Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and the war between
0:05
former President Donald Trump and Fox News has just taken a vicious turn

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow
0:19
The former president will not be attending tomorrow night's debate. Fox News is hosting it
0:25
It's the first of many. Even the former president had some other news after this I'm going to get to at the end
0:32
of the video that's really going to shake up the Republican landscape
0:36
But the important part of this story right now is that Fox News has decided to ban all
0:41
surrogates for people who did not reach the threshold to make the debate stage from the
0:48
spin room after the event. Now the spin room is where you advocate for your candidate
0:54
It's where surrogates like a Donald Trump Jr. or a Kimberly Guilfoyle or a Representative
0:59
Matt Gaetz or a Representative Byron Donalds would go and hype up their candidate
1:05
Those are all Trump supporters obviously. They would go there. They would talk to the media and say this is why our candidate is the best pick
1:12
But Trump made the debate. He made the debate more than anybody. He just chose not to go
1:18
And if you're him, you can't blame him. Trump brings ratings. He has a gargantuan more than 50 point lead in the polls right now
1:26
There is absolutely no reason for him to draw ratings to a debate where he's going to be
1:32
attacked for about I don't know two hours. How would that help him
1:36
He's winning. These people need to attract people to see them. And I got to tell you guys I don't think a lot of people are tuning in to see Chris Christie
1:44
I don't think a lot of people are tuning in to see Asa Hutchinson
1:48
Don't think a lot of people are tuning in to see Mike Pence. I say Mike Pence's name and I start to fall asleep
1:53
So Trump has no reason to go there and every reason not to go there
1:57
It would be a miscarriage of not justice but a miscarriage of campaign management if his
2:05
campaign advised him to go to this debate. There would be absolutely no reason for it
2:10
It would be one of the worst political moves in history. Former President Trump is far too smart for that
2:17
He's not going to fall into that trap. He's not going to go there and play Fox's game. He doesn't have to
2:22
But Fox banning the surrogates? That's just vindictive. That's just taking it a step too far
2:28
If your policy is that you're going to ban people who didn't make the debate stage well
2:34
then that's one thing. Trump made the debate stage. His surrogates should be there
2:38
But you know what Fox? You know what Fox? I think you wake up every morning and think to yourself how can we alienate more of our
2:44
viewers and time and time again you nail it. You nail it
2:49
Nobody knows how to alienate viewers like you. You go against your base constantly
2:55
It's like you don't know who your audience is. And then Trump rocked them with something else
2:59
He rocked the Republican National Committee with something else. He said not only this debate, he's not doing any debates this primary season
3:05
He sees no reason to. I agree with him. Trump's on the news 24-7
3:11
He doesn't need to do these debates. To debate what? They don't want to debate policy with him
3:15
They want to attack him. They want to impugn his character. They want to attack him as a person
3:20
They want to bring up his legal issues that are a bunch of nonsense to begin with
3:26
And they want to do all this so they can gain a couple points on him. They still wouldn't catch him
3:30
But why do this? It would only hurt Trump in the general election. It would be ridiculous
3:35
There's absolutely no reason for it. Trump made the right decision. Fox News, you did not make the right decision for your fans, for your viewers, and for the
3:43
American people. I want to know what you guys think, so let me know in the comments
3:47
Also, please remember to like, share, and subscribe, because again, that really helps us out
3:51
I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you
