Chris Wallace destroys Trump Fox News 'Trump lost debate Kamala Won'

he stood and she executed that plan where where whereas Trump I don't know what the plan was that he had Jake I didn't think I was ever going to witness a debate as devastating as the one that you and Dana uh moderated back in in June where Joe Biden basically tanked his reelection campaign I think tonight was just as devastating I think that kamla Harris pitched a shut out uh on almost every subject I can think of she shut Trump down on a board she shut Trump down on January 6th in democracy she shut him down on National Security and turned to the former president and said the military leaders who served with you think that you're a disgrace and then as Dana mentioned very powerfully at the end made the point that she is the candidate of change and we need to turn the page from a a decade of division and polarization on substance I think she she pitched a shout out and I think she did on style as well I mean my the image of the to me is she's there happy smiling expressive shaking her head uh and dismay at things Trump was saying and Trump looked angry scowling she was looking directly at the audience he was looking at the moderators and arguing with them and something else he Donald Trump look old tonight and and you know some somebody said uh on my show on Saturday she wins just by showing up I didn't know that that was going to be true I think it was she was the candada just from the moment that two of them were on the everything that she said abortion immigration January 6th it took about 40 minutes to get to a question pressing vice president Harris on the list of changing policies from when she ran for president in 2019 about an hour before foreign policy came up the first question of the debate are you better off than you were four years ago never fully received an answer there however vice president Harris was clearly well prepared practiced on the offensive much of the night former president Trump did take a lot of the bait that she threw out in some of those answers but he pointed time and again as he did there at the end about what she has or has not done as vice president the question now is how much does this move the needle yeah I mean it has to be said that she was really never held to the fire she was not pressed by the moderators on her past positions and how she got from a very Progressive most Progressive senator to where she is now um and that falls on ABC um and I think there were moments when it felt like they were helping her out and they were not helping him out um there were times when he didn't pivot as well as he should have to move on to some of the points that he no doubt wanted to make um he went down a few cat and dog holes uh rather than rabbit holes tonight which will be discussed no doubt I thought the strongest moments were foreign policy Iran when he talked about Ukraine Afghanistan and that closed why haven't you done it okay let's go Around the Horn uh Brit Hume thoughts well I thought the uh single question that needed to be answered tonight was Madam vice president why have you changed your position give us your thoughts on why you changed position not just on the handful the small handful of issues that were raised by the moderators but on a range of other issues there were like two questions on the whole thing all evening she never had to account for her changes never she said she'd go down the list she never really she never did now look uh make no mistake about it Trump had a bad night uh he rose to the bait repeatedly when she baited him um something I'm sure his advisers had begged him not to do um you know in the first debate when Biden attacked him he just kept his cool and kept going um and this in this debate he rose to debating and we heard so many of the old grievances that that we'd long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically and there they all were you know talking about how he didn't lose the election and all that I mean so my sense is that she came out of this in good shape now how long this will last and and is is is anybody's guess but um for for tonight at least this was pretty much her night you're saying she had a good night I'm saying she certainly did Sean Hannity is in the spin room uh thoughts on this debate Sean I disagree on other parts of what he said I think the biggest loser in the debate and we talked about this pre-debate is ABC I you know the fact that we we didn't get to fundamental strong positions that KLA Harris had take taken um on very deep and profound issues involving the economy and immigration and and ending Private health care and defund and dismantle uh there were there was a lot of cliche a lot of rehearsal that I saw in in her performance okay that's fine that was anticipated um I was there were a lot of lies that she told about abortion about project 2025 about gun confiscation and that was frustrating and on on a lot of fronts I think that the biggest epic fail here is that you know we're now 50 days in and early voting for example we're in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania tonight starts one week from tonight and then it rolls out in all these other swing states that matter I I I I don't the fact that we don't know if she still supports you know Free Housing Health Care education and sex change operations for illegal immigrants is unfathomable