breaking tonight, it should have been presidential debate number 1 here on fox but kamala harris took a pass. so donald trump decided to go it alone, holding a live town hall and marking his ticket -- tickets 36 interview in the past month. meantime after just one interview last week, harris and walz continue to play dodge the media. >> governor, are you going to take any policy questions? [ inaudible ] >> madame vice president, how is debate prep going? >> trace: more on that in moments but we begin with the former president taking questions for more than an hour with a fired up crowd in battleground pennsylvania. live in harrisburg with the details on this. >> reporter: good evening. in that town hall, the former president also of course making

his first comments about the upcoming presidential debate and talking about the rules, the rules changing back-and-forth. those rules were just announced by abc news today and that includes that the microphones will be muted, there will be no audience and no notes allowed for the candidates. trump was doubting that the network will be fair as he went over the back-and-forth between the two campaigns. listen. >> did her campaign, when they said that they wanted to change the rules that they had agreed to, did they ask for notes kicked did they ask -- >> they wanted notes. >> they wanted you to be seeded and they wanted your microphone hot. >> they wanted a desk. i said you have to do a standup. >> after they'd agreed to the other. >> but they wanted a desk from the beginning. so did sleepy joe. >> reporter: trump and harris are in a fight for the battleground state, the two our neck and neck in the keystone state as harris returns to

pittsburgh on thursday. trump morning pennsylvania voters tonight not to believe harris is flip-flop on fracking. >> even if you don't like it, you can sit there and say i can't stand that guy, but there's no way i'm going to vote for her. you have to have fracking. you are the biggest in the country for this. you have two of the biggest sights in the world, it's a massive business for pennsylvania and you can't take a chance. she will not allow fracking. >> reporter: the town hall tonight was yet another opportunity for the former president to show his willingness to take questions on the campaign trail. vice president harris actually taped a radio interview today. that will air on friday. it will be her second interview since becoming the nominee and can you believe this, early voting in some counties in pennsylvania begin as early as

september 16th, that's less than two weeks away. it is fully game on right now. >> trace: indeed it is. aishah hasnie live in harrisburg, thank you. at spring and axiom strategies erin perrine and former house oversight chairman, fox news contributor jason shea fits. welcome to you both. i like to light a little more sound from the town hall. here's the president saying regardless of what you think of me, you need to vote for me. >> you can't take the chance. you have to vote for me. you have to vote for me. [ cheering and applause ] >> even if you don't like me. even if you don't like me, you can sit there and say i can't stand that guy but there's no way i'm going to vote for her. >> trace: erin perrine, your thoughts on tonight's town hall? >> i think this was a great opportunity for donald trump to contrast kamala harris. she does not do these longform

interviews, she doesn't take freewheeling questions, and tonight he did. when he was talking about you may not like me but you should vote for me, that's a lot of the argument you've been hearing, will this be personality focused or policy focused? donald trump is saying when you look at these policies, the economy, the border, the geopolitical disaster, everything is worse under joe biden and kamala harris. you remember how it was, let's go back to that. it's a really winning argument. >> trace: and on the other side of the coin, jason chaffetz, kamala harris and tim walz running away at every chance they get from the media and i think it really is a stark contrast. >> donald trump is the best retail politician, best streetfighting politician if you will that we've ever seen. that was donald trump at his best. you don't have to like me but do what's best for america, do what's best for your own interests, to what's best for pennsylvania and these other states because you know i'm right on all of these issues

like energy and fracking and safety, security, the border, dealing with israel and overseas, all of these things are going in donald trump's favor so get over the fact you may not like me, i think it is a winning message. >> trace: meantime now to some of the poles, nate silver posted this on x today, quoting "pennsylvania, michigan has become an issue for harris" going onto right, in addition to pennsylvania, michigan has become an issue for harris, national poles and polls of other swing states mostly decent for harris but erosion in pa, am i hurts a lot in the model. why the erosion in pennsylvania and michigan? >> will you saw this initial bump and bounce and harris is polling not only when she came to the top of the ticket but when tim walz joined. that was more of a coalescing of the base of the democratic party. but now that voters, independent

