Trump wants ABC SHUT DOWN because he lost the debate

Speaker 1: In the aftermath of the failed  assassination attempt against Donald Trump, one of   the stories that's been increasingly told is that  pointing out the threats posed by Trump. Insights.   Violence against Trump. Now, this doesn't make any  sense. It's it's absolutely ridiculous. But one of   the arguments we heard made by Trump's defenders  after the failed assassination attempt was,   you know, they tried to kill him because of these  claims that Trump is a threat to democracy or   that Trump is a threat to the media, or that  Trump is a threat to institutions. Of course,   this ignored that. They was one Republican.  Let's put that aside just for a moment here.   But this idea that not only does it incite  violence against Trump to suggest this guy is   a threat in a number of different ways, but also  that it's not true is very much undercut every   single week by the things Donald Trump says and  does. And we have another example. Trump was so   triggered and distraught by the way, that Kamala  Harris made him look, quite frankly, incompetent   and almost like he's having a cognitive  issue and can't think when he just she goes,   Your rallies have people leaving. He goes, they're  reading dogs and cats. What Trump was so triggered   by it that he wants ABC News shut down because  he lost the debate. Trump has been demanding   that ABC News be shut down because of what he  says was their bias during the debate. Now,   I want to remind you, you can make the argument  that. Debate moderators should or shouldn't fact   check. You can make the argument that there  should be some kind of screening. I don't   know for who gets to moderate. But understand  that the fact checking that these moderators   did was with regard to only very basic things,  like, for example, Trump saying he won the 2020   election and the moderators said, you didn't win.  Joe Biden won. That that's called bias goes to the   absurd expectation that Trump and his supporters  have about how these debates should be run. But   let's put that aside for a moment. Donald Trump  wants ABC to have their license taken away because   he doesn't like how the debate. Why don't me? Speaker 4: What's your reaction to the moderators   or because they're dishonest and because I  think ABC took a big hit last night. I mean,   to be honest. They're a news organization. They  have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take   away their license for the way they did that. Speaker 1: They ought. When David Muir said you   didn't win the 2020 election, Trump considers  that such a travesty of journalism that ABC   News should be pulled off the air. When Linsey  Davis said there is currently no state that   allows post-birth abortion. Trump believes that  such aggressive wrongdoing that ABC News should   be pulled off the air, their license taken away,  and everybody who works for ABC News should lose   their jobs. This is part of why he shouldn't be  president. This is the contempt for the free press   that we've been warning people about. Not that  we needed more data to issue that warning. We saw   what happened during his first term with regard  to a free press, and Trump has been threatening to   take other media outlets off the air. He's talked  about how MSNBC, which he refers to as Mr. DNC,   may not be allowed to have a license if he's  president again. So it's not just going back   to what I talked about at the top of this  segment. It's not just that pointing out,   hey, this guy's contempt for institutions, a  free press and democracy are a real problem.   It's not just that that's not inciting violence  against Trump. It's just telling things as they   are. It's that it's absolutely true. And we must  talk about it. We must talk about it. Imagine if   Kamala Harris said, hey, you know. I don't know  that Newsmax should be allowed to be on the air.   I just I just don't know. I'm not sure. If I  were president, I would create a team to review   whether Newsmax should be on the air. It would  be 24 seven news on right wing media. Hannity   would do a special emergency thing on it. Patrick  But David would do a so-called emergency podcast   about it. They would all be saying this This is  a threat in an encroachment upon a free press.   And Trump regularly says ABC should lose their  license because they lost the debate. MSNBC should   lose their license because they whatever, don't  love me or whatever the case may be. If anything,   we need to be talking more about the threat  to a free press that Donald Trump represents.
