Trump WORST DEBATE in history as Kamala laughs

Speaker 1: What a night in American politics,  I dare say. Donald Trump's performance at the   debate last night against Kamala Harris, one  of the worst debate performances in modern   history. I had tempered my expectations. I went  in assuming that, yes, Kamala Harris would win,   but there would be some nervousness that  would maybe temper her performance a bit. Yes,   I expected Trump to lie and to fall apart, but I  didn't expect that he would be furiously ranting   and spitting and sweating and complaining the  entire debate while failing to make any serious   political points. His performance a disaster. Her  performance completely fine, projecting an air   of calm competence as a contrast to Trump leaning  over the lectern, gripping it with white knuckles   and just spitting and complaining with his right  eye swollen almost completely shut. It appears as   though Tulsi Gabbard debate prep of Trump was not  the silver bullet that the Trump team hoped that   it would be. Extremist Laura Loomer helping Trump  to prepare did not really help him to be prepared   to face Kamala Harris. Now, setting the tone for  the entire event was Kamala Harris deciding she's   going to shake Trump's hand. Trump, lumbering on  to the stage without even acknowledging her. Trump   didn't want to do it. She forced the handshake on  Trump. He was too petty to even meet her halfway.  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, some good debate. Speaker 3: To see her funny.  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. Let's have a good  debate. And Trump often not even glancing   over at the vice president, wanting  to pretend she wasn't even there. And   Kamala Harris came out of the gate prepared  strong, ready to go right up against Donald.  Speaker 4: Trump and border security during  this debate. But I would like to let Vice   President Harris respond on the economy here. Speaker 2: Well, I would love to. Let's talk about   what Donald Trump left us. Donald Trump left us  the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.   Donald Trump left us the worst public health  epidemic in a century. Donald Trump left us the   worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.  And what we have done is clean up Donald Trump's   mess. What we have done and what I intend to do  is build on what we know are the aspirations and   the hopes of the American people. But I'm going  to tell you all in this debate tonight, you're   going to hear from the same old tired playbook,  a bunch of lies, grievances and name calling.  Speaker 1: And this immediately got under Donald  Trump's skin. Trump was able to remain calm. Maybe   6 or 7 minutes. And then within minutes of  the start of the debate, he was increasingly   triggered. Couldn't help himself. But bringing  up Kamala Harris's father saying she and he are   Marxists and it went unhinged quickly. And if  you're watching, you'll notice Kamala Harris   staying very calm, smirking and grinning at the  stupidity of what Trump is saying and remaining   the adult in the room, which worked very. Speaker 3: Well, was going to send her a   MAGA hat. She's going to my philosophy, but if  she ever got elected, she'd change it. And it   will be the end of our country. She's a Marxist.  Everybody knows she's a Marxist. Her father's a   Marxist professor in economics and he taught her  well. But when you look at what she's done to our   country and when you look at these millions  and millions of people that are pouring into   our country monthly, where it's, I believe, 21  million people, not the 15 that people say. And   I think it's a lot higher than the 21. Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how about 100   million? How about a billion people? It doesn't  really matter. You're just lying at this point   regardless. And Kamala Harris handling this  really well. Trump was encouraged not to take   the bait from her, and he failed. He took it  every time Kamala Harris was prepared to bait   Trump. And one of Trump's biggest insecurities  are his rallies. Not only the size of the crowd,   but the fact that people get bored and  people fall asleep and people leave.   And Kamala Harris went right at Trump by making  fun of his silly little rallies. And boy, did.  Speaker 2: It instead of fixing a problem. And  I'll tell you something, he's going to talk   about immigration a lot tonight, even when  it's not the subject that is being raised.   And I'm going to actually do something really  unusual. And I'm going to invite you to attend   one of Donald Trump's rallies because it's a  really interesting thing to watch. Yeah. You   will see during the course of his rallies, he  talks about fictional characters like Hannibal   Lecter. He will talk about windmills cause cancer.  