On this episode of Triggered, host John Rocha talks about the historic 3-on-1 debate between Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Joe Biden (D, D-DE) in the first Democratic primary debate, and how the moderators failed to give her a clear path to victory. He also talks about why the mainstream media won't cover this episode and why we have to work harder to make sure that we break through all of the noise and actually grow this movement. Also, he talks about how big tech is stacked against us and how we need to work even harder to get the message out there and get the word out there about what's going on in the world and what's happening in our everyday lives. And finally, he answers the question, "Are you better off today than you were four years ago under President Trump?" What's your favorite part about the debate? What did you think of it?

00:07:35.000These are the things the mainstream media and CNN and MSNBC and all of the others Will not cover whether it's the lies, the only one way fact checking, etc, etc.
00:11:14.000This is how we move the needle, folks.
00:11:16.000If you pull that money out of corporate America, they're going to notice and they're going to change their ways and we can get back to a normal way of life in America.
00:11:25.000So with that, let's get into some of the top headlines, OK?
00:12:52.000She went out in Minnesota and wanted to let criminals that killed people, that burned down Minneapolis, she went out and raised money to get them out of jail.
00:13:02.000She did things that nobody would ever think of.
00:13:05.000She does support defunding the police.
00:13:08.000And even ABC News itself, the very Agency that hosted the debate reported it with this story.
00:13:17.000Quote, Harris in 2020 said, we have to redirect resources from police.
00:14:08.000And as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world the first time this century.
00:14:57.000Kamala even stated, this one, this one's disgusting, on the eve, on the eve of 9-11, because the debate happened, on the 10th, That January 6th was worse than 9-11.
00:15:16.000On the eve, the night before the 23rd anniversary of the worst terror attack in the history of the United States, Kamala Harris said that January 6th, where only one veteran patriot, Ashley Babbitt, was killed, that was worse Than 9-11, when a bunch of radical jihadis flew two planes into the World Trade Center towers and another almost into the Pentagon and another went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
00:15:46.000And January 6th, though, was somehow worse.
00:17:13.000With no place on the streets of a civil society.
00:17:16.000I've seen assault weapons kill babies and police officers.
00:17:20.000So, one, I'll tell you when elected president, if the United States Congress continues to fail to have the courage to do something about this, I'm prepared to take executive action and put in place a ban on the importation of assault weapons into our country.
00:17:34.000But we still have to deal with Interesting.
00:17:47.000Seems like a big issue that wouldn't be fact-checked if ABC News wasn't a corrupted, broken bureaucracy and propagandist for the Democrat Party.
00:17:57.000Kamala Harris hid from her radical record and all of her actual true positions and beliefs tonight because she understands or her team told her that the American people will reject them.
00:18:17.000Fortunately, we had moderators who are clearly biased, who are constantly fact-checking Donald Trump.
00:18:26.000None of these kind of whoppers that the vice president was saying, and none of her failure to really explain that, answer that first question, that very, very critical first question.
00:18:37.000They simply sat there on the sidelines and allowed that to pass.
00:18:44.000Now if you're wondering why there was so much media malpractice, take a look at ABC's leadership.
00:18:51.000The executive in charge of ABC News' division is named Dana Walden, and she's one of Kamala's best friends.
00:20:47.000Reuters, not exactly a conservative publication, interviewed undecided voters after the debate and found that six out of the ten of them are now backing Trump.
00:20:57.000Reuters wrote that voters said, Harris did not convince them that she would pursue different economic policies than Democrat President Joe Biden.
00:21:08.000If she wanted to pursue different policies, she could have been doing that for the last four years.
00:21:14.000My father's closing statement basically said that.
00:21:16.000If you're going to change all these things, why haven't you started?
00:21:19.000It's not like you're not one of the most powerful vice presidents in the history of the world, in the sense that Joe Biden's clearly absent and he's spent 40 plus percent of his time in the presidency on vacation.
00:21:29.000If Kamala Harris wanted to change something, she could have very easily done that.
00:21:32.000If she wanted to start changing something, she would have begun that process already.
00:21:36.000But she has no intention of changing anything.
00:21:53.000Yes, no, yes with an explanation, no with an explanation.
00:21:57.000She just dodged the question because she knows the answer.
00:22:01.000The New York Times, likewise, found that undecided voters said that Kamala did not seem much different from Mr. Biden, and they actually wanted change.
00:22:32.000They're not going to just buy the label that Kamala Harris, who's been in power, who's been in government, who has a decades long, radical, San Francisco, liberal, Daughter of a Marxist professor, background, is somehow going to be the moderate candidate of change.
00:23:26.000Trump's pitch was a little more convincing than hers.
00:23:30.000I guess I'm leaning more on his facts than her vision.
00:23:34.000Well, that's true, because her vision is trying to adopt a MAGA policy that she has no intention of ever seeing through, but she understands that that's probably a good idea to do with swing voters, just like they did with fracking.
