Trump-Harris debate rules released

FEW THOUSAND IN VIRGINIA. PASS THE SAVE ACT IF YOU WANT TO STOP INTERFERE IN ELECTIONS. >> Lawrence: SPEAKING OF PERSUADING VOTERS. THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS MAKING A NEW CASE. ONE I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM. IS HE TELLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, LOOK, YOU MAY NOT LIKE MY PERSONALITY. YOU MAY NOT LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, BUT, ONE THING CAN YOU ADMIT IS LIFE WAS BETTER YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS. SO THIS IS THE FORMER PRESIDENT LAST NIGHT WITH SEAN HANNITY. >> YOU CAN'T TAKE THE CHANCE. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, YOU HAVE GOT TO VOTE FOR ME. YOU HAVE GOT TO VOTE FOR ME. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW? [LAUGHTER] , BUT EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME, CAN YOU SIT THERE AND SAY I CAN'T STAND THAT GUY BUT THERE IS NO WAY I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR HER. NO, YOU HAVE TO HAVE FRACKING. YOU KNOW, YOU ARE THE BIGGEST IN THE COUNTRY FOR THIS. YOU HAVE TWO OF THE BIGGEST SITES IN THE WORLD. IT'S A MASSIVE BUSINESS FOR PENNSYLVANIA YOU CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE. SHE WILL NOT ALLOW FRACKING. IT'S STILL ABOUT THE FORGOTTEN MAN AND FORGOTTEN WOMAN. PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED HORRIBLY IN THIS COUNTRY. WE ARE A COUNTRY THAT'S BEING LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE WORLD. I WILL BE HONEST. IF JOE BIDEN WOULD BE A GREAT PRESIDENT I WOULD BE HAPPIER THAN BEING THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. >> WIDE RANGING. >> YES. HE COVERED A LOT OF TERRITORY. OBVIOUSLY, HE IS ALSO THINKING ABOUT THE DEBATE WHICH IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE JUST IN ABOUT A WEEK, IT'S GOINGS TO BE ON SEPTEMBER THE 10TH. AND KAMALA HARRIS IS HEADING TO PITTSBURGH TO SO-CALLED DEBATE CAMP WHERE SHE IS GOING TO BE HUNKERED DOWN. IT'S GOING TO BE TELEVISED BY ABC AND THEN SIMULCAST AS WELL WE HAD HEARD SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE ALL THE MICS WERE OPEN. THEY DECIDED THEY WILL BE MUTED. THEY WILL BE MUTED EXCEPT WHEN THE CANDIDATE IS SPEAK SOMETHING SPEAKING. IMMEDIATELY GOES OFF. NO LIVE AUDIENCE TO CHEER FOR EITHER SIDE. THERE WILL BE A PEN, PAPER, AND BOTTLE OF WATER AT THE LECTERN. YOU CAN'T TAKE NOTES -- >> Brian: NO PREWRITTEN NOTES BUT NO NOTES ON THE FLY. >> Steve: SURE BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY IN. TWO-MINUTE REBUTTALS AND ONE EXTRA MINUTE FOR FOLLOW-UPS AND CLARIFICATIONS OR RESPONSES. PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST. >> Kayleigh: POLITICO IS REPORTING BECAUSE WE KNOW KAMALA WANTED OPEN MICS. HER DEBATE TEAM IN UPHEAVAL BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT KAREN DUNN MORE ROAST. SHE WANTS TO HAVE THIS KAVANAUGH LIKE MOMENT WHERE SHE IS PROSECUTING THE CASE, SHE DID IT TO MIKE PENCE, LET ME SPEAK. THERE MAY BE SOME NUANCES TO THE RULE. I'M SPEAKING. M.J. OF CNN THERE HAVE BEEN ASSURANCES OFFERED TO THE CAMPAIGN HOW THE NETWORK WOULD HANDLE ANY MOMENTS OF SIGNIFICANT CROSS TALK. SO, THE MICS ARE MUTED. BUT WHO IS THE MUTER? WHO IS DOING THE MUTING? BECAUSE THAT GUY HAS GOT A LOT OF POWER IF HE IS GIVING ASSURANCES ABOUT CROSS TALK. >> COULD BE A WOMAN. >> WOMEN CAN SHUT YOU DOWN, TOO. I WOULD SAY COUPLE THINGS. I REMEMBER LAST TIME THAT THEY DID BRING UP THE MICS, SOMETIME IN CROSS TALK. HEAR A COUPLE WORDS FROM THE