swing voters and even those that sit in the democratic voting base are hearing more from kamala harris which is i'm more of joe biden and more progressive than that on a lot of these things. not only is not offputting especially to that voter in michigan who says that's not what they want. for independent swing voters, if they are hearing they will get more of the same economic disaster, that will be a turnoff as well, that's were you see some of the softening. >> trace: a lot of the issues she's not talking about, but reparations is now kind of back on the front burner. we wanted to play some of this sound, this is kamala harris in the past talking about reparations. >> should black people get reparations? >> i think there has to be some form of reparations. >> you are for some type of reparation? >> yes, i am. >> a bill to form a commission to study how to do reparations. if you are elected president, would you sign that built for came across your desk? >> when i'm elected president i

will sign that bill. [ cheering and applause ] >> it's a good point to make that hurt campaign is not talking about this. no surprise. but 68% of americans are against reparations. >> i think she was pandering at it's worst. i think she was just doing that. look, she's been in the senate, one of the most liberal senators catches been the vice president for three and a half years. if she felt strongly about this, she should have done it. but i think her answer is just, it's fake. she's just pandering, that's who she is. and again, it just goes to her credibility. that's who she is. >> trace: and her phoniness has been called out from the phone and the year -- earplug, it's been called out a number of times over the past couple of days. thank you both. now let's see how the media is reacting to trump answering voters questions and how kamala harris is avoiding questions from just about everyone. senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with

the new information on this. >> reporter: before we unpack some of the exchanges at tonight's town hall i want to share a bit of context. while the former president and his running mate, ohio senator jd vance, have conducted a combined 35 plus, 36 if you count tonight, interviews over the last month, yeah, the vp and her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, they've managed just one. one single interview and that was done together on cnn. of course she's been interviewed by ricky smiley, that coming out friday, riqui who's known for his radio show pranks. meantime while harris and walz are dodging basic questions about their plans for the country, if elected, ignoring voters who count on reporters to ask questions for them, the former president continues to face the music in so much as he's taking questions from all corners, including at tonight's town hall in pennsylvania in which he said this about the vp...

>> she loses her train of thought a lot. she goes -- that's why she doesn't want to do interviews. can you imagine her during an interview like this or like any of them? >> reporter: mister trump and his democratic rival spent a lot of time in the battleground state of pennsylvania over the last several weeks and for good reason, because since 2008 the candidate whose won pennsylvania went on to win the presidency. and the battleground state bonanza continues. thursday harris back in pittsburgh. on friday the former president makes his way down to north carolina for a fraternal order of police speech and on saturday he's in the badger state of wisconsin. >> trace: many believe she has to win pennsylvania or she's not going to win. kevin corke live in dc, thank you. [♪♪] [♪♪] >> trace: the "fox news @ night" commonsense department just read an opinion piece in the liberal outlet called the new republic.

it makes a very simple argument saying kamala harris should skip plans and policies and stick with the vibe. but just so commonsense is clear, the advice is not just for harris to keep the joyride going, no, the advice is to shut down any and all information about where kamala harris currently stands on everything. here's the key sentence in the op-ed, "there's no indication that harris needs to offer specific potentially divisive policies on any issue." so the people who support the person running for president are not just telling her to zip it, they are telling her to zip it because whatever she says will offend somebody. and why offend when you can blend, when you can morph, when you can be all things to all people? and let's face it, most people are not paying attention so why not keep your options open? you want to cater to conservatives? adopt trump's policies. you want to placate

progressives, say your agenda has not changed. and in between, say nothing. or even better, say the same thing again and again in different accents. commonsense thanks harris will soon reveal a brand-new slogan, make america great again, except she will pronounce it maw-gaw. let's bring in one of america's great former news anchors dee sarton. welcome to you both. dee sarton, this is tim walz avoiding again all the questions. watch him. >> governor, are you going to take any policy questions? [ crowd noise ] >> governor, what are you -- governor walz. >> trace: i mean i guess i'm in the media so i don't get it.

