My aunt. All right. Good. So, problem about tonight already? First of all, this blue set is totally weird. It looks like a fish tank. I don't know what's going on, but how about this? We the people. We the people. Preamble to the Constitution. [00:00:15] Right. Well, okay, first of all, it's slanted. That's weird. Is it. Is it weird? I don't think it's that weird, but you just heard from Newsmax host Greg Kelly, who in the middle of the debate between Donald Trump [00:00:34] and Kamala Harris last night decided to go on some strange rant about the set that ABC news used for the debate venue. And he thinks that there's something weird at play here. So, let's hear more from Greg Kelly on this big conspiracy. [00:00:53] How about this? We the people, we the people. Preamble to the Constitution. Right Well, okay, first of all, it's slanted. That's weird. But the other thing we the people, some dumb New Yorker article came out about five years ago that said those are the most [00:01:08] powerful words in the English language. The DNC took those three words DNC 2020 and made it the theme of the convention. We the people, we the people, we the people, we the people, we the people. The purple chick from soccer. All your favorite liberals. [00:01:29] We're on. Favorite liberals. We the people, we the people. And again, look at this again. We the people. I think it is a nod to the Democrats. What else is new? Got him. Got him. [00:01:44] What? What was that? What was that? I mean, this is. I don't know, Jordan. I feel like this is the ultimate example of coping mechanism. Like something I need something to take my mind off of the fact that my preferred [00:02:00] candidate is just getting slaughtered on that stage right now. Politically, obviously. Hey, don't scroll away, come back, come back. Because before the video continues, we just want to urge you to lend your support to t t u power our honest reporting. [00:02:16] You do it at t.com/team and we love you for it. Let me just give you one little piece of information. If you're wondering why the set would have the words we the people, it could be because of the fact that the debate was held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, where, you know, [00:02:34] we the people would make sense. And, anyway, go ahead. Thoughts? Well, is this his first debate? That's what I'm wondering. Is this the first time he's sat down and watched a debate? Because you can look back at 2016, 2008, you can go further. [00:02:51] There are frequently those types of images in the background of debates screen not screenshots, but depictions of our founding documents. That's a common theme in presidential debates. [00:03:06] But I also like we can't just gloss like we have to be fair to the the magnitude of including the purple woman from soccer in a video. It's just that it is unfair to Trump. He doesn't have purple woman from soccer on his side. [00:03:23] And it's just it's an unfair advantage. They're trying to exploit it. We want to run a fair race. We just have to acknowledge it. Look, I, I do go out of my way to understand what the other side's arguments are, what they're talking about, what they're saying. [00:03:39] I is the purple soccer girl thing. Is that a thing? I don't know what that is. Is that like a story or did something happen, like, I don't know, like he really singled out one person. Oh, that's who it was. - I got it. - Video. [00:03:55] Oh that's funny. I couldn't like, see who it was I just thought it was a random soccer player. I'm like, why are you picking on this person? What's going on? That's hilarious. So let's let's move on, because that's not the only insane conspiracy theory for. I can't believe that. Like, that was bottom of the barrel. Like you could do better than that. [00:04:13] Greg Kelly, I believe in you. Okay? I think you're conspiracy brain can come up with something better than we the people is slanted. That's weird. Like, okay, but there's someone who, you know, went a little deeper. Okay, so a lot of right wingers don't want to face the music [00:04:30] about Trump's performance. Now, again, a lot of conservative pundits in mainstream media certainly admitted the truth. It was not a good night for Trump. But, one of Trump's advisers, and I literally can't believe that he hired her as an adviser. [00:04:45] But he did. And maybe, maybe last night should let him know that that was a mistake. But Trump's adviser, Laura Loomer, thinks that Kamala Harris was cheating during the debate. In fact she is alleging that Kamala Harris was wearing an earpiece during the debate [00:05:02] and someone was feeding her lines. So let's take a look at her post, where she circles Kamala Harris's earring and declares, interesting choice of earrings tonight, Kamala Harris. And then, of course, the image also includes I used these [00:05:18] new smart earrings to listen to music. They totally surprised me. And then she, of course, circles the earrings worn by the woman in this other picture. Right. And those are supposed to be the headphones that allow people to speak to you. [00:05:34] Or you could listen to music. Now, sadly, she is not the only bozo that believes that Kamala Harris needed an earpiece to have lines fed to her. It was also shared by others on social media. Tara Bull, which is a great handle, says that she's buying this as well. [00:05:51] Rumors are circulating that Kamala Harris was wearing audio earrings and being fed lines Isn't this against the debate rules? I'm sure it is against the debate rules. The good news is that Kamala Harris didn't break the rules because, she's not wearing audio earrings and she's not having lines fed to her. [00:06:09] How do I know that? Well, let's let's take a look. As pointed out by Ian Carroll on X, the blue arrows that you're looking at right now point to the model's actual pierced earrings. And the pink arrow is the headphones themselves. [00:06:26] Okay. So according to what Kamala War.com one of my favorite sources. Kamala Harris is wearing a pair