Debut episode of Blaze TV's coverage of the Vice Presidential Debates with Don Jr., Dave Rubin, and Peter Bergen. Don Jr. joins us to talk about the VP Debates, the economy, Kamala Harris, and much more.
00:00:00.000Holy cow. I don't know about you, but I didn't feel comfortable with just the plexiglass.
00:00:05.780So I have been sealed in our isolation chamber. And I, of course, have been wearing the mask.
00:00:10.500But now that the debate is over, I think it's safe enough to come on out and talk a little bit about the most important debate in the history of the world.
00:00:23.000We've got some great guests, including Don Jr., joining us in just a minute.
00:00:30.000Hello, America, and welcome to Blaze TV's coverage of the vice presidential debate.
00:00:44.700My commentary, I'm going to give you just a few highlights.
00:00:49.460And we have Don Jr. going to be joining us from Dallas in just a minute.
00:00:54.400Also, Dave Rubin. Oh, Don's ready to go.
00:00:58.940I thought we would have to stall for a few minutes, but he's ready to go.
00:01:02.800Donald Trump Jr., before I say anything, let me get your reaction. What do you think?
00:01:10.960I bet he just destroyed her and he did it with a smile on his face.
00:01:15.680He had an answer for everything. He called out the lies when it was appropriate.
00:01:20.880He kept his cool. He pointed out the cold, hard facts of Joe Biden's failed 47 years in the Washington, D.C. swamp.
00:01:31.160He called out Kamala Harris's disastrous uber-leftist record in the Senate and the disaster that that would mean for the American people.
00:01:40.040And he did it with a smile on his face.
00:01:42.360And you could see just the cringe on that just the least authentic person in probably American politics, if not just America, period, Kamala Harris.
00:01:51.240And she's just getting destroyed by by this guy who just did it in the nicest possible way.
00:02:15.460She tries to do the like I'm cute thing, but she overplays it.
00:02:19.220You know, it's sort of like the fake laugh when she laughs for no reason and you have that cackle when she's laughing at something that's not a joke that only she finds funny that no one else is in on.
00:02:31.320I mean, there's really like there's a failure of personality there that's truly sad.
00:02:36.940And, you know, I think a lot of that was present tonight.
00:02:39.860But I think more importantly, her refusal to answer real issues, her, you know, the gibberish she gave us about what they would do about China and holding them accountable and just dismal record in China where he sent American jobs abroad for decades.
00:02:54.720The fact that she wouldn't answer the question about stacking courts, which obviously means that's totally their plan.
00:03:00.920They're just not going to say it because it would be negative for them.
00:03:03.520But if they don't give an answer, at least then when they do it, they can say it's not a lie.
00:03:08.840So, you know, I think all of that has been exposed and the hypocrisy of the Democrat Party has been exposed.
00:03:15.540And honestly, I think she was just a charitable choice for BP.
00:03:18.020And tonight's performance shows just that.
00:03:20.280Yeah, well, Mike Pence did, I thought, an exceptional job holding her feet to the fire and still being kind and gentlemanly in his responses.
00:03:33.480I will tell you the the thing that I liked about Mike Pence, and I thought she did a horrible job on this, was the economy.
00:03:45.580There was just no credibility coming from.
00:03:51.080And I wanted Pence to say I want somebody to say, you guys said this is as good as it's ever going to get.
00:04:28.320They got an economy as it would just started an uptick from one of the biggest recessions we've seen.
00:04:32.700A monkey doing nothing would have seen growth that they saw.
00:04:37.040You know, it didn't take anything to actually see growth.
00:04:39.760But if their economy was so good and they claimed it was for eight years because of their policies, how come Donald Trump was able to make it skyrocket the second he took over?
00:04:48.900I mean, literally on November 9th, 2016, before he even took office.
00:04:53.240But when America knew that Donald Trump had won, when small business and big business alike realized that the person in the White House for the next four years would not be anti-business, would not be for excessive regulation, would not be for excessive taxation, that's when the market started skyrocketing.
00:05:10.860I mean, Obama gets credit for sort of the period between the election day and when my father took office at the inauguration.
00:05:17.120But consumer confidence went through the roof.
00:05:19.200It was like 1,500 points in the market because they finally knew they wouldn't have an enemy in the White House.