i wonder why this strategy, because it's now a pattern. why are they avoiding everybody like the plague, why not answer questions and get yourself out there and get your message out there? >> well i think that op-ed was up to something there because i've been asking myself that question all day. when i was in the media, i love to the fact that i got to see candidates in action. i got to meet them, i got to talk about vibe, you got a feel for their vibe, but i got to see who they really were. we are not seeing that in this cycle. what disappoints me is we have such an opportunity as voters. president trump is maxing out on podcast, he's doing podcasts with everybody. podcasts have exploded in the four years since the last election and that's where you really get to see a candidate for who they really are. i have to say, trump sat down with such a variety of podcasters and he's the same person in every podcast. i would like to see if kamala

harris could do the same thing. >> trace: it's a great analysis because even if you don't listen to that podcast, the word gets out and that's an important part. the problem here, this is a reporter from fox 43 telling fox digital about the tim walz event saying, a reporter from the local nbc affiliate shouted out question after governor walz was finished speaking to volunteers and we were told by the campaign to not disturb the interactions between governor walz and the volunteers, telling the media don't disturb tim walz? he's running for office. >> the open disregard with which errors and walz treat the media makes a mockery of our press because if we had a functioning and self-respecting press, they would have so much more coverage about the lack of interviews, access, transparency with his campaign but we don't have a functioning press, we have a propaganda press and kamala harris' team knows that, they know they can throw out 20

minute interview and a few press releases and the press will still give the best coverage in the world. it's really unfortunate for the american people who depend on the press to get answers to those tough questions 60 days out from election. >> trace: and being scolded at a rally because you are being too loud? the new york times rights this about the debate rules, these just came out, vice president kamala harris' campaign has begrudgingly agreed to have her and former president donald trump's microphones muted when they are not speaking, a position top harris officials tried to change last week to give themselves an advantage when the candidates meet on stage next tuesday. i mean they wanted to kind of go to the former president into talking over her so that she could scold him a few times during the debate. what do you think about the rules? >> i was glad when i saw how they were going to operate this particular debate because i'm afraid it's the only one we will see. i would love to hear how they are both going to address the issues and each other, but i really don't like the talking

over each other. i don't think anybody does. i do think that that whole concept of goading each other is minimized by that. i thought that was a good move and i'm glad to see it and i can't wait to watch the debate, but i hope that it won't be the only opportunity we have to see kamala outside of the edited, all the produced ads that are out there. >> trace: we are going to see it here next week. joe, philadelphia eagles then had this to say very quickly. >> that's what i'm concerned about, the fact that they are spreading lies, that the eagles endorsed kamala harris as a candidate for president in the united states. >> trace: eagles did not endorsed kamala harris. it's this fake promotional stuff. about 30 seconds for you. >> look, this is a fake ad and it goes perfect for a fake candidate. i'm a harris is a manufactured candidate by the media. people have no idea why they support her so having a fake at endorser is great when you are a

fake candidate. >> trace: thank you both. meantime a horrific tragedy at a georgia high school, at least four people killed in a shooting, many more sent to hospital with injuries. a 14-year-old suspect is now in police custody. senior correspondent live in georgia with the latest. what are we learning tonight. >> reporter: law enforcement revealing some new details and it's likely the numbers will stay the same. four dead, nine wounded. those nine wounded with shotgun wounds in hospital. they are likely all to survive. likely to stay up four dead but sadly among those four, two students killed just aged 14. we've learned the weapon used was a rifle by the shooter, ar-15. how the 14-year-old suspect got access to that rifle, how he got it into school still not known. we are learning more too about an fbi tip about the suspected shooter. one year ago he was living in a

