GREG KELLY (HOST): So, there's a lot of anticipation about the big interview. She's agreed to an interview. Her first one, her first one. How does that -- how is she pulling this off? How are these poll numbers the way they are? Maybe they're not. Maybe it's all fake. But this is what's happening tomorrow night.

Wow, you hear all that music? It's breaking news. It's a big deal. She's going to be on television taking questions. This is an abomination, when you think about it, that she can -- I mean, what is this, affirmative action? I mean, I know people say, oh, you're not supposed to say that. It's not a DEI hire. But who else would be treated this gently?

Barack Obama wasn't. I'll give this to Barack Obama, when he ran for president, he was all over the media. On nice shows, on little shows, man on the street, 60 Minutes, Good Morning Des Moines, everywhere. That's what you're supposed to do when you're running for president. Same goes for Donald Trump. He did a hell of a lot more actually when he was running. And he still does a lot more.