OTHER CANDIDATE AND THEN THE MIC WOULD GO UP. THERE WILL BE THAT MOMENT, I'M SURE OF UNSCRIPTEDNESS, OTHER THING WAS IT'S GOING TO BE I THINK IF WE CAN PUT UP THOSE RULES ONE MORE TIME. THE ABC DEBATE, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE KEY FOR THE FOLLOW-UPS. IT'S GOING TO BE THE TWO-MINUTE REBUTTAL AND EXTRA CLARIFICATION. ONE THING ABOUT DANA BASH AND JAKE TAPPER, THEY LAID OUT ON THE CLARIFICATION, I'M WONDERING IF ABC IS GOING TO COME IN AND SAY, MR. VICE PRESIDENT, I THINK YOU ARE WRONG HERE OR THAT'S NOT EXACTLY HOW IT WENT. THAT'S WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT. >> Steve: FACT-CHECK THE MODERATORS. >> Brian: NEITHER ONE OF THOSE ANCHORS DID LAST TIME. >> Lawrence: ME PERSONALLY I APPRECIATED THEM STAYING OUT OF THE WAY. >> Steve: ME TOO. >> Lawrence: WHEN YOU START PUTTING YOUR -- IT WOULD BE NICE IF PEOPLE COULD LEAVE THE BIASES BEHIND AND JUST ASK THE QUESTIONS DO FAIR BACK AND FORTH. LOST THE TRUST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THAT AREA. I WILL SAY THIS. THE FORMER PRESIDENT -- YOU HAVE TO LET HER TALK. MUCH LIKE JOE BIDEN HE MAY HAVE HAD COGNITIVE DECLINE. WORD SALAD. IF SHE WANTS TO EXPLAIN THE POLICY, LET HER EXPLAIN THAT POLICY. MUCH LIKE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT, HE DIDN'T USE A LOT OF HIS TIME. THERE WAS MOMENTS IN THAT DEBATE THEY ARE LIKE MR. PRESIDENT, YOU STILL HAVE 90 SECONDS. >> Kayleigh: THAT'S WHY I LOVED WHAT HE DID IN THE TOWN HALL SELF-DEPRECATING YOU MAY NOT LIKE ME OR YOU MAY HATE ME I HAVE THE BEST POLICY IN THE COUNTRY. HE CAN DO THAT WITH KAMALA HARRIS. I DON'T SAY EVERYTHING RIGHT, KAMALA. SUBURBAN MOMS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY ARE HURTING BECAUSE OF YOU AND JOE BIDEN. >> Brian: SO MUCH HARDER BEING TRUMP YOU HAVE TO GO -- AM I GOING AGAINST KAMALA HARRIS THE SENATOR, THE A.G., THE VICE PRESIDENT YOU, OR THE NEW KAMALA HARRIS WHO DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ANONYMOUS SURROGATES. >> Steve: DON'T KNOW WHO IS GOING TO SHOW UP. >> Brian: ANONYMOUS SURROGATES CHANGE POSITIONS. BACK OF YOUR HEAD YOU HAVE TO STUDY FOR ALL FOUR. >> Kayleigh: WILL THE REAL KAMALA PLEASE STAND UP. WANTED TO SIT. >> Steve: BOTH OF THEM WAITING YESTERDAY ON THE BIG EVENT NEXT WEEK. LISTEN TO THIS. >> HOW IS DEBATE SNREP MADAM VICE PRESIDENT, HOW IS DEBATE PREP? [INAUDIBLE] >> THEY WANTED NOTES. THEY WANTED SEATED AND MIC HOT. >> THEY WANTED A DESK. I SAID YOU GOT TO DO A STAND UP. >> Sean: AFTER THEY ALREADY AGREED TO THE OTHER. >> THEY WANTED A DESK FROM THE BEGINNING. DO YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WANTED A DESK? SLEEPY JOE. >> Steve: OKAY. >> Kayleigh: SLEEPY JOE WANTED A NAP. >> Steve: HE IS PROBABLY TAKING ONE. >> Kayleigh: PROBABLY IS ON THE BEACH, MAYBE. >> Brian: 90 MINUTES LONG. TWO COMMERCIAL BREAKS, MUTED MIX. SO BRIAN FALLON CAME OUT AND SAID BASICALLY OKAY, YOU GOT YOUR WAY. TRUMP CAN'T BE CONTROLLED. THAT INDICATES THAT NO, THIS WAS JOE BIDEN'S IDEA. NO ONE EVEN HEARD OF THESE RULES. >> Lawrence: THESE WERE THE RIDICULOUS RULES THAT YOU GUYS PRESENTED AND TRUMP SAID I WILL GIVE YOU ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT. ALL I WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE TO STAND FOR THE DEBATE. IT'S PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE AFTER THEY TRIED TO RING TRUMP INTO DOING THIS DEBATE SAYING LOOK, YOU ALREADY AGREED TO IT NOW YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES. WHICH ARGUE. DO YOU GUYS WANT? >> THAT DEBATE TRUMP WON.