different county, there was not enough information to take any action on that tip but certainly some red flags early on the suspect. a lot of the relatives of students inside the school learned about the shooting as it was happening, including a text exchange between this grandmother and her granddaughter inside the school during the shooting. >> my oldest granddaughter texts me and said i love you. it was strange and so she text back and says come and get me now, somebody is shooting at the school. and when she said that, my heart to just dropped. >> reporter: there is a lot of heartbreak and there was a lot of panic here earlier today. authorities say that that 14-year-old suspect will be charged with murder. they also say they expect to try him as an adult. back to you. >> trace: live for us on the ground, thank you. let's bring in former member of

israel special operations counterterrorist unit and fox news contributor and former nypd inspector. thank you for coming on. the 14-year-old suspect in today shooting made online threats apparently last year. the fbi released a statement saying, the jackson county sheriff's office located a possible suspect, a 13-year-old male and interviewed him at his father. the father stated he had hunting guns in the house but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. it seems like this is a red flag and this is the first thing you look at when the same stuff starts to bubble up again a year later, aaron cohen. >> i agree with you. i think that we've seen enough active shooters in the last 25 years since columbine for a couple of significant changes to happen between federal and local law enforcement. one, there needs to be greater threat assessment rules implemented the moment a kid like this is flag. that needs to generate some type of an immediate alert.

the second thing is the protocols between the fbi and local authorities for increased monitoring. it's real simple, special operations, we call this intelligence. the longer you have eyes following this case, the better off you are at preventing the shooting from happening. i'm not saying we need school security measures and let's start checking bags, we aren't there yet but we are getting close. a plug could've been put in this hole had those measures been emplaced. >> trace: here's the sheriff, watch. >> there shooter was armed and our school resource officer engaged him. the shooter quickly realized that if he did not give up... that it would end with an officer involved shooting. he gave up, on the ground, the deputy took him into custody. >> trace: two points for you, paul mauro. fourteen is young for a shooter. we've covered these for years. are you surprised the shooter decided to surrender?

>> i am surprised. both of those things are unusual incidents. one of the things you have to consider here is that he must have been new to the school. it's a high school. given his age, he must be a freshman. it's the beginning of the school year so this feels to me like something that he was really determined to do that might not have had anything to do with any trigger in the school itself. one of the things this is going to go back to, and whether or not it will apply under georgia law remains to be seen, is the case where the parents were charged because the student had access to their guns, despite very obvious red flags. in this case, we know the flags were there to the extent that the fbi was notified and yet nonetheless he was able to do what he did. a lot of investigation to go here, motive, social media, digital investigation, all of those things still to come but you know that is something that will be looked at very hard. >> trace: i want to switch over quickly because

whistleblowers now say the secret service was woefully unprepared to provide security for former president trump at the rally. woefully unprepared. the whistleblower said this about this, watch. >> they were pulled off those cases and said here, you are going to guard the former president of the united states. watch this webinar. it doesn't really work but that's okay go out in the field anyway. this is a nightmare and we still have no answers. the only reason we know this is because of whistleblowers. outrageous. >> trace: 15 seconds for each of you. >> this one gets me fired up. do we need an investigation on the investigation right now? we have homeland security agents who are not secret service assigned to president -- former president trump's protective detail and went through a two hour video on how to do secret servicing, not acceptable whatsoever. this gets more bizarre by the minute. >> trace: whistleblower, what you think, paul? >> first of all we need the

operational plan. the operations plan still does not appear to have gone to congress. that will answer a lot of questions. secondly i'd like to see congress get individual officers from the locals into congress under oath and debrief them because they will talk and we may get some answers finally instead of going through doj. >> trace: paul mauro, thank you. more protesters at columbia and more student say they don't feel safe. a freshman student points us next. later in the nightcap... >> while there are many reasons to vote for kamala harris, the most significant may be that she's a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country. >> trace: amazon's alexa got busted, she was kind of shilling for harris, did not want to talk about trump. why is that these big tech errors always favor the left? let us know x and instagram, @tracegallagher, next.

