I noticed,

542
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: but it didn't stick out to me the way it

543
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: stuck out to her. Maybe it's just a gender thing.

544
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: Was that handshake in the beginning here it was for

545
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: those who forgot it.

546
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris, so good to ba. Thank it.

547
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: Welcome to you both. It's wonderful to have you. It's

548
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: an honor to have you both here tonight.

549
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 6: Good evening we are looking for.

550
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: It was so weird. Did you make anything out of it? Yeah?

551
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 8: I don't think he wanted to shake her hand, and

552
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 8: I think she kind of forced herself upon him. I mean, look,

553
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 8: she's all the way over at his podium, which is

554
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 8: clearly larger than hers because ABC had to manipulate the

555
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 8: optics to make it look like they're the same size.

556
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 8: I mean, what a joke. I wouldn't want to shake

557
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 8: her hand either. I think that we are past a

558
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 8: point in America where we have to play by all

559
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 8: these standard optic rules. You know, Kamala Harris has been

560
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 8: a massive part of destroying our nation. I don't think

561
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 8: she's due a handshake. I don't think there's anything gentlemanly

562
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 8: about extending your hand to someone who is at the

563
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 8: helm of the ship creating an incredibly unsafe country for

564
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 8: our children. So that was my takeaway. I actually I

565
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 8: liked that Trump was hesitant and then he did he

566
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 8: shook her hand. But I liked that he forced her

567
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 8: hand literally in that first take.

568
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: Brittany, thank you. I appreciate you. All Right, we have

569
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: little September eleventh reflection. It is that terrible anniversary today,

570
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: and we'll do that in just a moment. So let's look,

571
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about something the corporate world. We're all mad

572
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: at ABC today, but this is something that's taken place,

573
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: especially over the last ten fifteen years. The corporate world

574
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: has just turned disgusting. It's awful. You can't watch TV

575
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: commercials anymore, and we need to defund them, meaning we

576
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: need to take our business elsewhere. If you have AT

577
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: and T for your cell phone service, veriz and if

578
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: you have T Mobile, you need to take your business elsewhere.

579
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh but Jesse, I I need the I need I

580
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: need the coverage. I need a good network, pure Talk

581
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: is on the same network. It's the exact same five

582
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: G network. You don't sacrifice coverage at all. I switched

583
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: from T Mobile. My coverage got better and I pay

584
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: half of what I was paying. We have four lines

585
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: as a family. I pay half of what I was

586
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: paying before. Switch to Pure Talk, the American loving company.

587
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: They're supporting veterans while the other ones are supporting planned parenthood.

588
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: Go to pure talk dot com slash Jesse TB. We'll

589
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: be back all right. It is the anniversary of September eleventh.

590
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: Today everyone has their story, while everyone who's old enough

591
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: has their story about where they were what they were doing.

592
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I know I've told you this before, but I thought

593
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: it would be appropriate to just take a minute tell

594
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: you where I was. I was in the Marines, already

595
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: very young marine. I'd been in for about a year.

596
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't one of those super patriots who joined afterward.

597
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: And we'd gotten up that morning we went and did

598
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: PTE Exercise Marine Corps. So we've been on this long

599
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: run and all kinds of things. And we had just

600
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: finished this long run and we were in front of

601
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: our barracks and we're just doing some stretching things like that,

602
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: and they told us, hey, get up to your room

603
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: now and turn on the TV. Not exactly a normal order.

604
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: You get go watch television. Okay, something big must be

605
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: going on. So we all scampered up to the barracks.

606
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: We're all sweaty, covered in sand and everything else, and

607
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: open up the door. We get into our barracks rooms

608
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: and there was like ten to fifteen of us pout

609
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: in one room. Guys were powered in the different rooms.

