Trump Demands APOLOGY From ABC News For Fact-Checking Him
Former President Donald Trump is demanding an apology from ABC for accurately fact-checking him during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
- 10 minutes
And I haven't gotten an apology.
I want an apology from ABC.
If Trump wants an apology from ABC,
wait till he gets a load of us, okay?
Because we're doing Trump rankings.com
where we don't just
fact check him on two things.
We got 64 of the worst things
he's ever done.
[00:00:16]
So let's play the game.
This is like March Madness
you play at Trump brackets.com.
Make sure you're voting.
Get your votes
in three seed versus a 14 seed.
This should be easy. But is it?
Let's find out.
Threaten to target
his political opponents if reelected.
That seems pretty bad.
That's the three seed failed
to reimburse cities for campaign rally
[00:00:33]
expenses in previous campaigns.
That would have been very controversial.
I mean, stiffing local areas that are
in swing states and just not paying them.
Outrageous 14 seed for Trump.
So, here's one of many, many, many clips
we could show you on him attacking his
[00:00:50]
political opponents in the wrong ways.
Today, especially in honor of our great
veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you
that we will root out the communists.
Marxists, fascists and the radical left
thugs that live like vermin
[00:01:07]
within the confines of our country,
that lie and steal and cheat on elections
and will do anything possible.
They'll do anything, whether legally
or illegally, to destroy America
and to destroy the American dream.
[00:01:23]
Your political opponents are vermins
who are looking to destroy the country.
I believe I've heard that before.
I think it was 1930s.
I think it was around, Germany.
Somewhere around there.
All right. No, you can't say that.
You can't say he's fascist
just because he's using
the same exact language as fascist.
[00:01:39]
No, I can, and I just did. Okay.
And about the cities,
if you don't know, El Paso, Texas.
Spokane, Washington.
Mesa, Arizona, Mesa, Arizona,
green Bay, Wisconsin all said they had
outstanding invoices with Trump's team.
Billings, Montana said it
also hadn't been reimbursed.
Reimbursed for assisting with a rally.
[00:01:55]
Of course he stiffs everyone
six giant bankruptcies.
He said it's smart
not to pay your investors.
Is it or does it just make you
a low level fraud con man?
I could attach many other adjectives.
All right, let me give you one more game,
and then we'll discuss,
[00:02:12]
seat six versus an 11th seed here
suggested shooting BLM protesters
in the legs and weaponized Covid 19
by referring to it as the China virus.
Well, actually,
let's listen to how he says it.
[00:02:27]
Covid 19,
or as I call it, the China virus.
The China virus,
the China virus, the China virus.
I call it the China virus.
I call it the China plague.
Kung flu. Yeah.
Kung flu. Kung flu.
[00:02:44]
All right.
He actually didn't enunciate China
as much as in those clips
as he does on economic issues.
So that's interesting. Anyways.
All right, what do you guys think so far?
Go ahead.
Well, first of all, you know, I was
thinking when I was hearing him talk about
[00:03:00]
the vermin in these, you know, on the
other side, the Democrats, the Marxists,
all that Hillary Clinton said one thing
she said basket full of deplorables
as sort of, by the way, to some people,
correct, but politically foolish.
[00:03:15]
It just shows that he can say
whatever he wants and it doesn't matter.
That was a tide turning remark
when she made it.
Here he's saying, we're going to root out
the vermin and that are living amongst us.
And so, you know, to me that is I'm going
to have to vote for that.
[00:03:31]
Ironic to it's in New Hampshire and he's
no longer really running in New Hampshire.
But but yeah, that would be if we're
voting here, that would be my vote.
Yeah.
So obviously Mike was going
to go on Trump brackets.com in a minute
and do that vote.
And so yeah that's a I just want
to say that's a great point by Michael
[00:03:48]
because like did the media not notice
like that deplorables is not nearly
as bad as vermin or a thousand other awful
things he said about Democrats.
And but yet we have these nonsense debates
and like,
[00:04:06]
as if we can't hear Donald Trump.
I don't know about you guys,
but I got eyes and ears.
I can hear him.
He sounds like a deranged lunatic.
Oh, no, you can't call Trump that.
Piers Morgan is going to cry as we speak.
Oh, that, that's, rhetoric
that is harmful to Donald Trump.
[00:04:22]
Yeah, we're running against him.
He says rhetoric
that's a billion times worse.
Anyway. Go ahead.
Well, on the other on the other matchup.
So the China virus, I think the way
they tried to blame all of Covid on China,
[00:04:37]
the country and the Chinese government,
if you however, you want to see
the origins, I don't think it matters.
People suffer and people died.
His mismanagement exacerbated that.
Unfortunately, there have been a lot
of Democrats that also have kind of run
with that language, not as explicit,
but trying to get to the root cause.
[00:04:57]
What's there are a million people
who are no longer with us as a result.
I'd rather focus on the suffering, but I
think despite that suggested shooting
Black Lives Matter protesters in the legs.
I would vote for that one.
That's I would argue that is worse,
because we have seen people take it upon
[00:05:15]
themselves to go out and harm protesters.