to walk out of clinton's "sham class" and accused her of having blood on her hands. columbia's -- >> war criminals deserve no peace. >> reporter: columbia's anti-semitism task force recently released a damning report detailing shocking anti-semitic incidents on campus but some jewish students say it's just another example of all talk and no action. >> when you have anti-semitism working in the shadows and you deny it instead of addressing it, that sends a pretty clear message about everything else you are doing. >> reporter: and in the nation's capital, large protest resumed at georgetown university were demonstrators chanted if we don't get no justice they don't get no peace. for many of these schools, they are trying to avoid seems like we saw last spring which saw intent clashes with police to say the least and only people with valid student ids could enter the main campus. other schools like the university of pennsylvania though have reportedly fenced off areas and placed no trespassing signs at the sights

of those former encampments. >> trace: we will see if it works. ashley strohmier live in new york, thank you. let's bring in co-author of stolen youth bethany mandel and columbia university freshman. thank you for coming on. i want to play some sound, this is one of your fellow freshmen students at columbia university. watch. >> i don't feel safe on campus even now that i'm here. from my room i can hear the protests quite clearly. him on the second floor facing broadway. walking through campus, i notice flyers being handed out to visibly jewish students, basically fires telling them they are complicit in genocide. i feel like there's a target on my back for being jewish. >> trace: to you and other jewish students at columbia share her concerns? >> one hundred%. she's a friend of mine and i completely agree with what she said. even starting last week with the beginning of orientation, we saw

these masks protesters handing out pamphlets to visibly jewish students from classrooms that face broadway. we can hear the chanting and it's majorly disruptive. i feel constantly targeted. >> trace: it's amazing. bethany, to you, the new york post says "meta board rules and a israel slocan from the river to the sea is not hate speech, despite hamas using it to call for jewish states destruction." meadow wants to make sure they said this in their statement, that there is robust debate when it comes to saying and chanting river to the sea. your thoughts on this bethany? >> can you imagine if we allowed robust debate about the validity of any other country in the world existing? we don't have open debate like should we destroy belgium? no. so i mean the double standard that is applied to the jewish state is glaring and honestly as

an american jew, terrifying. >> trace: it really is. i think it's fascinating that they actually say this is the same company that shut down debate during covid, shot down the hunter biden laptop thing and now they want robust debate? i want to play more sound, this is another jewish student who says that students who say they are feeling unsafe are deceitful. listen to this. >> i think there are a lot of responses to that. especially as a jewish student myself, i don't want to discount the seriousness of anti-semitism but i think that the vast majority of claims have been either outright deceitful or have been overinflated. >> trace: what would you say to somebody who thought your concerns and your fears are overinflated? >> i think that's a really unfair comment to make. i know for me and for many other jewish students on my campus and others, being a zionist and being jewish are very deeply intertwined. so i think asking us to feel one

thing instead of the other and then telling us that our fear is invalid makes us seem like we are in the wrong for something we did not do. >> trace: that's exactly right. one of those things where you are like maybe you don't feel it but you can't blame others who do feel it. columbia, one of the frustrating things, columbia last year said the people, the students who occupied hamilton hall were going to be expelled and now we learn none of those kids were expelled, they are all back on campus. what do you think about that? >> i mean what's crazy to me as they actually broke the law. they took hostages. i'm not surprised that the hostage takers are aligning themselves with the hostage takers in another country, but it's especially i imagine terrifying to witness all of this on the heels of an american citizen being executed by these terrorists. and then walking through a campus and facing people who sympathize with the executioners. >> trace: that's exactly

right. ten seconds but i'm wondering what you think of those people who took over that hall being back sitting next to you in class for all intents and purposes? >> i think it's horrible. i think is a jewish community, this past weekend we struggled more than we might have since october 7th and now these people i see on campus, i see them in the hallway, i sit next to them in class and it's really giving me a feeling of unease, that they have zero repercussions. >> trace: great to have you both on, thank you. coming up, kamala harris on the stump using the same line but with different accents. plus, why another california democrat is switching sides. we will find out because that democrat will join us live on set next.