610
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: We turned on the television and one of the towers

611
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: had been hit. And remember we had been out pteing,

612
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: so we were all confused. My first thought, and this

613
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: was it was the main thought in the room, was

614
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 1: did some drunk flyplane in the tower on accident? How

615
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: do you hit a tower on accident? We didn't, We

616
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't know. We just had no idea. But we're watching,

617
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: we're watching, we're watching, and this is all live. I

618
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: think it was CNN, and we watched live as a

619
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: second plane hit the second tower. And now obviously we

620
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: know we're not stupid, we know this is an attack

621
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: on the country, and we're mad. We're mad, but it

622
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: wasn't white hot anger. Yet, it wasn't mad. They start balls.

623
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: Who do they think they are? And we're still watching,

624
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: And then the towers came down, and everybody watching, every

625
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: marine in the room knew what that meant. We knew

626
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: how many people had just lost their lives, how many

627
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: innocent civilians had lost their lives. And I'm not a

628
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: big crier, It's not who I am. I don't not

629
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: that way. But I had tears of rage pouring down

630
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: my face that day. And I will tell you I

631
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: was not alone in that room. We all wanted to

632
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: go kill somebody. Just me being very honest, We were

633
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: all ready to go kill everybody. Really, That's how we

634
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: felt about today. And I recently had a chance go

635
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: to New York City and see the Nine to eleven

636
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: Memorial Museum. If you're ever in New York City, do it.

637
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: There are some things that I just feel like every

638
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: American should do. If you get the chance, do it.

639
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: Go walk through that and remember it's a day you

640
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: should always remember. It's a day I'll never forget. All right,

641
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: That's all. I just wanted to share my story, talk

642
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: to Sean Parnell, his story and everything about that. In

643
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: just the moment, let me talk to you about this

644
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: really quickly talk to you about getting a good night's sleep.

645
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: Last night was debate night didn't go great at the

646
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: end of the world, but didn't go great, So maybe

647
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: you had trouble sleeping. I'll tell you. I thought I

648
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: was going to have trouble sleeping. So the second the

649
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: debate ended, I did my YouTube live thing and I

650
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: was sipping on a little cup of dream powder hot

651
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: chocolate as I was doing it, because it's natural things

652
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: that put me to sleep, and when I wake up

653
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: in the morning, I feel amazing. Go get some dream

654
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: powder from beam Drop. All the drug stuff, all natural stuff.

655
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: That's what you need. That's what dream powder is all about.

656
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: It's a little cup of hot chocolate puts you right

657
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: to sleep. Shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly. We'll be

658
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: back today.

659
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 5: Our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom

660
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 5: came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly

661
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 5: terrorist acts.

662
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: None of us will ever forget this day.

663
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: Yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that

664
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: is good and just in our world.

665
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: I remember it, and I remember it all. One of

666
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: those things. If you're of a certain age, you remember it,

667
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: remember where you were, You remember what happened afterwards? Joining

668
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: me now my friend host of battle Ground Live, which

669
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend you watch, Sean Parnell, also a

670
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: combat veteran. Okay, Sean, my story, I've already told it.

671
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: Everyone knows mine on this show September eleventh. Where were you?

672
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: What were you doing? The floor's yours? Tell us about it.

673
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 9: I was a sophomore in college at a small university

674
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 9: in western Pennsylvania. We had just had a big party

675
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 9: the night before, and at that party, Jesse I had

676
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 9: a conversation with my buddies about how our generation never

677
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 9: really had an inflection point or a moment that defined

678
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 9: who we were. And then I remember waking up on

679
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 9: this rundown college couch the next day and you know,

680
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 9: blinked my eyes open and the world was spinning, had

681
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 9: to hangover of a lifetime, and all around me were

682
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 9: Iron City beer cans and Crush cigarette butts, and I

683
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 9: remember staggering over to the television set and turning it

684
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 9: on and watching it flicker to life, just in time

685
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 9: to see an airplane crash into the World Trade Center,

686
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 9: and in that moment, just like anybody else who lived

687
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 9: through nine to eleven, I feel like I was shaken

688
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 9: to my core. I was angry. I was also afraid.

