if you take a look at that period of time the Taliban was killing our soldiers a lot of them with snipers and I got involved with the Taliban because the Taliban was doing the killing that's the Fighting Force within Afghanistan they don't bother doing that because you know they deal with the wrong people all the time but I got involved and Abdul is the head of the Taliban he is still the head of the Taliban and I told Abdul don't do it anymore you do it anymore you're going to have problems and he said why do you send me a picture of my house I said you're going to have to figure that out Abdul and for 18 months we had nobody killed we did have an agreement negotiated by Mike Pompeo it was a very good agreement the reason it was good it was we were getting out we would have been out faster than them but we wouldn't have lost the soldiers we wouldn't have left many Americans behind and we wouldn't have left we wouldn't have left $85 billion worth of brand new beautiful military equipment behind and just to finish they blew it the agreement said you have to do this this this this this and they didn't do it they didn't do it the agreement was was terminated by us because they didn't do what they were supposed to do I want to move on and these people did the worst withdrawal and in my opinion the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country and by the way that's why Russia attacked Ukraine because they saw how incompetent she and her bosser this was a staggeringly dishonest debate performance from former president Trump just lie after lie on subject after subject by my preliminary count Jake Trump made at least 33 false claims 33 by contrast by again a preliminary count vice president Harris made at least one false claim though she added at least a few misleading claims and a few more that lack key context I think a lot of Americans say well all politicians lie no major presidential candidate before Donald Trump has ever lied with this kind of frequency a remarkably large chunk of what he said tonight was just not true and this wasn't like little exaggeration political spin a lot of his false claims were untethered to reality on abortion saying every Democrat wanted Row V weight overturn though actually more than 80% of Democrats supported row on crime saying it's through the roof though it's actually sharply down since early 2023 it's now lower than it was since Trump left office on Healthcare saying he's the one who saved Obamacare the law he actually repeatedly tried to overturn on comma Harris herself saying that a Howard University grad black law Students Association president had claimed that she wasn't black at one point frankly I don't have enough time here to run through each specific Trump false claim I urge people to go to our CNN website or our app to read our team's detailed fact checks on this and a whole bunch more for now though let's dive into one false claim Trump made uh an egregious Claim about migrants supposedly eating people's pets in Springfield they're eating 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 this is not only false I think it's fair to call this odious this for people who have not been online in the last couple days this claim about uh migrants Haitian migrants in Springfield Ohio eating people's pets originated with a Facebook post that attributed the claim to a neighbor's friend's daughter uh so you know a thirdhand broken telephone kind of thing the City of Springfield and the Springfield police say there are no credible reports of this happening and even JD Vance the vice presidential candidate who himself had promoted these claims acknowledged this morning that the quote rumors might turn out false although he still encouraged people to spread these cat memes now I'll note that Trump himself added dogs to the equation they had not even been part of these viral nonsense rumors before now let's look at a one false claim that vice president Harris did make about the economic situation that the Biden Harris Administration was left by Trump let's talk talk about what Donald Trump left us Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression and what we have done is clean up Donald Trump's mess so the Biden Harris Administration was not actually left the worst unemployment since the Great Depression they were left a 6.4% unemployment rate in January 2021 that was certainly elevated by recent standards pretty high but it was significantly down from the 14.8% level it reached early in the pandemic mic so it was already improving uh at the time the Biden Harris Administration took office and that 6.4% level was the highest since the Great Recession so in the last 20 years not going back decades further