she uses a different accent. christina coleman is live with more on this. good evening. >> reporter: good evening. reaction is pouring in over what critics are calling kamala harris' new accent following comparisons to how she sounded saying the same lines in one speech compared to the same speech and saying those very same lines. critics say she was faking her accent to connect with blue-collar union workers. >> you better thank a union member for sick leave, you better thank a union member for vacation time,. >> thank unions for sick leave, thank unions for paid family leave, thank unions for your vacation time. >> reporter: so fox news is peter doocy ask the preface secretary about this and she refused to answer. >> since when is the vice president have what sounds like a southern accent? >> i have no idea what you are

talking about. >> reporter: and in other unusual political news, amazons oleksiak a very different answers when asked why someone should vote for trump compared to harris. take a listen. >> why should i vote for trump? >> i cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or its leader. >> alexa, why should i vote for kamala harris? >> there are many reasons to vote for kamala harris. the most significant may be that she's a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country. >> reporter: we should note alexa is now giving the same answer for both candidates, saying it does not endorse a political leader, but as you just heard that wasn't always the case. as for political leaders giving answers, kamala harris continues to refuse to do any live tv interviews since last month harris and malls market one single pretaped interview. it was edited when it aired on cnn and trump and vance meantime

have done at least 35 interviews. quite a big difference there. >> trace: alexa, what does it feel like to get busted? christina, thank you. [♪♪] [♪♪] >> trace: let's bring in fox news contributor steve hilton and former democratic state senator gloria romero who also made a big announcement today. all of a sudden you have decided you are going to change parties, and i'm wondering is it a sudden decision, long time coming, what is it? >> it's been a long time coming. i think what really began it for me, is almost a lifelong democrat, was that initial botched withdrawal from afghanistan, it really began to set the tone. this is a democratic party that i no longer recognize. it has moved so far to the left. it's been the party of the march towards war, towards censorship, towards authoritarianism, and then on stable policy issues that i care about, the refusal

to embrace school choice, education freedom for kids who are trapped in failing schools in california. so there's a number of reasons overall but really it became a party that moved so far to the left that neither myself, robert f kennedy junior, i'm amongst the latest who said me too, i can't take it anymore. >> trace: she is not the first, steve. >> and that's what so exciting. we were in sacramento together when gloria made the announcement hasn't as i said this morning, it feels to me that there is a revolution brewing. people really can see that what we've got now isn't working, they are looking for change. democrats, independence, people across the spectrum saying this one-party rule has been a disaster on every front. i feel changes coming to california sooner than people think. >> trace: christina touched on this a bit but i want to get your takes. i want to play some of the fount -- sound, more of the alexa stuff. amazon is like we had no idea.

of course you didn't. watch this. >> alexa, why should i vote for donald trump? >> i cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or specific candidate. >> alexa, why should i vote for kamala harris? >> there are many reasons to vote for kamala harris, the most significant may be that she is a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field. additionally, her experience as a prosecutor and her record of accomplishment in the areas of criminal justice and immigration reform maker a compelling candidate. >> trace: the question is always, why is it that these mistakes only favor the left? nobody ever screws up and it benefits the republicans. >> exactly. the error only happens against trump and the republican party. clearly this is intentional matter think as a society as we move towards artificial intelligence, we need to expect this. it's important to call it out quickly and i'm glad that alexa got busted. >> trace: because the same thing, you have the social media