to me after an hour and a half debate does she still support defund dismantle no bail laws does do we have an answer on no fracking and no drilling she didn't say that in 2000 even CNN fact checked her after her 16 minute and 29 second debate uh we we don't have answers on the economy bomic being a great success president Trump I thought was effective on the issue of okay 3 and A2 years you've been vice president why haven't you gotten these things done and in many many ways that pass that she's gotten has been the greatest disservice I think tonight to the American people that's on ABC Disney uh that really shouldn't be the other candidate's job to be to be challenging them especially when you have muted microphones uh we don't know anything about kamla Harris and that's frustrating I didn't hear you what no that's it we were listening to you thank you Sean thank you Sean oh okay uh let's go to Harold Ford Jr Harold um your re your takeaway from tonight so I agree with Brett uh this what has to be thought of by supporters of Donald Trump uh and people in that campaign is a disappointment June 27th we talked about before was a different kind of collapse for Joe Biden in some ways this has to be thought of as as a collapse in some ways I got reaction from Republican friends the two common things were train wreck and he needs this to end these are people who support him and I think we'll continue to support him I said about Joe Biden that night that he seemed all over the place he seemed unprepared and unorganized I get the sense I I think ABC the the moderators could have done a better job but it's almost like if you're in a basketball game and you go up against playing a team that's taller than you you don't complain at the end of the game they're taller than us we knew that before he's used to people piling on him he just didn't seem like he was ready remind if you're a voter watching tonight I was reminded of the great Dennis Green the former coach of the Vikings who said they are who we thought they were and Donald Trump tonight was that guy too she conveyed the calm she she conveyed a preparation did she answer all the questions about the the switches no but I would have thought that he would have raised some of those I know we said well should he have to do that when you're in a fight for which you believe is the fight for the country in the soul of the country then you have to be willing to do those things finally um she was tenacious on Russia she had clarity about the future of the country he was a little too gloomy I thought and when ask I saw on the table I've never heard Donald Trump not be definitive about a set of plans he said I have concepts of a plan here we are 506 days from an election you've been president before he's got to recover from this and we'll see if there's another debate I hope the two of you are moderating if there is another debate and if I'm him I'm asking for one Speaking of which uh senior advisor to the Harris campaign Brian Fallon just sending out that was fun let's do it again in October um to that point fox has officially invited both campaigns uh to a debate in October uh we have sent a formal invitation as we had before and we've renewed that specifically for uh a debate to be hosted on Fox News in October we hope they take it up seems like the American people would love another opportunity to see these candidates it's been such a short window and they deserve as many opportunities as possible we certainly hope uh that they will take us up on that Jesse your thoughts I don't think the American people are watching and thinking any of these people won this was this was rough this was pretty intense at times she started off shaky she regained her footing but I thought she was going to come out with some of these memorable lines all the memorable lines were from Donald Trump Run Spot rum sh I'm speaking does that sound familiar wake Joe Biden up at 4:00 in the afternoon and go get him to sign this thing to close the border I took a bullet because you said I was a threat to democracy and they're eating the pets you know you watch this thing if you're a Democrat you're like oh she did a great job she was much more forceful than Joe Biden if you're a republican you look at this and you're like that's Donald Trump he had some moments where you were like oh my God where are we going with this and then he just had some great knockouts and so this race just got tighter that's probably true we're going to see what exactly that looks like we we are we are just getting started on our analysis a PIV pivotal night in the 2024 campaign our coverage continues right after this very short break stay with us kamla Harris was given one important job as vice president Monitor and control our Southern border how did she do did she take the job seriously did she do all she could to protect protect American citizens from an invasion did she do anything at all you haven't been to the Border I and I haven't been to Europe and Ian I don't I don't understand the point that you're making here's her Grim scorecard murders rapes attacks on children a 12-year-old girl in Texas a mother of five in Maryland a nursing student in Georgia all savagely murdered by those Biden and Harris led into our country unlik awfully we have a secure border kamla Harris was and is a complete failure at her job now she's asking us for a promotion who