00:23:45.000When every one of the Democrat primary platform in 2020 raised their hand that they would end natural gas exploration and fracking in the United States, then Joe Biden gets on the debate with my father after he wins the nomination and says, I would never do that, even though he said it in front of millions of people on TV a few months prior to that.
00:24:07.000Day one, they ended the Keystone pipeline, killing tens of thousands of good, blue-collar, hardworking, well-paying jobs and our energy independence with it.
00:24:19.000You really think Kamala Harris isn't going to institute her gun bans or all of the other things she's going to do?
00:24:37.000That's always weighted heavily towards the Democrats.
00:24:40.000Even CNN's own flash poll found that more voted trusted my father on the economy after the debate than they did before the debate.
00:24:48.000Just listen to this one undecided voter in Pennsylvania.
00:24:53.000I think it's important to remember that we are voting for the leader of our country and not who we like the most or who we want in our wedding party, but who is actually going to make our country better.
00:25:05.000And we're in an incredibly unique situation where we've had both of the candidates in office before and we've gotten to see what they would do.
00:25:12.000And when facts come to facts, my life was better when Trump was in office.
00:25:16.000The economy was higher, inflation was lower.
00:25:19.000Things were better overall, and now with Kamala's administration, things haven't been so fantastic.
00:25:26.000And she's saying she can fix the problems that her administration has caused, but I just don't know if I can afford to take that risk.
00:25:40.000And Wally's moderators were abusively biased, like, like something we've never seen before,
00:25:46.000but should not at all be surprised about given sort of their actions over the last decade.
00:25:52.000Elsewhere on ABC, they were forced to admit that the most important question, are Americans
00:25:58.000better off than they were four years ago?
00:26:01.000Kamala Harris wouldn't even answer the question.
00:26:06.000Vice President Harris was asked if she believes Americans are better off now than they were four years ago.
00:26:11.000And frankly, as you pointed out, she didn't answer the question.
00:26:14.000She instead pivoted to talk about, in broad brush strokes, some of the policies that she's highlighting.
00:26:19.000Small business tax credits, down payment assistance for home buyers, an expanded child tax credit.
00:26:26.000And perhaps one of the most striking contrasts was on the issue of Ukraine and the endless wars.
00:26:32.000My father made it clear he wants the war to end to save lives.
00:26:39.000But Kamala and the swamp Well, guys, they want it to go on forever.
00:26:45.000Despite having no goals, no sense of what the goals are, no idea of what victory actually looks like, this is how the government and their bureaucrats and their friends get rich, while sending our kids off and other people's kids off to go die for absolutely nothing.
00:29:20.000But we have a president... Mr. President... ...that doesn't know he's alive.
00:29:23.000And honestly, guys, despite ABC's fake fact checks, we have more evidence of the madness going on in Springfield, Ohio.
00:29:33.000As we told you earlier this week, and if you've been following me on X or Truth or Instagram, Residents of Springfield, Ohio are coming forward to reveal disgusting behavior by the Haitian immigrants who are granted protected status under the Harris-Biden TPS program.
00:30:46.000Two weeks before anyone was talking about it, here's an audio call to 911 on August 26 to the Clark County Sheriff's Office in Springfield of a caller reporting four Haitian migrants carrying dead geese to the police.
00:33:49.000Their kids are getting hit by drivers who've never driven cars that the government's just giving IDs to and probably cars and every other program imaginable.
00:33:58.000Insurance premiums for people who had auto drivers, just drivers, are going through the roof because now with the influx of other people that don't know what they're doing, their premiums are going and getting jacked up.
00:34:09.000Not because they did anything wrong, not because they got into an accident, but because now they live in a problem area.
00:34:15.000Americans are second-class citizens in their own home.
00:34:22.000Watching people who can't afford to live in their own homes, who are being displaced, who have children going to school with a massive influx of kids who don't speak English, who can't learn.
00:34:32.000That's before we get into the IQ stats, which aren't pretty if everything that I've read out there is true.
00:34:40.000And once they confirm that something is real, if they ever do, they just choose to ignore it, right?
00:34:45.000So now we know, we have audio of this, we have multiple reports, now that people are actually talking about it, other people are coming forward.
00:34:53.000Wednesday on CNN, a Biden surrogate mocked the idea of transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants, okay?
00:35:02.000Dogs and cats and this transgender aliens sex change.
00:35:07.000These are not the things that American people want from a president, whether Republican or Democrat.
00:35:12.000So she showed herself to be presidential last night and Donald Trump showed us who he is, this older man who is out of touch, who is not fit for the highest office in the land.
00:35:25.000Yet Jim Acosta just sat there nodding along.
00:35:29.000He didn't mention that it was on CNN that reported literally on Monday that Kamala Harris supports taxpayer-funded surgeries for illegal immigrants.
00:36:08.000Yeah, and this was a questionnaire that she filled out for the ACLU, and this questionnaire is really an interesting snapshot in time of that 2019 Democratic primary.
00:36:18.000Kamala Harris was trying to get to the left of Bernie Sanders.
