ARI FLEISCHER (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): I'm so glad you played that, and I'm so glad CNN did that, too. Because what the American people know is that they are laughing at us. They're not laughing at Donald Trump. They're laughing at people who might support Donald Trump. They're laughing at half the country. It is the exact same clip that Don Lemon displayed on CNN when Don Lemon was mocking Donald Trump's supporters with two guests he had on his show. He laughed his head so hard it hit the set. And he said "thanks, I needed that." They laugh at the American people. And that's what we saw on CNN, that's why they cut away from it, and that's why they think it's funny that Donald Trump talks. You know, Harris, this is the disrespect for the office of the presidency for Donald Trump that just drives this country crazy, half the country crazy. It fits the deplorables line that Hillary Clinton used. So yeah, CNN's anchors and guests, they laugh at the American people.
HARRIS FAULKNER (ANCHOR): Wow.