689
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 9: I watched people tumble from those towers and land on

690
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 9: the sidewalk on live television, watch people stumble out of

691
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 9: that wreckage, you know, covered in thick gray soot. Only

692
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 9: thing you could see were bloodshot eyes and a thousand

693
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 9: yards stare. I think what affected me the most that day, Jesse,

694
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 9: and what inspired me to eventually join the military, was

695
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 9: how our first responders responded, and that was, instead of

696
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 9: running away from the flames, I watched one first responder

697
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 9: after the next run headlong into them. And as you know,

698
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 9: and as the American people know, anyone who lived through

699
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 9: that day knows, many of those first responders who stormed

700
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 9: into the flames that day and ran up those steps

701
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 9: to try to save people that they'd never met before,

702
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 9: and an act of selflessness that I'd never witnessed in

703
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 9: my lifetime up until that very moment. Many of those

704
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 9: people never emerged from those flames again. And Jesse, I

705
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 9: was a kid back then, didn't have good grades, it

706
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 9: was probably drinking too much, didn't know what I wanted

707
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 9: to do with my life, and so I figured i'd

708
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 9: joined the military, get in the fight and take the

709
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 9: fight to the enemy.

710
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: You weren't alone in that, and I mean you post

711
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: September eleventh guys who joined. I was in for about

712
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: a year before it happened, But it was such a

713
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: wave of patriot, patriotic young men stepping up and just

714
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: look doing something about it. How much of that do

715
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: we still have, Sean, I know those guys still exist.

716
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm not naive. I'm not going to say those guys

717
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: are extinct. We don't have any of those anymore. That's

718
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: not true. There's all kinds of pipe hitters who are

719
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: in there now and guys who might join one day,

720
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: who can and will do it. But do we have

721
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: as much as we did before?

722
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 9: You know, Jesse, I'm not sure. I think you're right.

723
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 9: An entire generation rose up to serve this country in

724
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 9: the wake of September eleventh and had their lives, the

725
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 9: trajectory of their lives altered forever in a way they

726
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 9: probably didn't anticipate. I have no doubt that young men

727
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 9: and women in this country have that selflessness in the

728
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 9: metal that's necessary to rise up in a moment like that.

729
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 9: But I would be lying to you if I told

730
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 9: you that. I mean, our country is just fundamentally different today,

731
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 9: and you know, it's been twenty three years. It feels like,

732
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 9: you know, the focus of our military is lacking. We're

733
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 9: not I mean, obviously we're in the midst of a

734
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 9: grave recruiting crisis. Again, I'm not saying that that selflessness

735
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 9: isn't out there, that patriotism isn't out there. It is.

736
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 9: It just feels like it might be hibernating a little bit.

737
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 9: And I shudder to think what would happen in this

738
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 9: country if God forbid another attack on the scale of

739
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 9: September eleventh happened. I'd be you know, with five kids,

740
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 9: my friend. It worries me for sure.

741
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think about it all the time. I have

742
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old and a fifteen year old, and

743
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: they're obviously about that age. And look, let's let's just

744
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: be frank about it. And I've talked about this privately,

745
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: we're friends. But I don't I don't feel like the

746
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: people who led this country, I don't feel like they

747
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: necessarily did right by all those patriotic young men who

748
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: stepped up to fight. And I feel like this next

749
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: generation being raised by those men, they might view things

750
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: a little bit differently. Do you get what I'm saying?

751
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: I do?

752
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 9: And Jesse, you know, twenty three years after nine to eleven,

753
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 9: you'd think it would get a little easier hearing some

754
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 9: of the sound bites that you just played, or hearing

755
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 9: the voicemails that people left their loved ones on that plane. Oh,

756
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 9: it affects me more today than I think it did

757
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 9: when I was young, and it's hard to even talk

758
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 9: about now. I remember driving to drop my son off,

759
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 9: who is eleven, because I've got a seventeen year old,

760
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 9: a fifteen year old too, thirteen year olds, and an

761
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 9: eleven year old. So I'm driving the eleven year old

762
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 9: to drop him off at at the bus stop today

763
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 9: and listening to, you know, some morning show on the radio,

764
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 9: and nine to eleven sound bites started playing, just like

765
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 9: a compilation of them, and my son you could just

766
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 9: see in his young eleven year old eyes that he

767
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 9: was just in just totally engaged by what he was hearing.