of Tiffany hardware. Oh, Tiffany hardware pair earrings that she has actually worn [00:06:42] multiple times in the past. I don't really pay that close attention to her earrings, but I'll go ahead and take that at face value. So there you have it. You see her wearing the earrings? And, I also double checked to make sure that Tiffany doesn't sell audio earpieces [00:06:59] for, you know, debate performances. This is it's okay to admit when your preferred candidate didn't do well. In fact, it's actually better if you are Trump's advisor. It's actually better to do that because then you can recalibrate moving forward. [00:07:16] But if you want to tell him pretty little lies and make him think he did really well, it was just that Kamala Harris was wearing these special earrings. Okay. Go ahead. We'll see how that works out for you. Well, you might remember, I'm, 2012, the first debate between Obama and Romney. [00:07:33] Obama was terrible, and people, understandably, were critical of him. He looked rusty. He looked cold out of it. Romney kind of ran circles around him. I don't know if it was as bad as last night, but it was a bad performance for Obama. His team prepared going into the second and third debates, [00:07:50] and they sounded he sounded a lot better. He was better prepared. He I think, won both of those debates and ultimately was reelected. Trump surrounds himself with people who just tell him yes, who just stroke his ego and in the case of Laura Loomer, [00:08:06] will spread conspiracy theories if something is inconvenient, if the truth is inconvenient. Obama didn't have a team that did that, and that's why they were able, like you say, Anna, to recalibrate. I say let, let let let them continue doing this. [00:08:21] Let them continue to deny reality as he goes out there and makes a fool of himself by talking to people last night who are casual political observers. Maybe they lean a little left, but don't follow it too closely. They were confused by things like the dog story, right? [00:08:39] Confused like it's that is such a purely hyper online thing. The average person doesn't know what that is. And then they see Trump saying, they're eating your dogs. He sounds crazy. It's so true. It's it's insane. It's terrible. [00:08:56] Campaign management. It's so true. Yes. I said something similar when I was covering this story a little earlier in the show. And by the way, I think we're all guilty of this. I'm certainly guilty of it. Right where I forget, you know, most normal people aren't [00:09:11] in it the way we are, right? Like, they're not as engaged in the everyday reporting on what's happening in the political world. You know, they've got jobs, they've got families to take care of. They have a lot going on. People are busy, and they might be like casual connoisseurs of what's happening in political news. [00:09:27] But most people not aware, most normies not aware of that insane allegation about migrants eating cats and dogs. Right. So if they see Trump saying that on a debate stage, you have to think, what does a normal person who doesn't know about that whole debacle think when they hear a major presidential candidate say something like that? [00:09:47] And now I'm connecting the dots. Jordan, you helped me connect the dots, because if you have Laura Loomer of all people advising you. It kind of makes sense that he would fall flat during this debate. Like it was, sir. Surround yourself with, like, smart people. [00:10:04] Try it. Try it for once. It might work out for you, but, you know, if he doesn't want to, I guess it's best for the Democrats, right? Yeah, well, he'd rather have people who just stroke his ego and tell him, yes, it was Laura Loomer. It was a real just wonder team. It was Laura Loomer and Tulsi Gabbard. [00:10:21] Tulsi Gabbard played the role of Kamala Harris in their debate prep. And there you go. You get that. That's your benefit. But we also to be real and jokes aside, Democrats were going into that with the benefit of having running against him now for the third cycle in a row. So they do know how to prepare. [00:10:37] And they had Philippe Reines, who has played the role of Trump in debate prep now for the third cycle in a row. So they do know how to prepare. And that's why I think you saw such a good performance from Harris. I think so, too. And I also believe that Trump and his campaign really did themselves no favors [00:10:55] by underestimating Kamala Harris, and I think they genuinely believed what they were saying about her inability to debate him. But that also set a very low expectation among voters when it came to that debate performance. [00:11:10] And so when she showed up and she killed it, well, I mean, that made her performance seem even better, right? So, like, I love that they underestimated her. I love the fact that she did her homework and she worked. Really? You could tell she worked really hard. And you're right. [00:11:25] I mean, the people who are advising her are clearly learning from the mistakes made by the Democratic Party in the past. And I'm really happy to see that. I'm not happy that it took them this long to learn the right lessons, but whatever. I mean, they learned the right lessons and that is certainly a good thing. [00:11:42] So we'll see if there's going to be any other person coming out and coping this pathetically. But I will say one other thing. I would I would have assumed that Elon Musk would engage in this nonsense where they're just denying reality and trying to make it seem [00:11:59] like it wasn't Trump's fault or no, actually, Trump did really well. But no, even Elon Musk came out and admitted that Kamala Harris did really well because he happened to be one of the other people who underestimated her. So it's a common thing for a lot of women to be underestimated. [00:12:15] - It's kind of a secret weapon. - Yeah, yeah. No, it's I mean, you can use it to your advantage sometimes, but it definitely speaks to the prevalence of misogyny in our society and our culture.