in their right mind would give it to her restoration pack is responsible for the content of this [Music] advertising welcome back that was something wasn't it final thoughts Dana Pino I think he got harder questions than she did um but he missed more opportunity and he he he took all the bait and none of the opportunities she pivoted better but there were a couple things like for example when when Harris brought up Charlottesville and the fine people hoax that was a great opportunity for the moderators to push back because that's an obvious one and they didn't do that so I think that there if there's a grievance on on that part you'll see it I do think that he won on points on his first answer about the economy and then his last answer was good so if you only watch those two parts and if you like first impression and last impression you might leave with an impression that he did all right I'm surprised that her team came out already and offered a second debate because in my opinion I don't think she needs it because she has shown that she doesn't have to do anything have to do Media or anything and now all of her surrogates and her spokespeople can say she already answered that she already answered that so they they could just try to figure out a way to Coast bring all that money in and try to spend it and try to win Pennsylvania which is key for her yeah but um you know it's all about the swing States Laura obviously and if she if her people look at tonight and they say look she did well her confidence is growing she wants to reach out and try to win those swing States we should do it yeah I mean I think at the end of all this she prepared for a couple weeks uh she moved the points a little bit on on the betting markets but in the end we all know what we knew before that ABC's goal tonight was to help KLA Harris and ABC did help kamla Harris now did Donald Trump miss a few opportunities absolutely did she miss a few opportunities yes she did especially when he said you're right I fired those people because I fire people who are incompetent I thought that was one of the strongest moments of the debate there's very little accountability in all of government and this has happened across administrations so I think in the end if the steel workers in pennslvania want to keep their jobs if the Auto Workers in Michigan want to keep their jobs they see this debate and they see one person standing up for them and it's still Donald Trump but Brit you know you look at the CNN interview with danab bash that she does alongside her her nominee Tim walz this is a different person who was well prepped absolutely well prepared had answers and knew where she was going not only a different person from the person she was in that interview on CNN but a different person from the absolute dunderhead uh so many of us thought she was during her conduct as vice president when she would come out with these ludicrous statements and started nowhere and ended in midair unburdened by the past un unburdened by sense and and here she was tonight she was composed she was prepared she kept her cool she saw advantages she took them she baited him successfully which is the story of the debate in my view um so she came out ahead in this in my opinion uh no doubt now now whether it'll move the needle in the race very few things seem to but but um but that remains to be saying what are you going to say does it move the needle though it may or may not but think about this most people didn't know her they heard the leadup that she was going to be unprepared that she was was a cackler that she didn't she had mismanaged things you watched this tonight and you don't know much about this you said all right when am I going to see that person because you saw a different person this evening now I'm delighted that there's going to be a second debate at least there's an eagerness and a willingness on the part I'm going to do it again uh because I think these questions should be asked of the vice president about the Shi and positions but what I don't get and I all of you all I respect everybody on this panel why didn't he ask these questions of her I mean if you're in a if you believe that your candidacy is that important to the country I didn't say be mean Spirit about it and he he had some moments where he was a little mean he could have asked the question about the shifting shifting positions now should and moderators have done it no doubt but if I was on that stage I would have asked those questions tonight she won if she's asking for another debate though they don't think she won this debate um hands down they would be at to Dana's Point saying drop we're done they don't think think that she's in a position right now to win this race they need another I don't disagree I think it's an even race I just think she she she won t night let's hope that they say yes and again we have the formal invite out there um this has been quite something because there was a lot of buildup to this moment yeah there was a lot of buildup the question is how many people watched for how long and how much did it move this race because it's as tight a race as we have ever seen in this country and last time we sat here Joe Biden was running against President Trump so who knows what's going to happen next thank you all for tuning in tonight and joining us for the presidential debate Hannity is up right now [Music]
