I have a piece of glass over here, and I don't have a piece of glass there. And I have this piece of glass here, but all we have really over here is the fake news, right? [00:00:18] And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don't mind that so much, because I don't. Mind as we get closer and closer to that moment when the ballots [00:00:36] actually start getting counted, Donald Trump keeps ramping up his very dangerous rhetoric, this time inciting violence against the press. This was his Pennsylvania rally on Sunday. He said he would not mind if somebody shot through the press to get to him. [00:00:52] As usual, Trump's team is trying to engage in some damage control, this time, putting a truly bizarre spin on Trump's comments. Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement the president's statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the media being harmed or anything else. [00:01:08] It was about threats against him that were spurred on by dangerous rhetoric from Democrats. In fact, President Trump was stating that the media was in danger and that they were protecting him and therefore were in great danger themselves and should have had a glass protective shield also. [00:01:24] There can be no other interpretation of what was said. He was actually looking out for their welfare. For more than his own. Far more than his own. Wow. In addition to making light about violence against the press, Trump also made this concerning comment during the rally. [00:01:41] Watch. We had the best economy ever. We had the wall. We had everything. I built over 500 miles of where they don't even talk about the wall. But we had the best border, the safest border. I won't pull down my world's favorite chart because I don't want to waste [00:01:58] a lot of your time. But my world's favorite chart done by the Border Patrol. It said we had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left. I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so. - We did so well. - He shouldn't have left. [00:02:15] And there's your admission from Donald Trump about his desire to stay in office just two days before the election. And one other thing that has happened on this day, Donald Trump made a remark where he talked about inviting Mike Tyson, that maybe Mike Tyson should get in a ring with Kamala Harris, [00:02:31] suggesting that he would like to see Kamala Harris punched in the face. - It's bizarre. - Yeah. I mean, he's mainly punching himself in the face by doing this rhetorically and in in the elections, when you are trying to win an election where there's going to be, [00:02:50] it appears, record voter turnout from women to constantly be talking about attacking women is not a great idea. And so I'm going to protect him whether they like it or not. Not a good look. Right. And now talking about putting her in the ring with Mike Tyson [00:03:07] makes you sound like you're a wife beater. Which, by the way, according to his ex-wife Ivana, he is, And so and you allow people to bring back all of those stories of all the different sexual assaults and domestic assault, etc., [00:03:25] that has haunted Donald Trump in the past. Now, no smart candidate would say things like that. But Donald Trump, as we all know, is not a very stable genius. He's a very, very unstable person. That's why he says ludicrous things that cost him tons of votes [00:03:41] before the election. That brings us to the media thing. Look, guys, I get that he had a joking tenor to that conversation, but after they all yelled at us and everyone involved Democrats, media, The MAGA and Trump did like, oh my God, you guys said mean things [00:04:00] about Donald Trump. And some of them were such insults that we think that it might have led to people taking a shot at him. So you all have to bring down your violence. I remember Piers Morgan yelling at me for about 20 minutes straight about, [00:04:16] oh my God, the Democrats have such terrible violent rhetoric. And you can't say the democracy is on the line. If you say democracy is on the line, that means he's a fascist. That means he's like Hitler. That means somebody like, like eight different steps right here. There's no extra steps. He says they'll have to shoot through the media, which I wouldn't mind. [00:04:34] So what happened to being outraged by violent rhetoric, I guarantee you. Piers Morgan, MAGA Trump World will not be outraged by it at all, because they feel that they are entitled to say things like that, but no one is allowed to say anything back. [00:04:50] I don't want either side doing any violent rhetoric. It's a really dumb idea and for Trump to do it. Well, he could say he was joking, but so was the comedian who called Puerto Rico garbage. How's that working out for you guys? Again, if you're a Republican, you should be 10,000 times angrier [00:05:08] at Donald Trump than we are because he's costing you the election. None of this makes anybody at home who is undecided go. You know what? Trump's not joking around about shooting the media. That makes me think that he's really stable. And that's the guy we got to go back to. [00:05:25] I bet we won't have four years of anarchy as he calls out