Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and the set of Fox and Friends went off the rails
0:07
when a news story about Donald Trump got really, really spirited and the cast got really, really heated at each other
0:17
when they were discussing it. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe

Fox and Friends went off the rails, as I said, when Steve Doocy brought to light an article, an op-ed piece, in the Wall Street Journal
0:37
that accused former President Donald Trump of being frightened to debate. Frightened
0:43
Not that the reasons I've given a million times about why he doesn't want to debate
0:47
not the reasons I think, you know, Brian Kilmeade has given, but because he's afraid
0:51
Now, I don't know what he'd be afraid of. He's got around a 40 point lead on his next closest opponent
0:58
DeSantis is sinking like a stone. I'm not exactly sure what he would have to be frightened of to go to a debate with these people
1:05
But I digress. This looked to me like Wall Street Journal kind of just poking at him like
1:09
are you chicken? Like a little kid would do on the playground. Well, Steve Doocy pointed it out and Brian Kilmeade, well, he came to Trump's defense
1:17
Then Lawrence Jones, the new host, got involved. Let's take a look at it. And once again, Donald Trump is not going to be appearing
1:24
The Wall Street Journal, the lead editorial this morning, the headline is
1:28
Why is he afraid to debate? It talks about how he's got a big lead, but he's acting as if he won
1:35
The last line is, Trump's advisors may be telling him he should appear
1:39
lest he says something that hurts his legal defense, but that's a sign of weakness, not strength
1:44
And he'll have to answer those questions eventually. What is the former president afraid of? Because everywhere I go, when I've talked to people about the debates
1:53
they say they'd really like to see what he has to say. I think Donald Trump and afraid don't add up ever in anything, period
2:01
That conversation stops. Then why doesn't he debate? Because he's up by 40 points
2:05
He's saying what's the point. I think part of it has to do with he might say something that could imperil him legally
2:11
Donald Trump says something that imperils him. I think his attorneys have advised him not to say anything, don't tweet anything, don't go into true social
2:19
And he continues to do it. And it's problematic then when you're running for president. And there's a lot you can't say
2:24
Well, he does run for president. The indictments, y'all, the indictments. I agree with Kilmeade. I don't think Trump is afraid of anything
2:29
Least of all, debating people that he's so far ahead of, it's ridiculous
2:33
I think the reason you don't see him on the debate stage is he has nothing to gain by being there
2:37
He has nothing to gain. He's so far ahead of these people. Why would he even take the chance of going on the debate stage and maybe saying something that could be twisted by the media like they love to do
2:48
And I think that's what the Wall Street Journal is really angry about here. I think that's what they're furious about
2:52
They want him to say stuff that they can then twist and turn into headlines
2:56
And he's not giving them that. And I think that's what this is all about at the end of the day
3:00
I want to know your guys' opinions on this. Do you think he's afraid to debate? Or do you think he's being strategic
3:05
I personally think he's being strategic, but I want to know your opinion. Also, again, please remember to like, share, and subscribe because that really helps us out
