BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): It seems to me you're probably, in that situation, you should really be briefed ahead of time that you are probably going to be walking into a hostile environment. I think it caught him by surprise. I also don't think that it's a winning issue to bring up Kamala Harris Indian, black, it doesn't matter.

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Right. Issues.

KILMEADE: You are just running against a Democrat. That's what I think the thing is. President Trump is so unaware of race and gender. A lot of people say wow you don't talk to women like that. You don't talk to minorities like that. He's like 'I'm running against that person.' That's all he sees. And we all know this by now. Not people that know him personally. And people that have been in the public -- watched him in the public for the last 8 years. Well how can you say that to a minority? How can you say that to a woman? All he sees is I have to win. I don't like what that person is saying. I cannot believe they are not here and this is where we are.