enemy from within and how people he doesn't like are criminals and rapists. And should we use the military to shoot them and the media? Ha ha. Wouldn't it be funny if they were shot? [00:05:40] So please spare me any fake, fake, fake outrage about what any Democrat says after Trump says all of this. Well, the irony of this joke is that also, I mean, there's already sort of a blame game. That's sort of being by both campaigns. [00:05:56] If Harris loses, they've already tried to figure out, you know, who's going to be responsible to blame Joe Biden if Donald Trump loses, some of his people are already saying it's Donald Trump's fault. And I think there's actually some merit to the argument that Donald Trump's campaign has actually been fairly disciplined. If you look at the speeches, just the part that is actually supposed [00:06:13] to be on the prompter, not the ad libbing, he's constantly supposed to be focused on inflation. Whether inflation is up or down is irrelevant. He claims it's the record inflation, immigration that we have a, you know, a swarm coming in that violence is up even though that's not true. But the campaign itself has been very disciplined in trying to get voters [00:06:31] to focus just on that. And if you look at the advertisements, the ads are fairly effective in drumming home those messages. But what Donald Trump, who has always been undisciplined and always likes to sort of ramble, has been doing for the last several weeks is constantly stepping on the campaign message. [00:06:47] And it's, you know, I guess there was a time four years ago, maybe even eight years ago, where Donald Trump's rambling a little more and a little more bite to the curveball. He hadn't he hadn't quite lost a step yet. And so I suppose there was a sense of humor when Donald Trump would sort of go off the cuff and very charismatic, and he would engage voters, and they loved it. [00:07:03] But now Donald Trump is old, he's lost a few steps, he's slower, and some of his comments just don't make any sense. And in a campaign where discipline really would be crucial for Donald Trump if he's going to win this thing, he's his own worst enemy. By constantly reminding people of things they don't like about him [00:07:21] and constantly energizing women, older voters, people who care about democracy, people who don't like wife beating. I mean, Donald Trump is essentially checking all the boxes for essentially getting out the vote for Democrats. Yeah, and two more things from what we just discussed, [00:07:39] him saying that I shouldn't have left. Like, what is that? Like, okay, hey, we I wish I had won. We would have had a better four years. Perfectly fine. Of course. That's totally fine, right? I shouldn't have left. Well, brother, that's how losing an election works. [00:07:56] You leave if you say I lost the election, which he knows he did, and you don't leave. That's a problem. That, in fact, that's the number one reason why seniors are switching over to Kamala Harris is because this guy says he won't leave, but this idiot doesn't realize that. [00:08:14] And he's like, oh, I got a great idea. I'll tell them everything is rigged and I'm not going anywhere and I'm not going to accept any defeat. I mean, they asked him a simple question during the debates. Are you in favor of a peaceful transfer of power? He said, well, it depends. No, it doesn't depend. The peaceful transfer of power is at the very end [00:08:32] after all the counts and recounts, etc. So if you've gotten all your recounts and you've gotten all your court cases, it doesn't depend. You need a peaceful transfer of power. That's why we talk about how he's a wannabe dictator. [00:08:48] ET cetera. Because he doesn't understand the simple concept of if you lose, you leave. And so this guy, he's like the mainstream media used the word uses the word disqualifying way, way, way too often. They'll drop it at the in a, you know, at any mention of a thing [00:09:07] that they don't like, but not leaving after you lose an election and encouraging a riot where they chanted about killing your vice president and you saying he deserved it to your chief of staff and talking about terminating the Constitution. Yeah, yeah. Those are reasons why people say I think it is disqualifying. [00:09:27] What if we put you back in and you don't leave? Finally, we'll end on a funny note because he, David, raised you. Steven Cheung's comment about the rally comment about shooting at the media. He said that he that Trump was just looking out for their welfare. [00:09:45] The media's more than his own. Except you heard him say, well, they'd have to shoot through the media, and I don't think I'd mind that. I don't. How is that looking out for theirs? So that's my point, guys. Whether it's Trump or all the people around him, they don't mind lying to you [00:10:01] brazenly and rubbing your face in it. Yeah, he said, shoot the media. I don't mind whether it was joking or not. And I'm going to now pretend that he meant protect the media. Well, okay, why don't you just hang a giant sign around your neck [00:10:17] saying I'm a giant liar? You should never trust anything that comes out of the Trump campaign.