00:06:18.580They're not as stupid as they seem that they would neglect point number one or point number two of his actual platform on his actual website.
00:06:27.620They just know that highlighting it to the people of Pennsylvania, to the people of Ohio and Michigan and Oklahoma and Texas and places all over the country where that is a huge boost for the economy, where that creates lots and lots, thousands and thousands of good paying jobs.
00:06:44.220They know it would be a dissimilar to the people of Pennsylvania and say that he's not against it, even though it's part of his platform.
00:06:53.060They will let him have both sides of every argument.
00:06:55.760I put up a tweet about it literally during the debate because there are not just one example.
00:07:00.200There are literally countless examples beyond what's on his actual website, beyond what's on his platform, where he's literally reassuring people that he's ending this stuff immediately.
00:07:09.820What does your dad have to do next week?
00:07:14.720And do you think Joe Biden is going to show up or is he going to use COVID as an excuse?
00:07:22.520I think we've got to be able to have a debate where Joe Biden doesn't get to just spew lies for hours talking about fake records.
00:07:29.800I mean, they continue to bring up the Charlottesville hoax.
00:07:32.140Other than the nonsense with Russia collusion, it's literally probably the number two hoax ever perpetrated on the American people as well as gospel.
00:07:44.460You know, literally, they get to say that the week after my father literally signed an executive order declaring the KKK is a domestic terror organization.
00:07:55.320And that's, again, the deficit that we face is we don't have the luxury or the benefit of having a mainstream media that will function as our marketing department.
00:08:03.240That will sort of, you know, pretend we didn't do the, you know, just pretend that this is the case.
00:08:13.180Anyone decent, whether it was talking about, you know, Joe Biden and his COVID response, whether the idea of keeping travel open from China, whether it's disastrous policies as it relates to China.
00:08:23.440On a trade perspective, whether it's the disastrous handling of Joe Biden of swine flu back in 2009, where even Joe Biden's own head guy, because Joe Biden had a similar role that Mike Pence in leading the response said, man, we basically got lucky because it was a disastrous response.
00:08:41.160And by the way, they forgot to replenish the PPD after it was over.
00:08:45.080No one talks about it, just like they don't talk about Hunter Biden and millions of dollars from China and millions from the Ukraine and millions from a Putin associate in Moscow.
00:09:41.160I think he has to try with those facts and let them try to contest it later on.
00:09:44.760And that's our job to be on the ground, actually bringing that message to the American people.
00:09:48.620I mean, that's why I spend my days literally for the last few months traveling the country, averaging four or five states a day.
00:09:54.840Because, again, we don't have anyone that's going to campaign for us like Joe Biden does.
00:09:59.480He has the media that will campaign for him.
00:10:01.140He doesn't have to leave the basement of Delaware.
00:10:02.720But for once every couple of days, we don't have that luxury.
00:10:06.420We actually have to get out there and spread that message that we need our people to organically reach out to their friends, make sure they understand what's at stake.
00:10:13.260Make sure they're getting the true picture of the disastrous policies that would be the radical left agenda that is the Biden-Harris administration, or as Kamala and Joe both referred to it as the Harris-Biden administration.
00:10:25.720I don't know what it feels like to be you and your family.
00:10:32.500I wouldn't trust a single person outside of my own family.
00:10:40.840I said today on radio, and I'd like to see if I was even close to accurate.
00:10:49.300They said that this declassifying of this material was the October surprise.
00:10:55.220And I said, I don't think that was the October surprise.
00:10:58.460I don't think that was intended as the planned as the October surprise.
00:11:02.380I think Donald Trump was pissed that nobody is doing anything about this.
00:11:09.400All of this information is there, and he just trusts the American people, and he just said, screw all of you.
00:11:31.440You see that from the upper echelon of the FBI and the CIA, and they're trying to pretend that there's some sort of magical trade secrets.
00:11:38.420The trade secret is that they were all in on it, Glenn.
00:11:41.360The trade secret is that they all knew, and they did it on purpose.
00:11:45.280Is anyone in the world dumb enough to think that 27 high-level lawyers and prosecutors at the FBI all magically deleted their cell phones by accidentally typing in the wrong password 15 times?