00:36:21.000She was trying to get to the left of Elizabeth Warren, and you really see that in a lot of these answers, and I want to walk our viewers through a little bit of what she said.
00:36:28.000Let's just take immigration and look at what she said here.
00:36:31.000She said on immigration, she made this open-ended pledge to end immigrant detention.
00:36:36.000She said she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.
00:36:42.000She also said... Taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.
00:36:47.000She wrote, both wrote and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this.
00:36:53.000And she said she also supported it for federal prisoners.
00:36:55.000Now, she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50 percent, close all family and private facilities, and decrease funding for ICE, and then to end ICE detainers with local law enforcement.
00:37:09.000I mean, these are things that, you know, it would be hard to think that you would come up with taxpayer funding, gender transitions for detained migrants.
00:37:17.000And yet, as you say, written and verbally.
00:37:23.000Guys, this is all sort of reminiscent of how the media used to cover Joe Biden's dementia.
00:37:29.000He'd struggle to finish a sentence and they would just tell us, he's fine.
00:37:47.000Kamala Harris could come out and say, I want to seize all of your property, and I want to give it to the illegals, and they would tell us that she is a moderate.
00:38:00.000And another issue that largely went uncovered last night is the issue of crime in Democrat-run cities.
00:38:09.000Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing spotlighting the terrifying stories and suffering under Democrat policies that look the other way as violent criminals destroy once great cities and towns across our country.
00:38:25.000It's not just Aurora, Colorado or Springfield, Ohio.
00:38:31.000Or some of the, you know, Lima and some of these neighboring towns in Ohio, they're getting the overflow and now it's going into Pennsylvania and I'm sure it'll go into Michigan and all of these other areas.
00:38:42.000These are once great cities that are being destroyed.
00:38:45.000Just look at this video from the House Judiciary Committee.
00:39:23.000And just like that, within 90 seconds of being in San Francisco, I witnessed open-air fentanyl use, a carjacking, and ended up on the nightly news.
00:39:31.000In the 30 minutes we were at this Walgreens...
00:39:36.000We watched three people, including this man, steal.
00:40:05.000Police say they don't believe Ricky Pearsall was targeted because of his status as a 49ers wide receiver.
00:40:11.000They believe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:40:14.000We're waking up this morning to devastation in Minneapolis.
00:40:23.000Peaceful protests transitioning into violence and looting.
00:40:27.000One man is dead and another is in custody after a shooting near the demonstrations.
00:40:31.000Some buildings up in flames, others seriously damaged.
00:40:35.000An apartment complex that was under construction on 29th Street has burned to the ground.
00:40:40.000This is near the corner of 29th Street and 27th Avenue.
00:40:44.000The fire could be seen from miles away.
00:40:46.000The Wendy's nearby also burned, in addition to several other buildings around the area.
00:40:51.000And more specifically, guys, the committee spotlighted a victim of Kamala Harris's policies from San Francisco.
00:40:59.000Amanda Kiefer spoke about this, and check this out.
00:41:04.000Thanks for giving me an opportunity to speak about my experience.
00:41:09.000I was a victim of crime in San Francisco back in 2008.
00:41:14.000I was robbed and my skull was fractured in two places.
00:41:18.000I had about a dozen staples in the back of my head and nearly lost my hearing in my left ear.
00:41:24.000The guy that did it was a convicted felon, illegal immigrant that should have been in jail.
00:41:29.000Instead, as Congressman Nadler mentioned he was enrolled in this job training program on the taxpayer dollar for jobs he couldn't legally hold.
00:41:41.000And that was just crazy to find out afterwards.
00:41:48.000This type of program is happening throughout the country, too.
00:43:44.000It'll be your towns, your backyards, your neighborhoods that get destroyed.
00:43:50.000Things will get to a point where they are beyond repair.
00:43:55.000Now in closing guys, Kamala did nothing to change the fundamentals of this race.
00:44:01.000If anything, it's gotten worse for her.
00:44:04.000She's tied to the hip with the most unpopular president in modern history.
00:44:10.000But Tuesday night was a disservice to the American people who deserve to have straightforward questions and to have Kamala Harris have to actually answer them.
00:44:22.000Are they ever going to hold her accountable?
00:44:24.000Are they going to ever ask her the real questions?
00:44:27.000Are they ever going to not let her get away with just skirting it and giving us a word salad that doesn't address the fundamental issues of our time?
00:45:41.000They're just in the bag for the Democrats.
00:45:44.000And my father explained in the closing argument why Kamala's campaign is one big fraud.
00:45:53.000If she had these solution guys, if she had them, if she had answers and was going to do something, why has she not already implemented them?
00:46:03.000It seems so simple and yet it hasn't happened.
00:46:07.000So she just started by saying she's gonna do this, she's gonna do that, she's gonna do all these wonderful things.
00:46:28.000She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful White House, go to the Capitol, get everyone together and do the things you want to do, but you haven't done it and you won't do it because you believe in things that the American people don't believe in.
00:46:42.000You believe in things like We're not going to frack.