And what you will also notice is that people start   leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and  boredom. And I will tell you, the one thing you   will not hear him talk about is you. You will  not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams   and your and your desires. And I'll tell you,  I believe you deserve a president who actually   puts you first. And I pledge to you that I will. Speaker 1: Trump Seething, seething. And this was,   you know, okay, she mentioned his  rallies. It shouldn't trigger that   much, but indeed, it triggers him very much. Speaker 4: Harris Thank you, President Trump.   On that point, I want to get your response. Speaker 3: I would like to respond. Let me.  Speaker 4: Just ask the why did you  try to kill that bill and successfully   so that would have put thousands of  additional agents and officers on the.  Speaker 3: Border. First, let me respond to  the response. She said people start leaving.   People don't go to her rallies. There's no  reason to go. And the people that do go,   she's busing them in and paying them to be there  and then showing them in a different light. So   she can't talk about that. People don't leave my  rallies. We have the biggest rallies, the most   incredible rallies in the history of politics. Speaker 1: Yeah. And of course, this really gets   under Trump's skin because Trump knows that in  arenas like in Philadelphia, Trump couldn't fill   it. And days later, Kamala Harris filled the  arena. Trump knows that nobody's getting paid   to go to a Kamala Harris rally. They've tried  pushing that one, but there is no evidence of   that whatsoever. Now, in one of the stranger  moments of the debate, Trump was asked about,   remember when you said she used to be in. But  she became black. And what it seems like is   happening here is that Trump first is able  to control himself and say what his campaign   told him to say. But then he just goes back to  the same thing from before. It's a wild, wild.  Speaker 4: Mode in Trump. Thank you. I want to  move on now to race and politics in this country.   Mr. President, you recently said of Vice President  Harris, quote, I didn't know she was black until   a number of years ago when she happened to turn  black. And now she wants to be known as black.   I want to ask a bigger picture question here  tonight. Why do you believe it's appropriate to   weigh in on the racial identity of your opponent? Speaker 3: I don't. And I don't care. I don't   care what she is. I don't care. You make a big  deal out of something. I couldn't care less.   Whatever she wants to be is okay with me. Speaker 4: But those were your words, so.  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. I mean,   all I can say is I read where she was not black. Speaker 1: So he he he starts kind of just like,   whatever doesn't make any difference  to me. But then he goes, No, no,   no. I've been reading about it. I read she wasn't  black and then she's black all of a sudden that.  Speaker 3: She put out. And I'll say that. And  then I read that she was black. And that's okay.   Either one was okay with me. That's up to her. Speaker 1: He's like, listen, she used to not   be black, and now she is. And that's fine.  I don't have a problem with it. It's just   she used to not be black, and then she became  black, essentially repeating the completely   failed statement from the NABJ interview. Now,  then, if you think that's what that's what it   got really crazy where Trump brought up black  seating cats. That's the way we're referring   to this story that is completely debunked. Of  supposed undocumented Haitians who, by the way,   are not undocumented in Springfield, Ohio, eating  cats and dogs. Trump brings it up. Kamala Harris   just laughs in his face in Springfield. Speaker 3: They're eating the dogs,   the people that came in, they're eating  the cats. They're eating. They're eating   the pets of the people that live there. Speaker 1: And this this is reality,   folks. You're not going to all of  a sudden wake up and be in your bed   because this is a bad dream. This is reality. Speaker 3: This is what's happening in our   country. And it's a shame. As far as the rallies  are concerned, as far as the reason they go,   is they like what I say they want. Speaker 1: All right. So Trump   bringing up the black seating cats  conspiracy. And by the way, no,   this is just a brief musical interlude. I  think you might like this. Noah Garfinkle   brilliantly pointed out on Twitter that Trump's  claim about immigrants eating pets syncs up   almost perfectly with the Peanuts theme. Speaker 3: So they're eating the dog. The   people that came in, they're eating the  trash. They're eating. They're eating   the parts of the people that live there. Speaker 1: So beautifully, beautifully   done there by Noah Garfinkel. But now back  to the debates. There was a moment you knew   would come up. That would be an opportunity  for Kamala Harris to point out this guy has   been convicted of crimes. This guy has been  found civilly liable for sexual assault. And   she found that moment and she was ready for it. Speaker 3: Crime is down all over the world except   here. Crime here is up and through the roof,  despite their fraudulent statements that they   made. Crime in this country is through the  roof. And we have a new form of crime. It's   called migrant crime. And it's happening  at levels that nobody thought possible.  