768
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 9: And he looks at me with these wide eyes. He's like, Dad,

769
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 9: you live through this, right. I'm like, I did live

770
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 9: through this. And I could feel because they were playing

771
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 9: the voicemails of those women calling their husbands telling them

772
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 9: that they love them, that they love their kids, that

773
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 9: they're probably never going to see them again, and it

774
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 9: hits right here, and twenty three years later, it still

775
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 9: is emotionally resonant to me. And I think particularly so

776
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 9: for a point that you just made, my friend, is

777
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 9: that now I know, with the benefit of hindsight of

778
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 9: how this country treated the men and women who served

779
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 9: both in Iraq and Afghanistan over twenty years of war.

780
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 9: My battalion specialized in Afghanistan. We deployed, we came back,

781
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 9: We deployed, we came back, We deployed, we came back.

782
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 9: And what do we have to show for it? What

783
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 9: do we have to show for the war in Iraq?

784
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 9: Twenty years of fighting. I'm forty three years old, so

785
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 9: half of my adult life. All I've known in my

786
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 9: adult life is war. I've had thirty friends die. And

787
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 9: I got to add, being completely honest, what was it for?

788
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: You know?

789
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 9: Can you honestly look in the camera today. And I'm

790
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 9: not asking you this, Jesse, but I'm just saying to

791
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 9: anybody out there that's listening or watching, say that this

792
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 9: country is better off for the Middle East is safer

793
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 9: for what we did in Iraq and what we did

794
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 9: in Afghanistan. What we did in Iraq created a void

795
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 9: in Iraq, gave rise to ISIS and in bolden Iran.

796
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 9: Look at what happened with the Afghan surrender. We left

797
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 9: American citizens behind, We abandoned our allies. We deposed autocrats

798
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 9: in Egypt, in Libya, we tried to do it in Syria.

799
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 9: And for what thousands of Americans lives lost, tens of

800
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 9: thousands injured, wounded, hundreds of thousands, with the invisible wounds

801
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 9: of war, you know, blood and treasure that will never

802
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 9: get back, trillions of dollars spent. It's just really frustrating.

803
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 9: So and I think that's part of the reason why

804
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 9: looking back at nine to eleven today, it hasn't It's

805
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 9: still very, very emotionally resonant to me, only maybe in

806
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 9: a little bit of a different, more complicated way.

807
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually don't think you could possibly explain my

808
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: exact feeling on the feelings on this better than you

809
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: just did. I actually just had a reunion with marine

810
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: brothers of mine I was in Iraq with, and every

811
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: single one of them, to a man, pretty much echoed

812
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: exactly what you just said, and that is that's heavy.

813
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: And it's sad to me that the people who led

814
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: this country, Democrat and Republican and the military leaders, they'll

815
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: never own and they'll never be held to account for

816
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: what they did with our patriotism. And it bothers me

817
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: to this day. Sean, my brother, I love you always.

818
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: Will you come back anytime? Go watch Sean's show Battleground Sick.

819
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Sehn's the best. All right, we have light

820
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: in the mood next. All right, it is time to

821
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: lighten the mood. And these things. Maybe I'm just getting old.

822
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: These things get me. They get me more as I

823
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: get older than it used to when I was younger.

824
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: Who knows, But after nine to eleven, there was so

825
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: much patriotism that was reflected in so many different ways,

826
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: and the sports arena before it became all politicized and

827
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: disgusting like it is now, the sports arena stepped up

828
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: big time. I remember this. I remember I think I

829
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: watched the replay of this twenty times. Mike Piazza. This

830
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,399

Speaker 1: and a chick pip to left Tenner Andrew Chonsi the Lord.

833
