[SEGMENT 2-1] Examining debate lies 1 Every aspect of that debate is being examined. And the media is trying to run cover for Harris. I saw a news story were they claim that Haitians are not eating geese and cats. \xa0 \xa0
[SEGMENT 2-2] Examining debate lies 2 The fallout from the debate shocked the heck out of the Left. What appeared to be a win for them backfired. People saw more of the dirty underbelly, and they don\u2019t like it. \xa0 ECONOMY
Kamala Claim: \u201cI am the only person on this stage who has a plan on lifting up the middle class and working people of America. His plan is to\u2026provide a tax cut for billionaires and big corporations.\u201d

Fact Check: False
At the time of President Trump\u2019s departure from office in January 2021, the unemployment rate was 6.4% and trending downward due to the recovery of jobs lost during COVID. Since the Great Depression, many months have seen unemployment greater than 6.4%, including every single month from October 2008 through March 2014.
Attack on Democracy
Kamala Claim: \u201cDonald Trump left us the worst attack (January 6th) on our democracy since the Civil War.\u201d
Fact Check: False
Since the Civil War, the United States has suffered multiple attacks resulting in far more deaths than the events of January 6th. Notable examples include the attack on Pearl Harbor, which claimed 2,403 lives on December 7th, 1941, and the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people on April 19th, 1995. However, none were more devastating than the attacks on September 11th, 2001, which claimed nearly 3,000 American lives that day, including 343 members of the FDNY, 37 members of the NYPD, and 23 Port Authority police officers. Ironically, Kamala\u2019s erroneous claim came on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
Project 2025
Kamala Claim: \u201cWhat you\u2019re going to hear tonight is a detailed, and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that the former President plans on implementing if he were elected again.\u201d

Fact Check: False

Kamala Claim: \u201cIf Donald Trump were elected, he would sign a national abortion ban.\u201d
President Trump has repeatedly stated that he would not sign a federal abortion ban, as the issue has been returned to the states following the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
Moderator Linsey Davis Claim: \u201cThere is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born.\u201d
Fact Check: False
In 2019, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law that legalized abortions up to birth. The bill also removed section 4164 of New York\u2019s public health law, which had mandated medical care for any baby born alive during an abortion. Under these new provisions, babies can legally be left to die, or in other words, killed. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, now Kamala Harris\u2019s VP choice, implemented the same provision in the North Star State. In other states, such as Virginia, former Governor Ralph Northam stated that infants who survive an abortion \u201cwould be resuscitated if that\u2019s what the mother and the family desired.\u201d

Kamala Claim: \u201cDonald Trump the candidate has said in this election there will be a bloodbath if the outcome of this election is not in his liking.\u201d
Fact Check: False
Trump\u2019s words regarding a \u201cbloodbath\u201d were taken out of context. He was metaphorically referring to the economic state of the United States if Kamala wins, not a literal bloodbath among the people, as Kamala portrays. Once again, Snopes clarified this.

[SEGMENT 2-3] Learning more about the candidates 1 Perhaps because of what I do for a living, I'm extra critical of Donald Trump's performance. I've been pointing out for days now what Trump needed to do in the debate, and seeing him miss opportunity after opportunity was beyond frustrating. But according to a report from Reuters, undecided voters largely shifted to him after the debate.\xa0 "Kamala Harris was widely seen as dominating Tuesday's presidential debate against Republican former president Donald Trump, but a group of undecided voters remained unconvinced that the Democratic vice president was the better candidate," the outlet\xa0reported. Reuters interviewed ten undecided voters before and after a debate. Six of them shifted toward supporting Trump, three leaned toward Harris, and one remained uncertain. That's a rather solid outcome for Trump. "Although the sample size was small, the responses suggested Harris might need to provide more detailed policy proposals to win over voters who have yet to make up their minds," wrote Reuters. It gets worse for Kamala. Five said they found Harris vague during the more than 90-minute debate on how she would improve the U.S. economy and deal with the high cost of living, a top concern for voters. The encounter was particularly important for Harris, with a weekend New York Times/Siena College opinion poll showing that more than a quarter of likely voters feel they do not know en
