HARRIS FAULKNER (CO-HOST): Well, it does give liberal networks — and you can see this happening already last night — an opportunity not to talk about all the disasters that are unfolding on this watch, the Biden-Harris administration, and the Harris-Walz campaign won't have to answer questions about it, because lord knows that would be confusing. But it gives them a way to then hone in on the one thing they think is a unifier on the left, and that is hating Trump. I'm curious to know though, if people are really feeling bad right now, both economically and in other ways, those disasters are having a way — between the port strike and — they're affecting more and more people from both sides of the aisle. I don't know how many people are going to be paying attention to the table read that Rachel Maddow will be doing.
EMILY COMPAGNO (CO-HOST): That's right, I noticed immediately the headlines and the coverage on all of those liberal networks yesterday changed immediately. From the Hurricane Helene devastation, from the coverage of the vice presidential debate and all of the facts and statistics and policies put forth by JD Vance in contrast to Walz, all of that changed over to this. It feels dirty. It feels really dirty. And the fact that a factual proffer, by the way, that was what was unsealed? And when you dig into it, there are plenty of pages where — look, I am saying this simply as an American. Where a quote of, "Look, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you gotta still fight like heck." Why is that considered evidence for something illegal? Isn't that evidence for something enthusiastic? Like, the amount of detail — David Spunt used the word "desperate." That was the quote from Jack Smith. It is Jack Smith's portrayal as a desperate private citizen, and that is what gets dumped on our laps, on Americans' laps during election voting season, the day after a disastrous debate for the Democrat party, and we are supposed to think that's simply the wheels of justice turning? Absolutely not.
