Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch, host of The Fifth Column podcast, to talk about the biased ABC moderators during the presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, examples of ABC's clear failure to be fair, how the debate performance will affect the public's trust in legacy media, how the moderators could have handled the debate more fairly, what Trump could have done to fight back better against the bias, Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, the over-the-top reaction by Tim Walz and Lawrence O'Donnell, why focus groups on CBS and CNN show voters appear largely unmoved by Harris’ debate performance, the potential disconnect between political commentators and the electorate, the lack of substance by Harris, voters thinking Trump was still stronger on the economy after the debate, VP Harris' fear-mongering about Trump and abortion at the debate, one nurse saying it was "medical misinformation" that went uncorrected, and more.
