WENT TO THAT SPIN ROOM AFTER AND TRIED TO CONTINUE TO TALK TO REPORTERS DIANE. ALL RIGHT, PARKS, THANK YOU. AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FOCUSED ON IMMIGRATION, TRYING TO PIN THE SITUATION AT THE BORDER. AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, WHILE HARRIS CRITICIZED TRUMP FOR URGING REPUBLICANS TO KILL A BIPARTISAN BORDER DEAL. TRUMP BY TALKING ABOUT MIGRANTS EATING PEOPLE'S PETS. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, SOMETHING OUR MODERATOR, DAVID MUIR. FACT CHECK. >> TAKE A LOOK. IN SPRINGFIELD, THEY'RE 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. AND THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY AND IT'S A SHAME. >> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY HERE. YOU BRING UP SPRINGFIELD, OHIO AND ABC NEWS DID REACH OUT TO THE CITY MANAGER THERE. HE TOLD US THERE HAD BEEN NO CREDIBLE REPORTS OF SPECIFIC CLAIMS OF PETS BEING HARMED OR ABUSED BY INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. >> LET'S BRING IN POLITIFACT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ERIN SHAMROCK RYAN, TO HELP PUT SOME OF THAT AND OTHER CLAIMS FROM BOTH CANDIDATES IN CONTEXT HERE. ERIN, YOU HEARD DAVID, THERE. AND POLITIFACT, I KNOW, HAS LOOKED INTO THIS AS WELL. SO WHAT DID YOU ABOUT THAT CLAIM THAT WE HEARD FROM FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP LAST NIGHT? WELL, IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU, DIANE, AND IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE DAVID PUSH BACK WITH FACTS WHEN DONALD TRUMP MADE THAT CLAIM. THIS IS BASELESS CAT CLAIM THAT STARTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT SOMEHOW WIND IT UP IN THE MOUTH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. PRESIDENT, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. THIS HAS BEEN DISPROVEN BY HIS SPOKESPERSON, BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY POLICE WHO ALL SAY THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. DONALD TRUMP AFTER THE DEBATE WENT TO HIS TRUTH SOCIAL AND POSTED A VIDEO THAT DOESN'T SHOW WHAT HE IT SHOWS. IT IS SPECIFICALLY NOT TARGETING THIS IMMIGRATION POPULATION IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. SO THIS IS A CLAIM THAT WE RATED PANTS ON FIRE. >> DAVID FACT CHECKED CORRECTLY . >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ALSO CLAIMED THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP LEFT THE UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION. WHAT DOES THE DATA SHOW ON THAT CLAIM? >> YEAH, THIS CLAIM RATES FALSE. THE UNEMPLOYMENT DID SPIKE TO A POST GREAT DEPRESSION RECORD OF 14.8%, BUT THAT WAS IN APRIL OF 2020, RIGHT AS THE PANDEMIC BEGAN TO RAGE. TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE THEN BUT DIDN'T LEAVE BIDEN OR HARRIS WITH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE NEARLY THAT HIGH BY DECEMBER 2020, THE RATE HAD FALLEN BACK DOWN TO 6.4%. TODAY, IT SITS AT 4.2% AND THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS ADJUSTED ITS JOBS NUMBERS FOR 2023 TO SHOW MORE THAN 800,000 FEWER JOBS WERE ADDED THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. EXCUSE ME? PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. TRUMP CALLED THAT A FRAUD BY THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION. >> CAN YOU PUT THAT INTO CONTEXT? YEAH, I'M JUST GOING TO PUT IT INTO CONTEXT USING BASIC LOGIC. IF IT WAS A FRAUD, WHY WOULD THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION RELEASE THE REVISION AT ALL? THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS IN AUGUST DURING THE DNC REVISED DOWN THE NUMBER OF JOBS ADDED IN THIS COUNTRY BY 818,000? TRUMP IS RIGHT ABOUT THAT. BUT ECONOMISTS ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT AND ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN SAY THAT'S JUST A NORMAL PART OF HOW WE COUNT OUR JOBS. SO WE READY THAT CLAIM PANTS ON FIRE AS WELL. >> MEANWHILE, HARRIS SAID U.S. OIL PRODUCTION HAD ITS LARGEST INCREASE IN HISTORY UNDER THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION. YOU SAY THAT'S HALF TRUE. >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN? YEAH. FOR A NERD, THIS IS A FUN ONE. BASICALLY, BIDEN KAMALA HARRIS WAS PREPARED TO REBUT CLAIMS THAT SHE WAS BAD ENERGY POLICY, BUT SHE FLUBBED THE LINE. SHE TALKED ABOUT THE BIGGEST INCREASE IN HISTORY. WE ARE PRODUCING MORE OIL IN THE UNITED STATES THAN EVER BEFORE, BUT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THE BIGGEST INCREASE YEAR OVER YEAR. WE HAVE HAD BIGGER INCREASES UNDER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. SO SHE HAD A TALKING POINT PREPARED. SHE JUST SAID IT INCORRECTLY. >> BUT IN FACT, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AARON SCHIRACH, WHEN AARON, I KNOW WE C