We did see him celebrate police brutality
during the George Floyd uprising.
I mean, I accumulated a supercut
in the June of 2020
that demonstrated in city after city
across the country with impunity,
[00:05:34]
they assaulted protesters,
and he was calling
for a greater escalation of violence.
And we saw, of course, some people
kill other people, kill protesters.
So for that and the culture
that his comments fostered,
I think that would get my vote.
[00:05:49]
All right. So let's go to the next game.
It's another, top seed.
It's a two seed versus a 15 seed.
Two seed is found liable
of sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll seems
like a pretty terrible thing.
I can't imagine any other candidate
that was found liable of sexual abuse
[00:06:07]
that would still remain a candidate.
- But we live in unprecedented times.
- Are these.
- Do you know what seeds.
- Yeah, that's the two seed.
And the claim that windmill noise
causes cancer is a 15 seed.
So the fans voted on this
and they put in some amusing ones.
[00:06:22]
In fact, if you don't remember,
that's what he said right here.
If you if you have a windmill
anywhere near your house, congratulations.
Your house just went down 75% in value.
And they say the noise causes cancer.
You tell me that one.
[00:06:37]
Okay.
Right there.
You know, the thing makes it so.
They don't say that.
You say that you made that up
and then nonstop made up numbers.
Your house goes down to 75% in value.
The other day he was in New York,
and he said, kids who go on the subway
[00:06:53]
in Brooklyn have a 75% chance of dying.
There's a lunatic in the race.
I mean, that's part of the reason
why we do Trump Records.com just to remind
everyone, go tell everybody about it.
Make sure your family
and friends are playing
so they remember these crazy things.
But that one, in terms of what's worse,
is pretty obvious.
[00:07:11]
Barack Obama was not a natural born
citizen as a seven seed
in our final matchup today, and gave his
own family jobs and pressured intelligence
agencies for clearances is a ten seed.
I mean, again, Jared Kushner,
the national security agencies
[00:07:29]
know something we don't.
But after he went to Saudi Arabia and
Saudi Arabia, arrested a bunch of people
and shook them down and tortured them,
our national security
intelligence officials were livid
and denied him security clearance.
And Trump was like,
who cares if he's selling us out?
Security clearance?
Only a ten seed according to the voting.
[00:07:48]
Okay, so anyway, so here's Trump
on where Obama was born.
Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?
Three weeks ago when I started,
I thought he was probably born
in this country, and now I really have
a much bigger doubt than I did before.
He doesn't have a birth certificate
or he hasn't shown it.
[00:08:09]
Why are you still question
that he was born in the United States?
- Do you?
- I have no idea.
A few years ago,
you led the birther movement.
You sent investigators out to Hawaii
to find out whether or not Obama,
[00:08:27]
which you said was not born here.
And it turned out to not be true.
Well, I don't know.
According to you,
it's not true, I don't know.
He released his birth certificate.
You know, if you believe that,
that's fine, I don't care.
It's an old subject.
Gee, I wonder
why people think he's racist.
To be fair,
he also questioned John McCain.
[00:08:43]
Oh, he didn't question John McCain
even though he hates John McCain
and John McCain.
Actually born in Panama.
Gee, I wonder
why he questioned Obama instead.
Okay. Terrible person.
- Jordan, what do you think about these?
- You know, I this.
Isn't to discount the corruption
in that family and giving everyone jobs.
[00:08:58]
And Jared Kushner, of course, exploiting
that relationship with the Saudis.
But that is a problem.
Corruption is a problem,
but it's not a unique problem.
I think for me,
it is not just that he questioned
Obama's citizenship and birthplace,
it's that being the foundation
for the rest of his political career
[00:09:16]
and also total transformation
of the Republican Party,
used to be the racism was in hushed tones.
They would walk right up to the line now
that showed you can you can cross it.
It's totally okay.
There will be zero repercussions
so that that gets my vote.
Yeah.
I mean, everything
that Jordan just said and,
[00:09:34]
it was it's the genesis of being
able to say whatever the hell he wants
and having that be accepted
and having that be seductive
to people around him who are looking
for that kind of a narrative and the fact
[00:09:50]
that it's now permissible because of him.
This is where it started.
This is where it began.
And we have gone downhill on race
from that side on race.
And, and and it was, I think,
where fake news started.
And, and so it's been disastrous
for this country.
[00:10:07]
Yeah.
So guys a lot of these are
very close in the voting.
And there's a bunch of upsets too.
So make sure you go
to trump brackets.com and voting.
And then after you vote,
share it on social media so that if
a million people play this game,
then it might even affect the election.
[00:10:23]
Just look, I had forgotten those tweets
that we just showed you on the screen
with this lunatic conspiracy theories
about people being killed
to hide Obama's birth certificate.
He's been a deranged mental patient
the entire time.
It's just since the right wing says,
well, I'm just as deranged as he is.
[00:10:41]
We have to take him seriously.
No, he's a lunatic.
No. Nobody died in a plane crash
to hide Obama's birth certificate.
Cuckoo for Cocoa puffs.