companies that are coming out saying we are so sorry about that laptop thing, so sorry about the covid then, so sorry about alexa. >> exactly, it's laughable. you see these people and they sort of try to pretend that it's not biased and it's just an error. look, it may not be literally jeff bezos on his super yacht somewhere in the mediterranean typing in the answers, but all of the other people who are there in these companies, this is the reason this happens, they are far to the left, not even mainstream democrats. silicon valley, these tech companies, the people there who are coding the algorithms that produce this kind of bias, they are all on the far left and until that changes, we are going to keep seeing this and that's why as gloria says, we have to call it out. >> trace: of content to sneak this in. the free press says, what are the chances that the president kamala harris would forbear and avoid arm-twisting social media companies into censorship based on harris' record? not great. fifteen seconds for each. >> we listen to her talk about

her lamenting free speech and talking about the need for it to be curved. if she saying that now, imagine if she becomes president what it will look like. you, me, steve, you out there, we won't have a voice. >> trace: we've never seen censorship like this that i can remember. >> and they are not even embarrassed about it. they've bragged about it. during the pandemic they bragged about censoring what they called narratives about the pandemic that they did not like. and so what are the chances she's not going to do this? zero. this is who they are. as gloria said, one of the reasons she became a republican today, because of the growing authoritarianism in the democratic party. >> trace: thank you both. we recently found as we have been talking about here, that alexa from amazon gave different answers when asked about voting for donald trump versus kamala harris. have you ever noticed that censorship always seems to favor the left? coincidence? something more nefarious? let us know x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read your responses next in the nightcap.

[♪♪] >> trace: back with a nightcap crew, kevin corke, ashley strohmier, christina coleman, steve hilton, aaron cohen and gloria romero. tonight's topic, robot bias.

amazon's alexa, distinct bias when answering questions about kamala harris versus donald trump. why is it that censorship always seems to favor the left? coincidence, something bigger going on? kevin corke. >> come on, you know the answer. [ laughter ] >> but i will admit i did check mine and it was doing the same for both candidates. >> trace: that's crazy. ashley strohmier. >> you know, technology is made by man and it's being told to do something by man and it's just very strange that this never happens to the republicans, it's always swaying towards democrats every time. >> trace: a very good point because a friend of mine who's very much into tech says listen, they put out what is put into them. >> exactly. it's people who write the algorithms and produce this, they are on the left. i think the answer, he's already saved free speech so i think we need instead of an alexa in every room we need a little elon in every room for a little

information. >> i think something bigger is going on. that was such a loaded answer too. >> trace: like you've got a great line for kamala and nothing to say about trump. >> if you look really closely on amazon you will see there's a little prime progressive blue tag. that's how you get trump's answer, you just flip it over. >> trace: quick and easy. gloria. >> they say history is written by the victors. in this case ai has been written by the ultra woke and we have to change it. >> trace: that's the thing. you look into the ai stuff and everyone says who's putting the information in? that's what we want to know. who's putting in the juice to get out the juice. so we asked something about this, is there bias or something bigger going on? x 98% say something bigger, instagram 99% say bigger. then we get to papa l saying it favors the left because the squeaky wheel gets the grease and boy is the left squeaky. james says if you control the messaging you control the nation. very true. leslie says it cannot be a

coincidence when it keeps happening, and it does keep happening. mike, all these big tech companies pulls don's like this, then when they are exposed, they cry glitch. you saw a lot of that with alexa. they are saying we are so sorry, this is just something that was a glitch. ziggy says most definitely purposeful, it's so obvious now i don't think they are trying to hide it anymore. chuck says the right is made of individuals, individuals don't censor, the left is made of groups, groups like to censor. what do you think, steve, final thoughts? >> i think that's right and that's why the california revolution is over -- going to overturn the rule of the left and it's something we can all be excited for. >> trace: thank you for joining us and thank you for watching america's late news, i'm trace gallagher in los angeles and we will see you right back here again tomorrow night. thank you for watching.