00:12:02.520You know, it is truly a sad state of affairs, though, when you have a country like the United States of America in the year 2020, when no one in the supposed free press has any interest in even finding out the truth now.
00:12:16.860They're actually rallying against transparency.
00:12:20.100They're rallying against transparency.
00:12:21.660You would think transparency is sort of part of their job description, but they're rallying against it because they know it hurts the Democrats who are in on it.
00:12:30.040They know it hurts these corrupted, criminal bureaucrats at the upper echelon of our intelligence community and our law enforcement community and the FBI.
00:13:02.280We now have evidence and documents in their own handwriting that the president of the United States and Joe Biden knew about this, actually orchestrated this, this hoax with Hillary Clinton and the help of our intelligence agencies.
00:13:46.540You see that, frankly, you know, in many of these institutions where they'll sort of start leaking stuff out.
00:13:51.660They'll make bad decisions that they know is against the will of the administration, but they'll put it out because they know it'll do some damage.
00:13:56.920And maybe the issue is small enough that it'll skirt under the radar of the president who's dealing with a pandemic, who's dealing with China, who's dealing with Iran, who's dealing with, you know, bigger issues.
00:14:07.080And so, you know, that sort of systemic in there, I think that's their hope.
00:14:10.480I think that's what they're going to try to do.
00:14:12.880You hear what's going on at the CIA and the people there supposedly trying to stall this information.
00:14:17.300Why wouldn't the American people need to know this?
00:14:19.020These are American actors colluding with a known Russian spy to create a disinformation campaign that the president of the United States and his vice president, who's now running for president of the United States at the top of the Democratic ticket, they all knew.
00:14:33.680And we're not supposed to find out before the election.
00:14:36.440I think their hope is that, you know, if they can maybe pull off a win, if they can pull the wool over the eyes of the American people and get a win, maybe this can just go away because that's the history.
00:14:49.240And frankly, Glenn, the Republicans are as guilty of it as anyone.
00:14:52.460They're more concerned about protecting the institutions of government, despite them being failed, bloated and corrupted, as evidenced by everything that's going on over the last four years that this has been allowed to happen, that it's gone on unchecked, whether it's my father, whether it's General Flynn, whether it's Chris Wray at the FBI sitting on exculpatory evidence for years while they're trying to take down a three star general.
00:15:13.220People, this stuff can't keep going on in America.
00:15:15.740And if they're not held accountable, I am worried for the Republic.
00:15:18.720Don, I you had a fundraiser here in Dallas.
00:15:23.100And for the first time in my life, I wrote a check for a candidate.
00:15:28.900And when I put it into the hands of the GOP fundraiser, I said, I don't want this going to the GOP.
00:15:37.020This needs to go to elect Donald Trump and the rest of it needs to go to the attorneys that are going to do the actual battle after the election.
00:15:49.660I don't trust the GOP, but as a guy who was, as you know, really not for your father, I have tremendous respect for him.
00:16:03.040What he has done, he is the first president in my lifetime who has actually done all the things that I not only thought he wouldn't do, I don't think any president would do.
00:16:21.800And by the way, as we've discussed, you know, in 2016, I could actually understand a lot of skepticism.
00:16:26.900If you were conservative, if you were pro-life, if you were pro-religious, you know, is the brash billionaire from New York, is he really going to fight for you?
00:16:36.400Now, in 2020, the answer is unquestionably.
00:16:38.700He did it much more so than people who were much more vocal about this issue.
00:16:42.100By the way, not only did he do that, he got us out of endless wars.
00:16:45.400He's signing peace deals in the Middle East.
00:16:47.160He grew the strongest economy I've ever known.
00:16:49.520He renegotiated failed trade deals that people like Joe Biden, who wouldn't know what to do with a trade deal, you know, if they spent another 50 years working on it because they had no experience outside of government, wherever it's on.
00:17:08.580And honestly, you know, I understand the history there, and it means a lot that you understand that and you recognize that and that you've been, frankly, so open about it because that's not an easy thing to do.
00:20:41.320Ali, did you feel that way at the beginning?
00:20:44.260At the beginning, I was watching Mike and I thought, oh, he's not really answering the question and he's doing all the typical political, you know.
