Trump blasts ABC ahead of planned debate: 'The hostility is crazy'

>> Dana: FOX NEWS ALERT FOR YOU. PRESIDENT TRUMP AFTER HE LEFT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY WENT TO A RETAIL CENTER AND SPOKE ABOUT THE 13 FALLEN AT ABBEY GATE IN AFGHANISTAN. LISTEN HERE. >> THE OTHER SIDE. AS AN EXAMPLE. TODAY WE HAD A CELEBRATION OF SOME GREAT PEOPLE, SOME GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE WHO PASSED AWAY WHO WERE KILLED IN THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, AFGHANISTAN. BECAUSE WE HAD AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WITH INCOMPETENT PEOPLE LEADING IT. EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED. HE NEVER FIRES EVERYBODY. THEY ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED. THEY TOOK THE MILITARY OUT FIRST. DO WE HAVE ANY CHILDREN IN THE ROOM? IF I ASKED A CHILD WHO SHOULD GO FIRST, THEY WOULD SAY EVERYTHING BUT THE MILITARY. THEY TOOK THE MILITARY OUT FIRST AND THEN IT WAS A BLOODBATH AND A HORRIBLE THING. A HORRIBLE THING. I JUST WENT TO ARLINGTON CEMETERY AND YOU SAW A CEREMONY WITH THE PARENTS, THE SISTERS IN ONE CASE, BROTHERS IN OTHER CASE AND THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN KILLED. AND WHEN YOU SEE THE FACT THAT NOBODY IS MENTIONING AFGHANISTAN. THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR. I HATE TO EVEN CALL IT ANNIVERSARY. I DOT LIKE THE WORD ANNIVERSARY IN THIS CASE. THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR OF THAT TRAGIC EVENT AND BECAUSE OF THAT EVENT WE DID SO BADLY THAT RUSSIA WENT IN AND INVADED UKRAINE, ISRAEL WAS ATTACKED AS YOU KNOW ON OCTOBER 7TH. WE HAVE PEOPLE DON'T RESPECT US. THEY DON'T RESPECT US ANYMORE AS A COUNTRY. WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT? WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRESIDENT. WE HAVE A FASCIST PERSON RUNNING WHO IS INCOMPETENT AND WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS NOT EVEN AROUND. HE WENT TO CALIFORNIA FOR A VACATION BECAUSE THEY THREW HIM OUT OF THE PARTY. AND THEN HE CAME BACK HOME AND SAID WILL HE GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE? NO, HE WENT TO DELAWARE TO TAKE ANOTHER VACATION. AND HE GOT RUSSIA OVER THERE WITH NUCLEAR THREATS. WE DON'T HAVE A PRESIDENT. WE HAVE TO HAVE A REAL PRESIDENT THAT'S RESPECTED. SO AS TO YOUR QUESTION, I THINK IT IS DISGRACEFUL AND I THINK ABC IS A DISGRACE. I THINK HAVING DONNA BRAZILE SITTING ON THAT PANEL IF SHE IS THE ONE THAT GAVE THE ANSWERS AND THE QUESTIONS TO HILLARY CLINTON BEFORE A DEBATE, I THINK ABC IS REALLY SHOULD BE SHUT OUT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER DO IT ON NBC. I WOULD MUCH RATHER DO IT ON CBS, FRANKLY. I THINK CBS IS VERY UNFAIR BUT THE BEST OF THE GROUP. AND CERTAINLY I WOULD DO IT ON FOX. I WOULD EVEN DO IT ON CNN. THEY TREATED US VERY FAIRLY THE LAST TIME. I THINK JAKE TAPPER WAS VERY FAIR AND DANA BASH WAS VERY FAIR. BUT WHEN I WATCHED THIS INTERVIEW OF TOM COTTON, FORTUNATELY HE IS PRO AND KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND WHEN I WATCHED THE ROUND TABLE AFTER THAT, I SAID THE HOSTILITY IS CRAZY. SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. THEY ALSO WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES. THE DEAL WAS WE KEEP THE SAME RULES. NOW THEY WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THE RULES BECAUSE SHE CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS. WHY DOESN'T SHE DO A COUPLE OF QUESTION -- WHY DOESN'T SHE DO SOMETHING LIKE I'M DOING RIGHT NOW? SHE CAN'T TALK. WE CAN'T HAVE ANOTHER DUMMY AS A PRESIDENT, OKAY? WE CANNOT HAVE A DUMMY. AND THE PEOPLE FROM VIETNAM AGREE WITH THAT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> WOULD YOU WANT THE MICROPHONE MUTED WHENEVER YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING? >> IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS IT WAS LAST TIME. IN THAT CASE IT WAS MUTED. I DIDN'T LIKE IT THE LAST TIME BUT IT WORKED OUT FINE. ASK BIDEN HOW IT WORKED OUT. IT WAS FINE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE THE SAME. WE AGREED TO THE SAME RULES. SAME RULES, SAME SPECIFICATIONS. AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE. THEY ARE TRYING TO CHANGE IT. THE TRUTH IS THEY ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DEBATE. SHE IS NOT A GOOD DEBATER, NOT A SMART PERSON. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DEBATE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HOSTILITY DURING THE WEEKEND. YOU WATCH IT. THIS WEEK WITH GEORGE STEPHANOPOLOUS AND THE VIETNAMESE DIDN'T GET THAT ONE. YOU GOT IT, RIGHT? BUT NO, WE WANT TO HAVE FAIRNESS. WE HAVE TO BRING FAIRNESS BACK TO THE COUNTRY AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A PRESIDENT -- WE ARE THE CLOSEST TO WORLD WAR III THAT WE'VE BEEN RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A MAN WHO TOOK A VACATION IN CALIFORNIA AND CAME BACK TODAY AND HE IS GOING TO DELAWARE FOR ANOTHER VACATION. GOING FOR ANOTHER WEEK. THAT'S NOT THE VIETNAMESE. THEY ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE. >> HOW ARE YOU SPECIFICALLY PREPARING FOR THE DEBATE WITH HARRIS? >> I'M NOT SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON IT. MY WHOLE LIFE I HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR A DEBATE. YOU CAN GO IN AND HAVE ALL SORTS OF SESSIONS. I WATCHED MITT ROMNEY GO IN AND HE WORKED SO HARD. FOUR WEEKS HE LOCKED HIMSELF INTO A LOG CABIN AND DEVELOPED LOCK JAW. HE COULDN'T SPEAK. I WATCHED OTHER PEOPLE. BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO BE REAL. YOU CAN'T CRAM KNOWLEDGE INTO YOUR HEAD FOR 30 YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE IN ONE WEEK. THERE IS A LITTLE DEBATE PREP BUT I HAVE ALWAYS DONE IT MORE OR LESS THE SAME WAY. YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR WE REBUILT THE MILITARY. >> Dana: HE WENT FROM ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. A CEREMONY THERE. HE WENT TO VIRGINIA TO THIS RETAIL CENTER CALLED THE EDEN CENTER AND TAKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND TAKING QUESTIONS INCLUDING ABOUT THE DEBATE. I THOUGHT THE DEBATE WAS SET SEPTEMBER 10TH. >> Bret: WE OFFERED A SEPTEMBER 4TH. HARRIS CAMPAIGN SAID THE FIRST ONE WE'RE DOING IS SEPTEMBER 10TH ON ABC AND NOW THE RULES OF THE DEBATE. IT WAS LOCKED INTO WITH THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN. NO AUDIENCE, MICKS MUTED. SAME AS THE CNN DEBATE THE FIRST TIME. NOW THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN IS CHANGING THAT AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. THE FORMER PRESIDENT ALSO HAD