Speaker 4: President Trump, as you  know, the FBI says overall violent   crime is actually coming down in this country. Speaker 3: But excuse me, the FBI. Defraud. They   were defrauding statements. They they didn't  include the word cities. They didn't include   the cities with the worst crime. It was a fraud,  just like their number of 818,000 jobs that they   said they created turned out to be a fraud. Speaker 4: President Trump, thank you. I'll   let you respond. Vice president here. Well, I. Speaker 2: Think this is so rich coming from   someone who has been prosecuted for national  security crimes, economic crimes, election   interference has been found liable for sexual  assault. And his next big court appearance is in   November at his own criminal sentencing. And let's  be clear where each person stands on the issue of   what is important about respect for the rule of  law and respect for law enforcement. The former   vice president called for defunding federal law  enforcement, 45,000 agents, get this, on the day   after he was arraigned on 34 felony counts. Speaker 1: Now, at this point, Trump's done.   He's cooked. He's hanging by a thread.  Frustration taking over, and then Trump   tries the wait a minute, I'm speaking trying to  sort of mimic a famous line from Kamala Harris   in prior debates, and it just doesn't land. Speaker 3: She was big on defund the police   in Minnesota. She went out. Wait  a minute. I'm talking now, if you   don't mind, please. Does that sound familiar? Speaker 1: Does that sound familiar? It just   didn't work. It didn't work. And Trump, unable  to land even a single punch, maybe stinging Trump   the most was when Kamala Harris almost treating  Trump like a pitiable little child. 81 million   people fired him. And he's struggling to accept. Speaker 4: Ask you about something that's come   up in the last couple of days. This was a post  from President Trump about this upcoming election   just weeks away. He said, When I win, those  people who cheated and then he lists donors,   voters, election officials, he says will be  prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,   which will include long term prison sentences. One  of your campaign's top lawyers responded saying,   We won't let Donald Trump intimidate us. We  won't let him suppress the vote. Is that what   you believe he's trying to do here? Speaker 2: Donald Trump was fired by   81 million people. So let's be  clear about that. And clearly,   he is having a very difficult time processing  that. But we cannot afford to have a president   of the United States who attempts,  as he did in the past, to upend the   will of the voters in a free and fair election. Speaker 1: That one really, really bothered Trump.   And then it was just over. The topic of  Trump's health care plan came up and it's like,   my goodness, it's just adding insult to injury.  Remember the health care plan that in August of   2020 would be out in two weeks that we never got?  Trump was asked, So you still don't have it? And   he goes, Well, I have concepts of a. Speaker 5: Plan, so just yes or no,   you still do not have a plan. Speaker 3: I have concepts of a   plan. I'm not president right now. But if we  come up with something, I would only change   it. If we come up with something that's  better and less expensive. And there are   concepts and options, we we have to do that. Speaker 1: Right? It's been four years. He   still doesn't know what he would do as far as  far as health care goes, but he has concepts   of a plan which after four years and a month,  he's still not turned into a plan. Finally,   the pinnacle of frustration. Trump  with a very gross, quiet, please.  Speaker 3: Putin would be sitting in Moscow and  he wouldn't have lost 300,000 men and women,   but he would have been sitting in Moscow  a quiet place. He would have been sitting.  Speaker 1: Quiet, please. So listen, you rarely  see such a one sided debate in American politics,   because no matter how indefensible the  political positions of the major party   candidates can sometimes be by the time they make  it to this debate stage, they've been, in a sense,   vetted and filtered through the primary process  and the selection of donors. And you don't get   someone who's completely unable to participate in  a conversation about politics. That's what you got   with Trump because that's what the Republican  Party. Because they've been completely held   hostage by Trump. It backfired. And if you need  more proof that it backfired, you need only see   the panic on Fox News in the immediate aftermath  of the debate. Let's talk about that next.
